Windows 8: Jack of All Trades, Master of None?
Oct 25, 2012 5:00 AM PT
There just doesn't seem to be any rest for the weary here in the Linux blogosphere lately, what with the release of Ubuntu Linux 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" last week and the "Rectangle with Rounded Corners" 5 not long before that.
Next up? Well, it's Windows 8, which officially launches on Friday.
FOSS fans' hackles have already been raised by the Secure Boot saga, of course, and the growing din of fanfare over in the neighboring Redmond territories is doing nothing to settle them. No wonder Linux Girl had to push her way through the crowds down at the blogosphere's seedy Broken Windows Lounge.
'Color Me Skeptical'
A lively discussion was already under way when Linux Girl arrived, in fact, and it was sparked by a recent InformationWeek article. Entitled, "Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS?" the article ponders Microsoft's single-platform approach.
"If I skip Windows 8, some folks say I'm losing the appealing opportunity to synchronize all of my devices on a single platform," wrote author Kevin Casey. "Color me skeptical."
"Skeptical," of course, is many FOSS fans' middle name. Those on Slashdot and beyond have had plenty to say.
'I Manage Just Fine'
"I can understand where they are coming from," began Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien. "I am hopelessly confused by having Android on my phone, Linux on my desktop at home, and Windows on my desktop at work. Some days I just stare in blank incomprehension at these gadgets...
"Wait, no I don't," O'Brien added. "I actually manage just fine. Hey Microsoft, the term is 'lowest common denominator.' It is not generally a compliment in technology."
In fact, "no one really needs a single OS," agreed Google+ blogger Linux Rants. "In fact, from a security standpoint, it's a bad thing."
'The Same Vulnerabilities'
Running a single OS means that "every single device you have has the same vulnerabilities," Linux Rants explained. "If one is compromised, they're all compromised."
Varying your operating systems "not only between different kinds of devices but even with the same kind of devices is just a good idea," he added. "It's a much worse idea to have a single OS when that single OS is Windows, and don't let Microsoft convince you otherwise."
Indeed, "you don't need a single OS, you need a single kernel, and that kernel is the Linux kernel," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza told Linux Girl.
'What Has Microsoft Spooked'
"What do cellphones, routers, notebooks, desktops, and servers have in common?" Espinoza explained. "Linux. Windows might be able to do all those jobs, but even if it manages to do one of them as well as does Linux, it certainly won't do them all so well."
In fact, "it may not even be that long before Android starts making serious inroads on the desktop," he added. "After all, if you're already used to it on your phone, why not have it on your tablet? And once you have a phone and a tablet running Android, you may well want to see it everywhere.
"This is, of course, what has Microsoft spooked at the moment," Espinoza said.
'They Want to Create a Need'
"Sure, Microsoft wants you to have just one OS (Windows), and of course, to have a Surface to read news and e-books, an X-box to play your games, a Zune to listen your songs and a Kin to make phone calls...," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol offered.
"Ludicrous -- they want to create a need that no one has," he opined.
"With Android, iOS and MacOSX (or any GNU/Linux variant out there), who needs Microsoft and Windows 8? No one," Ebersol concluded. "Reminds of that open source saying: In a world without fences and walls, who needs Windows and Gates?"
'Win 8 Is Simply Too Uncertain'
Windows 8 is nothing short of "a train wreck," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet asserted.
The problem, hairyfeet explained, is that "Win 8 is 'a jack of all trades, master of none' that tries to be a desktop AND an OS for tablets AND an OS for phones and frankly it does NONE of them well. It's no wonder reviewers have been calling it 'Windows Frankenstein,' because it can't make up its mind."
So, "why does the guy need one OS? Simple, he don't, and certainly not Win 8," hairyfeet concluded. "In fact, if someone insisted on only one company, I would tell them to buy Apple -- Win 8 is simply too uncertain at the moment."
'The Interface Needs to Be Different'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack took a similar view.
"My desktop has an interface designed for a larger screen and heavy use of the mouse and keyboard," Mack told Linux Girl. "My cellphone has a design optimized for a much smaller screen, no mouse and as little use of the built-in keyboard as possible (mainly relegating it to text entry).
"The thing Microsoft seems to not understand is that the tradeoffs mean the interface needs to be different between each form factor," Mack explained. "After spending years learning the hard way that people just don't want a start bar on their cell phones, they are now making the opposite mistake and inflicting a cell phone interface on their desktop users."
Mack's prediction? "Win 8 will make Vista look like a smashing success and won't be recoverable until they roll back all of Win 8's interface changes," he said. "The entire PC market will feel the resulting financial pain."
A Consistent Paradigm
Users don't need a single OS, but they do need an OS with a version for mobile phones, tablets and personal computers, suggested Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"What device we use depends on where we are," Lim explained. "We might start writing an email on the mobile phone while on the train, continue it on a tablet when we are in the coffee shop, and finish it with the computer once we get to the office.
"It would be preferable if our journey which started on a 4.3-inch screen, moved on to a 9.7-inch display and ended in a 13.3-inch machine could use an app launched with a common icon on all three devices, and had common buttons once launched," he opined.
So, "do you need one OS? No," Lim concluded. "But you do need two or three operating systems that look and run in the same way."
'The New Normal'
Last but not least, "the world does not need a monopoly in hardware or software," blogger Robert Pogson opined. "There's nothing in it for us."
Microsoft "may think a single OS for everyone will keep the cash cow flowing, but it won't work," he explained. "Small, cheap computers are overrunning all client positions, and diversity and open standards are the new normal."
In short, "M$ has peaked and is in decline," Pogson concluded. "Consumers, retailers, OEMs and shareholders know it. Expect rapid adjustments in all market strategies in consumer tech. That won't include anyone giving M$ an exclusive deal."

