Display ticket statistics charts
Make various types of charts regarding the number of tickets using Open Flash Charts. Chart types:
- Pie charts.
- Bar charts.
- Stacked bar charts.
The charts are created by the parameters that you give to the macro. See the examples below.
All charts are clickable (see requirements) and will link to the query page of the graph.
See also TracTicketStatsPlugin, TracMetrixPlugin, TicketStatsMacro.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for TicketChartsMacro are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download the zipped source from [download:ticketchartsmacro here].
You can check out TicketChartsMacro from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
- Python 2.5 or above. For Python 2.4, see the instructions in #5225.
- Open Flash Charts installed on your server
- OFCDZ has more experimental features which get merged back to the main OFC project once in a while. For example clickable charts come from here.
- "Installing" in this case means:
- making accessible to web clients OFC's js and js/json as well as the top-level Flash file (open-flash-chart.swf or OFCDZ.swf)
- Deploying python-ofc-library-2/openFlashChart*.py somewhere Python will find them
- Advanced Argument Parser for Trac Macros (AdvParseArgsPlugin).
- Tested only on Trac 0.11.3.
- Tested only on Apache configuration, but with proper configuration (see configuration section) this should work with any http server (including tracd).
- Download the source.
- Copy the file TicketCharts.py to your project's plugins directory or to the global plugins directory, which is usually in:
- Enable TicketCharts plugin via the WebAdmin interface or by adding the following lines to the [components] section of trac.ini:
ticketcharts.* = enabled
- Install Open Flash Charts 2 and its version 2 python bindings (everything can be downloaded from Open Flash Charts).
- The following configuration should appear in trac.ini:
[ticket-charts] height = 300 width = 500 js_dir = /js json_dir = /js/json ofc_file = /OFCDZ.swf
- If this does not appear, default values will be used.
- js_dir, jsor_dir and ofc_file are the location on the http server of the Open Flash Charts files.
- As you can see, the default ofc_file value is OFCDZ.swf, which is another implementation of Open Flash Charts, that make the bar charts clickable. You can download it from OFCDZ.
Some notes on installation
- I tried all kinds of configurations to get the charts to appear (ver 11.5) - followed the information on this ticket
- Answer for me was to copy all the OFC2 files to my Apache web server http://mywebserver/trac/reports/
- Then I changed the paths to:
js_dir = http://mywebserver/trac/reports/js json_dir = http://mywebserver/trac/reports/js/json ofc_file = http://mywebserver/trac/reports/OFCDZ.swf
and it worked.
Macro arguments
Although I believe the examples show it all, I'll write here the arguments:
- Arguments for all types of graphs:
- type - The type of the graph. Can be pie, bars or stacked_bars.
- height, width - The height and width of the graph, in pixels. Percents will not work. If not specified, the values from trac.ini are taken (and if those aren't specified, then other default values are used).
- title - Text that will be displayed on the top of the chart.
- query - A Trac Query. All the stats will be taken from this query. It is important that everything in the query's parmeters will be under quotes. Examples:
query = milestone="my_milestone"&owner="aviram"|"danny"
- ofc_file, js_dir, json_dir - Same as the variables in the macro's configuration. If these are specified, the configuration is ignored.
- Arguments for pie graphs:
- factor - The name of the field by which the stats will be formed.
- Arguments for bar graphs:
- x_axis - The name of the field by which the stats will be formed (The X Axis values).
- Arguments for stacked bars graphs:
- x_axis - The name of the field by which the stats will be formed (The X Axis values).
- key - The name of the field by which the chart's columns are divided.
Examples with Snapshots
Number of tickets per milestone:
[[TicketChart(type = pie, factor = milestone)]]
Number of tickets per status for milestone4:
[[TicketChart(type = pie, factor = status, query = milestone="milestone4")]]
Number of tickets by status and owners:
[[TicketChart(type = stacked_bars, key = owner, x_axis = status, height = 400, width = 600)]]
Number of tickets by status and owner for milestone1:
[[TicketChart(type = stacked_bars, key = owner, x_axis = status, query = milestone="milestone1", title = Tickets by status and owner for milestone1)]]
Number of tickets by owner and type:
[[TicketChart(type = stacked_bars, key = type, x_axis = owner)]]
Number of tickets by status for milestone4:
[[TicketChart(type = bars, x_axis = status, query = milestone="milestone4", title = Tickets by status for milestone4)]]

Denver's Amélie wins OBIE award for state patrol campaign
Denver advertising agency Amélie Co. won a Gold OBIE Award from the Outdoor Advertising Association of America for its 3D billboard for the Colorado State Patrol's "Give Trucks More Room" campaign.
The design brought awareness to life-ending collisions that can happen when cars drive aggressively around commercial vehicles.
"This billboard encompasses all that effective and creative out of home ad campaigns should. It was innovative, eye-catching, and no doubt inspirational," said Stephen Freitas, the association's chief marketing officer, in a statement.
The state patrol launched its "Give Trucks More Room" ad campaign last August as part of its Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) initiative.

