Ford has unleashed its latest take on the small car, the Ford B-Max, with a little help from Made in Chelsea star Cheska Hull at a preview event in London today.
The car is said by Ford to be stuffed to the gunnels with safety technology and gadgets of convenience, so much so that the B-Max will become the first motor vehicle ever to be officially launched at the Mobile World Congress trade show at the end of February.
So, what toys does that mean us tech-lovers get to be excited about? For starters, you get Sony's best in class audio system but the real star of the show is the one of a kind door system. With the idea of maximum access to the car, even in close quarter city parking situations, Ford has removed the central pillar that normally separates the back and front with the latter opening as usual and the former sliding parallel to the rear.
The idea is that you then get super-wide access to both the boot and the side of the car and even the seats fold down completely flat so you can squeeze in your flat pack furniture without having to go back and pay for delivery instead.
The big excitement for gadget fans, of course, is the inclusion of the MyFord Touch and SYNC technologies which hook your car up wirelessly with your mobile phone and bring instant access to your music, calls and texts all by voice control.
Director of Product Development Quality, Ford of Europe, Darren Palmer stated nothing official on the matter at the preview but did confirm that there would be an announcement about it at the Geneva Motor Show 2012, strongly hinting towards some positive news.
He told Pocket-lint: "Technology is something we stand for now at Ford. It's a main staple for us. Thirty-five per cent of our cars sold are done so with, and because of, our auto-park technology. The whole area is something our president is very keen on."
Under the hood of the Ford B-Max is a modest 1-litre Ecoboost engine that'll give you 57.6 mpg. So long as you remember to look after the thing, that should make the car one of the most efficient in its class.
It's available to buy later in 2012. Expect to hear more at MWC 2012 and at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Latin language used by the priests is specific for Banat and different from the Latin used in Germany or Italy. Sometimes the priest used incorrect terminations due their poor Latin knowledge.
The following spelling variations are common in Latin documents:
i and j used interchangeably [even if in Latin language do not exist the letter "j" !]
i and y used interchangeably [manly in terminations prior to 1800]
u and v used interchangeably
e used for ae
e used for oe
c used for qu
no. is an abbreviation used by us for numbers & numerals
Latin language has no special characters having diacritic marks [like Á, Ä, É, Ó, Ö, Ú, Ü, etc.]. So, all the words having such diacritic marks are probably in Hungarian language.

|Glenn Beck Attacks Social Justice - James Martin
Thanks, Stephen! This gets it about right. Somehow, I think were I to inform my bishop about any focus on social justice, he would be pleased. This is not to say that we don't need to clarify from time-to-time and that social justice is not a name we can apply to all political activity, which is why we look to our bishops to clarify and to lead. To try and be a little fair, it is true that not everything that flies under the flag of social justice is truly just. We need to be clear on what justice is because it informs not only the ends we strive to achieve, but the means we use to accomplish them.

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has made it clear that he's not particularly interested in who wins the team's quarterback competition because he's got his mind on other issues.
McCoy wants to step his game up another level in 2013 and move from being a good back to one that dominates games on a consistent basis.
"I want to be more of a student of the game, kind of knowing everybody's position. I think as far as the talent level, I got that, I've kind of mastered it," McCoy said. "I want to be more dominant. The last 2 years, I've had good years, but I don't think I was dominant."
The change in coaches to Chip Kelly should help McCoy get the chance to dominate. While Andy Reid often came under criticism for using McCoy less often than seemed appropriate given McCoy's talent, Kelly's offense is going to put the back front and center. If the offensive line is healthier and more effective than last year, and it's hard to imagine that won't be the case, McCoy is likely to put up some big numbers whether he's getting the ball from Michael Vick, Nick Foles or Kelly himself.

Gulfstream Ex-Im Bank Announcement
February 21, 2014
Gulfstream Event
Marion C. Blakey, President & CEO
February 21, 2014
Please allow me to tie a ribbon around the tremendous sales package we've heard about today. As a spokesman for our industry, it's a pleasure to salute a great American company that excels at creating new export markets and job opportunities here at home.
This impressive deal, on top of Gulfstream's recent speed records with the G650 and G280 represent the continuing excellence that personifies our industry at its best.
I might add I'm no stranger to the worldwide scope of your activities. Last fall I toured Gulfstream Beijing's Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility at the Beijing Capitol International Airport. It's top-notch, part of a linked chain of business relationships that enable American workers here in Savannah and throughout Gulfstream's supply chain to benefit from the burgeoning growth of China's aviation system.
But as we well know, in today's competitive international marketplace, U.S. manufacturers need a level playing field to succeed in penetrating emerging markets. With more than 59 foreign export credit agencies supporting their nation's firms, it's imperative that U.S. companies have ready access to credit and are able to compete fairly on a global scale.
As AIA has said loudly and often, the Ex-Im Bank is an essential partner for America's job creating manufacturers, and for the many supply chain companies that support them. I'm gratified that under Chairman Hochberg's leadership, the Bank has made such a strong commitment to supporting not only general aviation, but also space systems and commercial aviation. And lest we forget, the export credits that made this and other sales possible come at no cost to the taxpayer – actually returning more than $1.1 billion last year to the Treasury.
Obviously, these have been challenging times for our industry. The recession and reduced federal budgets for defense, space and civil aviation have resulted in significant job losses, especially among small and medium sized companies. Yet we've forged ahead, working hard to keep our industrial base strong by seizing market growth opportunities in places like China. When you realize that China could account for 20 percent of all business jet deliveries by decade's end, up from about seven percent now, the importance of today's announcement is clear.
Companies like Gulfstream have identified a promising path for our industry. And with the continued support of the Ex-Im Bank, the future looks bright. American aerospace companies can continue exporting the world's best aviation products and delivering the largest manufacturing surplus of any American business sector.
With that said, thank you very much for the opportunity to be a part of this very noteworthy announcement.

