New FTC Chair's Views On Google, Broadband Competition And Behavioral Advertising
from the sounds-decent-so-far... dept
Google has certainly has a dominant position in search advertising. There's no doubt about that. From our perspective, just having a dominant position doesn't in any way violate the law. It's if you do something -- as the Justice Department in the 1990s alleged that Microsoft did -- to exclude competitors illegally, that's when it becomes a problem.Then there's broadband competition, where he definitely does appear to be concerned about the lack of competition and the lack of transparency from current broadband providers:
If you get to a dominant position or a monopoly position by virtue of your own acumen, that's really the American way.
We believe consumers need to have notice and consent about what they're getting. It's very, very important that these providers tell consumers about the speed they're getting, and whether (ISPs) are making any types of management decisions in terms of the network that affect consumers....And, then, there's the question of behavioral advertising, where he believes that opt-in, rather than opt-out, makes a lot of sense:
In a perfect marketplace where you had more competitors, you wouldn't need the government necessarily to be terribly involved. Particularly in the consumer protection area, we have a big roll to play. Broadband is a deregulated product. That's good, we like deregulation generally. But when you have deregulation, you also have law enforcement to make sure people do the right thing.
I think some of the more enlightened companies do do opt-in. I think a lot of them don't. I think the better practice is always opt in.On the whole, then, he seems to not be too quick to bash companies for being successful, and seems to recognize that competition and transparency are important issues. Those are all good things. There are some fears however, that he's a bit quick on the trigger when it comes to regulating over that behavioral advertising issue, and doesn't seem to mind metered broadband, so long as customers know what they're getting.

Fiddler's Grove Festival ends after 42 years
Fiddler's Grove Festival ends after 42 years
Organizers in Iredell County have decided to end the Ole Time Fiddler's and Bluegrass Festival after 42 years.
Hank Van Hoy, whose father Harper started the festival in 1970, said the decision was based in part on the difficulty of organizing the festival while working full time and the cost of putting it on. He said it was better to leave people with good memories rather than have something just die on the vine.
Van Hoy said efforts to bring more innovations to the festival, including a competition for younger musicians, wasn't enough to increase crowds.
Tom Hanchett, a historian at the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, said the festival drew more than 10,000 people in the early days, but became a smaller, invitation-only event.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I've finally done it: I've crossed the threshold from quirky art teacher to full blown jean-jumper, thematic-sweater-vest, Keds-and-ankle-socks madness. You saw the warning signs what with the Painted Jean Dress, the Pencil and Notepad Skirt, not to mention the Pencil Shoes! But did you do anything about it? Did you step in, pull me aside, gently attempt to remove the rainbow hat from my head? Um, no. You didn't. So who's to blame here, people? I mean, really. I'd hold up a mirror but I don't think you'd be able to see it.
Although if we're really gonna point fingers, I gotta blame the librarians of the world and their Read Across America Week (hey, art teachers, we need an Art Across America Week! Let's start one, 'kay?). If you're not familiar, it's this week long thingie that involves reading (um, duh) and, for some reason, dressing silly. Crazy Hat Day just so happens to be one of those days.
Now the aforementioned Rainbow Hat I wore last year is a tough one to top but after sharing this Christian Dior palette hat last week, I got to thinkin': I can make this hat! Kinda!
I just so happened to have this hole-y (not to be confused with holy) beret in my stash of wacky hats that the kids wear when they pose for each other during impromptu drawing sessions (along with a sombrero, a knight's helmet and an ship captains hat. Ah, the treasures of a hoarder). I thought the creme color would make for the perfect background for my paint palette.
This was probably the easiest and fastest DIY to date. I just laid out wads of felt roving and proceeded to punch away. If you'd like more details on the whole felting process, you can read about my first venture into felting-land here. And then there's the felted Put a Bird on It sweater and an Anthropologie-inspired felted sweater here. I tol' you, I'm addicted. It's the whole stabbing and punching thing that I love. What?
Because I was stuck with the circular shape of the beret, I decided to "draw" the shape of the palette in black roving (not to mistaken for Cher's hair). You can see I drew all over my beret and then followed my line.
|Have you seen this movie? Or, more accurately, have you ever seen such a beautiful woman? I can hardly focus on the plot because Faye Dunaway's gorgeousness just prevents it. Such a stunner.
As I was punching away on the finishing touches of my beret, it reminded me of Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Bonnie Parker. You know, that whole beret-wearing vintage look. And, since you weren't around to stop me, it was then I decided I needed an entire Bonnie and Clyde/Crazy Art Teacher outfit.
"Hey! Bonnie! Over here! What do you think!? Can I join the Barrow Gang now or what? ...hello? Maybe I'll just come back when you're not holding a gun, ermkay?"
I started with this too-long/too-boring tweed skirt that'd been in my closet since...I dunno, my first year teaching? Which was like 15 years ago or something ridiculous like that. And that ain't nuthin cuz I still have my high school prom dresses and my first mail-order clothing purchase from ninth grade. I like to think of my closet as being akin to Hotel California. Clothing, you can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave! (P.S. I've not forgotten my promised closet tour post...it's coming).
After sketching out my tweedy art teacher skirt, I zipped over to the local craft place for sheets of colorful felt at $.34 a piece. After cutting them out, I used an applique stitch to add the "paper" to the crayon as well as those black designs that makes a Crayola crayon recognizable from it's lamer, waxier counterparts.
The finished crayons along with my original sketch.
You know I'm all about the applique. It was my Numero Uno fave way to reinvent an outfit until I discovered felting. Like I always tell ya, your machine can do this: set it to the zigzag setting, set the the zigs wide (I have a computerized sewing screen and I use the number 6) and the spacing close (I set my spacing at .5 which creates a solid line of zigs). This is the same method I used for my Pencil Skirt, my Rock Star Apron and, most recently, my Fulla Hot Air Dress.
Once the crayons were appliqued to the skirt, the felting began. If you are an art teacher then you know the study of lines is muy importante. I decided to have each crayon scrawl a different line onto my skirt. I think this will be fun to wear at the beginning of my line lessons. If you look closely, you'll see I drew the lines onto the skirt with white chalk.
I decided to only have lines at the bottom of the skirt on the backside. Cuz all ya'll know horizontal lines across the toshie woulda just been bad.
|What do you wear with a crayon skirt? Why crayon shoes, of course!
AND there you have it. When I stepped out of my bathroom in this look the other day, hubs took two steps back and grabbed the door frame. I mistook this for a "whoa, mama" move.
Me: Well! What do you think?
El Hubbo: Is this what you've been working on?
Me: Yeah! What. Do. You. THINK?!
Hubs: Um. I don't think I like it.
Me: WHAT?! Look at this outfit, it's amazing! Why don't you like it?
Hubs: It looks like a costume.
Which is precisely what it is. The Crazy Art Teacher Costume. All yours for five easy payments of $19.95. Shipping and handling not included.

