Something's shifted. Maybe it's just that I've shifted. My life has become almost unrecognizable compared to a year ago, so I wouldn't rule this possibility out just yet. But even so, I'm inclined to think that the landscape and function of librarians' blogs is in the process of a transformation.
Two years ago, I mentioned that participating in the biblioblogosphere was like attending a conference every day. A year ago, a good portion of my evenings were spent reading, thinking about, and responding to other librarians' blogs. This was what kept me feeling connected to the larger world of librarianship. This was what made me feel useful beyond my own patron community. And this was a major source of contact with librarians whom I had come to regard as friends.
But lately, I wake up to find that my RSS aggregator has very few new posts from this once-prolific core of librarian bloggers, and I certainly haven't been contributing to anyone's aggregator overload recently. Not by a long stretch.
In my darker moments, I worry that we're a little bit burned out, or that we've given up trying to change the world by weighing in on issues large and small. But while there may be some of this at work, I think it has more to do with a shift in communication patterns. Two years ago, blogs provided a venue for people's carefully thought-out ideas as well as for their off-the-cuff thoughts, gut reactions, and general banter. In this way, they were like the sessions and the between- and after-session banter at a conference. Today I think that blogs have begun to take on the more focused character of the actual sessions at a conference while places like Twitter and FriendFeed have become the venue for the between-and after-session banter. We pass each other in the micro-blogging hallway, have conversations about everything from OCLC's latest craziness to weekend entertainment plans, shout hello to other passers-by, and show each other our pictures or the latest new gaget we're playing with. Then, when we have something more formal to say, we take the time to sit down and compose a blog post to present to our peers.
Then again, maybe this is just a very long justification for the decline and fall of a small portion of the librarian blogosphere.

The orders come from Dutch utilities Delta NV and Eneco, as well as developers Winvast and Scheldewind BV. The 29 N100/2500s will be installed from April 2013.
As part of the deal, Nordex will build a service station to manage the turbines. A 15-year maintenance contract has also been included in the deal.
Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, chief customer officer at Nordex said: "This project is a good example of how wind power capacity can be raised without any appreciable increase in the number of turbines. This is a guiding model for other developed European markets to follow and offers great potential for the future."
Previously, Kreekraksluis used 26 NedWind 500kW machines, which were installed in 1995. The project used to be wholly-owned by Delta. It was last in the news in 2006 when a blade tip hit the tower after the turbine's main axle broke in fair weather.

Young Racers Club May 2008 - Aaron Morrow
Dedicated To Supporting Youth In Racing
Click here for the Young Racers Club entry form and either mail it to Young Racers Club, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619 or submit via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include a picture of the car and a picture of yourself when sending the entry form. Pictures cannot be returned.
Aaron Morrow, Leesville, LAOften times we get family members entering their sons, daughters or siblings in the Young Racer's Club and such was the case this month. Keith Morrow from Leesville, La., entered his son, Aaron, in the club and low and behold Aaron is this month's winner!
Aaron Morrow turned 18 back in December of 2007 and currently races at Sabine Motor Speedway. His dad has been racing at the local tracks since 2001 and Aaron has been right with him at every race. So, the family bought him his own mini-stock back in 2002 (at the age of 13). While Aaron didn't win behind the wheel of that Datsun B210, he sure learned how to race and got a lot of respect from the local drivers as well.
Early in 2003, Dad let Aaron jump in his old Street Stock for two races in the Pure Stock class. Naturally, that was after the pair worked to make it legal for the class. Aaron notched Top 5s in both events.
Late in 2004, Aaron and his Dad got together the Camaro pictured to the right. The patriotic paint scheme was Aaron's idea to show his support to the troops overseas. The following two and a half years were rough with many local tracks struggling to stay open but the Morrows raced as much as they could.
Things got better in 2007 as Dad writes, "During the season he had finished in the Top 5 each time he raced, with four Second place finishes. Then, one night I got the call I was waiting for. His girlfriend was so hysterical I couldn't figure out if he won or got hurt until she finally told me he won."
Dad, Keith, continued saying, "Aaron's overall dream is to one day run in NASCAR, and I am going to try my best to help him get there, but for now he loves racing against me on the track and talking trash about it."
For the 2008 season, Aaron will be running ether a Street Stock Camaro or possibly a UMP Modified. Either way, we're sure that the $250 gift certificate from this month's Young Racer's Club sponsor, Sunoco, will help out getting those racecars on the track.

