Robin Meltzer's campaign to win the Richmond Park constituency in south-west London back from the Conservatives in May 2015 recevied a boost last night when Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg spoke at a fundraising dinner at the Russell family's old home of Pembroke Lodge. Apart from singing the prospective parliamentary candidate's praises, Nick particularly emphasized the pro-European message of the Liberal Democrats. Though the Party believes the EU would benefit from reform, it would, in Nick's words, be a disaster for the UK to leave. This means that the Liberal Democrats really will pin their European colours to the mast in next May's European elections — for the first time ever, if truth be told, despite the fact that the electorate knows where the Party stands on the issue. Because of the nature of Richmond Park constiuency and, let's be frank, the affluence of most of the people attending last night's dinner, there were some sharp questions about the proposed "mansion tax" on properties worth over £2 million pounds. But Nick held his ground on this and insisted that it was only right that the most wealthy help pay for the government policies that have been lifting millions of the poorest people out of tax all together. The junior Education Minister, David Laws, was the back-up speaker, not surprisingly highlighting the pupil premium and other Coalition government policies aimed at th less wll-off — and all Liberal Democrat initiatives. Robin Meltzer should get a pointer as to how the mood amongst voters in the constiuency is developing next May, when the borough elections take place alongside the Euro-poll. But the many thousands of pounds raised at the dinner will give him and the local party a shot in the arm and will lead to a campaign office being set up in Richmond once again.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - On Saturday and Sunday, the Yale men's fencing team took part in its first competitive tournament of the year, the Penn State Open, in State College, Pa. In the individual tournament, the Bulldogs performed well, with four of their six foilists finishing in the top 16. Nathaniel Botwinick finished fourth in foil, Colin Mills finished seventh in saber, and the team as a whole defeated Harvard fencers over ten times over the course of the tournament. Taylor Gregorie-Wright fenced very well and made it into the top 16 before losing to two-time NCAA champion Andras Horanyi.
"The foil team, lead by Nat's fourth place finish, had a great performance today," said captain Andrew Holbrook. "We were all glad to see that we'll be able to count on them this coming season. The saber team had a solid result with Colin's top eight finish and Nate and Adam both making it to the final round of pools. There were some disappointments on the day, but as our first tournament of the season, it's a great time for us to take stock and reassess aspects of our fencing and training programs. We're all looking forward to making the most of our time before the Brandeis Invitational."
To put the Bulldogs' results in perspective, the only team to have more than four foilists in the top 16 finishers at the tournament was perennial fencing powerhouse, Notre Dame. Botwinick reflected on his individual performance and that of the foil squad:
"I'm very happy with the foil squad's result today," he said. "We proved that we're among the best in the nation. It was great to finally be able to compete again, I tore two ligaments and cracked several bones in my foot over the summer getting ready for National Championships, and this was my first competition after not being able to properly train over the summer, so I'm not too upset with my result."
Sophomore Adam Fields of the saber squad commented on the performances of the freshman saberists, for whom this was the first competition at Yale.
"Although this was the first competition fencing at Yale for
three of our saber fencers, I was very impressed by their fencing,"
he said. "On the fencing strip, we were able to finish our attacks
and get our momentum going early in each bout. Off the fencing
strip, cheering for one another and giving each other advice for
our next bouts was crucial for advancing in each stage of the
tournament. With our strong finishes today and our hard work in the
next few weeks, I am confident that our saber squad will be ready
to help carry the fencing team in our first team competition coming
up at Brandeis in December."

Algae likely to linger, but there is hope for reservoir
Staff writer
Although Marion Reservoir's toxic algae status was downgraded Friday from a warning to a less severe advisory, the lake's shallowness and proximity to farmland mean the problem may never go away.
Still, an expert who has been studying the lake since 2007 thinks there may be ways to reduce algae growth and dangers posed to humans and animals.
According to Philip Barnes, assistant professor of biological and agricultural engineering at Kansas State University, the reservoir is among the most commonly warned bodies of water in the state because it provides an almost perfect environment for algae.
Farm runoff, high in nitrogen and phosphorous, creates nutrient-rich sediment where blue-green algae (actually are bacteria) can thrive.
Because the reservoir is relatively shallow, Barnes said, the water remains warm, and when there is little movement of water, it separates into layers.
"We have found that the layer just before the bottom contains no oxygen," he said. "This changes the pH (acidity) and releases phosphorous — which, combined with the sunlight, creates the perfect environment for the bacteria to grow."
Barnes and his students are working on solutions.