1880 US Census
1880 United States Census
The 1880 United States census was the tenth census in the United States and is the fourth census to include and name all persons living in each household. The official enumeration day was June 1, 1880. An important step was made in this census in that it was the first to include each person's relationship to the head of the family. It also included names of every person living with the family, and any illnesses or disabilities at the time of the census.
Thirty-eight states, including recently-admitted Colorado, were enumerated. Also included were the territories of Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and the then-unorganized Alaska. The great western migration had begun! It is interesting that the "Indian Territory" (now Oklahoma) was enumerated for Indians only.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The Mormons) in conjunction with Ancestry.com has provided the index used in these transcriptions. It should be noted that the index created by the Mormans was a big improvement over those of previous censuses. Images used in these transcriptions were originally copied from National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, number T9 (1454 rolls).
Items included on the 1880 census form included the following: name, age as of the last birthday, sex, color, birthplace and birthplaces of parents, marital status, occupations of those over 15, real estate value, value of personal estate, and whether the father and mother were foreign born. Dwellings and families were numbered in the order of visitation and included the names of every person living with the family.
Because over 99 percent of the subsequent 1890 census records were destroyed in a Commerce Department fire in 1921, this is the last federal census available until 1900.
The 1880 census included a total of 6354 Titus and related family names.
The images for the following families in the index could not be found:
Alabama, Family number 2.
California, Family number 27.
Illinois, Family number 2.
Michigan, Family numbers 10, 21 and 33.
Minnesota, Family number 16.
New Jersey, Family number 134.
New York, Family numbers 17, 193, 201, 164 and 265.
Pennsylvania, Family number 56.

Opinion: Professor's Rant Against 'Old White Guys'
Assistant books editor Sohrab Ahmari on a USC professor's diatribe against Republicans and suggestion that students suppress the conservative vote. Photos: Getty Images

... I ... welcome back to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... a University of Southern California professor recently launched ... in un usual diatribe against Republicans ... the system editorial page editor James Freeman talk to our colleagues saw the Maree about this attack ... here's a professor and then there's discussion ... the new overwhelmingly to thirty percent illusttration disease is or was it ... Henry's ... own convert no one is is that all the time on record in print and on radio on TV ... it's the last ... vestige of ... real life ... the ... it ... helps to raise ... often women who work for you ... the single ... divorced ... um ... it's the parents with kids she looks like she's ... well ... a video of it to him by the conservative group campus reform Dodd or go ... University of Southern California professor Gary story go um sore bum Ari our ... system but centers are taught about to ... start ... the MBC Saudi Arabia's on college campuses and need you feel like nothing can shock you after you've watched this but this is just amazing that the viciousness the ... the scapegoat in rally races the attack on the whole group of people ... and you have basically a California Democratic Party ... a machine operator ... who happens to be an adjunct ... assistant professor at USC pieces of on site that class ... and the is just ... pure demagoguery and ten favorite segment which that wasn't there ... is you know the saying are you gonna vote for the good guy or the bad guy in some California Assembly race a local race ... won the tickets as ... you know what will for the good guys has ... got a vote for the Democrat I mean it's just so bleak and then to be clear this is not the meeting of the ... Democratic party on campus this is a ... of course that I assume people are putting universe in Southern California is giving people credit for but but but this is this is the image in the course of a political science course on ... on on on polling and and and and political practice essentially ... but it's it's ... hot ... from the perspective of a democratic operator which it was extremely ... accrued ... and and and and vicious and demagogues a version of a democratic operator not even a ... and I located the full yet not not at all thoughtful and yet I think of issues says there is the right term and the uninformed is well loved ... of but to ... hike its situation there now often it's very hard even with this kind of egregious behavior for universities to get rid of people who were not contributing at all to the academic mission and in his case obviously to ... um diminishing their ... efforts to ALM ... it is they say ... is this likely a guy who's of walk in there and whatever launch think they're going to have to accept that he's giving keep teaching this stuff ... well he's he's not ten years and as far as the if you go to the USC website it says he's an assistant ... an adjunct assistant professor ... this is not a of of state schools and private college so that you would think if the trustees are cared enough they could ever in the sky ... that because although the heat it's worth pausing in and thinking about this from from a bigger picture perspective of ... how conservatives should should react to things like this ... I tend to believe that it's a it's a bad idea to try to regulate the content ... of classroom teaching ... a day in general ... because the people who run campuses in general are from the left and I've spoken with a lot of campus free speech activists who know this stuff is is is this squalid an awful but that still say ... you know if you start ... using mechanisms like the academic bill of rights that that that some folks on the right promoted ... what'll happen is ... built on and on you in other words ... chances are that once those mechanisms are in place ... the person that they're going to go after is the lone libertarian in the philosophy department ... you know who who ... okay I mean I would hope that the ... trustees could exercise the ... the supervision they are suppose to that I think that legally charge to it now ... I think we've got of ... the resume for Mr. US radio ... basically just underlining what you said this is a ... this is a career political activist who is now on ... I mean I think if he was sharing his knowledge as a practitioner ... I think they can be very valuable Church of political science to what we're seeing in these videos is just ... a really a hatred directed against his political opponents I don't think there is anything at least in the clips we saw that you could remotely call educational ... it's been dubbed the people around the University ... to do say and ... what ... what ... education will be offered at their school or at least have demanded that ... but but courses do have some educational content ... that's right I think ... that that that weird you can push back against the stuff is my ... parents and alumni were concerned ... and the CPC something as egregious is that followed the Campus indoctrination ... happens in a much more subtle way ... this guy did admit the benefit of this is that he's so open and and and crowed about it ... the right grabs headlines this with that ... there's much more subtle ... indoctrination that goes on ... in the sense that ... kids come into social studies and humanities courses ... and all the answers are already ... embedded in the course in other words in question about what's good what's just what's beautiful any of the side of things the things you go to college ... to be able to come up with your own answer and think of the group ... in most of these courses dances argue that they say ... the West the US has gotten the answers to these questions wrong ... and the only question really is ... how do we ... really change are radically ... and that's the more insidious said of a a a pernicious form of of indoctrination that goes on ... and with parents and alumni can do ... is ... bring pressure ... it but I think it did the mistake would be to try to do ... you know you come up with a ... coat or a regulatory mechanism ... because I fear that they would actually be used with the people of the end of the day we used against against us ... well what's what's overtly says his son spurts of some better reform movement among the parents and I along said Bill USCF list of thanks or ... has found ...

