The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

This morning, I experienced the nerd equivalent of a Black Friday $50 iPad sale. At 07:00 CET, the first batch of the much-anticipated Raspberry Pi went on sale, and while Raspberry Pi itself was very properly prepared, the two large international retailers actually selling the device weren't - despite warnings from Raspberry Pi about the enormous amount of traffic that would come their way, the two sites crumbled to dust within seconds. There's good news too - the cheaper model A has seen its RAM doubled at no additional cost.

RE: Low cost PC potential?
by kragil on Wed 29th Feb 2012 10:54 UTC in reply to "Low cost PC potential?"
Debian and Fedora are already running on it.
I really hope these below $50 computers really catch on. Today they are still a little bit underpowered, but I guess by the end of the year we will have 1GB of RAM and a 1GHz+ dual core. (this http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ goes in that direction)
Most Facebookers don't need a big computer. A lean mean LXDE ARM box with a mali GPU will be just fine for most people. We can turn off a few nuclear power plants and don't dump that much into landfills if this is the future of computing. (Not to mention all the bad influence MS and Apple have, they won't be as powerful anymore)

Response to
and while we're at it, NG clubs were never as extreme as you're describing either. It's true they're about an inch longer but nothing like 4 inches. I'm wondering where you got this info and whether you have ever even seen or held a club from NG? I just placed a graphite shafted NG Pipeline 9 iron beside an older Wilson blade, steel shafted 9 iron and the NG 9 iron is about an inch and a half longer. Taking into account the graphite vs. the steel, there is a legitimate half inch. Plus the older Wilson blade is probably a tad shorter than a standard steel shafted iron today. So, for sure no more than an inch longer, lol.

LOUDONVILLE – Life is good for former UAlbany forward Scotty McRae.
He picked up his degree in political science on Sunday, and he's playing well for the Albany Legends of the International Basketball League.
The 6-foot-8 McRae is averaging 9.3 points and 6.0 rebounds in three games with the Legends, who play Friday against the Holland (Mich.) Blast at Washington Avenue Armory.
He had his first professional double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds against Tacoma on May 2.
"I've just been trying to fill up all the categories and make sure I'm a well-rounded player and try to get ready to go overseas," McRae said after today's practice at Siena's Alumni Recreation Center.
McRae said he's most likely to play professionally in Iceland, probably not until August.
In some ways, the athletic, active McRae is better suited for the Legends than he was for college because of the IBL's wide-open style of play. McRae averaged 5.4 points and 4.1 rebounds during his UAlbany career.
"It's really fast-paced with the 22-second shot clock," McRae said. "It's just a difference type of experience. It's much more up-and-down and much more geared to my game, I think. So I'm much more successful here on this level."
McRae was excited to get his diploma on Sunday, a satisfying conclusion to a trying two-year stint at UAlbany. He was suspended by head coach Will Brown at the end of his junior year, then the Great Danes went 7-25 this past season.
"It was really worth it," McRae said. "It was a tough two years, but I had a good time. I had a good experience. I think I learned a lot. Coach Brown was tough on me, but it's helping me at this level understand plays and where to be on the floor."

5 Essential Bird Accessories
Bird accessories are a vital part of caring for a pet bird and not knowing what you require could mean pet birds are not looked after properly. There are a few important bird supplies that you will need to keep the bird happy and healthy. To make sure your pet bird is well cared for, see the following list of 5 essential bird accessories.
Food and Water
Feeding your bird with the suitable feed and fresh water is the way to make sure the bird's health is maintained effectively. Find out exactly what nutrition your bird needs and how best to administer this. Bird seed can come in a number of forms, with some of a higher quality than others.
Bird Cages
These bird supplies are probably the first things you will buy in preparation for your new arrival. It is important that a pet bird cage is suitable for your particular breed of bird, and generally speaking, the larger the better. The pet bird cage needs to provide your pet with plenty of room and should be filled with all it needs to keep the bird entertained and healthy.
Bird cages need a few perches in them for the bird to stand on, and jump around. They are also required so that the pet bird can access its food and water bowls.
Other bird supplies for your cage include toys. It is very important that your bird remains entertained and occupied, and toys provide for this need. Each bird breed prefers a different type of toy and they come in all shapes, colours and sizes.
Bird Stands
These bird accessories are important for letting your bird have some space and exercise. By placing a bird stand in your house, you can let your bird out of the pet bird cage and allow it to fly around the room. Remember to keep all doors and windows closed so the bird can't escape.

