Will Rogers and American Politics Will Rogers, born part Cherokee in Indian Territory (later Oklahoma), speaks a common-sense language with a gentle humor - he criticizes but in a nice way. It makes him the voice of the nation in the 1920s and 1930s. This film profiles the cowboy, comedian, author, columnist, social commentator, vaudeville performer, movie and radio star. Archival footage and interviews tell the story narrated by Bill Kurtis. "Politics," Rogers maintained, "has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated."G

Be aware that the value of this site is not only in what current discussion are taking place. Most members of this site spend time searching through old threads for information which may not have been important to them at the time, but may take on a higher importance later on. I search old threads frequently to help clarify to myself fundamental issues which I may have overlooked when the discussion was happening. Because we don't delete old threads, providing further context, as your deleted messsage did, was a welcomed addition which provided extra value.
As I stated before, resurrecting old threads is not the norm, but that doesn't mean that new information might not be beneficial to readers. I hope you reconsider your deletion.
Quite right Ocicat, I'm a newcomer and picking up on old threads. What interests me in this discussion is that many of us get quite emotional about it. I think that's because most of the people who use *NIX have a very distinct and/or founded rationale to do so. People who use Windows use it because err, that's the program you use when you use a computer, right? What else should I do? Or maybe because their employer uses Windows, like mine. People who use OSX might have a bit more reason, like working in a graphical sector or being "fashionista's". People who use Linux might do so because they like to tweak stuff. Maybe *BSD the is the hardcore scene?
Don't get me wrong, regardless of my own personal perference, I don't want to put one above the other. It's purely user dependant.
My very personal reasons for using (Open)BSD? I want to be free (in every sense of the word) in what I want to do with my computer. I want security, privacy and functionality. With Windows I don't feel I get any of them at an acceptable level. With Linux, I'm fine, with OpenBSD much more. For example, if i want to use NFS, just RTFM and you're OK. if I want to do it with Windows, just pay more to get the Enterprise edition. Err WTF???
As a matter of fact, today, I updated 2 W8 PC's to W8.1 for the ol' folks. What grabbed my attention is that it almost REQUIRES and INSISTS (yes capitals) you to sign up for a Microsoft account (and invade my privacy) only if you are very clever, persistant and jump through a few loopholes, you manage to install w8.1 without having to sign up. My personal opinion is that that is so so so fundamentally wrong. I have already paid for a licence to use your software (which is wrong in the first place), leave me alone now!! But they don't.That's what puts me off very very very much about all (yes all) the commercial products out there. I very strongly am against my privacy being the product. I have a profound grudge against companies (or governements whatever) making money on violating my privacy. And that's not or much less the case when you use GPL/BSD. Depending on which variant and how wisely you use it.
Anyway, now I'm becoming all emotional about it myself, but that's what I mean with most of us here having a very valid reason why to use UNIX *BSD. I'm not here because I don't know any better. (err do I )
But back on topic. I don't think the *BSD userbase is big, far below 1% of all desktops, and you know what? I like it! It's just used enough to get support and certainly not big enough to be of interest for writing malware for it. By the time the Linux community has to deal with viruses (if that ever happens), we're still safe for some time.
Cause Windows is still the best OS for computer games (except for old DOS games, DosBox is a good alternative).
Regularly, my wife and I play Populous on our LAN, and Windows is magic for that : a mac with Windows 7, a laptop with Windows 98, and Populous runs perfectly on both.
That's the real strength of Windows : the ability to run both recent and really old applications without any modification.
Since there is no native poker client for OpenBSD, I prefer to use OS X when I want to play in a poker room
Also, I bought a mac 5 years before trying OpenBSD.
So, my PostgreSQL server is installed on OS X, working fine, and it's quite good, I don't intend to transfer it on OpenBSD for the moment.
Edit : Oh, and technically, the mac mini is a 85W machine, and the OpenBSD Sun Blade is a 475W machine, so most of the time, I use OS X with a OBSD VM...
The secret of wisdom is not wisdom itself, it's the road that leads us there.

-LEGO® Photo, the First
Official LEGO iPhone Application, Available for Free Download-
-Original Short Film
and Blog Among First Components of Campaign to Deliver Content, Experiences,
Tools, Contests and More-
ENFIELD, Conn. (January 11,
2010) – Think of that little bolt of excitement that
hits when the solution to a problem suddenly becomes clear. That's a
CLICK moment in action. Consider times when a great idea comes out of the
shadows of the brain and needs to be shared. That's a CLICK moment, too.
Today, LEGO Systems launches a program to celebrate and foster these "CLICK
moments", jump-started by the company's announcement of its first
official iPhone application, LEGO® Photo, available for free at
the iTunes App Store.
The hub of the program,
www.LEGOCLICK.com, is a virtual canvas of ideas, inspired moments, quirky
stories, solutions and tips from serial CLICKers designed to celebrate and
inspire CLICK moments of all types.
"We hope to motivate
people to recognize, embrace, share and yes, chase, those unpredictable but
powerful light bulb moments in life when things just CLICK," said
Michael McNally, brand relations director at LEGO Systems, Inc.
"Exploring your imagination from a young age, daring to realize your
ideas, creating stories and uses for what you create, solving problems that no
one knew existed – this is the stuff of LEGO play, and is exactly what
leads to a lifetime of CLICK moments."
LEGO Photo iPhone
LEGO Photo is an application
for iPhone and works with the iPhone and saved images on an iPod touch that
lets consumers immortalize their favorite things – or their own CLICK
moments – in LEGO form. Users can simply choose a photo from an existing
gallery or point the camera to snap a photo then touch the screen to watch
their masterpiece build. Additional screen taps shows portraits in nine
different color palette options. Celebrating CLICK portraits is easy. Users can
upload to a social networking page, email it to grandparents and friends, print
it--even tweet it using #legoclick.
LEGO Photo is available for
free download from the iTunes App store; a link from the company's blog
at LEGOCLICK.com makes it easy to find the app directly. The best LEGO
portraits use photos that are shot at close range against a light, solid
colored background.
Short Film
Created especially for LEGO
Systems by the team behind groundbreaking music videos for Coldplay, The
Chemical Brothers and New Order among others, the 3:19 film reveals the story
of a fictional inventor's journey to the joy of his CLICK moment,
inspired by millions of true stories of children who have realized a big idea
using imagination, perseverance and sometimes even LEGO bricks.
A pile of LEGO bricks is
what motivated the production team to create a visual vignette –
punctuated with whimsical animation and a playful, original score – that
celebrates the sometimes simple and often sublime attainability of a CLICK
Fans of life's CLICK
moments can join the conversation on this blog that celebrates light bulb
moments, grand or understated. A conversation about what makes things CLICK,
the blog shines a light on those people whose ideas have helped to inspire
others, or those little moments when an idea is incubated or
launched. Guest contributors will share stories of how things CLICKed for
them, ideas for how to find a CLICK moment and photo and video inspiration to
tickle the inner creator in anyone.
To share personal CLICK moments, email [email protected], post a
comment to the LEGO CLICK fan page on Facebook or send a tweet #legoclick.

