Last week, I went to Wolverhampton where I spoke at a local debate, organised by the university and Pat McFadden, the local MP, about the local authority's school. I was the warm-up act for Lord Adonis, former schools minister, setting the scene about the city's education system before his talk on lessons on school improvement.
It was interesting event – and the city is clearly considering its future and the role of education within it. There is – judging by my inbox – serious and deep interest in improving schools in the city. One of the things I sought to do was set out Wolvo's position in relation to the rest of the country – and what statistics about the city tell us.
Here is my presentation:

first post - i've read lots of threads on this and still confused: how to access virtual host names across a LAN using the server's ip or name?
I've upgraded to xampp 1.8.1 (was 1.7.7), control panel 3.1.0 on win 7 64 and have modified httpd-vhosts.conf and the hosts file to allow LAN access. works fine in that I can access the main xampp page across the LAN and my sites that are saved in c:\xampp\htdocs\...
I've wanted the document root for one site to be at the top of its folder (c:\xampp\htdocs\home\site1) to simplify my php paths (e.g $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) when uploading this to an online server. So I've also added a virtual host name for the folder as such:
- Code: Select all
NameVirtualHost *:80
# other stuff....
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/home/site1.local"
ServerName site1.local
ServerAlias www.site1.local
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/home/site1.local">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes execCGI
#xampp 1.7.7 format:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#xampp 1.8.1 format add:
Require all granted
And in hosts added:
- Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 site1.local
This all works well when accessing site1 on the same machine as xampp: e.g., http://site1.local -> loads fine.
BUT it fails when i try and access it across the LAN from other machines, e.g: 192.168.1.66/site1.local/ -> 404.
and while 192.168.1.66/home/site1.local/index.php loads, it breaks my 'includes' as the document root is now C:/xampp/htdocs (not C:/xampp/htdocs/home/site1.local).
I have checked httpd.conf where is set to 'Listen 80' and have tried 'Listen *:80' with no luck - i guess xampp is listening to all requests.
I've read various threads about modifying host files on each LAN machine but don't want to (there are macs, adroids,...) and am happy to type in the ip or network name. And I just don't understand why this doesn't work.
Can someone explain this for me, and preferably how to fix it.

On this day in Mets history, outfielder Cleon Jones from Plateau, Alabama, was signed by scout Julian Morgan in 1962.
Jones made his major league debut in 1965, but won the starting centerfielder job out of spring training in 1966 and finished fourth in the Rookie of the Year voting.
Jones developed into a star in 1969, and was hitting .341 with 10 homers and 56 RBI and was named the starting left fielder in the All-Star Game.
According to several accounts, the turning point of the Miracle Mets' season came several weeks later when manager Gil Hodges walked out to left field to pull Jones after failing to hustle.
Forty years later, Jones said Hodges was his favorite manager, and recalled the incident as a pivotal moment in that season. J0nes will always be remembered for catching Davey Johnson's fly to left for the final out of the 1969 World Series.
Jones was inducted into the Mets' Hall of Fame in 1991.

When it comes to pension reform in Illinois, the state Supreme Court might have the final say.
But could it be campaign contributions that have the most influence?
Under pension reform passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn last month, annual cost-of-living increases for retirees were reduced, and the retirement age for workers 45 and younger was raised.
Lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the reform were promised. Retired teachers in Illinois delivered, filing suit late last month. Now, the legal showdown begins, and it's likely the issue will end up in front of the Illinois Supreme Court.
Waiting for everyone in the Supreme Court chambers are six of seven justices who have collected nearly $3 million in campaign contributions during the past 13 years from groups that support both sides of the issue, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Labor unions, business groups and a political fund operated by House Speaker Michael Madigan have given money to Illinois Supreme Court justices.
It appears Justice Bob Thomas is the only one to not accept money from a group who has interest in pension reform legislation. Thomas Kilbride has accepted the most.
All of this, of course, is in addition to all the money the same groups have given to the lawmakers themselves. To think money had no influence on how pension reform was crafted and passed or on the amount of time it took would be considered naive, at best.
Because of campaign contribution laws, money has too much influence on policy. At least that perception exists. And now that perception has seeped into the Illinois Supreme Court chambers.
"Even the most honorable justice has to acknowledge this looks bad. It puts them in a bad light," David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, told the Sun-Times.
Of course, if Illinois Supreme Court justices weren't required to seek voter approval to keep their jobs – as is the case with their federal counterparts – they'd have no reason to accept campaign donations, and such perceptions wouldn't exist.
Did we mention that the Judges Retirement System was the only one of five pension accounts carved out of the bill? It was. Madigan said that was done to eliminate the possibility of conflict when lawsuits were filed and the court system got involved.
We agree with state Rep. Dan Brady, R-Bloomington, and his assessment regarding conflict of interest.
"If it's a conflict for judges to be in the pension bill," Brady said, "then it's a conflict they're taking money from the groups they'll make rulings about."
Of course, the same holds true for lawmakers.

Dwight Moody (1837-1899) was a famous and extremely successful Christian evangelist. He also believed strongly in the power of education, founding the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies in 1879 in Northfield, Massachusetts, and the Mount Hermon School for boys in 1881. Himself from a poor family, Moody was determined that no student should be turned away from the schools he founded simply because they could not afford to pay. In addition to a deliberately low tuition, Moody insisted on intensive study of the Bible and a student work program that helped keep the schools' costs down. Moody wished to instill habits of hard work in his students and believed in combining a vigorous outdoor life with study. This is a postcard of Seminary Farm at Northfield. The youthful driver has hitched his young team of oxen to a cart laden with playmates and a pet.

