A Billion Dollar Reason Why Linux Works
Money is not what makes the Linux Planet go around, but it sure doesn't hurt. This past week the Linux Plant celebrated its first billion dollar company as Red Hat reported its fiscal 2012 results. While the Red Hat milestone is significant, work continued on the mainline kernel and at rival distribution Ubuntu.
1. Red Hat's Billion
Open Source and Linux software is all about being free, as in the freedom to do what you want with software. Linux does not mean that you can't make money though; just ask Red Hat. The Linux leader reported its fiscal 2012 results with revenues coming in at $1.13 billion. Red Hat is the first pure play open source or Linux vendor to generate a billion dollars in a year.
Red Hat's revenues come from a strong showing for its Linux solutions across multiple market verticals, notably financial services and government. The company has also been successful at growing its JBoss middleware business as well, which has also been a strong contributor to Red Hat's bottom line.
Red Hat has also been growing its revenues by converting free Linux users to paying users that see value in a Red Hat subscription. Red Hat's flagship release Red Hat Enterprise Linux is sold on a subscription basis and competes against free rival including clones like CentOS.
While Red Hat's revenues are generated by its strong sales force and partner sales channel, they have not strayed from their open source roots. Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst hailed the billion-dollar milestone as a victory for open source advocates everywhere.
"Our fight has always been about something greater than just access to software code," Whitehurst stated. "The open source movement is rooted in shared values about knowledge; it is founded on ideas that are both ordinary and revolutionary. As members of this community, we elevate transparency over secrecy."
2. Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2
Currently,Red Hat does not have any public rival that is anywhere near the billion-dollar revenue milestone. That said, Ubuntu Linux is trying to gain share and is revving up the final development milestones for the upcoming Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin 1enterprise release.
The second beta for Ubuntu 12.04 was released last week, marking the final beta release for the platform. Full general availability for Ubuntu 12.04 is currently set for April 26, 2012.
3. Linux 3.4 RC 1
At the heart of Red Hat's billion-dollar empire and at the core Ubuntu's Pangolin too, is the Linux kernel.
This past week, the first release candidate for the third Linux kernel of 2012 was released. The first Linux 3.4 kernel release candidate followed the final release of Linux 3.3 by only 13 days.

Edwin01 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
We are 2 engineers with a sense of humor and some free cycles. We suck at UI work. This is a side project we thought people would enjoy as much as we do. It can be simply fun or could be used to keep a live pulse on a product.
Tweeters, folks with a sense of humor / pretty much open to anyone who knows about Twitter
The app automatically converts tweets matching a users search to audio using text to speech in the style of a radio broadcast. Looking for creative ideas to enforce the radio metaphor while supporting the core functionality of converting searched tweets to audio.
So we've done some brainstorming on ideas and we really haven't had anything good come out of it.
Components that are needed are :
1: search
2: stations
3: 4 125 x 125 ads
So the Radio tower was an idea to have tweets look like they are being broadcasted.
The bird and radio was a separate idea. We would have it look something like bing where they use a background graphic. have the search somewhere between the radio and bird.
The other balsamiq mock up was the more of a traditional website.
I'd love your creative pulse on this. We are open to ideas and as far as being able to code javascript to do things we can do that too.

If his name sounds familiar, you aren't the only one who thinks so. Asher Monroe, also known as Asher Book, has been singing and acting for years. A former V Factory boy band member, Asher has also starred in popular TV shows (Parenthood, The Mentalist) and movies (Fame) as well as Broadway productions.
More recently, Asher's been hard at work on a solo record. His single "Here With You" is a radio friendly track that is sure to get stuck in your head. He sat down with CBS Local to fill us in on how he came to write the track with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder and just what is going on in his music video.
"'Here With You' was a fun song to write. I wanted a song that had that anthem-y, dance feel," he said. "I co-wrote it with Ryan Tedder. We worked in a studio for a good weekend on it. I hadn't had a song that had that global, dance, uptempo, really feel good song. We just went for it."
Asher explained that he and Ryan first came up with the hook and then built the verses from there.
"It was a feel good song and I'm really happy how it came out," he said. "It was the same with the video. I just wanted to make it the house party to be at. I feel like I accomplished that."
Don't call it a love song, though. Asher isn't writing with one special lady in mind.
"'Here With You' is not necessarily towards one person per say. It can be anything," he said. "That's why I told a lot of my fans, 'Send me pictures of anything that represents 'Here With You' that you'd want to be with. Whether it's your family, your friends. Is it a dog or a cat?' It could be anything. Who do you want to have around you to make you feel like you're having the best time ever?"
Asher explained that the music video was shot in California by director LK and how it was rare for the director to work with him to make all his ideas come to life.
"There was this amazing house in the Hills in Hollywood, California. It just seemed like the perfect house and I got a bunch of my friends together, we hired some people," he said. "I just wanted to pack the place full. We got dancer and breakers. I had this concept in mind. I do a lot of the concepts for all my videos. I wanted me to navigate through the party and unfreeze people with my energy."
"It was fun to see it come to life. I spent weeks with him editing it and doing all the special effects," he said.

The Making of Marines—Then and Now
When Colonel John Ripley speaks, his words paint pictures in a listener's mind. Ripley is also a man who has thoroughly absorbed the ethos of the Marine Corps. His career included Navy Cross heroics in the Vietnam War, service as senior Marine at the Naval Academy (where he graduated in 1962), and a post-active-duty tour as director of the Marine Corps History and Museums Division.
Colonel Ripley's retelling of events in
the Naval Institute's Americans at War Series
Earlier this year the recruit depot at Parris Island, South Carolina, invited Ripley to return to the place where he began his Marine service as an enlistee in June 1957. The memories click easily into place as he recalls that beginning. Newly graduated from high school, he began with a bus ride from his home in southwest Virginia to the recruiting station in Richmond. Along came a train known as the "Swamp Special" that was moving southward along the Atlantic seaboard to pick up young men for delivery to recruit training.
The last two cars of the train were for the new recruits only, and Ripley was dumbfounded when he got aboard. As he sat quietly in his seat, he observed that many of his new mates had created pandemonium. People were yelling, running around, and throwing things at each other. A thought flashed through his mind, "What in the hell have I gotten into here?" A vendor entered one car with a basket of sandwiches for sale. The rowdy soon-to-be-former-civilians assaulted the salesman, grabbed his wares, threw him out of the car, and filled the air with sandwiches.
One Marine staff sergeant was on board to keep order, but the situation was clearly beyond his control. Apparently he or someone else on the train communicated ahead to Yamassee, South Carolina, the whistle-stop town where the Swamp Special was headed. A welcoming committee of some 100 Marines was on hand to take charge and ended the party abruptly.
A ride in a school bus took Ripley and his new cohorts some 30 miles through a forest for arrival at Parris Island in the wee hours of the morning. There would be no sleep that night and seldom enough of it in the weeks to come. In the H shaped wood-frame barracks of that era, the heads contained too few sinks and mirrors for a platoon of more than 80 men. Morning shaving meant a crowded line of six or seven recruits bobbing back and forth in front of each mirror.
The training routine inculcated teamwork and discipline, but the learning was no easy task. The principal lesson soon became abundantly clear—do exactly what you're told and do it without question or murmur. Drilling took up large parts of the routine. There were lectures outside in the South Carolina sun and frequent inspections. One day, after he had dutifully washed his uniforms in a bucket, Ripley presented them to his drill instructor. The DI scooped one item of clothing out of the bucket with a swagger stick and pronounced it "too soapy." Ripley tried to explain that it wasn't, which resulted in his uniforms and bucket being hurled into a swamp so he could wash everything again.
Weeks passed as the recruits learned the precise rituals involved in handling and cleaning their M-1 rifles, marksmanship training, obstacle courses, and all the demands for learning the Marine Corps way. One recruit casually set his rifle down briefly to get something from his locker, and soon his mates rushed toward him to have him get hold of the rifle before he or they could be punished for his laxity. Another time the DI halted Ripley's platoon as a much more seasoned one marched by. Ripley figured it was a deliberate lesson—a demonstration of what can come from training. The experienced recruits strode by with a precision that was accented as dozens of heels hit the pavement in unison. The words and examples flowed into the increasingly capable recruits of Ripley's platoon as they grew in confidence to the point that they began to see themselves as salty.
All those memories—and more—abounded in Ripley's head as he went back to Parris Island this year. There he saw the culmination of training for a new group of recruits, this one from a computer and video-game generation far removed from his own. The final exam field exercise is now a demanding day-and-night ordeal that truly fits its name—"The Crucible." The young men and women go out for an intense period that involves sleep deprivation, short rations, and the repeated lesson that none of them can succeed alone; teamwork is essential.
Back where he had started, Ripley reviewed a parade in his honor, visited with impressive staff NCOs who had returned from tours of duty in Iraq, and watched as the most recent group of recruits finished up. They had come back from their crucible exhausted, hollow-eyed, and soaked from pouring out rivers of sweat. They changed into clean uniforms for their graduation. As they stood in ranks, in view of family and friends in the nearby bleachers, drill instructors passed among them, passing out cards that were attached to the eagle-globe-and-anchor emblem of the Corps. Now, finally, they could call themselves "Marines."
In that moment, Colonel Ripley observed a display of what he called "pure, raw emotion" as the youngsters realized what they had accomplished. For a Marine who had gone through the boot camp experience himself 50 years earlier, it was also a moment of emotion and pride.