Triton unseats No. 5 OD for Sectional 50 title
HAMLET — Three Triton starters occupied the pine with second-quarter foul trouble against four-time defending girls basketball sectional champion Oregon-Davis Saturday.
The Lady Trojans hardly missed a beat.
Even with three reserves – including a freshman seeing her first sectional time – on the floor, Triton opened up a nine-point halftime lead and maintained at least a seven-point edge the rest of the way to unseat No. 5 OD in Class A Sectional 50 title-game action at The Den.
The Trojans take on three-time defending state champion Fort Wayne Canterbury in Saturday's second Caston Regional semifinal.
"If you had told me before the game that we'd have three starters on the bench in the second quarter with two or three fouls, I would have been nervous," Triton head coach Adam Heckaman said. "Our subs stepped up huge for us.
"It's huge," he added of the sectional crown. "It's really big for the seniors. This is my third year, and they've had to adjust to what we want them to do. Over the summer they worked really hard to get to this point. The big thing is they don't care who scores; they don't care who gets the attention; they just want to win. It means a lot for everyone."
Emily Duff — one of six Triton seniors — turned in the game of her career with 24 points, five rebounds and five steals. She nailed 3-of-6 tries from 3-point land, the final out of the left corner off of a dish from senior Allison Thacker that capped off a 30-10 run and gave the Trojans their biggest lead of the game, 45-26 with 7:42 left in the fourth quarter.
"Defensively, we played really hard, and I was trying to pick up the slack for our offense," Duff said. "We played with rhythm as a team. Winning against OD on their home floor, it's amazing."
And when the Cats quickly rattled off 11 consecutive points to pull within eight, 45-37 on a pair of LeeAnn Meyer charity tosses with 6:16 left in the game, Duff answered with a basket off an inbound pass from senior Sarah Stichter to put Triton back up by 10.
"I had a feeling (Duff) was going to have a good game," Heckaman said. "She worked hard on her shot this morning, and she stepped up and knocked down some big shots. She was all over the place defensively."
OD again chopped its deficit to eight points with a free throw from freshman Ashley Campbell with 1:19 to play, but Triton freshman Taylor Hatfield, pressed into significant minutes off the bench, hit 5 of 6 from the free-throw line in the concluding 1:12 to seal the win. She also gave the Trojans the lead for good, 17-16, on a driving bucket with 4:24 left in the first half.
"(Hatfield) came in and picked up the slack," Duff said. "She's a freshman and was amazing. It's crazy."
Also for Triton, Thacker fought through foul trouble to finish with 11 points, while senior subs Hannah Downing and Aundrea Sellers gave the Trojans plenty of steady minutes in the second quarter and down the stretch. Downing chipped in six points and three assists, and Sellers added a bucket and five boards.
"Taylor did a good job, and Hannah Downing came in and did an outstanding job against (OD's) pressure," Heckaman said. "We got the ball where we had to get it."
And while the Trojans cashed in on 20-of-24 attempts from the foul line, OD failed to take advantage of Triton's foul woes, hitting just 18-of-39 chances from the so-called charity stripe.
"We can whine and cry all we want, but (Triton) just did a heckuva job and beat our butts," OD head coach Terry Minix said. "They came to play. They were more determined. The better team won tonight. You can look at intensity, free throws, rebounding, but the reason we lost is the team out there is good.
"We didn't play with a sense of urgency until the fourth quarter," he said. "If we start the game with the same intensity that we had in the fourth quarter we're OK."
Defensively, Triton's 1-3-1 zone shut off OD's driving lanes through the first three quarters, relegating the Cats to the perimeter where they finished 4 of 28 from 3-point range for the game. OD did finally locate paths to the rack in the fourth quarter, but the Trojans' big cushion proved too much to overcome.
"Mama said we'd have nights like this," Minix said. "Triton just played better than us. They have six or seven seniors, and they were more determined."
Meanwhile, Triton effectively spread the floor and used long passes down the sideline to break OD's full-court pressure. And although Triton trailed 16-15 at the first-quarter break, Heckaman liked where his veteran team stood, even with foul trouble.
"We've got six seniors, and OD has a lot of freshmen who haven't been in a close sectional game; they had big leads at the end of the first quarter in their first two games," Heckaman said. "I thought if we could keep it within two points at the end of the first quarter that OD would get a little flustered. I think that happened. I think it goes back to our experience. We were able to match them punch for punch."
Campbell, who collected five steals, and senior Justyne Kranenburg scored 15 points apiece for the Cats. Junior Katie Schwenk also ripped down eight rebounds.
"Katie played her best game in awhile, "Minix said. "That's what we're going to need out of her next year as a senior leader."
OD now loses seniors Kranenburg, Meyer, Kristie Taylor and Heather Boyle.
"Justyne's been around forever," Minix said. "She had a little less role this year, but she still had a great attitude. She'll be good at whatever she decides to do. LeeAnn Meyer came back from an ACL tear; we didn't even think she'd come out this year. She helped us. Kristie Taylor had games where she played great. She had others where she sat, and nobody did that with a better attitude. The Boyle girl was hurt, but they're all good kids and were good for the team."

Audrey-esque Long Black Dress
Added Feb 18, 2013
by Fipp
Dallas, Texas, U...
This was a really easy dress to make, and makes a big statement. I got the inspiration from Breakfast at Tiffany and Charades, both of which profile Audrey Hepburn wearing a LBD.
The back of the dress is open and there is an invisible zipper under the arm. I found the pattern, which was Simplicity 2180, very easy to work with. I had made the day version twice before, and wanted to try my hand at the evening one. I am really pleased with how it worked out and I would definately reccomend it.
The day dress version that I made is Retro Reminiscent Good-bye Party Dress
The material was of an unknown origin, which is too bad because I would use it again.
I made the slit on the side a bit shorter for a more conservative wear, but I will definately be making this dress again in a brighter fabric for the summer

Hilary Mantel has scooped her second Man Booker prize, making her the first female to have achieved the double-win.
The author initially won the prize for the first part of her Tudor trilogy, Wolf Hall, and has now won again for the second installation, Bring Up The Bodies.
Overwhelmed by the award, Hilary said: "You wait 20 years for a Booker Prize and two come along at once."
She added: "I know how privileged and lucky I am to be standing here tonight. I regard this as an act of faith and a vote of confidence."
As well as the prestige, there are other financial benefits to the prize, with the average Booker winner receiving an average £1 million in sales. Shortlisters receive £2,500, and Hilary will receive £50,000.

