Putting the Linux Desktop Closer to the User
by Tom Adelstein
Using Innovation to Introduce the Desktop Challenger
October 18, 2004
The use of LiveCD's has helped many curious people discover Linux. One can simply place a LiveCD into a CD Rom drive, boot up their computers and watch the flexible Linux kernel run a complete operating system within memory. But, while this makes Linux available without having to install the distribution on a hard drive, it doesn't necessarily help a new user navigate around the system and/or understand Linux any better. New users could use a blueprint to go along with the LiveCD. Our product team has done that and in this article we tell you how and why.
The vast majority of Linux users once used Windows as their primary platform. In fact, I still have several old MCP certificates in a folder somewhere. And though I learned to use Linux quickly, it's easy to forget how difficult and challenging the changeover seemed in the beginning. Today, Linux is much easier to use. I'm so comfortable with it, I find it somewhat strange that people just don't change to it in droves.
When we wrote Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop my co-author and I wanted to create a portable Linux computing facility that lets a new user learn to navigate Linux in a easy way. Our vision included writing a book unique to any that had come before it and to provide a complete live operating system on a CD Rom. In other words, we wanted to create something you could take home, boot up and on which you could learn Linux, and/or Star Office, Open Office or any number of applications. We wanted it so portable one could use it without having to install it on his or her hard drive. If we could avoid the risk of disturbing an existing system that would give us an advantage over anything Microsoft ever offered.
We wanted to create a product that would compel people to give Linux a try in large numbers. If we put the book in the right hands, we knew we could attract people who had not stepped over the line and given Linux a try before.
For the average computer user, changing over to Linux presents a challenge. In a world where 93% of computers come with Windows built in, Linux might need some professional tweaking. Then again, it might install flawlessly. If a LiveCD works, then you know Linux will work on a machine.
Choosing a Linux Distribution
In December 2003, a colleague and I bought distributions of JDS 2003. In our separate computer labs we independently test Linux distributions. After numerous usability tests, we settled on JDS as a distribution we wanted to recommend for desktop clients. At LinuxWorld in New York, we received copies of the JDS LiveCD that used the Morphix Project. At that point we got the idea to create curriculum that would include a user manual with Sun's JDS LiveCD.
As a curriculum offering, we regarded the availability of a LiveCD as important as the distribution itself. Morphix allows anyone to build their own distribution using their kernel and components from the Debian project. At first, we thought of creating courses primarily for Openoffice.org's productivity suite. But, Sun's LiveCD gave us more options.
We wanted to introduce Linux, OpenOffice.org/Star Office, Mozilla, Evolution, Gaim and GIMP to users of Microsoft Windows. We felt if such users experienced these products, they would at least use the Windows versions and gain an appreciation of the added security and stability of open-source software. We also wanted to help open-source advocates by providing them with an inexpensive, tangible tool they could give to their friends and family.
We had some other considerations worth mentioning. Sun provided people who helped us get our jobs done. Other distributions provided little cooperation. We liked the JDS product and thought it provided the best face to users. We also felt the Sun brand gave Linux its most credible vendor with regard to new users.
Some people believe that Sun is tied to its own Solaris UNIX operating system and doesn't have a commitment to Linux. Sun's Java Desktop System runs on both Solaris and Linux. Sun has demonstrated its commitment by using Linux as its own corporate desktop and by continuing to develop JDS on the Linux platform. From our standpoint, JDS served our needs and at the end of the day it's still Linux. Coincidentally, JDS happens to have some superior engineering and that makes it a serious competitor to Microsoft.
Writing a Different Linux Book
The Linux community has many books from which to choose. In our analysis of the market, we did not find books that focused on the desktop. We saw the need for a Linux book that simply dealt with a user's core desktop requirements. Additionally, we began building a companion web site to provide support if people wanted to go deeper into the Linux experience.
My colleague, Sam Hiser specialized in Open Office and Star Office having worked on that project for two years. I specialized in Linux distributions, administration, usability and the core operating system. JDS included Star Office 7, Mozilla, Evolution and Instant Messaging. These were tools to which Sam related. Among other distributions, I had worked on the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server for two years on Intel, Power PC and Mainframe Platforms. We split up the material to meet our specialties.
To write a different Linux book, we needed a publisher that knew the Linux and open source market. A publisher whose very presence added credibility to the project. We also needed someone who could embrace our vision of reaching above the technically savy market line. We wanted to remain professional yet reach the market to which "Dummies" books appealed. But, neither of us wanted to become "Dummies" authors.
We needed a novice who could represent our audience and would say, "I don't understand what you just wrote. Or, what you just wrote didn't help me". We discovered such a person living in my house. My wife, Yvonne, helped us by taking the point of view of a nontechnical user who would interact with JDS.
She went from a computer newbie to a capable Linux user over the course of the project. In fact, she went from someone who had never seen Linux and could only use a browser, some word processing and email to a hands-on editor. She helped us better address the needs of readers coming fresh to Linux and kept us from straying into technical jargon. She was our proof of concept. Watching her progress with each lesson gave us confidence in our work.
