FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas safety Ross Rasner couldn�t believe what happened in War Memorial Stadium when he walked off the field seven weeks ago.
He wasn�t alone. The Arkansas sideline and a stadium full of Razorbacks fans were just as shocked when Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kolton Browning raced to the corner of the end zone to secure the first major upset of the 2012 season.
�I think everybody was more surprised than anything and it kind of took awhile for it to set in. What just happened?� Rasner said. �I definitely remember the feeling of walking off the field and wondering what happened and how we let it slip away.�
Arkansas will walk back onto that field for the first time since the 34-31 overtime loss to ULM today, when the Razorbacks (3-4, 2-2 in Southeastern Conference) play Ole Miss (4-3, 1-2) in Little Rock. The Razorbacks are well aware of the significance of the return trip, too, seeking some redemption after a loss that set the course for what will be remembered as a disappointing season.
It was the first step in a four-game losing streak for a top 10 team, after all. It ensured Arkansas of it place as one of the 2012 season�s biggest disappointments.
So erasing the bad taste from the Little Rock loss is a big part of Arkansas new goal of trying to salvage as much as possible this season.
�We need to go back and redeem ourselves,� Arkansas defensive tackle Alfred Davis said. �Go back and defend the Rock like we have done in the past and just get our fans pumped about it, get ourselves pumped about it. Because that is our other home, and you always want to win in your own backyard.�
One of the biggest shocks of the ULM loss was the fact this group of Razorbacks had known nothing else. Arkansas had been 8-0 in War Memorial Stadium since 2008, beating both nonconference opponents and SEC foes during its two annual trips.
Defensive end Chris Smith said the Razorbacks are motivated to begin a new streak in Little Rock on Saturday and avoid other low moments. Arkansas hasn�t lost two straight in Little Rock since 1997. It hasn�t gone winless in Little Rock during a season since 1993, when the Razorbacks were 0-2-1 in War Memorial Stadium.
�It�s always great playing in front of the fans,� Smith said. �You always want to win at home. This is an SEC game. We�re going to come ready to play, put what is behind us, behind us. We�ll look forward. That�s what we�re going to do.�
Arkansas feels much more confident about its chances for redemption after winning two straight games against Auburn and Kentucky.
The Arkansas offense put together a complete performance in the weather-shortened, 49-7 win against the Wildcats and have shown promise in the run game lately. The defense survived an awful start to allow 14 points in its past two games.
The victories did come against two teams who are now a combined 0-10 in conference play this season. But Arkansas coach John L. Smith said �swagger� and �confidence� has been restored to his team after its crippling start to the season.
�I think we�ve been growing by leaps and bounds,� Smith said. �Not only as a football team getting better at technique, getting better at our assignment, getting better at all of those things. But getting better from a mental confidence standpoint.�
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said it has been noticeable in the way the Razorbacks have played the past few weeks. So he and the Rebels know a �great battle� awaits.
�That is a place that is very difficult to play and they�ve been very, very good there,� Freeze said. �They�re playing with great confidence right now. They�re coming off of two wins. � The confidence that they�ve gained and the job coach Smith and his staff have done in rallying them amidst difficult times at the start of their season, speaks volumes for their character and the way they want to finish the year.�
Freeze and the Rebels aren�t lacking motivation in that regard, either.
Ole Miss, which also had an open date last week, ended its 16-game SEC losing streak by beating Auburn on Oct. 13. It was an important step for a program gaining confidence under Freeze, who replaced Houston Nutt last winter.
Both SEC West teams are trying to claw their way to bowl eligibility now, needing a win today to take a step closer to the goal. But the Razorbacks insist they aren�t looking at the big picture when they return to War Memorial Stadium for the first time since the devastating loss to Louisiana-Monroe today.
They just want to restore order in their second home in Little Rock.
�Everyone is real excited about getting back there because we feel like we need to redeem ourselves for what happened,� Rasner said. �We have such a great fanbase out there that we don�t want to disappoint them like that again.�

By Sen. Vincent Hughes - Romney tax plan isn't about fairness - from Pennlive.com
The Buffett Rule is one step among many we need to take to keep investing in prosperity for all Americans without increasing the deficit so that everyone gets a fair shot and does their fair share.
Asking the wealthiest Americans to do their part is not class warfare — it's just fair. Of course, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney opposes the Buffett Rule. Romney's tax plan asks the middle class to pay for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires that we can't afford.
Even deep cuts in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are not enough to pay for Romney's tax cuts and a defense buildup without a strategy behind it. That means there would be additional cuts to Head Start, local schools, Pell Grants that help students pay for college, and investments in our transportation and infrastructure. All these cuts would hurt the middle class.
At the very core of this debate — and this election — is a straightforward choice. We either can continue to level the playing field and make the investments that made the American middle class the envy of the world or we can keep giving tax breaks to the wealthiest, widen loopholes for big corporations, and stick seniors and the middle class with the bill. But we can't do both.
While President Obama is fighting to restore economic security and fairness for the middle class, Romney is fighting to maintain the status quo so his fellow millionaires can keep taking advantage of loopholes in the system and doing less than their fair share. America will not thrive without a healthy and robust middle class. The idea of America is a country where anyone can achieve their dreams through hard work and responsibility.
If we are going to succeed as a nation, we must level the playing field so everyone has the same shot at success.
Liberal dissembling. The idea that "fairness" means picking winners and losers is dishonest and the type of politics we have so come to expect from the left that no one questions it anymore. A government that can pick tax winners and losers, financial winners and losers - is the same government that could more likely than not pick who lives and who doesn't. A "fair" government treats everyone equally. Fairness translates into an equal playing field, protected by a government that assures that liberty is preserved without a preference as to outcome. A truly "fair" tax is a flat tax. The more you earn, the more you pay. To proffer an argument that someone has benefited more than someone else and thereby should be held to a different standard of "fairness" is sheer nonsensical hypocrisy. If as a standard, private sector banks were to choose to whom they would lend money based upon a subjective standard and not a financial/business model this would rightly by viewed as a discriminatory business practice. Yet, the left continues to bombard America with a self-righteous false morality of "the rich should pay more because they benefited more". Save it for the stupid. I, for one, am not buying it.