The Zucchini muffins are the absolute best, I know you should not rave about your own food (although if you dont who else will?) but I have been making them for years and I know they are foolproof. I had a lovely email this morning from one of the girls who came on Wednesday, she made these to take to her daughters Kindy shared morning tea, and they went down a treat. She commented the parents loved the hidden vegetables, which is just great. I dont have kids, but I have made them before for children who seem to like them as much as grown ups (I think the vege makes them slightly sweet?), little do those small bundles of energy know, but they are eating loads of vegetables with every bite! Ha ha, I feel so subversive.....
This makes about 12 normal size muffins, or 24 mini muffins, which make fantastic canapés
Approx 500 grams grated zucchini (this is 5 normal sized vegetables, not marrows!)
1 carrot grated
1 medium onion peeled and diced finely
About 2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 cup grated cheese (Tasty is fine here)
1 cup self-raising flour
¼ cup canola oil
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
4-5 eggs (depending on size)
Pre heat your oven to 180C/350F
Drain your grated zucchini, by placing them in a clean tea towel, and squeezing out as much moisture as you can, you will be surprised how much comes out of even very firm vegetables.
Put into a large bowl, and add the grated carrot, onion, cheese, flour and canola oil. Stir together, and add plenty of salt and pepper.
Add 4 eggs, and stir the mixture thoroughly, it should be moist but not to runny. Unlike normal muffins, this batter can take plenty of stirring without producing a tough result. If the mixture looks to dry, add the remaining egg.
Bake in greased muffin trays for about 20-25 mins at 180C until golden brown. Mini muffins will only take 15-20 mins.
These are so moist they don't need buttering, but the mini version are divine split and filled with cream cheese and a sliver of smoked salmon as a canapé.
I have also served them filled with goat cheese and a tsp of beetroot relish
If you are feeding meat eaters, 3-4 rashers of chopped bacon can also be added to the mixture before baking.
Well, a few small branches on the Silver Birch aside, we survived the big storm which battered most of New Zealand last week. I felt so feeble after posting about my fair weather gardening, I actually got myself outside, dodging rain showers, and planted out a whole bunch of seedlings and lettuce plants. The neighbours must think I'm slightly deranged, standing in a force 10 gales trying not to inhale all my potting mix, while simultaneously getting minuscule seeds out of a tiny packet which refuses to open (if you want to keep something safe, put it in a foil seed sachet, they are practically impenetrable)
I felt very pleased with myself, thinking when everyone turned up at my cooking class on Wednesday night they could admire all my new herbs pots while coming up the path. Given it was dark by 7pm, and the front light bulb has blown, they were probably just lucky not to fall over one.......
The cooking class was great fun, and thanks to the lovely Mairi over at Toast and her whizz iPhone, I even have pics for you. It is usually impossible for me to take pictures and conduct the class, so it was great to get some nice ones to show you.
Victoria's Spanish Tortilla
3-4 good size potatoes (as you probably know by now, I use Agria)
2 cups of Olive oil (I KNOW, it seems horrendous, but most of it is drained away & can be reused)
2 medium onions
4-5 eggs
Peel and slice your potatoes into small chunks. A Spanish mama would do it in her hand straight into a bowl, but feel free to use a chopping board (I do!) I cut the potato in half, then half again, and cut slim half moon shapes, as i like the way it looks when cooked and sliced, but it is really up to you
Peel your onions; slice in half then into thin crescents and chuck in bowl with your spuds. Add 1 1/2 cups of oil and mix all around to coat vegetables. Season generously, and I mean generously, potatoes need salt.
Put the whole lot into your non-stick frying pan. The size of your pan will dictate how many potatoes you use; this is enough for a 23cm pan. If the oil isn't really coating the potato, add more, you are basically stewing the vege in the oil. But remember as the oil heats it becomes more liquid, so it will cover the potatoes more, check once they start simmering and add more then if needed.
Cook over a low heat for approx 20 mins until the potato feels tender, then drain off the oil (which can be used again no problem).I keep my oil in a jar in the pantry
Tip the spud mix into a bowl, and add 4 beaten eggs (add the remaining egg if the mixture looks too dry). Mix and add a little more seasoning, then tip the whole lot back into your frying pan, and put back on the heat. You can turn the heat to med-low, and cook for about 10-15 mins, until the bottom is golden and the egg mixture is reasonably set (so when you turn it out it isn't going to run everywhere)
Flip onto a plate, and then slide back into the pan to cook the underside for another couple of minutes.
This isn't nearly as tricky as it sounds. Take the pan off the heat, put a plate on top of the frying pan, and using a tea towel to protect your hands, grab the plate & pan together and flip. The tortilla will drop onto the plate. Now put the pan back on the heat, and slide the tortilla off the plate and back into the pan to cook for about 5 more mins. Turn out onto a serving plate
On this theme, I am eagerly awaiting my copy of Martha Goes Green, a vegetarian cookbook put together by three girls in Australia (a couple are originally from this side of the ditch) ,designed and published by them independently, how gorgeous does it look? I cant wait to get my mitts on this & get cooking.....
Speaking of doing things independently, and being rather wonderful about it, check out the Underground Farmers Market, held in the flat and garden of Ms Marmitelover. This woman is fabulous, not only does she run an amazing underground restaurant in London (and is a total pioneer in the whole movement, setting up the network I belong to) but she does completely fabbo things like this, I mean, a whole market in a 2 bed flat & garden............how cool?
Cooking classes in kitchens, books from bedrooms, markets in flats, nothing like the spirit of DIY people, it's very inspiring:)
On that theme, I am setting up a little publication of my own, a Plum Kitchen Newsletter, which will be sent out monthly. It will have cooking class updates, supperclub dates, tip, recipes (of course!) , reviews and hopefully even some interviews (that's if a) I can find someone interesting who wants to talk to me, and b) I can shut my trap long enough to listen,) plus anything else I care to chuck in.....
To subscribe, please just send me an email and I will add you to my mailing list. Dont worry, I will NEVER send you crappy jokes, inspirational messages or ads for mens pharmacuticals, or give your email address to anyone else:)
Have a great weekend!

Eredivisie Preview: Twente out to derail Ajax
Twente will be out to breathe life into their faltering Eredivisie title hopes and derail leaders Ajax when the two meet this weekend.
Ajax are seven points clear of third-placed Twente with six games remaining ahead of Sunday's meeting in Amsterdam.
Twente boast two of the division's most potent strikers in Luc Castaignos and Dusan Tadic, who boast 26 league goals between them this term.
Yet Michel Jansen's side come up against the league's meanest defence knowing that only a win will keep their title hopes alive.
Twente have suffered something of a blip in recent weeks, although their three-game winless run came to an end with a 2-1 victory over AZ last time out.
Ajax have also faltered slightly, drawing their past two games against Cambuur and NAC Breda.
Second-placed PSV host UEFA Europa League-chasing Groningen and will be keen to capitalise should Frank de Boer's men drop points again.
PSV go into the game on the back of an eight-match winning run, which has allowed them to close the gap on Ajax to six points, although they have played a game more.
Groningen, meanwhile, need points to continue their challenge for a top-eight finish and a place in the Europa League play-offs.
Heerenveen and AZ are on course to gain play-off spots and face respective away games at fourth-placed Vitesse and Cambuur, who are 10th.
At the wrong end of the table, bottom club Roda JC face a crucial clash against fellow strugglers RKC Waalwijk at the Parkstad Limburg Stadion.
Waalwijk are two points ahead of Roda, with both clubs having displayed poor form in recent weeks.
This weekend's hosts have won one of their last nine matches, while Waalwijk have taken a solitary point from a possible 15 since thrashing Utrecht 5-2 on February 9.
Sandwiched between the two sides in 17th are NEC, who will be out to end a five-match winless streak when they host Heracles.
Another side in danger of relegation, Go Ahead Eagles, face a stern test when they visit a Feyenoord side who currently lie fifth, just two points adrift of a UEFA Champions League qualifying berth.
Elsewhere, NAC Breda welcome Utrecht and PEC Zwolle travel to ADO Den Haag.