E-cigarette and vapor-pen users delivered a clear message to the Louisville City Council this week: "Don't lump us in with smokers."
The council reviewed an ordinance Tuesday night that would have revised the city's definition of smoking to more closely resemble the state's definition, banned marijuana and "electronic smoking device" use in outdoor public places or public meetings, and would have banned all forms of smoking within 15 feet of any doorway, air intake site or open window.
But after hearing from a number of residents on the use of vapor products, the council opted to postpone its decision until September.
The inclusion of e-cigarettes alongside tobacco and marijuana products in the proposed ordinance brought several speakers to the podium in protest.
Ryan Hines, owner of Steam Spot vapor store in Louisville, told council members that imposing the same regulations on tobacco and vapor users stigmatizes smoking addicts on the road to recovery.
"Forcing us vapers to go outside and stand with the smokers is the same thing as telling a recovering alcoholic to go sit at a bar with his soda," Hines said.
Tamara Chapman, who said she is the founder of the Northeast Colorado Vapor Society, made the trip all the way from Brush to speak at Tuesday's meeting.
"This is about tobacco harm reduction," Chapman said. "In a perfect world, none of us would have started smoking in the first place. But lot of us are getting off 15-, 20-, 30-year habits that we have done daily from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed.
"This is helping us getting off the tar and the carbon monoxide and the chemicals."
In a presentation to the council, Louisville public relations manager Meredyth Muth said the addition of e-cigarettes to the proposed ordinance stems from resident complaints about their use at the Louisville Recreation Center and Louisville Public Library, as well as health concerns.
"The Federal Drug Administration has recently issued a proposed rule to regulate e-cigarettes," Muth said. "The Boulder County Health Department website states 'the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes has not been fully studied and these products are not considered to be a safe or effective replacement for tobacco products.'"
Todd Dempster, who owns Elements of Vapor in Arvada, claims there are plenty of studies that show vapor use is safe. He worries a trend has started where municipalities are restricting e-cigarette use before getting all the facts.
"While a Louisville ordinance doesn't really effect my store, last night it was Lakewood, tonight it's Golden. It's a trend," Dempster said.
"At one point we thought smoking was OK and look how that turned out," he added. "We're not going to make the same mistake twice. I understand the fears. But the studies are out there."
Heath Harmon, Boulder County Public Health program director, said roughly 190 communities across the country have approved e-cigarette bans.
Had it approved the ordinance Tuesday, Louisville would have been the fifth Colorado municipality to do so.
Durango, Edgewater, Lakewood and Fort Collins have e-cigarette bans. Golden and Commerce City also are considering bans.
Louisville was among the first Colorado communities to pass a smoking ban when it adopted its current municipal code 14 years ago.
Harmon applauded Louisville's pro-active approach once again to what he said could emerge as a new health hazard.
"Secondhand vapor does include chemicals and those chemicals do include carcinogens," Harmon said. "So those are the exposures that we're most concerned about."

RV Solar Kits
Solar power for your RV means you can say goodbye to noisy generators and wasted gas!
The Cost to Solarize your RV
It's really not that expensive when you consider it-you can buy a small 75W system for under $1000. This would provide you with enough power for one or two items at a time.
A solar kit for your RV is typically about 50 to 110 watts. With peak sun shining down on a 50 watt solar panel, you'll have energy to run a regular sized television set. They can be used to charge batteries or to power items directly.
Your wants
Most people will want to power a few small implements. Check the silver metallic sticker on the backs of your electronic or other items. For example, a laptop will likely have a marking of 16V=2.2A. This means 16 volts and 2.2 amps. Plug figures like these into our handy solar calculator, to figure out your load (your energy usage) in watts.
Take the result of your calculation and multiply by the number of hours you are going to be out-the result will give you a number in AHrs (amp hours). Divide this figure by 2 to get a rough idea of the wattage you will need.
Freedom and power all in one
RV solar kits are actually very easy to use, virtually maintenance free to give you many years of uninterrupted (and best of all, free) power.
Regulate it!
You can save yourself a lot of trouble by adding a regulator to your system. These come with very easy to read gages (digital readouts, etc) to ensure that you do not overcharge your battery.
RV batteries require special consideration. If you want to store energy, you will need to add a proper battery. Read more about solar RV batteries.

Witness to fatal shooting of teen says he tried to surrender before Oklahoma officer shot him
OKLAHOMA CITY – A witness to the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager by an Oklahoma police captain says the teen appeared to try to surrender before he was shot.
Del City police Capt. Randy Harrison is charged with first-degree manslaughter in the March 14, 2012, death of 18-year-old Dane Scott Jr.
Harrison has pleaded not guilty and faces a minimum of four years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
Scott's friend, 17-year-old John Lockett, testified Wednesday that Scott was running from Harrison and put his hands up as if surrendering before he was fatally shot.
Lockett says Scott led Harrison on a high-speed chase that ended in a collision. He says Scott and Harrison scuffled before Scott wriggled free and ran away.