Illinois Bill Aims to Make Online Dating Safer
State lawmakers in Illinois are trying to make it safer for people to use online dating sites.
The Decatur Herald & Review reported Sunday that legislation aiming to do that passed the Illinois House last week.
It would require Internet dating services operating in Illinois to post disclaimers saying whether they conduct background checks on their members.
The measure is sponsored by state Rep. Michelle Mussman, a Democrat from Schaumburg.
She says she wants to help Internet users "become more savvy" and protect themselves from online predators.
Opponents say the bill overreaches. Republican Rep. Jim Durkin of LaGrange says adults should be responsible for their own safety when using such sites.
The legislation now goes to the Senate.

Commissioned by FIFA, the special order case, handmade by a single master craftsman in Louis Vuitton's historic Asnières workshop near Paris, has been meticulously designed to accommodate the celebrated Trophy, which measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of semi-precious malachite. Covered in Louis Vuitton's iconic Monogram canvas, the travel case is fitted with the company's signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy's rich gold.
Like all Louis Vuitton special orders, the FIFA World Cup Trophy case was made at the company's original workshop in Asnières, which opened in 1859. The case opens at the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be removed easily when, at the final on 11th July in Johannesburg, watched by many millions of people across the globe, it will be presented.

Has Google Reached The Perception Tipping Point?
from the an-important-question dept
We've noticed this a bit ourselves, with some of the moves the company has made in the last few years showing a distinct change in tone. Whereas there was a point that Google seemed to be defending legal battles on principle, when the company capitulated with the record labels about YouTube, with the Associated Press and, most recently, in its (still in court) book settlement, a different story emerged. In all of those cases, the deals made Google stronger -- while making competitors weaker by not standing up for some key principles. Google started to use its massive cash coffers not to defend key principles, but to dump the problem off on smaller players. Of course, I believe this has already started to come back to haunt the company. The fact that publishers knew they could get a book settlement out of Google was because it had given in on the YouTube and AP deals without standing up for fair use.
Either way, it became quite clear that Google was no longer Silicon Valley's defender. It was Google's defender. And, of course, some will argue that's exactly as it should be. Google has no responsibility to stand up for the principles of others. At the same time, many will claim that Google would be silly not to use its money to harm competitors. But these all showed a particularly un-Google-like view of the world. It was that "don't be evil" stand that made people trust them. It was that belief (real or perceived) that Google was entirely focused on making the world better for everyone that built up that trust. These moves (and some of the moves Anil discusses in his piece) may make the shareholders happy in the short-term. But they end up harming reputation in the long-term.
As Google is fighting accusations of antitrust, the message it keeps trying to spread is that competition is only a click away. The company would be wise to remember that itself, because sometimes it doesn't actually act that way.
That said, I don't believe the company is acting "evil" or that it should be accused of any sort of antitrust violations. But the company has certainly acted a lot less "Googley" lately, and Anil is correct in saying that it appears a lot of folks internal to the company don't really recognize that (or want to believe it). It's definitely hard to keep that kind of culture and attitude as a company gets bigger (and, as some of its earlier employees sail off). And, to its credit, Google has certainly been able to keep a "good" reputation for a lot longer than other companies (and longer than many suspected Google could keep it). But that message has been drifting, and Google would do well to recognize how the external world is perceiving it.
Longtime Googler Matt Cutts responded to Anil's analysis in what I'd consider to be an open letter to other Googlers to take Anil's words seriously, rather than angrily (or just dismissing it as idle criticism). Hopefully that message gets through.

Case Study One: eMentoring
Jennifer Leigh is the director of J.Leigh & Associates based in Brisbane, Queensland. Jenny spends much of her time working with non-government and non-profit organisations, both as a consultant and volunteer. One aspect of her work is done with community organisations taking a development approach to community-based transport in Queensland.
Sarah Stewart talked to Jenny in June 2010 about how she used online communication tools in her business as consultant, mentor and facilitator.
What online communication technology do you use?
I mostly use Skype for one-to-one mentoring sessions and group business meetings. I have been using Skype for a year and have found it to be so successful that I now offer it as a standard service. In the past I have travelled to an organisation for a week and delivered information in one massive lump, which has been overload for staff. Now I use Skype to provide incremental learning on a weekly basis initially which is then distanced out as the person feels needed. This provides a far more flexible service that meets the needs of staff and prevents information overload. It allows me to use my time more effectively and reduces costs to the organisation because they do not have to pay my travel and accommodation expenses.
In the future I want to look at how I can use 'Google Documents' for collaborative work, and YouTube for disseminating information and education videos.
How do you use Skype for mentoring?
Skype allows me to provide an individualised mentoring service that I just would not be able to do in a face-to-face context because of the geographical distances in Queensland. The eMentoring I do tends to be weekly at first, then monthly, then whenever I am needed. We address transport issues and do activities like talk and work our way through documents or the Queensland Government Transport website.
What other things do you use Skype for?
I use Skype for business meetings, especially in my unpaid role as chairwoman of the Transport Development and Solutions Alliance. The TDSA is a non-profit, self-funding organisation so we have very limited funding. Using online communication has enabled us to reduce costs, and it has also given us a greater representation on the TDSA committee. This is because people can join committee meetings online, whereas before, geographical distances meant they could not go to face-to-face meetings.
How do you get buy-in from staff and organisations?
What I have done is invited managers and IT administrators to our initial meetings so they can see what Skype is and how it works. I have found that once organisations see the value of web conferencing with Skype in terms of finance and networking, they have quickly taken it on board for their business. Seeing how it works encourages managers and IT administrators to address issues such as firewalls, which have previously prevented them from using online technology. So I have found there is a trickling effect to technology uptake.
How have you built up relationships with people using Skype?
I haven't had any problems building online relationships with the people I mentor or work with. I use webcam so we can see each other, which is a great help. Having said that, some people prefer to be anonymous and not to be seen on webcam.
What difficulties have you had and how have you overcome them?
When I started eMentoring I had problems with organisational firewalls and IT policies that prevented me using Skype with staff. But as I said before, once managers saw how it worked these issues were resolved. The main problem with the technology has been variability of Internet performance. When we first started using Skype it was a big drama when the connection dropped. But now we have become confident with the technology we cope much better and take it in our stride.
What tips would you pass on to facilitators who are new to using online communication?
Begin with the assumption there will be some technology glitches and this is perfectly normal.