shawn.twing needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
This project is a redesign of an existing website - http://www.wildapple.com - and will require four layouts (home, secondary page, search results, and the primary search page). Final layouts will need to be in fully layered PSD or PNG files.
no tagline
Accepted File Formats:
PNG, PSD (fully layered)
Wild Apple has completed a long process of changing the functionality of its website - http://www.wildapple.com - and it's time to update the design as well.
There are four layouts we'll want to see - one for the home page (that can be slightly different than the rest of the site, as it is in the current version), a primary section page (for example: http://www.wildapple.com/artists/index.html), search results (current example here: http://www.wildapple.com/fineart/ca…rchByRoom=, and the search page (current version here: http://www.wildapple.com/fineart/catsearch.aspx)
Do not worry about functionality - all of that will be carried forward from the current site. What we want is to creat a new design for that functionality following the guidelines given below.
One other note about the layouts you'll be creating - do not include anything that's not on the current site for placement. For example: do not add a site search box - there is no site search - what you see on the current site is what you get. The only exception is an email signup - we will be adding that so feel free to include it in your layout(s).
First prize for this contest is $500 and we've set aside $100 for a runner up or two runners up if there are other compelling designs. Feedback will be provided frequently - at least every two days for the duration of the content.
Here's the formal project description:
Project Description Website Makeover
-This project is all about look and feel the structure and functionality remain the same.
-The site should feel human, not corporate.
-The site should be inviting.
-The site should be elegant and tasteful, but not formal
-Cleaner and less cluttered than now but not slick or ultra modern still inviting
-The site needs to make it obvious that this is an ART company, and should incorporate our artwork throughout.
-Need to be able to easily (automatically?) update and freshen artwork throughout the site
-Easy navigation you intuitively know where you are in the site and how to get where you want to go. Usability is IMPORTANT. Easy to understand primary, secondary, and tertiary navigation is a must.
-Could use movement in a gentle not annoying / distracting way
-The final layout will be XHTML/CSS standards compliant (no code necessary though for this contest)
-The preference is for the layout to fit in a standard 800 x 600 monitor, but if you can't execute the design you want we'll also look at 1024 x 768
-For all pages except for the home page, the logo should appear in the top left corner of each page
The home page can have a different layout than the rest of the site, but in general the website should look consistent throughout. There can be variations - one column, two columns, three columns - all within the same framework.
-Use HTML text whenever possible, especially on the navigation and page headers (instead of text rendered graphically which is invisible to search engines)
-Layouts should have a purpose. There should be a VERY good reason for every item in a layout (eye candy is not a good reason).

Unlike Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, we do have regrets regarding the wisdom of sponsoring the Baltimore Grand Prix and similar events ("Rawlings-Blake: No regrets on the Grand Prix," Sept. 16).
First, let's be clear. The Baltimore portrayed in "The Wire" is the clearest picture of what has been happening in this city for decades. It is a bitter pill to swallow.
We've lived in Baltimore for 45 years, almost half a century. During this period we have served over a million meals, distributed at least 650 tons of non-perishable food to our neighbors and seen the suffering continue unabated.
Our neighbors have been victimized by developers, mis-educated in an under-funded school system and left to fend for themselves because over half the ZIP code is without work. We are surrounded by "abandominiums," and if it weren't for the drug trade there literally would be no city economy at all.
Now that is something to regret.
Grand Prix races, a lavish new casino and more bread-and-circus acts only benefit those who already have more than they need to live a decent life.
We want a Baltimore where people have work, affordable housing, compassionate health care and schools that offer everyone a fair shot.
What we get is the spectacle of supercars spewing sickening fumes, damaging our eardrums and blinding our vision as they circle the Inner Harbor.
Oh yes, we have regrets. But telling the truth about what is going on in Baltimore is not regrettable.
Willa Bickham and Brendan Walsh, Baltimore

