Oracle XE is great because it is lightweight and "free to develop, deploy and distribute". Dietmar Aust has posted a thorough clarification on XE licensing, where representatives from Oracle have confirmed that XE is indeed free. (The post also includes some good security advice in the comments.) Oracle XE has its limitations, but I've previously posted some performance benchmarks for Oracle XE, which shows that it is more than good enough for many use cases.
Back to the topic of this post... during the Q&A part of the "Oracle Database 12c Launch Webcast" there were several questions about a 12c version of XE:
Will there be an Oracle 12c Express Edition? It is planned, but there are no dates yet.
Is there an Express edition of 12c available? Planned, but no dates yet.
Will 12c be available for Express Edition? If so, schedule? Planned but no dates yet.
So basically, we now know that there will be an Oracle 12c Express Edition coming out, but we have no idea when. Hopefully it won't take 5-6 years, like the wait between 10g and 11g... (and when it arrives it will probably be for 64-bit Windows,
But hey, it's free, and it's a great product, so it will be worth the wait! :-)

Lawmakers' decision not to extend the payroll tax at the start of the year has not only dampened consumers' spending habits, but also their social lives.
Continue Reading Below
The payroll tax rate increased to 6.2% from 4.2% at the start of the year under a plan on Capitol Hill to help advert the fiscal cliff. The temporary payroll tax was put in place in 2010 to help boost Americans' paychecks and spur consumer spending during the tough economic environment.
As a result of the reduce paychecks, which is an average $130 less a month, Americans are cutting back on their socializing and workday spending, according to a new survey.
According to the survey from Accounting Principles, 20% of respondents have cut back on going to bars and restaurants because of the tax hike, and 19% have given up eating lunch out. These activities are a big part of consumer spending: the survey found 82% of Americans buy coffee regularly, spending about $20 a week, while 89% average more than $35 weekly on lunch. API surveyed 1,000 working Americans for the study.
Turning to Retirement Savings
To help cope with a reduced paycheck, survey respondents report tapping into their 401(k) savings.
The survey found 25% are using their retirement savings for health-care costs, 27% are using it for home or car repair, and 22% are using the savings to help make ends meet during unemployment. Men (29%) were nearly twice as likely as women (15%) to cite unemployment as a reason to use these savings.
"People will tighten their spending, and it will certainly have an impact on buying patterns," Chavez says. "They will look for more resources or a cheaper way to get things—like a less expensive cup of coffee in the morning. They are so used to getting those things; they will continue to look for them, just cheaper."
Others are using their 401(k) savings for discretionary spending , a trend that that surprised Jodi Chavez, senior vice president of Accounting Principles."They are pulling from their 401(k) for leisure type activities. In the short-term this may help the economy in certain industries, like construction, if they are using it for home remodeling."
But if Americans fail to replace the money they borrow from their accounts, they will have less funds to tap in retirement, which creates more economic problems since the economy relies heavily on spending from retirees.
Doing the Math
This tax increase is on the first $113,700 in earnings, according to Michael Sonnenblick, tax analyst at Thomson Reuters, and impacts earners differently.
He offers these two examples:
A single individual making $113,700 annually will see his or her taxes increase to $17,000 from $14,700 a year with the standard deduction.
A single individual making $400,000 a year will see his or her taxes increase to $84,000 from $81,700. Both groups see their taxes increase by $2,274, however the percentage of their income lost is quite different, Sonnenblick stresses.
Lower-income earners will feel the tax hike more than high-earners, losing more of their budget to Uncle Sam.
"For the person making $113,700 a year, before the 2% tax hike, the blended tax bracket was 12.92% of their income, and that increases to 14.93%-- its two percentage points but is 15.5% of an increase," he says. "For the person making $400,000 a year, its much less, because this tax is capped at $113,6700. From a tax perspective it's regressive. They have a bigger economic effect on lower earners."
Making Up for the Loss
Consumers feeling the squeeze from the increase need to review their budget, spending habits and debt situation immediately, recommends Rob Lutts, CIO of Cabot Money Management.
For debt-laden people, he suggesting finding credit cards that offer low interest rates, especially if you carry a balance. "There are many offerings out there and some people don't even know what they are paying.
Next, take a look at non-essential spending and cut back. One place people often overlook is spending on utilities. Lutts advises being more efficient when using electricity, heat and air conditioning "It may be worth it to throw on a sweater. A lot of people don't turn their thermostat when they leave for work for the day."
To create a new budget under the new available income, write down exactly what you buying and how much for two weeks. Then review the list and identify and "impulse buys" you can doo without. Lutts says there are many free apps that can help monitor and track spending to help stay on budget.
"Keep track of the money you are spending more and what you can do without. I bet you can shave back about 5% of that impromptu spending. This makes you more aware."