I downloaded the LEGO App and here's my 10 cent review:
The Good: You can take a pic or use an existing pic in your photo library on your iPhone and apply a filter on it to see the how the picture would look as a LEGO Mosiac. Once a mosaic is generated, you can save the image to your camera roll. The app is free.
The Bad: You can't do anything with the pic besides save it to your camera roll. No instructions, no higher resolution option, nothing. How awesome would it be if you can "Order This Mosiac" directly from LEGO? Anyways, once you select the image you want to alter, there is a little timer to show you the progress. And once that's done, you have to tap on a button to see the image. The app should automatically take you to the image once it's done processing. Like the press release states, you can tap on the mosaic to change the color palette from warm reds and yellows to cool blues to black and white, etc. However, there's no rhyme or reason as to where to tap for a specific palette, it seems that the app just cycles through each palette, so you can pretty much tap anywhere. There is a cool little ripple effect animation when the palette changes, but that gets old fast.
The Ugly: The pictures are just horrendous. I understand there's a limited palette of colors, but that's not really the issue. The issue is that the the 3 megapixel image is dumbed down to LEGO stud dimensions of 40x60. Take a look at a before and after pic below:
And just for kicks, I took a screen capture of the screen you'll stare at while your image is being rendered to see how a simpler image would turn out:
And no, I did not tap to apply a different color palette. White was the only color it got correct.
Final Verdict: For a free app, it's certainly not the worst, but as an AFOL, I probably won't be turning this one on again. For parents, it might be good enough to keep kids occupied for a little while, but I myself wouldn't subject my daughter's eyes to such ugliness.
I don't know why you'd want to, but you can download LEGO Photo

looking to get some feedback on this board. looks pretty nice and shaped by paolo rista. I am looking this as a first race board. i own a sector 52 and love the way it rides. i know that the race boards are going to be much more technical but i want a board that can get that foil effect through the water.
i hear this board is a little less technical to ride relative to some of the other boards out there. i am not in a place to be in a fleet of racers so having the ultimate and newest gear is not a big concern. just looking to advance my skills on this type of board.
please give some advice if you have some to give.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, October 8, 2008 (ENS) - Energy and environment issues formed a substantial part of last night's presidential debate between Democratic hopeful Senator Barack Obama and Republican Senator John McCain. The second of three debates was an informal style Town Hall event held at Belmont University in Nashville, with veteran newscaster Tom Brokaw as moderator.
Obama said repeatedly that energy would be a top priority in his administration.
"We are going to have to deal with energy because we can't keep on borrowing from the Chinese and sending money to Saudi Arabia. We are mortgaging our children's future. We've got to have a different energy plan," he said.
McCain also said repeatedly that the United States is too dependent on foreign sources of oil. "We've got to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don't want us very - like us very much," he said early in the debate.
"My friends," he said once again, "some of this $700 billion ends up in the hands of terrorist organizations."
McCain said "drilling offshore and nuclear power are two vital elements" of U.S. energy independence.
McCain's energy policy depends heavily on nuclear power. "We can work on nuclear power plants. Build a whole bunch of them, create millions of new jobs," he said when asked what would be his top priority as president.
Later in the debate McCain reduced his assessment of how many jobs the nuclear industry might created, saying, "Look, I was on Navy ships that had nuclear power plants. Nuclear power is safe, and it's clean, and it creates hundreds of thousands of jobs."
"We have to have all of the above, alternative fuels, wind, tide, solar, natural gas, clean coal technology," the Republican said.
Democratic candidate Obama has called for an investment of $15 billion a year over 10 years toward energy independence. "Our goal should be, in 10 year's time, we are free of dependence on Middle Eastern oil."
"That would be priority number one," he said, calling energy independence a national security issue "because countries like Russia and Venezuela and, you know, in some cases, countries like Iran, are benefiting from higher oil prices."
In response to a question from a member of the public on what sacrifices Americans will have to make, Obama called on Americans to "save energy in our homes, in our buildings."
Obama promised "incentives so that you can buy a fuel efficient car that's made right here in the United States of America, not in Japan or South Korea."
"I believe in the need for increased oil production," Obama said. "We're going to have to explore new ways to get more oil, and that includes offshore drilling. It includes telling the oil companies, that currently have 68 million acres that they're not using, that either you use them or you lose them,"
"We're going to have to develop clean coal technology and safe ways to store nuclear energy," he said.
McCain dismissed Obama's requirement that nuclear power be safe, saying, "Nuclear power. Senator Obama says that it has to be safe or disposable or something like that."
"And I know that we can reprocess the spent nuclear fuel," said McCain. "The Japanese, the British, the French do it. And we can do it, too. Senator Obama has opposed that."
In fact, Japan transports the spent fuel from its nuclear reactors by ship to France and Britain for reprocessing.
Answering a question from the audience about how quickly the candidates would move to address environmental issues, like climate change and green jobs, McCain espoused environmental causes in a general way.
"We can move forward, and clean up our climate, and develop green technologies, and alternate - alternative energies for - for hybrid, for hydrogen, for battery-powered cars, so that we can clean up our environment and at the same time get our economy going by creating millions of jobs," McCain said.
Obama said, "It is absolutely critical that we understand this is not just a challenge, it's an opportunity, because if we create a new energy economy, we can create five million new jobs, easily, here in the United States."
"It can be an engine that drives us into the future the same way the computer was the engine for economic growth over the last couple of decades," said the Democrat.
Reminding the audience that his opponent voted against alternative energy 23 times, Obama said, "Sen. McCain talks a lot about drilling, and that's important, but we have three percent of the world's oil reserves and we use 25 percent of the world's oil."
"So what that means is that we can't simply drill our way out of the problem. And we're not going to be able to deal with the climate crisis if our only solution is to use more fossil fuels that create global warming," Obama said.
Stung by the assertion that he has voted against the alternative energy solutions he now espouses, McCain countered, "It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney."
"You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one," said McCain, referring to his opponent.
"You know who voted against it? Me."
McCain grew more impatient and dismissive of Obama as the debate continued into areas of foreign policy, until by the end of the encounter, the Republican was ignoring his opponent.
After the debate had concluded and both candidates were free to walk around the hall talking to audience members, Senator Obama offered his hand to his opponent, but McCain looked away.