"Among the things we're looking at are special pumps that stir the water to keep it from becoming stagnant," he said. "These would be placed near where drinking water is gathered to keep the algae out and cut down on treatment costs."
After the reservoir's first prolonged algae warnings 10 years ago, both Marion and Hillsboro, which draw drinking water from the reservoir, invested in most costly treatment processes after briefly having to warn residents not to drink algae-tainted water.
Peggy Blackman, coordinator for Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy at the reservoir, is looking to get cities that receive drinking water from the reservoir to help pay for pumps and Solar B aeration units. She will meet with them Sept. 9.
Solar B units are giant water filters that would add oxygen to the water much like a typical fish filter does.
Treating the whole reservoir would be prohibitively expensive, Barnes said, but he and his students are working on other ways to lessen algae's impact. One could be as simple as giving the lake a stress-reducing massage, much like recent rains.
"We're looking at a device that can be attached to the front of a boat that vibrates at different frequencies," he said. "That device is in the trial stage, but we've had good results with it in the lab, and all someone would have to do is drive a boat back and forth across the water."
Chemical solutions might be available, too, but they might be prohibitively expensive.
"With over 6,000 bodies of water in the state, we need something that people can actually afford to use, even on small livestock ponds," Barnes said.
The reservoir's downgraded status means the lake was reopened Friday to boating and swimming, although health officials still cautioned against drinking or directly contacting untreated lake water.
Experts disagree on the exact toll blue-green algae, technically known as cyanobacteria, has taken on humans. The World Health Organization and some global researchers have attributed human deaths to cyanobacteria. In the United States, however, only deaths of dogs and cattle have been universally accepted as linked to blue-green algae.
"The cattle dying was a realizations that the warnings are needed and larger animals can get sick and/or die from ingesting or absorbing the toxins released from the bacteria," he said. "When the warning signs are put up, it means the algae levels are high enough we believe people could get sick from absorbing the water. By that time, they are way past the levels safe for pets."
Reservoir clerk Torey Hett said two dogs became sick and died because of cyanobacteria at the reservoir.
"It's a very serious problem we need to look at, and the people who are looking at it are sure they can find a solution in the future," Hett said. "They, however, don't think they will be able to start implementing that solution anytime soon."
Funding for Barnes research has been suspended by Marion County because of billing issues.
"It's a real shame, because without the funding to get the data I can't show we need the grants to get more funding," Blackman said.

Africa Qualifying Wrap: Cape Verde go through
Cape Verde Islands beat Tunisia 2-0 to progress to the next round of FIFA World Cup qualifying at their opponent's expense.
Platini opened the scoring for Cape Verde in the 28th minute, before Ramos Nhuck doubled the advantage three minutes before half-time.
Cape Verde held on to their lead throughout the second half, leapfrogging their opponents in the process and advancing to the next stage by virtue of finishing as one of 10 group winners in the CAF section of World Cup qualifying.
Those group winners will be now drawn against each other in five two-legged ties to decide who will travel to Brazil next year, with Burkina Faso also sealing their place in the final round with a 1-0 win over Gabon.
Prejuce Nakoulma scored the only goal nine minutes after the break to send his side through at the expense of Congo, who could only draw 2-2 with Niger.
Mahamane Cisse gave Niger the lead on 34 minutes, with Fabrice Nguessi equalising for Congo midway through the second half.
Daouda Kamilou put Niger in front for a second time on 70 minutes, before Congo levelled through Ulrich Kapolongo with 15 minutes remaining.
Senegal did enough to progress after defeating Group J rivals Uganda 1-0.
A win for Uganda would have seen them qualify ahead of Senegal, but they faced an uphill struggle when Godfrey Walusimbi was shown a straight red card in the 36th minute.
The winner came courtesy of Sadio Mane six minutes from time as Senegal made it safely through.
Ethiopia's passage was less assured as they had to come from behind against Central African Republic to seal their spot in the final round.
Central African Republic went ahead through Salif Keita midway through the first half, but second-half strikes from Saladin Said Ahmed and Menyahel Teshome ensured Ethiopia's progress.
That prospect looked distinctly uncertain at half-time, with South Africa well on their way to the 4-1 win they needed to jump above Ethiopia if had lost.
Nigeria were another side to seal their passage into the final round as they defeated 10-man Malawi 2-0.
A win for Malawi would have seen them qualify, but an Emmanuel Emenike goal in first-half stoppage time and a Victor Moses penalty on 51 minutes saw Nigeria through.