RIM Sheds More Flesh in Long, Hard March to BB10
Jun 20, 2012 2:45 PM PT
Research In Motion is issuing pink slips as part of a massive cost-cutting effort that could save the company US$1 billion in expenses.
RIM is laying workers off in small batches, starting with the quality control, operations and parts departments, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The company is also looking to cut costs by restructuring its supply chain. Earlier in the week, electronics supplier Celestica announced that over the next six months it will wind down its BlackBerry device manufacturing services.
RIM warned in May that it expected a loss in its next quarterly earnings report and acknowledged layoffs would be coming. RIM said it will reveal more details about the cuts when the it releases its quarterly finance reports on June 28. The company cut about 2,000 jobs almost a year ago. As of March, RIM had a workforce of about 16,500.
"Our financial target is to drive at least $1 billion in savings by the end of fiscal 2013, and headcount reductions are part of this initiative," a RIM spokesperson told the E-Commerce Times in a statement provided by Nick Manning, manager of global corporate communications at RIM. "RIM has reduced some positions as part of this program and may continue to do so as the company methodically works through a review of the business."
Neck Deep
The Canadian company's BlackBerry devices were once leaders in the smartphone industry, especially for enterprise customers. But when Google and Apple jumped into the smartphone market with their Android and iPhone devices, the BlackBerry struggled.
RIM now only holds about 10 percent of the global smartphone market, and a recent report from IDC estimates that the company will fall to about 6 percent of the worldwide smartphone operating system market share for 2012.
In addition to last year's layoffs, a response to continued disappointing financial results, the company has seen top executives leave the company lately, including its chief legal officer and head of global sales.
"They're doing the right thing by trying to lay some people off and streamline the business," Barry Richards, analyst at Paradigm Capital, told the E-Commerce Times. "They've had the same group of people in there for years, and it's turned out that those may not be the right people. It could be the best thing to cut down."
Counting Down to 10
Meanwhile, the company continues its long and difficult march toward the release of its planned BlackBerry 10 operating system and the devices that will accompany it. The upcoming smartphone platform is expected to be better equipped for entertainment and Web browsing, and it will apparently feature an app experience similar to the more popular smartphones on the market. But the revamped BlackBerry OS' debut has already experienced delays.
"It's supposed to hit by the end of this year, but we don't even know that," said Richards. "We could be waiting around for a product that we don't even know that much about."
When the product makes its foray into the smartphone market, the company will have a better idea of how much restructuring is needed at RIM.
"It's too early to say at this point what kind of product it's going to be," he said. "Until we know that, we're not going to know if it's too little, too late. All we're seeing now with RIM is a ton of question marks, question marks and more question marks."

Northwest artists Lenae Day and Kelly Björk are opening their new show tonight (Nov 1), at the Corridor Gallery in Seattle, with the ultra charming title Space Blanket / Space Cadet. For the show, Day spent a month in Florida studying the lives of astronauts' wives to create a body of work that combines short stories with re-created photographs, playing every model herself. Björk makes large, energetic pieces that combine her love for contour drawings with still life portraiture and the colorful patterns in the blankets we covet. The show sounds like a ton of fun. If you're in the Seattle area, you should check it out! The reception will have live readings by Day, but if you can't make it, the show will be up through the first of December. Here's the PR:
"Inspired by the people around her and the devices they use to soothe themselves, Kelly Bjork's drawings depict weightless humans, surrounded by blankets and floating in comfort. When creating these pieces, Bjork had her subjects lounge on her couch for hours, each with their blanket of choice. Color is used to highlight the geometric shapes in the blankets, creating a colorful, abstract cloud in which her subjects lay.
Lenae Day re-stages old images from magazines by playing all of the characters herself and making most of her costumes and props. The images and stories in this show deal with the Mercury Seven Astronaut's Wives, the Mercury Thirteen (women pilots who went through astronaut testing, but were not allowed to participate in the space program) and herself somewhere in-between. These works are a part of the forthcoming edition of "DAY MAGAZINE," her third magazine produced in this fashion that will be released with a subsequent West Coast tour in 2013." ( via )

Miracle for Megan
I first met Megan Miceli when she was 6 months old. She was a beautiful little girl with blond hair and blue eyes and an infectious smile that reached from ear to ear. But when her parents noticed that Megan wasn't hitting milestones at the rate her siblings had, they grew concerned and brought her to Kennedy Krieger.
With weekly physical therapy sessions and her mother diligently working with Megan at home, she slowly began making strides in her motor skills. In the meantime, an extensive medical workup revealed she had hypotonia and a gene microdeletion, which was the root of her medical problems. The gene deletion is so rare that there have only been six reported cases since 2009. In addition she was also recently diagnosed with episodic hemiplegia, another disorder that affects 1 in 1 million people. Without warning, Megan can experience an attack of paralysis on the left side of her body multiple times per week, each lasting between 5 and 20 minutes.