antiX M-7, The Fat-free Simply Mepis: Simply Mepis is a Linux newbie's dream. It is known for its ease-of-use and its exceptional hardware detection. A new lightweight flavor of Mepis, which is intended for older hardware was released recently. It is called AntiX with a code name "Lysistrata", and so I quickly jumped into trying it out.
Xubuntu RC is already installed on our old laptop, but I was tempted to also install AntiX on it. So I got the ISO image of AntiX live CD from here, and then burned it on the CD after. I also made sure to copy some of the important files from my laptop using a couple of online backup services and other Linux data backup tools.
Test Machine Specs:
Prestigio 109 laptop
Processor: 1GHz VIA Nehemia
Memory: 256MB RAM
Hard Drive: 20GB
The installation can be accomplished with just several steps to take. But, newbies may find it difficult where to begin with as there's no installer icon present on the desktop. That is why I'm here to help:
The installation on my system was fast and flawless. The hardware were well-detected, and everything worked as normal from audio, video, DVD-drive, Ethernet, and USB.
To begin the installation, just right click to display the main menu, and then click ADMIN TOOLS → MEPIS ADMIN → INSTALL. A terminal will appear then just type "root" for the password. After this, the installation menu will appear and believe me it will be an uncomplicated process from here.
The installation on my system was fast and flawless. The hardware were well-detected, and everything worked as normal from audio, video, DVD-drive, Ethernet, and USB.
Look and Feel:
I find AntiX slow to boot compared to Xubuntu running on our not-so-old laptop. It is also less responsive considering that it has a lighter Fluxbox desktop. At login, there is an option to use ICEWM but I preferred to use the default FWM for this test. The desktop look is not as polished as that of XFce, but I still like it because of its geeky appeal. Linux beginners will find the FWM unfriendly the first time that they will use it, while the novice will love it for its simplicity.
Package Management:
The very reliable Synaptic will smoothly take care of installing, removing, and updating software applications for AntiX. Also, there are plenty of pre-installed applications on AntiX like Xchat, IceWeasel, gMplayer, Brasero, Flash, and plenty more. As I've said, Synaptic is your friend if you want to download and install additional packages.
There's no question about the stability of a Debian based system. Though I can't really make a concrete judgement regarding AntiX's steadiness based only from the short period that I have used it, I can declare that it is secure enough for regular computer tasks. I've encountered few bugs while using a number of applications, but it is only minor and did not really affect its overall performance.
I would say that AntiX is highly recommended for those who have older machines because of its dependable hardware detection and its light footprint. While it did not perform as well as Xubuntu on my older laptop, I still consider AntiX as a very promising distro that could easily beat any lightweight distribution in the near future.

The Royal Rangers program is an activity-based, small group church ministry for boys and young men in grades K-12. Our mission is to evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men and lifelong servant leaders. We provide Christlike character formation and servant leadership development for boys and young men in a highly relational and fun environment.
The Royal Rangers program is a cross-generational ministry that interconnects well with children, youth and adult ministries and fits easily into the fabric of pastoral vision and into the flow of church ministries. We affirm the male hands-on, interactive learning style by featuring an intentional discipleship journey for boys and young men based on their unique design, needs and interests. Every meeting, outing or service activity is designed to encourage boys and young men in their walk with God.
We provide men with the tools to model Christlike manhood as they mentor boys on a Bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered journey to maturity in the faith. Boys learn to study and apply what the Bible says about integrity, doctrine, biblical worldview, cultural issues and manhood. In addition, the Royal Rangers ministry molds boys into servant leaders, teaching them vital social, equipping, attitude, leadership and service skills.
The Royal Rangers program at a local church is referred to as an "outpost" and may consist of one or more groups. Each group follows a program of activities based on the interests and abilities of boys in that group. The links below provide details on the advancement system used in each group:
Ranger Kids