Championship Nottingham Forest are set to name their new boss within 48 hours, with former manager Billy Davies the overwhelming favourite, reports BBC Nottingham. Davies is odds-on with nearly all bookmakers to succeed his fellow Scot.
Davies, who managed the club between January 2009 and June 2011, twice led the club to the Championship play-offs.
The 48-year-old also held talks with Blackpool over the vacant manager's position but no deal was agreed.

5 things you need to know Thursday
1. World Cup gets underway
It's time. The day Brazilians and soccer fans around the world have been anxiously waiting for. Brazil plays Croatia on Thursday to get the World Cup underway, beginning its quest for a sixth world title almost seven years after the nation was picked as host. Don't forget to vote for your favorite World Cup jersey.
For the Win's Mike Foss discusses the villains you'll love to hate at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
2. Golfers tee up at the 2014 U.S. Open
Professional golfers and almost a dozen amateurs will hit the links at North Carolina's Pinehurst No.2 to begin the 114th U.S. Open. This will be the third U.S. Open there in the past 15 years, although this time it has undergone a major renovation designed to restore it to its authentic, rugged past. By U.S. Open standards, the course is unrecognizable because there is no rough, ankle-high or otherwise. You never know, this could even be the year Phil Mickelson wins his first U.S. Open after a record six second-place finishes.
3. George H.W. Bush turns 90
Get ready to celebrate George H.W. Bush's 90th birthday on Thursday in style. Visitors to the Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University are being asked to wear their "craziest pair of socks" in honor of the 41st president's special day. The library and museum will be handing out popcorn, cake and Blue Bell ice cream to party-goers, but Bush and his wife, Barbara, aren't expected to be there. Everyone has a signature style, and for the ex-president it is his zany hosiery.
4. Bonnaroo music festival prepares to rock
The famed music festival opens on Thursday in Manchester, Tenn., and will continue through Sunday. The four-day fest features more than 125 bands and 20 comic acts performing on 13 stages. In keeping with tradition, the lineup is all over the place, most notably Elton John and Kanye West. The Preatures open the show at 3 pm ET.
5. Amazon may launch music streaming service, reports say
Amazon will join the streaming music fray with a new service available free to users of its Prime service that will launch Thursday. Amazon is said to have already received support from two of the largest music labels, Sony Music and Warner Music Group, but has yet to reach a licensing deal with Universal Music.
And, the essentials:

*Update:* A second day of controlled blackouts may not be necessary, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said early Thursday because "immediate concerns for the possibility of rotating outages this morning are reduced."
The agency still asks that customers reduce power use until 9 a.m. to lessen the possibility of blackouts.
ERCOT said it will continue to monitor the state's electric grid for lost power generation. The grid still has about 3,000 megawatts of generation out of service because of the extreme cold.
Texas grid operators are asking customers to go easy on the power usage Wednesday night between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. and from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Thursday morning because of the "strong possibility" of a repeat of rolling blackouts that hit many hundreds of thousands of customers earlier today.
The grid continues to have more than 5,000 megawatts of generation out of service due to the effect of the extreme cold, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the main grid operator for most of the state.
Peak demand tonight is forecast to hit 54,900 megawatts between 7 and 8 pm.
The forecast for tomorrow's peak load as of 5 p.m. Wednesday afternoon is 56,800 megawatts between 7 and 8 a.m. That would top ERCOT's current record for winter peak demand of 55,878 megawatts, which occurred on Jan. 8, 2010.
Up to 7,000 megawatts of power plant capacity was unexpectedly knocked offline early on Wednesday, leading the a call for planned outages throughout the state to avoid a larger failure.
At its peak up to 330,000 Houston-area customers of CenterPoint were offline.
The power emergency was called off at about 1 p.m. as more power plants were able to come back online.
Power restoration may not be immediate, however. CenterPoint spokesman Floyd LeBlanc said that outages that occurred today for more typical reasons — such as a tree falling on a power line — weren't as easily discernible to the company during the power emergency. That means it may have taken longer to get work crews out to fix those problems.
Some of the suggestions CenterPoint has for conservation today and tomorrow:
- Turn down electric furnace/heater thermostats to 68 degrees or lower;
- Limit the use of electric appliances to only those that are needed most and avoid performing non-essential chores such as laundry and running the dishwasher;
- Reducing the opening and closing refrigerators, freezers and doors.