Hollywood actor Tom Hanks is suffering from diabetes.
The "Cast Away" star, 57, who has been dealing with high blood pressure since the age of 36, revealed he has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, a lifelong condition which occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin.
The star opened up about the condition on the "Late Show with David Letterman," saying, "I went to the doctors and they said, 'You know those high blood sugar numbers you've been living with since you were 36, well you've graduated, you've got Type 2 Diabetes young man.'"
The Oscar-winning actor has been advised to lose weight to help control the symptoms but believes he will struggle shedding the pounds, adding, "Well it's controllable and through diet. My doctor said, 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be completely healthy and not have Type 2 diabetes.' And I said, 'Well, I'm going to have Type 2 diabetes then.'"

Keith Urban + Vince Gill's We're All For the Hall Concert Nets Nearly $650,000
Thanks to the handiwork of Keith Urban, Vince Gill and a group of country music stars, the Country Music Hall of Fame has a nice-sized donation check coming its way. This year's All For the Hall benefit concert raised close to $650,000 for the museum of country music memories.
The lineup for the April 16 concert read like a who's who list of country music stars. In addition to Urban and Gill, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Rosanne Cash, Jessi Colter, Billy Joe Shaver, Hank Williams Jr., Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Brantley Gilbert, Montgomery Gentry, Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock performed during the event.
The all-star guests were selected and invited personally by Urban. But as in years past, Gill, who is President of the museum's Board of Officers and Trustees, joined the 'You Gonna Fly' hitmaker on stage.
The two hosts opened the evening with passionate guitar work by playing a few rock songs that have been influenced by country music (think: Rolling Stones, Marshall Tucker Band and Gregg Allman). Their selections set the tone for the nigh t-- after that, every guest performer came on stage and said a few words about how country music has influenced them and why they wanted to donate their time to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
After every guest performed a special number, most of the lineup returned to the stage to close the set with Hank Williams Jr.'s 1979 hit, 'Family Tradition.'
"This year's All For the Hall show was the biggest and best ever," said Museum Director Kyle Young before calling the lineup "inspiring and humbling (quote via MusicRow)."
As in years past, the combination of country music memories and decades of talent made for a special evening in Nashville. In four years the event has raised over $2 million.

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:
Beware of the Crash Diets
Most people think that trimming down the calories can alone shed off their unwanted excess. Probably this is because of the fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages. What people don't know is that this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way to below the required levels, the body begins to digest the fats. Sounds good but it doesn't actually. Burning fat requires a lot of energy. Since there is not much energy in the body to facilitate metabolism of fat, it will run at a very slow pace resulting to fatigue, illness and weak immune system.
Low-calorie diet is also compensated for by the body by burning muscle. People on this type of diet who revert back to their old eating habits end up gaining back some, if not all the weight they have shed off. This would consist mainly of fats. And since fats have more volume per mass than muscle, they end up having the same weight as before but more bulkier. In losing weight, one should keep in mind that they should lose excess body fats only.
However, one can try out eating small meals at more frequent intervals. This way the body will not think that it is being starved and will not store food as fat.
Eat Properly
One may have considered junking the crash diet option but he should also not forget to watch what he is eating. Variety must always be considered so that one may be able to get the necessary nutrients from his diet.It is also healthier to eat food which are roasted, steamed or broiled rather than fried. It is also important to include a lot of fiber in the diet. Frequent rehydration is also necessary.
Pump Up lean Muscle Mass
Muscles burn calories when they work; they even do so at rest. Unlike fats which just lie around, bulge around the pants and dangle beneath the sleeves, muscles burn calories all-day round. With this fact, one can start weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The more muscles, the less fat will be left. This is attainable starting with working out with resistance exercises.
Engaging in Aerobics
Aerobics are not only good for the heart by increasing cardio-vascular endurance. Aerobics also help in increasing lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing excess body fat. Aside from these, aerobics make the metebolic process more efficient and its rate high, even after a long while. Imagine burning fat efficiently while driving along the freeway or even while watching television.
Extra "Push"
Some people believe that smoking and caffeine can actually help in losing weight. This can perhaps be true; however, they do the body more harm than good because of their side-effects. For that extra "push", one can try out taking food supplements. Afterall, 95% of these products out in the market actually does good.
On Taking Diet Pills
Over-the-counter diet pills affect the amount of weight one loses as well as how long one keeps that amount of weight off. However, one must be wary of the side-effects of these diet pills. As such, one must faithfully follow the instructions provided for in the packaging. It is also prudent to consult the physician anyway before trying out these drugs and also to find out which type would be best for the individual.
Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering. It actually means opening up to a more full and healthy life where one may not have to feel bad about himself having to look the way he does or not being able to do what he wants to do. Losing weight might entail a little adjustments plus the discomforts, but as the old saying goes, "no pain, no gain." Besides fat, what has one got to lose anyway?
Pointers on Losing Weight Safely
People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:

