Aaron Cynic writes at Diatribe Media:
Chicago teachers have been on strike for a week, and two other suburban areas have since followed suit. Predictably, the argument coming from critics of the CTU centers around teachers making too much money, putting children at risk while "whining" about pay, and teachers being some sort of self entitled class uninterested in hard work (re: lazy).
Given that the majority of Americans attended school at some point and more than likely, had at least a few good teachers who helped their education and changed their lives in some positive way, it's already hard to imagine the cognitive dissonance it takes to make sweeping generalizations about a group of 30,000 people. But, critics of the CTU seem readily able to forget what the classroom looked like in their day with themselves on the other side of the podium, more than likely not always sitting still and paying attention. In which case, I would suggest those critics who have a fuzzy memory to ask a teacher – maybe one of their old ones – if their job was an incredibly easy cakewalk and if they felt they made too much money for doing it.
In talking to the teachers I have on the picket line, ones I've known and grown up with my whole life (some CTU and some not) and following very easily available analysis and demands, the short answer is, teaching isn't a cakewalk, and most salaries aren't enough. More importantly however, CTU teachers aren't only talking about compensation. They're talking about resources for students. Remember how stifling a hot unairconditioned classroom is on a 90 degree day? How easy do you think it is to keep a classroom of 40 engaged? How exactly should students be taught when books are unavailable? Fixing issues like these are just a few demands the CTU put forth to Mayor Emanuel and his administration. Moreover, in addition to scarce resources and a crumbling infrastructure, those teachers on the line have to educate students facing hunger, poverty, and violence in their daily lives.
Thousands of passionate and caring teachers have filled the streets for a week with parents and children standing with them in solidarity, marching not only on Chicago Public Schools headquarters, but in neighborhoods across the city. Pass any public school and chances are, you'll find well crafted and clever signs with slogans like "Don't starve our neighborhood schools" and "strike of force, not choice." On the first day of the strike, teachers and supporters taped hundreds of notes to the street poles in front of City Hall saying why they're fighting for Chicago's schools. But rather than listen to the teachers, staff, students and parents, so many hang on the words of the mayor, top administrators, analysts or other "experts" who probably haven't spent time in front of a classroom in years, if ever. At a rally in Grant Park this week, one speaker called the relationship between media and the mayor "public education by press release." And so, much of the public still appears willing to take their word over that of experienced individuals from the field.

Harbaugh making a big mistake not playing Smith
There's a new game being played in the sports world, and it's called the eye test.
The latest example is Colin Kaepernick because he wins on style points and can really throw the ball down the field. It seems there is no longer room for a guy who goes to work, grinds it out and wins.
Alex Smith is the latest guy in sports who has tasted success, but isn't doing it the way people prefer.
The nonsense I've been hearing and speculation about Kaepernick has gone over the top. Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, has said he will stick with Kaepernick and the hot hand. He hasn't officially given the No. 1 job to Kaepernick, giving Gentleman Jim a way out if he needs one.
Let me be the first to say it: the San Francisco 49ers' only chance of winning the Super Bowl is with Smith as the staring QB. Kaepernick will be OK, but not this year.
Smith is 19-5 as a starter since Harbaugh has been the head coach, and has gone through tough times and seems to be handling the demotion rather well. If Smith leaves the 49ers at the end of the year, there will be no shortage of job opportunities. The New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars or Kansas City Chiefs all would be in the wings.
The bottom line is winning. Harbaugh is on a roll right now with his decision-making and he is lucky to have the best backup quarterback in football. What Harbaugh is doing might work, but the two-headed quarterback situation hasn't been overly successful in the past.
With Kaepernick as the starter, I don't think San Francisco will make it to the NFC championship game. The 49ers defense won the New Orleans game last week, but that still counts as a win under him.
Good luck to Kaepernick, but we will see what happens when the schedule gets tougher. They have the Miami Dolphins after the St. Louis Rams, but then they will play New England. Whoever starts the Patriots game will lead the 49ers in the playoffs. Let's wait and see.
Condolences to the family of North West side legend and retired firefighter James "Mr. B" Belluomini, a fixture at many 16-inch softball games watching his son Tony. Always had our backs. Good man!
NFL picks:
Last week I went 0-1 so my record is 13-13-1 on the season. This week, take Buffalo (-6) over Jacksonville.

A French-English Grammar
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- In this contrastive French-English grammar, the comparisons between French structures and their English equivalents are formulated as rules which associate a French schema (of a particular grammatical structure) with its translation into an equivalent English schema. The grammar contains all the rules giving the English equivalents under translation of the principal grammatical structures of French: the verb phrase, the noun phrase and the adjuncts (modifiers). In addition to its intrinsic linguistic interest, this comparative grammar has two important applications. The translation equivalences it contains can provide a firm foundation for the teaching of the techniques of translation. Furthermore, such a comparative grammar is a necessary preliminary to any program of machine translation, which needs a set of formal rules, like those given here for the French-to-English case, for translating into a target language the syntactic structures encountered in the source language.

Agents of Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Agents of Translation contains thirteen case studies by internationally recognized scholars in which translation has been used as a way of influencing the target culture and furthering literary, political and personal interests.
 The articles describe Francisco Miranda, the "precursor" of Venezuelan independence, who promoted translations of works on the French Revolution and American independence; 19th century Brazilian translations of articles taken from the Révue Britannique about England; Ahmed Midhat, a late 19th century Turkish journalist who widely translated from Western languages; Henry Vizetelly , who (unsuccessfully) attempted to introduce the works of Zola to a wider public in Victorian Britain; and Henry Bohn, who, also in Victorian Britain, (successfully) published a series of works from the classics, many of which were expurgated; Yukichi Fukuzawa, whose adaptation of a North American geography textbook in the Meiji period promoted the concept of the superiority of the Japanese over their Asian neighbours; Samuli Suomalainen and Juhani Konkka, whose translations helped establish Finnish as a literary language; Hasan Alî Yücel, the Turkish Minister of Education, who set up the Turkish Translation Bureau in 1939; the Senegalese intellectual, Cheikh Anta Diop, whose work showed that the Ancient Egyptians had African rather than Indo-European roots; the Centro Cultural de Évora theatre group, which introduced Brecht and other contemporary drama into Portugal after the 1974 Carnation Revolution; 20th century Argentine translators of poetry; Haroldo and Augusto de Campos, who have brought translation to the forefront of literary activity in Brazil; and, finally, translators of Bosnian poetry, many of whom work in exile.