Aside from reaching the right publisher, we knew we needed to work with an editor who could understand our vision. As it turned out, we found that editor in Andy Oram who not only embraced the project but worked with us like a hands on producer/director.
When in Doubt, Go to the Source
When we began writing our book, I also started monitoring the official Sun Java Desktop System Forum to find out what kind of issues people had with JDS and address them. Within a day or so, I noticed a shortage of Linux veterans. People were asking questions on the Forum but their questions would go unanswered. I realized other people were having the same problems because I would notice hundreds of views on those questions with no replies. So, I began to reply.
I soon discovered that lots of users indeed took Sun up on the proposition to switch from Windows to JDS. Many of those users came to JDS "cold turkey" and needed some hand holding. So I began to hold some hands.
Within weeks, more Linux veterans began to show up on the Forum and soon we had about a dozen active proxy moderators. We quickly learned of each other and began working in concert. We began discussing among ourselves existing support tools that a JDS Community needed. Some of the those tools included a database driven composite of Frequently Asked Questions, a Request Tract or trouble ticket tracking system, a repository of RPMS and patches similar to those maintained by communities such as the Fedora legacy project. We also needed to consolidate the resources from Sun into a more navigable format. We started building a web site but got sidetracked by people's time constraints.
That changed when JDS Release 2 came out. Existing users could upgrade for free, but they had to download a minimum of three 500 megabyte ISO images. JDS users discovered that they could burn CD's with JDS tools, but they didn't have a GUI to create a CD from ISO images.
The JDS Forum users seemed to cry out for help in getting their upgrades downloaded and burned to recordable CD Rom Disks. I decided to share a RPM of xcdroast I had built for myself. I offered it to the xcdroast project and they added it to their list of binaries.
I posted how people could install xcdroast and use it to burn their updated CD's for Release 2. That led to a discussion among the JDS veterans to put together a web site, consolidate the RPMS, scripts, and drivers people had collected. We also started collecting frequently asked questions (FAQs) and writing Howtos.
The companion site Sam and I envisioned at the start of our book project became JDSHelp.org. It's become the community site with a slant toward home users. The site contains a repository of popular software not available on the JDS distribution. We create our RPMS on running JDS systems. We also maintain a knowledge base, a library of Howtos, a news site and entertainment software including games from GCCLinux.com Participants in the community site come from all corners of the globe such as Norway, Argentina, Indonesia, Germany, Canada and numerous points in the US.
Members of the JDS community have embraced our project. In fact, when we needed technical reviewers for the book, we found them through the JDS Forum. Since the reviewers needed to have familiarity with JDS we knew of no where else to go. In many ways "Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop" has come from community involvement.
A recent post from the JDS Forum illustrates how much the community has contributed to our project:
I'm browsing your O' Reilly book on JDS (received yesterday from Amazon.com) as I write this. Great work!...
I found it interesting that the information used on page 368 mentioned above came from the Sun JDS Forum. Several users had similar issues and we helped fix and document those while providing a solution.
So, we see the the fulfillment of our vision coming from the community. Not just the JDS Community, but the Linux community. Whether this occurs because we wrote a book or because someone embraces the vision becomes irrelevant in the fullness of time. Eventually, as a community we decide if people get the opportunity to experience the joy of Linux.
Some Final Thoughts
Nine months after we committed to create a portable Linux computing facility that let a new user learn to navigate Linux easily, our project arrived at books stores around the world. We have an active community and expanded the content of the book to include an on-line knowledge base, a long list of JDS Howtos and a significant repository of freely downloaded software. I don't believe any of the people who participated in writing our book envisioned the scope of what we have finally accomplished. But, now most of us believe we have only scratched the surface of what's possible.
On September 10, 2004, James Grisanzio blogged an interesting comment about something I wrote in a Linux Journal article. Jim wrote:
[Tom]Adelstein articulates the need for good community relations and that the big vendors(Red Hat, Novell SuSE, IBM, HP, Sun) sometimes neglect that important task. From his conclusion:
So what do a couple of authors do to get their product known? Our conclusion became obvious. The open source community has provided places in which ideas are shared, discussed, argued and embraced. If we made correct assumptions, then we have accomplished our mission to have new users switch to the Linux Desktop.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Frenchman Richard Gasquet reached his first grand slam semi-final in six years with a 6-3 6-1 4-6 2-6 6-3 upset win over Spain's David Ferrer at the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
Playing in just the second grand slam quarter-final of his career, eighth-seeded Gasquet used his trademark backhand to near perfection as he closed out fourth-seed Ferrer in three hours and 23 minutes at Flushing Meadows.
"I thought he was a little bit nervous in the wind, so I played on that," said Gasquet. "I was a little bit tired but the last game was amazing for me. It's wonderful for me to be in the semis. It means a lot."
Gasquet will play either second-seed Rafa Nadal or 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo, both of Spain, for a place in Monday's final.