Ivory Coast, already through, drew 1-1 at home with Morocco. Elsewhere in the group, a Mustapha Jarju brace saw Gambia seal a 2-0 home win over Tanzania.
In Group J, Angola thrashed Liberia 4-1 with neither side in with a chance of qualification.
Elsewhere, Sierra Leone ended their campaign with a win as goals from Mustapha Bangura, Ibrahim Kargbo and Alhassan Kamara saw them defeat Equatorial Guinea 3-2 in a dead rubber.

Synopsis: Inspired by stories from the fantasy graphics magazine Heavy Metal, this five-part animated feature combines the talents of hundreds of artists and animators from 17 different countries. A glowing green orb called Loc-Nar that contains the sum total of all evil in the universe travels through space and time, spreading violence and discord in its wake. The stories that follow demonstrate Loc-Nar's malevolent presence throughout the universe. In New York in the year 2023, cabbie Harry Canyon picks up a fare who turns out to have Loc-Nar in her possession, and it turns out to be one trip he wishes that he had never made. In contemporary suburban America, a nerdy high school kid finds the orb in his backyard and is transported to a comic-book universe where he's a mighty warrior and famous spoiler of women. A robot created by an alien race falls in love with a secretary from Earth who was kidnapped by his masters, while she is at once fascinated and repelled by his sexual talents. And finally, Loc-Nar crashes into a mountain, and a world of fantasy and danger spontaneously appears in its wake, ruled by The Defender, a beautiful amazon who rides on a giant bird. The voice cast for Heavy Metal includes John Candy, Harold Ramis, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Richard Romanus, and John Vernon. The sound track features selections by Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Nazareth, Cheap Trick, Devo, and Grand Funk Railroad.

Welcoming international students
60 first-year students come from 17 countries
September 28, 2012
By Diane Hageman
Excitement and trepidation were likely two emotions that filled the air as a group of international students left the hustle and bustle of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and made their way to two picturesque campuses in Central Minnesota.
Instead of stepping out of the vehicle wondering where to go next, they were greeted enthusiastically by a group of College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University international student mentors.
That was the scene for 32 CSB and 28 SJU incoming first-year international students as they arrived to begin classes at the end of August. For them, it's not just a vacation; it's an opportunity to learn in a whole new culture.
"This year, our first-year international students came from 17 different countries with the largest groups coming from China, Japan and the Bahamas," said Nichole Matuska, assistant director of the international student program office at CSB and SJU. "Our mentors work with eight to 10 mentees and we try to pair them with incoming students from their own countries or nearby."
Anthonique Hanna, a senior economics major from Nassau, Bahamas, and Lichuan (Tony) Liang, a senior economics and mathematics double-major from Yingkou Liaoning, China, are two of the seven mentors Matuska oversees in the international student mentor program.
"I wanted to be a mentor because of the wonderful experience I had when I first came here. My mentor was from the Caribbean so it was really easy and comfortable," said Hanna, who is in her second year as a mentor. "I also know what it's like coming here and feeling lonely."
The mentors had all made contact with their mentees before they arrived on campus so the relationships were already started before they met. "The students want to really embrace the experience and they know we are here for them," Hanna said.
"My mentor was so hospitable and I have the type of personality who wants to help people as best as I can," Liang said. "This job is perfect for me."
It's not uncommon for colleges to encourage students to reach out and welcome incoming international students, but few colleges have a program as structured as the one at CSB and SJU, according to Matuska. One reason is that the program is structured as a work-study experience. The students are paid and have an extensive set of expectations that are laid out by Matuska and Lisa Scott, the academic adviser for all international students.
The busiest time for the mentors is the fall semester, particularly at the beginning of the year. They are there to greet their mentees, assist them as they settle into the residence halls and accompany them as assigned during orientation.
"We have a couple of days of orientation with just the international students in an exclusive environment," Hanna said. "Before they meet and mix with the American students, we can coach them on what to expect, particularly regarding the cultural differences."
Other duties range from giving their mentees a tour of St. Joseph and setting up individual meetings once a semester to sending birthday greetings and well wishes during finals week. All of their activities are recorded and reported back to Matuska and Scott.
The program has been deemed successful in a variety of ways. The first-year students have responded very favorably to the structure of the program and their mentors.
"I think having this program is pretty smart. They gave us someone we can talk to, to trust," said Addafini Abdoulaye, who hails from Cameroon. "I absolutely adore my mentor, Anthonique. I have never met anyone quite like her before."