Leon Hadar writes:
Americans are once again surprised to learn that the rest of humanity doesn't always share their hopes and dreams — or even their basic set of values. Hence, in the aftermath of the massacre in Afghanistan of 16 people in the hands of an American soldier, some pundits have been trying to resolve what they consider to be a paradox of sorts.
While the accidental burning of Qurans by U.S. government employees in Afghanistan last month triggered violent protests outside NATO that took at least 29 lives, the intentional mass murder of Afghan civilians, including nine children in Kandahar on March 11, have led to a few mostly peaceful anti-American demonstrations.
That most Afghans seemed to have supported the February 2006 decision by a judge to execute an Afghan aid worker for converting to Christianity or that many Pakistanis refused to condemn the assassination of leading politician Salman Taseer by his own security guard who disagreed with Mr Taseer's opposition to Pakistan's blasphemy law, are two other examples of incidents that have dramatised the wide gap between what we tend to regard as the American secular tradition and the continuing powerful role that religion tends to play in the lives of Afghans, Pakistanis and other people who, on paper at least, are considered to be America's allies in the war against terrorism.
Indeed, it is difficult for Americans to understand that the so-called Enlightenment Project of the 18th Century — with its rejection of the received truth of religion and faith, of church and traditional authorities and its emphasis on individual rights and the liberating power of reason — which sparked a major philosophical and political revolution in the West and provided the ideological foundations for the establishment of the United States — has never become a unified and universal undertaking.
In fact, the growing power of the theocratic political right in the Republican Party, represented by presidential candidate Rick Santorum and his supporters among Christian Evangelists, conservative Catholics, and ultra-Orthodox Jews — who have expressed strong opposition to abortion, homosexual relations and even contraception — is a sign that even in the American Republic that enshrined the separation of religion and state in its Constitution, religious faith and traditions continue to play a major role in public life.
At best, even in the U.S., in the Anglosphere and in much of Europe, the Enlightenment Project and the philosophical traditions, political movements and social and economic systems it sparked (secularism, liberalism, democracy, capitalism, socialism) has been a work in progress, adapted in different ways by different national and cultural traditions.
Hence, advancing women's rights, religious freedom, racial equality, political rights, and free markets has certainly not been uniform process in the West. For example, Catholic nations like Italy and Ireland had banned abortion and divorce and blacks suffered discrimination in the United States until the 1960s.
And the American version of democracy and capitalism have not been cloned in the rest of the West, including in Canada which, with its government-controlled health care program and European-like parliamentary system, is probably regarded as "socialist" by the leading Republican presidential candidates; while Canadians and west Europeans believe that the continuing American practice of executing convicts is not very, well, enlightened.
At the same tine, non-Western nations such as Japan, China or India have embraced some elements of the Enlightenment Project that seem to respond to their history and traditions as well as their current needs — while rejecting others. Call it Enlightenment a la carte.
Yet since the end of the Cold War, members of the American political and intellectual elites have been operating under the illusion that the rest of the world should and wants to be like them.
Promoting the free-market economic model aka Washington Consensus in the emerging markets; celebrating the so-called Color Revolutions in Ukraine and other parts of the former Soviet empire; and pressing the Freedom Agenda based on liberal-democratic values in Afghanistan, Iraq and the entire Middle East were all part of an American-led ideological crusade that seemed to recall in its ferocity — including through the use of military power — the global revolutionary campaigns launched by the Soviet Union not so long ago.
But the fact is that many non-Western societies are either not ready or are not interested — or both — in being "like us." The notion that Afghanistan — a society where the family, the tribe, and religion dominate the lives of most individuals, recalling Europe on the eve of modern age — was going to transform itself into a Western nation thanks to American assistance and guidance helped create the high expectations that were never going to be fulfilled.
Moreover, Americans have deluded themselves into thinking that if non-Western nations adopt some of the instruments that were employed in the West as part of the process of democratisation and liberalisation — for example, free elections in Iraq and free markets in China — they are signalling their intentions to embrace the Enlightenment Project and become, indeed, exactly like us. But democracy and free elections in Iraq was seen by Iraqis as a means to empower the majority religious sect (Shi'ite) and dispossess the ruling minority group (Sunnis), a process that would be mirror imaged in Syria if and when free elections there would allow the majority Sunnis to come into power and repress the minority Alawaites who run the country now.
And, if anything, much of the celebrated Arab Spring in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East is strengthening political Islamist groups whose commitment to respect the rights of women and religious minorities is questionable.
Similarly, pursuing the capitalist road to creating wealth and strengthening the economic base of the country is not a reflection of the commitment on the part of political elites in East Asia and elsewhere to the ideals of Adam Smith. It is, in many cases, part of a national economic strategy that helps China and other countries to compete more effectively with the US.
It is true that free markets and free elections can help create the foundations of a middle class whose members challenge the old ruling elites. But as events in Russia demonstrate, that process can be slow and uneven, or like in the case of Turkey, it could even set back secularisation and other forms of Western-style liberalization.
Americans are free to celebrate, cherish and preserve their values of democracy and liberalism that have helped attract millions of immigrants to their country and make their nation economically prosperous and politically stable.
But they should recognize that the most effective way to spread their ideals worldwide is not by forcing them on other nations, but by perfecting their own political and economic model and making it more attractive to other nations.