Jawbone's UP24 Makes Its Way to Android
Mar 11, 2014 9:10 PM PT
After initially launching to an iOS-only audience late last year, Jawbone's UP24 wireless fitness tracker on Tuesday finally arrived for Android.
With the UP24 wristband and accompanying app, users can wirelessly sync sleep, movement and diet data to the app via Bluetooth Smart.
"Now with the launch of UP24 on Android, our entire community can enjoy the benefits in real time, with continuous feedback and in-the-moment notifications to help them achieve their goals," said Travis Bogard, vice president of product management and strategy for Jawbone.
Android users already have been active participants in the UP community, Bogard added.
Priced at US$149.99, the UP24 wristband features a hypoallergenic, medical-grade rubber exterior with a textural design. It is available in onyx or persimmon. The new UP by Jawbone 3.0 app for Android is now available in 12 languages as a free download on Google Play.
'Idle Alerts'
The UP system tracks users' movement and sleep in the background while the app displays key data; users can add data such as meals and mood. Using the system, they can track sleep and physical activity; log food and drink to track nutritional information; and set goals, with suggestions from UP.
Smart Alarm and Power Nap features can wake users at an optimal time, while Idle Alerts can be set to remind users to keep moving. Users of the app also can team up with friends for encouragement and friendly competition. In addition, the app can deliver notifications of accomplishments and milestones.
Languages the app supports include English, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese/Brazilian, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The UP24 wristband's battery lasts seven days.
'There's More Investment Required'
While it may seem like a significant drawback to have arrived on Android so late, Jawbone's tardy appearance actually isn't all that striking, Ross Rubin, a principal analyst with Reticle Research, told LinuxInsider.
In fact, another companion app for a wearable device that lagged on Android was version 2.0 of the Pebble app, Rubin pointed out.
While the Android market is clearly bigger, there is also "a much broader range of devices to support," he explained. "Some support Bluetooth 4.0, some don't, and there's a whole range of screen sizes."
In short, "there's more investment required in QA to optimize the appearance for screen sizes, resolutions and capabilities," Rubin said.
'Still in the Early Adopter Stage'
The delay may not be significant, Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst with Tirias Research, told LinuxInsider.
"While I think launching on the Android platform would have been optimal, it was important to introduce UP as soon as possible and then add additional support and features as quickly as possible before the market becomes too crowded or -- worse -- dominated by a few players," McGregor explained.
"We are still in the early adopter stage," he added. "As the technology, usage models and business models around wearables evolves, so will the devices. Eventually a few key players will emerge as the industry leaders, and Jawbone is in as good a position as anyone else as long as the UP platform continues to evolve."
'Novelty Items'
It may be, however, that "launching without Android support is a huge minus for any wearable device, unless the feature set, connectivity and server-side support is limited," Steve Blum, president of Tellus Venture Associates, told LinuxInsider.
"That's a good description of the Jawbone UP24," he noted. "It's a simple product that's attractively designed, but it doesn't do anything particularly innovative."
So far, wearables like the UP24 or Fitbit "are novelty items, not must-have accessories for serious fitness enthusiasts or breakthrough lifestyle products for average consumers," Blum pointed out.
Of course, "it's early days," he added. "Soon enough, someone will find the right combination of smartphone connectivity and features, server-side processing, and wearable sensors -- and create a product that makes life more enjoyable and productive, with less effort and greater convenience. That's what the iPhone did after years of proto-smartphone products that didn't exactly fail but remained in the niche category."
'Solved by a Cowboy Developer'
Toward that end, "you need the flexibility and developer support that the Android platform provides, including its easy integration with Linux server-side development," Blum said.
"The problem will be solved by a cowboy developer, not someone living between the lines of Apple's store policies," he added. "That's why Google is coming out with a wearable SDK -- and why not putting Android at the top of wearable product development priorities is a mistake."
That said, "the UP24 will perform nicely as a novelty item," Blum concluded, "but my prediction is that 95 percent of units sold will be languishing in dressing table drawers within a month."

Update: Users are reporting download issues with Draw Something and compatibility. Your mileage may vary.
Nokia had originally offered Draw Something recently to Lumia owners but the game was quickly pulled for what seemed like connection errors. Now that game and its companion, Words with Friends, have both returned to the Nokia Collection.
Interestingly, both games are completely free though these do have ads to cover their costs. That differs from the games we covered here last night, which will run you $2.99 to play but do not have ads.
Both games are available now and will work on Windows Phone 7 and 8 devices. You can download Words with Friends here and Draw Something here in the Nokia Collection. QR codes after the break…

In Mid-September Austin Hall '10 went where few have gone before: the Ellen Show. Personally invited by comedian host Ellen DeGeneres, he performed his YouTube hit (with nearly 4 million views), Daft Hands.
Daft Hands is a remarkable work starring Hall's hands gyrating to the song Harder Better Faster Stronger by electronic group Daft Punk. (You may have heard this song sampled in Kanye West's summer hit Stronger.) Hall's smooth moves have spawned hundreds of copycat videos--most notably, one featuring a hapless dog with puppet-strings attached to paws.
Hall tells Shout how he came up with the idea, how long he had to practice, and what it was like being on the Ellen show:
The original Daft Hands, in its entirety:
Hall reprised his performance on the Ellen show:
This is the Carleton Knights' a capella rendition of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger that got the song running through Hall's mind:

Palo is considered to be one of the most historical towns of Leyte. It is well-known as the site of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's return to the Philippines together with Philippine and American military forces after a period of exile in 1944. Hill 522, a hill located near the town center, was the site of fierce fighting between Allied and Japanese forces during the Second World War. The metropolitan cathedral of the archdiocese, located right across Palo's municipal hall, was used as a hospital for wounded Filipino and American forces. A memorial now stands at the beach site where MacArthur and his troops landed, locally known as the MacArthur's Park. The first Gabaldon Building is also situated in Brgy. San Joaquin Palo, Leyte. It was inaugurated by President Sergio Osmena.- Wikipedia
The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.Annnnd to really get you buying your plane tickets...the sunset over Borocay White Beach!Text by Steve Smith.