With the likely prospect of Chris Clemons starting the season on the PUP list, and the menacing thought that Clemons may never come back at 100%, filling the LEO position would seem to be priority one. But I am not convinced the FO will be looking to the draft only to fill this core need. I can see the FO looking to free agency to bolster the position as part of an overall plan to provide a short-term and long-term solution. Certainly the Seahawks may invest significant draft capital into the LEO position this off-season. It just seems unlikely that the FO would make a massive long-term financial investment into an aging "star" or 30+ year old vet. I am confident that the Seahawks will sign a FA LEO stop-gap...but which one?
The names most talked about as LEO candidates? I really do not see a fit for any of them. Paul Kruger has been talked up a ton on 710AM, but he is just not quick enough or fast enough to fit the position - besides the cost and the likely long term contract he will demand. Anthony Spencer has been discussed by some, but with a few teams converting to a 3-4 the past few years, and the likely cost - seems like a stretch. Dwight Freeney could be ideal, but I have a feeling that some team will likely overpay for a 4+ year contract. Seattle will be looking for a short term deal with him for vet minimum (or at least lower than market value). Plus i do not think the Seahawks are that interested in his declining skills. There are a few other viable candidates, like Osi Umenyiora (attitude/injuries?), Connor Barwin (quickness/cost/scheme fit), or Cliff Avril (cost/franchise tag). I really like the possibility of a player like Shaun Phillips, an under the radar buy-low candidate. But Phillips is 31, entering the career phase of production decline.
So what does that leave left for the Seahawks? I have been looking through the potential candidates to find an under-valued, poorly utilized player - essentially looking for Chris Clemons 2.0. I came across a player that MAY be an ideal fit, and could thrive in a change of scenery and scheme.
Antwan Barnes, FA OLB who last played with the Chargers, is a very intriguing candidate. Drafted in the fourth round by the Ravens, he was a bit lost on their depth chart, then traded to the Eagles. Cut by the Eagles, he signed with the Chargers - with mixed success. His claim to fame and specialty in college was his pass rushing ability, and has struggled against the pass when required to drop in coverage as an OLB in a 3-4 defense. He has similar size as Clemons (6'1" 251), and has a solid work ethic, quickness, and athleticism. He is at his best as a "hand on the ground" pass rusher. It seems that the Charger defense has been a mess the past few seasons, would not be surprising if he has been completely misused. It would seem that Barnes would be an ideal candidate to compete for the position - low-cost player looking to redeem himself and learn from an outstanding coaching staff. If Clemons comes back at near 100%, Barnes becomes a situational pass rusher. If the Seahawks draft a LEO, and he blows up training camp - you can start the rookie without locking up cap space with a high cost vet bench warmer. If Barnes comes in and exceeds expectation - then we get a few seasons of massively undervalued talent (like the majority of the current roster)
Any thoughts? Or maybe other under the radar candidates?

life gets in the way
Well it has been a busy month. My husband applied and was accepted to school 3 hours from here. We are busy trying to find somewhere to live and move a household in 3 months. His 22 year old cousin was also killed in a car accident so there has been some sad mixed in with the good. And dd also turned 5. This year we braved Chuckie Cheese with family and friends. It just seems like yesterday she was born. Thankfully she has her dads temperment but somehow she inherited my lost girlie girl gene. But I am at the heel flap of my sock so hopefully it will be done in time.

Heads in Jars was invented sometime by the 23rd century, created by Ron Popeil. They can be used to store and preserve the heads of celebrities, and even long dead historical figures, from presidents to historical villains, through special cloning from the DNA of that person. They can even use robotic limbs in the jar or attach themselves to move around. The liquid inside is called H2OGfat.
It's also possible to revive already dead heads. Some examples of such characters include Elvis Presley (died in 1977), Richard M. Nixon (died in 1994), and Abraham Lincoln (died in 1865).