Survey feedback from the first-year students has been strong. When questioned during fall semester 2011, 45 of 48 students who filled out the survey rated their mentors either "very helpful" (31) or "helpful" (14).
Also, retention of the international students from the first to second year (the most common time for someone to drop out or transfer schools) is 88 percent, identical to the total first-to-second year class retention ratio for all students at CSB and SJU.
The structure of the program has also made it a popular work-study job choice, particularly for international students.
"Everyone wants to work in our office," Hanna said. "It's extremely competitive. The students really look up to us. I feel it's a good résumé booster because I have worked with so many different people from different cultures.""I believe this experience will prove to employers that I am a good team player," Liang said. "I already found it beneficial when I was working in meetings with clients during my internship last summer."

Yale Faces Brown Saturday At 5:30 p.m.
- Live Stats
- Yale All-Access Video
- Brown Soccer Site
- Ivy League Standings
- WTNH News 8 New Haven Weather
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The final home game of the season has important implications for the Yale men's soccer team. The Bulldogs enter Saturday's contest with Brown still very much in contention for the Ivy League championship. A loss to the Bears, though, would end Yale's title aspirations. Kickoff on Senior Day at Reese Stadium is slated for 5:30 p.m. following the Yale-Brown women's game.
The Bulldogs (7-6-2, 3-2 Ivy) currently sit one point behind Dartmouth and Brown and two in back of first-place Cornell.
Chris Dennen, Marcus DiLallo, Aden Farina-Henry, Andy Hackbarth, Charlie Neil, Charlie Paris and Brad Rose, Yale's seven seniors, will all be playing their final regular season home game. The Class of 2012 has played a huge role in the success the Bulldogs have enjoyed this season. The game-winning goal in five of Yale's seven victories has come from a senior.
Dennen, the team captain, has started all 15 games and has provided outstanding leadership. He scored the only goal of the game in the win over Harvard, and also had a goal and an assist in the thrilling victory at Penn. As a junior, he was one of only three players to start all 17 games and helped anchor a defense that posted four shutouts and allowed one goal or less nine times. In his sophomore year he was the recipient of the Frank Dunne Award as Yale's most improved player, and as a rookie in 2008 he appeared in 14 games and scored his first career goal against Cornell.
DiLallo has been a mainstay on Yale's defense throughout his career. This season he also has made a contribution on offense. His long throw-ins have helped him notch five assists, which ties for the team lead. The biggest one came on Dennen's goal against Harvard. As a junior he started six games and the first two points of his career came in his sophomore year – assists against Adelphi and St. Francis, N.Y. In his freshman year he started the first seven games of the season.
Farina-Henry has overcome injuries in his career to be one of Yale's top scoring threats. This season, he scored Yale's goal in a 1-1 tie with Fairleigh Dickinson and also tallied as assist in the victory over Central Connecticut. He was unable to play in 2010 due to injury, but appeared in 16 games as a junior in 2009. His goal against Boston College was the game-winner. As a sophomore, he earned honorable mention All-Ivy recognition after leading the team with four goals, despite being limited to six games. As a freshman he tied for second on the team in goals.
Hackbarth, who has missed all of his senior season with an injury, earned honorable mention All-Ivy recognition in each of his first three years and has started all but one game he has appeared in. As a junior last fall, he was one of only three players to start all 17 games and scored two goals, both on penalty kicks. In his sophomore year, he anchored the Yale defense and contributed two goals, and as a freshman he tied for third on the team in goals (2) and tied for fifth in points (5).
Neil has been a regular in the Yale lineup throughout his career, appearing in 51 games. This fall, he has two goals, including the game-winner against Quinnipiac. He also scored in the big Ivy League victory over Dartmouth. As a junior, he played in 10 games and assisted on the winning goal against Lehigh. In his sophomore year he scored against SMU and set up the game-winning goal at Boston College. As a rookie in 2008, he appeared in 16 games, the most of any freshman. His first career goal came against Cornell that year.
Paris has enjoyed a break-out season this fall. After appearing in only six games in his first three years, he has played in all 15 as a senior, including making 10 starts. Two of his three goals have been game-winners, including one in overtime in the thrilling victory at Penn. That performance earned him Ivy League Player of the Week honors. He also had the winning goal against Dartmouth. His first career goal came in the win over Marist.
Rose returned this fall after missing virtually all of last season with an injury. His presence was immediately felt as he tallied an assist in the season-opening win over Central Connecticut. He then added two goals and two assists against Marist and was named the Ivy League Player of the Week. In all, he has scored 11 goals in his career. In 2009, he earned second team All-Ivy recognition after leading the team with 16 points. As a freshman in 2007, he tied for the team lead in assists, was second in points and tied for second in goals.