Pavlyuchenkova, Suarez Navarro reach Portugal Open final
Oeiras, Portugal – Third-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and fourth-seeded 2012 runner-up Carla Suarez will be the combatants in Saturday's women's final at the Portugal Open.
The Russian Pavlyuchenkova was blown away in the opening set of her semifinal match on Friday before rebounding for a 0-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over Swiss Romina Oprandi, while a rematch of last year's Portugal Open final saw Suarez Navarro exact some revenge on Kaia Kanepi with a 6-4, 6-1 decision at this clay-court French Open tune-up. The Estonian slugger Kanepi beat Suarez Navarro in last year's final when the tournament was staged in Estoril.
The 21-year-old Moscow native Pavlyuchenkova will appear in her seventh career WTA final, seeking a fifth title. Three of the world No. 19's four career championships have come in Monterrey Mexico, including one just last month.
The 24-year-old Spaniard Suarez Navarro, meanwhile, is seeking her first-ever WTA-level title, having finished as a runner-up on four occasions, including one in Acapulco back in March.
Pavlyuchenkova will meet the 23rd-ranked Suarez Navarro for a fifth time, seeking a fifth victory.
The winner of this $235,000 event will collect $42,000.

Yeah, that was my next question: Can someone that downloads a folio I create view it on their desktops. Answer sounds like a 'no' for now.
Jeesh, this entire thing is really just a fantastically limited platform isn't it??!! lol. I mean.....lots of new bells and whistles purely for iPad/tablet use?
They really should have just called this iPad Publishing Suite, lol.
Right? Am I missing something here? All those amazing and wonderful issues of an interactive subscription based magazine that someone creates is only viewable on a mobile device?
Though in this case Adobe does clearly state TABLET DEVICES all over the place, so I'll let this one slide.
Still, doesn't change the point I was making about just calling it the iPad Pub Suite.
81. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDogwalker1251 May 16, 2011 5:58 AM (in response to Pierluis)
Bend_033 said just use Flash and Dreamweaver to create the apps - so, does this mean you could use ID, create your content, spit out html/swf content, import to Dreamweaver and then export to an IOS app? To quote him "BING BANG BOOM" Is it really that easy and if so, isn't that a solution for the single apps approach? Trying to figure all this out myself.
82. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 9:15 AM (in response to Dogwalker1251)
Check out some of the new feature videos on the subject at Adobe TV. (They are CS5 and CS5.5 features)
The point of bringing it up here was more or less to illustrate that are are many solutions to the "digital publication" solution. Dreamweaver to ios is meant more for HTML views while Flash to iOS is meant for more interactive content. If you understand the integration and interaction among the programs and with proper training, it is a very simple step to take your indesign layouts to iOS.
And as i stated before.. we have done that route.. have some amazing apps but we are willing to pay $500 a month to have a quicker and easier process in our workflow.
83. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadChrisInformer May 16, 2011 10:31 AM (in response to Bob Bringhurst - Adobe)
We are developing a folio file to be used by our sales team to support the launch of our latest product.
The roadshow is planned for 20th of May.
We planned to hire a application developer but Adobe convinced us by workshops and the internet to go with the Digital Publishing solution.
We are now almost finishing the project. We have our folio's, they are posted on Acrobat.com. We have upgraded to the 5.5 to make sure we have the latest tools. Now, at the end of the process, we tried to upload the folio onto our iPad, using the Adobe Content viewer, we see the file (no preview) but when we hit "Donwload" I get an error-message saying that the file is missing.
If I understand correctly, this is because you are working on a new Adobe Content viewer, which still has to be approved by Apple.
Does this means that we have NO option to download the files onto our iPads for the time-being?
When will the problem be solved? My company will not be too happy if I cannot deliver the working file on the iPads soon.
84. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadBobLevine May 16, 2011 10:38 AM (in response to ChrisInformer)
Ask Apple...they're the ones holding it up.
85. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few Ipadlandrvr1 May 16, 2011 10:55 AM (in response to kdsclocan)
..and we come right back to my point. It's awful having to rely on Adobe and Apple as the sole means of distribution.
86. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadChrisInformer May 16, 2011 11:08 AM (in response to BobLevine)
What do I tell my boss? Before the end of May? Or do we have to start looking for alternatives? (Hiring the app-guy afterall?)
87. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few Ipadlandrvr1 May 16, 2011 11:44 AM (in response to Pierluis)
I've no idea when Adobe submitted the new app, but Apple seems to be at around 4 weeks approval time for apps.
Of course, when they see Adobe's name they no doubt tack on an additional 2 weeks. Just because they can.
Seriously, broham. I feel your pain. At least if you create your own app you can distribute it via the Enterprise method and not go through anyone but your own servers.

Thanks very must, I will have a look at it ASAP!!!
Adobe, please keep me posted on the Apple-story.

I just did some checking on what it would take to build apps in Flash/Flash Builder. I build Flash sites several times a year, so I'm certainly no newbie to the platform (though as mentioned earlier, I'm still on AS2). But from what I've seen so far in terms of app creation:
It's a phantasmagoric mess of AS3, MXML, CSS, and Java.
And in typical Adobe fashion, it's mind-numbingly unclear exactly what tools do what..lol. How does Flash come into play vs Flash Builder? How does Flex and Catalyst come into play? How does Air figure into the mix?
God forbid there should just be a simple page somewhere at Adobe.com entitled:
So You Wanna Build An App.
And then take us through an exceedingly clear and simple set of vids about how to start, and how each of those components can factor in... lol.
You wonder why many of us are excited about InDesign for simple app creation? Even using the canned format? See above.
90. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 2:14 PM (in response to landrvr1)
Obviously your a little behind the times. Flash Catalyst was the HUGE thing last year. I never recommended going to flashbuilder route.. its a lot of backend hookup and meant for more "data centric" apps.
You also can't scream foul because your knowledge is limited to an understanding of a scripting language from 4.....5 software versions ago.. that's not the software's fault.
Its kind of like your trying to build a car.. and you have the parts... some general plans.. the machines and the tools.. but not the knowhow of how they all fit together? You could probably Crawl your way toward a finished product by a "self taught" method.. but your product might not come out looking like you wanted.
There are some amazing and cheap courses out there that could get you started on AS3 or even just how to use InDesign efficiently.
And if that doesn't sound good to you.. well seek out a solution (like DPS) that gets all the dirty work out of the way and is at a price you like... but trust me Adobe is in no way preventing you from getting your material out there.. your only limited by your knowledge and willingness to learn.
91. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few Ipadlandrvr1 May 16, 2011 3:30 PM (in response to David Ben)
You're missing the point. It's not that I'm incapable or unwilling to learn AS3.
It's that building an app in Flash is 10x more involved - knowledge of AS3 or Catalyst or not - than building a simple deliverable using InDesign and the appropriate extensions. Heck, even if AS3 hadn't been invented and I could use AS2, it would still involve far more steps than what you have with InDesign.
For that matter, it's mondo bizarro that Adobe didn't streamline the app building tools in Flash, lol. Oh my. Watch any of those AdobeTV videos: 90% coding, 5% actual graphics manipulation/creation, 5% testing. lol. There seems to be an ungodly amount of steps and coding in just compiling the thing for mobile compatibility.
But yeah..I gotta bite the bullet and start in on AS3. But as mentioned earlier, it's not just me. Have you visited actionscript.org or flashkit lately? Still just as many AS2 posts as AS3. At least I'm not alone in my pathetic laziness.
Oh..and another reason to bring sideloading back? Digital resumes that someone can present or deliver.
So close. Yet so far away.
92. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 3:45 PM (in response to landrvr1)
more involved or not.. its still a viable solution. We wouldn't be having this conversation if it wasn't the limitations of Apple lol i mean our studio hands out a great little flash resume to our android users no problem. So your request goes back to an open format that Adobe and Apple will agree to.
Btw the people that have been contacting me via message or IM the new content viewer was approved and is ready for download from Itunes.