In the FCS Huddle: First impressions
Philadelphia, PA – The Big Ten may want to cancel the order to cancel games against FCS programs.
The opening weekend of the college football season sure showed the FCS has a lot to offer against FBS competition.
As if we didn't know that already.
North Dakota State can play some serious ball as the two-time defending FCS champion. Ditto for fellow national powers Eastern Washington, Northern Iowa and Towson.
Even McNeese State isn't just there to collect a paycheck when it lines up against an FBS opponent - earning a win for the second consecutive season on Saturday.
The first weekend left a few jaws wide open as a stunning eight FCS teams beat FBS opponents. Two of the wins were against transitioning FBS programs, but they are meaningful nonetheless.
Last season's 10 FCS-over-FBS wins were the most since 2003. That number is more than within reach this season.
"We just know how to fight and we know how to not let any environment get to us. That's the biggest thing," Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said, explaining how his team beat Oregon State and basically how FCS teams pull the upsets.
While the FBS wins were the signature first impression for Week 1, there were plenty of others. Here are 10 that stand out:
- That six different FCS conferences joined in the wins over the FBS speaks to the depth nationally. The Missouri Valley (North Dakota State over Kansas State and Northern Iowa over Iowa State) and Big Sky (Southern Utah over South Alabama and Eastern Washington over Oregon State) conferences had two wins each, while CAA Football (Towson over Connecticut) and Ohio Valley (Eastern Illinois over San Diego State), Southern (Samford over Georgia State) and Southland (McNeese State over South Florida) conferences had one each. Impressive.
- The offensive line can't get enough credit for how top-ranked North Dakota State has become the pre-eminent power in the FCS (two straight national titles, four straight wins over FBS opposition). The Bison big boys, led by 6- foot-6, 314-pound left tackle Billy Turner, are a treat to watch as they crash up the field and make opposing defenders look small, if not overmatched. The Bison chewed up 215 yards on the ground in their 24-21 win over Kansas State.
- There's nothing like a true first impression, something you can never make again. Charlotte was out in front of the six new FCS programs that debuted in Week 1. The independent program, which is headed to the FBS level in two years, throttled Campbell, 52-7, as 16,630 looked on at Richardson Stadium. Mark Hogan set the tone in the game's opening minute by scoring off a 32-yard interception return and the 49ers forced four turnovers. Matt Johnson threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns for coach Brad Lambert.
- The Pioneer Football League champion will have an automatic bid to the playoffs for the first time in November, but the league will want to put Week 1 in the rearview mirror. Some of the forgettable results: two-time defending champion Drake lost at home to Grand View, Morehead State lost at home to Pikeville (yeah, the immortal Pikeville), Marist was handled at home by Sacred Heart and Valparaiso was on the wrong end of a 69-10 result against North Dakota.
- There are 19 new or interim head coaches who weren't at the helm of their program to start last season. The most impressive season-opening triumph was seemingly turned in by Charleston Southern and Jamey Chadwell, winning at The Citadel, 32-29. But give Jay Mills some credit for getting the Buccaneers going again in his final season a year ago.
- Key defections haven't completely robbed the Big South and Northeast conferences. In fact, Duquesne posted an especially satisfying win by defeating Albany, which has moved to the CAA along with former Big South power Stony Brook. Both conferences did quite well this weekend, with two Big South teams (Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern) beating SoCon opponents.
- They're baaaack. Or so it appears. The vaunted ground games of Montana and Northern Iowa sure made it seem last year's 5-6 records were a blip on the radar. Montana pounded Appalachian State and UNI beat Iowa State for the fifth time in its history.
- There's good reason to consider this the year of the running back, and the depth may go farther than anybody realized. Few backs looked as good as juniors David Johnson (199 yards, four total touchdowns) of Northern Iowa and Terrance West (156 yards, two touchdowns) of Towson did in their teams' FBS upsets. But the top seven rushers and 14 of the weekend's top 15 played on winning teams.
- If you can't beat a SDSU, beat another one. The Jimmy Garoppolo-to-Erik Lora connection at Eastern Illinois could be unstoppable again, one year after Lora set the FCS single-season record for receptions. They were on target 10 more times Saturday night - twice for touchdowns - as the Panthers passed by San Diego State University. The win over SDSU came after last season ended in the playoffs against South Dakota State University.
- Maybe Eastern Washington can weather its brutally tough schedule (likely the nation's toughest). Sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams was nothing short of amazing with 518 total yards and six total touchdowns in lifting the Eagles to a 49-46 upset of Oregon State. Oh yes, the Eagles still have Toledo, Sam Houston State, Montana and Cal Poly on the road and Montana State at home.
A roundup of games in The Sports Network FCS Top 25 can be found at http://tinyurl.com/my97uu5.
After the huge weekend for the FCS, its teams have an 8-23 record against FBS opponents.
Week 2 will have 35 more FCS-FBS matchups.
Rising: The Southland Conference might be good enough to put three teams in the playoffs. Not only are defending champions Central Arkansas and Sam Houston State in the Top 10, but McNeese State, which throttled South Florida, is senior-laden and Southeastern Louisiana, which throttled Southeast Missouri State, is transfer-laden.
Falling: Granted UT Martin might be underrated, but is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga overrated? This is supposed to be the season fifth- year coach Russ Huesman finally ends the Mocs' FCS playoff drought which dates to 1984. But the Mocs won the turnover battle (three to one) and had only a third of UTM's penalties (nine to three) yet never led in falling flat at home, 31-21.
Big Sky: Welcome back, Bo Bolen. In returning from a two-year break for a LDS mission, the Weber State junior standout had 215 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns (including a 100-yard kickoff return) in a 50-40 win over Stephen F. Austin.
Big South: Gardner-Webb overcame a 21-7 third-quarter deficit in its impressive, 28-21 triumph over Furman. Running back Juanne Blount and wide receiver Kenny Cook scored two touchdowns each in Carroll McCray's coaching debut.
CAA Football: William & Mary hopes it has solved the quarterback uncertainty of recent seasons. Senior Michael Graham, who has been part of the inconsistency at the position, gave a take-charge performance in the Tribe's 24-17 loss to West Virginia. He completed 18-of-27 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown with one late-game interception. He also rushed for a touchdown.
Ivy: The additional week that makes this a 13-week season means four Ivy programs - Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth and Yale - will be behind their opening opponent by three games when the league kicks off play on Sept. 21.
Independents: Old Dominion junior quarterback Taylor Heinicke will keep putting up huge numbers as the Monarchs move out of the FCS. Yeah, no duh, huh? The 2012 Walter Payton Award winner threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 52 yards and a score in ODU's 52-38 loss to future Conference USA rival East Conference.
MEAC: Through Saturday's action, MEAC teams were winless in seven games. They then played in two spotlight games on Sunday: Florida A&M in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and Bethune-Cookman at Tennessee State.
Missouri Valley: Many happy returns: As Western Illinois drubbed Hampton, 42-9, Dallas Nichols and Kevin Kintzel returned interceptions for touchdowns and Ryan Demming returned a fumble for a touchdown. Nichols' return went for a school- record 97 yards yet, go figure, was only the eighth-longest in conference history. The Leathernecks forced nine turnovers.
Northeast: Dominique Williams' 162 yards on the ground in Wagner's 28-21 rally past Georgetown was the 21st 100-yard rushing performance of his career. He scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:49 left.
Ohio Valley: Southeast Missouri State coach Tony Samuel picked Ohio University transfer Kyle Snyder, who missed last season with a knee injury, as the starting quarterback over Scott Lathrop, who replaced Snyder last year and went on to win OVC freshman of the year honors. The Redhawks struggled in a 45-7 opening loss at Southeastern Louisiana.
Patriot: Six of Holy Cross' nine losses last season were by seven points or less. Sure enough, the Crusaders opened the new campaign with a 17-16 loss as Bryant made a last-minute field goal and All-Patriot preseason kicker John Macomber missed a 43-yard attempt on the game's final play.
Pioneer: While lightning and a thunderstorm interrupted Stetson's debut on Saturday and postponed the action to Sunday, Mercer got a jump on its fellow start-up program by defeating Reinhardt (an NAIA first-year team), 40-37. In the final 3:17, Josh Shutter tied the game with a short field goal and won it with another one.
Southern: Appalachian State's two Walter Payton Award candidates might be out of the running before it really gets going. Wide receiver Sean Price is serving an indefinite suspension and quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson is coming off a knee injury and then suffered a hand injury in the 30-6 loss to Montana.
Southland: Oregon transfer Bryan Bennett was particularly impressive in Southeastern Louisiana's 45-7 rout of Southeast Missouri State. He rushed for three touchdowns and 106 yards while throwing for another 169 yards.
SWAC: Jackson State hopes senior quarterback Clayton Moore will be healthy enough for next Saturday's conference opener against Alabama State. Touted redshirt freshman LaMontiez Ivy had season-ending surgery on Friday after he replaced Moore as the starter in a 34-7 loss at Tulane Thursday night.
Extra Point: When NFL teams cut down to the regular-season limit of 53 players on Saturday, nine former Appalachian State players were on rosters: running back Travaris Cadet (New Orleans Saints), wide receiver Armanti Edwards (Carolina Panthers), defensive end Jason Hunter (Oakland Raiders), offensive lineman Daniel Kilgore (San Francisco 49ers), punter Sam Martin (Detroit Lions), defensive back Demetrius McCray (Jacksonville Jaguars), wide receiver Brian Quick (St. Louis Rams), linebacker D.J. Smith (San Diego Chargers) and linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough who will spend the season on the Washington Redskins' injured reserve following shoulder surgery.
Among the FCS-FBS matchups in Week 2 are Eastern Kentucky-Louisville, Old Dominion-Maryland, Richmond-North Carolina State, Sam Houston State-Texas A&M, Central Arkansas-Colorado, Southeastern Louisiana-TCU, Samford-Arkansas, Montana State-SMU, UT Martin-Boise State, New Hampshire-Central Michigan and Cal Poly-Fresno State.
Among the big FCS games are Wofford at The Citadel in the Southern Conference and Alabama State at Jackson State in the SWAC. Cross-conference games include Tennessee State at Florida A&M, Towson at Holy Cross, Albany at Colgate, South Dakota State at North Dakota, Eastern Illinois at Southern Illinois and Arkansas-Pine Bluff at McNeese State.
Stony Brook will play a CAA Football game for the first time when it visits Rhode Island, whose 14-game losing streak is the longest all of Division I.