Brown (9-4-2, 3-1-1 Ivy) is unbeaten in its last five games. T.J. Popolizio leads the team with eight goals, while Sean Rosa has added four goals. The Bears have outscored their opponents 7-3 in the first half this season.

MySQL, disks I/O and SSD drives
MySQL, disks I/O and SSD drives
We have a LAMP box with 2x mirrored 1 TB WD Black Caviar disks running the whole OS and MySQL. 8 GB / RAM, 2x quad core CPUs.
We're really taxed on disk I/O, and I've been thinking of suggesting getting a couple SSD drives in there for
/var/lib/mysql, and be done with it. I did a little research, and I like the price point of the Intel X25-M 160 GB, but I've read conflicting options about SSDs in production.
We are at ~70 GB, mostly MyISAM tables (> 95%). We are doing mostly reads during production (8-5 p.m.), mostly writes overnight (12 a.m. - 8 a.m.).
There have been some helpful posts on here before about SSDs in production, but I think the better ones are a bit dated (the best one was in 2008). Is there more up-to-date feedback on whether SSDs are really ready for medium sized businesses? If not, how can I scale our database server a little better?

UCLA Anderson Assistant Professor Felipe Caro received recognition as a Franz Edelman Laureate for achievement in operations research and the management sciences. The recognition comes from INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences) and is given to the authors of the finalist papers in the Franz Edelman competition. Laureates are recognized for their significant contribution to work that is selected as representative of the best applications of analytical decision making in the world.
Caro's was recognized for work he did with the Spanish retail giant, Zara. Caro and co-author Jérémie Gallien of MIT-Sloan looked at inventory issues facing Zara and used operations research to optimize its distribution process and increase in-season sales by an estimated three to four percent - in excess of $230 million in 2007 and $350 million in 2008.
"My motivation was to build an inventory allocation model that was well-grounded on the real problems faced by a large-scale apparel retailer," Caro explained. "We're gratified that we made a contribution to the academic literature and that Zara verified the research and was able to make better business decisions as a result."
Caro and Gallien just completed a second project with Zara on markdown pricing during clearance sales.
In 1998, UCLA Anderson Professor Kumar Rajaram received like honors for his and his colleagues work with Cerestar, Europe's leading manufacturer of starch-based products.

A high school acquaintance of the gunman in Sunday's mass shooting in Orlando said Omar Mateen was a "regular dude" until the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"He started acting crazy, joking around the fact that 9/11 happened, making plane noises on the school bus and pretending he was slamming into the building," said Robert Zirkle, who rode the school bus every day with Mateen in Stuart, Fla., 15 years ago.
"He was happy that Americans were dying. He made that very clear. I don't know if he was always a Muslim radical, but he was excited, hyped up. We were all, like, 'What are you talking about?'" Zirkle recalled.
Ken J. Mascara, the sheriff of St. Lucie County in Florida, said Thursday that the man who carried out the massacre at an Orlando nightclub was removed from his job as a security guard at the county's courthouse in 2013 after he made inflammatory comments about women, Jews and the mass shooting at Ft. Hood.
Here is Mascara's statement:
"Omar Mateen was one of multiple contracted security guards that rotated through the St. Lucie County Courthouse as part of a contract with G4S Secure Solutions USA Inc.
The motives of this killer may have been different than mass shooters in Aurora or Newtown, but the instruments of death were so similar.
In Orlando, Fla., President Obama referred to Donald Trump's recent claim that more lives could have been saved at Pulse if more patrons were armed themselves. Such a notion "defies common sense," he said, without naming Trump.
Obama said he was pleased the Senate would hold votes on gun safety measures, one day after Democrats waged a filibuster to force the issue.
Earlier, Obama met with the owners and staff of the Pulse nightclub, a place, he said, to "be who you truly are." The attack, an "act of hate," was an opportunity for Americans to reflect on how we treat one another, Obama said.
Obama said the nation would continue to be relentless in its fight against terrorist networks like Al Qaeda and Islamic State. But he noted that attacks in Orlando, Fla., and San Bernardino were perpetrated not by sophisticated cells but so-called lone wolves, requiring a different approach.
"We can't anticipate or catch every single deranged person who may wish to do harm," he said. "But we can do something about the damage they do."
As he embraced the victims' families, Obama said they pleaded for him to do more.