Price Got his Inner "Avenger On" Against his Nemesis
We all know the movie "The Avengers" is about to hit our television sets in commercials, product placements and even trading cards. But did you know you saw a secondary super hero who somehow missed "The Avengers" casting call, but is just as important and heroic to the Tampa Bay community.
Tampa Bay Rays starter David Price who like the Hulk and Ironman has been forever been imprinted in our minds and souls with his 2011 Rays miniature super hero figurine fame with his dog Astro, showed us all his own "fight the good fight" moment last night television screens in a Nationally televised ESPN Sunday Night Baseball contest against his own archenemy, The Texas Rangers. Sure it was not the classic "Good versus Evil", but it was a moment of redemption not only for Price, but for the Rays.
For this was the Lone Star nemesis who had assassinated the Rays Fall plans in both 2010 and 2011 by sweeping the Rays away from the post-season like a dust bunny en-route to their own American League titles. In that span, Price had never had a dominating moment against the red, white and blue hued Rangers, but last night he broke free, showed courage, determination and a nice stealthy selection of pitches to finally break through and thrust his hand skyward in victory.
Sure this might not make a 90 minute feature film, but I am truly glad Price got to show a National audience his performance as he finally got the better end against his arch-nemesis. Heading into this twilight contest, Price had taken the hill 10 times ( including 3 post season starts) against this Rangers foe and had come out empty with a 0-3 mark and an uncharacteristic 5.67 ERA during the regular season. Further complicating the matter for Price was the fact he was 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA in his previous 3 starts in Arlington.
To say last night rose up against his fears and demons would seem, well cinematic, but absolutely true. I mean it had all the makings of a classic hero versus villain make-up as this Rangers squad was one of only 2 Major League baseball franchises in the American League Price had never scored a win against in his career (Seattle is the other, but Price has never started against them). Price definitely had his back to the wall as the Rays hoped to bring home a 2-1 advantage and series win with a victory, plus help Price demolish another obstacle in his pitching path.
Coming into this contest, 2/3rd of the Ranger line-up (6 hitters) had career batting averages of over .250 against Price. To show the precision and complete domination of Price over even these 6 arch-enemies, they went a combined 2-for-19 last night against Price with only Nelson Cruz, who entered the game as Price's kyptonite sporting a career .574 average getting the 2 hits among the gang of 6.
Total Price dominance would be an understatement, but Price finally finding his groove against his ex-foe and taking them down in this style was simply a made for TV moment. Can't wait for the second installment of this season's series, possibly when the Rays return to Texas for another 3-game weekday series August 27-29. Who knows, maybe Price has figured out his nemesis, guess we have to stay tuned and wait until the end of August for this unfolding plot line to be revealed.

WYSIWYG editor
You may be looking for the rich-text editor, VisualEditor. See VisualEditor:Test to try it.
This article is outdated.
Regular Wiki markup is a simple way of formatting a wiki page but many would-be users of MediaWiki are put off by any coding of any sort. These users are used to publishing and editing in a more visually straightforward WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment.