The question remains:
Will Adobe extend more options in terms of the DPS pricing? Looks promising:By Adobe Digital Publishing Admin - 7:29 PM on April 15, 2011
Hi Bonnie, Thanks for your comment and your interest! We are definitely looking into how best to serve small and independent publisher because we know they make up a large part of InDesign users. We'll be sure to share any updates here. Thanks.By Adobe Digital Publishing Admin - 12:03 AM on May 3, 2011 Reply
Hi Jorge- Thanks for this feedback. We're investigating other pricing options and models for independent publishers right now and will definitely let you know when we have something to announce. Thanks!By Adobe Digital Publishing Admin - 9:34 PM on May 16, 2011 Reply
Hi John, Thanks for this feedback. We're investigating alternative, lower cost pricing models and will keep you updated. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.That's from the Pro Edition page.Bend, I wanna hear from you what you think would be a fair rate to charge small and/or independent (single person) publishers.Go.
94. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 4:06 PM (in response to landrvr1)
Like i said.. i think the acrobat.com integration price is appropriate for smaller groups that just want to have their material viewed from the adobe viewer.. and $500-$600 Per App fee if they want to extend that to their own single folio application... like some of the other solutions are doing.
Adobe discussed with the pre-release two more Pricing models should be appearing in the near future.. I think they said 6-12 weeks. Neither of which was hinted would satisfy your appetite for a "in house distribution solution". But that could change.
95. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 4:11 PM (in response to David Ben)
As i discussed with an Adobe Rep yesterday .. Acrobat.com already extends the folio experience outside the DPS dashboard... it would just be nice if the viewer could be accessed by someone other than a registered Adobe.com user.
96. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few Ipadlandrvr1 May 16, 2011 4:15 PM (in response to Pierluis)
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Acrobat.com solution for the time being...then switch to DPS when they get more pricing options going. No argument here that the DPS distribution method right to an app is the best way to go within the Adobe hosted framework.
97. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDavid Ben May 16, 2011 4:37 PM (in response to landrvr1)
I'm glad that your not giving up on the solution. I think they were always be people griping about pricing.. i mean if Adobe did do a model like Quark/aquafados... people would quickly realize that after making a few apps.. they are racking up a bill that would have covered Unlimited app creation with a full year licensing of DPS as it is now. we have already been hearing from people complaining about performance issues with Quack/Aquafados's XML based app creation.. and server performance lags. Although i believe that solution is aimed more toward a business like yours... (cause you know exactly how many people are going to be interacting with the server) but for the user that intends to make profit (unless they are running a dedicated server environment), are going to experience major App lag and performance issues with anything else they have on that server. So for us at least.. its like ok--- i can spend $500 a month on a basic dedicated server.. or $500 a month on DPS.. with the server space already there... plus all the amazing features! Thats how my design firm has been thinking about it..
98. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few Ipadlandrvr1 May 17, 2011 3:34 PM (in response to Pierluis)
Okay. Just created my first folio with 2 articles using the free Acrobat.com account. Fairly painless.
But what's this nonsense where you have to use a WEB BASED TOOL TO REORDER THE ARTICLES???
That's awful. Is that the only way? I thought in Content Builder all that happened locally?
99. Re: Publishing just one .folio to a few IpadDarrenFMc Jul 7, 2011 6:49 AM (in response to Pierluis)
I have an acrobat.com account and was asked to look into creating an iPad Magazine twice yearly release that could be viewed by users with company iPads, Blackberry's etc as we produce Magazine style Newsletters using Indesign and publish PDF's and also a version for online viewing.
The company I work for is a $20 Billion company and we have over 140 thousand employees, so money is not an issue, but value is.
When I explained how the folio system worked, all I saw in th room were open mouths.............
" You mean, we create the content in house, we cannot store it on our own servers, and we have to pay someone else for the privilege of viewing our own content?"
So we are sticking to PDF's and SWF Web Content. Easy enough also to convert to HTML5 compliance, create a podcast via iTunes and away we go.
This setup is stupid, and Adobe knows it is stupid. Why else do they deliberately forget to mention these extra requirements when they are advertising these "fantastic" options.
Adobe is known for vague information anyway and heavily relies on third party companies to provide training and support for their products so we should not be surprised about this lack of information about huge outlays.
I'll get more information from Lynda.com soon I'm sure!
Where do you find information about getting the folio file from acrobat.com onto an iPad to view offline when someone is on an aircraft or in an area with limited wireless access ( These areas still exist you know)?

Energy Independence and Security Act Enforces Motor Efficiency
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 will mandate NEMA Premium and other efficiency bumps along with quicker payback.
Surveying the plant-scape for ripe opportunities to save energy, engineers usually find that big boilers or big process heat sources are the low-hanging fruit that will pay the big bucks. Now, at a time when many capital projects are on the back burner, those big heat and steam recovery projects may have to wait.
While a few giant assets can gobble up a large portion of a plant's energy usage, there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of motors that can't be bundled into a single project. But they still should be considered and even managed over time in a systematic manner with repair/replace guidelines, purchasing policies based on life-cycle costing and predictive and preventive maintenance planning.
Motors may be overlooked in capital project plans — which may well be on hold while the recession and credit crunch continue — but motors can add up to make a big dent in a plant's overall efficiency profile.
- Electric motors account for nearly two-thirds of energy used in industrial settings, according to the Dept. of Energy (DOE).
- In keeping with the DOE estimate across industries, motor use in the food industry accounts for 60-70 percent of the typical plant's total energy costs, according to a consensus of industry experts.
- The purchase price of a motor accounts for a fraction of its actual cost; at least 97 percent of the costs are incurred by electrical consumption over the motor's service life.
It's not just inevitable that food plants will gravitate toward higher-efficiency motors; soon, the law will require motor manufacturers to meet higher efficiency standards in the motors they offer.
Law to bump-up efficiency
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is a federal law that will take effect Dec. 19, 2010 to address a broad range of efficiency measures. Title III Section 313 of the act covers Electric Motor Efficiency Standards. When the law takes effect, it won't mandate any immediate changes by end users.
The act specifies changes to most three-phase AC induction motors, 600 V or less, ranging in horsepower from 1 to 500 hp, which will fall into one of three groups when the law takes effect:
Looking to the Future
- Motors of 1-200 hp that were covered under a previous law, the 1992 Energy Policy Act (EPAct, enacted in 1997), must be manufactured to the highest level: the NEMA Premium standard of the National Electrical Manufacturers Assn. (NEMA).
- Motors 1-200 hp that were not covered by EPAct must be manufactured to the Energy Efficient designation that covered general purpose motors under EPAct.
- Motors 201-500 hp also must be manufactured to the above Energy Efficient standard.
In short, the act will bump-up the efficiency of motors by law instead of by choice. Some of the things the law will not affect include fractional-horsepower motors, two-phase motors (more common in small machinery) and DC motors, which generally have been eclipsed in plants by lower-maintenance AC motors mated to variable speed drives.
That leaves plenty of room to mandate better AC motors in production; heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; and elsewhere around the facility — all of which eventually will get more efficient replacements.
"The law doesn't force anyone to replace their motors. They can maintain their existing motors as long as they like," says William Hoyt, industry director for NEMA. "But one thing they cannot do is repair a low-efficiency motor to make it a high-efficiency motor."
So at some point, perhaps long after the supply chain is depleted of older-generation motors, the only available replacement motors will have been manufactured to higher standards.
NEMA premium
Leading and green-leaning companies already opt for NEMA Premium-rated motors (http://www.nema.org/gov/energy/efficiency/premium), which bowed in 2003 to raise the bar on motor efficiency. Among their operational benefits, they meet tighter manufacturing tolerances for greater reliability and run cooler for greater overall energy efficiency.
Not surprisingly, progress has its price. When plants decide a motor can't be rewound or refurbished, "They'll be buying better products at a higher price," says Robert Kindred, technical services manager at Toshiba International's Industrial Division (www.toshiba.com/ind), Houston. Which is what happened 12 years ago when EPAct became law.