Film/Media / Harrington School-Wide / Home Page Featured / Undergraduate Student
During spring break of the 2014 semester, Keith Brown, Lecturer in the Film/Media program, took 10 Film/Media students to the SXSW® Film Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas. Every March, SXSW brings together the creative talents of the film industry to witness, inspire, and share the visions of filmmakers from around the world.
According to Brown, some of the 10-day film festival highlights included:
- Lena Dunham's Keynote
- Casey Neistat's Keynote
- Seth Meyer's Panel
- The Premiere of Richard Linklater's "Boyhood"
- Q&A with Wes Anderson and the premiere of his new film, "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
Student Reflections
Kyle Smith, entering his senior year, says that his experience in Austin was so great, that it's hard to find the words to describe how much he enjoyed being there. "It was more than just watching movies," he said. "The entire festival was an experience. I saw so many great films, saw so many great actors and directors, heard many interesting and beneficial stories, and saw celebrities that I had been watching for years.
For Kyle, the experience was heightened for a variety of reasons including the fact that he got to travel to a part of the country he had never been to before. He was able to do things he had never done while also strengthening the friendships he had with his fellow classmates. Not only that, but he was also inspired. "While SXSW consisted of watching movies, it was also a time for self reflection." Kyle realized his own potential and found himself asking questions such as, "How can I get here?" and "How can I do this?" He said that the festival awoke a fire within that made the group want to go back, work really hard on their own films, and make something that they were going to be proud of. "My SXSW experience was not only very fun and enjoyable, but also incredibly enriching and educational—from the many great movies we saw, to the interactive Q&A sessions following the films with the director and cast. I would recommend the trip to any movie lover or someone with an interest in film and I would love to go again!"
Soon-to-be-senior Nick Neville reflected on the trip to Austin as a learning experience for which he was truly thankful for. "Being surrounded by film directors and actors made me really excited, because I know that I want to do work in the film industry after I graduate."
During the week, Nick really enjoyed the many premieres that he and the other students were able to attend, his favorite being "Boyhood". "I loved what Richard Linklater did to make this film; he started shooting in 2002 and continued until the year 2013!" Overall, being surrounded by so many famous directors and actors really opened his eyes to the industry and helped Nick to realize how special film is. On top of it all, he had a great time and made many friendships while in the process of learning about media and the film industry. "I have made so many memories from just one week that I will treasure for the rest of my life."
Christian Renzi will also be a senior in the Film/Media program with a minor in Business. His decision to attend the SXSW festival was due to his love of film and the opportunity to network and meet others in the industry. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of his life, "It truly was inspiring to see so many short films that people, who are just like me, have made and screened at the festival."
His most memorable moment was also watching Richard Linklater's film "Boyhood," where it was inspiring to see a movie focused on the same actors over a 12-year period. He also really enjoyed Robert Duvall's presentation. Christian's ultimate goal is to be able to return to the festival every year and eventually, as a filmmaker, screen his own film! "SXSW is an incredibly inspiring experience for any aspiring filmmaker."
Kyle Sidlik, who will be a senior this fall, attended SXSW because it was a great opportunity to join his friends, learn about the industry, and enjoy a full ten days of films and Q&A sessions. His most memorable moments came from running into many different actors throughout the week. He met Ethan Hawke and Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) and listened to some great Q&A sessions following each film presentation. "The whole trip was very inspirational. It gave me motivation to keep writing and making films!"
The SXSW® Film Conference & Festival was clearly a learning experience for each of the students who attended. Not only did the opportunity give them hands on experience in learning and interacting with some of the industries top creative professionals, but it also inspired them to dream big and reach for the stars.