The Pete Carroll era in Foxborough
The Pete Carroll era in Foxborough
Carroll arrived in New England on Feb. 3, 1997 as the replacement for the departed Bill Parcells. Team owner Robert Kraft handed him a team that had just lost to the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI.
Carroll came to the Patriots with just one season of NFL head coaching experience, in 1994 with the Jets. He went 6-10 that year, and 1-1 against Parcells' Patriots, including this 24-13 loss in Foxborough.
Carroll, though unproven on his own, inherited a team with a Pro Bowl quarterback in Drew Bledsoe that many expected to continue as an AFC force.
Carroll teamed with personnel chief Bobby Grier, left, to make up the Patriots' post-Parcells brain trust.
The first draft pick of the Carroll era, cornerback Chris Canty, turned into a bust. He was out of the NFL after four seasons following his selection as the 29th overall pick.
Carroll's debut came in a preseason Super Bowl rematch against the Packers in Green Bay. The Patriots lost, 7-3.
Carroll was known for his upbeat personality and his enthusiasm, but also could get fiery with officials at times.
The Patriots slumped during Carroll's first year, at one point losing five of seven games to the chagrin of fans at Foxboro Stadium.
But the 1997 season turned around when Carroll led the Patriots to a 27-24 win over Jimmy Johnson's Dolphins in November. The Patriots would win three of their final four games to claim the division title with a 10-6 record.
The good times rolled for Carroll into the playoffs when the Patriots defeated the Dolphins again, 17-3, in the wild-card round. Their run would end the next week, however, in a 7-6 loss to the Steelers.
Carroll was dejected at this October 1998 session with reporters during a stretch where his Patriots lost four of five games.
The 1998 season was salvaged when Carroll tapped backup QB Scott Zolak to play for an injured Drew Bledsoe. That keyed a 24-21 win over the 49ers at home to clinch a playoff berth.
Carroll's teams included a number of players who would contribute to the Patriots' Super Bowl wins under Bill Belichick. Tedy Bruschi, right, played in all three of Carroll's years with the Patriots.
Carroll's final season began on a high note when he defeated his predecessor Bill Parcells' Jets on their home turf, 30-28, in 1999.
But after a 6-2 start, the Patriots' season spiraled out of control. At one point, Carroll's team lost six of seven games.
Carroll saluted the Foxboro Stadium fans after winning the finale of the 1999 season. That brought the Patriots back to .500 at 8-8, but still left them on the outside of the playoff field.
Carroll was fired early in January 2000 with a 27-21 record in three seasons as Patriots coach. He would go on to lead the University of Southern California to an NCAA title and an 83-19 record in nine seasons before returning to the NFL with Seattle in 2010.