This was an interesting conversation for me, mainly as I have been a skype user for years for family connection purposes. I am now in the planning stages to establish my own business some of which will take place on line. Other than Illuminate I have only used Flashmeeting with an adult community education network here in NZ, problems there included connectivity at morning tea and lunchtime as the members either were at schools or technical institutes, the various systems could not cope with overload due to checking trademe etc.
Skype appears to be the most accessible tool of its type, would you agree? and certainly becoming common parlance when discussing network enhancement.
The organisation I work for [for 2 more weeks] will not allow skype to be used on the IT system for general staff, although it is allowed for interviews for new staff. The organisation uses OCS Office Communicator System, and the software programme is apparently easily downloadable, is this something anyone has experience of?

I sent out your comment to Twitterland and the suggestions from @academicobgyn and @joegormally were to try out GoToMeeting
- Friday, August 13, 2010
- Sun äitis said...
I received Sarah's request through Twitter, and here are my suggestions:
- in cases where the participants (or myself!) can't install Skype due to IT-regulations of the organization I use Tokbox for videocalls and chatting. They just changed their policy, but there is still an option for a free account. The paid versions also support videoconferencing.
- I have also used Dimdim and Adobe ConnectNow
Best wishes

- Sarah Stewart said...
Irmeli, how experienced are you with DimDim? We have a DimDim session in September. If you're free, would you be able to hang out with us and give us tips about how to use it? Our meeting is Friday 10th September 11am (NZ)
- Saturday, August 14, 2010
- Sun äitis said...
I haven't used Dimdim very much, since the "official" videoconferencing tool at my school is Adobe ConnectPro. I have made some experiments with Dimdim with my friends, though. I feel the user interface is quite intuitive, it wasn't difficult to figure out how to join the meeting, how to share the presentation and so on.
One of my friends is using Dimdim even with her contacts in Africa, where the connections aren't very good, and claims that every now and then they actually manage to carry out a conversation :)
It would be nice to test the use of Dimdim with you, but as it is, I haven't got any idea of my schedule for the weeks to come. Let's be in touch.
- Saturday, August 14, 2010
- Sarah Stewart said...
Sounds like your DimDim experience is on par with mine :) But it goes without saying, you are very welcome to attend any of the sessions on FO2010.
How do you find AdobeConnect, Irmeli? Looks like we're going to move from Elluminate to AdobeConnect.

Compared to Skype I find Adobe ConnectPro quite clumsy. It's ok when I am to give a presentation to a large group of people (which I seldom do!), but in situations of more interaction there are almost always some unexpected things to concider.
E.g. I have a group of six student teachers who meet every Monday night for two to three hours. Almost every time somebody has problems with his microphone or speakers, and it's difficult to try and troubleshoot through ACP.
There is one thing that really annoys me even if the sounds worked fine. I miss a role that would be between the present roles of participant and presenter. I believe the student should be able to talk, send video and show a presentation, BUT I don't think he should have full presenter rights and mess up the view for all participants! (my students never do this on purpose, it's always accidental, but nevertheless annoying).
The other thing I don't like is, that you can't uppload pdf-files, only ppt. Quite surprising, considering it's Adobe ConnectPro! I'm a Mac user and make my presentations with Keynote, and its pdf-converter works much better than its ppt-converter. That's why I'd like to be able to use pdfs in ACP.
But enough with the negative stuff, there are also things I like in ACP. E.g. sometimes a students needs help in setting up a blog, embedding a video, adding soundtrack to his slideshare etc. It's easy to get together with the student in ACP, share my screen and show the student, how the thing is done. Since somebody else will probably have similar problems, it's a good idea to always record these adhoc instruction sessions and share the link in the course blog (I wonder why they haven't introduced embedding option yet!).

I have only used Skype so that my kids (elementary age) can visit with their grandparents. I'm interested to see how Skype would work as a web conferencing tool where you are conversing with a larger group of people.

I've used Skype for some multiway conversations, but there are other services if you want to do more than just talk. DimDim and TokBox have been mentioned and I've signed up for free acounts for both of these, though I haven't used them yet.
I work with lots of IT groups as a facilitator for one of my clients, and IT membership organisation. The Information Security community definitely has concerns over Skype and other comunication platforms. From the stories I've heard, Jenny's approach of demonsrating the benefits to the people who want to use such tools seems to have the best chance of success.

I've used Skype predominantly as a one to one conferencing option and calls to family o/seas. I would be interested to see how it functions with multi-users. I know a lot of podcasters use Skype (with a plug-in) to record their shows. It would be interesting to see how they do it.
I've used DimDim and WizIQ and find them not bad for online collaboration. Though they are not as fully featured as Elluminate.
IT always have concerns with security, and you are right Chris, they definately need to get involved from an early stage to see the benefits.
Either that or you use a bit of guerilla warfare to get it happening as suggested by Stephen Downes in this video Guerilla Warfare in E-learning.

Hi MattyBee could I twist your arm and get you to give us a hand with facilitating the DimDim session later in September?

I have used Skype to help my students and student teachers develop an ear for various accents. As they need to interact with people from various parts of the globe, they need to follow various accents.
Hence, I arrange Skype conference with Chinese, Australian, UK and US friends and bring in my Indian student teachers as well. To lower the inhibition level, I also have school students in the conversation club.
Participants learn about each others' country and culture at the discussions. This way, they overcome their inhibitions to work in a multi-national environment.
Most flexible volunteers are participants of WikiEducator and Facilitating Online programs.