ttyson30 necessitava di un nuovo design di pagina web con programmazione e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 9 design presentati da 4 designer.
We envision this site to be a "nicer looking" craiglist and targeted for the state of Florida.
see sample
Desired Color Scheme:
web 2.0, tropical, lighter colors, clean
Desired Style:
web 2.0
Accepted File Formats:
whatever is normal on a coded template and so that we can edit pages
This contest would consist of designing a coded website so that we, as untalented normal people, can edit and add pages to the site as needed. At a minimum, we would need a homepage, a category page "ie, florida church listings", a city portal page "ie, jacksonville florida listings", business directory listing ability...and, the ability for consumers to list their products for sale.
We have enclosed a sample home page to get some idea going and a logo as well.
The site would need to be editable by us in WYSIWYG as we will be adding new cities and new categories on an ongoing basis. We would need to be able to edit the text and meta/title tages as well as put our own hyperlinks in.
THE HOME PAGE: should give the searcher the ability to post a listing for sale, search for items for sale, post a business directory listing...or, search the business directory... ideally, if they are searching for a product, they can "click" on the link for that product and go this page. When listing a product for sale, there would need to be some form of user id/sign up that allows them to post listings (we set the price)
THE CATEGORY PAGE: should be either items (for sale) or listings (as a business directory would have). There would need to be room to add banner ads on the side and future google adsense as well. We are looking for a page we can add as we grow into different listing categories.
THE CITY PAGE: should be similar to a city portal page. It would have the same categories as the home page, just the link would say "church listings" under the "jacksonville florida listings" page. Again, we hope to get one editable city portal page and we will edit the rest from this file.
The ability for consumers to list a product for sale, or a business to post a listing is very important.
 We envision our "business" directory listings to include business name (clickable link to their website), address, phone, description and small photograph of the business.
Please use your creativity as our homepage is just something we came up with...we like clean, web 2.0 design...
The winner would hopefully work with us as need to help finish out the site and would need to be available (for a fee, of course) for harder problems...
Thanks, and good luck!!!

While my Big Board offers a look at the top 25 overall prospects, these rankings allow you to get a better sense of depth at each position. Below are the top five seniors at each position as we get the 2012 season going, and I've also ranked the top five juniors (or draft-eligible sophomores) at each position. The senior class is obviously a bit lighter in overall talent after the departure of so many juniors to the NFL, but it's still loaded with high draft picks.
For prospects together, here is the latest 2013 NFL draft Big Board.

Tuesday's race for the 36th Congressional District seat vacated by Jane Harman will serve as an early test of the impact of PACs and Super PACs on the 2012 elections.
These independent political groups can raise unlimited money from unions, businesses and individual donors and spend it to support their chosen candidates—whether or not the campaigns like it. PACs played a critical role in the 2010 mid-terms.
What will their fallout be in 2012?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
(Will Steven Colbert's Super PAC tip the electoral scales?—just kidding.)
One so-called "rogue" PAC has already stirred up the 36th CD race, by launching a video depicting Democratic contender Janice Hahn as a stripper giving tax money to foul-mouthed, gang members.
Republican candidate Craig Huey disavowed the ad, but not before Hahn made an issue—and a fundraising tool—out of it.
The campaign to replace Democrat Harman will also provide both major parties a testing ground for potential national themes.
Jobs and the economy?
Hahn sees an active role for government in ending unemployment and talks of government support of jobs programs and economic initiatives which can help create "25,000 green jobs.
Huey argues that lowering taxes, cutting government spending and dumping burdensome regulations—getting government out of the economy—is the answer.
The deficit?
Hahn proposes removing troops from Afghanistan, as well as ending the Bush tax cuts and some corporate tax breaks, to save billions.
Huey has told reporters that he won't "vote to increase the debt limit without a corresponding decrease in government spending."
Ironically, redistricting will most likely determine the future of our local political production.
There's no guarantee that the 36th CD, as it looks today, will even exist once the boundaries are redrawn to reflect new census data. Its voter registration may be less friendly to Democrats.
Or it may be split among other districts and disappear before the 2012 elections.
In the end, not even the most successful out-of-town tryout can predict a winning run.
For more on the CD36 race, go here.

