Duval County nears 100 homicides in 2012
DUVAL COUNTY – Duval County has hit nearly 100 homicides this year. The next killing will put Duval County at 100 for 2012. That's more in this decade than any previous year.
In February only one person was killed in Jacksonville, but in March, May, July, September and November there were ten or more murders or homicides in the county. The numbers for domestic murders are up, and murder-suicides have increased.
Family and friends of the 95th homicide victim of the year gathered for a vigil Thursday night. They remembered Telia Toalton who was killed by her boyfriend, Prince Sanders in her Riverside home.
"We'll see how I do, but so far so good. I've got to keep it together for the kids," said Telia's sister Kishrondra Petruska.
"The numbers I'm concerned about are the murder numbers. Last year at this time, we were 69. This year we're 83. So we're up 14 murders, and that is a concern," said Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford.
Sheriff Rutherford told Channel 4 by phone that he believes continual cuts to staff will eventually catch up to law enforcement efforts.
Channel 4 Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson agrees.
"Because when you cut officers, take officers off the streets, the worker bees, the men and women that run to danger, to help prevent, you're eventually going to see an impact, a major impact simply because they won't have the resources to be able to properly do the job that they could do," said Jefferson.
"Several years ago, I told this community, you give me resources, and we'll drive the crime down in this community and we did," Rutherford said. "We brought on 130 police. I now have fewer police positions today than I had in 2003, so that has an impact."
Homicides dropped every year from 2007, when there were 152. There were 90 in 2011 and 99 this year.

The chair of the U.S. Senate committee investigating a blast that leveled several city blocks of the small town of West, Texas, announced Thursday that the United States Department of Labor will cite the West Fertilizer Company for 24 major safety violations that led to the April 17 explosion at the plant.
That explosion killed 15 people and destroyed homes in the area, causing millions of dollars in damage.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has levied a $118,300 fine against the plant for the violations, which includes exposing workers to ammonium nitrate -- ammonium nitrate is the compound that is believed to have ignited and caused the explosion at the plant.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
OSHA violations include unsafe handling and storage of ammonium nitrate; misplaced labeling of tanks; failure to pressure test hoses; inadequate valves; lack of precautionary safety valves; failure to have emergency response plan; lack of fire extinguishers, and also a number of violations for lack of safety plans, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, said during a conference call Thursday morning.
After learning about the safety violations, Boxer described the West fertilizer plant as "an accident waiting to happen."
Boxer: Government Shutdown Impacting Investigation
The citations were issued on Wednesday, but due to the government shutdown the violations were not able to be revealed at that time. Boxer said she held the Thursday conference call to share the latest developments with members of the media.
"I think this explosion should wake some people up," Boxer said during the call. "Right now, God forbid if there was another explosion somewhere. We have the Chemical Safety Board almost entirely on furlough, the EPA is more than 90-percent shutdown, OSHA is furloughed, even the Nuclear Regulatory Committee is mostly shut down."
Boxer said further investigation is on hold due to the shutdown, but that all of the citations are for items authorities believe should be standard operating procedures in chemical plants.
"I do think it's important to ask the people, your senators for example, why they think shutting down the government is good for the people of Texas? And why it's good that investigations have been stopped in their tracks? And how they feel about more inspectors?" Boxer said.
In July, Boxer outlined her plan for the safer storage of ammonium nitrate following the deadly explosion in Texas.
"I made a pledge to the families and I'm not going to stop until there are more protections in place to prevent chemical disasters like the one in West, Texas," Boxer said in July at a news conference. "There's a lot of things we can't control, you all know that, you can't control a lot of things. We can control this. You have the information, you know what has to be done and it has to be stored in a separate facility when it's present in such large quantities, and be protected from fire, and then people will be protected. It's not rocket science here."

Korey Harris' time in Morgantown has gone from bad to worse to, reportedly, over thanks to a rather serious incident yesterday.
According to WV Metro News, the West Virginia defensive lineman was arrested Friday on a charge of first-degree armed robbery. While head coach Dana Holgorsen has yet to comment on the player's status, the television station noted that Harris' name has been removed from the football program's online roster.
Additionally, a school spokesperson stated that "[w]e have no comment on individuals who aren't with the West Virginia football program."
The incident that apparently led to Harris' dismissal occurred July 12, with the details as follows:
…police said Harris and two others entered a Sturgis Street home and held two residents at gunpoint.
A relative said one of the victims recognized Harris, who was wearing his WVU-issued sweatpants with the No. 96 on them. That victim reportedly told police all three intruders were armed.
To repeat, Harris was allegedly part of an armed robbery while wearing his WVU-issued sweatpants with the No. 96 on them.
Harris was already suspended from the program in April for violating unspecified team rules.
In 2012, Harris appeared in 11 games as a freshman.