An Approach to Translation Criticism
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Lance Hewson's book on translation criticism sets out to examine ways in which a literary text may be explored as a translation, not primarily to judge it, but to understand where the text stands in relation to its original by examining the interpretative potential that results from the translational choices that have been made. After considering theoretical aspects of translation criticism, Hewson sets out a method of analysing originals and their translations on three different levels. Tools are provided to describe translational choices and their potential effects, and applied to two corpora: Flaubert's Madame Bovary and six of the English translations, and Austen's Emma, with three of the French translations. The results of the analyses are used to construct a hypothesis about each translation, which is classified according to two scales of measurement, one distinguishing between "just" and "false" interpretations, and the other between "divergent similarity", "relative divergence", "radical divergence" and "adaptation".
Aptitude for Interpreting
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- First published as a Special Issue of Interpreting (issue 10:1, 2011) and complemented with two articles published in Interpreting issue 16:1, 2014, this volume provides a comprehensive view of the challenge of identifying and measuring aptitude for interpreting. Following a broad review of the existing literature, the array of eight empirical papers captures the multiple dimensions of aptitude, from personality traits and soft skills such as motivation, anxiety and learning styles to aspects of cognitive performance. The populations studied, with experimental as well as survey research designs, include students and professionals of sign language interpreting as well as spoken-language interpreting, and valuable synergies emerge. While pointing to the need for much further work, the papers brought together in this volume clearly represent the cutting edge of research into aptitude for interpreting, and should prove a milestone on the way toward supplying educators with reliable methods for testing applicants to interpreter training programs.
Aspects of Cohesion and Coherence in Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book deals with the (re)production of cohesion and coherence in translation. Building on the theories and methods of Translation Studies and Discourse Analysis it answers some basic, still much debated questions related to translational discourse production. Such a question is whether it is possible to analyse the (re)production of coherence, and if yes, how? Can the models devised for the study of English original (not translated) and independent texts (unlike translations and their sources) be applied for the analysis of translation? How do cohesive, rhetorical and generic structure "behave" in translation? How do particular components of coherence relate to translation universals? The volume proposes a complex translational discourse analysis model and presents findings that bring new insights primarily for the study of news translation, translation strategies and translation universals. It is recommended for translation researchers, discourse analysts, practicing translators, as well as professionals and students involved in translator training.
Audio Description
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Audio description (AD) is a narrative technique which provides complementary information regarding the where, who, what and how of any audiovisual content. It translates the visuals into words. The principal function of this ad hoc narrative is to make audiovisual content available to all: be it a guided city tour of Barcelona, a 3D film, or a Picasso painting. Audio description is one of the younger siblings of Audiovisual Translation, and it is epigonic to the audiovisual translation modality chosen. This book is the first volume on the topic written in English and it brings together an international team of leading audio description teachers, scholars, and practitioners to address the basic issues regarding audio description strategies. Using one stimulus, Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds (2009), the authors analysed what, when, where and how to audio describe. The book is written in a collaborative effort, following a bottom up approach. The many issues that surfaced in the process of the analysis were grouped in broader categories represented in the ten chapters this book contains. A good example of a successful international collaboration, the volume sets a robust practical and theoretical framework for the many studies on audio description to come in the future. Considering the structure of the individual contributions, the book is not only oriented towards the identification of the challenges that await the describer, but it also offers an insight into their possible solutions.
Audiovisual Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
The exponential growth of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) in the last three decades has consolidated its place as an area of study within Translation Studies (TS). However, AVT is still a young domain currently exploring a number of different lines of inquiry without a specific methodological and theoretical framework.
This volume discusses the advantages and drawbacks of ten approaches to AVT and highlights the potential avenues opened up by new methods. Our aim is to jumpstart the discussion on the (in)adequacy of the methodologies imported from other disciplines and the need (or not) for a conceptual apparatus and framework of analysis specific to AVT.
This collective work relates to recent edited volumes that seek to take stock on research in AVT, but it distinguishes itself from those publications by promoting links in what is now a very fragmented field. Originally published as a special issue of Target 28:2 (2016).

Babel is a scholarly journal designed primarily for translators, interpreters and terminologists (T&I), yet of interest also for nonspecialist concerned with current issues and events in the field.
The scope of Babel is intentional and embraces a multitude of disciplines built on the following pillars: T&I theory, practice, pedagogy, technology, history, sociology, and terminology management. Another important segment of this journal includes articles on the development and evolution of the T&I professions: new disciplines, growth, recognition, Codes of Ethics, protection, and prospects.
The creation of Babel was proposed on the initiative of Pierre-François Caillé, founding president of the Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs (FIT) and approved by the first FIT Congress of 1954 in Paris. Babel continues to be published for FIT and each issue contains a section dedicated to THE LIFE OF FIT.
Articles for Babel are normally published in English or French but we also accept articles in Arabic, Chinese, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
Babel is published for the International Federation of Translators (FIT).
Basic Concepts and Models for Interpreter and Translator Training
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Basic Concepts and Models for Interpreter and Translator Training is a systematically corrected, enhanced and updated avatar of a book (1995) which is widely used in T&I training programmes worldwide and widely quoted in the international Translation Studies community. It provides readers with the conceptual bases required to understand both the principles and recurrent issues and difficulties in professional translation and interpreting, guiding them along from an introduction to fundamental communication issues in translation to a discussion of the usefulness of research about Translation, through discussions of loyalty and fidelity issues, translation and interpreting strategies and tactics and underlying norms, ad hoc knowledge acquisition, sources of errors in translation, T&I cognition and language availability. It takes on board recent developments as reflected in the literature and spells out and discusses links between practices and concepts in T&I and concepts and theories from cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics.
A Basis for Scientific and Engineering Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This e-book and the accompanying handbook attack many of the most crucial difficulties encountered by both native and non-native English speakers when translating scientific and engineering material from German.The e-book is like a miniature encyclopaedia dealing with the fundamental conceptual basis of science, engineering and mathematics, with particular regard to terminology. It provides didactically organised dictionaries, thesauri and a wide range of microglossaries highlighting polysemy, homonymy, hyponymy, context, collocation, usage as well as grammatical, lexical and semantic considerations essential to accurate translation. It also supplies a wide variety of reference material and illustrations useful to self-taught professional technical translators, translator trainers at universities, and especially to student translators.All the main branches of industrial technology are examined, such as mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, nuclear engineering, and fundamental terminologies are provided for a broad range of important subfields: automotive engineering, plastics, computer systems, construction technology, aircraft, machine tools.The handbook provides a useful introduction to the e-book, enabling readers proficient in two languages to acquire the basic skills necessary for technical translation by familiarity with fundamental engineering conceptions themselves.