75 yrs ago
Week 43 - Oct 19-25
My mother, Eileen KINNICK (maiden name), kept a diary from 1932 until her death in 1999. In Feb 2005, I created a website of her 1936 diary, the year she graduated from high school, and started dating my dad later in the year. The transcription, week by week, with commentary, notable items, and my comments are sitting there to view, unchanged (a few bad links and all!). . You are welcome to click on the Weekly Index, and go back to read the first half of the year, at your leisure.
My comments - in red
Commentary at the time - in green
Notable items - in blue
Setting: The family lived in a farmhouse a couple of miles out of town (Coon Rapids, Iowa). Older brother, Leo, lived at home; his girl friend, later wife, Ida, visited regularly. Younger brother, Buzzy (she often wrote Bussy) was 8 years old; see photo.
Week 43. Another business and cold week as she continued to work at the Maytag store each day.
I noticed this was two Mondays in a row she "Caught chickens/roasters" - a regular meal fare, for sure.
Being inside more, she was reading more, novel as well keeping up with her lessons, which she could do at work - between customers… ;-) The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I picked up an interesting note, recently, that happened this week - and she was interested in college football as noted back in August: Oct 19, 1936: The first Associated Press college football poll was started - 75 years ago.
On Sunday, the family had the noon meal with Everett and Gertrude (Kinnick) Brideson. Gertrude was a sister of Paul Kinnick, aunt to Eileen. Here is a photo from their wedding.
Comments welcomed!
Families are Forever! ;-)

Arkansas ranches devastated by drought will not only have to rebuild herds, but also the very pastures on which those cattle feed.
"The 2012 drought caused significant pasture damage and virtually all the clover died," said John Jennings, professor-forage, for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. "Renovating pastures by replanting legumes will improve pasture quality and livestock production."
Improving pastures will be the focus of a conference Feb. 19 at the Durand Center, 303 N. Main, Harrison, Ark., on the center campus of North Arkansas College. The conference begins at 5 p.m. with registration. Dinner and the program begin at 5:50 p.m.
Conference registration is $10 per person and includes dinner and conference materials. All persons interested in forages are invited to attend. Pre-registration is not required, but calling in by Feb.15 will help with planning meals and materials. For more information on the conference or to pre-register, contact your county Extension office or call (501) 671-2171.
The conference will feature current Arkansas research on options for establishing legumes. In some cases pastures may need to be converted to other forages.
"Native warm season grasses such as bluestem and switchgrass may be an option if used properly," Jennings said.
The featured speaker, Dr. Gary Bates, University of Tennessee Extension Forage Specialist, will discuss preparing fields for clover replanting and will sort out facts and myths about using native warm season grasses for forage.
"Dr. Bates was instrumental in development of Alfagraze alfalfa and he has done extensive work on native warm season grasses in Tennessee," Jennings said.
Other topics on the conference include up-to-date Arkansas research on use of no-till vs. broadcast planting, effect of grazing before and after clover seeding, planting clover and alfalfa in bermudagrass for stocker calves, and strip-seeding clover to establish stands in difficult pastures.
For more information about livestock production, visit www.uaex.edu, contact your county Extension office, or visit the Arkansas Livestock blog at www.arkansas-livestock.com.

Hall Napa Valley Merlot 2007
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Hall Wines is located in Napa Valley and employs organic small-vine viticulture, precision winemaking, wild-yeast fermentation and micro-block blending to fully extract the purity and quintessence of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Their estate vineyards encompass more than 300 acres of classic Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The Halls have a strong respect for the environment and a commitment to cutting edge technology to yield the highest quality grapes. Through meticulous attention to detail in the vineyards, Hall wines are able to express the unique and diverse character of Napa Valley's soils and climate.
One of the world's most highly regarded regions for wine production as well as tourism, the Napa Valley was responsible for bringing worldwide recognition to California winemaking. In the 1960s, a few key wine families settled the area and hedged their bets on the valley's world-class winemaking potential—and they were right.
The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980s, when producers scooped up vineyard lands and planted vines throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, and today Napa is home to hundreds of producers ranging from boutique to corporate. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux blends. Napa whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that claim specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil. Farthest south and coolest from the influence of the San Pablo Bay is Carneros, followed by Coombsville to its northeast and then Yountville, Oakville and Rutherford. Above those are the warm St. Helena and the valley's newest and hottest AVA, Calistoga. These areas follow the valley floor and are known generally for creating rich, dense, complex and smooth reds with good aging potential. The mountain sub appellations, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs, include Stags Leap District, Atlas Peak, Chiles Valley (farther east), Howell Mountain, Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain District and Diamond Mountain District. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from a lot of time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
An easy-going red variety with generous fruit and a supple texture, Merlot's subtle tannins make it perfect for early drinking and allow it to pair with a wide range of foods. But the grape also has enough stuffing to make serious, world-renowned wines. One simply needs to look to Bordeaux to understand Merlot's status as a noble variety. On the region's Right Bank, in St. Emilion and Pomerol, it dominates in blends with Cabernet Franc. On the Left Bank in the Medoc, it plays a supporting role to (and helps soften) Cabernet Sauvignon—in both cases resulting in some of the longest-lived and highest-quality wines in the world. They are often emulated elsewhere in Bordeaux-style blends, particularly in California's Napa Valley, where Merlot also frequently shines on its own.
In the Glass
Merlot is known for its soft, silky texture and approachable flavors of ripe plum, red and black cherry and raspberry. In a cool climate, you may find earthier notes alongside dried herbs, tobacco and tar, while Merlot from warmer regions is generally more straightforward and fruit-focused.
Perfect Pairings
Lamb with Merlot is an ideal match—the sweetness of the meat picks up on the sweet fruit flavors of the wine to create a harmonious balance. Merlot's gentle tannins allow for a hint of spice and its medium weight and bright acidity permit the possibilities of simple pizza or pasta with red sauce—overall, an extremely versatile food wine.
Sommelier Secret
Since the release of the 2004 film Sideways, Merlot's repuation has taken a big hit, and more than a decade later has yet to fully recover, though it is on its way. What many viewers didn't realize was that as much as Miles derided the variety, the prized wine of his collection—a 1961 Château Cheval Blanc—is made from a blend of Merlot with Cabernet Franc.

