Some users may find the default Java fonts or the display mode of fonts in Java applications to be unpleasant. Several methods to improve the font display in the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) are available. These methods may be used separately, but many users will find they achieve better results by combining them.
TrueType fonts appear to be the best supported format for use with Java.
Anti-aliasing of fonts is available with Sun Java 1.6 on Linux. To do this on a per user basis, add the following line to the user's Template:Filename.
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=setting'
Replace Template:Codeline with one of the following seven values:
- Template:Codeline or Template:Codeline or Template:Codeline – No anti-aliasing
- Template:Codeline – Full anti-aliasing
- Template:Codeline – Use the font's built-in hinting instructions
- Template:Codeline or Template:Codeline – Anti-aliasing tuned for many popular LCD monitors
- Template:Codeline – Alternative LCD monitor setting
- Template:Codeline – Alternative LCD monitor setting
- Template:Codeline – Alternative LCD monitor setting
The Template:Codeline and Template:Codeline settings work well in many instances.
Optionally to use GTK look and feel, add the following line to .bashrc instead. Note that the Java options described above and this one only work for applications that draw their GUI in Java, like Jdownloader, and not for applications which utilize Java as backend only, like Openoffice.org and Matlab.
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'
For the above change to take effect, Template:Filename must be sourced as the normal user.
$ source ~/.bashrc
Open a new instance of a Java application to test the changes made.
Font selection
TrueType fonts
Some Java applications may specify use of a particular TrueType font; these applications must be made aware of the directory path to the desired font. TrueType fonts are installed in the directory Template:Filename. Add the following line to Template:Filename to enable these fonts.
export JAVA_FONTS=/usr/share/fonts/TTF
Source Template:Filename as the normal user for the change to take effect.
$ source ~/.bashrc
Default fonts
The Lucida fonts distributed with the Sun JRE are the default for Java applications that do not specify a different font's use. The Lucida fonts were designed for low resolution displays and printers; many users will wish to use other fonts. The default Java fonts can be changed on a system-wide basis by the creation or editing of a file named Template:Filename.
As root, change directory to Template:Filename. Copy Template:Filename to Template:Filename. Then, as root, open the new Template:Filename in an editor.
# cd /opt/java/jre/lib # cp fontconfig.properties.src fontconfig.properties # nano fontconfig.properties
The Java font names in the configuration file are in the form of Template:Codeline, for example, Template:Codeline. These generic fonts are mapped to the installed fonts using X logical font description (XLFD) names. The Template:Codeline, in the example below, is used as a placeholder in the XLFD name for the point size. The Java application replaces Template:Codeline at runtime.
Change the Lucida fonts named in the Template:Filename file to your selected fonts using the XLFD names. Below is an excerpt of a Template:Filename file after modifications have been made. The Lucida fonts have been replaced by DejaVu fonts.
# Version -- a version number is required. # IMPORTANT -- Do not delete the next line. Ever. version=1 # Component Font Mappings # gen_name.style.subset= # -fndry-fmly-wght-slant-sWdth-adstyle-pxlsz-ptSz-resx-resy-spc-avgWdth-rgstry-encdng serif.plain.latin-1=-misc-dejavu serif-medium-r-normal-*-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 serif.bold.latin-1=-misc-dejavu serif-bold-r-normal-*-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 serif.italic.latin-1=-misc-dejavu serif-medium-o-normal-*-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
After the changes have been saved to Template:Filename, the editor may be closed and the user should drop root privileges. Open a new instance of a Java application to test the changes.

Eli Lilly and Company: A Prescription for Innovation
Innovation is essential in the pharmaceutical industry and at Eli Lilly and Company. Yet innovation can be met with challenges given the highly regulated nature of the industry, even when launching a Web site that reaches customers in the mobile space. Patients are people first. They are not diseases walking around. Lilly for Better Health is a consumer-facing program that goes beyond medicine to support the individual's health journey, most notably by delivering health education resources on lillyforbetterhealth.com. Recently, lillyforbetterhealth.com became Lilly's first Web property to use responsive design for optimal experience on desktop, tablets and mobile devices. The goal was simple: Improve the user experience. With a content-rich mix of videos, interactive tools and downloadable resources that make zero mention of Lilly medicines or products, the Web site focuses on topics such as exercise, stress and medication safety that are important to individuals and caregivers throughout every age and stage of life. The Web site offers nearly 100 non-product-branded health education resources in both English and Spanish, as well as content links that can be shared via social media. In this session, attendees will learn:
• How the Lilly for Better Health team navigated the strict legal, compliance and privacy guidelines of the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry to deliver a resource that conveniently places information in people's hands
• Why the low-risk nature of the non-product-branded Lilly for Better Health Web site was an advantage in advancing the company's mobile experience
• How an organization might benefit from its Web site's streamlined review process across all devices that trims review time
• What lillyforbetterhealth.com is up to next, including improving the experience for Spanish-speaking visitors

Mobile Video and the Future of Content Marketing
Various studies show that more than half of companies are already making use of video – a figure that is predicted to rise as more realize the possibilities. Nielsen claims that 64 percent of marketers expect video to dominate their strategy in the near future. The success stories of videos that have gone viral are legend. A recent campaign from Volkswagen, for example, saw a trio of its videos viewed a combined 155 million times. If such numbers seem out of reach for most marketers, they at least demonstrate video's inherent shareability. Engage viewers and they will share the video with others. They will spend longer time on the application and more time interacting with the brand. For any social media campaign or any search engine optimization exercise, video is without doubt one of the best tools in the kit. This session will focus on:
• What strategies mobile experts are using to maximize the potential of mobile video content marketing
• How video content marketing become important to marketers which are not in the television industry
• Other areas of content marketing that have been successful to marketers