WYSIWYG and MediaWiki software
- For a list of existing extensions providing some degree of WYSIWYG support, see Category:WYSIWYG extensions.
In 2009, there was no available 'ready-to-go' package for incorporating full WYSIWYG into the MediaWiki software.
The problem is that any WYSIWYG editor would have to know wikitext grammar, and no full grammar for wikitext exists — the "parser" doesn't parse, it's a twisty series of regular expressions. So present WYSIWYG editors either have to perform one of the following:
- Reverse-engineer as much grammar as they can
- Forget wikitext and just write HTML.
A proper grammar is not sufficient for a proper WYSIWYM editor, as opposed to WYSIAYG (what you see is all you get), but it is necessary. A proper grammar is a highly-desired thing for many other purposes as well, and present efforts are at "promising vapourware" status. See Markup spec.
As noted hereinbefore, HTML TEXTAREAS could be a fallback for older browsers or those that prefer this for fine control. The WYSIWYG editor could also be limited to reflect only existing wiki markup, with its democratically decided simplicities and compromises for complexities — adding nothing to the wiki markup, only providing a more visually straightforward means of changing the markup....
There are a few options for making a WYSIWYG editor that works in the browser.
- Pure DHTML/JavaScript. Capture mouse input, buttons, keystrokes, etc., and actually edit the HTML of the current document. It's not trivial, but possible.
- Create a custom browser plug-in, Java applet, ActiveX control. This would probably be workable, but would take quite a bit of hackery, and may or may not work. Requiring users to install any sort of plugin is very undesirable.
- Users using text based browsers don't matter for WYSIWIG. They are going to be happier editing in Creole --Kevin Holzer (see hlzr.net for contact) 12:38, g29 December 2010 (PST)
- Both Mozilla and Internet Explorer have included ways to make sections of a page editable. IE 5.5 had the MSHTML Editing Platform (archive.org), and Mozilla has its Rich Text Editing API. Both technologies allow Web developers to make parts of a page editable -- in slightly different ways, of course.
Most current in-browser WYSIWYG editors use the third option.
Proof of concept: WYSIWYG editors
Maintained by Ontoprise's halo team, this is a production quality integration of MediaWiki and CKEditor.
Extension:TinyMCE (successor to the now-unmaintained, Extension:TinyMCE MW) lets users edit wiki pages using the popular open source JavaScript-based WYSIWYG editor TinyMCE.
Mozile takes a different approach to editing, using DOM operations instead of the designMode features which most other editors rely on. It also supports structured editing based on RelaxNG. A MediaWiki editing demo is available which makes use of the html2wiki.xsl tool mentioned below.
Oracle Wiki Publisher for OpenOffice
Runs in the open source, free office suite OpenOffice versions 3 and higher. OpenOffice runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and is an alternative to the Microsoft Office Suite. The Oracle Wiki Publisher extension currently allows one to edit and export wiki pages after editing them like any other document in OpenOffice. Like most of these editors, it produces some ugly syntax though.
This extension is no longer maintained.
MeanEditor is a little WYSIWYM editor based on WYMeditor. It targets inexperienced users, and allows them to easily make good contributions. It does not implement the full Mediawiki language, but only the simple subset non-technical people should use. If a page contains esoteric markup, MeanEditor warns the user and disables itself (at the very least, a visual editor should not create additional work for administrators).
We designed MeanEditor with existing wikis (namely, Wikipedia) in mind. Therefore, we have focused on leaving clean diffs and encouraging semantic use of markup (that's the M = mean: no change text size command, but a this is a heading command, and so on). We hope the existing communities will find MeanEditor a good tool they can trust, rather than find annoying.
If no advanced features are needed, MeanEditor is a good choice even for a single-editor wiki. See the MeanEditor page for more information on the intended use, the detailed feature list and installation instructions.
FCKeditor (now CKEditor)
This extension is no longer maintained.
The FCKeditor team has started a project called MediaWiki+FCKeditor. It contains a very strict integration which works with Wikitext as input and output. The latest implementation extension is at Extension:FCKeditor (Official).
An older experimental implementation of FCKeditor into MediaWiki 1.7.1 is described here which converts your input into HTML. A version based on 1.5.3 can be downloaded from here. Another older implementation using HTML::WikiConverter is described at FCKeditor and HTML::WikiConverter.
A custom version of MediaWiki+FCKeditor is being beta-tested on some wikis at Wikia. For info see the Wikia help page, Help:New editor. See Help talk:New editor for the latest updates.
It's a little more work to get MediaWiki with FCKeditor WYSIWYG to upload images. I have some notes here, sorry they're not perfect notes. I also updated some Wiki with details about this somewhere, but can't find out where. If you need to update documents you're in trouble, but it's pretty easy to upload images with FCKeditor.
Wikiwyg extension apparently can be used as a MediaWiki extension or with GreaseMonkey. Seems to require a Mozilla-based browser.
Wikia and SocialText launched a joint project in August 2006 to integrate Wikiwyg into MediaWiki. Some of the JavaScript code for the integration is in the Wikiwyg Subversion repository.
- http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/wikiwyg/ -- latest code for MediaWiki integration
No longer maintained.
While not providing true WYSIWYG (editing is done directly to wikitext), Wikizzle includes AJAX WYSIWYM editing features similar in purpose to WYSIWYG such as real-time rendering of the article. Runs in Mozilla.