Be(com)ing a Conference Interpreter
- + Show Description - Hide Description
This study offers a novel view of Conference Interpreting by looking at EU interpreters as a professional community of practice. In particular, Duflou's work focuses on the nature of the competence conference interpreters working for the European Parliament and the European Commission need to acquire in order to cope with their professional tasks. Making use of observation as a member of the community, in-depth interviews and institutional documents, she explores the link between the specificity of the EU setting and the knowledge and skills required. Her analysis of the learning experiences of newcomers in the professional community shows that EU interpreters' competence is to a large extent context-dependent and acquired through situated learning. In addition, it highlights the various factors which have an impact on this learning process.
Using the way Dutch booth EU interpreters share the workload in the booth as a case, Duflou demonstrates the importance of mastering collaborative and embodied skills for EU interpreters. She thereby challenges the idea of interpreting competence from an individual, cognitive accomplishment and redefines it as the ability to apply the practical and setting-determined know-how required to function as a full member of the professional community.
Benjamins Translation Library
- + Show Description - Hide Description
The Benjamins Translation Library (BTL) aims to stimulate research and training in Translation & Interpreting Studies - taken very broadly to encompass the many different forms and manifestations of translational phenomena, among them cultural translation, localization, adaptation, literary translation, specialized translation, audiovisual translation, audio-description, transcreation, transediting, conference interpreting, and interpreting in community settings (courts, police, healthcare, social services, etc.) in the spoken and signed modalities – as well as the fuzzy boundaries between professional and amateur transfer and the crossroads between translation studies and other (sub)disciplines.
The BTL seeks to revisit and expand the current boundaries of the ever-evolving discipline by providing a forum for exploring this rich array of themes and approaches, in a variety of epistemological, methodological, social, cultural, historical, technological and pedagogical contexts. In the process, it develops - and challenges - existing theoretical and methodological frameworks, or puts existing ones to the test. Each volume represents an original scholarly endeavor - whether in the form of a monograph, a collective volume, a reference work or a postgraduate textbook.
The European Society for Translation Studies (EST) Subseries is a publication channel within the Library to optimize EST's function as a forum for the translation and interpreting research community. It promotes new trends in research, gives more visibility to young scholars' work, publicizes new research methods, makes available documents from EST, and reissues classical works in translation studies which do not exist in English or which are now out of print.
Between Text and Image
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Over the past decade interest in research on screen translation has increased sharply while at the same time fast moving technological breakthroughs are continually modifying and renewing both products and well-established methods of linguistic mediation. Thus, as more scholars choose to devote their energies to investigating this multi-faceted field, there is an ever-growing need to map out where the discipline stands and where it is going in terms of research.
This book sets out to establish the state of the art of this ever expanding field and at the same time to underscore the work of scholars following new paths of investigation both in terms of innovative linguistic mediations being examined and pioneering experimental design.
The volume includes descriptions of sophisticated electronic databases and corpora of audiovisual products for the big and small screen, and the rationale behind them, e.g. how they are created and programmed for querying; technical limitations; homogeneity in querying languages. Furthermore, Between Text and Image also includes a number of cutting edge studies in audience perception of audiovisual products, i.e. empirically based viewer centred studies which are still rare yet essential if we wish to gain a thorough understanding of the field.
Finally, the volume does not fail to ignore examples of original research carried out from both a traditional linguistic viewpoint and from a more cultural perspective.
Beyond Descriptive Translation Studies
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- To go "beyond" the work of a leading intellectual is rarely an unambiguous tribute. However, when Gideon Toury founded Descriptive Translation Studies as a research-based discipline, he laid down precisely that intellectual challenge: not just to describe translation, but to explain it through reference to wider relations. That call offers at once a common base, an open and multidirectional ambition, and many good reasons for unambiguous tribute. The authors brought together in this volume include key players in Translation Studies who have responded to Toury's challenge in one way or another. Their diverse contributions address issues such as the sociology of translators, contemporary changes in intercultural relations, the fundamental problem of defining translations, the nature of explanation, and case studies including pseudotranslation in Renaissance Italy, Sherlock Holmes in Turkey, and the coffee-and-sugar economy in Brazil. All acknowledge Translation Studies as a research-based space for conceptual coherence and creativity; all seek to explain as well as describe. In this sense, we believe that Toury's call has been answered beyond expectations.
Beyond the Ivory Tower
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This collection of essays by contemporary translation scholars and trainers addresses what is a critically important, though often neglected, field within translation studies: translation pedagogy. The contributors explore some of the current influences on translator training from both inside and outside the academy, such as: trends in foreign language pedagogy, teaching methods adapted from various applied disciplines, changes in the rapidly-expanding language industry, and new technologies developed for use both in the classroom and the workplace.
These various influences challenge educators to re-conceptualize the translator's craft within an increasingly specialized and computerized profession and encourage them to address changing student needs with new pedagogical initiatives. Combining theory and practice, the contributors offer discussion of pedagogical models as well as practical advice and sample lessons, making this volume a unique contribution to the field of translation pedagogy.