First things first. What are the birth registers and how were they created? The short answer is that I don't know for sure. But, I have a guess that pertains to the books that were organized into alphabetical sections by month and year. (The earliest books are arranged differently.) Many early births went unrecorded, but when a record was created, I believe a doctor or midwife, or another person who attended the birth, filled out a birth certificate form and returned it to the county clerk's office.
At that point, I think the county copied the information from the birth certificate into a birth register and assigned a certificate number based on the line number for the entry. The registers would have provided a systematic way for assigning certificate numbers while serving as a detailed, chronological index to the actual records.
|Example birth register page from 1913. (Year is recorded on
the right-hand page but I've omitted that image to save space.)
Notice that the lines were pre-numbered and that
the writing is consistent up to the last few entries.
Let's look at an example page from a register that shows W.P.A. entries. Notice that the last six entries are in different handwriting. What's unique about them?
Register: Acerra (regular writing)
Certificate: 608 Maria Acerra, record not dated
Comment: This was probably the last entry made in March of 1913
Register: Altiger (dark pen)
Certificate: 609 Edward Atiger, record dated March 29, 1927
Comment: This certificate was signed by a doctor many years after the birth

Comment: This certificate was "signed" by the father but the name is actually typed
The two W. P. A. entries come after births reported in the 1920s and before a birth reported in 1941. The Works Progress Administration was active in the 1930s and I think it's safe to assume that these entries were made by W. P. A workers.
So, why were the entries made? Notice that the two W. P. A. certificates had at least one thing in common. The certificate number was changed. It's possible that the workers were moving misfiled records.
The certificate numbers that were changed were low, as I'd expect for an "A" birth early in the year, so I decided to check the birth register for March of 1914 to see if I could find an entry for John Adams. It was there on line 458, just as I'd hoped. It looks like his certificate was originally recorded in the 1914 register and assigned a certificate number from there but that's misleading because he was really born in 1913. I think the W. P. A. workers were correcting that error and I think it's likely a bit of detective work would also locate a register entry for Zosfia Andzejewska.
|1914 birth register page showing entry for John Adams on line 458.
|Continuation of John Adams entry showing year as 1914.
The curious thing to me is that the W. P. A. didn't record the names in the registers when they fixed errors and that they didn't make notations by the original register entries to document the certificate number changes. If I had located the birth register entry for John Adams in 1914 and used the year and line number there to search for his birth certificate on microfilm, I would have come up empty-handed.
Two things come to mind as I bring this post to a close.
1) Thing aren't always as they would seem. Looking at the birth register entry for John Adams, it would make no sense to say that he was born in 1913, and yet ... Notice, though, that the register probably isn't a primary source.
2) I am grateful for the efforts of the countless individuals who have volunteered indexing time to make Chicago records accessible through FamilySearch.

Plagiarism: How do I correctly cite my sources? Examples
Bibliographies: A bibliography or list of references provided at the conclusion of your paper informs the reader about the materials you consulted for your research but does not sufficiently acknowledge where you acquired the specific information that you discuss and refer to within the text of your paper.
Documenting sources: To avoid plagiarizing, you must give credit to those authors and sources from which you obtained information or ideas. Consequently, along with the bibliography, you will need to document quotations, text which you reword or rephrase, and summaries of text or ideas that you incorporate into your own work. In writing your paper, should you include information from a book, article, or website without acknowledging the original material, you may be accused of PLAGIARISM.
A "Parenthetical Reference" is one method of documenting a source of information. The examples of parenthetical references provided below follow the MLA style. However, should your instructor require you to use footnotes or endnotes instead of parenthetical references or require you to follow a style of documentation other than MLA, you can refer to the appropriate manual for instructions. Consistency in following the rules for a particular style is important. For additional examples of parenthetical references, refer to the MLA or APA style manuals. Other style manuals such as Chicago and Turabian provide examples of footnotes and endnotes for documentation.
Example: "The purpose of parenthetical references is to document a source
briefly, clearly, and accurately" (Trimmer 10).
In the example above, Trimmer is the author of the text that is quoted; the quote is
taken from page 10 of that text. The parenthetical reference briefly documents the
quote and refers the reader to the bibliography for the complete citation.
Example: Trimmer states that if you mention the author's name in your report after
referencing that author's ideas, you need only give the page number(s) of the
source in parentheses (10).
In this example, Trimmer's name is included in the text so that only the page is
necessary to include at the end of the paraphrased material. This brief
parenthetical reference provides enough information about the source to lead the
reader to the bibliography for the complete citation.
Example: Throughout Trimmer's 1984 guide to the new MLA style, he repeatedly
emphasizes the necessity of complete and thorough documentation.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Matt Pawlowski's 42-yard touchdown pass to Adam Smith with 19.7 seconds left gave Guilford College an improbable 35-31 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) football win over visiting Emory & Henry College Saturday. The Quakers (6-4, 5-2 ODAC) scored 35 unanswered second-half points to record the biggest comeback in school history and post their first winning season since 2007.
Emory & Henry (5-5, 2-5 ODAC) went ahead 31-0 on senior quarterback Kyle Boden's third touchdown pass of the game, a five-yard strike to tight end Kenton Williams that capped the second-half's opening drive. Emory & Henry went 75 yards in 13 plays and seemingly had the game in hand with 9:21 left in the third quarter.
However, the Quakers answered with an 11-play, 75-yard drive of their own and got on the scoreboard when Josh Schow plowed into the end zone from one yard out. The Quakers' Satiir Stevenson picked off a deflected Boden pass near midfield on the ensuing possession. Guilford converted the turnover into points when Pawlowski threw a 10-yard score to Smith, followed by a two-point conversion pass to Trey Dill. With under a minute to play in the third quarter, Guilford was within two touchdowns and momentum was on the Quakers' side.
After the Wasps' first third-quarter drive, Guilford's defense held Emory & Henry without a first down for three straight possessions. The Quakers' offense kept right on clicking and scored touchdowns on its final five possessions.
Pawlowski connected with Nick Mearite from 15 yards out early in the fourth quarter to make it a 31-21 game. The two-point conversion attempt failed, but the offense returned to the field less than two minutes later. Chad Christopher made a finger-tip catch from Pawlowski in the corner of the end zone, capping an eight-play, 48-yard scoring drive, which pulled Guilford to within, 31-28, with 6:33 left.
Emory & Henry finally picked up a first down on the next possession, on a personal foul penalty on Guilford. The Wasps' drive stalled, however, and they punted back to the Quakers, who took over at their own 11 with 2:26 remaining. Pawlowski completed four passes and carried twice for 13 yards before finding an open Smith from 42 yards out with the winning score.
The Wasps took over with 14 seconds left, but stalled on Guilford's 42-yard line with a Boden incompletion under heavy pressure from Jordan Sutton.
Pawlowski completed 37-of-52 passes for 358 yards and four touchdowns to finish with 24 touchdowns and three interceptions in his sophomore campaign. Classmate Hayden Read caught a career-high 12 passes for 102 yards and Smith finished with six grabs for 100 yards and two scores. Schow, Christopher and Nick Mearite all had five catches. Junior Hunter English paced the Quakers' defense with eight tackles in his first game in six weeks due to a hand injury.
Boden threw for 245 yards and three scores on 20-of-31 passing in his final college game. Lucas Kirby caught five passes for 69 yards and a first-quarter touchdown. Cleo Cooper made four grabs for 114 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter that gave the guests a 24-0 halftime lead. Emory & Henry linebacker Paul Forney led all players with 15 tackles.