Hey, I got a little problem with ElvUI which is driving me crazy.
As you can see on this screen, it shows 2 timers for the consolidated buffs
The lower one is ElvUI's, the upper one (which I want to keep) is from OmniCC.
Now for the problem, when I uncheck remaining time, both timers go away, but I only want ElvUI's timer to go away, and OmniCC to show.
(It's only happening on consolidated buffs.)

World's Best Cable Riders Debut Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships
Wake Park Nationals - Day 2 | Wake Park Nationals - Day 3
West Chester, OH. - For the first time in the storied history of wakeboarding's annual national championships, the world's best cable riders have joined their boat-riding counterparts with today's debut of the Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships, presented by Polaroid Action. The unique cross-over format allows park riders and boat riders to compete in both styles of wakeboarding with highly-coveted National Titles at stake. The opening day of the history-making contest took place at Wake Nation Cincinnati, just a short drive from Voice of America Park in West Chester, which is playing host to the boat riding portion of Nationals. Highlighting the first day of park action was the Junior Pro Men division. Proving to be as big a threat in the park as he is behind a boat, Noah Flegel put his freakish talent on full display dismantling the course en route to a National Title in the division. "Everyone at Nationals is so happy Nautique, Rockstar, WWA and Polaroid Action stepped up to the plate and made Wake Park a reality this year," said Chris Bischoff, competition director. "The riding today was mental and it's a solid testament to the progression of the sport to see so many cross-over athletes killing it in the park and behind the boat." Wake Park Nationals will continue tomorrow with a full day of competition including opening round heats from the Pro Men, Pro Women, Pro Wakeskate and Pro Features divisions. The Nautique & Rockstar WWA Wake Park National Championships, presented by Polaroid Action is organized by World Sports & Marketing of Orlando, Fla., and has the support of the following sponsors: Nautique Boats, Rockstar Energy Drink, Overton's, Indmar, Polaroid Action, Ronix, Billabong, Zeal Optics, CWB, Hyperlite, Liquid Force, Byerly, Peavey, Sayiwon't, Epiphone and TransWorld WAKEBOARDING magazine.

Unfortunately for the people who live and work there, south Louisiana is a living laboratory for climate change. The huge marshlands have been sinking and eroding for more than a century, ever since the leveeing of the Mississippi River cut off the marshes' supply of silt, and decades of oil and gas drilling carved them up. Meanwhile, sea level has been rising. The result is a landscape that is changing year-by-year, and week-by-week, as salt water encroaches farther inland. Authorities are hoping to save the region with huge restoration projects. But in the meantime the process continues, and climate change may ultimately put restoration hopes out of reach by accelerating sea level rise.
The Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin captures the problem in this piece about Louisiana Highway 1, one of the main roads through the sinking bayou country. It links Port Fourchon, one of the nation's major oil and gas ports and transfer points, with the rest of the nation:
Ten miles of the highway is now standing 22 feet above sea level on cement piles. But another seven miles is not, and if less than half a mile of this highway succumbs to the 14-foot storm surges expected in the future, the highway will need to be shut down, cutting off the port.
Local residents and business leaders are demanding that the federal government help pay to rebuild and elevate the remaining section of Highway 1, adding two miles to span the levees. Federal officials have provided scientific and technical expertise but will not contribute funding unless the state pledges to complete the road.
Louisiana says it doesn't have the money.