Bilingual Lexicography from a Communicative Perspective
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This stimulating new book, as the premier work introducing bilingual lexicography from a communicative perspective, is launched to represent original thinking and innovative theorization in the field of bilingual lexicography. It treats the bilingual dictionary as a system of intercultural communication and bilingual dictionary making as a dynamic process realized by sets of choices, characterizing the overall nature of the dictionary. It examines the dictionary and dictionary making by using a model of lexicography which stresses the three-way relationship of compiler, dictionary context and user and incorporates them into a unified coherent framework. Throughout the study, special focus is on English and Chinese bilingual lexicography. It will serve not only as a valuable guide to those interested in dictionary compilation and theoretical inquiries but also as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in bilingual lexicography.

Did you enjoyed about Elive in the past ? These old versions contains tons of unique features and specific things.
But even better than that, they are extremely light on old computers, so even if they are not maintained or supported anymore we kept the downloads available so that you can still use them in any old computer that requires an extremely light system.
These are mostly CDROM versions, so do not try to use them in a USB unless you use unetbootin (which works with these versions because it modifies the bootable files to make it bootable from USB).
Please help us keeping this torrent seeding! my network doesn't allow me to do it so I can only run it some few times

On average, it takes about one hour for your body to break down one unit of alcohol. However, this can vary, depending on factors such as your age, gender, weight, and the type and strength of the alcohol.
On average, it takes about one hour for your body to break down one unit of alcohol. However, this can vary, depending on:
It can also take longer if your liver isn't working normally.
Read more about drinking and alcohol.
One unit is equivalent to 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol. There are roughly:
If you drink a large (250ml) glass of wine, your body takes about three hours to break down the alcohol.
If you drink one pint of beer, your body takes about two hours to break it down. One pint of strong lager is equivalent to three units, so this will take longer.
However, this time can vary, depending on the factors mentioned above.
If you have a few drinks during a night out, it can take many hours for the alcohol to leave your body. The alcohol could still be in your blood the next day.
This means that if you drive the day after an evening of drinking, you could be over the legal alcohol limit. For more information, see How much alcohol can I drink before driving?

Lady Vols Fend Off Missouri, 56-50
COLUMBIA, Mo. (UTSports.com) -- A year after suffering an upset defeat at Missouri, Tennessee withstood a pesky Tigers team to win 56-50 on Sunday afternoon. The 10th-ranked Lady Vols improved to 22-5 overall and 11-3 in the SEC while Missouri is now 16-11 and 5-9 in the league.
Meighan Simmons led Tennessee with 20 points while Bashaara Graves added 11 as the only other Lady Vol in double-figures. Isabelle Harrison had just five points -- but the final four iced the victory.
Missouri was led by Bri Kulas (22) and Morgan Eye (15) as the Tigers overcame 29.2 percent shooting from the floor (19-of-65). Mizzou, known for proficiency from 3-point range, made just 21.9 percent (7-of-32).
The Tigers trailed by as many as 16 in the second half. But, they made a late charge to come within three points at 50-47 on a jumper by Kulas with 1:20 left in regulation.
Missouri had a chance to tie the game in the final minute as Sierra Michaelis' 3-pointer didn't fall with 34 seconds on the clock.
Isabelle Harrison, who was mired in foul trouble all game, knocked down two free throws with 34.7 seconds left - to give the Lady Vols a two-possession lead, 52-47 -- and secure the victory. Those were just the second and third points of the game for Harrison.
After Missouri missed a layup, Cierra Burdick grabbed the loose ball giving the Lady Vols possession. Andraya Carter was fouled and missed the ensuing free throw. But the Lady Vols got the rebound again and Harrison converted two more free throws for the victory.
Kulis banked in a desperation 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds for Missouri's final points of the day. Simmons closed the game with a pair of foul shots for the final 56-50.
Tennessee outrebounded Missouri, 48-35 as both Mercedes Russell (11) and Isabelle Harrison (10) had double-figure boards.
The Lady Vols led a low-scoring first half, 25-22. Tennessee's defense limited Mizzou to 2-of-15 on 3-pointers and just 28.6 percent over the first 20 minutes.
Simmons led all scorers with 10 points in the first half while Russell had eight first-half boards.
The Lady Vols return to action on Thursday as they travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU at 9 p.m. ET.

Firefighters respond to Wendy's for mulch fire
Punxsutawney firefighters responded to a report of smoke in the wall at Wendy's Old-Fashioned Hamburgers on Hampton Avenue at 6:48 p.m. Monday.
Firefighters from Central, Elk Run and Lindsey responded to the scene and verified there was smoke coming from the wall in the northeast corner of the building.
Following an interior investigation with thermal imaging cameras, it was discovered that the smoke originated from the building's exterior,
where someone had tossed a cigarette butt near the drive-thru window, which caught the mulch on fire and pushed smoke into the exterior wall and building.
Following cleanup, the restaurant reopened for business with just minor damage sustained.
Pictured are firefighters cutting into the exterior wall at Wendy's to vent the smoke.
All three companies were back in quarters by 7:25 p.m.