Kids show off skills on diamond at Chase Field
PHOENIX -- The key, Grace Lyons said, was a good night's sleep and a good breakfast.
That and 6-of-6 on target in the pitching competition helped the 13-year-old from nearby Glendale, Ari., win the girls 13-14-year-old division of Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit & Run event, presented by Scotts, at Chase Field Sunday.
PHOENIX -- The key, Grace Lyons said, was a good night's sleep and a good breakfast.
That and 6-of-6 on target in the pitching competition helped the 13-year-old from nearby Glendale, Ari., win the girls 13-14-year-old division of Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit & Run event, presented by Scotts, at Chase Field Sunday.
Lyons was one of eight age-group winners of the Arizona Diamondbacks team championship for kids from Arizona and New Mexico. Twenty-four competitors took the diamond to see how far they could hit a softball and baseball off a tee, how accurate they were in hitting a target with pitches from 35 and 45 feet, and how fast they could zip around the bases from just off of second base around third to home plate.
Lyons has played baseball since she was six years old and only recently switched to softball. She's a middle infielder.
"I don't think I hit as best as I could, but pitching, you get the most points there, it helped," Lyons said. "I wasn't really stressed, I was just kind of zoned in."
A point total was assigned to each of the three events and then tabulated at the end of the competition to determine the overall winner of each age group. Winners' scores are compared with winners from the other 29 Major League clubs, with the top three overall scorers in each gender group earning an expenses-paid trip to New York and Citi Field for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game.
After the competition in New York, they'll get to shag balls in the outfield during the annual All-Star Game Home Run Derby.
The competition started early in the morning, and each participant got only three swings off a tee, six pitches and one chance to run a timed sprint on the basepaths.
Cannon Cook of Paradise Valley, Ariz., won the 11-12-year-old boys division despite wearing a brace over his injured right wrist. Cook had a hard time with pitching but did well enough in the other two events to win.
He'd gotten hurt only three days before, and his parents said the family was just happy Cook was in the competition.
Derrick Mitchell, a lanky eight-year-old, won the boys 7-8-year-old division. Baseball and athletics are in the Phoenix native's blood.
Derrick's father played college football. His paternal grandfather played baseball, and his maternal grandfather, Leon Brown, made it to the Majors with the New York Mets in 1976.
"It's exciting just to see him compete and do well in the competition. He's been working hard for it and it all came to fruition for him," Derrick's father, Donya, said.
Derrick hits in batting cages two or three times a week and has won the hitting competition at every Pitch, Hit & Run competition he's ever done, Donya Mitchell said.
Derrick, who plays third base and shortstop, was also the only kid his age allowed to play in the 10-11-year-old Little League division in his area.
"I had a lot of fun, it was awesome," Derrick said, mentioning how much he practiced for the competition. "I hit very hard to the outfield."
Derrick made sure to see as much of the D-backs' dugout as he could while his proud family looked on. All of the participants were given a plaque with the place in which they finished, and the winners were to be introduced to the crowd shortly before Sunday's D-backs-San Francisco Giants game.
Lyons' parents said the chance to see their daughter compete at a Major League park was meaningful.
"For a kid, that's a once-in-a-lifetime experience," Grace's dad, John, said. "That's why we just wanted her to have fun and enjoy the moment."