This post is as much for my reference as anything. On the last two Dell computers that I've unpacked (both running Vista), I get an Internet Explorer pop up window after startup. The title of the window is "Google Toolbar". The contents just say: "page cannot be displayed" (or possibly "cannot display webpage"). There is no close button on the window — you can hit Alt-F4 to close the window, but the people I'm setting the computers up for don't know that. So, they're just stuck with a window on the screen that won't go away, they can't close and comes back after every startup.
Instructions to fix this can be found here and are listed below for your convenience:
1. Launch the Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
3. Look for a key labeled ECenter. It should have "C:\Dell\E-Center
\EULALauncher.exe" in the data field
4. Delete this key
5. Restart your computer
I also created a .reg file that will do this. You should be able to download the file and execute it to delete the appropriate registry value. I BARELY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING SO USE THIS FILE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Download the file here.
I hope this helps someone (and me in the future when I run into the problem again).

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police.
Lt. Andrew Tainsh reported he was checking out a burglar alarm that went off around 11:50 p.m. on Warwick Avenue on Nov. 21 when he saw a pickup truck make a wide turn onto Warwick Avenue north at Hoxsie Four Corners before accelerating to a high rate of speed. Tainsh said he followed the car and clocked it at 53 in a 35 miles per hour zone and weaved form side to side and over the center lines. He said he activated his lights and siren, stopped the truck near Community Road. He said he noticed that the driver appeared to be intoxicated and smelled strongly of alcohol. He said he asked the man to take a field sobriety test and stopped it after the man said he couldn't do it and had difficulty keeping his balance. Joseph T. Flynn, 39, of 699 Church Ave. was taken to headquarters where he refused to take a breath test. He was charged with speeding, laned roadway violations, refusal and DUI and later released to a sober adult.
Sgt. John Choquette reported an accident on Long Street around 11:40 p.m. on Nov. 20. He said he arrived to find a Jeep Cherokee with all its windows smashed except for the windshield sitting across both lanes. He said the utility pole was completely split in two at the base and was hanging by the wires. He said there was a man standing beside the Jeep and he asked him if he was the driver and he said he was, and that he was OK and did not need Rescue. He said the man smelled of alcohol and appeared to be drunk. He said the driver failed a field sobriety test administered by Officer Damian Andrews. Andrews reported that Rescue arrived at that point and said that, due to the severity of the damage to the car, the driver had to be taken to the hospital for examination. Andrews said he followed the ambulance and read the driver his rights at Rhode Island Hospital. He said the driver refused to answer any more questions and refused to sign any paperwork. Andrews reported that the suspect, Franco Marraffino, 36, of 626 Greenville Ave. in Johnston assaulted a nurse and had to be secured to a gurney.He was charged with DUI and refusal and left in the care of the hospital staff. He was charged with DUI and refusal.
Officer John Curley reported he stopped a car on Post Road after watching it proceed south while wandering over the lanes at a slow rate of speed around 2:10 a.m. on Nov. 17. He said the driver appeared to be intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. He said he stopped the field sobriety test before it was complete out of concern for the driver's safety after he almost fell several times. The driver was taken to headquarters where he said the driver was very uncooperative and actually urinated on the floor all over the cellblock. He said he continued to urinate as he was being led into his cell. Curley said Richard G. Spicuzza, 52, of 7 Starling Way in West Warwick was charged with refusal and DUI and later transported to Kent Hospital for detox.
Officer Russell Brown reported he was dispatched to the area of Post Road in Apponaug around 4 a.m. on Nov. 17 for a possible drunk driver who was swerving all over the road with a flat tire and riding on its rim. He said he caught up with the suspect at West Shore Road near Oakland Beach Avenue and stopped it. He said the driver appeared to be drunk and smelled strongly of alcohol. He said the driver failed a field sobriety test and was taken to headquarters where he registered a .187 and a .192 blood alcohol content on the breath test. Kalen Ramie, 24, of 82 Cobb St. in Norton, Mass., was charged with laned roadway violations and DUI and later released on $1,000 personal recognizance.
Police were dispatched to the Pachsea Restaurant at 2914 for a larceny report. The owner of the restaurant said he came to work around 11 a.m. on Nov. 23 and found the door to the storage shed had been broken open. He said a large quantity of shrimp, sea scallops, chicken, veal and various luncheon meats were missing. The owner suspected that it happened sometime between Nov. 21 and that morning but had no idea who could have taken the food. He told police the food was worth between $600 and $700. No witnesses.
Police were dispatched to Whitin Avenue on Nov. 18 for a housebreak. The owner of the house said she had not lived in the house for about a year but had called for the utilities to be turned on Nov. 15 and was informed by a service provider that all the copper pipes were missing from the basement. She said she opened the house a couple of days before and found a broken glass door but did not think to check the basement until the utility company told her about the pipes. Detectives were called to check the scene for evidence.
A Fairfax Village resident called police on Nov. 19 to report that he came back to his 2008 Honda Accord in the parking lot of the apartment complex and found his car propped up on cinder blocks and all the wheels were missing. The car's interior was locked and there was nothing else missing from the car. The owner estimated them at $650. No suspects or witnesses.