Federal Requirement 4.2
Federal Requirement 4.2The institution's curriculum is directly related and appropriate to the purpose and goals of the institution and the diplomas, certificates, or degrees awarded.
_X_ Compliance ___ Non-Compliance
NarrativeMcNeese State University is in compliance with Federal Requirement 4.2.
McNeese State University maintains a curriculum that is directly related and appropriate to its mission and goals, core values, and appropriate to the degrees awarded.
As stated in the mission, McNeese State University is primarily a teaching institution whose mission is successful education of the undergraduate students and services to the employers and communities in its region. Fundamental to that mission is the offering of "an array of liberal arts programs at the baccalaureate level-arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences-appropriate to a teaching institution with a predominantly undergraduate student body." The University's mission also is to provide "Master's programs primarily related to education, engineering, arts and sciences, nursing, and business" and "custom academic programs and professional certifications integrated with area business and industry." Accordingly, a small number of graduate degree programs and certificate programs are offered to students, and the majority of major programs of study leading to degrees are concentrated in bachelor degree programs.
Until August 6, 2012, when the University adopted its current Mission Statement, McNeese's mission had included the offering of Associate degrees (previous mission statement). In accordance with the Grad Act of 2010, which requires all associate degree programs at 4-year institutions be eliminated by 2014 (with approved exceptions), McNeese is in the process of reducing its number of associate degrees, which currently stands at five (2 AS, 1 AA, 1 AGS, and 1 ASN) although notice of termination and teach out for some of these programs has either already been presented to SACSCOC or is pending, after Board of Regents approval.
Central to the University's undergraduate programs is the required core curriculum. The core represents the general education foundation upon which all associate and baccalaureate degree programs are constructed and is typical of freshman and sophomore year courses available to students in other institutions within the University of Louisiana Systems as well as in public and private institutions throughout Louisiana and the nation. The core identifies the range of general education courses and specifies learning competencies associated with its completion. Through the current academic year, McNeese programs have adhered to the core curriculum as described in the 2012-2013 Academic Catalog. For Associate degrees, the core requires 28 hours distributed across English (composition), Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Fine Arts with additional exposure to computer literacy and oral communication. Bachelor's degrees include coursework in all these area including international education for a total of 40 hours. All undergraduate programs require students to complete a freshman experience course (FFND 101).
The current curriculum, designed to adhere to Louisiana Board of Regents policy, has been revised for the upcoming academic year in response to changes to BOR Policy, and Curricular Detail that eliminated certain specific content requirements, such as computer literacy, international education, and communications, as well as the specific learning competencies that had been required of all institutions. These changes came in late April 2012 by the Board of Regents. For the 2012-2013 academic year, McNeese continued with the previous Regents' requirements, but has adopted a revised curriculum and competencies for the upcoming academic year. The new curriculum requires the same content and credit hours but narrows the number of courses that can be taken for general education; additionally, it reduces the number of learning competencies from 13 to 6, skill-based competencies associated with the disciplinary areas that continue the assessment system already in place.
Building on upon the educational foundation provided by the Core Requirements, associate and bachelor degree programs are available in unique fields of study, and each of these consists of course offerings developed by the faculty in order to provide appropriate exposure to and understanding of the respective subject areas. These degree programs, constructed around required and elective course offerings and sequences, are developed and administered by the faculty under the statutory oversight of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors and the Louisiana Board of Regents with the intended outcome of providing students with essential knowledge and competencies relative to their fields of study.
Successful EducationIn keeping with the institution's mission of providing "successful education," fourteen academic colleges, departments, or degree programs have obtained accreditation or approval for programs within their disciplines (2012-13 Catalog Accreditation), and an additional thirteen agencies have approved or certified degree programs in a variety of academic fields. The University continually participates in periodic review of academic programs by external accrediting bodies and internal review processes for programs without accrediting bodies.
General and basic studies, business, education, engineering and technology, graduate school, liberal arts, nursing, and science comprise the divisions of study within the University. Each of these divisions, except business, education, general and basic studies, and graduate school, offer myriad subjects of study that can be packaged together toward associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degree programs according to criteria set forth by the faculty under management of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors and oversight by the Louisiana Board of Regents. Degree offerings in business and education are limited to baccalaureate and graduate fields of study. Degree offerings in general and basic studies are limited to associate and baccalaureate fields of study. Degree offerings through the graduate school are limited to the master's degree and are tied to the faculty and programs of the appropriate college within the University. In addition to degrees, certificates are awarded through education, engineering, nursing, and liberal arts (2012-13 Catalog Program Listings).
The University distinguishes itself as an academic institution through the success of its students. Pass rates on professional examinations such as clinical laboratory science, nursing, and radiologic sciences indicate the University's preparation of students is rigorous and competitive. These rates are reported annually as part of McNeese's GRAD Act report, specifically in section 1di.
The University prioritizes it resources first in support of teaching, learning, and instructional support. As demonstrated in operating budget allocations for the past 5 years, the primary expenditure of the University is in direct support of its educational programs, library and learning support functions (5-yr Expenditures by Function).
University-community AlliancesThe University's geographical location and the educational needs of the southwest Louisiana region also influence the manner in which the University's mission to serve "employers in the region, both public and private, school districts, health care providers, local governments, and private businesses" and "economic development interests and regional entrepreneurs" is expressed in its curricular offerings and degrees offered. For example, Calcasieu Parish Schools, headquartered in the University's home city of Lake Charles, constitutes the 6th largest public school system in the state and enrolls over 32,261. When enrollment data from the parishes immediately surrounding Calcasieu are combined with the local school enrollment, more than 68,946 children are enrolled in public K-12 schools within a fifty mile radius of the McNeese State University campus (see Louisianas 10 Largest Districts and Student Enrollment In Public Schools). The ever increasing demand for teachers, school counselors, educational technologists, campus principals and central office administrators in these school districts and beyond is an important factor in the curricular options offered through the University's College of Education as it seeks to build University-community linkages.
The local petrochemical and manufacturing industries illustrate another significant opportunity and responsibility for the University to fulfill its mission-related objective of service by supporting economic development in the region. More than twenty major local industries, including Boise-Cascade, Citco, ConocoPhillips, Dupont, and PPG participate in the Lake Area Industries/McNeese Engineering Partnership (LAI/MEP), established in 1990, whereby technology is transferred to the local industries by seminars and workshops held on campus and on industry sites (LAI/MEP). In 2010, LAI/MEP was placed under the auspices of a newly created Institute for Industry-Education Collaboration (IIEC) which provides a framework for expanding and strengthening University-industry collaborations that benefit not only local industries and the local economy but also McNeese students (IIEC).
Also in 2010, McNeese State University formally entered into a partnership with the City of Lake Charles, the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, and the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury to establish the Southwest Louisiana Entrepreneurial and Economic Development (SEED) Center. The SEED Center, a 50,000 square foot facility nearing completion on the McNeese campus, will serve as a business incubator to support and encourage entrepreneurship and small business development in the 5-parish area while providing training opportunities for McNeese student interns in diverse majors such as accounting, marketing, management, finance, agricultural science, and engineering. The center will provide space for direct hands-on training for business start-ups (classrooms and conference rooms). Student interns will benefit from the training opportunities. Students will gain real time experience and knowledge about business plans, marketing, finances, accounting, operations, etc. Students enrolled will also benefit from SEED Center education initiatives designed for the business incubators: accounting, marketing, management, finance, agriculture, engineering, general studies and others.
The University's College of Nursing and College of Science provide the only University-affiliated programs in health-care related fields (nursing, clinical laboratory science, and radiological sciences) within sixty miles in any direction for a metropolitan region populated by over 185,000 in Calcasieu Parish alone plus an additional 100,000 persons residing collectively in parishes immediately surrounding Calcasieu (regional population data). The University's extensive number of endowed professorships and chairs, underwritten by philanthropic and business interests throughout the region, conforms the value placed on the University and its academic programs by the University's local and extended community (Endowed Professorships and Chairs in 2012-13 catalog).