Mr. Fardig adds that "Anybody

and the beauty he finds in the
simple folk and religious songs.
To hear him play the lute in it-self
is a worthwhile experience."
ALSO ON THE PROGRAM, the

The 36-voice chorus under the
direction of Mr. Sheldon Fardig

THE STORY, according to

Confusing Muddle?
Dear Editor:
-[- Bethel has a code of language which is a con-fusing
muddle of slang.
The use of slang around school has been ex-cused
by some by the explanation that they do
not use slang in public. But can we continue to use
slang around school and not use it in public?
"What are we supposed to do," others ask,
"run around with a dictionary?" Hasn't fourteen
years of schooling made some contribution to our
vocabulary? By the time we reach college age
level, perhaps we could apply some of our learning
to a more cultured and intellectual manner of
our slang just a modification of profanity
we think Christians can use without trans-gressing
the third commandment?
"If we don't use this casual talk, kids off
campus will think we're a bunch of religious duds,"
is the argument sometimes quoted. When incorrect
speech is not acceptable in the Lord's eyes, isn't
it our duty as Christians to use correct speech?
And shouldn't we regard what the Lord thinks of
us as being more important than what others
think of us ?
We should remember that our Christian testi-mony
is reflected in our talk.
Too Much Litter!
Dear Editor:
Once upon a time there was a high school.
In this high school was a fruit vending machine,
put there by the administration, because it held to
the adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
One day a student graduated from this high
school and went on to a certain college. At this
college she found three vending machines: one for
soda-pop, one for candy, one for gum. And there
was also a coffee shop.
Well schooled in the value of nutrition, the
student hunted in vain for a fruit machine. Not
finding one, she asked the administration office
about it. Came the reply, "Oh, no, the college stu-dents
cannot be trusted. Having a fruit vending
machine would result in too much litter being strewn
The student left, confused.