The Woodinville Winers visit Covington Cellars
- Written by Mike McClure and Terry Morse
his group refers to themselves as the "Woodinville Warehouse Wineries" and even has their own website (www.woodwarewine.com).
Covington Cellars can be accessed by turning onto 142nd Street from N. Woodinville Way and then looking for the winery A-board signs. Or better yet, download the map from the website as there are no signs from the main road.
The Warehouse Winery area is a wine tasting paradise. In reality, a serious wine taster could take several days in this area alone to go through all the tasting rooms.
Don't be fooled by the exterior appearance of a business park.
This area is full of tasting rooms and in many cases small production wineries. Each stop is a unique experience.
When we first pulled up to Covington Cellars, we could hear sounds of people having a great time with much laughter and conversation going on behind the warehouse doors.
As we walked into the building the paradigm was immediately transformed from being in a business park.
The owners have done an incredible job of transforming this space into a full production winery and event space.The tasting room was inviting with the tasting bar near the front door. As you look around you immediately notice that this is more than a tasting room. The entire facility takes up six warehouse bays and includes full wine production capability as well as a full commercial kitchen.
We were greeted by Cindy Lawson (Cindy and her husband David are the owners) who spent time with us telling us about the wines and history of Covington Cellars.
Because of Cindy's passion for food they have combined the two into this unique experience.
They offer several lunch type entrees (made daily by their in house chef Trinity) which can easily be paired with a variety of wines that are produced onsite.
They also do a winemakers dinner once a month as well as private events.
Cindy was a terrific host. You can see her passion for this winery and the food they serve.
She shared some great stories like how they actually started making wine in Covington in their garage. Their friends encouraged them enough to open their winery in Woodinville in 2005.
She said their biggest reward since opening this winery is all the friends they have made from all the visitors over the years. Cindy considers her customers to be an extension of her own family.
We tried several of the wines they were tasting that day.
Our favorites were the 2007 Prima Micela, the 2007 Reserve Syrah and the 2007 Cabernet.
All of these wines are made in small quantities by artisan winemakers, sometimes less than 100 cases.
Their wines range from $16-$48 in price.
The tasting room is open Fridays from 1–5 p.m., Saturdays from 12 noon – 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 – 5 p.m.
In addition, you can order wine by the glass and kitchen specials on Friday evenings from 5 – 9:30 p.m.
The winery has a Facebook page that posts the specials each week.

Water Main Break In NW DC Fixed after Flooding | News
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Crews worked feverishly overnight to repair a 20-inch water main that burst early Saturday morning.
Crews had to drill down to the gushing pipe that took several hours to shutdown on 17th and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest.
When they peeled back the road they found the pipe with a 5-6 foot hole.
George Hawkins, DC Water General Manager, "we haven't had many problems on this road and we wouldn't have expected it. But there's a large excavation directly adjacent to it."
They're looking at what caused the century old pipe -- installed in 1897 -- to break. DC Water General Manager George Hawkins says they haven't ruled out anything including, the pipe's age and nearby construction work.
This is also the same site where a construction worker had to be rescued, a week and a half ago.
Rescue crews carefully lifted him up from where he fell near blasting cords 50 feet down.
Hawkins says the vibration of large equipment and demolition here could have weakened the pipe.
"They've been doing excavation down in the ground. We have no reason to believe they caused the break, on the other hand they are 3-4 feet apart. The excavation hole is right next to where the break occurred."
There are 5 big construction machinery submerged including 3 excavators. WUSA9 was also told there are nearly 7 and a half million gallons of water in the construction pit. That's equivalent to nearly a dozen Olympic size pools!
DC Water says it could take a couple of days to pump all the water out. Crews are making sure they don't remove the water to quickly and compromise the construction walls.
As of 6 a.m. Sunday, a spokesperson said while the cause was undetermined, the pipe was fixed. Crews will monitor the situation but the roads are reopened. We're told work finished at midnight.
Nearby hotels, condos and businesses could be experiencing low water pressure or no water at all. DC Water hopes to get the water flowing by the end of the night.
There are no reports of injuries. There were reports of minor flooding at nearby businesses, including the Mayflower Hotel.

WWE Monday Night Raw
June 17, 2013 – Grand Rapids, MI
Ricardo Rodriguez and Alberto del Rio open the night to a very mixed reaction. The make their way down to the ring, and del Rio talks about doing everything for the WWE Universe, and them never showing him the respect he deserves as a World Champion. They chant "we want Ziggler" in response. Del Rio calls them all pigs and cowards and claims himself as the best because he has the title. He starts ranting about respect, and being the best in the world, and…out comes CM Punk to cut him off.
A massive ovation greets Punk as he makes his way down to the ring with Paul Heyman. Punk mentions that he held the WWE title for over 400 days, and del Rio just happens to be the guy who he beat for the championship. But that's not why he's out tonight; he's there because there can only be one "best in the world", and that man is CM Punk. ADR holds up the World title, and Punk lays down the challenge.
Paul Heyman cuts him off and says that his client doesn't fight for free. Punk asks him what he's doing, and says that Dolph Ziggler deserves a rematch. But since del Rio stole his title at Payback, and since Punk was stealing the whole show, he thinks they should have a World Heavyweight title match right here tonight. Vickie Guerrero comes out with Brad Maddox and says that the decision is hers to make. She books the two of them in a non-title match in tonight's main event.

The Washington Post reports that when he was head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Tim Geithner failed to communicate in key meeting with top regulators that Barclays, the British bank, had admitted to Fed staffers that it was rigging Libor — the benchmark interest rate. As a result, regulators at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Justice Department worked largely without the Fed's help to build a case against Barclays.
Geithner claims that he sounded the alarm about Libor four years ago and that the New York Fed did everything in its power to address the matter. He told Charlie Rose that "we moved quickly to address [the problem] and make sure we brought it to the attention of U.S. regulatory agencies." But, says the Post, documents released by the New York Fed show that the agency chose to focus on structural problems with Libor rather than help to bring corrupt actions at Barclay to light. And the governor of the Bank of England testified before parliament that at no stage did Geithner or anyone else at the New York Fed raise any concerns with the Bank that they had seen wrongdoing.
Moreover, even after being told that Barclays was rigging Libor, the Fed used it as a benchmark to determine how much insurance AIG would pay back to the government during the bailout. The measure also was used to set the interrest rate for an emergency lending program called the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility. As the chief watchdog of the financial system's $700 billion bailout says, that's tantmount to the Fed endorsing a rate it suspects is fraudulent.
What's a suitable punishment for failing to blow the whistle on Barclays' fraudulent conduct and then lying to Charlie Rose? Can we strip the New York Fed of one of its Directors and take away its vote on the Federal Open Market Committee for four years?
Do you remember when we were told that Tim Geithner was so uniquely qualified to be Secretary of Treasury that we needed to overlook the fact that he cheated on his taxes? It's a good thing Congress heeded this warning. Otherwise, we might have had 40 consecutive months of unemployment over 8 percent.