Prawn Cocktail – Chef Swarup Chaterjee
July 19, 2015
Rajdeep Bhattacharjee wears many feathers in his cap. A ravenous eater, a thirsty drinker, an enthusiastic traveller and a very sound sleeper – Rajdeep, once a wannabe hacker and now a Government employee, is an aspiring food critic and travel blogger. He hates the loose use of the word 'foodie' and prefers, instead, the expression 'food devotee'. For him, good food and honest people are the biggest motivators.
He is the founder of Gourmets Travel Guide, a website devoted completely to food and travel. Rajdeep is an avid blogger and one can find many of his sojourns aptly expressed on the website www.gourmetstravelguide.com.
Rajdeep had been recently chosen by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to board the inaugural flight from Kolkata to Bangkok (TG – 336) and received accolades for wonderfully recounting the experience, from start to finish, in his blog. In fact, his travelogue was featured in Hangla Hneshel, one of India's foremost Bengali magazine dedicated completely to food and travel. Rajdeep doesn't stop there! One of his undersea walks also got featured in The Telegraph, one of India's leading dailies. He is also one of the chief curators and a selector for chefs and restaurants for Channel One's Resto Ranna episodes.
Zomato ranks Rajdeep among the top ten food connoisseurs in the city. He has also been ranked number 5 and 6, in this year's Network 18 and Burrp surveys respectively, as one of the discerning food critics in the country.
Rajdeep loves eating out at different restaurants. A true blue Bengali at heart and gut, experimenting with food and palates come naturally to him. And he doesn't mind leaving an endearing word or two for chefs who have displayed their talents on the plate and the restaurant management for the inviting ambiance of an eatery.
Rajdeep counts is as his forte the wonderful rapport he shares with different media houses. Thus his writings have already been picked up by top food journals and news dailies apart from the exposure he has to talk about them on social media. Reputation management of his clients come naturally to him be it on the virtual platform or in print.
He has been blogging for the last three years. When he is not writing on food and travel or working as a Government employee, you can most certainly catch him with a camera slung around his neck and travel gear ready to satisfy his inner wanderlust.