Freeways Perturb Plug;
Half-mile Hike Hateful
by Ignatz Plug
In the long course of human history a ten-dency
can be noted of civilization to progress in
a westerly direction. Those countries that harbored
civilization in their bounds became the leaders in
their time and world. The Chinese were first in
line for the blessing, but then gave way to the
appeal of the old American adage urging that young
civilization go west. It travelled to Greece, then
to Rome, Spain, France, England, and finally
reached the American continent.
The American government fearful that this
trend should continue (for the next country in line
would be Russia) has ventured out upon a thirteen
billion dollar highway construction program which
will bring the civilization of the west coast and
its freeways back toward the East.
Waste in government spending is often attacked
and one can easily understand the validity of the
attacks when one looks at the unimaginative free-way
system now being constructed on this campus.
The government officials' optimistic views about
the energy of college students for they seem to
think that these students will use out-of-the-way
freeways between library and gym, girls' dorm and
gym, and college building and boys' dorm, and boys'
dorm and girls' dorm. This last one is the one most
indefensible in argument. Now don't get me wrong
—it's not that I grudge the married couples their
privacy, but when I have to make an extra half-mile
hike, just to end up no further than Bethel's
gourmet grotto then I do think, too, that government
waste is inexcusable.
Well, one man's poison is another man's meat!
Next year ought to be a good year for grass seed
Programs Founder-
Facilities At Fault
Friday evening, April 18, an enthusiastic group of Bethel stu-dents,
some 32 in number, presented a delightful little program to an
anything but enthusiastic audience, composed largely of students from
our fair college.
We should not take the audience to task for not being more res-ponsive,
for the real tragedy does not lie here. Nor should any blame
be placed on Pam Everburg, student director of the evening's activities.
On the contrary she should be commended for her efforts. And appre-ciation
should also be expressed to the cast for, with a few minor
exceptions, the program was well presented.
It appears the real tragedy is that we as students have come to
believe we can continually promote activities and events without any
regard to the deteriorating effect of attempting to work with make-shift
PICTURE YOURSELF in a dimly-lighted auditorium, open to the
high-ceiling where close scrutiny reveals a multitude on inter-laced steel
beams. Suspended from these beams are four baskets, and as your gaze
travels about, you notice another backboard and basket projecting
from the wall. You glance down at your feet and realize (perhaps)
that the greasy canvas beneath you is covering a basketball floor and
is necessary although nat too nice. About this time your attention is
probably drawn once again to the walls and there in front of you is
the basketball scoreboard and that somewhat ridiculous-appearing
portable stage with its somewhat ridiculous-appearing portable backdrop.
THEN THE HOUSE-LIGHTS dim and the stage lights come on
and these thoughts are brushed gently from your mind as the curtain
draws smoothly open. But what is this, the curtain is not being drawn
smoothly open, but is rather being folded up (somewhat crudely) by
a few stalwart students. Well anyway on with the show, but somehow,
you can't quite hear what the master of ceremonies is saying . . . ah
that's much better; someone had forgotten to turn off those huge, noisy
circulating fans. And now on with the show, but first a brief pause
while struggling stagehands stagger on with some of the scenery,
which by the way is stored around and behind the stage, semi-concealed
by portable screens placed to the sides of the stage itself. And those
people who are constantly bustling about behind the stage are cer-tainly
disconcerting. They are participants in the program and have
no place to await their appearances on stage.
But now it's time for the grand finale and as 32 people gather
on stage to sing the closing number, the portable stage creaks and
groans and seemingly threatens to collapse yet somehow manages to
remain intact throughout the entire number with only a minimum of
Incongruous, far-fetched, ridiculous, unbelievable—not really, just
another dramatic production in Bethel's fine fieldhouse auditorium.

How Far?
What exactly should be the relation of the
Church (and each Christian) to the "world"? We
speak rather glibly of "separation from the world,"
meaning by this that we do not smoke, drink, or
dance, etc. But is this a satisfactory answer to the
centuries-old problem of the tension between Christ
and culture, between the Church and the world, and
between God and the devil?
To what extent should Christians be "separ-ated."
Tolstoy said, "completely so! Even in mat-ters
of economics, education and politics." Is this
complete isolation and escape the New Testament
pattern? Perhaps so!
Three other general "answers" have been tried
by the Church from time to time. One might be
called identification with the world in which little
distinction was made between regenerate and un-regenerate
Another attempt at solution has been dubbed
adaption to the world in which the Church (and
Christians) learned "to be all things to all men"
that they may win some. This usually ended in
compromise in some areas. But is compromise nec-essarily
A fourth attempt to fulfil the commands of
Christ has taken the form of transformation of the
world. This has been seen as both an individual
and a corporate process. This emphasis on trans-formation
involves the use of each of the other
philosophies. It incorporates rejection of the world,
identification with the world, and adaptation to the
world. Is this the best solution? And is it a working
die goo&ti.

Making Religion Real by Nels F. S. Ferre is a
provocative essay on the necessity of making the
religious experience of an individual a vital day-to-
day reality.
In his book Dr. Ferre points out specific areas
which are important in the experience of making
religion real. He offers concrete guidance in the
areas of: Thinking, Reading, Prayer, Worship, the
Family, Friendship, Giving, and Suffering. In actu-ality
he has fully covered most every facet of life
and his comments are not only pertinent but in many
places take on a brilliance not often found in con-temporary
religious writing of a devotional nature.
His prominent stress on the nature of the full-ness
of God and the necessity of finding in Him the
nature of true reality is a theme not often dealt
with. His is always the thoughtful approach, recog-nizing
the necessity for faith, but striving always
for a balance between the mysterious and the ra-tional.
"To know God is to find religion real."
Many-splendored Spring
Ah, Spring!
That time of year when flowers begin to shoot,
The frozen soil returns to springy turf,
And freshly cleaned saddle oxfords
Get a lovely coating of dark brown earth.
Wonderful spring!
When birds and contractors return to our campus
And giant machines tear up the ground,
Roaring bad-temperedly when the going's tough
While professors shout, and sore throats abound.
Amazing spring !
When the naked trees modestly grow leaves,
And Bethel girls astound all the guys
By wearing clothes imitating a lowly container
As though they were vegetables in disguise.
Glorious spring!
When every corridor and classroom is filled
With abundant fresh air and the threat of exams.
As professors drone, the breeze flows in
While the minds of students flow out again.
Alluring spring!
When studies become an unbearable burden,
And students go bird-watching for an excuse.
Over to Como, they roam in pairs,
But the birds are ignored, so what's the use?
Rapturous spring!
Please don't leave us too soon.
Before you are over, our term papers are due
And insistent professors are threatening coer-cion.
Can't we have any time to appreciate you?