Orlando's response to the Pulse shooting massacre is a reminder "of what is good" about America, President Obama said in an emotional tribute to the victims Thursday.
After hours-long meetings with their families and survivors of the deadly attack, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden traveled to a makeshift memorial to leave bouquets of 49 white roses -- one for each life lost -- among the other flowers, balloons and photos that have collected there.
In brief remarks to reporters after, Obama said those lost "showed us what is best about humanity."
Republican Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday that President Obama is "directly responsible" for the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla,, because Obama has allowed the growth of Islamic State group on his watch.
McCain — who lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election — made the comment to reporters while Obama was in Orlando visiting with the families of those killed in Sunday's attack and some of the survivors.
"Barack Obama is directly responsible for it, because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, Al Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obama's failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq," a visibly angry McCain told reporters in the Capitol as the Senate debated a spending bill.
The medical examiner who oversaw the autopsies of the 49 victims in the Pulse nightclub shooting says he kept their bodies separated from the gunman's body.
Dr. Joshua Stephany said in a statement Thursday that the remains of gunman Omar Mateen were being held in a building separate from the victims.
He also says the gunman's autopsy was conducted in a separate building from the victims'.

Thanks to these organizations for making possible this event:
(KETS: KDE Edu Technical Session)
It will be in the ETSI (Higher Technical School of Engineering) of Bilbao. It's 2 minutes walking from Termibus, and 1 min to the tram and metro. See map.
As on Saturday afternoon and Sunday the ETSI is closed, we'll go to the office of Reciclanet, a local Free Software group. We'll give instructions about how to reach its headquarters, but it's about 25 min by train from the hotel, or 15 min from ETSI.
Hotel Sirimiri is a two stars one, with gym and sauna (not included in payment). See map.
It's just 1 min to the tram, 5 mins to the metro.
Apart from this, there is a public swimming pool (sigle ticket 5,80 €) just 3 mins from the hotel.
The tram and the metro (or subway) are the best transports to move between the Termibus, ETSI and hotel. It's recommended to buy a 5 € card ("Creditrans") for the 5 days, valid for both the tram and metro.
You've got to check-in the Creditrans before getting on the tram.
Key tram stations:
Both of them are the last stations, so nobody will get lost :)
You've got to check-in the Creditrans before getting on and after getting off the metro.

The goals of this session are:
With 17 participants from different parts of the globe like Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Romania, Canary Islands, Catalonia, Madrid, Seville and Valencia, the sprint was a mix of reflections on educational applications, programming in C + +, Qt and KDE, testing and design of the new web KDE Edu.
The session began with a brief introductory talk by Javier Quintana on the technical means used to connect our PCs to the network, read emails and prepare outstanding notebooks with new software . As the afternoon passed more people add to the room.
The atmosphere was relaxed in the living room, chats arose spontaneously, we discussed new projects, programming concepts were explained, programmers (silent people) wrote code with lots of peace and the number of cables grew almost exponentially with the arrival of a new participants.
After some problems with the projector, a classic, but it succeeds in presenting the "petit commit" the new KDE Web beautiful Edu, by Elena and will soon be available for you all.
After eight o'clock, we headed to Hotel Sirimiri (a simple, comfortable and central hotel well connected) to leave our bags and start the social aspect of Sprint. It's when he joined Tomaz Canabrava the event.
This part can be summarized in two simple phrases: fine dining in Txomin Barullo restaurant and walk back through the old to make a drink, but the day has been long and hard, we retired to chambers Links Partners pretty soon.
Finally, a first day of contact, to break the ice and lay the foundations for the work of the long weekend ahead.
It starts on the second day begins with a social breakfast (everything we do together and not be in front of a screen is labeled "social"), an underground excursion to and arrival at the classroom work. Fairly quickly the world gets to work on their projects. It is time to make short presentations to the audience (but good). The Open Session begins with the introduction of Aleix Pol, to welcome and thank the attendees at this event promoting KDE Edu.
Flavio then Moringa us Caixa Magica , a computer for children and teachers from 4 to 12 years that works based on the KDE desktop. Certainly a very interesting project because it has real experience and a KDE-based desktop
After a few questions and offering assistance of the KDE developers to the project, in turn begins Enrique Hernandez, who has Bardinux .
The following presentations are the Lighting Talks, ie the lightning talks. The Canabrava Tomaz started with Rocs , com explaining the application works and utility.
Follow Step , the physical simulator, presented by Sebastian Vöcking, which performs several shows and open ejempplos showing its potential as a solar system simulator or the evaporation of a liquid particle.