Democratic Municipal Officials (DMO) is developing a national "Blue Star" Candidate Program. This program will provide national attention to local races where a pivotal seat can be won or held, particularly mayoral races and council races whereby a victory would give control of a Council/Board/Commission to Democrats. Although any candidate can be referred for consideration by the Chapter Board, an emphasis will be placed on selecting candidates whose victory would change or hold Democratic control in that municipal body.
Chartered DMO Chapters may refer one or more of their "Certified" or "Endorsed" candidates each election cycle to the national DMO Board of Directors for consideration. Candidates accepted into the "Blue Star" Candidate Program will be recognized as such and will be referred for mentoring, fundraising and technical assistance to a multitude of national and regional organizations which may be inclined to help in municipal races. The candidates will also be highlighted in a national email to the full DMO membership who will be solicited to support the campaign financially.

When temperatures rise and the birds begin chirping, we get inspired to resume our warm-weather activities. For runners, that means the start of spring training.
Creating a seasonal race schedule and planning your running goals is exciting, but it's especially important to make injury prevention a top priority. If you spent more time in your slippers than your running shoes during winter, remember these three words: Take it slowly.
More: 7 Ways to Jump-Start Your Spring Training
Step 1: Improve Technique
Take the first six weeks of training to work on technique. For starters, practice leaning slightly forward from your ankles, landing midfoot, and engaging your core muscles. On every run, pick two Form Focuses from the Chi Running book or DVD to work on, and practice each focus with as much precision as possible. Do Form Intervals to instill the technique in your body.
More: The Keys to Flawless Running Technique
Step 2: Increase Distance
Increase your mileage slowly so your body can adapt to longer distances. Don't increase your total weekly mileage by more than 10 percent per week, and remember to refuel and rehydrate more often on your longer runs.
More: Chi Running and the Art of the Long Run
Step 3: Gain Speed
Speed will come easily if you lay a good aerobic base first. For the first six weeks of training, never run faster than your maximum aerobic heart rate. This will build your aerobic capacity so that when/if you add speed workouts to your training, your body will be able to easily handle the increased oxygen demand.
Running faster than your maximum aerobic heart rate actually inhibits the production of capillary beds in the lining of your lungs and in your muscles, so resist the temptation to run speedy workouts at first.
More: A Lesson in Oxygen Intake and VO2 Max
While a heart rate monitor will give you the most accurate reading, here's how to roughly calculate your heart rate on your own:
Go out for a run and, after a good warm-up, take your pulse (at your wrist or at your carotid artery on your neck) by counting your heart rate for 15 seconds and multiplying by four. This will give you your current heart rate.
To determine your maximum aerobic heart rate, follow this simple "180 Formula" created by running coach Phil Maffetone:
- Subtract your age from 180.
- If you are recovering from a major illness, surgery or on any medication, subtract 10.
- If you have not exercised before, or have been injured, regressing in your running, often get colds, or you have allergies, subtract five.
- If you have been exercising for up to two years with no real problems and have not had colds or flu more than once or twice a year, subtract zero.
- If you have been exercising for more than two years without any problems, making progress in competition without injury, add five.
If you let your heart rate get close to, but does not exceed, your maximum aerobic heart rate, you'll find that your speed will gradually increase, but your effort level will remain the same. You'll be able to run longer distances faster and without pain or injury. That's quality Spring training.