Rookies Lack, Jensen lead Canucks past Predatorsby Kevin Woodley
VANCOUVER -- A couple of rookies helped keep the Vancouver Canucks' slim hopes of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs alive a little longer.
Recent call-up Nicklas Jensen snapped a scoreless tie 6:06 into the third period and Alexander Edler added a power-play goal 1:13 later to lead the Canucks to a 2-0 win against the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night at Rogers Arena.
First-year goalie Eddie Lack made 30 saves for his rookie-leading fourth shutout of the season as the Canucks (32-30-10) moved within three points of the Phoenix Coyotes in the race for the second Western Conference wild-card position in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Vancouver has 10 games left in the regular season and doesn't play again until Sunday. The Coyotes have 13 and the Dallas Stars, who are one point ahead of the Canucks, have 14 games to play.
"It was a must win for us," said captain Henrik Sedin, who set up both goals. "If we lose and things don't go our way the next couple days we are out of it. Now we get a few days of scoreboard watching and hope for losses for teams around us and we're back in it."
Jensen has played a big role in keeping the Canucks in it as they alternated between wins and losses for a seventh straight game. He opened the scoring after Sedin lost the puck in the slot, only to see it bounce right to the rookie forward inside the right faceoff dot for a quick wrist shot over Carter Hutton's glove.
"When he gets chances he can put the puck in the net," Sedin said.
It was Jensen's third goal in four games, and his fifth point in seven games since being called up from the American Hockey League and put on the top line.
"It's being confident and not panicking and just trying to put it on net," Jensen said of his shot, which went just under the crossbar. "The fact the coach gives me that opportunity is really good, but at the same time you have to show you want to be in those situations too."
Jensen's latest goal may have been costly, however, as linemate Alexandre Burrows threw off his left glove after appearing to take a slash from Shea Weber as the puck went into the net. Burrows, who snapped a 35-game goal drought with five goals in the past four games after Jensen was put on his line, went straight to the dressing room. He returned to play four shifts, but will re-evaluated on Thursday.
Edler doubled the lead on Vancouver's only power play. Sedin won the ensuing faceoff after defenseman Victor Bartley, who was in the lineup for surprise scratch Michael Del Zotto, was called for interference. Kevin Bieksa fed the puck across to Edler for a one-timer that beat Hutton low on the glove side.
Hutton started for the Predators one night after replacing Pekka Rinne midway through the third period of a 5-1 loss against the Edmonton Oilers, and finished with 20 saves. But Nashville was shut out for the ninth time, tying the Buffalo Sabres for the most in the NHL.
"We've got to get some goals for our goaltender," Predators coach Barry Trotz said. "Carter Hutton had a good game for us. We need some production from our forwards. We've got virtually zero. If our defense aren't scoring, we're not scoring it seems like."
Nashville's third straight loss dropped the Predators (29-31-10) six points behind Vancouver and nine behind the Coyotes for the second wild-card spot. Unlike the loss in Edmonton the night before, however, Trotz was happy with his team's effort against the Canucks.
"Our compete level [against the Oilers] wasn't at the level I expect the Nashville Predators to be at, and tonight it was," Trotz said. "I didn't have any passengers tonight. Last night I couldn't say that."
Trotz said it was his choice to sit out Del Zotto, who was acquired from the New York Rangers in a trade for fellow defenseman Kevin Klein on Jan. 22. Del Zotto has three assists in 18 games since the trade.
"I just need him to be more consistent," Trotz said. "He's played pretty good but his game slipped and our coaching staff has been talking to him about making really solid decisions, solid plays and he's gotten away from that a little bit. I have high expectations for Del Zotto so when he doesn't meet those sometimes you just need to sit out and watch how the game is played. Hopefully it got his attention."
Nashville also lost center Paul Gaustad to an upper-body injury late in the first period. Gaustad appeared to hit his head on the ice after being taken down by Edler on a partial break. Gaustad, who has nine goals and 16 points in 70 games, was slow to get up, then went straight to the dressing room and did not return. There was no update after the game, and he is listed as day to day.
The Canucks, coming off a four-game road trip that ended with a 4-3 loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday, needed 8:27 to record their first shot and were outshot 14-7 in the first period. Lack, who was making his 12th straight start, was forced to make his best three saves on Patric Hornqvist, including a couple of great point-blank chances late in the first period.
It was a good bounce back performance for Lack, who gave up six third-period goals in a loss against the New York Islanders his last home game, and struggled at times during the recent road trip.
"I'm the first one to say I haven't got to my best so far and it feels good coming out with a shutout tonight for sure," Lack said.
The Canucks are counting on the 26-year-old rookie, who has started all nine since No. 1 goalie Roberto Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers.
"He's shown some unbelievable poise," Sedin said. "For a guy in his first year where everyone thought he was going to play 15 games to come in and steal the No. 1 job, he had some tough games on the road but comes back here in a must win and plays solid for us."

Investors in commercial property should look to Sweden, Germany and Finland for the most attractive risk-adjusted returns over the next five years, according to analysis released today by Aviva InvestorsIn contrast, investors in Southern European real estate markets and particularly in Spain face high risks and low return expectations relative to other European countries.
The results form part of Aviva Investors' Macro and Property (MaP) Risk Ratings analysis, with key findings including:
• Finland has become the least risky market in Europe for real estate investors from a macro-economic perspective. It replaces Sweden, which has experienced a slight worsening in its macro and property risk ratings in the last six months, but which overall remains one of the most attractive markets for investors.
• At a sector level, Finnish offices appear most appealing with Swedish industrial, Swedish retail and German industrial all relatively attractive. Risk-return prospects are least appealing in the retail and office sectors in Spain and Italy.
• Looking at real-estate specific risk, the UK is now the second least risky property market in Europe following improvements in its score on measures of transparency. Property risks are highest in Ireland, Hungary and Spain.
• Macro-economic risk in Ireland has seen a relative improvement over the last six months, but risks remain elevated. A weakening outlook for the economy and public sector in the Netherlands has led to a worsening of its macro risk rating.
Chris Urwin, Global Research Manager for Aviva Investors, commented:
"Commercial property markets across Europe face extremely elevated levels of risk as the European debt crisis continues to unfold. We are expecting negative capital growth for many markets during the next two years, which will constrain investors' total returns. However, for those making strategic allocation decisions, certain European markets present a strong investment case over the medium and long term. Of these, our research suggests that higher yielding industrial markets in countries such as Germany and the Nordics are worth close consideration."
The MaP Risk Ratings analysis was developed by the Aviva Investors real estate strategy and research team and provides an overview of the relative prospects for European commercial property markets over the next four years. It is created by combining Aviva Investors' views on total returns with a detailed evaluation of macro-economic and real estate-specific risk. This is the second published analysis and it is updated every six months.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I've been here in southern Australia for two and a half weeks already. This is the southern hemisphere; it is winter, though the temperature is in the high '50s each day; it is new to see different stars in the night sky, and the sun moving across the northern sky by day. And yes, the water does swirl down the drain counterclockwise. Melbourne is a "walkable" city, and the museums and galleries are very fine. So there is a lot to do even before one contemplates traveling outside the city. Haven't seen one kangaroo or koala yet. The most exotic thing thus far is "Australian Rules Football," a fascinating world unto itself.
I am here at Visiting Research Scholar at the Australian Catholic University, and beneficiary thus far of the wonderful hospitality of the staff of the university, the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy, and of its Center for Interreligious Dialogue. Dean Anne Hunt and Dr. Anita Ray have been superb hosts. There is also a Jesuit Theological College near the campus of Melbourne University, where Jesuits from all over Asia come for their studies, and I've been to visit the community there several times already. (Last night I attended the book release for Fr. Gerald O'Collins' new book, A Midlife Journey, volume one of his autobiography, reaching only to the 1970s. Gerry taught at the Gregorian for nearly 40 years, and his life encapsulates the Church in these decades. We are all eagerly awaiting volume two, which brings the story up to the present time, and includes all the dramas of the past few decades.)
Soon after I arrived I attended the Australia Catholic Theological Association annual meeting, and will give a lecture at the Australasian Sanskrit Association meeting in Sydney this weekend. In Sydney and here, there are also smaller events, such as a workshop on comparative theology in each city. I was a guest this past weekend at a Hindu Ashram outside the city, the Shiva School of Meditation and Yogaat Mount Eliza, where Swami Shankarananda and everyone there were most gracious and welcoming, and I enjoyed a very good exchange that was both spiritual and intellectually nourishing. I am also trying to balance getting my own writing down —several essays, two book chapters, etc., at the moment, before returning in early August to get back to finishing my book on the Song of Songs and the Hindu Tiruvaymoli. And then it will be the new academic year again.
So this is just an incredibly interesting and busy summer break, and this may be why I have no great insights into my experience here. Perhaps I am just still getting used to the benefits of being far from the USA and Cambridge and Harvard, in touch by email, but not in the office every day. It is good sometimes to be far away. Perhaps too, it is salutary simply to visit Australia for the first time, a part of the world with a long and interesting history, and to see here a Church and a Catholic university that are very diverse and yet, perhaps because Catholics form a relatively small community in a relatively small population in a vast country, also more unified and compact. The challenges are in a way recognizable: unity and diversity, conservative and progressive, institution and individual spiritual paths in tension with one another, a sense of Catholic identity that is yet being tested in a culture both very religiously diverse and yet more secular than the USA.
More later – this is really just to greet my readers, and let you know where I've been these past weeks.
A wonderful report from Fr. Clooney but I did wonder about this claim-Catholics make up about 25% of Oz's population(although church attendance is way down in the single digits). It doesn't seem like a "small community" but a large part of it is struggling with heavy-handed tactics from the Vaticanites.