I am Chinese user, so forgive my English errors.
This is my first time to use LinuxMint Debian Edition.
I downloaded the LMDE-201204-mate-x86_64-DVD, written it into a USB stick by latest Universal USB installer in Windows 7. I entered the live-usb successfully without typing anything.
The first problem was how to install it into my hard driver. I clicked the icon of installer on the desktop. It gave me a information tip about authority and nothing happened. I searched the internet, finally I found the installation method. I had to hold Ctr+Alt+F1, went to tty1, typed root, then I could enter root account without typing password. I typed passwd root, gave a password to root account. Then I held Ctr+Alt+F7, went back to tty7 (the desktop), clicked the menu, found the terminal, typed su, typed the root password, typed /usr/bin/live-installer. OK, I started the installer, and completed the installation.
When I started my system, I like and use Cinnamon. I found 5 serious problems.
I. about root accout.
Remember: Do not give a password to root account. You can use the default root terminal, sudo or gksudo. Do not use su or gksu, because root have no password. If you gave a password to root, it will cause many problems even if you delete root password after a while. I encountered this problem and I had to reinstall the whole system. I wish LMDE developers can solve the problem, let us use root as Ubuntu.
II. Chinese input method:fcitx
fcitx is a very popular Chinses input method. I installed the 4.x version from synaptic. But it is not enough stable like Ubuntu in cinnamon. I installed it successfully first time. But when I reinstall the system, the fcitx had a problem making it useless. It could start with system, but it couldn't work when I typed Ctrl+space. I purged it and install another input method ibus, then I purged ibus and reinstall fcitx. fcitx worked well again.
III. Hybrid graphic card (double graphic card)
Many notebooks have double graphic card now, intel+amd or intel+nvidia. I have intel+nvidia notebook, so I tested it. Now, intel+nvidia notebook can't use nvidia card with nouveau driver, but notebook powers two of them, even only intel card works. We need turn off nvidia card for saving battery. Intel card is enough for routine jobs.
There are three methods by Bumblebee Project (https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu ... PM-methods). ACPI_call is old, sophisticated and not enough stable. The easiest method is vgaswitcheroo, even it doesn't support suspend and hibernate. It needs kernel with compiled vgaswitcheroo module. But I found LMDE's kernel without vgaswitcheroo. I wish the developers focus this problem, even it may be debian's problem.
The instead method is bbswitch. I need download it from https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch.
make load
sudo make -f Makefile.dkms
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo /sbin/rmmod nouveau
sudo modprobe bbswitch unload_state=0 load_state=1
sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFF
You can write the last 3 lines without sudo, and add a line "sleep 30" before them to /etc/rc.local before lines exit 0. This makes bbswitch work with system start.
IV. about notebook screen brightness
My notebook ASUS U36JC can remember brightness in Ubuntu 10.04. But it can't remember brightness in Ubuntu 12.04 and LMDE. I had to write the line below to /etc/rc.local before line exit 0.
echo x > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness
x is a number between 1~10. You can type this in a terminal, and find a suitable brightness number for you notebook. Then you write it for system boot.
V. about Cinnamon font
I wanna install some fonts for my system beauty. My LMDE's locale is zh_CN and LMDE's default font is ubuntu font. This is an English font, when the system need to show Chinese, it will use default Chinese font wenquanyi. But when I copied some Chinese fonts to ~/.fonts, the system used them right now, even I didn't change the default font Ubuntu in Cinnamon settings. I had to change font setting to default Chinese font wenquanyi by cinnamon settings, the gtk parts were correct, but cinnamon menu (left bottom of the desktop) was still the font in ~/.fonts. I don't know how to change it, so I have to delete all fonts in ~/.fonts.
I wish somebody tell me how to control my fonts, thanks.
These above are my summary about LMDE installation and using. I hope it useful for some new user and some advance user can share their experiences to me.

Re: Summary of my installation of LMDE 201204 x86-64
Thanks for this. I needed to do sudo tasks from a Live USB iso boot but sudo was asking for a password (linuxmint-201204-xfce-dvd-64bit.iso) So I did what you did, pretty much;
pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 (then I saw and typed as shown below)
Then I used su in the terminal emulator within XFCE for my needs. Sudo never worked.
pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 (then I saw and typed as shown below)
pressed CTRL+D twice to log out of those, then pressed CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to XFCE
Code: Select all
Linux Mint Xfce Edition mint tty1
mint login: mint
mint@mint~$ su
mint mint # passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Then I used su in the terminal emulator within XFCE for my needs. Sudo never worked.

The installer does not work for me either. Based on this thread (http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=189&t=99413) you should create the USB device with Unetbootin. I will give that a try.