Discovery Rangers
Grades 3 – 5
Adventure Rangers
Grades 6 – 8

Irish scientists are looking back hundreds of thousands of years to Ireland's last ice age in order to better understand the climate changes happening within the country today. Their research has also helped determine why Ireland's topography is the way it is, according to the Irish Times.
Research is focusing on analyzing the continental seabeds not only off the coast of Ireland, but as far away as Antarctica in order to piece together the creation of Ireland's varied topography, and provide clues into climate shifts.
Dr. Paul Dunlop, head of the Quaternary Environmental Change Research Group at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, and his team have been studying the period of the past 120,000 years, the timeframe of when the last ice age came and went.
In particular, that period featured a kilometer-deep ice sheet that blanketing Ireland during that when analyzed, can unlock some of the secrets to the climate changes - including temperatures and timing of the shifts.
"The Quaternary [the period the team is studying] is characterised by climate change, and this caused changes in the ice sheets," says Dunlop.
Not surprisingly, Dr. Dunlop and his team were faced with no easy feat. "The problem with the ice sheets is they are so destructive they destroy all the evidence of past glaciations. It is very difficult to get information on previous ice sheets. The deeper you go back in geological time the more vague it becomes."
Dr. Dunlop was working out of NUI Galway when an ambitious project to map the seabed was underway. The program set out to map all of Ireland's extensive continental shelf out to the edge of the deep Atlantic waters and beyond.
Dr. Dunlop said that "The big unknown question was: how far out did the ice sheet extend?" Through their research, the team was able to determine that the sheet extended for many kilometers, and in some cases, out to the edge of the continental shelf.
"The most striking features we see are the ridges, 10 km long. We have definitely mapped the western extent of the ice sheet." One of the biggest ridges found was 14m high, 125km long and 11km wide.
"There are also features gouged into the seabed, icebergs ploughing up the sea floor."
One trend the scientists noticed was that the ridges are seen closer and closer to the coastline, retreating as the climate warmed and the ice began to melt.
"This gives us a nice high-resolution data set on climate change. It shows you what the footprint was as it retreated and how rapidly it retreated," Dr. Dunlop said.
By conducting radiocarbon dating on the species that would have occupied the cold-water that was advanced when the ice retreated, Dr. Dunlop was able to provide a date for the furthest extent of the ice, placing it between 29,000 and 27,000 years ago.
Similarly, cosmogenic radionuclide dating can also be used to track the land-based retreat of the ice.
Dr Robert Meehan, a consultant geologist and expert on the impact of the ice on Ireland's topography, says the research that has been gathered is invaluable to understand the climate change that triggers ice ages.
Ireland was literally formed by glaciers as successive ice ages sent wave after wave of glaciers that scored and scoured the surface, leaving behind drumlins and the Burren, not to mention trillions of tons of gravelly waste.
With the current "interglacial" or warm period already having lasted around 10,000 years, the next ice age could be 'just around the corner,' to which Dr. Meehan said "This is where the arguments about climate change become interesting."
Some people argue that the climate change the Earth is experiencing today is part of its natural cycle, while others argue that it is a result of human activity.
Dr. Meehan, who has been studying Ice ages for twenty five ages, has compiled comprehensive maps of glacial sediment left behind in Ireland. Currently, he's working the first digital glacial sediment and landform maps for the Geological Survey of Ireland.
During the peak of the last ice age, approximately 29,000 years ago, Ireland would have appeared multiple its size as it was laying under up to a kilometer of ice.
Meehan's studies have shown that only 107sq km of Ireland's 85,000sq km land mass remained above the ice sheet that blanketed the country. The island and all points north "were completely smothered", he says.
The eventual movement of the ice sheet helped shape and carve Ireland's present landscape.
"Once the depth of ice reaches 50m it starts to flow. All of the ice was flowing, it was scouring the landscape." Dr. Meehan added that the results of the ice flow are visible today in places such as Glendalough in Co Wicklow.
Similarly, peat bogs are where glacial lakes were such a long time ago.
Some wonder why more of Ireland isn't like the Burren, raw rock that is the result of the scouring movement of the ice. Dr. Meehan explained that only 10 per cent of Ireland is rock outcrop, while "the rest is buried by deep glacial sediments."
And buried it is, indeed. The present day Curragh in Co Kildare sits atop 110m of sediment, gravel and sand before reaching bedrock. Some of the deepest sedimentary deposits up to 125m thick overlay Offaly, Laois and south Kildare, he says. "There are trillions of tons of sediment."

Time To Face Facts: Broadband Caps Are Really About Protecting Video Revenue
from the not-about-bandwidth-hogs dept
For the most part, broadband caps are really about protecting video revenue. Many broadband providers these days also provide television, and that business is a total racket these days, with TV companies rolling in cash. Internet TV breaks up the artificial monopolies and the monopoly rents they can extract, so the last thing the broadband (and TV) providers want to do is make it easier for consumers to route around their television programming and access it directly on the internet.
As if to highlight that very point, Canadian telco giant Rogers decreased its already very, very low broadband caps just as Netflix announced that its streaming service was coming to Canada. The timing may be slightly coincidental, but it certainly highlights the point. Rogers doesn't want you streaming videos on Netflix if it means you might not watch Rogers' own TV programming.

Hood River News Editorial
August 6, 2005
A dog day in summer can take a 95-degree turn for the worse.
People took pity on two dogs inside a hot vehicle Thursday on Oak Street.
A cup of water and a prompt police response helped prevent real harm to the two pooches in the back of a pickup parked on Oak in temperatures in the mid-90s.
Tongues wagging, the dogs gulped at fresh air once the side window was opened. Phyllis Bowers of Hood River Stationers brought the cool water and Lieut. Kevin Lynch brought the book. The dog owner, a Hood River man, will be referred to Hood River County Animal Control for possible citation.
"People just don't realize it only takes a few minutes on a hot day," said Lynch, who estimated the temperature was 110 degrees inside the back of the pickup.
Earlier in the week, police rescued a pit bull from the back seat of an enclosed car. The dog was so overheated it was vomiting, Lynch said.
A new film is getting middling reviews but its title is a good thing to remember: Must Love Dogs.
Dogs — and children — in cars are at our mercy. Thursday's incident on Oak serves as a reminder that in this hot weather, no one should be left alone, not even for a minute. One minute turns to five and five turns to 15, and a hot day can turn into a horrible day.