Fred's Inc. reported Thursday that an extra week helped its revenue for January, but results were more modest by comparison to the prior year on an adjusted basis.
The general merchandise retailer said that its total revenue for January increased 31 percent to $173.6 million compared with $132.4 million in the four-week period of the prior year. But after eliminating the week that ended Feb. 2 of 2013 to make the period comparable to the prior year, its total revenue increased 2 percent for January.
Fred's said that its revenue from stores open at least a year increased 28.6 percent for January but were flat on an adjusted basis. This is considered a key indicator of a retailer's financial performance as it strips away the impact of recently opened or closed stores.
CEO Bruce A. Efird said the company was pleased by improving sales momentum in January, driven by pharmacy and tobacco revenue, as well as programs to help increase the average amount customers decided to spend each visit. He said delays in early tax refunds slowed some sales but overall, management is pleased with the direction of the business.
The company is adding some new pharmacy services, expanding its auto and hardware product offerings and rolling out new concepts, including a smaller drug and dollar store. Efird said that there are significant opportunities to drive higher sales and profits in 2013.
Memphis-based Fred's operates 712 discount general merchandise stores.

A bill seeking to guarantee people with handgun-carry permits can store firearms in their vehicles no matter where they are parked is expected to be on the Senate floor early next week.
The chief Senate clerk told The Associated Press on Thursday that the measure is to be discussed Monday night. The House Civil Justice Subcommittee is scheduled to take the measure up on Wednesday.
The Senate proposal would not follow the model set by the state law that allows bar and restaurant owners to post firearms bans at their establishments. It also wouldn't exclude areas like schools, colleges and universities, which Republican Gov. Bill Haslam has called crucial to his acceptance of a final bill.
The business community has also voiced concerns about the measure.
Representatives from 88 theater companies in 30 states, Argentina and South Korea are in Memphis Friday, Feb. 8, through Monday, Feb. 11, for the 19th annual Unified Professional Theatre Auditions.
The auditions, which are expected to draw nearly 1,000 actors and technicians from across the country are at Playhouse on the Square and the Memphis Marriott hotel Downtown over the four-day gathering.
The UPTA is a conference that hosts the competition among professional actors and technical personnel.
Meanwhile, the gathering has changed the matinee schedule for current productions at Playhouse and at Circuit Playhouse for Sunday.
The performances of "The Mountaintop" and "Sunset Boulevard" will begin at 8 p.m. Sunday instead of 2 p.m.
MAA reported a fourth quarter net income of $22.3 million, as compared to $18.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net income results for the quarter ended Dec. 31 for the Memphis-based, apartment-only Real Estate Investment Trust included $3.2 million related to gains on the sale of one apartment community, while net income results for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011, included $7.9 million related to gains on the sale of one apartment community.
Net income for the year was $105.2 million, as compared to $48.8 million, in 2011. Net income results for the year ended Dec. 31, included $41.6 million related to gains on the sale of nine apartment communities, while net income results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, included $12.8 million related to gains on the sale of two apartment communities.
Funds from Operations (FFO) for the fourth quarter was $53.4 million, as compared to $43.1 million, for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the year, FFO was $196.3 million, compared to $155.5 million in 2011. FFO's fourth quarter and year-end performance per share both tallied record performances for the company.
MAA's physical occupancy for same-store portfolio in Q4 averaged 95.6 percent and average effective rents grew 4.8 percent over the same period in the prior year. Resident turnover remained historically low at 56.1 percent on a trailing 12-month basis.