Mr. Luther Coggin, Ms. Toni Crawford, Mr. O'Neal Douglas, Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mr. Steve Halverson, Ms. Donna L. Harper, Ms. Ann Hicks, Mr. Hank Rogers, Ms. Carol Thompson, and Mr. Kevin Twomey. Dr. Terry Bowen, Ms. Joan Wellhouse Newton, and Mr. James Stallings participated via conference call.
Dr. Floyd Willis.
Chair Thompson called the meeting to order. She welcomed and introduced the phone participants and Mr. Jerry Baker, consultant for the search firm of Baker and Parker. The Chair thanked the Trustees for adjusting their schedules to conform with the new meeting time in order to meet with Mr. Baker. She said that she would delay her report until just before Mr. Baker's discussion.
Trustee Hicks, Chair of the Educational Policy Committee, asked Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez to lead the discussion on the student code of conduct review. Dr. Gonzalez gave a brief history of the code, stating that the entire code had been reviewed, revised and approved last year by a committee of faculty, staff, and students under President Hopkins. He said that after one full year of implementation, there had been no student challenges so only minor adjustments had been made to the code (indicated in blue) consisting of additional definitions and more precise language. The Educational Policy Committee had reviewed the policy and the changes and was requesting that the Board approve the indicated changes.
Trustee Hicks stated that she wished to have only one motion for approval of all of the policies at the end of her report, but asked if there were any questions regarding this policy. Trustee Gonzalez asked if students were required to sign a statement of receipt of the code and whether parents were also given a copy of the code. Dr. Gonzalez answered that all students received a copy in their student handbooks but that no signature was required. He indicated that the information was also available on the web. Chair Thompson asked Trustee Rogers if he had reviewed the policy and had any comments or objections. Trustee Rogers answered that he had no objections to the policy.
Trustee Hicks asked that Mary O'Neal speak to the policy on limited access. Ms. O'Neal stated that the limited access to records rule was proscribed by Florida statute to clarify which records would generally not be considered open access. An open forum was held for comment on the rule. No changes to the rule resulted.
Trustee Hicks asked Julie Sheppard to report to the Board regarding the faculty assignments rule. Ms. Sheppard indicated that other rules such as these would be forthcoming due to devolution of powers. University staff planned to word rules concisely, saving more detailed descriptions of implementation for policies. The committee requested that the Board approve the current policy so it could be put into rule form. The Trustees had no questions or comments on this rule.
Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez spoke regarding the antihazing rule and the disruptive behavior rule, stating that a development workshop had been held on the rules on November 15, allowing an opportunity for comment. The antihazing rule stated that hazing was against the law and was written in the same format as the code of conduct. Trustee Twomey asked if hazing was illegal throughout the United States and if it was also illegal for military schools. Dr. Gonzalez replied that it was, stating that there was a federal mandate against hazing. Dr. Gonzalez stated that the purpose of the disruptive behavior rule was to outline the types of behavior the University would consider disruptive. The committee was seeking approval for both rules.
Trustee Hicks moved that the Board approve the five rules. No second was required as the motions had been forwarded by the committee. The motions were unanimously approved by the Board.
Chair Thompson informed the Board that President Kline would not be in attendance at the meeting and that Dr. Serwatka was available to answer any questions. She asked Trustee Halverson if the Finance and Audit Committee wanted to have motions approved individually or together at the conclusion of his report. He responded that he would like to address the motions individually.
Trustee Halverson thanked Trustee Douglas for chairing the last committee meeting in his absence. He said that the first item the committee would like to address was fees for activity and service. The committee's recommendation was to keep fees the same as the fees for the previous year. No increase was possible due to the fact that rates were capped. He moved to accept the fees as stated. Chair Thompson asked if there were any questions then called the motion to a vote. All were in favor.
The second item addressed by the Finance and Audit Committee's report was child care fees, readdressed each year to determine if adjustments were necessary. Trustee Halverson indicated the attached list of recommended fee increases; the increases ranged from 0 to more than 17%. He moved to approve the proposed fee schedule as prepared.
Chair Thompson asked for questions or comments. Trustee Gonzalez said that he had spoken with some child development centers in the area and that the fee schedule seemed higher than what he'd found at other centers. He asked if this was due to student subsidization. Dr. Gonzalez asked Ms. Pam Bell to answer. Ms. Bell reported that the center's rates were about mid-range. A survey had been conducted to determine the approximate range; the highest fees were around $162 and the lowest were about $99. Some of the difference in fees was due to the quality of the centers, also some centers were subsidized by churches or other groups. Trustee Douglas remarked that the University child care center was now required to absorb its own expenses.
Trustee Gonzalez said that he wanted to make sure that some of the more diverse segments of the community were not excluded by the rates. Ms. Bell stated that the center had applied for and received a grant of $35,000, which would go toward subsidizing underprivileged students. Trustee Harper asked for clarification, stating that she understood that the quality of the center was superior and that there was a waiting list for enrollment in the center. Ms. Bell agreed, reporting that the center was accredited, which was considerably more expensive, but held standards for the center that were much higher. Chair Thompson called the motion to a vote and it was approved unanimously.
Trustee Halverson thanked everyone for their pertinent questions, then moved to the next item of business, the audits of the direct service organizations. He indicated that the audits appeared to be in order and moved acceptance of them. He asked Trustee Douglas if there was anything he would like to add. Trustee Douglas indicated that there was one more item of concern and asked Mr. Rob Labinski, an auditor from KPMG-Pete Marwick, to comment. Mr. Labinski said that a complete audit of athletics had also been done and that Foundation had approved it, but the item was not included in the Trustees' packets, as the audit materials had just been received. Trustee Halverson stated that the item on athletics would wait until the written materials were received. The Trustees approved audits of the Foundation and the Training and Service Institute.
The next item discussed related to continuation of the rule making process in regard to direct service organizations. Trustee Halverson asked counsel to comment. Ms. Karen Stone stated that the University was required by statute to have a rule outlining some of the fundamental terms and conditions for direct service organizations. In addition to the rule, operating procedures would provide for oversight of the organizations. Ms. Stone also brought up a point of information discussed at the Finance and Audit Committee meeting, the Board Chair has the right to appoint a trustee to both support organizations; this option was exercised by the Board of Regents during their tenure. Chair Thompson remarked that it was an excellent suggestion. She noted that the University had intended to provide reports on the direct service organizations at the last full Board meeting, however, due to time constraints, the reports were postponed until January. The motion to approve the DSO rule was called to a vote and approved unanimously.
The last item addressed by the Finance and Audit committee was the pre-tax benefits plan. Trustee Halverson stated that as of January, the University would no longer be considered a state agency and as such, employees of the University would no longer be state employees. In an effort to continue benefits seamlessly, the committee wished to adopt the same plan used by the State. Trustee Harper asked if there was a cost difference to the University. Dr. Serwatka answered that there would not be a difference in cost. Chair Thompson asked if employees would still have access to the state retirement plan and health benefits. The response was affirmative to both questions. Trustee Halverson moved to approve the plan. The Board voted unanimously in favor.
Trustee Halverson asked Trustee Douglas if there were any other significant issues from the last Finance and Audit meeting. Trustee Douglas responded that there was one issue, the committee was unable to meet quorum at the last meeting. Chair Thompson thanked Trustee Douglas for attending the meeting and representing the Board, stating that while such circumstances were to be avoided when possible, the meeting date had been changed several times and the Trustees' availability was currently extremely limited. She said that she knew the lower attendance was due to circumstances and not to a lack of interest.
Janet Owen reported that the Florida Board of Education met on December 10 in Tallahassee and introduced the proposed K-20 budget allocations, which would be forwarded to the Governor's office and the Legislature for consideration; the final budget outcome would probably not be forthcoming until the end of the legislative session in May. Several increases were requested, including monies for enrollment growth, new space, student financial aid, and strategic imperatives for K-20.
Additional FTE had been proposed for all eleven institutions, to be funded by a mandated 7.5% across-the-board tuition increase, with a discretionary 5% tuition increase available to the boards of trustees. According to recommendations from the Higher Education Funding Advisory Council, boards would also be given flexibility for tuition rates for different programs or peak/off-peak course times.
The FBOE proposed budget would continue to phase in the medical school for Florida State University and two new law schools. The strategic imperative project for universities would fund an initiative entitled "Programs of Prominence." The FBOE budget request also included funds for implementing the constitutional amendment to reduce class size.
Ms. Owen stated that the current PECO revenue estimate for available allocations in 2004-2005 fell under $230 million, substantially lower than the $596 million available for 2003-2004. According to the FBOE's budget request, the eleven universities would receive $20 million next year for remodeling, renovation, maintenance, and repairs. Approximately $146 million would be requested to fund university building projects, although Ms. Owen stated that it was possible that all of the PECO funds would go to K-12, without having any of the funds designated for the universities.
Ms. Owen updated the Trustees on the status of CEPRI's study on equity in funding among the state universities. Ms. Owen ended her report by announcing the appointments to the House and Senate committees.
Chair Thompson moved the discussion toward the presidential search process, reminding the group that a search firm, Baker-Parker, had been selected. Chair Thompson stated that, although she realized many faculty were absent due to the approaching holiday, the Board felt it was important to begin discussion on the presidential search so as not to delay the process any longer than was necessary.
Chair Thompson announced that Dr. Floyd Willis had decided to resign from his position on the Board. She said that Dr. Willis was very sensitive to the need for participation from Trustees and had decided that he was unable to carry out the responsibilities of both his family practice and his position on the Board. However, he remained very committed to UNF.
A question was posed regarding the impact on Board appointments from the new Board of Governors. Janet Owen answered, stating that it was her understanding that Governor Bush would make all of the appointments to the Board of Governors by December 31 and that the Board of Governors would probably meet as close to January 7 as possible. The Board of Governors would then appoint five members to each of the boards of trustees, Governor Bush would appoint 6 members to each board, and the remaining members would consist of the student body and faculty association presidents. Chair Thompson added that this was a good time for Trustees to consider whether or not they wished to be reappointed. She announced that Dr. Terry Bowen would be the faculty representative for the new Board of Trustees while Hank Rogers would remain the student representative. More information regarding appointments to the Board would be available after the appointment of the Board of Governors.
Trustee Crawford asked if the Board of Governors could rescind the rules recently voted upon by the Trustees. Ms. Owen answered that they could but it was unlikely. Trustee Hicks asked if the FBOE would still be in place after the Board of Governors was appointed. Chair Thompson responded that the FBOE would continue, but would probably have little to do with higher education. Ms. Owen added that the FBOE would lose jurisdiction over state universities January 7. Efforts were being made to determine the new staff structure, and personnel would probably be shared as much as possible in order to preserve as much of the K through 20 system as possible. Trustee Coggin and Trustee Douglas observed that one of the reasons the Board did not expedite the search process was to allow for changes as a result of Amendment 11. The Board also wished to make sure there had been adequate input from constituents.
Chair Thompson introduced Jerry Baker, the consultant from the firm chosen to conduct a search for the next President of UNF. Mr. Baker expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to work with the Board. He felt it was important to continue conversation regarding necessary qualifications for the new President into January and to identify a search committee. He said he would arrange for another visit after classes began to allow more interaction with faculty, staff, and the student body. He asked the Trustees to speak with him about the direction they would like the search to take, and to list for him and prioritize what they would consider the most pertinent qualities for their next President.
Trustee Coggin questioned Mr. Baker, asking if, during his years of experience in conducting presidential searches, he had found that any one candidate could effectively and efficiently meet the needs for higher education, individual requirements for each university, necessary people skills, adequate representation of various entities, and the ability to raise funds. Mr. Baker replied that one individual could not equally meet all of those requirements. He recommended that Trustees decide what qualities would be the most important to the University at this point in the University's history. He asked which advisory groups the Trustees would like to employ in the search process.
Chair Thompson stated that the Board would like an open search, incorporating feedback from all constituent groups. She noted, however, that while the Trustees wished for an open search process, they did not want an unwieldy and dysfunctional committee. She commented upon the involvement of the Trustees in the presidential search process, stating that all of the Board members had attended the transition committee meetings when possible and that all of the Trustees, aware that it was their duty and privilege to select the next President, were interested in participating in the search process. She, and several of the Trustees, suggested that the search committee consist of the entire Board of Trustees, including the student and faculty representatives.
Trustee Hicks proposed one way to keep the search committee from becoming too unwieldy, suggesting that Mr. Baker could solicit information from the community through open forums. Chair Thompson concurred, remarking that input could be solicited in a number of ways, for instance, in order to expedite the process but still allow for full expression, the Board could arrange for meetings between Mr. Baker and community leaders. Trustee Crawford added that a member of the Foundation should be included in the search committee or one of the focus groups. Mr. Baker said that an ideal search committee would consist of approximately 7-9 members. Trustee Harper spoke of an advisory group consisting of community leaders and faculty who had identified a short list of candidates early on in the search process; she thought that group should be included in the process as well. Chair Thompson observed that the Board was somewhat unique in make-up as there were four Trustees who were members of the Foundation, in addition to the student and faculty members.
Mr. Baker spoke of narrowing the list for consideration, and said that he would probably enlist the committee and the Board in conducting reference checks for the short list of candidates. Financial and full background checks would be done on the final candidates, which may require that the Trustees visit the candidates' current places of employment. Chair Thompson recommended postponing the final decision regarding search committee selection until after January 7.
Trustee Coggin suggested that the Trustees discuss the various qualities they would consider important for the next President of the University. Dr. Terry Bowen stated that from a faculty perspective, he would be interested in a candidate's values; for instance, would that candidate value academic freedom, promotion and tenure, personnel policies currently in place, intellectual freedom – those were the qualities faculty would consider important for candidates to demonstrate.
Trustee Hicks listed some of the characteristics she felt would be have the most significance, such as fundraising ability, someone who would be recognized and supported by the Jacksonville community, a candidate with stature, dignity, and a high energy level who was well spoken and could adequately articulate the needs of the University to the community. Trustee Newton agreed with Trustee Hicks, as did Dr. Bowen, who said that he also felt fundraising ability was instrumental and that the characteristics mentioned by Trustees Hicks and Newton could be congruent with those he had listed previously. Trustee Harper affirmed that it would be necessary to look for someone with the ability to motivate, who could also earn the respect of faculty during times of decreased funding.
Trustee Twomey agreed, he suggested an examination of where the University was now in relation to funding and growth. He pointed out that funding was a substantial consideration, and spoke of the University's importance to the community and to the community's growth. He identified current and upcoming vacancies such as the Dean of Business, the Dean of Continuing Education, the Director of the Library, and the Vice President of Administration and Finance. He indicated that the next President would have to be able to fill those positions competently. He stated that while UNF had many wonderful people, there was not much depth to the University; it was not an old University with many established layers.
He particularly agreed with Dr. Bowen's areas of concern. Beyond that, he felt the search should be informed not only by the environment as the Trustees knew it to be now, but also by what Trustees envisioned that the University could become, considering that the President would have to oversee operation of the University in an increasingly public and unusually complex environment. He pointed out that UNF was a relatively large institution that was continuing to increase in size. The candidate for President would have to be someone used to working with large institutions.
Trustee Twomey said that while the University was clearly striving to grow stronger academically, the next President was likely to face almost a reinvention of the funding process. It was a reasonable assumption that the next President would face a funding crisis. It was important to consider that even more than the necessity than a single leader, was the necessity of seeking someone with the confidence, loyalty, energy, and charisma necessary to inspire other leaders.
Trustee Douglas said that he felt the town/gown combination mentioned by Trustee Hicks was of great significance; the town side of the University was of critical importance as funding was certain to be an issue in the upcoming years. He concurred that strong leadership abilities would be necessary, the new President would need the ability to pull programs together, lead by example, articulate clearly and be a strong mediator and negotiator. He felt that the next President should have an understanding of politics and be immediately recognizable to both the University and surrounding communities.
Trustee Gonzalez was in strong agreement with Trustee Douglas. He felt the ability to delegate was of great importance, as was the ability to nurture faculty and the student body to help them adjust to the current rate of growth. He agreed that the ability to navigate politically, winning, but not fighting, would be a strong asset. He did not feel that credentials were as important as the ability to think and respond quickly. He indicated that he would not want to see credentials used as a means for excluding a candidate, and suggested that the word preference be used as opposed to the word requirement. He also said that he understood that some degrees, such as a law degree or certain master's degrees were considered terminal degrees, even though they were not doctoral degrees. Additionally, he would like to make sure that the new President would be sensitive to diversity issues in terms of faculty and staff as well as student body. He wished for a candidate who would be concerned with students' abilities to obtain employment, not just an education.
Dr. Bowen was in accord with the town and gown concept, stating that he believed that as a public institution, the University should be responsive to the town. Trustee Rogers believed the next President should be student centered and able to cope with the growing student population and an increasingly large campus.
Chair Thompson reviewed the discussion, stating that while she understood faculty concerns about the academic qualifications of potential candidates, such as those of elected officials or politicians, the State economy has been in somewhat of a crisis situation, which may not get much better. In order for the University to survive in the future, resources, and the ability to obtain them, would be an important consideration. She stated that both the University and the community had grown exponentially over the last few years, and that the business community held great respect for the University.
She gave an example of a leadership position not necessarily dependent upon credentials, noting that previously, in corporate health care, only physicians could be considered for the position of hospital CEO. Later, it was determined that administrators were often more effective CEOs, physicians frequently did not have the management skills necessary for the position. Currently more physicians were obtaining the training necessary to be successful CEOs, but credentials such as a doctoral degree were no longer considered necessary to hospital administration.
She acknowledged that much of the faculty felt strongly about academic credentials, but said that while the Trustees respected their opinion, they felt that the credentials might not be the most important aspect of a candidate. The Board believed that familiarity with the State of Florida, the city, and area businesses might be of more importance. Although the Trustees had received negative feedback regarding the possibility of considering local and regional candidates, they would not want to rule out such an option.
Trustee Halverson agreed, stating that the Board should not negate viable candidates. He did not feel it would be wise to exclude candidates by establishing specific qualifications such as previous experience as a university president. Trustee Douglas concurred, responding that the qualifications should not be so restrictive that the Board would be too limited.
Mr. Baker indicated that what he'd heard from the Trustees was in accordance with what he'd heard from faculty and staff. Chair Thompson observed that the transition committee had discussed the importance of being inclusive. She announced that the open forums with faculty, staff, and the community would be scheduled in January to begin the process. Mr. Baker informed the group that he would complete the written job description soon, and he expected to have a first sense of the prospective candidates by the end of February. He said he would need a lot of time from the search committee in March. He anticipated having a finalist in April with the search concluding in May, with the new presidency beginning around July or August. Dr. Bowen recommended holding separate meetings for faculty, staff, students, and community members to garner their input. It was suggested that Karen Stone arrange the meetings.
Chair Thompson asked that any suggestions for community contacts for Mr. Baker be forwarded to the Board. She apologized to those participating by phone for the length of the meeting and thanked everyone for their involvement, wishing them a happy holiday. The meeting was adjourned.