I remember the first time I met Steve Hall. I was giving my feet a rest while sitting behind the Houseboat magazine booth when suddenly Ray and Betty Chesney from Horizon Yachts came looking for me.
"There is someone that you've just gotta meet," said Betty as I quickly jumped to my feet. The Horizon owners introduced me to Steve, and we started talking about his 80- by 18-foot custom Horizon Yacht that he had just taken delivery on that past fall. That's when Ray jumped in with a smile and said, "Do the voice, then he'll know who you are."
Caught a little off guard, Steve gave me a little bit of background on himself. He told me he was the voice of Shotgun Red. When I hesitated for a moment with a puzzled look on my face, out came the voice and instantly I made the connection. If you're not expecting it, hearing that very distinctive voice coming from Steve will surprise you while putting a big smile on your face-all at the same time.
Steve's character Shotgun Red is the famous puppet that is known all over Tennessee and beyond for his standup comedy. The story goes that Shotgun was found in a Minnesota hobby shop by Steve in 1980. From that point he became the emcee for Steve's band, which helped launch both their careers.
Famous Red
Red became a regular member of the "Nashville Now!" cast for over 10 years and he also appeared for 10 years on one of country music's most successful syndicated and cable network TV programs, "Hee Haw." The little guy even hosted TNN's first music video show, "Country Clips," for six years.
So in just a matter of a few moments I went from shaking Steve's hand, to getting a quick taste of his comedy as he continued to tell jokes using his character's voice that kept me laughing.
It was obvious this guy was a real character himself, and I was instantly interested in doing a story on him and his new Horizon Yacht in our magazine. If he could get me laughing in just a matter of minutes, I could only imagine what it would be like to spend a day with him out on the water.
All Aboard
A few months later I came to Nashville, Tenn., to meet with Steve and to see his houseboat in person. The boat is owned by him and his fiancée, Sheila Keaton, and although it's named Miss Sheila, Shotgun Red gets plenty of attention on this boat, including a painting of him inside, as well as what Steve refers to as his floating billboard with Red on both sides of his houseboat.
As I stepped on the Horizon Yacht for the first time I was surprised to see a crowd was already starting to gather. I got the feeling that wherever Steve goes, the party is sure to follow.
Before we took a cruise around J. Percy Priest Lake, which is just outside of Nashville, Steve gave me the full tour of his beautiful boat. The 80-foot Horizon Yacht includes a 12-foot front deck with a 56-foot cabin and the nine-foot back deck has a three-foot swim platform. The tour started in his galley, which is also the set where he does his cooking show on the celebrated sportsman's show "Buckmasters" at www.buckmasters.com. He taped 26 shows last year and many people still don't believe it was really shot from his houseboat, but rather a studio set. But Steve is quick to assure everyone that his show really does take place from the galley of his houseboat. One of the features he asked for when designing the custom houseboat was a taller ceiling, which now comes in handy for the film crew when shooting the cooking show. The raised ceiling also gives the galley and salon areas a wide-open feel that just invites you in.
Shelia's Added Touch
Steve met his fiancée nearly 20 years ago when she was the production assistant for the show "Hee Haw." Then two years ago they started dating and they're now partners in Steve's business as well as in the houseboat.
"Shelia designed the boat's interior, including the window treatments, the counter tops and the wood paneling," says Steve. "She did a great job with the colors and everything really flows well,"
His Own Plans
Steve left the decorating to Shelia, but he had a list of his own when it came must-have items.
"In the galley, every boat should have a trash compactor," explains Steve. "It's your choice on taking out your trash once a day or once a week." Other key appliances include a built-in microwave, side by side Trio refrigerator, smooth top range and a dishwasher. He also loves the workmanship of the cabinets and the overall construction throughout.
"We worked with Jason (Stockton) at Horizon and we never got a no from him," says Steve. "I just got a `yeah we can do that.' We really took our time to order what we wanted. Everyone told us we'd find out everything we really needed after we got it, but we worked closely with the designer and we studied the floor plan for a month to make sure we liked it."
One of those changes included laying the stairs down a few degrees, which makes access to the top deck a lot easier. He also wanted the bed in the master stateroom to be a little lower, which meant less head room below. He just turned that room under his bed into what he calls a "kid cuddy" that also doubles as a catchall storage space.
The boat was number 327 for Horizon and it was the custom service and their willingness to work with them on their last-minute changes in the final hour that really sold the couple on this manufacturer.
"I'm not sure they wouldn't come down to change a light bulb," joked Steve. "We looked at other manufacturers, and although we liked some of the beautiful designs, we didn't feel they were practical. Luxury plus common sense equals Horizon."
First Timer
Growing up in Minnesota, Steve wasn't a stranger to boats by any stretch of the imagination. He rented plenty of houseboats, but this was the first time he ever bought one and he couldn't be happier with his decision.
He loves his twin 4.3 MerCruiser engines with Bravo II outdrives because it gives him plenty of power. The engines were mounted wide for more control and he also went with a 15 KW Westerbeke generator that is C.O. safe. One amenity he wasn't sure about but is glad that he added it was the bow and stern thrusters that make docking his boat a very easy process. On the boat there are three 99-gallon fuel tanks-one for each engine and one so he can gas the jet skis.
Puppet Power
The quick-witted Shotgun Red did make an appearance on this day. From the top deck he posed for photos and entertained the kids onboard. The two still perform on a regular basis as part of Steve Hall and the Shotgun Red band, which was the lead act on the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville for over 12 years that includes more than 3500 shows. Besides regular shows at the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater, Steve also entertains small corporate groups with a day cruise aboard Miss Sheila that includes music and entertainment and those trips can be booked by calling 615-226-8090.
As we were leaving his boat I commented once again on how nice and clean it looked, but he told me it was a little too clean for him.
"A boat should be clean enough to be healthy, but dirty enough to be happy," said Steve with a smile. And with that I headed to the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater to catch Steve's performance that night, which only capped off a great day. He and his sidekick Red closed the show with impressions of country music stars, songs and a great comedy act that left the crowd roaring, including myself.

What you get. In the case of Kevin Siembieda, he likes to be accessible to the convention organizers and the gamers attending the convention. He'll chat and sign autographs for hours. The more events he can participate in at the convention, the better. As a guest, Kevin's goal is to be there for you, and to help make the convention a fun success. He enjoys talking, has a million stories and is happy to host question and answer sessions and participate in panel talks (by himself or as a member of larger panels with other guests). In fact, he'll do 2-5 panels a day (depending on the length of time), and can handle panels that run 2-3 hours at a time.