Last year in this space, I wrote about going to a bookstore while on summer vacation in Vermont and wondering if I'd ever again buy a book. The book I bought was called "Eating the Dinosaur" by the essayist Chuck Klosterman. I thought then that perhaps it would be the last paper book I would ever read.
The thing was this: I had recently bought a Nexus 7 – a very handy and inexpensive Android tablet on which I believed I'd be doing most of my future reading.
One year later and another weeklong vacation behind me and I can report that I've only read one book on the Nexus, albeit a very long one – the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I have, however, read numerous print books that I've taken out from the library.
So, in one way "Eating the Dinosaur" may have been the last physical book I've bought, but it did not, as I guessed, end my lifetime habit of reading books in print.
Much of what I've read has not been all that interesting. And I must admit that, as a pretty busy guy with two young children, I don't get as much time to read as I'd like. It's tough to find the time to get involved in a full-blown narrative that takes more than 300 pages to complete. So much of what I like to read are essays and articles.
There have been two exceptions. Both are books I'd highly recommend.
The first was a book I used to teach a class on academic research at La Salle University: "Lethal Passage" by Erik Larson, a now 20-year-old look at America's gun culture that still rings true today. It's far from an anti-gun polemic, if that's what it sounds like. It looks very critically at the state of our gun laws and the gun industry, both of which have changed little since the book was written in 1992.
The second is one I began reading recently: "Five Skies," a novel by one of my favorite writers, Ron Carlson. The story is an account of three men trying to forget their pasts who are brought together to build a motorcycle ramp in the middle of an Idaho wilderness.
Both books were big hardcovers taken out of the library, carted around and read. It wasn't the most convenient way to read them, but I didn't even think about it.
There are still a few good reasons for reading in print, despite that e-books are so easy to get, though I suspect my reasons are a bit unusual, and they have nothing to do whatsoever with a nostalgia for the smell or feel of paper.
First, although I've migrated my music buying to digital without a shred of nostalgia for the CD, I can't bring myself to spend $10 or more on an e-book. Not sure why that is. It's way easier and less expensive to grab the book at a library. The three week borrowing period is also a good incentive to finish a book.
Second, I've been battling carpal tunnel syndrome for several years now, and – believe it or not – holding a tablet is not a good way to relieve pain and numbness in your wrists. In fact, it makes the whole condition worse. Here, and this is probably something you won't read anywhere else, paper books have an advantage: They're more ergonomic.
So as much as I love the convenience in theory of the electronic book that can be downloaded in seconds to a little book-sized reading device, there are still some good reasons – for me at least – to stick to the old, bound-paper model.

aspen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Whitehouse Lawns Inc.
My name is Ben Whitehouse and I am the company owner.
Here are a few of the company tag lines:
"Your lawn will look better than your neighbors'"
"Weeds gone forever, Guaranteed!"
"Lush Green Grass and weed-free lawns for all!"
Whitehouse Lawns is a landscape maintenance and lawn care company in Charlotte NC. I've been in business for 13 years and the company is well established.
The current website is http://www.whitehouselawns.com.
We are in a very competitive market and try to differentiate ourselves by doing above-average, high quality work; and on average we charge higher prices than our competitors. We are very passionate about the properties we care for and try to put heart and soul into our work.
We try to project professionalism at every point of contact and position ourselves as expert advisors partnering with homeowners to deliver the lawn and landscape they can be proud of.
Most of our customers have come from referral. We currently do not have a logo. We will be starting a few marketing campaigns and expect significant growth over the next year. We hope to be one of the major lawn and landscape companies in our market.
Our main target is affluent home owners with large estates. We currently have a small presence in most of the affluent neighborhoods and want a logo that will help stand out in these neighborhoods.
These homeowners usually are executives, business owners, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs. Many are involved in Charlotte's large banking industry (bank of america, wachovia/wells fargo, 5/third, etc)
We will be using the logo on shirts, trucks, marketing material, forms, etc.
Personally, I like the idea of going with the presidential/patriotic theme that goes with the name. However, I am open to your unique creative design.
Please include the name Whitehouse Lawns Inc. in the logo.
Our colors right now are (of course) red, white and blue. Again, I'm open to suggestions if that doesnt work with your design. I would like to be able to use the logo in black and white for some printing purposes.
I prefer a simple, unique, creative design symbol with the company name. Something that will be iconic and easy to recognize/remember.

I was playing the G&K Scenario: Conquest of the New World as Isabella (Spain)
Reached turn 100 as the dominant player, with 890-something score. Yet I am met with the defeat screen instead of a victory.
Clicking one more turn, I see that I actually won a time victory. Even got the two achievements for winning:
Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition - Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Isabella.
Siglo de Oro - Win the New World Scenario as Spain.
Both unlocked on Jul 8, 2014 3:53pm (just now)
Save attached, simply hit next turn to simultaneously win and lose.
Either it was not a legitimate win and then the achievements should not have been awarded, or I should have won straight up, without also being defeated for no reason.
No highscore entry in the Hall of fame.
Daniel "3ICE" Berezvai
p.s.: This is a fresh reinstall, no mods enabled, all settings reset, have all DLC except BNW and the two scrambled map packs.
Yes, the scenario specifically calls for 1000 points, which I failed to gather. I should have lost.
It's definitely a bug though. From the achievements side of it.
Even though I should've lost it.
- I won not only the game: Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition - Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Isabella
- But the scenario as well: Siglo de Oro - Win the New World Scenario as Spain
off topic: Same here, no scenarios before. I burned out on Civ 5 so I tried a few scenarios to see if they could rekindle my interest. It actually worked! Scenarios are neat. Custom tech tree and everything.
It was weird in the new world scenario:
Japan and China had borders, but without any cities to their name. They were not actual countries in the game, just passive placeholders for ship exploration triggers and to prevent border contention / growth between the European powers. I signed a defensive pact with both to get them into otherwise impossible wars, and even sold them open borders for their 25 starting gold :) (bug?)
I want to try gifting a city to them, see how they start to behave after that.
I look forward to the other scenarios now.