With the transition of the computers based on traditional operation modules to Web-based systems, it is possible for nearly any business function within an A/E/C firm to be performed online from virtually any computer with an Internet connection. Many firms today are taking advantage of the flexibility of the Internet to consolidate their management processes — including accounting, project management, human resources, resource planning, and cost estimating — using both intranet and extranet systems. An intranet handles the internal operations, while an extranet handles processes with outside partners. Some firms are building these systems internally from scratch, while others are partnering with outside vendors. The difficult part is integrating the dozens of new and existing programs within a firm to create a single window to all data.
Bellevue, Wash.-based architect MulvannyG2 decided after searching for almost a year that it could not find as holistic an application as it envisioned for its intranet/extranet system. The firm found a variety of products that had valuable features, but integrating them was problematic. It wanted to integrate all its departments' software into a central database. In the end, creating the system in-house was cheaper, says Celeste Lenon, vice president of information systems for MulvannyG2.
"Our main goal is centralized and easily accessible information," says Lenon. "The 'centralized' theme of all our development is a critical component. We ask ourselves: 'Will this eliminate a redundancy? Will it assist staff with their tasks? Whose job will be made easier with this implementation?' By centralizing the information we find increases in efficiency across the board."
Data that was previously entered into six separate databases — two in human resources, three in the project management arena and one in marketing — is now entered just once in the main database, which is based on structured query language (SQL) technology.
MulvannyG2's intranet/extranet consists of four modules: MNet, Project Center, Studio Center and Directory. MNet is a typical corporate intranet, providing forms, templates, staff information, reports and news on non-project-focused functions.
Project Center is where project information is stored and managed, including schedules, budgets, project team data and major account programs. A Client Project Center module allows clients to view project information, gather reports and communicate with team members.
Studio Center provides internal team information, such as which designers are assigned to particular projects, standards for accounts, and even general announcements of victories, lessons learned and team events. Also located within the Studio Center are schedules from all active projects and a list of which designers are working on construction drawings. This master list allows the firm to better manage the efficiency and quality of the drawings.
Finally, the Directory is a centralized "address book" that feeds all parts of the application. If the contact information changes for a business or individual, that change is reflected throughout the entire intranet/extranet system.
MulvannyG2's current push is to integrate project budgets into the system. It is also implementing a new accounting system based on programs from BST Software, and is evaluating project cost-estimating software from Timberline. For human resource (HR) functions, an Oracle-based system from ADP was specified. The firm is working closely with ADP to integrate the HR program with the existing databases.
Developing a system from scratch does have its disadvantages, according to Lenon. There are aspects MulvannyG2 underestimated, such as support, training and incorporating changes. Moreover, the firm underestimated the amount of time that would be spent releasing updates into the company culture. However, at the same time, the intranet/extranet system resolved many more issues by creating a method to centralize, organize and publish project and company information.
Turner Talk takes hold
New York City-based contractor Turner Construction Co. partnered with Meridian Project Systems to develop its construction management intranet/-extranet. Dubbed TurnerTalk, the system is a Web-hosted version of Meridian's Prolog Manager and Prolog Web site software. Turner has already deployed 1,300 licenses on projects around the world, and plans to have more than 4,000 employees online by mid-2004.
The goals of the TurnerTalk initiative are geared primarily around the centralization of project data and the flexibility of deployment and access of the data. All projects and departments can collaborate both internally within Turner, as well as with external clients.
In the past, online collaboration was hindered by the set-up costs of installing software programs on computers in remote locations. Therefore, the company could justify using online project management for only the largest projects. With TurnerTalk, every project is online. Anyone can log into the intranet/extranet system and access data for any Turner project. This access ranges from the purchasing department adding contracts to the project database to a subcontractor checking the latest answers to questions they initiated online.
The company structured the intranet/extranet system to provide free accounts for clients and outside partners, such as owners, architects and subcontractors. This eliminates the number one argument in the past for not participating in the online collaboration process: cost. In addition, Turner provides free online training for all users.
According to Mickey Doner, Turner's director of project management information systems, "We have short-term plans for possible integration with our accounting system, as well as longer range plans to review potential integration with marketing and HR systems for things like staff experience tracking, staff availability and other sales information."
These undertakings by MulvannyG2 and Turner require hard work and commitment from their respective firms, especially from top management.
Most firms spearheading intranet and extranet systems are using industry standard technology, such as XML- and SQL-based databases, in order for the various programs to talk to each other. Microsoft has been pushing its .NET initiative to deliver Web-based services. IBM and Sun are also getting into the act with their own standards. Vendors like Meridian, BST and others have actually rebuilt many of their products to integrate with .NET.
Also, later this year Microsoft will release its own customer relationship management (CRM) software based on the Great Plains line of products. Whether these programs have an impact on the A/E/C industry, only time will tell.

Rural Areas Facing Water Shortage
ST. PAUL (AP) - Rural Minnesota residents and state regulators are facing challenges in keeping up with demand for water. They're dealing with a prolonged drought, a thirst for job-creating growth and the prospect that current water practices in some areas are unsustainable.
The situation is especially stark the farther south and west one travels in the state.
And it could preview changes for the Twin Cities metro area, from water rationing to taxpayer-funded efforts to secure additional water.
While the drought isn't the only reason Minnesota's water woes are spreading, experts agree it's shining a spotlight on them.
Groundwater now accounts for 75 percent of Minnesotans' drinking water, and its use is increasing.