Patch Management
How do you patch non-Microsoft applications?
An effective patch management strategy is critical for distributing software updates and, more importantly, for detecting and remediating security vulnerabilities. Many successful attacks are perpetrated against previously known vulnerabilities in which a patch or secure configuration standard was already available from the software vendor. However, these patches are only effective if they have been deployed.
Symantec IT Management Suite centralizes and simplifies patch management. With this solution you can detect and repair security vulnerabilities for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems as well as Microsoft and over 50 non-Microsoft applications. Patch automation can further streamline the process to ensure patches are applied as quickly as possible. Real-time compliance and detailed reports help ensure smart, fast decisions can be made to keep endpoints protected and maximize productivity.
- Support for Windows, Mac, Linux, and virtual environments
- Support for 50+ non-Microsoft applications
- Patch automation
- Complete audit trail and reporting
Asset Management
Take control of your assets, ensure compliance, uncover savings
Before you can effectively manage and protect endpoints, you first need an accurate picture of the environment. What software and devices are being used, who is using them, how much do they cost, and do they have the latest patches and updates?
Symantec IT Management Suite discovers, inventories, and tracks all the hardware and software assets in your IT infrastructure and manages the relationships between them. Armed with this information, your team can quickly identify problems, apply solutions, and document compliance.
You can also uncover savings opportunities through at-a-glance detailed reports that track software licenses owned versus licenses that are installed and used. This visibility makes it possible to identify unused licenses and assign them to others before buying more as well as improve forecasting and purchasing decisions.
- Discover and manage software and devices
- Reduce costs by eliminating the purchase of unnecessary software and harvesting unused licenses
- Ensure software compliance and prepare for audits
- Manage inventory and plan for future needs
- Maximize the value of your IT assets
Mixed Platform Management
Mac adoption is on the rise
Apple's presence in the enterprise is accelerating and is here to stay. We're no longer just talking about Macs in the graphics department or MacBooks on executive desks. As adoption in the enterprise continues to grow, so will the requirement for IT to move beyond a Windows-centric mindset to also manage and protect Macs.
Symantec offers a comprehensive solution to manage Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX and virtual environments from a single console. With Symantec IT Management Suite, you can easily manage your growing Mac environment just like your other platforms, including imaging, patch management, and software deployment.
- Single console to manage Mac, Windows, Linux, UNIX and virtual environments
- Software detection rules to automatically remediate and reinstall software
- Mac imaging without requiring a separate Mac server
- Simplified Mac software deployment with push button delivery, streamlined software bundles, and automated enforcement of software standards
"If you are going to expect to have some level of security posture for your organization, you have to be able to understand what's on your endpoints. How do you get patch management? How do you deploy applications? How do you inventory what's out there? These are important questions."

In 2008, Jennifer Pharr-Davis set the Women's Supported Appalachian Trail record (57 days and 8 hours, averaging 38 miles per day). As she relates in her newest book, "Called Again," after her first success, she felt called to challenge the record held by men on the trail.
In 2008, Jennifer Pharr-Davis set the Women's Supported Appalachian Trail record (57 days and 8 hours, averaging 38 miles per day). As she relates in her newest book, "Called Again," after her first success, she felt called to challenge the record held by men on the trail.
Throughout this account, Davis gives acknowledgment to those who, at every step on the trail, came to her support. This allowed her, in 2011, to claim the Overall Appalachian Trail record — 46 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes, an average of 47 miles per day.
Her trek was a physical as well as a spiritual journey. Her companions along the way were seasoned hikers, some who were friends, some who became friends. Her biggest supporter was her husband, the man who offered encouragement, food and warmth as she settled into the campsite he had prepared for her at the end of each day.
Davis writes of her physical challenges — the rain, the mud, the bugs, the pain — as something she accepts as part of this quest. Her skills as a hiker help her surmount the physical challenges. Her determination makes her put one step in front of the other every day to meet her goal.
The charm of this book is in Davis's joy of the challenge. And the story is also in praise of the support she received from her husband, Brew, through the many days of training and of his presence during the 46 days of her trek. She talks of their love and the intimacy of their relationship with grace and affection.
She also offers praise to those who joined her at points along the trail, demonstrating that friends and family are the best at keeping up one's spirits. She was joined along the trail at various times by her parents and her brothers as well as by world-class hikers who wanted to show their interest in her success.
While hiking along the trail with her brother, Davis explains her wish to be perceived as an athlete, not as a woman athlete.
"I wish the media did a better job of portraying women as legitimate athletes. … I just want women to have the chance to be taken seriously as athletes. … In ultra-running, when a guy gets beaten by a woman, he usually says that he got 'chicked.' It's common lingo at the finish line, and it implies that there is something inherently embarrassing about it. And I'm not arguing that most men aren't genetically stronger and faster than women, because that's a proven fact. But when it comes to endurance sports, the stronger, faster person doesn't always win."
The lessons she learned along the 2,180 miles of the Appalachian Trail are the lessons of love and commitment. She was challenged at times by those who thought she was obsessed with the trail and that her actions threatened her marriage. Jennifer and Brew Davis married 12 days before she began her first record-setting hike. She writes, " … as long as I surrounded myself with people who loved me and held me accountable, I could give my all to this hike without worrying about compromising who I was. Brew and I both wanted to be good spouses … more than we wanted to set a trail record."
For a young woman, Davis brings to her book wisdom, knowledge and an unquenchable enthusiasm that comes from her youth and from the inspiration of those who support her. And these days, that love looks a lot like Brew and Jennifer's little daughter.
"Called Again" is the second book by Jennifer Pharr Davis relating her challenges and triumphs along the Appalachian Trail. Her first book, "Becoming Odyssa," was published in 2011, and "Called Again" was published this year. In addition, Davis has also authored three hiking guidebooks and is the owner-founder of Blue Ridge Hiking Co.
"Becoming Odyssa," Davis's first book will be used for a common read in ACA 115, Success and Study Skills at Blue Ridge Community College. Use of this book is designed to create a sense of connectedness and continuity necessary for successful first-year programs. Activities throughout the course will be based on this reading. To culminate the common read and to further promote college culture and community, Jennifer Pharr Davis will be on campus in the middle of the semester to lead workshops and a hike for students, faculty and staff.