A local off-campus bookstore had Rom-law and I passed the first time they offered, yet returned and bought it a week later. The jury is still out; however, my reasoning was that It would seem to be helpful to have all of that information right there in class on my laptop, and for $40; hell, I spend that much on a bar tab. I'll post again as I realize it's potential or lack thereof.

MOCA and the ViBe Creative District in partnership with the City of Virginia Beach Office of Cultural Affairs welcomed internationally renowned artist, Maser, for an artist residency in July 2017. Maser created a large mural, titled Black Boot Spring Step Leather Waterproof Vail Women's People and Plants on the back of MOCA's building (that faces I-264 heading west), a sculptural installation across the street from the Virginia Beach Convention Center (forthcoming), and a Perfomring Arts stage in ViBe Park on Cypress Avenue between the Virginia Beach Library and Wareings Gym plaza.
Originally from Ireland, the artist began using the moniker 'Maser' in 1995 painting graffiti on the streets of Dublin. Maser's background in painting and graphic design strongly influences his work. His bold use of color, simplicity of form and geometric patterns has gained international notoriety. Walls, buildings and installations across Austria, France, Slovenia, Spain, the UK and soon in Virginia Beach, exalt Maser's relationship with color and abstract style.
Most recently, Maser opened his solo show Foreign Language at Graphic Studio Gallery in Dublin. This comes on the back of his show Orbiting on the Periphery at Lazarides Gallery in London (the gallery that famously represented Banksy), and a large installation at the Palais de Tokyo gallery in Paris.
MOCA and ViBe Creative District would like to thank the following supporters of Maser's residency:

It's August, and those lofty World Series aspirations the Dodgers and Angels had in spring training haven't diminished. If anything, they've only grown stronger.
When the Freeway Series renews — with two games at Chavez Ravine beginning tonight followed by two in Anaheim — it will be a measuring stick for the Dodgers and Angels. Can each team keep up with one of the best (by record, at least) in the other league? Do the Angels have the starting pitching to match arguably the National League's best rotation? Was the Dodgers' lack of activity at the trade deadline justified?
Here's a look at how the two teams stack up:
Angels >> Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton anchor one of baseball's most dangerous lineups. Good pitching can beat the Angels, but it doesn't happen often.
Dodgers >> Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez began July looking badly overpaid; both ended July on a hot streak. For now, that gives the Dodgers a chance to match the top of the Angels' lineup.
Angels >> They'll shift more than the Dodgers and, for the most part it, will work. Hank Conger is among the best pitch-framing catchers in baseball.
Dodgers >> Moving Yasiel Puig to center field and Kemp to right worked well for both parties, but Hanley Ramirez is still a major liability at shortstop.
Angels >> Ace Garrett Richards has always dominated NL teams (2-0, 0.95 ERA), while Wednesday starter Matt Shoemaker pitches his best against big-name opponents.
Dodgers >> If the Dodgers had acquired a starter at the trade deadline, Dan Haren might not be starting Wednesday. He's running out of time to get untracked.
Angels >> Anaheim relievers have a 1.56 ERA since the All-Star break, and Huston Street has taken naturally to the ninth inning. Comeback wins will be difficult.
Dodgers >> They've been hit or miss, but closer Kenley Jansen and set-up man J.P. Howell can turn any contest into a seven-inning game.
Angels >> Efren Navarro and Collin Cowgill hit well enough to start for many teams; neither will start (probably) with no DH at Dodger Stadium. John McDonald is a defensive whiz.
Dodgers >> Andre Ethier and Justin Turner hit well enough to start for many teams; neither will start (probably) with no DH at Dodger Stadium. Miguel Rojas is a defensive whiz.
Angels >> Mike Scioscia has spent more time in an Angel uniform than a Dodger uniform, but no one questions his ability to manage in an NL park. He's one of the smartest.
Dodgers >> Two games in Anaheim present the interesting question of who should DH. A better question: What will Don Mattingly do if Josh Beckett and Haren continue to struggle?