Back on March 21st, we brought you our review on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 reference card. Earlier this week we followed that up with review of that card focused on 2D Surround gaming, so those of you that have a multi-monitor setup could get some performance numbers at an ultra HD resolution of 5760×1080. Today, we are back at it with a GeForce GTX 680 review featuring 2-way SLI! The only thing better than one GeForce GTX 680 is running two of them together right?
The focus of this article will be from the single monitor point of view, so we'll be bringing you performance numbers at 2560×1600, 1920×1080 and 1280×1024 to show you how this killer setup performs. We'll also be taking a look at the power consumption, noise levels and temperatures that will get form a GeForce GTX 680 2-Way SLI setup.
We couldn't find a company willing to send us a second GeForce GTX 680 for testing, so we went to Newegg and spent $499.99 out of our pocket for an off the shelf EVGA GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards. We got lucky and was able to purchase one when they became in-stock for a split second. Most people expect that review sites get everything they wish and in bulk, but that isn't the situation. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 is still in extremely short supply and a quick look online this morning found that Newegg was sold out of all of their GeForce GTX 680 cards still. This is one of the reasons that most companies aren't sending out extras to reviews as they have retail orders to fill!
In case you are wondering you can mix two difference brand boards for SLI as long as they are running the same GPU. Since the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 is based off the NVIDIA reference design, they will work perfectly together in SLI.
To run SLI you need a power supply that is at least 650 Watts and one that supports four 6-pin PCIe power connectors. You'll also need an NVIDIA SLI bridge that connects both cards together.
Once the cards are installed you need to make sure to install the drivers for both cards and then enable SLI in the NVIDIA control panel. We are running GeForce 301.10 drivers and had no issues with drivers or getting SLI to work properly.
Let's skip all the fluff and show you the test system and dive into the benchmarks!

BEAUFORT — Effective Tuesday, the access road that runs behind Beaufort Memorial Hospital, used primarily for service and delivery vehicles, will be closed to all but authorized traffic for the duration of the hospital's 14-month emergency room expansion project.
A gated security guard station will be staffed 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and closed all other hours. Emergency access after-hours can be obtained by calling 522-5200 for the hospital operator, who will contact a security guard to open the gate.
Parking is expected to become more challenging during the construction period and the hospital will be running shuttles during high-traffic operating hours to assist patients and visitors.
In addition, the existing ER entrance will be restricted to ambulance traffic. Patients and visitors will need to use the main or south hospital (Birthing Center/Surgery Center) entrances to access the ER and its waiting area.
The $14.5-million renovation will more than double the size of the Level 3 ER, and will help the hospital meet the community's increasing demand for emergency medical services. Beaufort Memorial's emergency department visits currently total nearly 40,000 a year.
To learn more about the ER expansion, visit www.bmhsc.org.

Finnegan's Wake (1963)
Directed by Mary Ellen ButeGenres - Drama | Run Time - 92 min. | Countries - USA |
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Finnegan's Wake was the first attempt to cinematize the works of Irish author James Joyce. Based more on a stage adaptation by Mary Manning than the Joyce novel itself, the film concentrates on Dublin pubkeeper Finnegan (Martin J. Kelly), who while in the throes of inebriation has a vision of his own death. As the bemused Finnegan lies in his coffin, his friends gather for his wake. The "corpse" tries to cut through the keening and platitudes by probing the innermost thoughts of those closest to him. The surprising aspect of Finnegan's Wake is that so much of its difficult text works on screen--a tribute to the loving care of scripter/director/ editor Mary Ellen Bute, who while preparing this film spent her waking hours picking the brains and burrowing through the resource materials of the James Joyce Society.