You could be owed a £2,500 tax refund for your travel expenses. Bases outside the UK are included, and you might also be able to claim for Mess Dress.
This is a complex claim and we've heard reports of some claims being rejected when submitted by inexperienced advisors. For that reason we would like to refer you to our expert partners who have obtained confirmation on the validity of claims both from HMRC and the MOD so you can have peace of mind that your refund is yours to keep when you receive it.
If you complete the form below our partners will be in touch shortly about your free without obligation assessment.
Have you completed Phase 1 Training?
Have you been posted to a base for 2 years or less? (Excluding tours)

Each tax year will be recalculated if you enter a claim. This often identifies other overpayments due to incorrect tax codes, multiple employments, ceasing of job, etc. In these cases we can identify a much larger tax rebate. We regularly identify rebates of over £1,000 for customers who were originally estimated a lower amount.
If you claim now you will receive tax relief for the current tax year and future years that allowances continue to apply, paid through your monthly pay. The value of this is usually £{{ App.CustomerClaim.AnnualRefund }} per year.
You don't need to make any upfront payment to us in order for us to check if you are due a rebate.
We will ensure that your current year reliefs are correct and that your future year allowances are adjusted in line with the current year to ensure you are no longer being overtaxed. There will be no charge for this service.
The annual saving of £{{ App.CustomerClaim.AnnualRefund }} per year for the current and future years will not be subject to charge. You will receive this automatically in your pay once your tax code has been adjusted.
We will also check the earlier years to determine if you can claim back any previously overpaid tax. HMRC will pay any rebate due directly to us and we will forward payment to you, in due course, net of our deductions of 28%, plus VAT, where due, providing the net refund payment is £20 or more.
We will issue your refund through our Uniform Benefits payment card which you can withdraw cash on at a cashpoint or spend in shops or online like a normal debit card. If you use your card at selected retailers you can also earn additional cashback to continue to spend.
Are you currently married or in a civil partnership?
Have you paid subscriptions to any of the following?
Thanks for showing an interest in claiming your tax rebate.
We have passed your details to our partner, TaxBack.com
You could have overpaid tax by £{{ App.CustomerClaim.EstimatedClaim }} if the tax relief you listed was not claimed on your earlier returns.
As you are already within self assessment we would like to send you details of a highly competitive self assessment service from one of our expert partners. They can correct omissions in your earlier tax returns and ensure your annual returns are submitted on time every year, saving you a lot of stress and making sure you only pay the tax you need to.
Going forward the correct allowances applied to each annual return could save you £{{ App.CustomerClaim.AnnualRefund }} per year.

A solar energy 'farm' covering the size of five football pitches has been commissioned by car manufacturer BMW in order to power its MINI plant at Oxford.
The photovoltaic system, made up of over 11,500 solar panels, can generate over 3 megawatts per year and the installation will create enough electricity to power the equivalent of 850 households. Solar energy will help to run the plant's bodyshop, where 1,000 robots operate to build the new MINI hatchback.
However, while BMW has been harvesting sunlight, many of the company's workers are still in the dark when it comes to claiming money back for washing their work clothes at home on a regular basis. The time it takes to launder uniforms and items of protective clothing can add up to many hours of additional, unpaid labour, but if you are employed by BMW and you wash your work wear at home, there's some good news: you may be due a tax refund from HMRC.
Workers across the country are currently missing out on the opportunity to claim, and this is particularly true of staff employed by major companies such as BMW. HMRC's definition of a "uniform" is any item of clothing that you could not reasonably be expected to wear out in the street, in your own time. That includes clothes with a workplace logo sewn in, high visibility jackets or special safety shoes. It is estimated that several millions of pounds in unclaimed tax relief may be owed to employees who are washing their own workplace clothing and although thousands have already made successful claims, many more are unaware that they may be eligible.
HMRC has set a standard amount to reflect the costs involved, and workers can claim the tax on this sum back, plus some interest in respect of earlier years. Similarly, workers who use their own tools for work purposes, or who purchase their own tools to use at work, can claim a rebate.
How to claim: You can use the handy online calculator below to enter your details and make a claim within five minutes.
Whether you work for BMW, Ford, Nissan or any UK-based car manufacturer you should consider making a claim. It's estimated that two out of three workers who wear a uniform at work are entitled to a tax rebate, so don't miss out on money that is rightfully yours.