We all know by name Santa's eight reindeer, but if we were to actually see a reindeer could we tell if it was Dasher, Prancer or Comet? While they are not reindeer, the whitetail deer at The Dear Deer Farm southwest of Lucan are known not only by their name but their owner can point out one from another with relative ease.
We all know by name Santa's eight reindeer, but if we were to actually see a reindeer could we tell if it was Dasher, Prancer or Comet?
While they are not reindeer, the whitetail deer at The Dear Deer Farm southwest of Lucan are known not only by their name but their owner can point out one from another with relative ease.
With names like Walking Tall, Cinnamon Peaches and Sassy, the deer on the farm owned and operated by Denny Miller are not just livestock, they are like extended family.
After spending years working with registered cattle and horses, Miller opted to work with a different animal, and he said he is thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Miller actually was introduced to the deer farm concept through another deer farmer – Dwayne Davis of rural Seaforth.
"I started helping Dwayne off and on doing things like giving shots," said Miller. "He kept trying to sell some of his deer to me."
While the idea piqued Miller's interest he knew taking on a project like that was not something he would be able to do on his own.
So last year in talking with his wife's son, Steve, and his wife, Tiffany, who are both in the military, he discovered one of their plans after finishing up their military career was to get into deer farming.
"That took us by surprise," said Miller, adding it also put into motion the work that has become the deer farm located on the home site along TH 68. "We had no fencing, no pasture and our land was rented out."
Despite the challenges, the idea moved forward, and last year the first deer were purchased from Dwayne Davis.
Miller said raising deer is a lot different than cattle and horses, especially when it comes to the fawns.
"You have to bottle feed the fawns," said Miller. "That way they are easier to work with, and they are willing to let you handle them more."
The does, said Miller, are taken away from their mothers early on, at about 36 hours, and then are bottle fed for the next three months. Miller said he, wife Dorothy, and their kids and grandkids really enjoy working with the deer, and this has become a family project.
Miller said there are some specific regulations one has to follow, such as having eight-foot fences and maintaining specific records on each deer.
The process of getting certified to raise deer is done through the Minnesota Board of Animal Health, said Miller, who added the process was not that complicated.
Miller said the farm is still working through the entire certification process, adding the added certification allows them to ship the animals farther away.
"We have met a lot of super people through this whole process," Miller said, adding so many of them are very willing to offer advice and help to those who are just getting started.
"For the most part this is a very family oriented business," he said.
Even though there are some larger farms in the United States the majority of deer farms, including the five which are on record in Redwood County, are smaller family operations like the one Miller runs.
The deer are fed a special feed twice each day, said Miller, but he said he is spending a lot more time out in the pens with the deer.
"I just enjoy getting in with them and walking around," he said.
The current area includes fencing on about 10 acres, which includes specific areas set aside for the does and the bucks, with the doe fawns and buck fawns also kept separate from each other.
Fall is breeding time for the deer, which then give birth in May and June, and Miller said the majority of does give birth to twins.
Sometimes, he said triplets are even born.
One of the things Miller said he really enjoys is sitting in his kitchen looking out the west window and watching the deer.
"We are watching them grow up," he said. "That has been a lot of fun for us."
Some may argue the deer being raised at sites like Dear Deer Farm are just pets, but Miller emphasized the fact these deer are being raised as part of a business.
So, what does one do with the deer being raised.
Some are kept for breeding, while others are sold to a wide variety of other farms, including some who collect doe urine, which then is sold as deer scent for those who hunt.
Some deer are sold to other breeders who might want to add to their bloodlines. Of course, some of the bucks are sold as trophy animals, too. Naturally, there is a meat market for the deer, too. Miller currently has one buck, who he named Walking Tall, and that buck has already helped Miller see success. This past year Miller took the antlers from that buck and entered them into a contest. The antlers scored 200 and four-eighths points, which was good enough for second place.
Miller said as he pointed out this year's antlers he believes the score likely is going to be even better.
Miller said he takes pride in what he is doing, adding the animals are well cared for on the farm.
"We always want what is best for the animals," he said. "We obviously want them to be healthy. These deer are our pride and joy."
The deer must be checked regularly to ensure they do not have common deer diseases, such as chronic wasting disease or brucellosis.
Miller said there is concern on the part of the state in keeping those deer raised in captivity away from the wild deer population, and he said if a deer gets out of the pen and away from the farm those raising the deer have so long to find it before they need to let officials know it is loose.
Every deer has its own tag that helps those raising them to not only know them by name but also to know their genetics. Those tags stay with the deer as they go from one farm to another.
Miller expressed his appreciation to people like Dwayne Davis and others who have so willingly offered their experience to him.
Miller admitted he has had a lot of people stop by the farm, and he said that is great. However, he stressed the fact that these deer, like those in the wild are very skittish and can get stressed very easily around people and things they don't know.
All in all, Miller said he is glad he took on this new venture. He admitted he is having more fun working than he has in a while.

My favorite paper from the ISSCC processor session describes an adaptive clocking technique implemented in AMD's 28nm Steamroller core that compensates for power supply noise. Initial results show a 10-20% decrease in power consumption from reducing the voltage, with no loss in performance. This elegant technique is likely to be adopted across AMD's entire product line including GPUs, x86 CPUs, ARM-based CPUs, and other critical blocks in highly integrated SoCs.
AMD's Jaguar Microarchitecture
Jaguar is AMD's first 28nm processor, a compact 3.1mm2 design that targets 2-25W devices. It is a derivative of the earlier 40nm Bobcat, a fully out-of-order two issue design, with significant improvements in instruction set architecture and implementation. Some of the highlights include support for AVX, wider 128-bit datapaths, and a higher performance L2 cache. Jaguar is already shipping in several AMD SoCs targeted at tablets, notebooks, microservers, and desktops. However, it is far more prominent as the CPU powering the Sony Playstation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One.
Knights Landing Details
The 14nm Knights Landing leverages Intel's resources with a laser-like focus on HPC to deliver a massive improvement over the previous generation. The building block of this architecture is a pair of Silvermont-inspired CPUs with wide vector units and most importantly, a brand new cache hierarchy, on-die fabric, and system infrastructure that is shared with Skylake. This article is an in-depth analysis and prediction of the Knights Landing architecture.
Knights Landing CPU Speculation
Knights Landing is Intel's first clean sheet redesign of the Larrabee family, targeted at throughput computing and manufactured on a 14nm process with products expected in late 2014 or early 2015. The adoption of AVX3, on-package embedded DRAM, and bootable products have been disclosed, but most details are unknown. This article analyzes the options available for the Knights Landing CPU core and explains why Intel's existing cores are a poor fit for the target workloads, concluding that the most likely outcome is a new custom core for Knights Landing.
Silvermont, Intel's Low Power Architecture
Silvermont is Intel's first CPU core tailored for power efficient applications such as smartphones, tablets, and microservers. The 22nm microarchitecture features updated instruction set extensions, full out-of-order execution with a tightly coupled L2 cache, aggressive power management, and a new high performance SoC fabric. These enhancements deliver tremendous performance and frequency gains over the aging Atom core, putting Intel's mobile strategy in a more competitive position.
Microservers must Specialize to Survive
The server market is at a potential inflection point, with a new breed of ARM-based microserver vendors challenging the status quo, particularly for cloud computing. We survey 20 modern processors to understand the options for alternative architectures. To achieve disruptive performance, microserver vendors must deeply specialize in particular workloads. However, there is a trade-off between differentiation and market breadth. As the handful of microserver startups are culled to 1-2 viable vendors, only the companies which deliver compelling advantages to significant markets will survive.
Intel's Haswell CPU Microarchitecture
Intel's Haswell CPU is the first core optimized for 22nm and includes a huge number of innovations for developers and users. New instructions for transactional memory, bit-manipulation, full 256-bit integer SIMD and floating point multiply-accumulate are combined in a microarchitecture that essentially doubles computational throughput and cache bandwidth. Most importantly, the microarchitecture was designed for efficiency and extends Intel's offerings down to 10W tablets, while maintaining leadership for notebooks, desktops, servers and workstations.
Haswell Transactional Memory Alternatives
We previously theorized that Intel's TSX extensions in Haswell use the caches to provide transactional memory semantics. This article describes an alternative approach based on minimal changes to the CPU core, contrasts the advantages of the two techniques and discusses the expected implementation in Haswell.
Computational Efficiency for CPUs and GPUs in 2012
New compute efficiency data shows GPUs with a clear edge over CPUs, but the gap is narrowing as CPUs adopt wide vectors (e.g. AVX). Surprisingly, a throughput CPU is the most energy efficient processor, offering hope for future architectures. Our data also shows some advantages of AMD's Bulldozer, and the overhead associated with highly scalable server CPUs.
Sandy Bridge-EP Review
In our Sandy Bridge-EP and Romley platform review, we look at the performance and power efficiency gains for Intel's latest server microprocessor on industry standard benchmarks including SPECcpu2006 and SPECpower_ssj2008. The results are impressive, Sandy Bridge-EP is clearly the best x86 server processor on the market, and Romley will be the platform of choice for the next 2 years.