Redwood Community Radio Board of Directors
27 August 2013, 4 pm
Healy Senior Center, 456 Briceland Road, Redway
I.Call to Order: Meeting Ground Rules and Opening Comments from Vice President Siena Klein, in SuzanneŌĆÖs absence. Siena thanks Jama for taking notes tonight.
II.Roll Call: Suzanne Beers, President, Board-elected; Siena Klein, Vice President, MemberŌĆÖs Rep; Julia Minton, Treasurer, MembersŌĆÖ Rep; Noel Soucy, Secretary, ProgrammersŌĆÖ Rep; Nella White, MembersŌĆÖ Rep; Jordan Jumpshot, ProgrammersŌĆÖ Rep; Antonia Lamb, board-elected; Marcy Stein, ProgrammersŌĆÖ Rep; ex officio member: Jeanette Todd, Station Manager.
Board Members Absent: Noel Soucy, Suzanne Beers, Antonia Lamb until 4:50.
Others Present: Jack Frybulous, Mark Marchese, Christine Doyka, Kim Peterson, John Casali, Maria Savage, Rob Bier, Jama Chaplin
III.Approval of Minutes: (May, June, and July). Julia moves to approve Draft 3 of May minutes, emailed Aug. 6. Unanimous. Marcy moved to approve Draft 3 of June minutes, in the packet. Jack seconded. Unanimous. Marcy moves to table July, Nella seconds. Unanimous.
IV.Approval of Agenda: Julia moves to accept the agenda, but move Open Time earlier in the meeting to accommodate speakers. In addition Marcy offers this friendly amendment: to table the CAB appointment until next month. Revised agenda is approved unanimously except Jordan, who voted no. (These minutes retain the original order, for convenience.)
V.Thank outgoing Board Members: Suzanne Beers, Jordan Jumpshot, and Nella White.
VI.Seat MemberŌĆÖs Rep (three year term)ŌĆöNella White was seated. The Board also seated Jack Frybulous as ProgrammerŌĆÖs Rep (three year term).
VII.Elect one Director to a three year term. Elect one Director to a two year term. Hear statements from candidates. Siena expressed to all three candidates that there is plenty of space available to help KMUD, in many ways. Kim Peterson said that one of her limitations is a full-time job. She can adjust her schedule for meetings. SheŌĆÖll help KMUD, whether sheŌĆÖs appointed or not. Yes, she is interested in finances, since thatŌĆÖs what she does at her job ŌĆō she needs to bring in every penny that she spends so that the twelve families depending on jobs at the Veterinary Clinic can eat. SheŌĆÖs the Practice Manager at the Clinic, managing the operation. Mark Marchese says that finances arenŌĆÖt his thing so much; heŌĆÖs more in the physical task realm, and heŌĆÖs good at problem-solving. Christine Doyka said sheŌĆÖd consider answering the phone at the office, but isnŌĆÖt very good at math. When asked for more of her background she said that she had gone as a Red Cross mental health worker to help after Katrina and Rita. Jack asked each of the candidates to talk about how they might contribute to fundraising. Christine said that as a Hospice volunteer she works at events. Kim had some grantwriting experience at RRHC, working with the ED. She initiated a ŌĆ£crisis fundŌĆØ at the VetsŌĆÖ Clinic for clients who couldnŌĆÖt afford to save their pet, and that is a 501(c)(3) organization. Mark has mainly fundraised for his kidsŌĆÖ activities.
All candidates said that they would be willing to serve on a committee appropriate to their abilities, if not elected to the Board tonight.
Christine then announced that she withdraws from consideration, and will continue to do what she can for KMUD. A coin was flipped to decide which of the remaining candidates got to choose between the two- and three-year terms. Kim chose the two-year term. They were welcomed, given Board Orientation Binders by Siena, and Christine was thanked.
Discussion with Rick Cooper, CAB candidate. Rick Cooper arrived during the past item, and was then filled in that the agenda item had been tabled. He was asked if he would like to speak. He expressed courteously that he did check the agenda to make sure the item was on the agenda before driving from LAŌĆ". Rick also thanked Suzanne, in her absence, for the great conversations he had with her. He thanked the Board for adopting the non-discrimination policy. When the Board votes on his appointment, or any other, please do so in that spirit. The CAB is important, mandated by the FCC, and is often ignored / neglected. Rick has worked in four radio stations, and generally, the volunteers want to keep the status quo, the staff struggles to keep up with work and keep the bills paid, and the CAB is the resource for innovation. KMUD has a great mouth, but the CAB can be the ears. He emailed the Board yesterday. Whether he is appointed or not is less important than the revitalization of the CABs. Julia mentioned the Northern CAB as needing someone to organize them. Rick said he would be happy to work with both groups, and it seems to him that neither is doing much.
VIII.Preliminary Appointment of President, VP, Treasurer, and Secretary- Board will discuss final appointments at upcoming orientation, along with Committee roles. Jack said that if a laptop with WiFi and Word could be found, he would seriously consider being Secretary. Antonia makes a similar statement. After discussion, Julia moves the following: Siena as President, Marcy as VP, Julia as Treasurer, Antonia as secretary with assistance from Mark. Unanimous.
Jeanette asks the Board to consider who could serve as timekeeper for these meetings.
IX.Open Time: Speakers will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed 5 minutes.
John Casali: Would like KMUD to speak the truth about bad environmental behavior. He has many photos to prove his point that there is way too much trash dumped in various places in SoHum. Paul Encimer and Verbena are helping to define KMUD as a far-left station. There have also been seven assaults, five rapes, breakins, vandalism, and suicide in recent times. There have been nine fires. Verbena hung up on all callers who didnŌĆÖt agree with her. SheŌĆÖs a liar. She and Encimer personally attack me. I have spent $50,000 of my own money so that they donŌĆÖt destroy where I live. Siena asked, John, what would you like KMUD to do? John says that if he doesnŌĆÖt get help from the communityŌĆ". Marcy says that as a radio station we donŌĆÖt take a stand on issues; people who are on-air do so. We provide the vehicle.