Dynamic axial load carrying capacity
Bearings with integral flanges on both inner and outer rings can support axial loads in addition to radial loads. The axial load carrying capacity is determined by the ability of the sliding surfaces of the roller end/flange contact to support loads. It is also influenced by the division of the rings and the type of lubrication. Operating temperature and heat transfer from the bearing also play a part.
Guideline values for the permissible axial load which can be applied to single row cylindrical roller bearings can be obtained from
Fap = C0/(40b)
Fap = C0/(40b)
|maximum permissible axial load [kN]
|basic static load rating (→ contact SKF) [kN]
|factor for mode of machine operation (table)
The values of the permissible axial load Fap obtained from the equation are valid for continuously acting constant axial loads and grease lubrication. Higher values can be allowed if oil lubrication is used. In case of doubt, please contact the SKF application engineering service.

Make sure the host meets the minimum hardware configurations supported by ESXi 5.0.
To install and use ESXi 5.0, your hardware and system resources must meet the following requirements:
Supported server platform. For a list of supported platforms, see the VMware Compatibility Guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
ESXi 5.0 will install and run only on servers with 64-bit x86 CPUs.
ESXi supports a broad range of x64 multicore processors. For a complete list of supported processors, see the VMware compatibility guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
ESXi requires a minimum of 2GB of physical RAM. VMware recommends 8GB of RAM to take full advantage of ESXi features and run virtual machines in typical production environments.
To support 64-bit virtual machines, support for hardware virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD RVI) must be enabled on x64 CPUs.
One or more Gigabit or 10Gb Ethernet controllers. For a list of supported network adapter models, see the VMware Compatibility Guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
Any combination of one or more of the following controllers:
SCSI disk or a local, non-network, RAID LUN with unpartitioned space for the virtual machines.
For Serial ATA (SATA), a disk connected through supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA controllers. SATA disks will be considered remote, not local. These disks will not be used as a scratch partition by default because they are seen as remote.
ESXi 5.0 supports installing on and booting from the following storage systems:
SATA disk drives. SATA disk drives connected behind supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA controllers.
Supported SAS controllers include:
Supported on-board SATA include:
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives. Supported for installing ESXi 5.0 and for storing virtual machines on VMFS partitions.
USB devices. Supported for installing ESXi 5.0. For a list of supported USB devices, see the VMware Compatibility Guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.
vSphere 5.0 supports booting ESXi hosts from the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). With UEFI you can boot systems from hard drives, CD-ROM drives, or USB media. Network booting or provisioning with VMware Auto Deploy requires the legacy BIOS firmware and is not available with UEFI.
ESXi can boot from a disk larger than 2TB provided that the system firmware and the firmware on any add-in card that you are using support it. See the vendor documentation.
Changing the boot type from legacy BIOS to UEFI after you install ESXi 5.0 might cause the host to fail to boot. In this case, the host displays an error message similar to: Not a VMware boot bank. Changing the host boot type between legacy BIOS and UEFI is not supported after you install ESXi 5.0.
Installing ESXi 5.0 requires a boot device that is a minimum of 1GB in size. When booting from a local disk or SAN/iSCSI LUN, a 5.2GB disk is required to allow for the creation of the VMFS volume and a 4GB scratch partition on the boot device. If a smaller disk or LUN is used, the installer will attempt to allocate a scratch region on a separate local disk. If a local disk cannot be found the scratch partition, /scratch, will be located on the ESXi host ramdisk, linked to /tmp/scratch. You can reconfigure /scratch to use a separate disk or LUN. For best performance and memory optimization, VMware recommends that you do not leave /scratch on the ESXi host ramdisk.
Due to the I/O sensitivity of USB and SD devices the installer does not create a scratch partition on these devices. As such, there is no tangible benefit to using large USB/SD devices as ESXi uses only the first 1GB. When installing on USB or SD devices, the installer attempts to allocate a scratch region on an available local disk or datastore. If no local disk or datastore is found, /scratch is placed on the ramdisk. You should reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent datastore following the installation.
In Auto Deploy installations, the installer attempts to allocate a scratch region on an available local disk or datastore. If no local disk or datastore is found /scratch is placed on ramdisk. You should reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent datastore following the installation.
For environments that boot from a SAN or use Auto Deploy, it is not necessary to allocate a separate LUN for each ESXi host. You can co-locate the scratch regions for many ESXi hosts onto a single LUN. The number of hosts assigned to any single LUN should be weighed against the LUN size and the I/O behavior of the virtual machines.