Hometown: Strangnas, Sweden.
Sponsors: Capita, DC, Union, Coal, Airblaster.
Jonas is an amazingly talented snowboarder, from linking turns to sending 1440s, he does everything with a trademarked style that is distinctly his and always inspiring. He's so stoked and so positive that you can't help but be psyched when you're around him-he could make cleaning toilets exciting. Sunny days, cloudy days, contest days, and powder days, he's the same-Jonas just wants to have fun.-E.L.
How did you make it to where you're at now?
I started when I was eight, and then around eleven I started to do some small contests like the Swedish Cup. I continued that until I was fourteen and started to realize, whoa this is pretty much the shit and I guess I'm going to keep going with this and see where it takes me-see how far I can go. So I just started having more fun and pushing myself more than I thought was possible sometimes, and just rode so much. Then I started this kind of snowboard high school where we could ride a couple of days in the week instead of being at school. I just loved it all, and all that was in my head was just snowboarding, snowboarding, snowboarding. Now I've been on the road for like two years, been doing some shows and competitions, been filming for a couple movies, and here we are.
Who influences you?
Everyone, from the youngest kid to the oldest man. If I see someone do something and I can tell he's doing it with a feeling that I want to feel, I try it, and then in some way I start to understand how he feels when he does it. When I see something that I want to do, I want to be able to do it first try and just get the right feeling. When I just see someone do something steezy that looks super nice I just want to be there where he is-I don't think I can get any closer than that.
What scares you?
Well if we're talking about snowboarding, of course being hurt-that would be the biggest nightmare in my life, ever. I can't imagine being hurt, because I'm just jumping around and running around all the time. I love skating, I love activities-I love to do stuff. To be stuck sitting at home, that would be like death. I just need to be able to move myself.
What's more important-contests or videos?
I want to do everything. I want to do a couple competitions, let's say three or four good ones each year, and then I want to film most of the year because that's so important and it's the most fun too. Filming is the biggest thing, but I want to do a little bit of everything and just mix it together like a milkshake with a bunch of fruit in it.
What direction do you think snowboarding is headed in?
The next level stuff, we're talking about double corks, twelves-you know that level. It's serious; you can tell with the skiers, they're jumping into water to practice their double flips and double corks. For me it doesn't really make … okay, sure, in one way it makes sense, but in another way it doesn't make any sense at all because it's losing itself a bit. Snowboarding is supposed to be grab your board, go out there, and have fun with your friends. But these double flips-you're not just having fun and doing some double corks; you're doing it for a competitive reason. So it's both cool and not cool.
Is snowboarding professionally what you thought it would be?
To be honest, yes, it's exactly how I thought it was going to be. But when you're a kid, you don't see all the work going into a shot, or getting a whole video part together. When you're a pro snowboarder people expect you're living your dream, which I think I am, but it's work too. You gotta be serious.
What's the "job" part of your job?
It's mostly shitty weather and knowing that you've gotta make the best of it. Your motivation is probably not on top when you're waking up and it's raining and it's like five degrees out. You just want to lay back, grab a coffee, watch a movie, and just chill for a bit. But then you go outt there and use your imagination to find spots, and when you're coming home the same afternoon you feel so damn good if you've found something.
What's next for you in snowboarding?
I'm not going for some ranking system or a list that I have to be on the top of. I'm going out there to have the best time of my life and promote my brands as hard as I can, and just enjoy myself. I just want to love snowboarding and show people that this is the shit. I want to show them that it's something so much more than just snowboarding. It's a whole world-it's a lifestyle.

University of Georgia: Police Investigate and Censor "Intolerance" in Residence Halls
October 10, 2011
The University of Georgia (UGA) apparently requires its Resident Assistants to call the police to address violations of UGA's "Acts of Intolerance" policy, which forbids jokes, posters, or comments that are "motivated by prejudice toward a person or group" because of various protected characteristics. The police come, investigate, and censor students under this policy. Between August 1 and September 27, 2010, eight police reports were filed for "acts of intolerance," including the words "Dick and Sideboob" written on the dry erase board of a student's door. The censorship and potential punishment of students for clearly protected speech in such cases […]» Read More
University of Georgia: Student Faces Charges for Complaint about Parking Services
September 10, 2010
On August 17, 2010, University of Georgia graduate student Jacob Lovell e-mailed UGA Parking Services with a joking complaint about what he perceived to be its poor job of providing parking for scooters. Parking Services reported his e-mail to UGA's judicial affairs office. On September 3, 2010, Associate Dean of Students Kimberly Ellis notified Lovell that the university had charged him with "disorderly conduct" and "disrupt[ing] parking services when he sent an email to them that was threatening." After FIRE wrote UGA President Michael F. Adams, explaining that Lovell's grievance was protected by the First Amendment and that administrators could […]» Read More

Trending: Conservatives, Christians Take Campus Battles to Court – And Win
August 11, 2014
By Jennifer Kabbany at The College Fix They've been ordered not to hand out copies of the U.S. Constitution. They've been denied promotions because of their faith. They've been forced to help pay for abortion-inducing birth control. They've been judged solely by the color of their skin. And they're fighting back. And they're winning. Conservative and Christian students and professors who have been denied free speech or faced discrimination and religious persecution because of their beliefs have recently enjoyed a string of courthouse victories in what's amounting to something of a banner year for such causes.