Thanks for this case study! So valuable hearing practical experiences in context!
I use Skype for;
1:1 "meet n greet" with video, group call without video using mentoring / facilitation approach, and to chair meetings remotely.
After a bit of emailing it's great to "meet" someone and be able to see them. However more often than not, I don't use video.
When I faciliate a group session, or chair a meeting I'm writing notes, looking things up online to share a link etc so it's good to have voice only.
However there's the invariable awkwardness of not being able to see when someone's about to speak, or the subtle non verbals in a meeting that impact how you chair(change speed, check for discomfort, change level of info etc)
So I've had to prepare more, use a predictable structure, be more explicit with Q, and intentional pauses etc. A work in progress to be sure!
Thanks again for sharing your experience! Just think of the carbon footprint you're reducing ;)

9 Reasons Why It's Time to Dust Off Your Flat Iron
We never thought we'd say this, but it may be time to dust off the flat iron that's hiding under your bathroom sink. We've talked about the return of pin-straight locks before—thanks mainly to '90s minimalism on the runway—but the latest rendition is the freshest take we've seen! Sleek and shiny with a sharp part, this version is brushed off the shoulders and sprayed in place with a heavy dose of hairspray. Seen last fall on Theyskens' Theory's runway, then this spring on models at shows like Dries Van Noten, it's Hollywood's newest red carpet favourite. Click through our slideshow to see how Kate Mara, Sandra Bullock, and more are wearing the look.
After she chopped her locks, but before she bleached them, the actress attended the Emmy Awards with her strands smoothly pushed behind her ears. Hairstylist Alex Polollo applied Vidal Sassoon's Pro Series Mega Firm Hold Gel ($5) to Mara's wet locks before blow-drying for a smooth finish.
Barrymore paired this sleek style with bold lipstick, this season's version of the slicked back bun and bright lip.
You'll need serious shine to cop Bullock's locks at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Try John Frieda's new weekly Colour Refreshing Gloss ($12): apply after conditioner, leave for three minutes, and rinse.
Madekwe used Shu Uemura's Nourishing Protective Oil ($69) for shine, then L'Oreal's Elnett Hairspray ($12) for hold, at a pre-Golden Globes party in Los Angeles.
Hairstylist Ryan Richman flat-ironed Hyland's locks for the L.A. premiere of her film Vampire Academy, then applied a dime-size amount of Oribe's Rough Luxury Moulding Wax ($35) on her hairline and crown for hold and shine.
Williams wore her locks pin-straight and glossy at the Golden Globes last month. Keep your strands in place and cop her shiny finish with a glossing hairspray like Aussie's Dual Personality Hi Shine + Hi Hold ($4).

Washington's Next Fiscal Battle Q+A
President Barack Obama had a clear political edge in his fight with Republicans over the fiscal cliff, and used it to his advantage. In the upcoming battle over federal borrowing and spending, the leverage will be more evenly divided and the outcome less predictable.
In the fiscal cliff fight, Obama wanted to block automatic New Year's Day tax increases on everyone but the country's highest earners. Republicans were trying to protect upper-income people from those tax hikes, but eventually gave in because they didn't want to be blamed for the higher middle-class taxes that a stalemate would have triggered.
Next come three deadlines that will almost certainly become entwined.
The government will run out of cash in about two months. The Obama administration will need congressional approval to borrow more money or face a first-ever federal default, threatening global, economy-rattling consequences.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have said they won't agree to a debt-limit extension without an accord to cut spending. Just as adamantly, Obama says the government's debt ceiling must be raised and he won't negotiate over it, though he says he would bargain over spending cuts and tax increases to reduce federal deficits.
At around the same time, automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs are due to begin after winning a two-month reprieve in the fiscal cliff deal. And in late March, money financing federal agencies expires and new legislation will be needed to prevent a government shutdown. Republicans are sure to use both those measures to try forcing Obama to accept more spending cuts.
Here's a look at the political pressures each side brings to the battle.
Q: Would Republicans or Democrats really force a federal default just to get their way in a fight over spending?
A: Most wouldn't and it seems unlikely. But they came close two years ago.
As the government neared its debt ceiling in the summer of 2011, the two sides battled to the brink. They finally agreed to about $1 trillion in 10-year spending cuts and created a congressional "supercommittee" to find an additional $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction. The panel produced nothing, triggering a like amount in automatic, across-the-board cuts that Obama and many lawmakers are still trying to find a way to skirt.
That 2011 fight created plenty of worry that the White House and congressional Republicans could become so deadlocked and adamant that they would plunge the government into default. That concern hasn't receded, especially with a fresh infusion of conservative Republicans to join the GOP's tea party-powered 2010 freshman class. That group has proved hard for party leaders, especially Boehner, to control.
This time, many in Washington see threatening default as an empty tactic. The potential consequences are too dangerous, including higher interest rates and tighter credit that would wound the economy and make it costlier for the government to borrow money for a long time.
Q: Then what's the problem?
A: Both sides have reason to think the other will have to cave in. And each has core supporters insisting that this time, their leaders must not yield.
Conservatives angry over the New Year's Day fiscal cliff deal, which boosted income taxes on top earners, want the GOP to block further tax increases and force deep spending cuts, including on costly federal benefit programs like Medicare. Liberals eager to cash in on Obama's re-election say it's time to push hard for his agenda of protecting federal programs and to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans even more.
Q: What leverage does Obama have?
A: Far more than in the 2011 debt limit fight.
Back then, Obama was worrying about getting re-elected in 2012 and had no interest in a stalemate that could destabilize an already frail economy. Republicans had high hopes of capturing the Senate, hopes that might be enhanced if the economy weakened further. And Boehner's new House majority had momentum and was throwing its weight around.
Yet when the smoke lifted from that fight, polls showed the public largely unhappy with Republicans, considering them too inflexible. Now, Democrats are on offense following Obama's re-election, Democratic gains in the House and Senate and an economy that continues gathering strength, though slowly.
Also helping Obama: The fiscal cliff fight left the GOP divided and Boehner weakened. Most Senate Republicans backed the final compromise between McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden while most House Republicans defied Boehner and opposed it, raising questions about his effectiveness in leading them this year. In addition, the business community, an influential contributor and constituent of the GOP, strongly opposes a federal default. Powerful groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are already making it clear to both parties that lawmakers must raise the debt ceiling, and Democrats think that pressure will be felt by Republicans.
Q: What makes Republicans think they can prevail?
A: They are united around the goal of shrinking the budget. Insisting on spending cuts in return for a debt limit extension is exactly what the GOP wants to make the upcoming fight about. Polling suggests that on those issues, voters seem more inclined to back Republicans. Surveys show most people don't like the idea of extending the government's borrowing limit and back the concept of cutting federal spending, at least until specific programs are targeted.
In addition, after the 2011 debt limit fight, Standard & Poor's downgraded the nation's credit rating for the first time and indicated it might do the same if lawmakers didn't find additional deficit reduction. Republicans say this puts further pressure on Obama to yield.
Q: What about the fights over preventing budget-wide spending cuts or a government shutdown?
A: Both parties think those two prospects will prompt a search for savings that will eventually be tied to raising the $16.4 trillion ceiling on government debt.
GOP lawmakers are trying to create leverage by saying that unless there's a deficit-reduction deal, they're willing to partly shut down the government and live with the automatic spending cuts — which are divided evenly between defense and domestic programs. They interpret the fiscal cliff deal as setting a final figure for new tax revenues and say the focus should be put back on spending cuts.
Democrats believe a federal shutdown would hurt Republicans politically, as it did in the 1990s when the GOP Congress battled President Bill Clinton. Obama insists that additional spending cuts must be coupled with higher taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans to produce a "balanced" package. Polling showed the public backed him when he sought higher taxes on the wealthy in the fiscal cliff fight.