Elven in Dwight's absence with the college choir.)
Bethel last Friday at the Hamline meet made a good showing on
the track and off. Bethel supporters appeared to be the most numerous.
They seemed to have enjoyed themselves and if asked would no doubt
recommend attendance at future track meets to anyone. Their presence
was a significant boast to the Bethel cindermen. — C. W.
Don Sension and Dick Benert have been chosen co-captains of the
1958 Royal tennis team. Dick and Don are two of the four main stays
from last year's squad, the others being Ed Tegenfeldt and Dick Gra-ham.
Rounding out this year's squad are two freshmen, Jerry Turnquist
and Chuck Adelsman.
Bethel's Royal racket squad will open their season against North-western
on Thursday, May 1, at 1:30 p.m.
Good luck fellas in your eight match series!
Let's take a look at the seemingly drastic results of the Carleton
Relays held a couple of weeks ago. At Carleton were 20 schools varying
greatly in size and among the mass were the blue and gold Royals of
Three points is the sum total of Bethel's combined efforts, which
does not leave them in last place by the way. Credit for these three
points goes to big Don Becker, our North Dakota farmer, who placed
third in the discus with a toss of 132 feet. Becker has thrown the saucer
farther than this but has had trouble keeping his big frame in the
relatively small circle, which is required.
In all the events in which the Royals participated they never fin-ished
lower than eighth, which is good considering there were 20 teams.
Our sprint medley team finished a respectable seventh. A mile
medley is a relay consisting of a 440 (Carlson), two 220 (Luckman,
Christenson), and an 880 (Nerstad).
Coach "Fritz" was very pleased with the day's work and mentioned
that the times turned in by his boys were much improved over the
previous meet.
Mankato State, which took the meet, has one of the better small
college track squads in the state, although they were nosed out last week
by Duluth and Carleton. The quizzical part of it, is that Bethel is
scheduled to face this same power in a quadrangular meet, Saturday,
May 17.
What will be the outcome ? As I see it, two and a half evils exist,
One, the team will be run into the ground, demoralizing it to the extent
of a sub-conscious defeatism for the all-important Conference meet
(Badger-Gopher) a week later. Two, if the squad does not run, will it
become stale and lose out on experience so valuable to the individual
trackmen ? What can a half evil be ? Just this. To the gals and the
socially inclined athletes, the F-S and J-S banquets are dated the
seventeenth also.
Take Three
Bethel dropped a heartbreaker
to Augsburg last Tuesday 4-3.
Royal defense was superb as only
two men reached base in the first
four innings; both of them were
retired by Jerry Oas on attempted
steals. Borms yielded 5 hits, struck
out 5, as he was charged with the
loss. Bethel got their runs: 2 in
the second, 1 in the fourth; Augs-burg
tied it up with 3 in the 5th.
The blow came on the first pitch
of the ninth inning to Thorsen, the
Auggies clean-up hitter; he sent
it 310 feet for a homer and the
game-winning run.
Bethel took on Bemidji State
for their first home game and
proved that they could play ball.
Lynn Davidson went all the way to
garner the 10-9 victory. McNaugh-ton
got a homer; but the winning
run came in the seventh, when an
error, two hit batters, a double,
and a single, gave four runs and
the win.
It's a habit! The Royals trounced
the Northwestern Eagles, 19-6,
for their second victory on the
home diamond. All the starters
got hits, Borms four for four;
Nelson went the distance for the
decision. The big blast came in the
seventh when Albright hit a grand
slam homer for 4 of the seven
runs that inning.
Bethel hosted Luther college at
McMurray field for their first dou-ble
header. The Royals bowed in
defeat 10-3, 1-0.
Fleet Feet
Displayed At
Last Tuesday the Bethel track
team presented another evidence
of its consistent improvement. Just
one example—the winning time of
the one mile relay team (Olson,
Christenson, Carlson, Jackson) was
3:41.4 which is 5.5 seconds faster
than their previous best effort.
Bethel with 45 1/2 points wrested
third place from the clutching
hands of Northwestern who had
seven points. Macalester's winning
total was 86 1/2 ; the University of
Minnesota at Duluth had 64. Most
of the Royal's strength appeared
in the dashes.
Bethel college's trackmen ran
third in a quadrangular meet held
at Hamline university on Friday,
April 25. Augsburg and Hamline
competing stronger than expected,
scored 71 and 61 respectively.
Bethel had 38 and St. Thomas 30.
Jim Jackson looked very good
while winning the broad jump
and tying for 2nd, 3rd, and 5th
in the high jump, 100 and 220
yard dashes respectively. Jim col-lected
a total of 11 1/2 points.
Another outstanding performer
was Denny Nerstad, who ran sec-ond
and third in the 880 and the,
mile. His final burst of speed in,
the 880 yard run which took him
past three opponents was one of
the more exciting parts of the
Albin Carlson also came through
with a fine finish while anchoring
the one mile relay team. The unit
consisting of Ron Olson, Stu Luck-man,
Neil Christenson, and Carl-son,
took second to Augsburg's
foursome, but turned in a 3:46.9
time. Al also took a fourth place
in the 440 yard dash.
Don Becker performed well for
Bethel in the weight department
with a third place in the discus
and a fourth in the shot put.