ThinkTank Wakeskate Jam 2009
BY Sim Bradley
ThinkTank 2009… where do I even start?
It's been a very long 14-day process from start to finish, but this year's ThinkTank has honestly been one of the best weeks of my life. The original concept for ThinkTank (and The Harbour Project) was always to simply bring everyone together for some riding and hopefully push the boundaries in the process, but I was not prepared for just how much everyone got involved this year and how it all paid off as a result.
First of all, wakeskating in the UK is no longer small. There are hundreds of wakeskaters around the country and a lot of kids out there who are killing it, especially at the cables. This really showed through this year with the open qualifying session on the Thursday and all who qualified really took advantage of the situation and stepped things up a gear. The fact that a 14-year old kid who nobody had ever heard of (Will Bradley) was the first to get a shuv off the hubba ledge, says it all.
Over these four days we all witnessed a huge turning point in the sport. We've been pushing the use of bumps & nugz for a couple of years now, but this year people really embraced them and we saw a lot of true locked-in skateboard rail tricks. Si Powell, Louis Floyd, Matt Crowhurst, Liam Smith and Terry Hannam really pushed this side of rail riding, and with it was the skateboarders Liam, Si and Terry who really took it back to the streets with feeble, blunt and smith grinds. Out on the Jet Ski course Jan Kissman, Louis Floyd Crowhurst and Taylor Dell raised their game and destroyed the Nike 6.0 Euro Gap, a feature that we had been a little apprehensive of due to it's high gnar-factor, but everyone over the week hit it and made the step-up with ease, particularly Zander Jones, another of our qualifiers.
I'm not going to spoil too much for now, but I will tell you that the prize of a custom Nike 6.0 Monkey Wench winch went to the best trick performed by anyone over the four days. It was a hard call to make for myself, Jordan from Nike, Ben from Goodwood, my colleague Tim Woodhead and OG of the sport Pat McGucken to make, but in the end we all agreed that Terry Hannam's frontside 180 to switch Smith grind on the steel handrail was the sickest thing we've ever seen done on a wakeskate in Europe. We built the stair set to resemble a skateboard spot, and it's only fitting that a skateboarding trick won the Best Trick award.
In closing I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that came down. We had a huge list of helpers who without their efforts and willingness to contribute to the wakeskate community, the event would have never been the outstanding success that it became. Special thanks to Martin Gary, Ben Hannam, Tim Woodhead, Liam Smith, Ollie Woods, Terry Hannam and Ollie Dunn; you are all legends and we appreciate you more than you could ever know.
Thanks again to Nike 6.0, Goodwood, Liquid Force, Suso and especially Ten-80 and the West Midlands Waterski Centre for letting us use their outstanding venue to enable ThinkTank to be everything that it had the potential to be.
We will be back next May to kick off the season in style – I'm trembling with excitement already
"I love it when a plan comes together"

Detectives, K9 find heroin after search warrant
Police say one man is in custody after they executed a search warrant at the Spanish Villa Apartments in Beaumont.
According to a BPD press release, at approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 19, Narcotics officers were assisted by Beaumont's Special Assignments Unit and a K9 officer in executing a narcotics search warrant. Upon entering and securing the home, police found more than 15 grams of heroin, pre-packaged and in pill form ready for sale on the street.
The bust was the culmination of two month's worth of police work and investigations, the press release said.
Police arrested 57-year-old Michael Dalco of Beaumont during the search and booked him into the Jefferson County Jail on possession of a controlled substance. His bond is $15,000.

The Yellow Birds
A Novel
Kevin Powers
Little Brown: 230 pp., $24.99
Pvt. John Bartle, the narrator of Kevin Powers' sorrowful war novel "The Yellow Birds," is a man of reason caught between the uncontrolled emotions of two men.
The first is his sergeant, a severe gunslinger and molder of warriors named Sterling. Sgt. Sterling's discipline and his rage against the enemy are keeping his squad of men alive as they patrol an eerie, death-filled Iraqi landscape. Pvt. Bartle loves and hates him for this.
"I hated the way he excelled in death and brutality and domination," Bartle says. "But more than that, I hated the way he was necessary, how I needed him to jar me into action even when they were trying to kill me…I hated the way I loved him when I inched up out of the terror and returned fire…"
The second man is Murph, a green new addition to the unit. Murph is smallish and just 18 years old, and Pvt. Bartle has made the grave mistake of promising Murph's mother that he'd bring him back home alive.
Murph, we quickly learn, is simply too sensitive and too innocent to be a U.S. soldier in Iraq. Pvt. Bartle, at 21, is just old enough, and sufficiently hardened by the horrors of war, to become Murph's protector.
"All right, little man," Sgt. Sterling tells Murph. " I want you to get in Bartle's back pocket and I want you to stay there."
Powers, an Iraq war veteran, has said he wrote "The Yellow Birds" as an answer to the question everyone who served in Iraq hears again and again: "What was it like over there?"
"The Yellow Birds" is the narrative of a soldier-witness still numbed by what he's seen. It's a beautiful and horrifying trance of a book, as Powers takes us again and again to a dream-like battlefield where unimaginable cruelties are inflicted upon combatants and civilians alike.
The men fight in Al Tafar, in a setting that is Dante-esque, in the broadest possible sense of that word. The men of Bartle's squad go there to see sin and to suffer, and perhaps to survive and be somehow redeemed. The torments they find in Al Tafar are described by Powers with a spare, haunting lyricism.
"As we walked on line through the ragged grove we began to hear a sound out front," Powers writes, describing an orchard that's been torn apart by a firefight. "At first it sounded like humbled weeping, closer, a bleating lamb. We moved faster … and saw the enemy dead strewn about a shallow ditch: two boys, sixteen or so."
In this battlefield, Pvt. Bartle finds himself caught between the conflicting demands of his role as soldier: becoming the ruthless killer Sgt. Sterling expects him to be and being the protector Murph needs. His inability to reconcile those contradictions is pulling him apart — while ideas, language and memory are the glue holding him together.
A young man who got beat up for reading poetry in high school, Pvt. Bartle signed up for the Army to prove his courage. He finds his poetic and philosophical sensibilities put to use observing his brothers die, and describing encounters with the broken bodies of enemy "hajji" fighters, civilian women, and anonymous men whose corpses have been dismembered and transformed into bombs.
"We only grieved those we knew," Powers writes. "All others who died in Al Tafar were part of the landscape, as if something had sown seeds in that city that made bodies rise from the earth, in the dirt or up through the pavement like flowers after a frost…"
It's a war that, like many wars before it, seems to be stripped of any meaning. Pvt. Bartle's unit sweeps into Al Tafar every year, only to see the enemy take it back. On this next mission, as on others, "People are going to die," Sgt. Sterling warns Pvt. Bartle. "It's statistics."
Early on we learn that one of the men in the unit is fated to die, as Powers shifts his narrative back and forth between the battles in Al Tafar and a post-deployment reckoning in which he mourns a comrade's death and is called to answer for the way that young man died.
Back in Virginia everyone calls Pvt. Bartle a hero, but the honorific feels like a joke, because all he's done is survive — and the man he promised to protect did not. With the passage of time, Bartle feels more like a "murderer" and an "accomplice."
Finally, the lies are just too much to live with, leading Powers to write a startling and angry rant against a country that celebrates its soldiers without understanding the viciousness of the war they went to fight: "everyone wants to slap you on the back and you start to want to burn the whole goddamn country down, you want to burn every goddamn yellow ribbon in sight…"
Powers has the courage to take his readers back to such angry and empty psychic states again and again. "The Yellow Birds" leaves both its protagonist and its readers in an unsettled, confusing place. Writing from the point of view of a deeply damaged narrator is tricky work, however, and there are passages, including the novel's final chapter, that feel unpolished and not entirely satisfying.
Still, "The Yellow Birds" might just be the first American literary masterpiece produced by the Iraq war, even if an imperfect one. It is, without a doubt, a powerful and disturbing statement about the brutality of that conflict, and of the deep wounds inflicted on thousands of our citizen-soldiers.