BlueStarEnergy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 288 designs submitted by 89 freelance designers.
BlueStar Energy Services
BlueStar Energy. Your Power. Your Choice.
BlueStar Energy Services, Inc. is a retail electricity supplier currently operating in Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. BlueStar is the fastest-growing energy supplier in the United States.
A cornerstone of the American ideology is the ability to choose. Even for basic utilities, Americans are able to choose between their phone and cable providers. However, for decades residents have had no say about their electric companies. Largely controlled by one company, the vast majority of residents were left with no choice but to use traditional forms of "brown" energy, which is generated from burning non-renewable resources like fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Alternative sources of renewable energy, or "green" energy, were not even a possibility for these residents. That is, until now.
BlueStar Energy provides residents with the option to use "green" or "brown" energy to power their homes. Using BlueStar Energy's "green" electricity, residents will now have the opportunity to choose an electric company that shares their interest in protecting our environment. BlueStar Energy's green electricity is sold for the same price as your traditional "brown" energy, which means that it is not only available to all residents, but also an accessible option for everyone.
BlueStar Energy. Your Power. Your Choice.

A true concern about the very future of Puppylinux
Subject description: It's imperative
When I posted my concern about the disappearing PC, no body listened.
Even laughed. They all believed that their PC would last forever.
It's the in the path of computer's evolution.
From the hugh white elephant desktop to portable noteboot to lighter, smaller netbooks and now tablet PC.
Right now apps are all contents consuming but when people realize they need only one computing device, they will dump PC without thinking twice.
Then the develpers have to survive. Photoshop will not die, it will be back in either a form of web app or iphone app.
Then no one needs PC.
If puppylinux, which is mostly being developed for x86 PC, are slow to adapt the changing current, it will extict.
HP finally dropped its PC department. And I knopw for a fact that my 3 year old PC is worth not even $0 because no one wants it.
PCs will die sooner than you think.
It's time to make ARM or other mobile CPU oriented puppy just to survive.
Software Puppy cannot live without supporting hardware.
I have seen some effort to diversify but not enough and we don't have much time.
When surviving PC is hard to come by, users will fade away and so will be this forum
I don't wanna see Puppylinux as a past memory thing.

HP dropped it because it was not profitable enough.....others will buy it and produce PC's.
PC's are like film cameras.....you can find a film camera, very limited functions, for a buck.
Since your PC is not worth anything, I'll take it and gift it to a senior citizen on fixed income(I exercise first right of refusal based on shipping costs).

I think there are applications which will always prefer to be run on local PCs with fast system buses, powerful processors and lots of RAM. Photoshopping large high-res pictures, for instance, will probably remain much faster on such a PC than it would be in the "cloud," at least until everyone has optical fiber to their house. It may be that Photoshop will have to sell such PCs on the side for people who need them.

puppyiso I think you are right but the others can be right too.
Short version
Now as long as no current Dev of Puppy are into ARM Dev that do means what you fear.
If ARM based computers will be totally dominant in the future then Puppy only exists
as long as there are computer hardware that survive the 5 to 10 years of the battery that back up the CMOS clock RAM
or the HDD last longer than the 2 to 5 years them last now. Then Puppy will only exists for 5 years more ?
Longer version
What I trust you get very right that for the masses there will be mass produced cheap things that puppy will not run on.
But the others are right that for special purposes there are niches that could retain a small amount of PCs that need that power to give the quality needed.
CAD most likely need fast computers and PC do provide that power for them.
Gamers that love photo realistic fast games that has fast responses and so on.
Music makers that need high quality needs it.
Edit I forgot to tell you that these machines will be so expensive that only the Computer enthusiast will pay for them. That is almost as it is now. A true PC for Gaming is some 5 times more expensive than the cheapest machine I bought. HP SR5622 cost me some 2000SEK while a true Gamers machine would cost me at least four to five times more.
Them even having Water cooling and two power supplies and so on.
But the average person go with the flow and ARM does seems to have the cost benefit to be what last for a while unless intel manage to make something cheap and power consumption and price conscious to compete with ARM.
Not easy to know but it sure looks you are right.
Now as long as no current Dev of Puppy are into ARM Dev that do means what you fear. If ARM will be totally dominant in the future then Puppy only exists as long as there are computer hardware that survive the 5 to 10 years of the battery that back up the CMOS clock RAM
Then people rather buy something new then to change the battery.
Or when the HDD give up after two or three years of daily use then them buy a new one. I've already bought two new computers due to HDD failure.
As I remember Flash here had a HDD failure and decided to skep HDD altogether and just use DVD instead.
I read that now them have made DVD that last some 1000 years for back up purpose. DVD made out of "Stone"
Considering that statistically due to me rather old I live maybe at most ten more years I have to accept that everything will be ARM for a while.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

For another opinion, here is the summary of a recent article in the Toronto Star.
In Japan, iPad isn't worth the weight
Tokyo workers shun Apple tablet, sticking with lightweight laptops
"After the iPad, I carried the iPad, a charger for the iPad, the laptop, the charger for the laptop and the brochures."
"Japanese businessmen already tend to carry around light laptops because they're on the train so often," said Masahiro Katayama, a PC group manager at IDC. "IPads are not suited for inputting and processing data, so people end up having both their laptops and iPads."
"In the U.S., it's clear what the iPad offers with its size and weight, but in Japan, iPads fail to distinguish themselves as a business tool from lightweight laptops," said Ichiro Michikoshi, an analyst at research firm BCN Inc. in Tokyo.

Hi John,
no I did not laugh.
Because my PCs have already been disappearing.
But behind my large widescreen monitor there is a little box that is containing more power than any PC I ever had.
No floppy
no CD
no DVD
just USB sticks for a long time
(and now a SSD)
And there are things in life that are more important than PCs
It is just a hobby
Best regards

This article was written today.
I don't see the PC going anywhere soon. Laptops didn't kill desktops, and they do the exact same thing. While tablets and smart phones may be better in some ways, most people would find a PC more useful if they had to choose.
I can see PCs dieing in 10 - 20 years, but not now.