FRITZ!Box 7330 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Cannot send or receive faxes with external fax machine
Although you configured the fax device according to our guide and can conduct calls over the FRITZ!Box, you cannot send or receive faces. Faxes cannot be transmitted or transmission is aborted. One of the following error messages may be displayed in the event log of the FRITZ!Box:
- "Not Acceptable Here (488)"
- "Unsupported Media Type (415)"
- "Not Acceptable Here (606)"
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem persists.
1 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box
- Install the latest FRITZ!OS on the FRITZ!Box.
2 Checking the event log of the FRITZ!Box
- Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Event Log" in the "System" menu.
- Select "Telephony" from the drop-down list.
- Check whether one of the following error messages is displayed for a failed fax. If this is the case, note the information that correspond to the message.
- If the message "Unsupported Media Type (415) is displayed, then your provider does not support the requested codec or generally does not allow fax transmission.
- If the message "Not Acceptable Here (488 or 606)" is displayed, then your provider does not support the T.38 standard. Without T.38 (Fax over IP), fax transmission over the internet is not reliable.
3 Setting your fax device to touch-tone dialing
- Set your device to "touch-tone dialing" (DTMF) and not "pulse dialing". If tone dialing is selected, you will hear a tone when you press a number key; with pulse dialing, you hear clicking sounds. Refer to the device's manufacturer for information on how to set it up, for example consult the manual.
4 Enabling the fax switch (passive)
If you want to use your analog landline number to receive telephone calls as well as faxes, enable the FRITZ!Box's fax switch. The fax switch automatically forwards faxes to a fax machine configured in the FRITZ!Box:
Important:For faxes to be recognized and forwarded, a different device, for example a telephone or answering machine, must accept the call first. The fax switch does not recognize calls that are not accepted.
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Telephone Numbers" in the "Telephony" menu.
- Click on the "Line Settings" tab.
- Enable the passive fax switch. If the setting is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first and configure your analog landline number in the FRITZ!Box. Then you can enable the passive fax switch.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
5 Reconfiguring the fax machine
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Telephony Devices" in the "Telephony" menu.
- If the fax machine is already displayed in the list of telephony devices, click the (Delete) button for the fax machine.
- Reconfigure the fax machine: Click the "Configure New Device" button and follow the instructions.
- If you cannot select the extension the fax device is connected to when configuring it, then another telephony device has already been configured for the extension. You must delete this device first.
6 Testing different remote sites
- Test whether you can send a fax to or from different fax machines connected to different telephone lines.
- If fax transmission only fails with a particular remote site, then the fax machine at the remote site is either not ready to receive faxes or incorrectly configured.
7 Testing different transmission speeds
Many fax machines allow you to select from various transmission speeds (4800, 7200, 9600, 14400 and 36600 Baud):
- If your fax machine offers this option, test different transmission speeds one after another. The FRITZ!Box supports fax transmission speeds of up to 14400 Baud.
Note:You can find information on configuring the transmission speed in its manual, or consult its manufacturer directly.
8 Enabling the error correction mode (ECM)
Using the error correction mode (ECM) with your fax machine can considerably improve the results, as long as the remote machine also supports ECM. However, in some cases the results are worse:
- Enable the error correction mode (ECM) in your fax machine for testing purposes. Refer to the device's manufacturer for information on how to configure ECM, for example consult the manual.
9 Checking whether T.38 was used for fax transmission
The following steps are only necessary if you want to use an internet telephone number to send and/or receive faxes:
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Telephone Numbers" in the "Telephony" menu.
- Click on the "Voice transmission" tab. If the tab is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
- Look for aborted faxes under "Display table on completed telephone calls" and check whether "T.38" is displayed in the "Coding" column for these faxes:
- If "T.38" is displayed, then T.38 was used for the fax transmission.
- If "T.38" is not displayed, then T.38 was not used. Without T.38 (Fax over IP), fax transmission over the internet is not reliable.
Note:If your internet telephony provider does not support T.38, you can use an internet number of an internet telephony provider that supports T.38 to receive faxes. If your FRITZ!Box is connected with an analog landline, you can also use your landline number instead of the internet number for faxing.
- If "T.38" is not displayed, then T.38 was not used. Without T.38 (Fax over IP), fax transmission over the internet is not reliable.
If you still cannot send or receive a fax or it is aborted, there are unfortunately no further settings in your FRITZ!Box that influence faxing. In such cases, the problem lies with the fax.
Note:Often, the manufacturer of a fax machine can give you helpful advice on how to ideally configure the fax machine for use with a PBX.

Sometimes, home sweet home can seem like a money pit. But your house doesn't have to cost you tons for upkeep when you use ingenuity, creativity, shopping sense and saving sense to bring out the best without breaking the bank. Check out all of these clever ways your fellow readers have discovered to make home a wonderful place, with money and time to spare.
ON TRACK. My best tip for keeping our food budget under control is to keep the kitchen clean. Having a dirty kitchen makes it less likely that I will cook and more likely we'll order out. — Marnie, Washington
TWISTER DECOR. I used the mat from Twister game as a table cover for my son's birthday party. Big dots in bright colors on a white background — it was perfect! And it cleaned up beautifully both before and after the party. — Marlene, email
EASY GRILL CLEANING. Instead of scrubbing your grill clean and making a huge mess, put the grill racks in your self-cleaning oven the next time you run the cycle. If they are chrome, they will discolor a bit, but you won't spend all that time scrubbing. — Eric, email
LONGEVITY FOR WICKER. A furniture restoration expert taught me this easy lesson: To prevent wicker patio furniture from turning yellow, scrub it with a stiff brush moistened with warm salt water. Allow to dry in the sun. — Pam, Oregon
WINDOW WASH ALTERNATIVE. I have used the expensive commercially available window washing spray canisters that attach to your hose. They work great, but cost a lot. My carpet cleaner saw me using those products and told me to save the canister and refill it with car washing liquid that you buy in the automotive section. It works just as well and costs pennies on the dollar. The key is that the soap has the additive that makes the soap sheet off, so you don't have to dry or squeegee the window. It really works! - -Linda, email
SOFT SCRUB SUB. Why spend $4 to $5 for a bottle of liquid cleanser like Soft Scrub, when you can easily make it yourself? Just find a bottle, add the contents of a can of Ajax, Comet or Bon Ami powdered cleanser, add warm water, and shake to mix. Works great, and no more wet and clogged cleanser cans in the shower. — Russ, North Carolina
This last tip is not so much about your home, but rather your pets. Consider it a bonus.
VACATIONING WITH PETS. Have a special ID tag for any pet that's traveling with you. Include a name and telephone number that points the way to you on vacation — not you back home. — Pat, Oklahoma
Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
You can email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