Educators Choose Dell Latitude 10 Tablets to Help Personalize Learning
Educators Choose Dell Latitude 10 Tablets to Help Personalize Learning
- Fargo Public Schools, Southern Illinois University, Spartanburg School District 3 and Westwood Independent Schools choose Dell Windows 8 Latitude 10 tablets for the form and function students and teachers want with the manageability IT administrators need
- A third-party study states Latitude 10 essentials configuration with Windows 8 delivers a lower management cost than iPads in large scale education deployments1
- An online survey of K-12 school IT decision makers reveals it can cost more than $1,400 on average to prepare devices to work in schools2,3
ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dell today reports that schools are already deploying recently announced Dell Latitude 10 tablets designed to address the costly and time consuming device management challenges faced by schools undertaking large deployments of tablets. Fargo Public Schools, Southern Illinois University, Spartanburg School District 3 and Westwood Independent Schools have selected the enterprise-ready Windows 8 tablets for their compelling touch experience, reliability, security and ease of management.
Fargo Public Schools : "We want our students to learn the needed skills to be successful in the 21st century and we believe they must have the right devices at the ready that will help them not only consume information but also produce new projects and content," said Bill Westrick, IT Director, Fargo Public Schools. "We chose Dell Windows 8 devices because teachers can integrate them into their existing curriculum; students can now produce information as easily as they can consume it and the Dell Latitude 10 tablets are easy for us to manage within our existing IT infrastructure."
Southern Illinois University : "This tablet initiative will enhance student success and help them become more engaged in the campus experience," said Rita Cheng, Chancellor, Southern Illinois University. "Being the first comprehensive research university to launch a large-scale, campus-wide tablet initiative that focuses on student success lets our students know that we are working to revolutionize their SIU experience. We know our students and their families also will appreciate the financial benefits of e-textbooks."
Spartanburg School District 3: "Ultimately, it's all about the learning experience," said Eric Levitt, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, Spartanburg School District 3. "Dell Windows 8 devices deliver our teachers and students an intuitive device for self-directed learning that delivers a personalized approach to education."
Westwood Independent School District : "We were seeking solutions that would bring technology into the classroom, sparking students' desire to learn, and also expanding our district's educational opportunities beyond the classroom," explains Dr. Clint McLain, Assistant Superintendent and High School Principal, Westwood Independent School District. "Additionally, Dell's tablets provided the best way to address our online student assessment needs here in the State of Texas. These devices are innovative and will be enjoyable for our students to use."
Study Reveals Multiple IT Challenges of Deploying Tablets in K-12 Schools
A recent Dell and Intel-commissioned Harris Interactive online survey2 of 203 US school system administrators and IT decision makers highlights the tablet management challenges faced by schools today. The results show that tablets are increasingly becoming a standard IT device (53 percent of IT decision makers surveyed have deployed them in their schools). However, other studies show some tablets can cost significantly more time and money to manage. According to the results of the Harris survey:
- Preparing tablets to work in a school's existing infrastructure can cost more than $1,4002,3 on average.
- These costs include time spent on tasks such as device management, password setting and resetting, enterprise domain and access configuration and policy development.
- Fifty-seven percent of education IT decision makers using tablets say there are applications currently used on their desktops and laptops that cannot be currently accessed on their tablets; 46 percent say some can only be used with limited functionality.
- Additionally, 41 percent say they have to purchase applications to mirror desktop and laptop functionality.
- And 31 percent say they require additional software or tools to manage tablets.
- Fifty-nine percent of school system IT decision makers and administrators say choosing devices that integrate with their existing IT infrastructure and that can be managed by existing tools is the best way to minimize total cost of ownership for tablets.
The Dell Latitude 10 tablet was designed to overcome these challenges by combining a great user experience with ease of management and deployment by IT. The tablet fits easily and securely into existing school IT environments to help improve IT efficiency and decrease total cost-of-management. Because it is managed like any standard Windows-based laptop, the Dell Latitude 10 tablet is significantly easier to deploy and manage than the iPad in large scale implementations.
According to third-party testing performed by Principled Technologies1, when compared to the iPad in large scale education deployments, the Latitude 10 essentials configuration:
- Requires 52 percent less time to manage.
- Is 99 percent faster for software updates, saving approximately 197 hours with automated updates.
- Saves IT time, doubling the number of devices a single IT staff member can manage.