Other wiki engines / services that have WYSIWYG
- http://dev.orf.at, after applying wysiwyg for years, they switched to simple wiki with immediate display: WYSIWYM, see a video here (in German), and a very untechnical description of the syntax here. http://orf.at, http://sport.orf.at, and the mobile versions http://orf.at/l are produced like this.
Internal links and images
Epoz 0.74 features a great tool box to insert internal links and images. It's based on a search box, images are displayed with thumbnails and can be inserted with a single click. Inserting different image sizes is easy to do by customizing the tool box template. More documentation and screenshots (in german)
HTML to wiki markup
Leveraging the power of existing html editing/spell checking tools makes it necessary to convert the produced HTML/XHTML to wiki markup.
If we manage to create a python or php script that converts simplified tidy output (xhtml) to wiki-code, this would be easy to do with epoz. Epoz 0.74 feeds the html through tidy on the server via xml-rpc when switching to source view and on save. This works great, it's Plone's standard editor — I used it to write the Squid document for example. Our conversion script can hook in after tidy, the source visible in 'source view' and submitted to the server would be wiki markup. All without reloading the surrounding page. Creating the conversion script is a challenge, but operating on tidy-cleaned xhtml should simplify matters. Epoz only allows structural markup (no font tags etc), so this is mainly a str_replace(). With the appropriate configuration tidy will strip the complex things first.
This setup combines the advantages of both worlds by providing two views switchable back and forth without reloading the page:
- WYSIWYG view: uses the default CSS and HTML editing
- SOURCE view: wiki source
- That's great! But I wonder again, why only server-side scripts? I believe that it would be better to do it on client-side and let the user to switch between the views dynamically. There is already very limited but working prototype for it. For further information - contact me. --Shtriter 07:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- XSLT can be used client-side by most modern browsers.
- The resulting wiki markup can be submitted as if it came from an HTML textarea.
- Much of the white space information is lost during parsing and the XSL transformation.
- The current MediaWiki parser does not provide enough information about templates and other generated content in an article's HTML.
Any HTML to wiki markup conversion tool will need more information about the generated content than the MediaWiki parser currently includes in the HTML which it generates. Otherwise it will have to interpret templates as normal content, for example, when they should be converted to the {{Template}} syntax. The most direct solution to this problem is to make the parser include more information. In large part this would simply require better use of the "class" attribute. Sometimes it would require adding elements to wrap the generated content.
Proposed changes to the parser:
- The <nowiki> tag should become
.
- Container
 elements for images should distinguish between the "thumb" class for thumbnails and the "frame" class for frames, even if the CSS for the two classes is the same. The containers for scaled images (those with their size property set) should be marked with a "scaled" class.
- Templates (but not nested templates) need to be marked as such in the HTML.
{{Template name}}
should become
 Template name Expanded template...
The "template-name" class can be marked as
display: none in CSS.
- References need to include their content at the reference point.
<ref>Reference content.</ref>
should become
 Reference content. Reference links and number...
The "reference-content" class can be marked as
display: none in CSS.
- Category links need to be included in the HTML.
[[Category:Category name]]
should become
Category name
The "category-link" class can be marked as
display: none in CSS.
The use of new elements with CSS
display: none is in the spirit of adding semantic structure. It would be possible to use comment tags instead, in order to provide better support for legacy browsers.
Possible problems
Things which need to be worked around include:
- One of the most important features of wiki is the links from one page to another page. The primitive HTML textarea system, after an editor has learned its cryptic markup, makes linking (relatively) quick and easy to edit. Most (all?) WYSIWYG editors make linking (relatively) slow and difficult to edit. Switching to an editor that makes common operations more difficult is a step backwards.
- An editor should support the user in getting a headline right instead of using a big font, marking a citation instead of italicizing text, and so on. Imho most wysiwyg-editors lures people away from thinking about the meaning, and this is wrong. -- ∂ 01:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Displaying differences between italics and emphasis, bold and strong emphasis. Italics and bold are only used for articles on typesetting. (Technically mathematical formulae should use <var> or <math> but probably people are using  as it is shorter.)
- Mediawiki originally interpreted double apostrophes as emphasis and triple apostrophes as strong, but this has been changed to italics and bold. We should probably get the developers to make up their minds before we start worrying about how a WYSIWYG editor implements it... — Omegatron 22:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Displaying formulae and potentially also music, maps, timelines, chess... allow editing?
- Perhaps MathML supporting browsers will be able to edit formulae
- There is ajax Math Preview. The source code was here (aluno.no-ip.info/juca/mw-AjaxMathPreview-idea.diff). For more info - google in Mediawiki-l maillist. --Shtriter 07:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Displaying templates and allowing editing and inclusion of templates
- What about protected templates in a non-protected page? (Other similar combinations...)
- I have an idea. It would show up as a square box with the template name inside, and upon double-clicking a new tab would open (between the text box and formatting buttons) and allow editing of that template. This is a bit like handling of OLE objects in Microsoft Office.
- I'm working over it on w:User:Pilaf/InstaView/Devel --Shtriter 07:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Allow easy input other tags such as
strikethrough, often used off the article namespace?
- Displaying category links, interlanguage links?
- Same as MW do? I'm working over it on w:User:Pilaf/InstaView/Devel --Shtriter 07:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Over-use of color, size, and other features. See MySpace.com profiles for examples of people with no design knowlege let loose.
- Any suggestions? Prohibit color editing? Or at list for not registered users? --Shtriter 07:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Seriously. As soon as we implement this the site will turn into Myspace if we don't limit what the interface can do. It should only be capable of the things that the standard toolbar is capable of. Users shouldn't be allowed to change fonts, colors or create big bold text for headers, for instance. If they want to do things like that for special cases, they should be forced to use the source code editor. — Omegatron 22:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Issues with users cutting and pasting from word processing software especially Microsoft Word. This results in non-compliant HTML and could be rendered incorrectly (if at all) from non microsoft platforms.
- We can have it strip anything except basic markup, but we'd have to incorporate a list in the software to indicate what "basic" means. — Omegatron 22:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Has anyone else noticed that the fckeditor extension is not usable with any version of PHP after 5.2.5? (running Wampserver 2.0)...
- I had no problem installing Extension:WYSIWYG on a local XAMPP server under Windows. The WYSIWYG editor works fine in Firefox 5. However, the corporate-installed IE7 blanked out pages that contained certain markup when using WYSIWYG. I didn't have time to figure out which cookie or security settings were needed to fix this. Workaround: If you are using WYSIWYG in IE7, add a step to select the contents of the text area and copy it into your clipboard before you save, just in case the page blanks out. If the page blanks out when you save, open the page for editing, paste the contents of your clipboard and save it again.