It's all an issue of supply and demand. When used ARM based tablets start outnumbering old PCs _and_ are cheaper at the local thrift shop, a new litter of pups will emerge. Until then it is just FUD.
BTW whatever happened to the infotab (the tablet version of the gecko edubook)... I had planned to get one of those and puppify it... I even toyed with docking xvkbd in an auto-hide jwm tray... but it never materialized and that was 2+ years ago.

i was very tempted recently by one of those little form factor PC's L18L is referring to - just a shame my TV with HDMI socket burnt out not so long back so i have nothing to attach one to.
Personally i don't see these cheap tablets replacing dekstops / laptops any time soon - if you want to edit photos / videos you wont be doing it on a low powered 7 inch touch screen.

Post subject: Addressing Your Concerns
Subject description: Addressing concerns about the future of Puppy Linux vs. portable computing.
This is the first time I've posted here, but I have been using Puppy in and out since the version 2 days. (BTW guys, great job on 5.2.8, works great)
I'm not sure the "suggestions" forum is the correct place for this post. If not, apologies.
Even though the latest Puppy version is more supportive of newer hardware, the Puppy philosophy of supporting older computing equipment still underpins much of its flavor. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I don't believe that Puppy's target audience (so to speak) is aimed at the newer portable devices out there. Then, I'm only putting forth my opinion.
Having said that....
As for the dire predictions of death for the desktop PC, sure, there are some people who just use their computers for email, solitaire, and finding the name of that actor on Wikipedia. They might be quick to save the table space and ditch their computer for a smart phone or tablet. Keep in mind that these same people are unlikely to adopt Linux or even a current version of Windows. They are using whatever their computer came with. While they could ditch their PC, they are just as likely to use their televisions to do the same things. Yes, there are televisions that are coming on the market that contain a PC internally and can browse the web. They wouldn't necessarily purchase an ARM powered device.
As for the rest of us who do work at home, a tablet or television won't cut it. At the same time, the PC has improved little over the last few years. Sure, they have added multiple processors, more memory, larger storage, and heavier graphics cards, but PC technology has pretty much topped out. At the same time, the output media a PC can produce hasn't grown all that much either (not for a home user at least). I'm not willing to plunk down money for little gains and to support newer resource hungry operating systems. I'm not willing to use (Windows). Also, a tablet is not a full fledged laptop either. If I cannot wire a projector, USB stick, and remote clicker into it, I cannot use it on a work basis. What I am trying to say is that their are a lot of PC users out there unwilling to toss their PCs, or even by new PCs, in favor of portable devices.
Will PC computers decline? Sure, in exactly the same way that home stereo systems have declined since MP3 players have come out.

I just now wrote a long "essay" on my opinion but it's gone.
The points were;
1> People need only one computing device and iPhone and iPad are hard to put off. PC is less used or totally ignored and would get rid of.
2> People use computing devices for entertainment or news nowadays.
Photoshop, office, 3ds max would appear as app when the majority become the followers of the Lord Steve Jobs and his pirates.
3> HP sold off PC dept based on the possibility of dark future not on profitabilty. Who takes over doesn't matter. Business has no heart jut money.
And people expect alot from computers. New videoes are HD needing high power not old low powered computers.
4> Everyone is using HDMI so 10 inch limit is not a problem and it's getting more HD and more powerful than PCs.
These are the reasons why I think so.
I don't want to see puppy on life support with slow dull left over under powered PC. Today's PC are like cassette tapes, beepers, answering machines of the past. You gotta let go of old junks. They are not collectables or valuable antiques. Just useless space taking power eating soon to be self destructing by gone era stuff.
All I am saying is that we have to consider the possibility of future direction in computer business and keep up with the wave.
Carring and using iPad cannot be compared with that of notebooks. You need to sitdown. IT IS NOT TRUELY PORTABLE.

Simpy put, I think we need ARM based puppylinux which we can install on originally Android devices.
That little device will take over wht PC would do for us.
When enemy shoots with automatic firearms, would you keep using beloved good old 1800s single action Colt?
It's like yellow skinned American natives fighting with bows and arrows against white skinned illegal immigrants from Europe armed with guns.
US history showed that GUNS are better than Arrows and bows.
Long live NRA and keep all US citizens armed to teeth!!

It can be done.
There is no single cheap mass market ARM device
or set of standards. Not yet.
There are options.
I am not sure I want an x86 tablet . . .
If I use a tablet or smartphone for any length
of time I start touching the screen to by pass the mouse
. . . it does not work - (no touch screen being used)

puppyiso I trust that you are right but I am not sure of if making a Puppy for ARM really help us much.
The hardware firms are dependent on the software firms to get enough volume and puppy are not into such mass market as Android and Apple are at.
Don't both HTC and Samsung have a complicated relation to the "root" cottage industry that have customized ROM to sell? Them locking the hardware so only them can go root. Locking out everybody else then the firm that the hardware company have contract with.
So we may have in future a Puppy for ARM but no hardware to run it on because we get blocked from rooting and booting.
So the only way to go with the flow would be for us to pay a hardware firm to make a version that had puppy on it.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

New blog to focus on online public access to records of the U.S. National Archives
Washington, DC . . . On Wednesday, August 12, the National Archives launched the NARAtions blog to begin a discussion with researchers on the future of online public access at the National Archives. The public is invited and encouraged to share opinions on ways to enhance the online researcher experience and to increase access to archival materials.
This online community will continue to be a work in progress as we develop new features and content. Questions will be posted to invite discussion, and the blog welcomes feedback and suggestions for new questions to raise. The blog will also inform researchers about newly available online records descriptions and digitized archival materials.
We would like to hear from you! What sort of things would you find valuable from NARAtions?
* Should we allow the public to tag descriptions in our online catalog? Why or why not?
* What groups of photographs should we post on Flickr next, and why?
* Do you have a favorite NARA photograph or document? Is it already available in our catalog or on our website?
The URL is http://blogs.archives.gov/online-public-access/. Please visit often and share this web address with others.