text:
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not have the kind of appearance that will oblige people to believe. On the contrary, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have a very reasonable appearance in complete conformity with the law of Allah and again in conformity with that law, with a perfectly reasonable life. It is for that reason that it will not be easy for people to recognize Hazrat Mahdi (as), and his identity will only gradually be realized. As Bedizzaman Said Nursi has said, "even his close followers will only recognize Hazrat Mahdi (as) through the luminosity of his faith when they really focus on him."
But already have come some tokens thereof (Surah Muhammad, 18), was written in order to protect the belief of the mass of believers and preserve it from doubt. Like allegorical verses of the Qur'an, some Hadiths about the events of the End Times have profound meanings.
They cannot be expounded in the same way as incontestable verses, and not everyone can understand them. Rather than being expounded, they are interpreted.
In compliance with the secret, "But none except Allah and those who are deeply rooted in knowledge, knows its final meaning (ta'wil)" their interpretation (real meanings) and what is intended by them is understood only after the event, so that those firmly grounded in knowledge say:
"We believe in it; the whole [of the divine writ] is from our Sustainer, (Surah Al 'Imran, 7) and they disclose those hidden truths.
The Rays / The Fifth Ray - p.455
First Point:
Since belief and accountability are a test, a trial, a competition within the bounds of man's will, theoretical issues that are obscure, profound, and in need of careful study and experiment cannot be obvious. They should not be so compelling that everyone has to affirm them willy-nilly. For in this way the Abu Bakr's may rise to the highest of the high and the Abu Jahl's descend to the lowest of the low. If there is no will, there is no accountability. It is because of this mystery and wisdom that miracles are displayed only rarely, and in this realm of accountability, like some allegorical verses of the Qur'an, the signs of the end of the world, which will be visible and seen, are obscure and open to interpretation. Since when the sun rises in the west it will be so clear everyone will be compelled to affirm it, the door of repentance will be closed and repentance and belief will no longer be accepted. For the Abu Bakr's and the Abu Jahl's will be equal in their affirmation of it. In fact, although when Jesus (Peace be upon him) comes he himself will know he is Jesus (pbuh), not everyone will know.
Second Point:
Some of the matters of the Unseen, outside the realm of man's perception, that were made known to the Prophet were made known in detail. These he could in no way alter or interfere with, like the incontestable verses of the Qur'an and 'Sacred' Hadiths.6 Others, employing his eloquence, he would illustrate and explain in detail or in allegorical form suitably to the wisdom of man's accountability. For example, one time when conversing with some people, a deep rumbling was heard. He said: "That is the sound of a rock which has been rolling down hill for seventy years and has at this moment come to rest in the very pit of Hell." (Muslim, Janna, 31, No: 2844; Musnad, iii, 341.) Five minutes after he made this strange announcement, someone came and said: "Such-and-such hypocrite has died. He was seventy years old, and has gone to Hell," showing the meaning of the Prophet's eloquent words.
The Third Point consists of two 'Points':
The First:
Because in the course of time ordinary people attached literal meanings to some Hadiths which had been narrated in the form of comparisons and allegories, such Hadiths are apparently not conformable with reality. Although they are pure truth, they appear not to be so.
The Second:
Some Hadiths refer to the majority of Muslims, or to the Islamic State, or to the centre of the Caliphate, but they were understood to refer to all the people in the world. Although being particular in some respect, they were supposed to be universal and general.
Fourth Point:
Just as for numerous reasons and instances of wisdom hidden matters of 'the Unseen' like death and the appointed hour remain secret, so does the end of the world, which is its death and the appointed hour of mankind and that of the animal kingdom, has been left secret for many good reasons.
...It is for numerous benefits such as these that matters related to the Unseen remain secret. Everyone therefore continually bears in mind both his death and his continued life, and he works both for this world and the Hereafter. He is also aware that the end of the world may occur in any age, or that it may continue, and so works for eternal life within the transitoriness of this world, and strives to build the world as though he were never going to die.
In order not to be disrespectful and disobedient in the face of the principle none knows the Unseen save Allah, those who with dominical leave even, give news of the Unseen other than concerning man's accountability and the truths of belief, have done so only allusively and indirectly. In fact, the good tidings about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Torah, Gospels, and Psalms, are veiled and obscure, in consequence of which some of the adherents of those scriptures put various meanings on those passages and did not believe them. However, since the wisdom in man's accountability necessitates that the questions included among the tenets of belief are communicated explicitly and repeatedly, the Qur'an of Miraculous Exposition and its Glorious Interpreter (Peace and blessings be upon him) tells of the matters of the Hereafter in detail, and of future worldly events only in summary fashion.
Fifth Point:
Also, since the wonders of both the Antichrists (Dajjal), which are related to their centuries, have been narrated in connection with them, those wonders have been imagined to proceed from their persons and this has led to the narrations becoming allegorical and their true meanings being concealed. Like, for example, his travelling by aeroplane and railway train.
And, for example, it is well-known that when the Islamic Antichrist dies, the satan who serves him will shout out the news to the whole world (Muslim, Fitan, 34) from 'Dikili Tas,' the obelisk in Istanbul, and everyone will hear its voice saying that he is dead. That is to say, the news will be broadcast by radio, which is wonderful and leaves even satans in amazement.
Also, since the strange circumstances and fearsome activities of the Antichrist's regime, and the covert organization and government that he founds, have been narrated as referring to his person, their true meaning has remained obscure. For example, "He will be so powerful and long-lived that only Jesus (pbuh) will be able to kill him; nothing else will be able to." (Tirmidhi, Fitan, 62; Abu Da'ud, Malahim, 14; Musnad, iii, 420; iv, 226; al-Hakim, al-Mustadrak, iv, 529-30.) That is, it will only be a revealed, elevated, pure religion that will be able to overturn his way and rapacious regime, and eliminate them. Such a religion will emerge among the true followers of Jesus (pbuh), and it will follow the Qur'an and become united with it. On the coming of Jesus (pbuh) and emergence of the true Christian religion, the Antichrist's irreligious way will be wiped out and will cease. The Antichrist's person could otherwise be killed by a mere germ or by influenza.
Also, the explanations and statements of some narrators, made through their own exertions and interpretations, which are open to error, have been mixed up with the words of the Hadith. Their words have been supposed to be part of the Hadith, and the meaning has been obscured. It does not appear to be conformable with reality and in a way has become allegorical.
Also, in early times the social collectivity and its collective personality had not developed as it has at the present and the idea of the isolated individual was predominant, the extensive attributes and widescale actions of the community, therefore, were ascribed to the persons who led them. In order to be worthy and fitting for superhuman, universal attributes, those persons had to have gigantic bodies and be of vast stature and have colossal power and strength a hundred times surpassing their own, so that is how they were depicted. This was not conformable with reality, and the narration became allegorical.
...Also, the circumstances of the Great Hazrat Mahdi (as) do not fit the narrations alluding to the earlier Mahdis, and these have become allegorical Hadiths...