The cassette cage holding my tape in my Canon ZR65 camcorder will not release the tape. The door is open and the cage tries to move forward or backward (barely) and then stops---won't open up. I dropped my charger for my battery a few days ago---could the battery not be getting enough power to the camera to release the tape? This has never happened before.
You can test the charger using a multimeter (it has +-0.5 volts from voltage written on charger), or go to a local repair shop and have it tested.A more serious problem is if the tape is stuck inside or the release mechanism is broken. In ... Digital Cameras

It now looks like operation "Fast & Furious", the famous "Gunrunner" scheme that I pointed out long ago, when the facts started dribbling out, despite a concerted effort by the LSM to keep the story and the reason & role the 2nd Amendment haters the members of Team Obama behind it under wraps, was a run around to affect American public opinion and help the left roll back defeats to disarm the people at large, is panning out into a scandal for Team Obama, and an international one at it:
The stench from Washington is getting stronger. Rep. Darrell Issa has called for a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the festering mess known as Operation Fast and Furious.
Hatched somewhere in the bowels of the Justice Department, that misbegotten scheme had the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives deliberately allowing high-powered guns to "walk" from Arizona and elsewhere into Mexico: Our agents turned a blind eye toward the straw purchasers who were funneling the weapons to the drug cartels.
The (dumb) idea was to trace cross-border arms trafficking, and so prove the (false) claim that 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexican drug war zones originate in the US. (The real figure is closer to 17 percent.) But, as Issa's Oversight and Government Reform committee continues its investigation, that pretension has evaporated — and a major international scandal has been born.
Marisela Morales, the Mexican attorney general, estimates that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons — among them, a powerful Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle that took down a federal helicopter. Morales, who calls the program a "betrayal" of her country, told the Los Angeles Times that she first learned about Fast and Furious from news reports, and that US officials still haven't briefed their Mexican counterparts on it.
More and more people are actually accepting the obvious conclusion, left when all other avenues that have been explored have lead to dead ends, that the sole remaining purpose for this operation was so the Obama administration could blame non-existing lax US gun policies for deaths in Mexico, as the blatantly false media campaign to convince people that 80% of the guns used in the drug wars there came from the US. This was being done so they could then demand they be allowed to add and enforce tighter controls that would violate 2nd Amendment rights that would otherwise never pass muster, in order to again take the lead in the fight to disarm the people, after their agenda recently suffered a humiliating defeat in the SCOTUS. This is obviously what Obama told us was under works to get them back in business on taking guns away from people during one of his speeches.
Attempts by the LSM to ignore the story and by the Obama Administration to avoid disclosing the facts have not succeeded in preventing us from learning the facts, and we are finally getting calls for a special investigation. As Holder and other higher ups behind this all now claim amnesia, frustrated officials in the Mexican government, whom it seems where not a willing participant as was first suspected, whom weren't even briefed are themselves asking for answers. Maybe they should involve the criminal court in The Hague. I would love to see the left's reaction to that one.
She shouldn't feel lonely: The administration has been notably unforthcoming to everybody on this one. Eric Holder's Justice has engaged in a rearguard battle against Issa's committee — turning over subpoenaed documents only slowly and heavily redacted, making witnesses unavailable and transferring or retiring implicated officials such as former ATF head Kenneth Melson. Issa has publicly accused Holder & Co. of "gaming" congressional investigators.
Yet the drip, drip, drip of revelations continues. A third "Fast and Furious" gun has now been linked to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, whose death in Arizona last December at the hands of Mexican bandits started to crack the scandal open.
In addition to the ATF and the FBI, other agencies already implicated include the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the IRS. Other tidbits suggest involvement by higher-ups at the Department of Homeland Security and the White House itself.
It's a scandal, and the stench seems to come from all the way to the top. And it's going to be fun to watch the left now pretend there is nothing here or better yet, defend what now appears to be turning into a real international crime. How are they going to blame Bush? Can I say I told you so , already?