Ga. University Sued Over 'Speech Zones' That Limit Protests to One Percent of Campus
May 3, 2014
By Kellan Howell at The Washington Times A southern university is enforcing new rules that restrict students' free speech rights to an area that accounts for one percent of the campus. The University of Georgia (UGA) has designated two "speech zones" in two campus plazas, where students can freely protest without prior approval, any other demonstration must be approved by the administration 48 hours in advance, Campus Reform reported. The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is suing the university on behalf of the school's Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter, a student group that advocated libertarian policies.

'CBS Atlanta' Investigation of Georgia Regents Reveals Years of Mishandled Appeals
November 13, 2013
by Peter Bonilla CBS Atlanta's Jeff Chirico reports a disturbing story from Georgia: the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG), which has the authority to review appeals of employee terminations and student expulsions, may have been systematically shirking this duty for a decade or more. This is eyebrow-raising for several reasons, starting with USG's sheer size. The system consists of 31 public institutions, including major institutions like the University of Georgia (UGA) and Georgia Tech, enrolling more than 300,000 students. The system also includes tens of thousands of academic and non-academic staff; UGA alone employs 9,874. For students, faculty, and […]» Read More
Protecting speech on college campus
March 15, 2011
Should the University of Georgia be a campus where anyone – no matter how thin-skinned – can invoke disciplinary mechanisms for speech they find offensive? UGA's current anti-harassment provisions lack the precision the U.S. Supreme Court requires for the regulation of speech, "our most precious" freedom. UGA's policies are as flawed as the infamous University of Wisconsin and University of Michigan policies federal courts found to be unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. President Michael Adams' recent announcement that UGA's restrictive Non-Discrimination and Harassment Policy (NDAH) is being reviewed is a positive development. But last month's revelation that student affairs officials want […]» Read More
Student gets in trouble for e-mail on scooter parking
September 26, 2010
Put this in the "what-were-they-thinking" category. "They" are officials at the University of Georgia, who took exception to a mocking e-mail sent by a student complaining about the location of available parking for scooters on campus. As reported by FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, the school actually invites students to send positive and negative feedback to Parking Services, so student Jacob Lovell sent an e-mail Aug. 17 that said the following (note that I took out some language not allowed on the Post Web site): "Why isn't there any scooter parking near Aderhold, according to your parking […]» Read More

University of Georgia's Reaction to Student's Off-Campus Arrest Could Chill Speech
April 22, 2015
When students are accused of breaking the law while engaging in nonviolent off-campus expressive conduct, but not yet convicted, should colleges initiate disciplinary proceedings against them? FIRE doesn't think so, but evidently that's what students at the University of Georgia (UGA) can expect. On March 2, UGA student Adam Veale was arrested for blocking the steps of the rotunda outside of Atlanta's capitol building while participating in a protest for Medicaid reform. Weeks later, Veale was charged with violating UGA's Code of Conduct. Veale was offered an informal resolution, which would require him to admit guilt, but he chose to […]» Read More
University of Georgia Revises Policy on Freedom of Expression, Ending Student Lawsuit
March 12, 2015
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported last week, the University of Georgia (UGA) chapter of the student organization Young Americans for Liberty has settled its free speech lawsuit against UGA after the university revised its policy on free expression. UGA's previous Policy on Freedom of Expression established just two areas on campus for spontaneous student expression, requiring students gathering elsewhere to obtain a permit at least 48 hours in advance of their expressive activity.

University of Georgia's 'Awful History of Infringing Upon Speech'
September 30, 2011
In a well-written column for the student newspaper The Red and Black, University of Georgia (UGA) sophomore Jonathan Klein analyzes UGA's shortcomings in protecting students' right to freedom of expression, concluding that the university's free speech zones, in particular, are "incompatible with the First Amendment." Klein's piece is a reminder to UGA students and administrators alike that UGA must stop violating the First Amendment in both policy and practice.

When University of Georgia (UGA) student Jacob Lovell wrote a frustrated e-mail to the school's Parking Services about the lack of places on campus to park his scooter, he had no idea that his e-mail would lead to formal charges from the university for disruption and "conduct that causes or provokes a disturbance." Only after FIRE got involved did UGA back down from the charges, concluding there was insufficient evidence to justify them.