Then comes the turn for KStars , the planetarium for KDE, which is presented Carbune Victor's hand. In the brief discussion presents the OpenGL engine in the future will use this application you will be more fluid and beautiful. Also announced the inclusion of educational modules in future releases and teaches us that the help of KStars is a great source of astronomical information. Is a brief technical stop and is used to take a break.
After coffee break is the turn to Torsten Rahn, featuring the great Marble , which he calls "The virtual globe for the people." A brief introduction where we highlighted the virtues of the application: maps, forecasts, data, etc.. Finally, it shows us what's new Marble 1.1, which is about to appear, such as mapping assistant or basic wizard voice navigation. Turn comes KAlgebra ,calculator and more of my friend Aleix Pol. In a brief presentation, shows the full potential of the application to use colors, aid co-textual, or complicated operations when developing special mathematical graphs.
Finally, it presents a good Aleix show virtuasismo computer: your Linux laptop to connect via wifi laptop to show Agustín Benito edu KDE applications on Windows, a necessary possibility to use these great applications on almost any computer. It also shows the KAlgebra versiónd of mobile devices.
Then the most spectacular demonstration, the project for tablets Active Plasma, running on openSUSE 11.4 on a Lenovo tablet. I refer to a recent entry to see the project and see a video of it. Finally, Tomaz made a wonderful presentation on KDE collaborate on education and the reasons for doing so. Barefoot on stage, explains the beginning of the collaboration of Anne-Marie Mahfouf, without programming knowledge has become a major contributor to KDE Edu. His final message (no text) is as follows:
"If you like free software, working doing something, be it programming, whether designing, either translating, either promoting, either by providing ideas, etc.. Come and have fun with us "
Alex Fiestas from the audience adds:
"KDE is cool because we do what we do with love"
And you are quite right.
Finally, around 7 pm, with a few simple words Aleix farewell grateful for the assistance and summons us to the night (and, of course, social)
Return to the hotel on the tram that travels parallel to the enchanting River Bilbao, descansamosuna time and we will see the musical performance at the Ateneo Hika and then back through the old part of Bilbao to eat some tapas, led by the team of Itsas, led by the magnificent Danitxu.
In short, a very intense day with very positive results.
The day begins with some parallels with previous social breakfast, travel to the ETSI (this time in the tram) and rapid commissioning of the equipment to continue the work. As usual the group is silent, absorbed in their email lists, news, virtual social relationships, of course, the programming code. We are all sitting at our desks, as if we were students, feeling that was reinforced by the presence of Javi on the stage of the classroom. There was some joke about going to the bathroom, he asked permission to the improvised teacher. While each developer was focused on their applications, Alex works with Elena to continue polishing the KDE Edu new website (which as already explained, will soon be on their monitors).
Returning begins to analyze the different GSOC projects that KDE Edu team can tutoring. We talk about the candidates, the objectives, which can add and opens a space for dialogue on the general ideas that should govern KDE Edu. I must confess that I lost a bit but I found it very interesting. Time passes quickly when you're engaged in your business, so the lunch lelga sooner than we wanted. Furthermore, due to organizational reasons we leave and move our equipment Faculatad a new workplace, Reciclanet, a place that will surprise us all.
We went to a bar near the College and received a new member of the Sprint, Frederik Gladhorn, developer of Parley. After lunch (social and, as always, very interesting and fun) we take the subway and met with Emet, which acompany us to Reciclanet located in a building full of great local (without being industrial buildings). This was one of the discoveries of the day (but not only). Reciclanet is basically a place where computers are recycled "old" opertaivos installing Linux systems, and subsequently sold at prices truly acceptable. An NGO computer is doing and will do a great role in the Diffusion of Free Software.
Obviously, this slowed us down a bit and there was some chaos in the group, as we were and just time, but I think this experience is that then stays in l, group or collective memory. Finally, we take the subway back to the hotel and Dani, in collaboration with the group Itsas Free Software, we have a restaurant Montenegro, Enekuri, where he started an excellent social dinner, with delicious food (I should talk about mass caterers once the web), with major topics of conversation, good wine and good desserts (though without honey in a dish, a sacrilege to some of the members of the group).
At this point, some participants are removed at the hotel, while others enjoy the tranquil setting of a pub Bilbao. Obviously, most conversations revolve around the burning issues of the SL, with special attention to its future. I take this opportunity to speak with Frederick on Parley, showing my admiration for the program and promising reports on its use with students. The truth is that I feel tired all day and half a chance, I retire to my room. It's been a productive day off where expectations have been met had on this Sprint.