However, what this simplicity conceals is a complicated network of switches, belts, and timers. Each of these is indispensable for the continued performance of your washer. There is nothing about washing machines that the professionals at your Greensboro Appliance Repair Service don't know. They can identify problems in models dating back to the beginning of the washing machine era.
As you would expect, older washers tend to malfunction more than new ones. The motor, agitator, and timers of these complicated machines, all have to face the brunt of years of wear and tear. The Greensboro Appliance Repair Service will not only ask detailed questions about your current problem, but also about any problems your washer may have had in the past. Timer failure can cause a washer to stop working, or it may lead to problems with the functions of filling and rinsing. A washer may be rendered useless because of malfunctioning or burned-out switches However, an experienced Greensboro Appliance Repair Service can quickly take care of these problems, as part of its washer repair service.
Likewise, a simplistic cure may lead your malfunctioning dryer to exhibit strange symptoms. The Greensboro Appliance Repair Service technician always begins by applying the simplest solution. This could mean anything from putting you through to an electrician, if there is a power supply problem, to replacing a blown light bulb inside th Even though dryer repair can be a bit more complex than washer repair, many of their features are similar. The major difference is that washers are built to handle water, and driers to handle heat. The top complaint about dryers that the Greensboro Appliance Repair Service has to deal with is a lack of heat, or, in other words, dryers taking a long time to dry loads of laundry. The good part is that this problem has only a small handful of causes. So, it's very easy and cheap to fix. Dryer repair is probably not as difficult as you may have thought it to be.
Greensboro Appliance Repair Service: Moving into Your Kitchen
A refrigerator is one of the most complicated machines in your home. The refrigerator needs to be a high-performance machine, since it has to preserve as well as freeze food. In most homes, a majority of the food is stored in the refrigerator, so a breakdown is a justifiable cause for alarm. Your Greensboro Appliance Repair Service is extremely knowledgeable and reliable in their assistance and guidance. This makes them the best equipped to deal with refrigerator repair.
However, like other household appliances, what you may perceive as an impossible problem, may actually be simple to fix for an experienced Greensboro Appliance Repair Service expert. For instance, you may think you have a broken freezer, but it may just be a regular problem resulting from opening the door too often, or putting a lot of hot food inside the freezer at one time. Refrigerator "sweat" is a common problem that a lot of people face, but it can be cured easily with the re-application of a door seal. The Greensboro Appliance Repair Service can help you keep your fridge working at its best.
The maintenance and repair of small appliance ovens is another service that a Greensboro Appliance Repair Service offers. Unlike other more complex appliances, there is very little middle ground with small appliances. They either work or they don't You may not be aware of the fact that a small appliance oven cooks food using a small amount of radiation. If this were to get into the bloodstream of a small baby or a pet, it could potentially lead to illness. Your Greensboro Appliance Repair Service will deal with your small appliance repair requirements so that your oven doesn't endanger anyone.
If you have home appliances, make sure that the number of a qualified Greensboro Appliance Repair Service is on your important numbers list.