Brock's newest Canada Research Chair, Andrea Doucet, is an internationally recognized expert in caregiving and work-life balance.
Doucet, a professor in Sociology and Women's Studies, was announced today as Brock's 13th Canada Research Chair. The news was part of a national announcement identifying today's brightest research stars across the nation.
As Canada Research Chair in Gender, Work and Care, Doucet will address the challenges faced by modern families, including the inequalities still present in the way women and men are compensated for their work, and perceptions around how they care for their families. Her work will affect policy and community measures in Canada, and in other western countries.
Doucet comes to Brock from Carleton University, where she was a professor of sociology. She wrote the award-winning book Do Men Mother? and is the editor of the international academic journal Fathering. She is currently completing a book on bread-winning mothers and caregiving fathers.
"We are thrilled to have Professer Doucet joining our faculty," said Thomas Dunk, Dean of Social Sciences. "Her extensive research record and deep experience, along with her passion for her field, further bolsters our recognized educational and research strengths in social justice issues and community engagement."
Today's announcement, made by Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology), included 253 new or renewed Canada Research Chairs at 56 institutions across Canada, with a total award investment of $204 million. This federal investment attracts and retains some of the world's most accomplished and promising researchers, allowing Canadian institutions to strengthen their position as global research leaders in research and development.

Broomfield's collection of public art art is set to grow by three.
A sculpture of a playful otter, a piece depicting tall, waving ricegrass and an artistic street sign that asks viewers to make new friends all will be part of the city's permanent collection.
At its meeting Tuesday, City Council approved the purchase of three sculptures, which are currently part of Broomfield's Art For Awhile program. Art For Awhile invites artist to loan their work to Broomfield for a short time. The Broomfield Public Art Committee chooses the rotating sculptures, which are displayed for about a year.
In past years, Broomfield has sometimes decided to purchase several Art For Awhile pieces. This year, Broomfield will spend $27,850 to acquire and install the three new pieces. The funding comes from Broomfield's Capital Improvement budget, which sets aside 1 percent of its budget for public art uses.
So far, Broomfield has purchased 24 pieces for its permanent collection. That collection includes 10 benches, 13 sculptures and one mobile. The city started acquiring public art pieces in 2006.
The Public Art Committee said the new three sculptures, "River Otter" by Fred Lunger, "Indian Ricegrass" by Kevin Shaffer and "Stranger Reduction Zone" by Timothy Flood, fit well with the diverse tastes of Broomfield's art-appreciating public.
The piece by Flood, "Stranger Reduction Zone," is a replica of a traffic signal with an an unusual purpose. Passers-by are invited to press the traffic signal button on the sculpture. Instead of getting the signal to cross the street, the participants see a smiley face illuminate and they hear a voice that says "hello" in one of 12 languages.
"Stranger Reduction Zone," currently installed behind the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library as part of Art For Awhile, will stay near the library, because the piece fits with the library's public environment, said Fran Milner, a member of the Public Art Committee.
"It's just a fun piece, and kids really like it," she said.
During an October interview, when the piece was installed, Flood said the sculpture is meant to invite people to reach out to others in the community.
"I wanted to do something experimental and engage the audience," he said, pressing the button to hear "shalom," "konnichiwa" and "hola."
"Indian Ricegrass" by Shaffer is one of 11 sculptures he has created that mimic Colorado's native grasses. When it was installed for Broomfield's Art For Awhile program, it was placed behind the library. With its purchase, it will be moved to the sculpture trail at Broomfield County Commons.
Though his sculpture is made of steel, the breeze still makes its grass stalks sway organically in the wind.
"I have a deep appreciation for Colorado's native plants," he said in a October interview.
Fred Lunger's "River Otter" piece, a bronze sculpture of an otter in mid-swim, will be a fitting piece to place near one of Broomfield's ponds, reservoirs or other water-related areas, Milner said.
The Public Art Committee has not yet decided where the piece will find its permanent home, but Milner said the Broomfield Parks Department will help with its placement.

Reon Dawson clears the air.
I know this was discussed again yesterday as Mike McCray gave some comments on what Dawson said on signing day, but here are some direct quotes from Reon himself. At some point he has felt like he has let Michigan fans down by saying what he said, so sometimes it's important to realize they are just kids, and maybe he just mis-spoke.
(Free) http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1265370.html
"It was just a comment about being from the state of Ohio, not anything about Ohio State at all," Dawson stated. "Ohio State never even offered me a scholarship at all, so how could I be loyal to the school? What I meant was I'm proud of my state, and my family being from here, and I don't even know why I said that really. I was just happy to be headed to college and my family was so proud, that I never meant any reference to Ohio State."
"I feel terrible that some Michigan fans are mad at me, and I'm so grateful to the school for the opportunity they're giving me," he added. "I'm going to be a Michigan Man for life, and that's the next chapter of my life. I signed with Michigan because I loved everything about it and I switched from Illinois because of Coach (Brady) Hoke and his coaching staff."
"I can't wait to be apart of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, and I'm looking forward to beating them four straight years," he continued. "I talked to Mike McCray today about this, and he knows what I meant. We have been teammates here at Trotwood, and he was a big part of me going to Michigan, so he knows I'm a respectful person that never looks to say anything hurtful to anyone. I feel really bad how this came out, and I just want the Michigan fans to know I love being apart of Wolverine Nation and I'm going to do everything I can to make them proud of me."
Welcome aboard Reon, and Go Blue!