Sunday begins with the traditional collective breakfast at the hotel, where I have the "taste" to say goodbye to many of the participants (like say, because I could not even say goodbye others) and to be following events, that if, now will follow with much more attention on the Internet. As I pick the tram at 9 in the morning to catch the bus and take the plane from Bilbao to Valencia and then take the subway and then the train (an odyssey of transport "public") to get home for 14 hours (and eat excellent baked rice .... :) ) Participants made a brief trip to the headquarters of Reciclanet to continue the meeting. The atmosphere is very quiet in Bilbao, which contrasts with the bustling night. Logical. There are hardly any people in the metro.
Throughout the morning, still working on projects related to education, Sprint participants are somewhat tired and prefer to prepare their code to share the last day. The truth is that for many days of talks on meals and travel and already have enough material to insert into your applications.
The hours pass and it's time to stop to regain strength. The Sunday meal is done in the Hika Athena. A meal with more than 60 people with different concerns where developers have changed a little their topics of conversation as not everything in life are the computers and software. Good food, toasts and laughter, good times are remembered.
The time has come for an afternoon of fun Bilbao, Sprint partipantes you want (almost all foreigners who do not know the city) decided to walk around and visit the Guggenheim Bilbao, while others are more interested in continuing their work in Reciclanet. The proposed activity and a trip to the beach, was annulled on Sunday broke the streak of sunny days that came with the Sprint.
Last day of the event takes place in the new ETSI, is the last session partipantes programming and used it to lay the groundwork for future projects. The truth is that there are few participants. KAlgebra, Rocs, Step, susatanciales and kiosk improvements are catching up fast, so hopefully soon be polished adaptation to KDE.
After lunch, the afternoon is developed in the same way, with all the developers focused on the projects, for example, is prepared in the introduction text to support that allows entering words KAlgebra without the program is interpreted as functions or data .
At night, the few remaining workers are laying off, most of them will not be in the morning.
Thus ends a long and fruitful Sprint, which quite sure applications and community will benefit.

AT&T Digital Life includes a 24/7 monitoring service, which will alert the homeowner, as well as police and fire departments, in case of an emergency. Users can choose between options such as window sensors, glass break detectors, carbon monoxide sensors, and more.
Other features include management and control of security and automation devices, using programs and alerts. The all-digital, wireless Digital Life platform also works with thermostats, wirelessly-controlled door locks, video cameras, and more.
"We've been building AT&T Digital Life with the intent to establish a strong position in an industry ripe with potential to connect customers to their homes in a game-changing, wireless-centric experience," said Kevin Petersen, senior vice president of AT&T Digital Life. "We did extensive research, listened to our customers and worked hard to build a solution with an unmatched set of assets. We are excited for our customers to begin experiencing Digital Life and all the benefits it offers."
Currently, AT&T is offering these home security and automation services in eight markets. The new additions will be coming this spring. If all goes well, AT&T plans to have those services in 50 markets by the end of the year. Potential customers can purchase services inside an AT&T store, through a call center representative, on the web, or by scheduling an appointment with an in-home sales consultant.

So they were a perfect choice as my entry to the contest, and I'm delighted that Flavor Fix chose it as the 2nd place winner in the contest! Somewhat like truffles, these rum balls are stronger in taste because of the rum. Yum! I suggest you use a nice dark Jamaican rum for this recipe. If you want to include crushed nuts, substitute 1 cup of the wafers for 1 cup of nuts, such as hazelnuts. Use 4 1/2 tablespoons of chocolate chips to equal 1/2 cup of chocolate.

TORONTO - Imax and Warner Bros. Pictures have extended their long-standing partnership with a deal to release up to 20 of the Hollywood studio's films over the next three years.
Warner Bros. since 2003 has turned to Imax's super-sized screens to help release its tentpole pictures.
The giant screen exhibitor and Warner Bros. in 2010 unveiled a similar 20-film release deal, which included Dark Shadows, Batman 3 and Superman, all to be released through 2012.
The latest titles to be digitally remastered and released on on the Imax platform next year are Jack the Giant Slayer, Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, 300: Rise of an Empire, Gravity; Seventh Son, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug for Christmas 2013.
"Together with Imax and our exhibitor partners, we have built a unique, incremental distribution platform over the last 10 years," Dan Fellman, president, domestic distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures, said Thursday in a statement.
Imax has similar multi-film deals with DreamWorks Animation and Walt Disney.