County earn point on SPL debut
Ross County extended their unbeaten league run into the top flight as a goalless draw with Motherwell made it 35 games without defeat.
County produced a solid Clydesdale Bank Premier League debut and restricted Motherwell to very few chances at the revamped Global Energy Stadium in Dingwall.
Motherwell had the better of possession but last season's Irn-Bru First Division champions looked a threat from set-pieces with some dangerous deliveries by Iain Vigurs and Richard Brittain offering opportunities to tall defenders such as Ross Tokely and Grant Munro.
As they had done during their 2-0 defeat by Panathinaikos in their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday, Motherwell lacked a cutting edge despite confidence on the ball.
Their best chance fell to Michael Higdon just before the interval but the striker headed over from close range.
While it was an unspectacular start to top-flight life for the former Highland League club, who were admitted to the Scottish Football League in 1994, they seemed happy with a point against last season's third-placed side.
County's renamed stadium underwent a #1.7million summer transformation to meet SPL criteria for 6,000 seats but the former Victoria Park has retained much of its original character and the 4,828 crowd hailed the unfurling of the First Division title flag.
The Motherwell fans were also in party mood after County paid for their official supporters' association coaches.
Although the home side were SPL newcomers, each member of their starting line-up had previous top-flight experience, including former Inverness defender Tokely, who made the short trip north in the summer.
Manager Derek Adams modified his tactics by playing Colin McMenamin up front alone with Martin Scott, back on loan from Hibernian, supporting from a five-man midfield.
McMenamin got a weak header on target early on but Motherwell quickly settled into a decent passing rhythm with the home side sitting deep.
The visitors were being restricted to long-range efforts although Jamie Murphy, playing up front with Omar Daley wide left, almost opened the scoring on the half-hour mark when his ball into the box curled just wide.
Motherwell soon put themselves under pressure by conceding some cheap free-kicks inside their own half.
One of those led to a chance for Munro as he headed Brittain's delivery towards the roof of the net but Darren Randolph pushed over.
Higdon had two chances before the break from Tom Hateley crosses. The full-back chipped a cross over goalkeeper Michael Fraser after some patient build-up play but Tokely beat Higdon to the ball to head over.
Higdon had a better chance from the resulting corner but headed over from underneath the bar with his back to goal.
Motherwell continued to have the better of possession after half-time but were unable to carve out chances against an organised County side.
County remained a threat at set-pieces and Scott Boyd headed wide from an inswinging corner by Iain Vigurs.
Motherwell brought on Henrik Ojamaa with 20 minutes left and he livened up their strikeforce with some direct running but there was no end product and they will need to sharpen up their attacking play if they are to pull off a shock in Athens on Wednesday.
The hosts continued to play on the break and they survived some late pressure to claim their first SPL point.

Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples is pleased to announce $5 million is now available to help farmers and ranchers improve production efficiency and air quality by upgrading their farm equipment through the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/implementation/air/terp/index.html (TERP). TERP, operated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/implementation/air/terp/index.html (TCEQ), provides financial assistance to replace older diesel or gasoline-powered engines, thereby reducing harmful air emissions.
"A greener Texas is a cleaner Texas, and that's why I'm excited we're greening our state in two ways – producing agricultural goods and reducing air emissions," Commissioner Staples said. "We are pleased to partner with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and are grateful for their commitment to help our agricultural producers do their part to keep Texas air clean."
To qualify, applicants must be in an eligible county designated by TCEQ for air quality improvement. These eligible applicants could receive reimbursement of up to 80 percent of the cost to replace a qualifying vehicle or up to 100 percent of the cost to replace an emissions-producing engine that also meets certain criteria.
The application deadline is Feb. 20, 2009, and to assist potential applicants in determining eligibility and completing applications, TCEQ is now hosting grant workshops across the state.
"Air quality is an important issue and one in which all Texans have a stake," Commissioner Staples said. "This creates a win-win for the agricultural producer and the environment because the farmer and rancher can upgrade to newer, more efficient equipment while reducing air emissions. At a time when each dollar counts, this program will make a difference."
For more information about the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan, including eligibility requirements, workshop dates and applications, visit www.tdagrants.org or call TCEQ at (800)-919-TERP (8377).
Eligible counties for this grant cycle include: Bastrop, Bexar, Brazoria, Caldwell, Chambers, Collin, Comal, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Fort Bend, Galveston, Gregg, Guadalupe, Hardin, Harris, Harrison, Hays, Jefferson, Johnson, Kaufman, Liberty, Montgomery, Orange, Parker, Rockwall, Rusk, Smith, Tarrant, Travis, Waller, Williamson and Wilson.

The end of another Redland bughunt - all praise valgrind! It finally managed to find where Redland was crashing when used with PHP and the serialization (writing syntax) class. It was a combination of PHP and SWIG conspiring to do the wrong thing with a null string and NULL object pointer, a configuration error on my part.
This debugging was made much harder by the annoying things that are threads, which seem to be used more and more with useful shared libraries, causing debugging nightmares. Does anyone understand how to get gdb to do the right thing with this? I certainly don't, mostly facing a dead stack trace until the planets align right and it'll let me set a breakpoint in a shared-library that isn't loaded yet, let me run the code and stop at the breakpoint. Bah!
Anyway, onwards. Added some defensive code to try to catch this
thing again and in the course of updating the debug code, found the
__func__ pseudo-variable in C99 which is handy and can
replace a lot of hand-coded bits.
Things seem to be building ok now, and the new MySQL backend for Redland is looking solid, so it's nearly time for another release. It always seems to take a week to do that, rather than sling the code out the door untested.
As an aside, I forgot to mention last week I helped build Planet RDF based on existing code my friends had, with me mostly providing the additional hacking for fixing the mess that is HTML in RSS and the glue to make the thing update. It's looking good.

Tonometry is a test to measure the pressure inside your eyes. The test is used to screen for
Alternative Names
Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement; Glaucoma test; Applanation
How the test is performed
There are several methods of testing for glaucoma.
The most accurate method measures the force needed to flatten a certain area of the cornea.
- The surface of the eye is numbed with eye drops. A fine strip of paper stained with orange dye is touched to the side of the eye. The dye stains the front of the eye to help with the examination.
- The
slit-lampis placed in front of you, and you rest your chin and forehead on a support that keeps your head steady. The lamp is moved forward until the tip of the tonometer just touches the cornea.
- The health care provider looks through the eyepiece on the lamp and the machine gives a pressure reading. There is no discomfort with the test.
A slightly different method uses a handheld device similar in shape to a pencil. Again, you are given numbing eye drops to prevent any discomfort. The device touches the outside of the eye and instantly records eye pressure.
The last method is the noncontact method (air puff). In this method, your chin rests on a padded stand.
- You stare straight into the examining device. The eye doctor shines a light into your eye to properly line up the instrument, and then delivers a brief puff of air at your eye.
- The machine measures eye pressure by looking at how the light reflections change as the air hits the eye.
How to prepare for the test
Remove contact lenses before the examination. The dye can permanently stain contact lenses.
Tell yourhealth care provider if you have
How the test will feel
If numbing eye drops were used, you should not have any pain. In the noncontact method, you may feel mild pressure on your eye.
Why the test is performed
Tonometry is a test to measure the pressure inside your eyes. The test is used to screen for glaucoma.
People over age 40, especially African Americans, have the highest risk for developing glaucoma. Regular eye exams can help detect glaucoma early. If it is detected early, glaucoma can be treated before too much damage is done.
The test may also be done before and after eye surgery.
Normal Values
A normal result means your eye pressure is within the normal range. The normal eye pressure range is 10 - 21 mmHg.
How thick your cornea is can affect measurements. Normal eyes with thick corneas have higher readings and normal eyes with thin corneas have lower readings.A thin cornea with a high reading may be very abnormal (the actual eye pressure will be higher than shown on the tonometer).
Currently, a corneal thickness measurement (pachymetry) is needed to get a correct pressure measurement.
Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Glaucoma
- Inflammation in the eye
- Injury to the eye or head
What the risks are
If the applanation method is used, there is a small chance the cornea may be scratched (