It's already time for the One Good Chair Competition again, and this year we couldn't be more excited about the theme – local and regional furniture. The annual competition, sponsored by The Sustainable Furnishings Council and World Market Center Las Vegas, will award fabulous cash prizes and publishing opportunities to the best and brightest designs that embody and enhance a particular place. So pick a place, any place, and design a chair that exemplifies it. Final registration for the competition closes this weekend on June 15th, so register today!
Winners of the competition will receive a cash prize, have their winning design published in a number of media outlets, and have an opportunity to get the chair built. Your mission, should you choose to enter, is to design a chair that 'Makes Good, Feels Good, Looks Good' and is geared towards relaxation, casual seating or lounging. Also your chair should be made for a specific place, and constructed from local or regional materials. Design submissions are already being accepted until June 30th, and late registration ends this weekend on June 15th for a fee of $75.
Last year we featured the winners of the design competition, which asked designers to create a chair that 'Does Good, Feels Good, Looks Good'. We were so impressed by the way all of the designs made efficient use of greener materials, while being both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic. We are looking forward to the new design entries and their creative interpretation of seating for a specific region.

Skully Scape by Quadrastorm
Hello there. Welcome back to the exciting world of Killswitch reviewing games. Yay!
(Sorry about the use of bland marketing prop but you know...today's world, too many sensitive people...ok I just really wanted to say that so I used a lame pic)
Back to the subject at hand. Skully Scape by Quadrastorm. (You might know the guy who made it, he goes by meganuke or so I've been told.) Can you believe the nerve of this skeleton? This skeleton is from some fancy dungeon game and is tired of dying over and over. What a pair of balls on this skeleton. So now Skully has a new plan.
The objective of the game is to...
Seems simple enough right? Well Skully Scape comes with 24 mind racking levels. Now you may be able to get by some of the stages without 100%ing but where's the fun in that. This game will test your reflexes and your brain. (Unless you're Skully and no longer have one). So give it a try if you like puzzle platforming games.
Wasn't sure how to rate the game. These days people have no appetite for challenge and want to be babied.
The things I didn't like were few and meaningless really. The game has a generic look when it comes to fonts used and the props/enemies. While it's not a game that needs to look fancy it does kind of give it a generic feel. The other thing that was weird to me was lack of music or if it's there it's very very very low (or it's my TV). The game could use some ominous, foreboding music. Like Legend of Zelda dungeons with a darker sound? There was something else I can't think of right now but they're small and don't take away from the core of the game itself.

Mary Robinson: Everybody matters ...but the people of Erris

- Campaigners highlight Robinson's silence on human rights in County Mayo -
Last night Enda Kenny met with Mary Robinson for an evening soiree in Ballina Arts Centre to launch her new book. The title of her memoir, Everybody Matters was a ironic reminder of the silence maintained by Robinson on the human rights abuses associated with Shells Corrib Gas project. Since 2002 Shell have been operating less than 35 miles away from her home in Ballina and over that time human rights concerns have been documented by international human rights organisations including Frontline Defenders (Breakdown of Trust: a Report on the Corrib Gas Dispute http://ww.frontlinedefenders.org/files/en/corrib_gas_re...t.pdf).
Campaigners from Shell to Sea and Rossport Solidarity Camp travelled to the launch to highlight Robinsons continuing silence on human rights issues in her home county, but were refused entry to the Arts centre for the event by Gardaí. Ten campaigners held a picket outside the event holding placards which read, What about human rights on your doorstep?, Mary Robinson human rights N.I.M.B.Y, Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, Mary what about human rights in Mayo?, and And you used to be so good!!

"It's just another example of 'government wrongdoing' by ALL (or almost all) of the hundreds of members of the Republic of Ireland Governments (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) of recent decades -- TDs (which is how the elected representatives of the Republic of Ireland's Central Government are referred to), Senators, Judges, Presidents, and others closely involved (such as the crucially important "non-judicial" members of our legal profession for example) -- who have unlawfully, and indeed treasonously, helped to create, enforce, and sustain UNCONSTITUTIONAL legislation (invalid and bogus law that is) in the Republic of Ireland, during the period in question."

In connection with the "Everybody Matters" concept (and new book by Mary Robinson), the excerpt in the section below formed part of an e-mail sent this morning to some senior United Nations officials.

The faraway causes and campaigners are fancied, because the fancier doesn't sacrifice much personally except time. Supporting home causes can entail having to deal intellectually with perceived conflicting interests. Economic interests (dangers of piping gas from the sea vs. benefits to individual households of using natural gas for cooking and heating); image interests (basking in the reflected glory of being a friend of Aung Suu Ki or an imprisoned Palestinian nonviolence campaigner vs. getting involved in a Shell to Sea campaign that has also attracted RSF and other dissident republicans) and sexual civil liberties issues vs. other issues that have a diminished middle class appeal.

"Vladimir Bedukadze alleges that top Georgian officials, including President Saakashvili, were aware of the abuses at the Gdlani prison, which triggered a major political scandal in the country. He claims that inmates in Georgia face inhumane treatment for political reasons or simply for the amusement of those in charge of jails."

I dont like to boast, but i have been questioning the canonisation of St. Mary Robinson dating back to her time as Irelands president. As a member of Relatives For Justice, an organisation formed in 1991 by relatives of people murdered by the British state, i came to realise that Robinson wasnt too keen on defending the human rights everyone and most especially the minority in the 6 Counties. On a visit to Derry she refused to lay a wreath at the monument dedicated to the 14 civil rights marchers murdered by British paratroopers on Bloody Sunday in January 1972. In contrast, on the same trip she had no difficulty laying a wreath at the memorial where 11 innocent Protestants were murdered by the IRA in Enniskillen in November 1987.

As the woman above said these things might as well be happening on another planet, ie human rights violations and the extraction of our natural resources with zero return, aided and abetted by a virtual foreign army. They may even be armed or is that a stretch ?

- but to be honest, given the results of the last election IMHO the majority of the Irish people really ARE that fukin stupid.