wind. Davies, Miller, and Larson
each took two of three possible
points. A forfeit accounted for
Bethel's other three points.
Our blue and gold golf squad
defeated a Luther college four-some
10-2 at Como park golf
course last Saturday.
Bethel was severely whipped in
their first match with River Falls
and Winona State last week. With
the return of their ace Dave Dav-ies
who was in California with
the male chorus, and some major
shuffling within the team itself,
the squad was able to win handily
from Luther.
Davies shot a beautiful game,
in spite of the fact that this was
only his third time out this season.
He came in with a highly respect-able
79 and collected his maxi-mum
of 3 points as did Jerry
Miller and Bill Larson; Joel Stolte
took 1 point.

Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung has turf toe, a sprain of the ligaments in his big toe. The bad news is the injury likely will keep Okung from facing the Jaguars on Sunday.
The good news is the Seahawks are facing the Jaguars on Sunday.
Coach Pete Carroll called the sprain "significant" on Monday, and he addressed whether Okung will be able to play.
"I don't think that's possible," Carroll said, via Terry Blount of ESPN.com. "We'll wait and see. There are some options that we'll deal with to try to figure it out. We need to wait and see. It's a spectrum of options."
On Sunday night, left guard Paul McQuistan slid to left tackle, and James Carpenter stepped in at guard. The Seahawks have two rookie tackles who were inactive on Sunday night against the 49ers.

Installing Skype on Ubuntu 9.04
Since I have a Skype account and a new install of Ubuntu 9.04 I thought it would make sense to get Skype going.
In order to install Skype, it is not in the repository, you must go to the Skype web site. Quite frankly, I am not sure they give a rip about Linux users as the state of their programs for install is way behind. But you can get it to work.
Download Old Programs
You will need to download the programs that are out of date for Ubuntu.
Right Click on the Package
Open with GDebi package Installer, you will see the option with a right click.
This will open the Package Installer. Just click install.
While it is installing check your audio, headset what ever you are going to use so that you know they work. In the upper right hand corner of the Desktop you will see the audio icon, be sure to test and verify you can hear sound.
The Package Installer will install the necessary 20 programs to get Skype going. You will need access to the root account to install.
Edit Sound Devices. At the least you must edit the sound devices for Skype.
I found Skype a little tricky with my audio on the laptop. I am using a Logitech USB headphone but for some reason the audio initially only came from the laptop speakers. I fixed it with these settings which tested and worked fine.
Do your self a favor a set up a few security settings. If you want to add some security only allow calls from people that you have specifically allowed.