- Potential to reality - Software, the missing link
- What you will need for hassle free video editing
- Why does video take up so much hard drive space?
- What is Firewire?
- Firewire Vs USB
- Video editing software
- Dealing with DVD
Quality Digital Video (DV) became a possibility with the arrival of the Sony DCR-VX1000 in 1995, a landmark DV camcorder, years ahead of its rivals. It provided a video signal quality equal to most camcorders available today, was the first consumer camcorder with a Firewire connection, possessed easy-to-use controls, and the lens was professional quality.
The Sony DCR-VX1000 should have been what the Canon 300D was for digital SLRs and the iPod was for digital music on the go. However, it was doomed never to spark the DV revolution. Why? Simple; the software available at the time was horrible to use, expensive to buy and impossible to install.
Digital video for the masses could only begin when the accompanying software was easy enough to use without requiring a Degree in rocket science. This fusion of software, affordable DV camcorders and fast PCs with large hard drive capacities happened around 2002.
On the PC side, Windows XP offered Firewire support and the plug-and-play connectivity promised with Windows 98. While Windows was ironing out bugs, Apple stole the limelight with the arrival of iMovie, a simple to use program that allowed anybody with an iMac and DV camcorder to make movies within hours. The PC industry quickly followed suit with variations of professional video editing programs. These offered lots of features but generally had clunky interfaces when compared to the slick simplicity of iMovie. Mature programs developed specifically for the video enthusiast, eventually arrived over the next couple of years offering the features needed to easily create home movies.
The current crop of video editing packages has matured remarkably, with many programs now into their 7th and 8th revisions. That means a lot of mistakes were made and a lot of lessons learnt. Users entering the world of video editing can now enjoy using applications that are not only more stable, but also more intuitive than ever before.What you will need for hassle free video editing
Once you have recorded your video footage, the next step is getting it onto your PC and transforming the raw video into a polished movie. Most newer PCs will have enough power and memory capacity to handle DV editing tasks but as a good standard rule always remember, the more RAM the better. Hard drive capacity is also important as video files can take up large amounts of space.
The following figures are not the minimum requirements for working with DV, rather a recommendation on the appropriate system to make life easier.
- Pentium 4 processor
- Windows XP (SP2)
- AGP video card with 128MB RAM
- 19-inch monitor, with a second 15-inch monitor if possible, LCD screen not necessary.
- 16-bit Sound card
- Dual format DVD recorder
- 120GB drive for capture/editing application
- Second 120GB Hard Drive running at 7200 revolutions per minute (rpm). (DV footage takes up 4GB for each 20 minutes stored on the hard drive).

Difference between revisions of "List of country calling codes"
Revision as of 23:20, 26 November 2012
This article is a travel topic
When calling a phone number in another country, there is usually a prefix you have to dial to indicate that you're placing an international call; this varies by country. After that international dialling prefix, you must dial the international country code for the country you are calling, followed by the local number. This is a list of those country codes.
Note: The United States and its possessions, Canada, and several Caribbean nations share the international calling code 1, with each US state (or parts of US states), province, territory, or island nation given its own three-digit "area code". The following list includes the area codes for such nations outside the US and Canada, as well as those of US possessions outside of the United States proper.
International prefix
Before dialling the area code, you usually have to dial an international prefix. This is so that the country code won't be confused with the first few digits of a local or national telephone number.
See the list at International dialling prefix.
Alternatively, if you have a mobile phone, you can dial the '+' key first before the country code regardless of which country you are calling from.

I am running a custom 3.9 kernel and after update to systemd 203-1 from testing I get this:
WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c:82 drm_warn_on_modeset_not_all_locked+0x8d/0xc0()
I guess its related to:
Just a heads up, had to boot from usb flash and chroot and downgrade to systemd 202-2. Anybody else with this problem, Intel HD2000 here?
I know that kernel is not from the testing repo but I guess it should apply also (this one is pure mainline kernel, just stripped down for my configuration).