Publishers Realizing It's Silly To 'Fight Piracy'
from the smart-move dept
"The majority of the titles that were infringed upon were scholarly monographs," Kiely explained. "It's very hard to find a correlation between the appearance of these books on these sites, and lost sales. In some cases you can't help but think that … obscurity might be our biggest problem, rather than piracy."Apparently this was a part of a panel discussion on the topic of "Is Piracy Good for Sales," which included someone from Attributor, the company famous for inaccurately hyping up online "piracy" claims in order to try to sell more of its "solution" to what may be a non-existent "problem." Thankfully, it sounds like other publishers agreed with Kiely that infringement isn't the real problem. Some noted that, especially with academic publishing, there were all sorts of other "reasons to buy" legitimate copies that meant that unauthorized versions quite frequently could lead to greater sales.
The cost of combating piracy -- a tedious and sometimes fruitless exercise -- may, in such cases, far exceed the cost in lost sales from having those titles available for free, he added. Allowing more obscure titles to change hands freely on the Web might even result in buzz, which could eventually translate to more sales, Kiely added.
In fact, the report notes that among academic publishers, there's very little concern about such infringement. A recent study found that "piracy" ranked near the bottom of concerns for such publishers. It's nice to see an industry not freaking out about infringement, and instead focusing on providing greater value and adjusting business models.

I think it is safe to say that the technology world was not amazed nor astonished by today's announcement of Nokia's new Windows 8 phone line. Partly this is, of course, because we knew roughly what was coming before the announcement. It would be a new Nokia phone, or several of them, running Microsoft's Windows 8 for phones. So it isn't that they could surprise us with the OS or anything. However, while there's a great deal of dutiful reporting of what was announced there's not very much, if any, of the ecstatic joy that accompanies the new phone releases of certain other companies.
One thing that many reports emphasise is "wireless charging". And I have to admit that as someone living over here in Europe that seems to be a solution to yesterday's problem. Yes, certainly, when every phone manufacturer uses a different adaptor or charger interface then the idea of going away, or even out for more than eight hours, can be discomforting. For while you're out you might need charging but cannot find anyone with your interface. Or, worse, going off with your family and finding that your Nokia charger does not fit the wife's iPhone one nor the three variants of Sony, Samsung and some incredible Chinese something or other that the children have. I speak from experience here you understand. In such a situation wireless charging sounds just marvellous.
Yet, over here in Europe at least, we now have one standard phone to charger connector. The EU sat everyone down and snarled at them until they agreed (the argument was that all that copper tied up in all those different adaptors was a waste of resources). Given that wherever you go that has electricity there will be someone with a charger and that charger will charge your phone, this idea of wireless charging seems like a solution to a problem we no longer have. You might still have it, to be sure, but we don't.
A second point much remarked upon is that we don't know the prices:
The prices of the new phones, which will be available later this year, weren't immediately available.
New sexy technology is one thing. But what is the price we must pay for it? Just as examples, it would be one thing to offer something better than an Apple iPhone at a higher price that an iPhone. A daring strategy even that would be. Offering something as good as an iPhone at $50 would be a real winner. So it's not really possible to understand how good this offering is without knowing what the price points are going to be.
Then we get faster LCD screens, better camera software, the ability to use the screen with gloves on....and, well, maybe this is all terribly exciting to some segment of the public. Maybe it isn't. You can most assuredly make up your own mind as to whether it is exciting to you. But the best averaging of what everybody thinks that we have is the market. In this case, the stock market in the shares of Nokia:
The reaction from the stock markets is harsh - shares down 14% today.
Or, as my headline puts it: So, Umm, That's It Hunh?
I'm a Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute in London, a writer here and there on this and that and strangely, one of the global experts on the metal scandium, one of the rare earths. An odd thing to be but someone does have to be such and in this flavour of our universe I am. ...MORE

Cygwin, sshd and Windows 7
It seems like installing OpenSSH (sshd) on Windows 7 is a bit of a hassle. When I first upgraded to 7 from WinXP, I simply copied across my Cygwin directory and it just worked. However, it was later I realised that it would not let me log in if using public key authentication. So I decided to install it from scratch. I've always used Nicholas Fong's article when installing openssh as the procedure is quick and painless. But this is when I realised Windows 7 requires the sshd user to have extra privileges to get it work properly. The steps in the aforementioned site gets around this creating a new user called cyg_server. Personally, I don't like having extra users, so I tried to find out how to give myself the same permissions without the need to create a new user.
With these instructions, you can fix the public key authentication problem and run sshd as Administrator or an existing user (even your own user account):
- You should have already installed cygwin and openssh by now. If not, what are you waiting for? Christmas?
- Undo any previous attempts to install the sshd service:
$ net stop sshd $ cygrunsrv -R sshd $ net user sshd /DELETE # See note below $ rm -R /etc/ssh* $ mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup --local > /etc/group
# Run `net user` to find out if there's any other such users that could have run sshd – example "sshd" or "cyg_server". Delete these as well. Don't delete any default Windows ones!
- Decide on a user account that you want to run the sshd process. This can Administrator as well except its disabled on Windows 7 by default (it can be enabled by running lusrmgr.msc). For these instructions, lets say you want a user called MyUser to run sshd.
- Check existing permissions for MyUser (in case you need to roll back, keep a note of its output):
$ editrights -l -u MyUser
- Add additional privileges to allow sshd to run as a service:
$ editrights.exe -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege -u MyUser $ editrights.exe -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u MyUser $ editrights.exe -a SeTcbPrivilege -u MyUser $ editrights.exe -a SeServiceLogonRight -u MyUser
- Run ssh-host-config (don't force the -y option):
$ ssh-host-config
- Answer yes to all questions making sure when it asks "Do you want to use a different name?", say "yes" (this question is different with the -y option)
- Enter your desired username and password when you are prompted. You should *not* see any warnings. If you do, you might not have set all privileges correctly
- If all goes well, start sshd:
$ net start sshd
Disclaimer: Do this at your risk. Since your user gets these additional permissions, it may cause a few security issues (I can't see any major issues though). You can find more information on user privileges at Microsoft Technet. Tested only on Cygwin 1.7.1 and Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).
PS: For those that are curious, the cygwin scripts that automatically made the new users were /usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh and /usr/bin/ssh-host-config. Looking through those scripts made it obvious what the problem was (Function: csih_account_has_necessary_privileges()).