Rob Bier discussed the difficulties of getting ballots to all of KMUDŌĆÖs members. He registered his lack of a ballot three weeks ago, but still didnŌĆÖt get anything in the mail until he took further steps himself. He and another member turned in their ballots on Tuesday, August 20, and were told by Jim Lamport that they were too late. This is an organizational deficiency. I hope all of you will take this abject failure seriously, and dedicate yourselves to solving this problem. Your legitimacy as a Board is at stake.
Siena thanks Rob for his input and agrees that the problems need to be solved.
X.Management Report (See written report in Public File). Jeanette highlighted the progress in Underwriting income. We need to do more outreach in Northern Humboldt. With completion of the concrete slab, we are 1/3 to ┬Į way done with our ADA work. We have a contractor on board for that, but funding is a concern. Jeanette described the evolution of the News Dept. since the resignation of the second News Coordinator. Now Terri is News Director, and will soon start teaching at Humboldt State, and available to KMUD less days per week. ItŌĆÖs good that we now have a group of capable news anchors. News cassette archive needs to be digitized for preservation. Reciprocation: we need to ŌĆ£give backŌĆØ more nowadays to people who give to the station. Jeanette also discussed healthcare reform; she put information in the July packet. Jeanette discussed the ProgrammerŌĆÖs Agreement, and MarianneŌĆÖs recent decision to now circulate it every two years. After license renewal filing, FCC called her to say that separate filings needed to be done for KMUE and Shelter Cove, which she did ŌĆō remember that for the next renewal in 2021.
XI.Discussion/Questions for Management: Regarding Fall Pledge Drive goal, the budget calls for either $125,000 as the goal, or some other plan to raise that amount in memberships. Jeanette explained the new schedule slots for underwriting messages.
XII.Consent Calendar (no items).
XIII.Finance Committee Report. Barb Truitt came to the meeting, and we should be able to move forward on cash flow projections soon. With that functioning, we wonŌĆÖt have to depend on Budget-to-Actuals for cash flow management. Today I bring to you the final, final 2013 Budget, Page 40, which you have seen before. ItŌĆÖs still not completely balanced, but is as close as we can get. We discussed how much time has gone into budget revision discussion at Committee, and that in the future it would be better to approve the budget once, accompanied by a Budget Narrative, and then develop subsequent Budget Narrative Notes as the year evolves. Dian will attend a board meeting to introduce the board to our financial statements.
When Fitch funds arrive, weŌĆÖll repay our last lender, and then have roughly $100,000. WeŌĆÖve already approved $3500 for the Music Library Digitization. Archiving News is also a priority. YouŌĆÖve seen Dave SmithŌĆÖs proposal for the completion of Studio D. WeŌĆÖll finish the Music Library Addition, including heating and A/C. Double paned windows for the News Room are needed. We may have to do work on the roof (Jeanette will have an appraisal very soon.) Non-prioritized things that we discussed included a PBX telephone system. All of these things would exceed the Fitch disbursement.
Mark mentions that the Healy Center was selling its old heating system at their garage sale. Jeanette will follow up.
Marcy asked about the over-budget spending on News staff. Julia said that later in the meeting when we approve the budget, she will also propose approval of higher spending levels for four of the line items, including News Stringers. Since we have only one News Coordinator, weŌĆÖre paying for the other anchors out of the News Stringers line ŌĆō and this is a transition phase.
Jeanette says that she has committed to writing a Budget Narrative, could not complete it for this board meeting, but will for next time.
XIV.Unfinished Business
A.Technology Proposal ŌĆō tabled, motion passed unanimously (it is already late in the evening).
B.Compliance Calendar Revision- tabled, unanimously.
C.Appointments to the CAB ŌĆō tabled at Agenda Approval.
D.Policy Revision ŌĆ£Fair Access to the AirwavesŌĆØ- replacing the Fairness Doctrine. Tabled unanimously.
E.Policy Revision- Disciplinary Policy ŌĆō tabled unanimously.
F.Budget Approval. Julia explains the Signal Upgrade revenue item at the bottom of her proposed budget ŌĆō a reimbursement for some 2012 expenses which arenŌĆÖt a part of our operating budget for 2013, so itŌĆÖs separated out to avoid confusion. She says that her proposed draft is the best snapshot possible of the year 2013. That said, itŌĆÖs known that News Stringers, Novelty Purchases, Construction & Labor, and Liability Insurance have already exceeded budget. Therefore Julia recommends that the board also authorize the spending in those lines.
Marcy asked why we went over-budget on Novelties ŌĆō did we run out of novelties and need to order more? Julia said the budget number was $7500, and current spending is $13,000. Julia recommends that we donŌĆÖt spend more this year. Jeanette says that we had two cases of mistake shirts. We have already met our budget for Novelty Sales Revenue, but not the $13,000.
Nella says ŌĆ£so movedŌĆØ ŌĆō to approve the budget presented by Julia in the board packet, plus her four additional spending approval items. Mark seconds. Unanimous.
XV.New Business
A.Request Finance Committee Recommendation for Fitch Estate Disbursement ŌĆō tabled unanimously.
B.Budget Approval for North Country Fair Coffee Booth ŌĆō Jeanette is not ready with figures, but does not expect costs to exceed the $1500 she is authorized to approve.
C.Schedule Orientation. Siena had suggested earlier that it be made shorter by having the orientation to financial statements be brief, and the report from the auditor at another time. Jeanette had to leave, but said she would arrange venue and food. Julia would like Dian and the auditor to come to different board meetings. Orientation is scheduled for Sept. 17, 12-4. Siena will check with Kim about this.
D.Collect contact information from new Board Members ŌĆō Siena did so and will circulate a new Board Contact List, a part of the Board Orientation Binder that she distributed to new board members today.
E.KMUD Winter Holiday Appreciation Party ŌĆō tabled unanimously.
A.ProgrammersŌĆÖ Reps
B.MembersŌĆÖ Reps
C.Community Advisory Boards (CABŌĆÖs)
D.Correspondence Secretaries ŌĆō Siena will thank Jim Lamport for being our election referee once again.
E.Staff meeting report, and appoint next Board member(s) to attend