I have [testing] enabled on my laptop and am experiencing no such problems; different video though (nvidia).
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne … b8657a58d8
I guess this should fix it, but I still don't have a clue why systemd 203 triggers this in my case, anyway that panic notifier is bogus as explained in the link in the first post, and AFAICT this patch addresses that very same issue. Pull request is for 3.10 but I really hope they will backport this to 3.9.1 (if not I'll do it myself if it doesn't brake the API too much ). For now I have to stay with systemd 202.
Thanks graysky, another archer reported that systemd upgrade went smoothly for him also, so for now I really hope this is an isolated case.
After compiling the kernel from Daniel Vetter's intel-drm tree regarding this commit in particular
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm … 3778993a1d
I can see the real culprit for the kernel panic:
So a NULL pointer dereference bug triggered by systemd. Now I can search for relevant bug reports or submit one if there are none...
So a NULL pointer dereference bug triggered by systemd. Now I can search for relevant bug reports or submit one if there are none...
Really? Because it looks like something in SMACK is at fault here based on the trace. I can't possibly see how a userspace process could be considered directly responsible for a kernel panic.
Lennart said that also, so I've filed this on kernel bugzilla.
Why I was confused at the moment was because of the fact that I have never had a kernel panic after updating. It was in 99% of cases induced after a kernel upgrade. I havent had a clue where this report should be filed up against (ext4 was there because of the xattrs but I wasn't sure).
Got the same. Checked with selinux - it has a comment about the dget() call from which the NULL pointer came, that it can return NULL on boot - but smack doesn't seem to check dget()'s result before sending it off to a getxattr() call.
going to test the following change soon, I'm in a hurry to get my stuff working after a few update-breaks; and compiling a kernel takes ages here so I thought I'd drop off this paste here as the backtrace above was useful (my screen wasn't big enough to show the important parts of it )

Ok, sorry. I haven't noticed your post about that.
Well I did what I could for now - I've disabled SMAC in kernel, recompiled and there's no panic. But I'll probably find the time tonight to look a bit closely at the panics (now I have a working kernel with systemd-204) and try to find the culprit. Also I'm there to confirm if any of the Blµb's patches work for me.
might be a good idea to update the topic title (remove the systemd part)
Also, you didn't actually need to recompile a kernel without smack just don't activate it (ie remove `security=smack' from the kernel commandline, unless you made the kernel default to it - I always let it default to DAC and specify the security system in grub.cfg for such reasons )
Tried to patch it in a different way too, didn't work - but I also have the problem that my screen's not big enough to show a full trace so the upper half (the actually important functions) are cut off, so I'd need to setup a VM to actually debug this.

No need to, I've contacted Casey Schaufler and asked him to take a look at the bug report

Inaugural White Truck Road TripPosted in Events on April 1, 2011
Photographers: John Reynolds
There was no deep mud. No death-defying rocky climbs. No high-speed jumps. No days on end without civilization. But there was four-wheeling, low range, and a good time had by all.
We're talking about the inaugural White Truck Road Trip. While assembling our Project White Truck Dodge 3500 we've noticed that quite a few of our friends also own white 4x4 pickups, so we put out an invite to a fun camping weekend in fullsize white 4x4s. If you're hardcore and you only like buggies, Boggers, and high-speed fiberglass, then this may seem boring to you, but if you're like most of us who could use a weekend out in the dirt to relax and just explore, then consider having your own White Truck Road Trip. We're already looking forward to the next one.

Aah or Eek!? Drawing on the Furniture
Blame it on Pamela Ball who let her kids decorate her white John Derian sofa with fabric markers back in 2008. After some initial shock, many of us admired her casual attitude and the style juxtaposition of the doodled-on Derian.
The look has caught on a bit, mostly with second-hand, inexpensive or semi-damaged furniture. Above are some examples - what do you think? A little nutty or do you like the look and idea?
- "Wreckorated" IKEA Karlstad Sofa by Chez Beeper Babe
- Doodled IKEA Klippan Sofa by Hidden in France
- Sofa decorated by adults at a housewarming party on Hairy Teeth
- Kid-decorated George Smith sofas on A Bloomsbury Life