FORT MEADE, Md. -- The mountain of classified material U.S. Army soldier Bradley Manning gave to the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks revealed sensitive information about military operations and tactics, including code words and the name of at least one enemy target, according to evidence the government presented Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Manning has said he didn't believe the more than 700,000 battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and video clips he leaked while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad would hurt national security. Prosecutors want to convict him of aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence.
For the first time, prosecutors presented evidence that the disclosures compromised sensitive information in dozens of categories.
In one such statement, a classification expert, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Martin Nehring, said his review of leaked Afghanistan and Iraq battlefield reports revealed techniques for neutralizing improvised explosives, the name of an enemy target, the names of criminal suspects and troop movements.
The evidence also covered leaked material from the Army's investigation into a 2009 airstrike in Afghanistan's Farah province. The investigation concluded a bomb from a B-1 bomber killed 26 civilians, at least 78 Taliban fighters and five Afghan police officers. Local officials said the attack killed 140 villagers.
Manning has acknowledged sending WikiLeaks material from the Farah investigation, including several videos, although none were ever posted on the group's website.
On Tuesday, the defense elicited testimony that appeared to cripple government efforts to prove an espionage charge related to the Farah video. Manning has acknowledged sending the material to WikiLeaks sometime after late March 2010; the government alleges the transmission was in late November 2009. The disputed date became an issue before trial when prosecutors rejected Manning's offer to plead guilty to a reduced version of the charge, provided the date was changed
Army computer crimes investigator David Shaver testified on cross-examination the only evidence of Manning obtaining any video associated with Farah was downloaded April 17, 2010.
First Amendment lawyer James Goodale, author or "Fighting for the Press: The Inside Story of the Pentagon Papers and Other Battles," said a Manning conviction on any one of eight espionage counts or a federal computer fraud charge would enable the government to charge civilians, including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"In Assange's case relative to Manning, they can treat each of them as co-conspirators and prosecute them," Goodale said in an interview.
Prosecutors also presented a statement from Manning's aunt Debra Van Alstyne, who talked about her interview with Army investigators in June 2010, shortly after Manning's arrest.
She said one of them asked how Manning felt about the Army.
"I knew that Brad was proud of his job and of being in the Army," Van Alstyne said in her statement.
She said an investigator collected a digital camera data card Manning had sent her that was found to contain some of the leaked Iraq battlefield reports and video of an Apache helicopter attack WikiLeaks had posted in which civilians were killed.
She said Manning called her after his arrest and asked if she had watched the helicopter video. She said he told her the video would be "big news" and that it would make a "big splash" in America.
Prosecutors began the day by presenting evidence Manning used his work computer to access a classified 2008 Army counterintelligence report about the possibility that WikiLeaks posed a national security threat. The evidence indicated Manning first accessed the report Dec. 1, 2009, about three weeks after he started work in Baghdad.

You probably have heard about my knowledge and magic power. You can ask yourself: "Why Master Nascela can do it?". Firstly you have to understand that the power of magic is not only formulas created by any mage, even the strongest. Truly the power of magic is in the power of will – so just within me...
Magic rituals are used to activate and magnify the energy (and directing energy to the delineated target). Of course a proper time of day (or month) and moon phase is important to perform effective rite, but because I have the power to do it, i am the most important part of ritual. I know some rules to create magical methods which are stronger (or at least equally strong) than these you can read in old manuscripts.
Generations of ancient shamans and mages (my ancestors), thanks to nature watching, discovered basic magical rules which I can use now to help you achieving your dreams.
If You really need results, you can come to me or to another authentic mage. Thanks to connection with the high power and astral beings, I can efficiently help you to achieve your wishes.

Are we seeing the revitalization of Christian civilization?
While it appears that everywhere we look, the secular left celebrates another victory lap, what if it turns out that brewing beneath the surface, a renewed Christian age is rising?
In this thought-provoking book, Dr. Steve Turley argues that there is in fact two revolutions concurrently taking place: a demographic revolution and a political revolution, both of which suggest a significant conservative Christian resurgence. Drawing from scholarly studies and current events, Dr. Turley's study will inspire you to reject the naysayers predicting the twilight of the West, and instead embrace a hopeful vision of cultural renewal and the coming Christian majority.