BUENA PARK, Calif.—For more than 30 years, Richard Bauder has provided audio production services to the greater Philadelphia area. Recently, Bauder Audio Systems added to its audio arsenal extensive quantities of NEXO line array products, including 22 GEO S1210, two GEO S1230, eight of the new RS18 Ray Subs, and six NX4x4 amplifiers.
"We bought the quantities we did to be able to split it in two equal rigs or act as one large system," states Brian Naab, Production Manager. "The sound, price, weight and reliability were big factors as was the US distribution by Yamaha. Having a well-known name like Yamaha behind these products made a big difference over the other European speaker manufacturers that we have used and were considering. When we demoed the RS18, we were very impressed with the quality of the bass, SPL output, and flexibility. Being able to run them in Cardioid or Omni mode depending on the venue was a plus."
"As a production manager, one of the biggest benefits to me with NEXO is the software," says Naab. I can model a room after a sight survey and know what the PA will do for my client before sending it out with the crew. I find GeoSoft2 to be amazingly accurate and reliable in the vertical plane. The NS1 has made it better by adding bass and vastly improving the horizontal prediction. Our guys love the PA and can walk into any venue and fly or stack it without guessing or wasting time with trial and error."
For a sold out show in late November held at the College of New Jersey's Kendall Hall and featuring Mute Math, Plain White T's, and All Time Low, PA consisted of six GEO S1210s ground stacked per side, two RS18s per side, two GEO S830s used for front fill, and three NX4x4 amplifiers.
Bauder Audio has an extensive inventory of Yamaha products including eight PC9501N amplifiers, three Yamaha PM5D-RH digital consoles, three M7CL-48 consoles, three DM1000s, and will typically run a full EtherSound network using a Yamaha console for a given event. "After years of reliability from our Yamaha PM4000's, PM5000 and racks full of effects processors, when the live audio world really embraced digital consoles 8 to 10 years ago the logical choice was to stay with Yamaha," adds Naab. "We started with a couple of DM1000s and as soon as the PM5D-RH came out, we bought two within the first year."
Naab said it was obvious from the very beginning that the 5D was going to be the board that revolutionized the sound reinforcement industry. "The consistency of inputs and outputs made all the difference. For the first time, engineers wouldn't have to worry about what input modules or output modules you had and how they were configured. The mix they dialed up last week in another city would simply load in the next guy's 5D. We've since added a third PM5D-RH and DSP5D Expander to our inventory, and we can't keep them in the building. It's been, by far, the best choice of console we've ever made as a rental and production house. It sounds really good!"

The Greg Wilson is Accused of Stealing Another Comedian's Material while recording America's Got Talent
According to the story that I first read on Slashfilm.com, comedian-contestant, The Greg Wilson, was performing on "America's Got Talent." He went to his closing bit which was an act-out of a mimed argument of a couple arguing in a car.
The crowd loved it, the first two judges loved it. When they got to Howie, he asked the contestant, (The Greg Wilson), "Did you write this, or are you performing someone else's material?"
Right there in front of the audience and the cameras at the Pantages in Los Angeles, he gets asked if he stole material!
To top it all off, Howie says that he knows the comic that does the bit in question. Then he reveals the name of the comic: "Frank Nicotero." Some of you may say, "Who the hell is Frank Nicotero?" Well, Frank is a comic who has been around for quite a while. He's smart and funny… and he also just happens to be the warm-up comedian for… (drum-roll please)…
So The Greg Wilson is being accused of stealing a bit from a comedian who (unbeknownst to him) is in the SAME ROOM!
DOUBLE OUCH with an "OH SNAP!"
Being accused of stealing material is a big deal in this business. It's scummy. It's pathetic. And it can ruin a reputation and possibly a career… isn't that right Carlos Mencia?
But to be snagged while doing it for a television show that gets to broadcast out to tens of millions is epic!
Here's where it gets a little gritty:
I watched both comedians performing the bit:
Here's Frank Nicotero:
Here's The Greg Wilson: (The Bit starts at 3:43)
See The Differences?
When I watched both of the videos my initial reaction was this:
This bit is a high concept bit that could easily be performed by two different comedians. We've all seen couples fighting in a car and I could see that two comedians could come up with similar bits on that concept.
Based on the two versions, I thought that Greg Wilson did a more concise job defining the different characters and acting them out, but…
Jay Leno said to me: "There are no ethics in this business. You have to write faster than everyone else and your reputation will precede you."
Your reputation will precede you…
That's where this conflict begins to sort itself out; and we can begin to answer the question of if the idea was stolen.
If we consider the fact that Frank Nicotero is a seasoned professional who has hosted a television show called "Street Smarts" for 5 years and has had additional success and has a reputation that is super solid in this business, the origination of the bit in question starts to become clear.
But this is what settled it for me…
According to people who know both guys, It's said that The Greg Wilson KNOWS Frank and Greg has SEEN FRANK PERFORM THAT BIT for years. I mean the bit goes back to 1993 for Frank Nicotero. It has been Frank's closing piece for a very long time.
That's where it's No Bueno.
It boils down to this: Having a reputation for being a solid writer and comedian with fresh ideas by actually doing the work and writing on a regular basis is crucial in developing your reputation.
By doing a comedy bit that is known to be a signature bit of another comedian, The Greg Wilson has created a dilemma for himself that he now needs to overcome. He has seriously tainted his reputation and that is now being spread via the internet and social media.
If this story continues to have legs, it could really have an impact on his career and what other people in this business think of him.
Also consider this: America's Got Talent is a reality show. It stays on the air as long as the ratings stay high. Much of the ratings are driven by conflict and drama on the show and although Frank was told that The Greg Wilson's bit will never be aired…
A decision might be made by the show's producers to air the segment just for the sheer drama and conflict. It's bound to drive ratings and new blog posts, shares on Facebook and tweets on Twitter.
This story doesn't die here. It reanimates when the show airs in about 6 weeks for potentially tens of millions of viewers watching on T.V. and potentially millions in the blogosphere and social media all pointing to the headline of The Greg Wilson allegedly stealing Frank Nicotero's routine and performing it on Television.
Your reputation precedes you, indeed.
Love to hear your thoughts on this situation pro or con…