What if America today had 400 million-plus citizens instead of 300?
Research from the Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show American women had well over 50 million abortions in the past 40 years. If those aborted had been born and reproduced at normal birth rates, today we would have an additional 100 million citizens. Imagine our nation, facing today's economic challenges, with this many additional citizens requiring food, shelter, education and health care.
Perhaps the additional population might have provided some benefits for our nation. Some to consider: (1) Our government might have attempted to actually stop illegal immigration over the past three decades if we already had a supply of low-cost workers in this hypothetical population boom. (2) We would have had an almost endless additional supply of volunteers for our military, allowing our politicians to "build" even more nations. (3) This over-supply of labor would have drastically lowered U.S. wages, resulting in fewer jobs being shipped offshore. (4) We wouldn't have the coming shortage of FICA-paying workers to fund retiring boomers' entitlements.
Truthfully, despite the remote possibility of benefits, I could foresee mostly tragic results. Our nation already hovers on the brink of failure. Current economic conditions wouldn't be just slowly crushing our middle class; it would have already been annihilated!
To me, though, 50 million-plus abortions seem unimaginable. I can't help wondering why, during this time span, with so many other effective and relatively inexpensive birth control options readily available, so many choose abortion. The pill, for example, is 99 percent effective if taken as directed, and the cost for the two most commonly prescribed versions is between $8 and $12 per month through almost any chain pharmacy. Many county health departments (including ours) supply both the pill and condoms at no charge.
The average cost of a non-hospital, first-trimester abortion is around $500, but this does not include the costs for treating possible side-effects, the main one being infection. Nor does it include the costs for treating the inevitable increases in sexually transmitted diseases resulting from unprotected sex. Remember, we all pay higher taxes and health insurance premiums to fund these expenses.
I support the right to an abortion in cases of rape or incest. I can even understand when a woman who has tried diligently to practice birth control might choose abortion over an unwanted pregnancy. However, rape, incest, failed diligent birth control efforts, and other birth control options being too expensive cannot possibly precipitate most of these 58 million abortions. In fact, researchers only attribute about 2 percent of all abortions to the first two reasons.
The underlying demographics of those receiving abortions seem to expose the truth. These data show women under 24 receive more than half of all abortions, single women account for 75 percent, and 50 percent have had previous abortions.
Few issues have been more passionately debated than abortion since Roe v. Wade became the law of the land in 1973. The extremely passionate opposing sides of pro-choice and pro-life remain diametrically locked in battle against one another, and I doubt it will ever change.
Personally, I don't think the abortion debate should continue to be based only on morality or women's rights. Instead, society should acknowledge that the most important issue to be dealt with is the significant population of uneducated or careless couples who too often allow abortion to serve as their primary birth control method —and developing viable strategies to change this behavior.
I do not think the government should interfere with women's rights to determine how they use their bodies. However, I do wish more of this subset of our population would make the choice to use less expensive pregnancy prevention options. While we cannot afford a population explosion, we can and should find ways to prevent abortion from being the primary birth control method for so many.
Awareness of options, education and inexpensive birth control must become much more readily available. Most developed nations sell the pill over the counter. Why not here? Surely if we could find effective ways to increase the use of other options, most on either side of this debate and society overall would be the winners.
We see a constant barrage of ads for erectile dysfunction drugs. Why not a series of ads promoting best practices for prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases? If I were the parent of younger children, I would surely prefer to have a discussion with my kids about the latter than I would about EDS drugs.
I have to admit that these are the opinions of an older male — and what the heck do I know? What do you think?

The thugs in charge of recruiting kids for use in bloody African wars are finding their efforts are being hampered in Somalia. Not through the durect actions of the government or the UN, but because kids now have enough things to do in their spare time to keep them off the streets.
A report in Britain's Guardian reveals that in recent years, as the militant al-Shabaab movement was in charge of the nation's capital of Mogadishu, leisure pursuits such as video games were outlawed. Now that al-Shabaab is out, kids can get back to their games, and they're going mad for the things.
In conjunction with the ability for kids to get out and play football again, it's believed that their constant activity - school, sports and games - the youth of Somalia don't have the spare time to simply be hanging around as targets for militant recruitment groups like they used to.
Here's one particularly effective tale:
Ali Abdi, a 15-year-old, said he was trained to fight with al-Shabaab, but after returning home for a visit his mother would not let him return to the militants. His brother opened an arcade, where Ali now happily spends his time. He plans to return to school when militants no longer recruit from classrooms.
"Many of my friends are unlucky and have taken part in the violence in the country. Some of them have died. Others are carrying guns around. In some ways, video games have saved my life," he said.
There are downsides to this, of course, as there are also reports of children skipping school to play games. But, you know. Better that than being roped into a war.