Just over 8.5 billion recyclable cans were sold in California last year. The number redeemed for a nickel under California's recycling law: 8.3 billion.
That's a return rate of nearly 100%.
That kind of success isn't just impressive, it's unbelievable. But the recycling rate for certain plastic containers was even higher: 104%.
California's generous recycling redemption program has led to rampant fraud. Crafty entrepreneurs are driving semi-trailers full of cans from Nevada or Arizona, which don't have deposit laws, across the border and transforming their cargo into truckfuls of nickels. In addition, recyclers inside the state are claiming redemptions for the same containers several times over, or for containers that never existed.
The illicit trade is draining the state's $1.1-billion recycling fund. Government officials recently estimated the fraud at $40 million a year, and an industry expert said it could exceed $200 million. It's one reason the strapped fund paid out $100 million more in expenses last year than it took in from deposits and other sources.

Re: Problem with Delete of words
First I have to say congratulations on Vi Emu. It is a fantastic product and has made my life in Visual Studio so much easier. Worth every penny of it's purchase price
I do have a bug to report though. I often use the keystrokes "daw", "diw", "caw" "ciw" to delete and change words. These work fine in Vi Emu in their single version but don't work if I add a count before them.
For example in a line such as:
"Remove a Class Summary item from the collection"
I would like to to be able to put the cursor on the word "Class" and type 3caw to delete the words "Class", "Summary" and "item" and put me in insert mode ready to type the new text. When I try this in Vi Emu it simply deletes the space between "Class" and "Summary" leaving me with
"Remove a ClassSummary item from the collection"
Not a big deal I know but it's frustrating especially when I am flipping backwards and forewards between VS and VIM.
If you could look into it for a future release I would be very grateful
Many thanks,

South Yorkshire Life on Mars star Dean Andrews will be jumping in the saddle to raise money for a national children's charity in October.
Andrews will be joining hundreds of cyclists as they take on the The Wiggle Rut, a cycling sportive around the iconic landlocked county of Rutland in aid of children's charity Caudwell Children.
The Rotherham born actor has been a partner of the charity for the past year, helping them fundraise to provide practical and emotional support to families living with disabled children.
A keen sportsman, he will be joining hundreds of cyclists as they take on the popular sportive event which takes in the scenic countryside surrounding Rutland and neighbouring counties.
The actor, also known for his role as Robbie in the BBC's 'Last Tango in Halifax', is a cycling enthusiast and is relishing the challenge of taking on the ride:
"Cycling plays a huge part in my life, I love taking my bike out and experiencing the thrill of riding. Being able to do this in support of an amazing charity like Caudwell Children is a fantastic opportunity.
"The charity work hard to do amazing things for families in real need, so it's a pleasure to work with them and do what I can to help young people living with disabilities."
The Wiggle Rut is part of a series of events throughout the UK run by cycling sportive providers Kilo to Go in association with leading online retailer Wiggle.
Kilo to Go have selected Caudwell Children as their charity of the year and believe attracting celebrities such as Dean Andrews will be a great benefit in raising money for the charity.
Simon Thomson, director at Kilo to Go, said: "The Wiggle Rut is a key date on the cycling calendar and a truly unique ride. The route takes riders through a number of counties surrounding Rutland, and challenges riders with the notorious Launde Abbey Hill climb.
"Having an actor like Dean Andrews riding really helps raise the profile of the event and Caudwell Children. As our charity partners we are doing all we can to help them raise money for families in need and having DS Ray Carling in the saddle can only be a positive."
The Wiggle Rut takes place on Saturday October 25th starting at Uppingham School Sports Centre, Leicester Road, Uppingham, Rutland.
For more information on The Wiggle Rut or to register for your place in the event, visit www.kilotogo.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01782600435.

Hello Forum!
I am spam new to this software and I am having problems. I have attempted to set up a direct connection between a couple of computers. I have downloaded the manual from here http://www.bevingtontechnologies.com/ww ... bystep.doc
I have followed step by step and attempted to create my server. When I press the 'create server' button I get the error "failed to Set dynalias" I press 'ok'. Then it says "failed to find external IP address". I hit 'ok' and then enter in my ip address that I have gotten from whatismyip.com. I then answer the user does not need to enter in a password and press 'ok' when it gives me the command line syntax box. I then overwrite the existing text document helpdesk.txt under %remote\server_res. with a new one.
Under %remote\connections test.phw is created. However I do not see anything under "my servers".
At thsi point if I press "start" in the lower right hand corner it just says "bind failed"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