text: Southern Farmers: We Need Direct Payments May 14, 2013 04:21 AM Tweet Rice growers in the southern U.S. say direct payments are a safety net that's essential to their farming operations. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Tyne Morgan US Farm Report Host Email Farm bill discussions are heating up in Washington, D.C., this week. Some think the Senate version may leave the Ag Committee and enter the Senate floor as early as the end of this week. While both the Senate and House versions of the 2013 farm bill eliminate direct payments, cotton and rice farmers say they'd like to see it stay. "AgDay" National Reporter Tyne Morgan visited with rice growers last week who say direct payments are a safety net that's essential to their farming operations. The planting race is under way in Arkansas. Wheels are turning in the field, but frustrations are surfacing in the cab, as these farmers know direct payments could soon be a thing of the past. "It's really taken the safety net out of our cropping system," says Joe Mencer, farmer in Lake Village, Ark. "We farm cotton and rice here. Those are two real high-input crops. Without the direct payment, it's going to be hard to get financing for those crops. As the prospects of their safety net diminish, many farmers have been forced to change their cop plans. "I've cut my (cotton) production 1,500 acres this year," he says. "If we lose the direct payments, I probably won't grow cotton, unless they raise the target price to up around $.80." It's the same situation for rice, which is already a fairly small segment of U.S. production agriculture. This year, USDA estimates total U.S. rice planting at just over 2.6 million acres. That's down from 2.7 million in 2012. Arkansas remains the biggest rice producing state, but acres are on a downward slope and could drop even more if planting continues to be delayed. These farmers say it's more than just the cotton and rice crops that could suffer if direct payments are eliminated. "Rice is very labor intensive," says Eric Stevens, who farms in Dermott, Ark. "I have to hire extra labor to take care of it. So, I use that money, to put people to work, which in turn, takes money and puts it back into the local economy." Losing their safety net isn't the only thing impacting the decline of rice acres in this country. Outside markets are also coming into play. "The last month or so we've had a case where some rice mills are importing rice from Vietnam," says Mencer. "We're afraid we may be headed down the road with rice that the catfish industry faced several years ago." Many farm-raised catfish producers know the situation all too well. Increased imports at a cheaper price have forced many farmers out of business. USDA shows the number of catfish operations in the U.S. has steadily declined the past five years. In just one year, the number of operations dropped from 718 in 2012 to 624 in 2013. "If the cost of production of rice keeps rising with high fuel high fertilizer, these mills have to run," Mencer says. "And if they can't buy the rice here as cheap as they can import it into the U.S., our price will steadily decline." Mencer says the drought in Texas is also forcing acres out of production. Earlier this year the Lower Colorado River Authority announced it would cut off water to three major rice growing counties in Texas. Mencer says that's opening the door for even more rice imports into the U.S. To be proactive, Mencer has been switching to rice varieties that help him get a better price. "We're switching over to growing some aromatics, contracting growing for some rice mills down in Louisiana," he says. "It's our way of trying to compete with some of the imports coming into the U.S." Considering all of these elements, many Southern growers say they need a safety net, and simply don't want to see direct payments go away. Many growers have faced the inevitable. "Chances are slim that we'll get it back," says Mencer. "We accepted that year ago. We keep asking for it, but chances are it won't happen." Back to news