Wolfgang Lachman
Born: May 26, 1928
Berlin, Germany
Wolfgang was the only son of observant Jewish parents living in Berlin. Though trained as a mechanical engineer, Wolfgang's father ran a wholesale kerchief and handkerchief business that he had taken over from his father-in-law. Wolfgang's family lived in an apartment above the business. They enjoyed vacationing at their country home in Neuenhagen, a suburb of Berlin.
1933-39: I began school when I was 5; that year Hitler was named leader of Germany. Every morning we had to sing three songs: the German anthem, the anthem of Hitler's party and a song about reclaiming German land lost in World War I. In 1938 my mother died of cancer. That same year, there were riots against the Jews. My father's store was marked with paint and a soldier stood outside telling people not to shop in Jewish stores.
1940-44: My father died in 1940. I lived with my grandmother until 1942, when we were sent to the Riga ghetto. When I was 14 I was assigned to sort German uniforms. Once I stole shoes to replace the ones I'd worn every day since leaving Berlin, and which had gotten too small and had practically no soles left. But I was caught and taken to the commander, who beat me. He sentenced me to be shot, but then changed his mind. I was issued wooden shoes, and had to carry an iron bar up and down four flights of stairs 100 times as punishment.
Wolfgang was deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 16. He was liberated by the British army in April 1945 and immigrated to the United States in 1946.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A pass play with six minutes to play in the
game was typical of Tennessee Tech's luck Saturday afternoon as
guests in Tennessee State's Homecoming game.
With the host Tigers leading 28-7, TSU quarterback Dominic Grooms picked up a low, bouncing snap, fired a pass through the arms of leaping linebacker Charlie Seivers, and the ball went through all six arms of three Golden Eagle players in the end zone into the hands of Tiger receiver Chris Johnson for a touchdown.
Tennessee State (7-2/4-1 OVC) took advantage of some Tech mistakes and a lot of huge breaks to claim a 41-14 Ohio Valley Conference victory in front of 24,361 fans at LP Field. The win clinched the Sgt. York Trophy for the Tigers for the second consecutive year. Tech (3-7/1-5 OVC) now prepares to host Jacksonville State next week for Homecoming in Tucker Stadium.
Tennessee State didn't suffer a turnover in the contest, and scored touchdowns following two of Tech's three turnovers.
"Tennessee State played solid. They didn't make mistakes, they had no turnovers and not many penalties, and they took care of the ball," said TTU head coach Watson Brown.
"It was the little things that hurt us. We played better than it looks, but we just made critical mistakes. We had them stopped all four times in the second half, and just made a mistake in a critical situation.
"We had the ball four times in the second half, and we stopped ourselves the first three times with mistakes," Brown continued.
Tech tied the game at 7-7 in the first quarter, but the Tigers scored the next 34 points to build a 41-7 lead. Josh Lowery hit Tim Benford for a 21-yard touchdown late in the game to finish the scoring. It was the ninth TD catch of the year for the freshman from Chattanooga.
With the catch, Benford tied the school record for most receptions in a season (55), and pulled to within one of the school mark for most TD catches in a season.
Javarris Williams rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns to pace the TSU attack, which scored four times on the ground. Quarterback Dominic Grooms was 15-for-19 for 138 yards and two touchdowns.
For Tech, freshman Dontey Gay was the leading rusher with 49 yards on 11 carries, while freshman Tremaine Hudson had 47 yards on five carries. Hudson finished the game with 145 all-purpose yards. Cedric Wilkerson scored Tech's first score, a one-yard run in the first quarter.
Lee Sweeney was 9-for-19 for 94 yards, while Lowery went 1-for-2 for 21 yards.
On defense, Corey Reed topped Tech with 12 tackles, including two tackles-for-loss. It was his ninth career game with double figure tackles.
Maurice Smith also had double figures in tackles with 10, his 13th career double-digit effort.
It's Homecoming for Tennessee State in LP Field. The last time Tech played at the Tigers' Homecoming drew an OVC record 41,000 fans.
Tennessee State has won four straight over the Golden Eagles, and owns a 13-8 advantage in the all-time series. The Tigers won last year's game, 45-28, in Cookeville.
The Golden Eagles are without the services of center Malcolm Jones, moving junior Peter Taylor back into the starting role with Scott Eller to back him up.
Tech is 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the OVC. Tennessee State is 6-2 overall and 3-1 in the league.
Tech won the coin toss and elected to defer, allowing TSU to receive the kickoff.
The Golden Eagle defense came out strong and held TSU to three-and-out, but returner Tim Benford fumbled the punt and TSU recovered. The Togers took advantage of the turnover and drove in for a touchdown two minutes later for a 7-0 lead. It turned out to be a five-play, 24-yard scoring drive after the turnover.
The Golden Eagle offense got things rolling late in the first quarter and cobbled together a 17-play, 70-yard scoring drive that chewed up 5:45 from the clock and tied the game at 7-7 jusst second before the end of the opening period. Cedric Wilkerson bulled into the end zone from the one-yard line for the score and Justin Kraemer converted the PAT to knot the score.
The drive was Tech's longest drive of the year in number of plays, and was the team's 12th scoring drive of 70 yards or more this season.
The Golden Eagle defense appeared to make a sensational goal line stand, halting the TSU ball carrier on fourth-and-goal from the one. However, when quarterback Dominic Grooms was stopped short of the goal line, he reached the ball close to the line and it was ruled a TD, putting the Tigers on top, 14-7, four minutes into the second quarter.
Antonio Robinson made a diving grab of a pass from Lee Sweeney to get Tech's next possession started with a 25-yard gain, and the offense marched all the way to the TSU nine, but stalled. Justin Kramer attempted a 29-yard field goal but missed, leaving the score at 14-7.
The Tigers answered with a drive of their own that took nearly five minutes. TSU went 80 yards in 11 plays and 4:53, with Williams going the final five yards for the touchdown and a 21-7 lead with 2:57 to play in the half.
A pass interference call against the Golden Eagles aided TSU on the Tigers' first possession of the second half. On third-and-25, Grooms pass was well overthrown, but the receiver tripped and the penalty was called. TSU used that impetus to drive 86 yards in 14 plays, using 7:49, to make it 28-7 on a nine-yard pass from Grooms to JaJuan Spillman.
Tennessee State made it 35-7 with 6:11 remaining on a six-yard TD pass from Grooms to Chris Johnson (see above). The score capped an eight-play, 47-yard scoring drive that lasted 3:51.
Junior Josh Lowery took over at quarterback in the final six minutes for the Golden Eagles. It was his first action since suffering a rib injury at Murray State (Oct. 11).
Anthony Levine intercepted a Tech pass and returned it about 25 yards, then flipped a lateral to Eugene Clifford, who took it another 25 yards to the Tech 22. TSU was able to push that turnover into the end zone on a 12-yard run by Preston Brown with 2:18 remaining to make it 42-7.
A 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration after the scored forced TSU to kickoff from its own 15-yard line. The Golden Eagles started their final possession at the 43 following the kickoff return, and Tech moved 57 yards in just five plays for a touchdown. Lowery fired a strike to Tim Benford for a 21-yard score to make it 41-14.
The TD catch by Benford gave him 55 receptions for the season, tying the TTU school record for most catches in a season. It was his ninth TD catch of the year, putting him one short of the school record for most touchdown receptions.
Tennessee State capitalizes on mistakes and breaks for 41-14 win

2013 WCC Scholarship Dinnerby Michael Warren • May 3, 2013 Share:
Dinner in downtown Chicago on a beautiful spring day is great in itself. Add to that several Wabash men as well as prospective students and their families and it is even greater.
The 2013 Wabash Club of Chicago Scholarship Dinner was held on Monday, April 29 at Maggiano's in downtown Chicago. Wabash men and their guests along with a some prospective students enjoyed a great meal and conversation before hearing remarks from President Pat White. President White praised the Wabash men in attendance for continued loyalty and support of the College, but much of his remarks were directed at the students. After learning that each one would indeed be a member of the Class of 2017, he told stories of current Wabash students given evidence of what they can become and the greatness in them that is not yet known.
Special thanks to Eric Schoettle '93 for serving as emcee for the evening and for engaging the younger alumni in attendance so that this event and other can continue with full support of the Chicago area alumni.