On August 17, 2010, University of Georgia graduate student Jacob Lovell e-mailed a complaint to UGA Parking Services concerning limited scooter parking. Although Parking Services specifically asks students for both "negative & positive" comments, Lovell spent nearly a month under the threat of punishment after submitting his complaint.» Read More
A Misguided Call for Censorship in University of Georgia Student Newspaper
November 16, 2010
At FIRE, we are very concerned about the increasingly large number of college students who believe it's OK or even commendable to censor certain forms of speech. This phenomenon is widespread enough that Greg coined a phrase for it: "unlearning liberty." Samantha Shelton, one such student who has apparently unlearned liberty, gives us yet another reason for concern in her column yesterday for the University of Georgia's independent newspaper The Red & Black. Shelton calls for censorship of "extremist Christian" groups like the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), a pro-life organization which recently erected a display on campus featuring pictures […]» Read More
Police Investigate Jokes about Human Anatomy on Whiteboards in University of Georgia Residence Halls
October 19, 2010
The speech police are out in full force in the dorms at the University of Georgia! On August 21, University of Georgia (UGA) police officer David Rocklein reports: I was dispatched to Boggs Hall in reference to an act of intolerance. I made contact with the complainant … who stated that while making rounds at 1900 hour she noticed that a bulletin board that was supposed to have "WELCOME TO BOGGS 3RD FLOOR" had been changed to "WELCOME TO BOOBS 3RD FLOOR." One day later, police officer Ty Vickery reports: [A resident assistant] took us up to room [REDACTED] of […]» Read More
Victory for Free Speech Nets Victory for Scooter Users at UGA
October 13, 2010
Here's a fun development after FIRE's victory on behalf of University of Georgia (UGA) student Jacob Lovell, who faced charges of "disorderly conduct" and "disruption" for e-mailing UGA Parking Services a complaint about campus scooter parking on campus. As the Athens Banner-Herald reports, Lovell was far from alone in registering his dissatisfaction with scooter parking, and UGA has finally listened. The Banner-Herald reports: Scooters will get more parking spaces, many of them conveniently placed near UGA buildings where students congregate, such as the Miller Learning Center and Snelling Hall, a UGA dining hall. Parking officials hope scooter riders like the […]» Read More
University of Georgia in the News After Trying to Punish Student for Parking Complaint
September 29, 2010
As one might expect with a case stemming from a complaint over parking accommodations that resulted in the threat of disciplinary charges for University of Georgia (UGA) student Jacob Lovell, much of the public's reaction to UGA's behavior has been along the lines of: really? As in, UGA really thought Lovell's e-mail constituted a threat? See Washington Post blogger Valerie Strauss, who opens with: Put this in the "what-were-they-thinking" category. And closes with: The case was closed. But why was it ever opened? Similarly, Becca Nadler, blogging for Saxaspeak (a blogging arm of the Georgetown University paper The Hoya) begins: […]» Read More
Victory in Georgia: Student Cleared of Charges for Complaint about Campus Parking
September 22, 2010
Today's press release tells the curious tale of University of Georgia (UGA) student Jacob Lovell, who wanted to find parking for his scooter when he drove to class. Not finding enough parking close enough to class, he e-mailed UGA Parking Services with his complaint about its service. His flippant and joking e-mail mused, "Did you guys just throw darts at a map to decide where to put scooter corrals?" and otherwise made fun of the department for what he perceived to be its poor job of providing parking for scooters. The response from Parking Services, in its entirety: "Your e-mail […]» Read More
Victory in Georgia: Student Cleared of Charges for Complaint about Campus Parking
September 22, 2010
ATLANTA, Sept. 22, 2010—The University of Georgia (UGA) has withdrawn charges of "disorderly conduct" and "disruption" filed against a student after he sent a mocking e-mail to UGA Parking Services to complain about the lack of parking spaces for scooters on campus. Although Parking Services specifically asks students for both "negative & positive" comments on its performance, student Jacob Lovell spent nearly a month under the threat of punishment after submitting his e-mail. UGA backed down after Lovell came to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help. "Jacob Lovell just wanted to park his scooter on campus, and […]» Read More
Weekly Media Round-Up: Quick Victory at Binghamton Keeps FIRE Looming Large
November 21, 2008
It's a good day when FIRE is able to declare victory in a nasty dispute before the waves of attention generated by our initial involvement have had time to settle. Such was the case with Binghamton University's (BU's) Department of Social Work, which dropped its investigation of graduate student Andre Massena within a day of FIRE exposing his egregious treatment at the hands of BU administrators. The Volokh Conspiracy, which picked up FIRE's press release detailing BU's appalling violations of Massena's constitutional rights within hours of its being issued, was equally quick to report FIRE's victory. Students for Academic Freedom […]» Read More
Citing University of Delaware Case, UGA Student Calls For Respect of Students' Rights in Dorm Life
November 19, 2008
University of Georgia (UGA) student Chris Chiego published an op-ed in today's edition of The Red and Black, UGA's student newspaper, describing a number of issues that have occurred within the university's residential life program. Recently, an entire floor of a dorm at the university was fined as a result of vandalism in a shared bathroom. As Chiego puts it, "Collective punishment should have gone out of fashion when we had to stay in for recess in fifth grade after one person decided to throw an apple across the lunchroom." Other problems are more serious, and include housing policies forbidding […]» Read More
University of Georgia's Broken Promises
July 2, 2008
(Brian Mink is a sophomore in International Affairs and History at the University of Georgia and a 2008 FIRE Summer Intern.) From a young age, we're taught the value of a promise. We're taught that acting the same way in private that we act in public constitutes integrity. We're taught that neglecting our duty damages our reputation, sometimes irrevocably. Administrators at the University of Georgia, no doubt, are well aware of these truisms; in fact, they've exerted no small amount of energy (or money) to preach them to students. One need only board a University bus to see what I […]» Read More
University of Georgia Violates Anonymity of Course Evaluations to Punish Offensive Speech, Then Violates FERPA
December 4, 2007
Last year, a University of Georgia student wrote disparaging (but not threatening) personal comments about his professor in his anonymous course evaluations both semesters. The professor examined the student's handwriting and identified him. The professor also notified the university, which brought in a handwriting expert to verify that the identified student was the writer of the evaluations. This fall, the student was punished and forced to apologize. I want to say no more about the student because his anonymity has already been violated—not just by the professor but also by the university, and then by the student newspaper. Indeed, […]» Read More
University of Georgia President Sends Students on All-Expenses-Paid Guilt Trip
December 14, 2006
David French, in a very revealing December 8 post that I had missed on Phi Beta Cons, brings to our attention an embarrassing tactic that administrators sometimes use to attack students who ask that their constitutional rights be respected: Within a day after the Christian Legal Society and the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit to protect the rights of a Christian fraternity at the University of Georgia, the school reversed course, recognized the fraternity, and pledged to study its policies. While this is all good news, and UGA's president, Michael Adams, should be commended for his quick action, he did […]» Read More
University of Georgia Settles Freedom of Association Case
December 8, 2006
This week, the Alliance Defense Fund and the Christian Legal Society filed a lawsuit against the University of Georgia for refusing to recognize a Christian fraternity because the fraternity would require members to share the group's Christian beliefs. Literally days after the lawsuit was filed, the university agreed to settle it by agreeing to recognize the group and to amend the non-discrimination policy to allow religious student groups to use belief-based criteria for membership. The denial of freedom of association to student groups is quickly becoming a disturbing trend. In recent years, FIRE has been forced intervene at Tufts University, Louisiana State […]» Read More
Newspaper Thievery at the University of Georgia
September 26, 2006
Last Thursday night vandals at the University of Georgia stole over 1200 copies of The Georgia GuardDawg, the campus conservative paper. A number of the distribution bins were reportedly vandalized with acrimonious remarks. Damage was assessed at about $700. The GuardDawg's latest issue included an interview with Ruth Malhotra, the plaintiff in a recently successful speech code litigation case against Georgia Tech. As David French notes on Phi Beta Cons, there is an appropriate irony in the fact that the vandals targeted an issue celebrating free speech. Incidents of newspaper theft are all too common on university campuses. FIRE has […]» Read More
Majority Love, Minority Rights
June 15, 2005
The Chronicle of Higher Education's June 17 issue contains an interesting article analyzing the Georgia public's continuing high regard for the University of Georgia, which "stands out as a blue island of Democrats in a Republican-red sea." While you should read the entire article, the critical point is summed up in the opening paragraphs: Georgia, on the whole, is a conservative place, its state capital dominated by Republicans who ran for office promising to cut taxes, rein in government spending, and uphold what they see as traditional family values. The University of Georgia, by contrast, has long had a reputation […]» Read More