Puddle of Mudd Singer Pitches Bizarre Onstage Tantrum
We're stepping outside the world of classic rock for a moment to bring you some strange video. It's been a bumpy few years for Puddle of Mudd, with recent releases failing to match the sales of the band's multi-platinum debut and frontman Wes Scantlin repeatedly making headlines for a series of legal issues. And based on what happened at their April 16 show in a Dallas club, things aren't getting better.
TMZ reports that Scantlin erupted partway through the gig, throwing his microphone into the crowd and strolling around the stage to exchange various verbal and physical profanities with members of the audience. (He also threw what appears to be a bunch of beer at them, but to be fair, it looks possible that the crowd fired first in that regard.) You can watch it all unravel in the video embedded above.
Details are still sketchy at this point. Scantlin's reps haven't responded to requests for comment, and the band has yet to comment about the incident on their website, Twitter or Facebook pages as of this posting. TMZ's report claims that paramedics were called to the scene to aid an injured member of the crowd and speculates that the person in question was wounded by Scantlin's flying microphone. Scantlin was arrested several times in a 10-month span during 2013 -- for charges including vandalism, assault, speeding, theft and failure to pay taxes. Here's hoping no one was hurt badly during the show.

Bonhams is pleased to announce the Bonhams New York 2013/2014 Season Lecture Series. Timed to coincide with most major auctions held in the New York Galleries, Bonhams will be hosting relevant lectures presented by well-known and highly regarded authors and specialists in specific fields.
To kick off the Fall season of lectures, we are pleased to announce the inaugural talk entitled Lockwood de Forest and a Tale of Two Chairs, presented by Roberta Mayer, author of the definitive work: Lockwood de Forest : Furnishing the Gilded Age with a Passion for India (2008). Roberta will speak of de Forest's life and career, and will be also discussing the fascinating history of a recent Bonhams discovery - a pair of rare and important brass-sheathed chairs designed by the American artist, that will be presented at auction in the following days. This lecture will take place on Sunday, September 22, at 2pm.
Quickly following will be a fascinating lecture entitled Hallmarking: The Oldest Form of Consumer Protection, presented by Mr. Jonathan Stone. Mr. Stone will discuss how the form and function of English hallmarks have evolved from roughly 1300 AD to the present day. He will also discuss fakes and forgeries and alterations, and will provide insight in to how to readily discover them.
Jonathan Stone has collected English, Irish, and Scottish silver for sixty years; and, as a lawyer by profession, during that period he has studied in some depth the fascinating story of hallmarking, and the legislation behind it. He has lectured extensively and has written for, amongst other publications, The Times, Sunday Times, Apollo, The Conoissseur, Antiques (USA), and Goya (Spain); his talks on the BBC Third Programme were published in The Listener. At a very early age, Jonathan Stone became a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, and subsequently a Liveryman of the Company. He has served on the Modern Plate Committee, and for four years on the Antique Plate Committee which is charged with advising the Court of the Goldsmiths Company on items of plate which are suspected to contravene the Hallmarking Acts.
This lecture will be presented at Bonhams New York galleries on Tuesday, September 24, at 7pm. A brief reception will be held prior to the lecture.
These lectures are free and open to the public, however, space is limited. Please RSVP for these lectures as soon as possible at 212 644 9143 or by email at email@example.com.

How to put an MSO inside another MSOLaubender Jul 23, 2012 4:28 AM
Hello all!
An interesting question came up in the following post by Folobo:
"Is it possible to use a slideshow embedded in a big overlay slideshow?"
I'd like to rephrase this question:
"Is it possible to put a MultiStateObject (MSO) inside another MultiStateObject?"
And further: if the answer is "yes", could we put that to use with the DPS?
@Folobo – this is an interesting question. A quick test is showing that you cannot do it in the UI (correct me if I'm wrong).
Let's try it this way:
If you have two objects:
1. an MSO #1 (with two rectangles, rectangle #1, rectangle #2)
2. Another rectangle on the page: rectangle #3
Now select the two objects and make an MSO out of it (using the "Object States" panel).
You would think, now I get an MSO with two states, state 1 with rectangle #3 together with state 2 with MSO #1.
But not so:
Result: One new MSO with three states (rectangle #1, rectangle #2, rectangle #3)
Hm. I don't give up on that. Let's try it another way:
Could we select at least two objects inside a state of an MSO and make that a new MSO?
Sure, We could select two objects inside a state, but since we are *inside* an MSO the "Object States" panel does not show the possibility to make a new MSO. You can only add states or add objects to states…
Frustrating. End of story? Maybe…
Be forewarned. The following is highly experimental!
Let's try it by scripting (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
The scripting reference is showing that an MSO "MultiStateObject" object has an add()-method. And further on, that add()-method could be applied to:
And that is the key to a possible solution. We could add a new MSO to a "pageItem" object.
A simple rectangle should be qualify for a "pageItem" object; and that, of course, could reside in a state of an MSO.
So, we could add a new MSO to a rectangle inside of a MSO!
How can we access a rectangle inside a MSO? Easy: We could select it and work with that selection.
So let's do that: select the rectangle in the first state of an MSO and run this one-line-script (be sure you did select the rectangle and not the MSO or one of its states:
We now have an MSO inside another MSO!
A "generic MSO" was added with the add()-function to a selection (the container object: in our case the selected rectangle).
The "generic MSO" is a two state MSO consisting of one rectangle in each state of a very small size (10px x 10px).
At first it is invisible, because it is very likely that it is positioned outside the geometric bounds of its container object (the rectangle).
But we can customize this!
Go to the layers palette and select the new MSO, move it inside the geometric bounds of its container object, readjust its size, add states as you wish, populate the states with images, and other objects etc.pp.
So, what can we do with an MSO inside another MSO? (As I already said, this is highly experimental.)
My experiments with that are very fresh. I did not try a lot. But it seems that we could at least autoplay this MSO.
I have to test more thoroughly what is possible and what will work with buttons etc.pp…
I really like to hear from you what you will find out and if you can put it to any use.