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! We went for a Lambo-on-Lambo matchup last time, with the Espada taking the win over the Murcielago, and that means we need to give equal billing to Italy's rival PCH Superpower, Great Britain. And, just to make things more interesting, we're not going to have any British Leyland products!
Looking for a James Bond Aston Martin? Of course you are, but you're not one of those run-with-the-herd types who gets seduced by gadgets and impulse-buys a project DB5. No, you watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service for the 19th time and impulse-buy this 1968 Aston Martin DBS. What are the first words that come to mind when you see this fine British automobile? I mean, after "basket case" and "burn victim," that is? Exactly: Beautiful car. Even sitting in a dirt lot in California's
Meth Gold Country, where it spends every winter beneath a layer of snow and every summer baking in the relentless high-altitude sun, even though it's what the seller himself describes as "barely a rolling chassis," this Aston is still a great-looking car. This one will need an engine and transmission, but is that even a challenge? You've got the world's economy collapsing, buddy- desperate sellers will give you anything from a Toyota 1JZGTE to this Countach drivetrain, for next to nothing! Then you just need to fix the interior, body, suspension, electrical system, brakes, and… well, you get the picture. Thanks to Jon for the tip!
You like the Aston Martin, but you know you'd get sick of the Bond jokes once you finished it? Yeah, even though you'd be 92 years old by that point, the Bond jokes would get tiresome. What you need is a product of the illustrious Rootes Group, Chrysler's henchmen on the Continent, and we don't mean any damn Simca or Hillman here. No, we're talking Humber now, the class of the British Rootes lineup, and we've found us this nice 1965 Humber Super Snipe up in Canada. It failed to sell at 700 bucks, so you should be able to snag it for a few cases of Moosehead. It runs, even… well, actually, it "fires right up right away," but that means
a tiny part most of the journey is already done! There's some rust "just starting" in the usual spots, but how bad could that be? It's a good-looking car with a big six-cylinder (and room for an even bigger one) with that hard-to-find Anglo-Detroit styling, for dirt cheap- what are you waiting for? Thanks to Armand Bengle for the tip!