More fires flare up while cleanup starts for some
Published 6:00 pm, Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Associated Press Writer
A day after about two dozen wildfires burned about 19,000 acres across Texas, more blazes sprang up Wednesday while some residents sifted through the charred rubble of their homes.
Gary Karr spent the day moving debris away from the blackened building that was his mobile home moving business near Reno in Parker County, west of Fort Worth. The building sustained about $100,000 in damage but was not destroyed, although his pickup, much of his equipment and hundreds of tires were.
"It's just one of them things that happens," Karr said. "There's not much you can do about it, but I'm very grateful that even though we lost a lot, they saved a lot too."
His was one of about three dozen homes or businesses, mostly in Parker and Wise counties, in the path of wildfires fueled by winds of more than 50 mph in some places. Hundreds of acres of hay also were lost.
The humidity increased and winds decreased a bit Wednesday, but with conditions still ripe for fires, the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for about 60 percent of the state.
Some hot spots reignited in Tarrant and Parker counties, while some new blazes started in Young, Wise, Palo Pinto, Denton, Cooke and Johnson counties in North Texas, officials said. The Texas Forest Service helped fight fires in about a dozen East Texas counties on Wednesday. No injuries were immediately reported.
To deal with the continued wildfire threat, seven Texas Military Forces utility helicopters were activated in Austin, San Antonio and the Dallas-Forth Worth area, according to Gov. Rick Perry's office. One CH-47 helicopter is on standby in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Perry on Wednesday issued a state disaster proclamation for 152 counties, allowing them to be eligible for state assistance. Burn bans are already in place in those counties.
The largest fire was in South Texas, a 12,000-acre blaze that spread from Duval to Brooks County and was not put out until early Wednesday morning, more than 12 hours after it started. The blaze charred pastures but did not reach any homes, thanks to the work of nearly 140 firefighters from multiple agencies, officials said.
"It was one huge, massive fire," said Tony Pena, emergency coordinator and fire marshal for nearby Hidalgo County. "The wind was blowing just the right way, but it finally died down, and that really helped us."

In 2003 in the state of Wyoming, a fossilized skeleton of a stegosaurus of unknown gender was discovered in a cave and given the name "Sophie".
Her skeleton is unique in that is is 85% intact and is one of the most complete skeletons ever found. By using her bones as a launch point, I reached out to communicate with the being that once inhabited this particular body. Read the rest of this entry

I assume it is for the bin/ftp command (and man page too). I think the ftp from kth-krb4 should always be prefixed, because tnftp's (or lukemftp's) bin/ftp is essential for even using pkgsrc. So then on platforms other than NetBSD, kth-krb4 can never be installed (and others depending on it, like xdm-krb4). Then for other commands (like su and telnet), Johnny C. Lam suggested to me a few days ago about adding a build option to the mit-krb5 package. His suggestion was for a KRB5_PREFIX_CMDS setting. But maybe it can be extended for Kerberos 4 or 5. Using his idea ...

GET Curriculum Workshop explored best practices for experiential learning
In 2008, Syracuse University and JPMorgan Chase & Co., through a unique university-industry collaboration, piloted the Global Enterprise Technology (GET) program. As information technology curricula must adapt to rapid changes in the workplace and in an ever-expanding global marketplace, this interdisciplinary curriculum was built on a foundation of practice-based learning theory and designed around the themes of relevance, integration of theory and practice and academic-industry partnerships.
The GET curricula are now expanding beyond the Syracuse University campus. On May 25, a GET Curriculum Workshop, exploring the best practices for experiential learning, was held at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center. More than 69 faculty and career services staff members from 28 universities, and eight industry professionals from four organizations, attended.
The workshop brought together these academic and industry leaders to explore the gap in providing the foundational knowledge, skill and insight needed to work effectively in large, technology-driven global organizations; explore new, transformational models of industry-academic partnership; and to develop and broaden a GET community of employers and educators.
The workshop opened with a presentation of the current state of the GET program and the foundation of research in experiential learning that informs the curriculum and program design.
A panel of industry representatives from Ernst & Young, JPMorgan Chase, IMB and Nationwide Insurance discussed the role of GET interns who worked for their organizations through the eight month GET Immersion Experience, a signature of the GET Program. Panelists said they were not only glad to contribute to the training of young professionals, but also that their organizations learned better ways of working by hosting GET interns.
Workshop participants met students who had participated in the GET Immersion Experience and asked questions regarding the challenges and opportunities they faced, reinforcing the theme that experiential, work-based learning is a critical part of educating students in the large-scale, highly complex business challenges faced by global organizations.
Keynote speaker Christopher Kayes, professor of management at George Washington University, talked about learning-based leadership. Kayes engaged participants in reflection on their most meaningful learning experiences and presented research findings on the differentiating qualities of the most successful managers. Kayes' message focused on the value of ambiguity and diversity in the learning experience, and he highlighted how programs like GET capitalize on the way students learn in order to provide rich development opportunities that cannot be replicated in the classroom.
Five breakout sessions were held during the workshop, addressing various aspects of implementing and improving the GET Program. Topics discussed included:
- choosing the best majors and best roles for technology work-based learning opportunities;
- experiential learning—leveraging the work context;
- attracting students to the immersion experience;
- making a multiple university—multiple internship model work; and
- integrating two-year transfer students into work-based learning initiatives.
The breakout sessions at the conference successfully identified new ways to expand and strengthen the GET program to allow more students access to a curriculum that provides a major advantage in competing for and being successful in global technology-driven organizations.
Themes from the breakout sessions included finding ways to match students of diverse educational backgrounds to roles in the GET program; best practices for communicating the value of the program to students, parents, faculty and administrators; leveraging experiential learning to maximize a student's learning outcomes; building robust relationships with industry partners; and the steps a university should take to implement the program at their campus.
Suggestions for new directions for leveraging work-based learning included providing alternative, on-campus work-based opportunities; industry/academic collaboration on assessment instrumentation; and creating multidisciplinary cohorts of three to four students for each immersion experience placement.
As a result of the workshop, several universities have begun the process of becoming GET Program affiliates and will join SU and others in giving their students the opportunity to take GET Curriculum courses and participate in the immersion experience.