Well, I managed to get skype and I can get even a call but every time I sign in I have to go to TERMINAL and "kill" each time several SKYPE accounts that for some reason pop in whenever I sign in or dial a number. Nobody seems to know what to do with this annoyance.
July 18, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I am using Ubuntu 9.04 also and when I downloaded the older version skype off the link…I opened the file and it said error Wrong Architecture. i386
How can I fix that?
July 18, 2009 at 5:16 pm
If you have ubuntu 9.04 and 64 bit and you cannot install skype at all go to http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu-amd64
When you download that just open with Gdeb and press install package and you are all set
July 23, 2009 at 9:44 am
When I try it, it says:
blah blah blah
Unable to copy the user's xauthorisation file
WTF please help me
July 23, 2009 at 3:53 pm
To Install in Ubuntu 9.04 X64 do this:
1) Download the bin from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ -> Ubuntu 7.04-8.04
2) Install it with dpkg -i –force-architecture skype-debian_18.104.22.168-1_i386.deb
2.1) Look that the skype-debian_184.108.40.206-1_i386.deb is the package that I downloaded from that url….
3) That's it …
July 27, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Ya so I have sound problems too. So far I have found out that the best solution to this problem is….THEY NEED TO MAKE A VERSION FOR UBUNTU 9.04. 🙂
August 6, 2009 at 11:36 am

August 30, 2009 at 11:35 am
I tried installing Skype after installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Mini 9 netbook. The microphone did not work. I looked at the other blogs and other people have the same problem. None of the solutions worked. I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04 and skype three times trying different settings. I finally gave up and reinstalled the Dell factory Ubuntu DVD.
September 19, 2009 at 1:37 am
I had Problem with getting the mic to work in skype beta 184.108.40.206 and i just followed the instruction on this ubuntu help page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype) for skype and it worked.
I just did this step and skype found my usb mic from my logitech camara. I think the whole issue is the Pulseaudio driver is causing all the issue with it. Maybe you donot even have have Esound installed but i installed anyway after i did that it worked.. Made the test call and had no problems with it.
killall pulseaudio
sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio
sudo aptitude install esound
sudo aptitude remove /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
September 24, 2009 at 3:39 pm

February 2, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Thanks for the wonderful article.
FOr others who've been having problems configuring:
Please try to change your audio device in the sound settings. To check if your microphone has been configured properly, use the sound recording program to test the microphone. If that works, then skype would automatically work 🙂
Btw, please kill all the processes related to pulseaudio and this would work
February 13, 2010 at 12:26 pm
I followed the step above and I have Ubuntu 9.1 and it doesn't even let me click download.
This comes up:

During a Thursday bail hearing held in Dublin, supervisory special agent Brooke Donahue told the Irish court that Freedom Hosting hosted more than 100 child porn Tor sites which sported "thousands of members" who had collectively posted "millions of images" involving the abuse of children, reported Ireland's Independent.
Donahue described Marques as being "the largest facilitator of child porn on the planet" and the sole administrator behind the Freedom Hosting service. Donahue also told the court that the bureau found that Marques had visited some of the Freedom Hosting sites that were distributing child pornography, and that before his arrest, Marques appeared to be researching ways of relocating both himself and his servers to Russia, in an apparent attempt to avoid extradition. Marques ultimately was denied bail.
[ How secure are the new iPhones? Read Apple Hackers Rate iPhone 5s Security. ]
Freedom Hosting, which is unaffiliated with the Tor Project, offered Tor hidden service sites. Denoted by an ".onion" domain name, these sites can be reached only via the Tor anonymizing network, and their true geographic location and hosting details are obscured via multiple layers of routing. But at some point in July, Donahue told the Irish court, the FBI seized control of the Freedom Hosting servers, which were being hosted by an unnamed French service provider. The FBI said that Marques had paid for the hosting, using an account at a Las Vegas bank, and that after the FBI took over the servers, Marques managed to reset their access passwords and temporarily regain control.
Marques still faces the prospect of extradition based on charges -- still under seal -- which were filed in July in federal court in Maryland, which is where the FBI's child-exploitation task force is based, reported Wired.
The FBI had already been identified as the likely culprit behind the July hack of the Freedom Hosting site, which was used to make the site serve malware that targeted users of the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB), which is a version of Firefox customized to use the anonymizing Tor network. The relatively benign malware appeared to transmit -- via HTTP -- the unique MAC address of the infected PC, as well as its Windows hostname, reported Wired. That would have allowed authorities to identify the IP address of the PC and unmask individual Tor users.
All versions of the TBB that have been updated since June 26 are patched against the flaw, apparently exploited by the FBI.

Roger Goodell says the NFL is ready for another Ice Bowl.
A year from now, when the Super Bowl is played in New Jersey, it will mark the first time that the game has been played outdoors in a cold climate. But Goodell said at a New York City press conference today that bad weather won't be a problem.
"We're going to embrace the weather, embrace New York and New Jersey," Goodell said, via the New York Daily News. "We are also prepared for all alternatives, and that includes the weather, and the potential for snow and ice."
The NFL was faced with a string of logistical problems when an ice storm shut down roads in Dallas during Super Bowl week two years ago, although the game itself was played indoors. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said his city will be well prepared for the weather during all the pre-Super Bowl activities, and he endorsed football being played in the elements.
"That's football, it's meant to be played outdoors," Bloomberg said.
Vince Lombardi would agree. But as much as Goodell is saying he'll embrace the snow and ice, he's probably hoping that New York has a warm spell a year from now.