JewelsP needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
We need a branding logo for a network/forum we are launching on Ning, to be based on the current blog logo and design at http://www.FreeLineReport.com. The new logo will be for this related forum (hosted on Ning) called the "FreeLine VIP Club."
A winning logo will have similar color scheme, look, and feel to http://www.FreeLineReport.com logo/site, only it will make use of the text "FreeLine VIP Club." This site is for Web 2.0 Internet marketers and online entrepreneurs interested in learning about social & new media marketing.
FreeLine VIP Club
The FreeLine VIP Club is an exclusive membership forum offering social and new media marketing training to our monthly subscribers—most of whom are full or part-time Internet marketers, online entrepreneurs, and in some cases even off-line business owners looking to learn more about how to harness the power of the Web 2.0 media landscape for marketing purposes.
The paid membership club forum will reside on a private Ning network (soon to be launched at http://www.FreeLineVIP.com) and will be an up-sell from the free Web 2.0 news content offered on its sister site, http://www.FreeLineReport.com.
We want this new logo to be a revision of the current logo over at http://www.FreeLineReport.com (though with no tagline) and it should reflect a variation on the color scheme, look, feel, and theme there.
** The "FreeLine" Concept as it used over on the free news source blog at FreeLineReport.com (and please keep this in mind when designing the VIP Club logo): The FreeLine is based on the concept of "Moving the FreeLine"—the idea that you can grow your business faster and more effectively by giving away more up front. Today is the age of short attention spans where interruption ads bombard us every waking minute. Not only is the news at FreeLineReport.com free to our audience, but the Web 2.0 sites, tools, and applications we discuss will assist any online business owner in moving his/her own FreeLine.
* Important Note on Above: The "FreeLine VIP Club" will be the PAID version, which includes more in-depth monthly trainings and video tutorials on social and new media marketing sites and tools. The VIP Club is the more exclusive up-sell.
We will ultimately need a header graphic for this Ning site, so whomever wins this contest will perhaps be asked if we can pay him/her extra to handle that. Not required though.
- Must use the words: "FreeLine VIP Club" in the logo.
- Good color scheme, similar to http://www.FreeLineReport.com blog colors and the current logo there.
- Should have a graphical element in addition to the text.
- Needs to provide space to later incorporate a tagline. (But should be able to stand alone -- no tagline needed now.)
- Logo should translate well into a small icon
- Fit with Web 2.0, as this logo will be used on the web, in print, and on computer screen projections.
- Logo (or two versions) that work both on white as well as a color background (specify a solid color or gradient that works).
- Logo should reflect the exclusivity of the FreeLine VIP Club, our mission (to teach other business owners how to market online using Web 2.0 social and new media sites and technology), and the cutting-edged strategies we teach.
- Needs to fit with the mentality of those we work with ie: Internet marketers, web entrepreneurs, social media enthusiasts.
- Logo should give people the sense that our membership club will help them to more forward in their business or other online marketing efforts.
- Clean with visual impact.
- Something unique (no copies), and full legal rights on the design that chosen to win.
- We reserve the right to end the contest prior to completion if no suitable design is provided.
- Delivered in AI and EPS format.
- Something that doesn't look unique or represent something similar to the current logo over at FreeLineReport.com.
- No clip art.
- Nothing cutey, swirly or flowery.

In her Opinion page column Wednesday, Morrison mayoral candidate Sarah Thorndike discussed the importance of communicating with the public.
"Communication, or the lack thereof, lies at the heart of much of the bad rep now 'enjoyed' by Morrison's city government. Communication is one of the things I do best," the city alderwoman wrote. "Often, legal liabilities preclude commenting on certain aspects, but that should be stated upfront, with information released as soon as practically possible."
In January 2011, she had stood with all other members of the City Council in keeping under wraps the city's settlement with General Electric over industrial pollution caused by the company's former manufacturing operation in town. Aldermen said at the time that they were following the advice of their then-attorney, Lester Weinstine.
But the council's secrecy violated the state's Freedom of Information Act.
"All settlement agreements entered into by or on behalf of a public body are public records subject to inspection and copying by the public, provided that information exempt from disclosure under Section 7 of this Act may be redacted," the law states.
In other words, the city had no choice – legally – but to release the settlement agreement.
We sent a request for that settlement in December 2010 and never got a response from the city. So we started calling council members.
One by one, they told us they could not tell us anything. When asked whether the public should be in the loop on something that could involve their health, those aldermen deferred to their lawyer – the one who wouldn't answer our calls. When we asked them about the provision in the Freedom of Information Act, they told us to speak with their attorney.
One of those council members was Thorndike.
Three other aldermen whose terms expire this year are Guy Hayenga, Pat Zuidema and David Rose. All three, who had no objections to the secrecy, decided not to seek re-election. Alderwoman Marti Wood, another mayoral candidate, didn't join the council until after the dispute over the GE settlement.
In a Jan. 5, 2011, interview, Thorndike told us that she "would like to have the people know [about the settlement], but the attorneys are telling us not to."
She said the agreement had a nondisclosure clause, adding that she "reluctantly" understood the need for confidentiality sometimes.
We took the matter to the Illinois attorney general, who handles appeals in public records disputes. In late January, the attorney general decided to investigate.
On Valentine's Day 2011, an assistant attorney general placed calls to the city clerk and the city's attorney. Later that day, the city released the documents.
Attorney Weinstine said before a council meeting that day that the city had been "legally forced" to produce the agreement.
The pact required that General Electric submit a detailed work plan for the cleanup of the pollution, among other things. That work was to include groundwater and soil testing.
The agreement also stated that General Electric was to pay the city $650,000 – information that the city had already revealed (it's hard to hide that kind of money).
To be sure, the agreement did include a standard confidentiality clause. While such secrecy language can prevent disclosure of settlement terms among private litigants, it does not apply to public bodies in Illinois. In fact, the Morrison-GE settlement even stated that the parties recognized that the city was subject to requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
Asked Wednesday about the city's handling of the public records request, Thorndike said the City Council had to follow its attorney's advice.
"We have a city attorney for a reason," she said.
To be fair to Thorndike, her reaction is not unusual among people in government offices. Last year, when then-Lee County State's Attorney Henry Dixon kept transcripts from wind farm hearings secret, not one of the 28 Lee County Board members publicly questioned that decision, despite residents' objections.
We shouldn't expect our elected representatives to be legal scholars. Mistakes are understandable.
But my hope is that our leaders' first instinct is open government. And sometimes that requires questioning the advice of their attorneys.