I was fortunate enough to be invited last month to a meeting of the Macadam Bourbon Bunch, a group of local Bourbon fans who gather periodically to talk and drink American's leading whiskey.
This gathering was a special occasion, on two levels. One, the group tasted cask samples of producers Elijah Craig and the elusive Elmer T. Lee to pick specific casks that would be bottled for and sold by local outlet Macadam Liquor.
Two, it was a chance to meet at last my longtime online wine pal Hoke Harden, wine and spirits business veteran who I met in online wine discussion groups back in the 1990s. Hoke was hear as an expert on Bourbon, walking us through our tasting.
I've always known Hoke to be a friendly, knowledgeable guy. He moved to Oregon a few years ago from California. How did it take so long to finally connect IRL (sorry, yes, I just wrote that)? Hoke and I chatted like old friends, and then the group assembled to hear Hoke brief us on the tasting.
We started with three samples from Elijah Craig, all cask strength so around 140 proof. The style here is more classic Bourbon to my mind. Rich, sweet, oaky, with lots of caramel and size. The first sample seemed the most balanced and interesting, and later I found it to be the favorite of the group. I'm hoping that's the one picked for the EC single cask bottling. Of course, it will be watered back to 80 proof or so for bottling, and Hoke talked to us about how that will change the final product. Still, the differences were clear in these samples and watering them back won't change that.
Then we moved to five samples from Elmer T. Lee, all at bottling strength so a little easier to handle. Elmer is apparently one of the old guard, and someone who doesn't let cask samples out too readily. This is a treat. He uses more rye than typical, and goes for a more savory style with lighter color and less char, maybe more to the buttery smooth end of Bourbon. Again, the first sample was the best. In fact, I'd easily say it's the best Bourbon I've ever tasted. Not the blockbuster of Elijah Craig, it's more subtle if you can call Bourbon subtle. I'm hoping this cask is the one that gets bottled. I want more.
If you're interested in getting hold of the final products from this event, check with Macadam Liquor. I stopped in a week after the tasting and bought some tequilla, something I don't drink much but do enjoy, particularly palata (silver) bottlings. The manager said it's unclear exactly when the special bottlings will arrive, but it should be this summer. Bourbon lovers, check it out. And you might ask about the Bourbon Bunch. Good folks, they.

Merove favoured genetic familiarity last week, but will this week's team member choose a close relative or opt for something more obscure?
Ben Roberts – ARKive In-House Designer
Favourite species? Tiger
Why? I've always loved tigers since I was little. They seem mysterious, powerful and graceful all at the same time. Plus, they just look cool! I used to draw them, paint them, make lego tigers, and do etchings of them. All that's left art-wise is to photograph them – maybe one day! I did used to think all Siberian tigers were white though, for camouflage in the snow!
The tiger is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List. Tiger parts are used in many traditional Oriental medicines as an anti-inflammatory, even though it is listed on the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and trade is therefore banned. The market for tiger fur is also increasing. Habitat loss and the consequential decrease in prey populations have led to tigers taking domestic livestock and coming into conflict with local farmers. Habitat loss has also isolated certain populations, which remain in one area and eventually die out.

Turner School Formally Dedicated
Bob and Carolyn Turner, second and third from the right, stand with their son Andrew Turner '11, far right, Bob Turner's sister Susan Flinn, far left, and his mother Janet Turner.
By Frank Radosevich II
October 29, 2012
Bradley formally dedicated this month the Robert and Carolyn Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, an independent school providing students with skills needed to succeed and achieve in business.
A first of its kind in the nation, the Turner School offers all students across campus the opportunity to study entrepreneurship and innovation in classrooms and experiential settings.
The school is named in honor of the Turners, long-time supporters of Bradley who established the Robert and Carolyn Turner Center for Entrepreneurship in 2002. The Turner Chair of Entrepreneurship in the Foster College of Business Administration also is named in their honor.
"The Turner School will now give our students the tools and applied experiences they need to become successful entrepreneurs in a very uncertain economy," said President Joanne Glasser at the dedication ceremony. "Bradley is deeply honored that the Turners have entrusted us with this profound responsibility."
Bob Turner '77 MBA '78 said the idea for the school began in 1999 when he met with University officials to discuss the creation of a center for entrepreneurship. The concept eventually grew into a stand-alone academic unit that emphasizes new and creative ways of thinking in the world of business or social enterprises.
"The key to a thriving, vibrant economy in a global economy is innovation," Bob Turner said. "It's the ability for people not only to think about starting a business at some point in time but to be innovative throughout their entire career."
A successful entrepreneur himself, Bob Turner and his brother Mark Turner '80 started their own investment business in 1990 in Berwyn, Pa. Today, as chairman and chief investment officer of Turner Investment, Bob Turner and his team manage about $11.6 billion in assets.
The Turner School, headquartered in the newly renovated Westlake Hall, is welcoming its first students this semester and the school plans to offer a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and an Entrepreneurship Scholar Program.
Both require entrepreneurial courses and elective classes, while the Scholar Program, similar to Bradley's Global Scholars Program, offers credit for specific experiential activities. Some activities may include participating in the Project Springboard Business Plan Competition, creating a new enterprise, pitching a new business plan or studying abroad in an entrepreneurial environment.
The new school will teach students how to start a business or social enterprise; network with colleagues, investors, employees and other stakeholders; evaluate opportunities and risks; develop products or services; and gain a global perspective on the business marketplace. The program will push students to think creatively and to seek out untapped opportunities and identify innovations that can be commercialized.

Google just launched their new browser and I must say it looks really good. It's called "Google Chrome" and is according to Google "a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier".
The browser has one box for literally everything, you type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages. Then there are the thumbnails of your fav sites so you can access your most favorite pages instantly from any new tab.
I recommend that you try it, it's super simple and easy to use and very very very resource easy. The installer completed in seconds and the Chrome was browser automatically up and running.
Then when you start using it you see that it's very striped but strangly includeds all what you need, nothing more and nothing less. For examble when I wanted to look at my default search engine and when into the drop-down for that the browser showed only my local engines, such as Google IS, Leit.is, Finna.is and Embla.
Also I like the not include in browsing history option, now I can travel around porn sites and my wife will never see them in the history ;-)
Super easy!