XVIII.Scheduling -- meeting times are:
A.Board of Directors: 4th Tuesday, 4 pm, Healy Senior Center

Ken Czubay, head of Ford's U.S. sales and marketing, today noted along with ambitious product strategy they're "going to aggressively market new products," because "we still have some very competitive Asian and European competitors." He's right, Ford's posted big conquest sales on the backs of their American rivals.
In a report in today's Detroit News (we actually picked up and read a paper copy this morning while having breakfast at Bob Evans, because apparently we're 67 now), recent figures indicate Asian competitors and Ford have seen an uptick in conquest sales since GM and Chrysler have gone into hock with Uncle Sam. Despite President Obama's Warranty Assurance Program, consumers are leery of buying a new car from companies in, or teetering on the edge of, bankruptcy. As a result, Ford has been picking up 5-10% more conquest buyers than normal as consumers who'd prefer to stick with an American brand probably would rather buy from a more solvent company.
Ford's planning to go one step further. Many Chrysler owners are upside down on their loans, with residual values around 40-50% of where they should be on the used market, as such Ford is planning an incentive program of up to $1,000 for Chrysler owners in order to get them out of their money pit and into a Ford product. Considering Ford has improved their market share in six of the last seven months, and they've got a lot of nice cars replacing ugly ducklings (we're looking at you Focus, 500/Taurus), analysts are slowly acknowledging Ford has the possibility of coming out of this industry crisis smelling like roses.

Katy Perry, John Mayer, Miley Cyrus + More at Clive Davis' 2013 Pre-Grammys Party [PHOTOS]
Well, we know Whitney Houston's mom Cissy wasn't there (she had her reasons), but a whole lot of other stars turned out for record executive Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party on Saturday, Feb. 9 at the Beverly Hilton.
Katy Perry and John Mayer showed up together, and Miley Cyrus and her side-boobs got in one last showing before the CBS-mandated ban on such things at the actual awards show. Meanwhile, Janelle Monae walked the red carpet in ... well, we're not quite sure WHAT that was, and of course Kathy Griffin made an appearance (probably to gather intel for future comedy routines).
Here are some photos we gathered for you.

Who are the best central midfielders?
Monday 29 April 2013
Article summary
UEFA.com's Matchday Live presenter Rob Daly asks for your input ahead of the semi-final second legs – who are the best central midfielders left in the competition?
Article top media content
Article body
UEFA.com's Matchday Live show this week wants to know who you think are the best central midfielders among the four teams still in the UEFA Champions League.
FC Bayern München, FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid CF have some of the best midfield maestros in the game, though it was the Bundesliga sides' central players who dictated the tempo of last week's semi-final first legs.
On Tuesday's show we will see if Jose Mourinho's men can overturn their 4-1 deficit against Dortmund. To do so, it seems likely the trio of Sami Khedira, Xabi Alonso and Mesut Özil will need to be reunited having been unsettled by the absence of Ángel Di María in Germany. That meant Özil moved out wide and Luka Modrić assumed the 'No10' role.
Özil and Khedira are particularly important in terms of moving the ball on swifty and smartly in order to exploit the pace of Cristiano Ronaldo and Di María on the counterattack.
Much of the pre-match talk surrounded Dortmund's playmaker Mario Götze, who was unfazed by news of his impending transfer to Bayern. The 20-year-old swept in a wonderful cross for the first of Robert Lewandowski's four goals and, along with Sven Bender and İlkay Gündoğan, had a huge influence on the outcome of the match. Dortmund's ability to press Madrid meant the visitors struggled to use the ball effectively.
Bayern had similar joy in Munich. With Toni Kroos out injured, Thomas Müller is profiting from a more central role in front of the colossal duo of Javi Martínez and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger and Martínez have formed a very smart partnership and worked in cohesion throughout to stop the ball getting to Lionel Messi. It was an especially notable display from Martínez, not least considering he was up against a trio of international team-mates who are normally selected ahead of him for Spain.
Can Barcelona really come back from 4-0 down? The general consensus is that they must score early to stand any chance on Wednesday. Regardless of who is picked alongside Messi in attack, it will be the ability of Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández to play their incisive passes that will determine whether those sharp movements into the penalty area are worthwhile.
They are two of the three players who have completed the most passes in the competition this term. Spain's recent dominance on the international stage, along with Barça's on a domestic and continental one, can be largely attributed to their masterly direction. Busquets offers protection and some vision of his own, which is why, for many, they remain the elite midfield group in world football.

Skating is mostly associated with competitive ride (inline skating, riding a scooter, and skateboarding). Persons looking for other types of activity will also find something for themselves: from recreational skating to field and fast skating.