Leasing Products
Fair Market Value
If you are worried about their equipment becoming obsolete this plan offers the most options. The customer can decide to upgrade purchase or return the equipment at the end of a 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60-month term.
$1 Purchase
If you want to to retain the equipment you are purchasing when the lease is up select the $1 purchase option and you will own your equipment for just $1.00 at the end of a 12, 24, 36, 48, 60-month term.
10% Buyout
If you want to retain the equipment you are purchasing when the lease is up then select the 10% purchase option and you will own your equipment for just 10% of the original purchase price at the end of a 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60-month term.
The Baker's Dozen
Choose a Baker's Dozen lease for smaller purchases; it is quick, easy to use and offers a great rate. Just take the total purchase price and divide it by 12 to calculate your monthly payments then add one additional payment on for interest. The equipment is yours to keep at the end of the 12-month period.
Benefits of Leasing
- Let your equipment pay for itself. Leasing provides you with the use of equipment for an agreed upon payment. You pay for equipment as it is being used to generate revenue rather than cash up front. This helps maximize the matching of income to investment.
- Avoid Technological Obsolescence. We take the risk if your equipment becomes devalued because of new technology. If you lease, you are not "stuck" with equipment that is no longer useful to you. Leasing also allows you to upgrade, trade-in, or add-on to your equipment during the lease term.
- Tax Advantages. Lease Payments may be fully deductible as a business expense. Leasing can also help you avoid Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) liability.
- Minimize Balance Sheet Liabilities. Lease payments may be eligible for "off-balance sheet" treatment, where items are treated as expenses rather than Assets and Liabilities, improving financial ratios.
- Finance "Soft Costs". You may be able to include some or all of the expenses associated with equipment use, such as shipping, installation, or maintenance, into the lease agreement.
- Preserve Lines of Credit. Leasing will not tie up valuable lines of credit you may need for expenses or to fuel growth and expansion.
- Flexible Payment Options. Leasing allows you to design payment structures to meet budgetary requirements or seasonal cash flows. Lease terms can range from 12 to 60 months with flexible renewal options.
- Flexible End-of-lease Options. At the end of your lease, you can purchase the equipment according to the predetermined purchase option, upgrade to new equipment, renew the lease at substantial savings.