(The other best approximation is the functor's right adjoint, if it exists. ) Note that a weak inverse itself, if it exists, must be a left adjoint, forming an adjoint equivalence.
A left adjoint to a forgetful functor is called a free functor; in general, left adjoints may be thought of as being defined freely, consisting of anything that an inverse might want, regardless of whether it works.
The concept generalises immediately to enriched categories and in 2-categories.
Given posets (or prosets) and and a monotone function , a left adjoint of is a monotone function such that
for all in and in .
Given locally small categories and and a functor , a left adjoint of is a functor with a natural isomorphism between the hom-set functors
Given -enriched categories and and a -enriched functor , a left adjoint of is a -enriched functor with a -enriched natural isomorphism between the hom-object functors
Given categories and and a functor , a left adjoint of is a functor with natural transformations
(where etc gives the composite in the forwards, anti-Leibniz order) satisfying certain triangle identities.
Given a 2-category , objects and of , and a morphism in , a left adjoint of is a morphism with -morphisms
satisfying the triangle identities.
Although it may not be immediately obvious, these definitions are all compatible.
Whenever is a left adjoint of , we have that is a right adjoint of .
left adjoints preserve epimorphisms.
See Galois connection for left adjoints of monotone functions.
See adjoint functor for left adjoints of functors.

Parents plan to cover 64% of their children's college costs, Fidelity's eighth annual College Savings Indicator Study found. Unfortunately, the report also found parents are on track to meet just 28% of their college savings goal.
Furthermore, most parents agreed that their children should shoulder some of the cost of their own education, but many haven't spoken with them about those expectations. Just 57% of parents with children 13 or older have talked to them about how to pay for school.
"Parents are taking a team approach to college funding, which is perhaps a more practical way to look at it, since it can be valuable for kids to have some 'skin in the game' when it comes to their education," Keith Bernhardt, vice president of college planning at Fidelity, said in a statement.
A third of parents are adding an advisor to their team, up from 21% when Fidelity first started surveying investors about college savings. Of those, the majority are looking for advice on how to pay for college, but 36% are also looking to their advisor to help determine how much of their children's college costs they should pay for.
"These findings indicate that even though families that use advisors may have the means to pay for a larger share of their children's college education, they still want their child to value that education by understanding and contributing to the cost," Matt Golden, vice president of college savings for Fidelity Financial Advisors Solutions, said in a statement.
Fidelity broke out the benefits advisors provide their clients regarding college savings. Less than half of parents without an advisor have a plan for reaching their college savings goal, compared with 82% of parents with an advisor. Less than a quarter of advisor-less parents are using dedicated education savings products like 529 plans, compared with 57% of those with an advisor.
Eleven percent of parents who work with a financial professional have actually had their advisor meet with their children to talk about college costs. Forty-three percent used advisor-provided resources to facilitate a conversation about costs.
A study by Allianz found many parents, especially single parents, are choosing to save for college over retirement, but Fidelity found saving for college was respondents' No. 2 priority this year. Although 70% or respondents said they were saving monthly, with a median contribution of $250, many are still off track, according to Fidelity.
The report identified several ways parents can increase savings. First, they need to formalize a plan. Fidelity found 52% of parents with a plan felt on track, compared with 16% of those without one.
Additionally, investing in a 529 plan can be helpful. Overwhelmingly, parents who invest in a dedicated college savings plan said it helped them save and stay on track (93%). Respondents said a dedicated product was helpful in keeping college savings and short-term goals separate.
Parents might have to get creative, too. One suggestion from Fidelity was to look for rewards credit cards either connected to a 529 plan or that earn cash back that can be set aside for college. The report found 24% of respondents are already doing this.
Or, the next time a family member asks what they should get their grandson or niece for their birthday, parents could suggest a contribution to a college fund. An earlier study by Fidelity found 90% of grandparents would likely do that instead of buying a gift.
Another way parents with young children can pad future college accounts is with the dollars they were putting toward day care or after-school care once their children age out of those programs. Fidelity found 56% of parents who are currently paying for some form of child care plan to redirect those funds to college accounts when the children are older.
Of course, parents' financial education is important, too. About half of respondents said they needed more education when it came to saving for school. How to invest savings (50%) and which accounts were best to save in (49%) where their biggest concerns, and 48% weren't sure where to go for advice.