Siemens' newest distribution center in Mississippi
Siemens expects to increase deliver speed and create approximately 200 jobs with a new distribution center. Located just three miles from the Memphis International Airport, Siemen's newest distribution center will enable faster delivery to more customers. The center fulfills orders for electrical distribution products such as circuit breakers, load centers, panelboards and switchgear, as well as controls products and motors.
The new 619,000 square-foot facility will reportedly improve customer service by simplifying the chain of distribution and shortening the order cycle time, while reducing the costs of distribution. Approximately 10% of shipments currently are split between two or more distribution centers. This new center will result in fewer split shipments and will provide customers with the ability to view inventory in one location. The central location of the new facility will allow Siemens Industry to provide two-day shipping service to a greater percentage of its customer base.
"This centrally located facility will not only streamline our supply chain, but also will save our customers time by simplifying the ordering and shipping process," said Daryl Dulaney, president and CEO, Siemens Industry Inc. "Additionally, with this new facility, we have the ability to expand the storage capacity by 30 percent over current levels with minimal investment, allowing us to meet customer demand well into the next decade."
"I applaud Siemens for choosing Mississippi as the location for its new distribution center," said Senator Roger Wicker. "Mississippi has a strong, competitive workforce that helps our state grow as a transportation and logistics hub for the Southeast."
The distribution center, which is located in Southaven, MS, will feature Siemens technologies in its security systems, lighting and conveyor systems. The energy efficient facility is equipped with motion sensors on lights in the warehouse and offices to reduce energy consumption.

Hi there,
I've started playing at the Eastwoods Park tennis courts, near 32nd and Duval. It's free and a nice park. Anyway, I'm about a 2.5-3.0 and enjoy hitting. I could play in the afternoon or evening hours. I'm also open to hitting in other parks, but preferable north of 25th street.

Just sitting here watching the Vegas Bowl and I was thinking what are the most generic NFL Draft Pick comments you here out of the Mel Kipers, Todd McShays, etc?
Fast Riser
Value Pick
High Motor
Film Junky
Student of the Game
Character Issues
Combine Wonder
Downhill Runner
Football Smarts
One Year Wonder
Road Grader
Now with this bakers dozen of cliche comments you can act like you know something about every player in the draft.
Example: Hey bro did you hear about Donald Onkeypunch has declared for the NFL Draft?......Yeah man. I love him. We should totally draft him. Dudes got a high motor, downhill runner, instinctive, awesome intangibles, and we could get him late since he's a one year wonder and he'd be such a value pick. My only problem with him is his character issues and he's not much of a film junky from what I hear.
Anyone got anymore cliche's?

text: I'm about to start afresh with a new instance of a blank VPS, nginx only. If I just leave out the whole section about mail services from the ISPconfig manual, will it work OK? And will it affect the ISPconfig Android app? All the sites I run have been configured to ONLY use external email, mostly gmail smtp to send mail. All email services were turned off - no sendmail, nothing. Which worked fine, except I had to kill ispconfig's own cron jobs as it would sent the server load to 100% for some reason, and there were messages about the mail queue. Thanks!

(Jeff Paul - moneymaking plan or scam?)
So are there really shortcuts to make fast money online? Well in the current information age many internet marketers would love for you to believe so including a man named Jeff Paul. I just caught the second half of one of his infomercials they run about how people make quick money online. The commercial was for Jeff Paul's "Shortcuts to Millions" which includes information and websites guaranteed to make you money. The promotional ad featured "examples of success stories" from older men around an estate's luxurious swimming pool, with babes in bikinis hanging out poolside. The main hostesses were also hot babes in tight outfits, speaking in front of new sports cars about everyone's other favorite subject, money. It's unknown if the hostesses themselves were millionaires, but that's another story...
(Jeff Paul girls - Palumbo and Hayes)
Extra info: For anyone wondering, the Jeff Paul girls seen in the new commercial are brunette babe Carmen Palumbo and blond bombshell Stacey Hayes (seen above). The previous infomercial featured two busty Jeff Paul babes, Kelly Britz and Tina Milano, discussing how easily they created moneymaking websites and even taught their "girlfriends" to do the same with Jeff's easy system.
Most likely the advertisement wanted viewers to see how great life is for these guys now that they earn automatic income by making money online. As we all know sex sells and even Napoleon Hill mentioned how most men are concerned with earning money to impress women. The Jeff Paul Internet Millions ad featured various people talking about the success they had with Jeff's internet millions system. One guy mentioned how he is living his dream life, debt free after two bankruptcies and having a long walk near the edge of a cliff. You can check out Jeff's about me page here to see his rags to riches story about making money online. According to the story, he was once in debt over $140,000 but turned it all around to become an internet millionaire. Jeff showed examples of daily checks he has now generated ranging from $5,700 to $14,000. Of course the fine print at the bottom of the infomercial read "results vary".
As for shortcuts to making money online, if there were some we'd all be using them. The shortcuts usually involve a lot of time and effort or a lot of your money coming out of pocket. This particular product included guides and DVD's on "Automated Income", "Quick Start" and "10 Free Instant Website Businesses Guaranteed to Make you Money". Funny thing is that the guy selling this is showing us for free the best shortcut to generating wealth: create and sell your own product to others. If it talks about how to make money and people jump on it, you've found a shortcut, no matter if the product works or not. You can judge that by the number of Make Money Online blogs in existence, just on Entrecard alone. Jeff Paul's product is just $40, with your money guaranteed back if you don't make money. I'm not pitching his product because I've never used it and have seen some reviews & scam alerts for it online, plus as many of us know learning is free these days and many of the ideas people are selling are just collections of various information we can all find on our own, for free.
As for my own make money online recommendations, here's your quick start to make money online: Set up a blog, whether it be free with Blogger or self-hosted on Wordpress. The latter is the better option as it can provide more ways to make money. Find a profitable topic you can blog about to build your blog site around, and find products or advertising to go with it. Using those sites with Google Adsense, Affiliate programs or to market and sell your own e-book, online course or product is a definite way to make automated passive income. But be forewarned, you will need to put in some work, or some money to get it done. You'll also face competition and other obstacles, but the payoff can be quite nice if you learn how to do things for free, online.