Republican senators criticize Joseph McCarthy
Senate Republicans level criticism at fellow Republican Joseph McCarthy and take action to limit his power. The criticism and actions were indications that McCarthy's glory days as the most famous investigator of communist activity in the United States were coming to an end.
A Republican senator from Wisconsin, McCarthy had risen to fame in early 1950 when he stated in a speech that there were over 200 known communists operating in the U.S. Department of State. Various other charges and accusations issued forth from McCarthy in the months and years that followed. Although he was notably unsuccessful in discovering communists at work in the United States, his wild charges and sensational Senate investigations grabbed headlines and his name became one of the most famous in America.
Republicans at first embraced McCarthy and his devastating attacks on the Democratic administration of President Harry S. Truman. However, when McCarthy kept up with his charges about communists in the government after the election of Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952, the party turned against him. Eisenhower himself was particularly disturbed by McCarthy's accusations about communists in the U.S. Army. On March 9, 1954, Republican Senator Ralph Flanders (Vermont) verbally blasted McCarthy, charging that he was a "one-man party" intent on "doing his best to shatter that party whose label he wears." Flanders sarcastically declared, "The junior Senator from Wisconsin interests us all, no doubt about that, but also he puzzles some of us. To what party does he belong? Is he a hidden satellite of the Democratic Party, to which he is furnishing so much material for quiet mirth?" In addition to Flanders' speech, Senate Republicans acted to limit McCarthy's ability to conduct hearings and to derail his investigation of the U.S. Army.
McCarthy's days as a political force were indeed numbered. During his televised hearings into the U.S. Army later in 1954, the American people got their first look at how McCarthy bullied witnesses and ignored procedure to suit his purposes. By late 1954, the Senate censured him, but he remained in office until his death in 1957. His legacy was immense: during his years in the spotlight, he destroyed careers, created a good deal of hysteria, and helped spread fear of political debate and dissent in the United States.

Senate Panel Rejects Repeal of Alienation Suits
PIERRE - A South Dakota Senate committee has recommended that the state keep a law that allows people to file lawsuits seeking financial damages from those who allegedly seduce and steal their spouses.
The Judiciary Committee voted 4-3 to kill a measure that would repeal the law. But the measure's main sponsor, Sen. Stan Adelstein of Rapid City, says he might ask the full Senate to override the committee and debate the bill.
Adelstein says South Dakota should get rid of alienation of affection lawsuits because the law mistakenly treats a spouse as property with a monetary value. He says alienation of affection lawsuits particularly hurt the children of those involved in the legal dispute.
But opponents say the law protects marriages by deterring people from trying to seduce married people.

What You Should Know Before You Get A Tattoo Or Piercing
Before getting a tattoo or a body piercing find out what all the risks are and how to get rid of the tattoo or body piercing if you no longer want it.
A tattoo may only take a few minutes to get but it can last a lifetime. Tattoos are permanent. They are designs put on your skin with pigments injected into the top layer of your skin with needles.
Here is how tattoos are created: A needle is connected to an apparatus with tubes which contain dye. These needles pierce the skin multiple times kind of like a sewing machine but on your skin. The needle inserts tiny drops of ink creating the tattoo. Tattoos can hurt and a large tattoo can take up to several hours to create. The tattoo may even bleed
What are the downsides of getting a tattoo?
Read moreWhat You Should Know Before You Get A Tattoo Or Piercing
The Risks Associated With Getting A Tattoo
While many tattoos are given with success, there are some that do not have such a happy outcome. There are risks of getting a tattoo that cannot be discounted. Among them, the risk of contracting a disease from unsanitary equipment. In addition, a tattoo recipient may be subject to a skin infection if the tattoo is not properly cleaned and cared for after it's creation.
Any type of problems that may arise as a result of getting a tattoo will likely have to be handled with the help of a licensed physician. This may include medication to treat any illness or infection that may occur. In addition to the immediate concerns, there may be a later need for a physician if the tattoo recipient should later decide to have it removed. In this scenario, the only way to remove a tattoo is through surgery.