The rest of the world was asleep as China grew to become a goliath in the rare earth industry. It took the rest of the world 20 years to wake up to the realization that the future of high technology could be in the hands of this one supplier. While there may be ample rare earth elements in the earth's crust, the challenge is in locating reserves worth mining and putting into place the infrastructure and processes necessary to mine and process them.
To Buy The Copy Of This Report visit: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/rare-earth-metal-market-shares-strategies-and-forecasts-worldwide-2011-to-2017
China produces 96 percent of the world's rare earth metals. Industrialized countries have realized that with a monopoly position, comes responsibility. China reduced its second-half rare earth metal export quota for the minerals by 72 percent in July 2010. It is now further restricting exports Repercussions and strategic implications are likely if rare earth elements supply were to be disrupted. .Actions by China have drawn criticism from U.S. lawmakers and officials in Japan and Germany.
After discovering a potential site and conducting a feasibility study, this type of mining operation requires permits, financing, building of infrastructure. Infrastructure includes roads, railways. The acquisition of mining technology, transportation for the materials, making mining machinery available, and processing of the raw materials is difficult.
To Read The Complete Report with TOC Kindly Visit: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/14778
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, "All of these steps to rebuild the industry outside China could take up to ten years. In the meantime, China has a huge lead in educating engineers and scientists and in all aspects of the rare earth metal industry. This is a topic that has been neglected in the US and the western world until now." It has not been glamorous or interesting to professors, universities, and most of all students. It is set to become more significant in many countries.

|Version 8 (modified by bowtie, 8 years ago) (diff)
Icons DEBUG and Translations DRAFT
or some sort of Conformance and all the bit's I have missed so far :)
Padre::Plugin::Cookbook Recipe-05 DRAFT
This page compleats Padre::Plugin::Cookbook series, It is just meant to be an aid, with a suggested layout and some ideas to speed you along, enjoy.
- Unlike the previous recipes which have covered, Plug-ins with dialogs, this is more concerned, with conformance, playing nice with Padre. Padre::Plugin::CookBook see trunk
- You may find this helpful, see: Download Padre from Repository
The following is as a result of analysing Plugins for this page.
The examples here, where relevant will build upon Cookbook, some relate to other Plug-ins as it is more pertinent to use them,
Initial thoughts, of what a Padre::Plugin should provide, critiques welcome.
Plug-in Compliance
Things to do to make your Plug-in Load
- Plugin Manager can load plugin
- For compliance you will need to have a version in your Padre::Plugin::Name.pm.
our $VERSION = '0.01';
- For compliance you will need to have a version in your Padre::Plugin::Name.pm.
- Plugin must declare it's Interfaces, all Padre Modules should be included
- Don't forget to include the following sub.
- Use the version number of Padre you are developing against, as shown below.
####### # Define Padre Interfaces required ####### sub padre_interfaces { return ( # Default, required 'Padre::Plugin' => '0.84', # used by Main, About and by Padre::Plugin::FormBuilder 'Padre::Wx' => 0.84, 'Padre::Wx::Main' => '0.86', 'Padre::Wx::Role::Main' => 0.84, 'Padre::Logger' => '0.84', ); }
- draft needs tiding up
12:05 bowtie Alias_, Padre::Plugin POD, padre_interfaces, lists Padre modules and version numbers. 12:05 bowtie 1, is it upto date 12:05 bowtie 2, it appairs to me you only need, 'Padre::Plugin' => 0.nn, 12:05 Alias_ You need to declare everything you use 12:05 Alias_ So if you use Padre::Logger, you need to declare that 12:05 Alias_ If you do $plugin->main->some_method you need to do Padre::Wx::Main 12:05 Alias_ etc 12:06 Alias_ You declare the parts of Padre that you use 12:06 Alias_ So when we break compatibility in one part of Padre, ALL the plugins that use it aren't loaded, but ONLY the plugins that use it are disabled 12:07 bowtie Alias_, but plugins still work and don't through any errors or warnings at present 12:07 Alias_ You THINK they work 12:07 Alias_ They MIGHT work 12:07 Alias_ But you can't know that 12:07 Alias_ This is about failure modes 12:07 Alias_ We have a choice about how we want plugins to fail 12:08 Alias_ 1. Always have every plugin load, wait for each one to do something illegal in Padre and blow up, leaving it half-loaded or in some unknown state and maybe crashing PAdre 12:08 Alias_ 2. Disable some plugins due to "compatibility" which really will still work, just in case one was using the specific part you changed 12:09 Alias_ In the first case, we have unknown and uncontrolled impact, and random side effects, any of which are potentially disasterous 12:09 Alias_ In the second case, plugin authors need to check they still work, bump the plugin's dependency hash past the change, and do a simple incremental release 12:10 Alias_ The second is much more responsible, and much safer when there's no firewall between the plugins and the core 12:10 Alias_ Firefox doesn't even give THAT much leeway 12:10 Alias_ Every plugin is automatically disabled, until they SPECIFICALLY test they still work 12:10 Alias_ We are at least doing piece-meal disable on a per class basis 12:10 Alias_ Which is more cpan friendly 12:11 bowtie Alias_, ok, so the the the modules version will be that of the Padre version it was created against, hence all module version numbers should be the same? 12:12 Alias_ Usually yes 12:12 Alias_ But someone might have checked that one specific class hasn't changed in the place we care about further back 12:13 Alias_ Or one plugin might depend on another plugin 12:13 Alias_ And so on 12:13 bowtie Alias_, I will add this to cookbook wiki then, ok 12:13 Alias_ But USUALLY they will all be the same 12:13 bowtie Alias_, the POD shows diffrent versions 12:13 Alias_ Well, it IS theoretically possible 12:15 bowtie Alias_, so hidden some whare in your brain is an padre-plugin api version v padre version numbers then :) 12:15 Alias_ api version is the same 12:15 Alias_ Padre::Plugin is just another class that the plugin "depends on" 12:16 bowtie Alias_, from POD, Padre::Plugin - Padre plug-in API 2.2 12:16 Alias_ oh, that 12:16 Alias_ That's mostly just a way of mentally marking time 12:16 Alias_ It's not really any kind of official thing 12:16 bowtie Alias_, yes it's confuses me 12:17 Alias_ Basically it just says "We've completely rewritten it twice, and made some big additions twice since then" 12:17 Alias_ It's for humans, not machines 12:18 Alias_ A bit like Padre::Task 2.0 12:18 bowtie Alias_, on reflection I got that, but I don't know what the padre version was then, and if I use that version will a plugin be back compatable 12:19 Alias_ You don't have to 12:19 Alias_ You just say the most recent version of Padre you are SURE that the plugin works with 12:19 Alias_ And Padre itself tracks compatibility for you 12:19 bowtie Alias_, I developed against :) 12:20 Alias_ our $COMPATIBLE = '0.43'; 12:20 bowtie oops i -> ie 12:20 Alias_ See that? 12:20 Alias_ That's in Padre::Plugin 12:20 Alias_ So at a guess, the last time I broke compatibility for ALL plugins was likely 2.0 landing 12:20 bowtie Alias_, POD shows 0.29 12:20 Alias_ Which means 2.0 probably arrived around about 0.43 12:23 bowtie Alias_, ca I do perl dev -t Class::Name, Class::Name2 12:23 Alias_ Nope 12:23 bowtie only one :( 12:25 bowtie Alias_, all modules used by a Plugin that are not part of Padre core should be in sub plugin_disable 12:26 bowtie even if required 12:26 Alias_ All plugin modules should be 12:26 Alias_ Don't unload third party modules 12:26 Alias_ You have no idea if anything else needs them 12:27 bowtie Alias_, you mean Mouse for example 12:27 Alias_ right 12:27 Alias_ Only unload the plugin's own modules 12:29 bowtie Alias_, ok if a Plugin over loads sub plugin_icon 12:30 * azawawi home & 12:35 Alias_ You can overload pretty much anything you like 12:36 bowtie Alias_, you are so happy it must be your un-Birthday again :), thanks
- Some Plugin will require a plugin_enable method,
- Why because it's using an external resource, which is not being picked up via perl (M::I).
- You can see this method has only been enabled for Ubuntu, it needs more os file locations adding.
######### # We need plugin_enable # as we have an external dependancy ######### sub plugin_enable { my $pdflatex_exists = 0; # ToDo add other os locations # Ubuntu -> /usr/bin/ my @directories = qw( /usr/bin/ ); find( sub { if ( $_ eq 'pdflatex' ) { $pdflatex_exists = 1; } }, @directories ); return $pdflatex_exists; }
From Padre::Plugin::LaTeX
Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck dose not need this as it depends upon Text::Aspell which won't install with out Aspell files being present.
- Registered_documents
- only if you have them
sub registered_documents { 'application/x-latex' => 'Padre::Document::LaTeX', 'application/x-bibtex' => 'Padre::Document::BibTeX',; }
- only if you have them
From Padre::Plugin::LaTeX
- Plugin can be loaded and unloaded repeatedly
- Don't forget to include the following sub.
sub plugin_disable { .... }
- Don't forget to include the following sub.
- Fail: Padre POD viewer displays an error
- Poor: Fail < Poor < Min
- Min, contains: NAME, AUTHOR, LICENCE
- acceptable: Min < acceptable < Good
- Good, contains: VERSION, BUGS AND LIMITATIONS, DEPENDENCIES. Passes xt/pod.t and xt/podcoverage.t for all Plugin files.
This is cool