JEFFREY EARNHARDT SET FOR ROLEX SERIES DEBUT, TO JOIN BARRETT, O'CONNELL IN ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA Ware Racing To Field Fuel Doctor Porsche GT3 With NASCAR Ties DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 8, 2010) - Ten years after his grandfather and uncle ...
Ware Racing To Field Fuel Doctor Porsche GT3 With NASCAR Ties
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 8, 2010) - Ten years after his grandfather and uncle scored a podium finish in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, fourth-generation driver Jeffrey Earnhardt will make his debut in America's premier sports car race.
Earnhardt, Stanton Barrett and Kevin O'Connell will be part of a NASCAR-flavored driver lineup in a Porsche fielded by Rick Ware Racing in the Jan. 29-30 event at Daytona International Speedway.
The race will mark the 10th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. co-driving in the Rolex 24, when they finished fourth overall and second in the GTS class in a Corvette. The 21-year-old son of NASCAR veteran Kerry Earnhardt, Jeffrey Earnhardt plans to drive for Rick Ware Racing in the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season.
Earnhardt finished fifth in the NASCAR K&N Series East in 2007 and has since run a progressive schedule. He has two starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and four in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. In the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, he has one pole position, nine top fives and 13 top 10s in 25 races.
The trio will be joined by two additional NASCAR drivers in the Fuel Doctor Porsche GT3. The car, raced by O'Connell in GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 competition, was unveiled at the recent SEMA show in Las Vegas.
Dave Mitchell, Vice President of Rick Ware Racing, said the team hopes to field a second car for the Rolex 24, to be driven by drivers with GRAND-AM backgrounds.
"Road racing is in Rick's roots," Mitchell said of the team owner. "He raced in the SCCA in the 1980s, and ran in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Watkins Glen and Infineon Raceway. The Rolex 24 has been on our team's radar screen the past few years. It's a race we've always wanted to do."
Ware has fielded cars in a number of NASCAR series, ranging from the national touring NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, to regional touring divisions including in the Whelen Modified Series and both the K&N East and West series.
Barrett also has family roots in the Rolex 24. His father, NASCAR veteran Stan Barrett, raced in the 1996 edition of the Rolex 24. His godfather, legendary actor Paul Newman, won the GTS-1 class and finished third overall in the 1995 event. Barrett has experience in NASCAR's three national series, in addition to racing one season in IndyCar. His best finish in 184 NASCAR Nationwide Series races was fifth at Atlanta in 1996.
O'Connell finished 10th in the GT class in the 2007 Rolex 24 At Daytona, driving the O'Connell Racing Porsche. He took four top 10 GT finishes in six races co-driving with Kevin Roush in 2008, including a fifth at the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen. He also competed in several NASCAR series, including a pair of races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

~ Kimberlee at The Spunky Diva
I found you through TCB...great idea! Perfect for all the fabric ribbon, wrapping ribbon, yarn, etc jammed in my cabinets. I suppose if you used ribbon enough you could screw the basket up on a wall for easy access, or if the basket was relatively shallow, inside a closet or cabinet door. Might work too hung in the garage for a roll of trash bags and a roll of twine to wrap the newspapers. Thanks for the excellent step-by-step guide...your blog is very helpful!ReplyDelete
What a great and easy idea! I've been trying to find an inexpensive way to organize my ribbon but this is way easier than anything I would have come up with :)ReplyDelete

Stump up another £40 from the Canon PowerShot A800 and you can get the PowerShot A3200 IS – IS standing for image stabilisation.
You get a lot more besides, including a 14.1 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, 720p HD video recording, better-looking slimmer metal case, 5x optical zoom and Advanced Scene Detection modes. The A3200 is an upgrade of the A3100 IS camera, which had 12.1 megapixels, 4 x optical zoom lacked HD video capability. So are these extra features worth the upgrade?

Hurricane Ingrid's outer rain bands were approaching the coast of Mexico Sunday evening, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
As of 5 p.m., Ingrid had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph as it moved west-northwest at 6 mph, about 110 miles east-northeast of Tampico, Mexico and about 120 miles southeast of La Pesca, Mexico, the NHC said.
A hurricane warning is in effect for Cabo Rojo to La Pesca and a hurricane watch is in effect for north of La Pesca to Bahia Algodones. A tropical storm warning is in effect for north of La Pesca to Rio San Fernando and south of Cabo Rojo to Tuxpan.
The NHC advises that hurricane preparations be made immediately in the hurricane warning area.
Ingrid is expected to turn west later Sunday or Monday and possibly strengthen before reaching the coast of Mexico, the NHC said.
The storm is expected to produce 10-15 inches of rain over a large part of eastern Mexico with isolated amounts around 25 inches possible. The rains could result in life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast near and to the immediate north of where the center of Ingrid makes landfall.
Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the warning area by early Monday with tropical storm conditions expected Sunday night, the NHC said. Weakening will begin once Ingrid moves over land.