Back in the mid-1990s, there was a general perspective among mediators that California law provided inadequate confidentiality within the mediation process. Then in 1997, the legislature passed the California Mediation Act, which included a chapter on confidentiality and privilege, at Evidence Code §§1115 et. seq. This legislation set forth virtually absolute rules protecting confidentiality in the mediation process.
This article is reprinted with permission from the October 16, 2013 edition of The Recorder.
by Richard Zitrin
Then, the court of appeal decided Foxgate Homeowners' Association v. Bramalea California Inc., 78 Cal.App.4th 653 (2000). In Foxgate, an appointed hybrid mediator/discovery master required the parties to appear with their experts for five days of hearing. Defense counsel refused to bring his experts, saying he didn't want to respond to the plaintiff's frivolous claim. The mediator prepared a report to the court, a procedure the parties had agreed to, and based on that report's conclusion that counsel had delayed and obstructed the mediation process, the trial court sanctioned defense counsel. The appeals court wrote that "[w]hile confidentiality is essential to make mediation work, so too is the meaningful, good faith participation of the parties and their lawyers." Concluding that no privilege should be read so broadly as to immunize parties and their lawyers from sanctions for disobeying court orders, the court held the mediation privilege must be waived notwithstanding the clear statutory language.
Most mediators who read this opinion were worried if not appalled that all the gains in confidentiality had been snatched away by the appeals court. But their fears were soon assuaged by the state's highest court. In its Foxgate opinion, 26 Cal.4th 1 (2001), the California Supreme Court, saying that confidentiality is essential to effective mediation, held that the new act provided for "no exceptions," and that the statute "unqualifiedly bars disclosure of communications" in the mediation. It reversed the appellate court and held that the mediator/referee could not report the conduct of defense counsel, even if the mediator thought counsel acted in bad faith. The two competing issues of good faith and confidentiality directly squared off in Foxgate, and confidentiality won. Mediators heralded the day, I among them.
But we were wrong. A statute that allows for "no exceptions" often results in serious unintended consequences. So was it with the California Mediation Act.
In 2011, the California Supreme Court again opined on this act and again found the confidentiality protections immutable. Cassel v. Superior Court, 51 Cal.4th 113 (2011), concerned a client who filed a complaint against his own lawyers for legal malpractice due to advice below the standard of care given prior to and at the mediation. "Petitioner's deposition testimony," noted the court, "was consistent with the complaint's claims that his attorneys employed various tactics to keep him at the mediation and to pressure him to accept [the opposing party's] proffered settlement for an amount he and the attorneys had previously agreed was too low." But the plaintiff's own testimony as to his lawyer's incompetence was ruled inadmissible:
"The plain language of the statutes compels us to agree with ... the legislature's explicit command that, unless the confidentiality of a particular communication is expressly waived, ... [it] extends beyond utterances or writings 'in the course of' a mediation, and thus is not confined to communications that occur between mediation disputants during the mediation proceeding itself....
Plainly, such communications include those between a mediation disputant and his ... own counsel, even if these do not occur in the presence of the mediator or other disputants."
The Cassel court recognized the extreme consequences of its opinion, but felt compelled to "apply the plain terms of the mediation confidentiality statutes to the facts of this case unless such a result would violate due process, or would lead to absurd results that clearly undermine the statutory purpose." Justice Ming Chin, concurring "reluctantly," noted that "this holding will effectively shield an attorney's actions during mediation, including advising the client, from a malpractice action even if those actions are incompetent or even deceptive. ... This is a high price to pay to preserve total confidentiality in the mediation process."
Too high a price. If the Cassel result was not so "absurd" as to "undermine the statutory purpose" in the unanimous view of our seven highest jurists, then the legislature must change the statute so that the unintended consequences of protecting incompetent, "deceptive," and even overtly dishonest lawyers who hurt their own clients can be corrected.
Want an example? I have recently been involved in a matter in which, in the underlying case, the plaintiffs' attorneys settled with a bank on behalf of a large number of individual plaintiffs without their clients being present at the mediation or even being aware of that the mediation was taking place. The lawyers then drafted a settlement agreement between the bank and the lawyers. Almost a year went by until the lawyers told their clients about the settlement, offered each client a pittance, and left the lawyers with millions of dollars in unearned fees. Fraudulent? Clearly. Criminal? Very possibly. But when the civil suits were filed by the clients against the lawyers, the lawyers tried to hide behind the mediation privilege; they claimed, as mediation "participants," their conversations with the bank's lawyers at the mediation and afterwards were confidential and privileged. Even though their own clients had no idea what they were doing.
This, obviously, is an extreme case, and one in which, I believe the mediation privilege will fail. But its extreme facts harken back to the danger of the Mediation Act as drafted — that, to paraphrase Justice Chin, the act will be used to shield even deceptive (or crooked) lawyers.
Privilege and confidentiality are vitally important to the mediation process. I'm glad Foxgate protected that process. But while the court's reasoning is understandable, the Cassel case leads to an absurd result — one that allows lawyers to be sloppy, negligent and incompetent without cost to them, and even worse, to cheat their clients with impunity. Lawyers who says at mediation "I'll quit your case tomorrow if you don't settle," or "I want a 10 percent higher contingency fee before I 'let you' settle" get a free pass under the current statutes.
These statutes must be changed. The Uniform Mediation Act, approved in 2003, and now adopted or closely followed in 16 states, has a firm but wiser confidentiality policy. From the summary of the act written by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws:
"[T]he central rule of the UMA is that a mediation communication is confidential, and if privileged, is not subject to discovery or admission into evidence in a formal proceeding." But "as is the case with all general rules, there are exceptions." Among them:
• "Evidence that is otherwise admissible or subject to discovery";
• "A party that discloses a mediation communication and thereby prejudices another person in a proceeding is precluded from asserting the privilege to the extent necessary for the prejudiced person to respond";
• "A person who intentionally uses a mediation to plan or attempt to commit a crime, or to conceal an ongoing crime";
• A communication "made during a mediation session that is open to the public, that contains a threat to inflict bodily injury, that is sought or offered to prove or disprove abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exploitation [of] a child"; or
• A communication "that would prove or disprove a claim of professional misconduct filed against a mediator, or against a party, party representative, or non-party participant based on conduct during a mediation."
The UMA exceptions make sense. So does the recognition that any general rule needs exceptions. California needs a strong mediation confidentiality rule. We also, clearly, need reasonable exceptions.