Toronto (December 3, 2013)—Canadian women MBA grads are being short-changed by gender and geography, signaling important long-term consequences for corporate Canada. According to a new Catalyst report, high-potential Canadian women earn $8,167 less than men in their first post-MBA jobs, start out at a lower job level, and are offered fewer career-accelerating work experiences and international postings.
The report, High-Potential Employees in the Pipeline: Maximizing the Talent Pool in Canadian Organizations, is part of Catalyst's groundbreaking study of MBA grads from top business schools around the world. It reveals an important trend for Canada: high-potential women are twice as likely as men to choose a non-corporate job post-MBA, pursuing public and nonprofit sector opportunities instead. When compared to grads from other global regions, Canadian MBA grads of both genders are twice as likely to choose this path. Those who do go corporate receive fewer international assignments than their counterparts in Europe and Asia, with women receiving the fewest of these opportunities.
"Corporate Canada is losing high-potential women to non-corporate sectors at much higher rates than other regions in the world. Canadian companies competing in a globalized marketplace should take note and consider their recruiting, retention and talent development strategies," said Alex Johnston, Executive Director, Catalyst Canada. "Canadian businesses and the Canadian economy need to tap the full talent pool for smart talented people to strengthen our country's economic future and to stay competitive."
Key findings of the Catalyst report include:
Significant Gender Disparity in Pay, Position, Opportunities
High-potential women made $8,167 less than men in their first post-MBA job.
High-potential women were more likely to start their careers in an entry-level position (72 percent of women vs. 58 percent of men).
High-potential Canadian women received fewer high visibility projects and mission critical roles, or "hot jobs" that predict advancement when compared to men.
High-potential Canadian women and men received fewer international assignments than those in Europe and Asia; when made available to Canadians, men were significantly more likely than women to get them (29 percent men vs. 19 percent women).
Correspondingly, compared to high potentials in Europe and Asia, Canadians have a lower global business competency. And Canadian high-potential women were more likely than men to report having no knowledge of international product markets (23 percent of women vs. 9 percent of men), or international labor markets (21 percent of women vs. 9 percent of men).
Talent Drain to Non-Corporate Positions
Canadian high potentials were more than twice as likely as their counterparts in other regions of the world to choose a non-corporate path immediately following completion of their MBAs. And within Canada, women took this route more than twice as often as men.
For Canadians, the preference for non-corporate settings grows over time, from 11 percent at first post-MBA job to 15 percent at their current position in 2013. The rate of attrition from the corporate sector is much higher among women than men (29 percent women vs. 10 percent men).
"This report has important implications for corporate Canada, and in particular for talent managers, as it can be difficult to attract top talent back, once they enter the non-corporate sector," says Ms. Johnston. "Canadian organizations need to focus on attracting and retaining high-potential women and giving them opportunities to develop the global business competencies that are so important to strengthening Canada's economic performance."
High-Potential Employees in the Pipeline: Maximizing the Talent Pool in Canadian Organizations is part of a longitudinal study on high-potential talent who graduated from MBA programs at 26 leading business schools in Asia, Canada, Europe and the United States. Findings are based on data from 1,574 high-potential employees in Canada who were working in Canada when surveyed in 2007, 2010, 2011 or 2013; were born in Canada; are Canadian citizens; or who reported that they considered Canada "home."

Johannes.hansen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 21 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
We are a young startup in the travel industry. We provide a plattform for people who want to travel the world. Want to find the best beach in Australia for surfing? Need a cheap but clean hostel in Bangkok? Want to find the best sushi bar in Kyoto? Our community of travel enthusiasts can help and offer valuable advice.
Young people interested in exploring the whole world. Exotic countries, modern cities, great beaches, backpacking in Thailand etc. Most of the users will be students and young professionals. Only users with a Facebook account can use the site for asking questions and answering them.
For our given project (ruby on rails application for a community based q&a site) we need a web design. The structure is already there, we need you to create a nice design for it.
Althoug the site is in German, the contents should be pretty clear. Also, all the CSS classes in the divs carry meaningful english names, so the understanding of the structure should not be hard.
We actually really like the style of 99designs, so something similar in structure would be fine with us.
It is a Rails application and contains "flash notices" when you do something. Please do keep that in mind.
We have included the picture in the header. Feel free to use it,.
This is the homepage of the community.
The header contains a logo, a facebook login button (and when logged in a profile) and a google custom search box.
Then we have the main content, with some text, a list of recent questions, a list of recent tags and again text. The sidebar contains a facebook like box and the most often used tags.
And then the footer containing links.
Question Details Page:
This is the detail page of a sample question.
Header, footer and sidebar stay the same as on the homepage.
The content contains:
the question with social buttons (facebook share, retweet), user profile, datetime, question text, fb-like button and a list with tags for the question.
Then there is a list with answers (also with user profiles and datetime).
Then there is the form for creating an answer.
Then there are similar questions (with ads included).
And in the end the google custom search.
This is the site you should create the css for. Please use it a little to get familiar, it is really straightforward and not that complex. You will need a facebook account to creat a question or write an answer. We will delete it afterwards, do not worry. Currently, the page contains only dummy data for demo purposes.
Important: We use blueprint.css
This is a competitors site. We obviously dont want to look like that and we dont find it pretty, all the corners of buttons and boxes look cheap and the colors dont match well.
This site is rather similar to ours (althoug it is about coding). We like the look, especially the style of the tags (like buttons). Tags like these are very welcome :)

Hayward's Global Sales Team Builds Bikes For Charity
"Building Teams and Dreams" benefits WeGo Together for Kids

Email: email@example.com
ELIZABETH, NJ (February 6, 2014) At Hayward® Pool Products' recent global sales meeting in Itasca, Ill., a team-building exercise turned into a dream-building reality for 30 children. At the conclusion of the four-day event, Hayward's global sales team presented the WeGo Together for Kids organization with 30 bicycles that were actually built by Hayward's team of sales, marketing and tech service personnel from eight different countries.
Vice President of Hayward Sales Mike Massa said, "Team building always plays an important role in our sales meetings. But this may have been the first time where the exercise resulted in so much pure joy." He explained that as part of the team building activity, his team competed to "win" bicycle parts. These parts were then used to build 30 new bikes to be judged by their peers. Unbeknownst to the participants, though, the bikes were being built to be given to a group of children from the WeGo Together for Kids organization.
The surprise didn't end there. "It was a great moment when the unsuspecting children walked into the room and were told that the bikes that were just built were theirs to keep. I don't know who had bigger smiles on their faces, the kids or the Hayward team," Massa said. "We even had some tears of joy from many in the room. It was definitely a feel good moment for everybody."
Hayward has a long history of supporting community related causes benefiting children, including the "Safe Swimming Initiative" that assisted public swimming pools to comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.
About WeGo Together Kids
The mission of WeGo Together for Kids is to address the health, safety and well-being of students and families through a collaborative, coordinated and comprehensive approach for West Chicago schools and community.