Google's in the Mood for Songza
Jul 2, 2014 1:40 PM PT
Google has acquired music-streaming service Songza, adding to its portfolio of streaming media properties.
Songza provides custom music playlists intended to match whatever situation listeners find themselves in, effectively providing a fitting soundtrack to their lives.
Users select playlists based on time of day, genre, current activity or ambiance. For instance, they might select a playlist to work to, featuring songs without lyrics, or they might choose a list of songs to boost their energy. Playlists typically are curated by Songza employees.
Songza also has a deal with the Weather Channel to help it tailor music based on weather conditions.
No Changes Planned
No immediate changes are planned for the service, according to Songza. It plans to update its terms of service and privacy policy to reflect the acquisition and continue to provide users with the same service.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed, but Google reportedly paid more than US$39 million for the deal. Songza did not respond to our request for further details.
Google has its own music-streaming platform with Google Play Music. The company intends to examine ways of adding Songza's core features to Google Play Music. It also plans to look at ways of taking the Songza experience to YouTube and other Google services.
'Music Sharing'
"I would argue this is more about music sharing than streaming and about improving the competitive position in music in general," Rob Enderle, principal at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "At their scale and power they should be more relevant, and this was done to help build that relevance."
The deal may allow Google to improve its music curation offerings on Google Play Music and YouTube, as well as on Songza itself. YouTube is rumored to be launching a streaming music service this year.
It's the latest front in tech companies' battle for quality content, intended to keep consumers using their services for as long as possible. Netflix, Yahoo, Amazon, and others have banked on premium video content featuring mainstream Hollywood stars and revivals of cult TV shows like Community and Arrested Development. Amazon also is planning a music-streaming service for Amazon Prime members.
Apple, meanwhile, acquired music-streaming service and headphone company Beats for US$3 billion. Beats also has curated music playlists, but it requires a subscription and Songza offers more customized playlists depending on context, with its service monetized by advertising.
Value of Content
"Content is the top of the value chain stack in terms of priority and revenue," said Jim McGregor, principal at Tirias Research.
"In addition, content and applications are the strongest tie to services. Songza buys Google another content option to add to its portfolio. I doubt that it will help displace the other vendors, especially the well-established music providers, but eventually bundling may provide an advantage," he told the E-Commerce Times.
"As we've seen from the success of social networks -- the idea that people will go where their friends are -- Google had a choice to buy or build. Given the lack of success for Google+ and Google Music -- actually both well built -- they have decided to buy this time," Enderle observed.
"The question will be whether they can grow or will break the service because the reason Google+ doesn't work isn't technical, it is behavioral, and this service needs that same expertise," he continued. "This acquisition will either help Google understand social, or more likely fail, because it is very hard for an acquired company to drive critical skills into a parent that doesn't have a critical mass of them."

Former Sen. Arlen Specter dead at 82
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter — who served as a Republican in the Senate from 1980 until he switched allegiance to the Democratic Party in 2009 and lost his primary the following year — died Sunday morning at the age of 82
His family said in a statement he passed away "at his home in Philadelphia, from complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma." Specter had been in poor health for a number of years; he was treated for Hodgkin's disease in 2005 and cancer in 2008.
Story Continued Below
"Arlen Specter was always a fighter," President Obama said in a statement Sunday. "From his days stamping out corruption as a prosecutor in Philadelphia to his three decades of service in the Senate, Arlen was fiercely independent – never putting party or ideology ahead of the people he was chosen to serve."
Specter was the longest-serving senator in Pennsylvania history. On the issues, Specter was a moderate who opposed most gun control, supported a woman's right to choose, voted to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and voted in favor of authorizing the Iraq War.
( PHOTOS: Arlen Specter 1930-2012)
One of Specter's biggest splashes on the political stage came in 1991, when he toughly questioned Anita Hill during the hearings on Clarence Thomas's appointment to the Supreme Court. Specter accused Hill of committing "flat-out perjury" as she testified that Thomas had sexually harassed her.
He also openly criticized the Republican Party in 1999 for impeaching President Bill Clinton in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and declared that his verdict was "not proven." And — at what would turn out to mark the beginning of the end of his long career — Specter again broke with his party in 2009 to vote in support of President Barack Obama's stimulus. Then he made the decision to permanently break with the Republican Party.
The Pennsylvania senator announced he would switch parties April 28, 2009, saying he felt the Republican Party had swung too far to the right. "I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans," Specter said in a statement.
( Also on POLITICO (2009): Specter: GOP moved far to the right)
"I am unwilling to have my 29-year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate. I have not represented the Republican Party. I have represented the people of Pennsylvania," he said. "I have decided to run for reelection in 2010 in the Democratic primary."
In 2010, Specter's political career came to its stunning end with a loss in the Democratic primary to Rep. Joe Sestak. Sestak attacked Specter for his Republican past and for switching parties "to save one job: His, not yours," as Sestak's campaign starkly put it in one ad. Sestak went on to lose to Republican Pat Toomey, who took over Specter's post Jan. 3, 2011.
"A man of sharp intelligence and dogged determination," Toomey said in a statement Sunday, "Sen. Specter dedicated his life to public service and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His impact on our state and public policy will not be forgotten. My wife Kris and I send our thoughts and prayers to Joan and the entire Specter family."

Specter was born in Wichita, Kan., on Feb. 12, 1930, to Harry and Lillie Specter. When Specter was 4 years old, his father — who emigrated from Ukraine — took his youngest son to meet the Wichita sheriff, who told the youngster he would make him a deputy sheriff. Harry Specter sent a photo of Arlen sporting the sheriff's badge to "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" and in 1934, a picture made it into the publication with the caption that Arlen was the youngest deputy sheriff in history, Specter wrote in his 2000 autobiography "A Passion for Truth."