How to Eat Like a Child: A Musical Romp Through Childhood by Cara KramerSeptember 22, 2015
HOW TO EAT LIKE A CHILD is based on the Viking book of the same name by Delia Ephron. The musical version began its life as an NBC prime time special starring Dick Van Dyke (the chimney sweep in MARY POPPINS). It was an immediate hit in schools, camps and community centers everywhere and has enjoyed thousands of productions all over the the US, Canada and many other countries where kids smuggle their least favorite vegetables to the garbage instead of eating them.
Ensemble cast, Reduced casting (Doubling Possible), Expandable casting, Flexible casting, Room for Extras
"How To Eat Like A Child" is designed for a cast of typical school kids aged 5-15. It works especially well when the group includes a spectrum of ages. For instance, "I Feel Sick" features three sisters - big, medium, and little. "We Refuse To Fall Asleep" is started by the older "ringleaders" and ends with one kindergartner as the last one awake. The character names listed here are the actual names of the children in the Original production. So, in each specific production, characters should be referred to by their own names.

Medium: Painting
Subject Tags: expressive impressionistic realism, contemporary, abstract, portraiture
Size: 16"W x 20"H x 0.75"D
Year Created: 2010
My Paintings (in most cases) can best be described as expressionistic and surreal portraiture/figure, often larger than life. Most are from live models and from my sculptures, but others come from my imagination. My objective is to elicit an emotional response through composition, color, shapes and the application of paint, while at the same time retaining the correct anatomy, either realistically or through purposeful exaggeration. In recent years, I have pushed the envelope by combining abstraction with these real and surreal approaches to the figure in order to create a synergistic result.
Many of my ideas come from my drawings (virtually thousands of them) which are created out of my head on almost a daily basis. An example of this is The lady in Black.
Much of my work (including many of my drawings and sculptures) can be viewed at www.steveshear.net.
Steve Shear has been painting and drawing for over 30 years. He originally trained starting in the 1980s in the San Francisco Bay Area at the studio of Jean Packard, a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute. He spent two summers at the Charles Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy painting and drawing the figure from casts and models using the "sight-size" technique, and devoted several years studying anatomy at the Boulder Art Academy under L.V. Davis. Steve also painted with Boris Shoshensky, a Moscow educated painter who exhibits in Colorado, and with Valentine Okorokov, another Moscow educated artist, both a sculptor and painter, who exhibits in Denver and Boulder, Colorado as well as in Vail, Aspen and Santa Fe, New Mexico.. While in Colorado, Steve exhibited at the Zwolf gallery in Denver and the Gallery Sovereign in Boulder and was represented by the Boulder Gallery on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. His paintings can be seen at his website, steveshear.net.