Post No. 4
This article is not about Celine Dion's ancestors…
It's about Father Adélard Chaumont and Father Joseph Chaumont who were born in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines.
I just knew I had to stop doing the dishes and go see Paul-Émile Chaumont.
Monsieur Chaumont had this picture. I had to take a picture of that picture. I did not know why but I took it. In fact, I love old pictures, but I did not know what I would discover. The picture is fuzzy, but monsieur Chaumont's picture is clearer.
Doris posted this photo on her Website Sunday morning…
Then I started thinking.
They are the children of Mathilde Therrien and Calixte Euchariste Chaumont. Two missionaries are sitting in the front row with their older sister Mathilde Chaumont on the left and Calixte II on the right. Their parents are dead otherwise they would be in the picture.
Here is Father Joseph Chaumont. This time he is in Manitoba probably in the 1920s…
The caption said that Father Joseph Chaumont is behind the nun…
The picture was taken from this Website.
This is a mosaic sent to me by Yvon Lauzon last year. We find Father Joseph Chaumont once again.
Joseph Chaumont O.M.I. 1892
The year is when he became a priest. This is his brother Adélard.
Adélard Chaumont O.M.I. 1886
Here is once again the old picture I took a picture of.
What I know is that Calixte Chaumont and Mathilde Therrien had these children: Joseph, Adélard, Calixte, Napoléon, Moïse, Clodomir, Mathilde, Azélie et Léontine. There is also another Joseph born in 1860 but who died in 1867.
In 1881, this is what we see in the census record.

Mathilde is a widow. She lives in Ste-Anne-des-Plaines with her sons Calixte, Napoléon, Adélard, Joseph and her two daughters Azélie and Léontine. I found the Chaumonts in the 1901 Census again in Ste-Anne-des-Plaines.

After watching numerous videos on YouTube, I decided to create a 4x4 gaming table topper for my home. I am learning as I go and have never done anything like this.

I did what I reckon most of us do, and started research. Now the problem I've got is I probably know too much! At least enough to know I haven't got a clue.
This took me back to a conversation I had with my step dad. It was about developing in art, how the only way, in his opinion,

Amsterdam is a city with a lot of history. The city was built in the 13th century at the Zuiderzee and by the IJ. The city is known for its beautiful canals.

dang i just wrote a comment and it got erased!ReplyDelete
Well, here goes again:ReplyDelete
great stuff, joe! i love wut u did with the crate! and i enjoy the important stats which will also help if we get a book and flip thru it in 5 years...
as I was saying before, before my web browser played shtick on me, I was saying how maybe have a box on the side of website where ppl can fill in their thoughts of what to draw, lines or cute ideas , and they have 20 minutes after a game to send it in (u would receive email of their thoughts) and u can give a shoutout to ppl whose ideas u use...
i wrote this a whole lot better in my first post. argh!
(wouldnt it be funny if after the season u charged ppl for just reading the site? okay, this post absolutely sucks now that i had to try and copy things that flowed out of the me the first time
well joe love it again your great!!!!! love the target on ollie put main next to him next time lol GO METS and to a summer of lots of fun important baseballReplyDelete
Yes! Here's to a great summer! ThanksReplyDelete
Eli, Thanks for the suggestion. But believe it or not I get about 20 emails a day with suggestions. I do appreciate them and sometimes they spark an idea. I'm fine with this.
Here's the thing...this is my personal journal and they are my thoughts and points of view. I started doing this for me.
I feel if I start doing requests and taking other ideas in the end the book won't have my point of view.
Maybe we can do something special this summer with a contest or something where someone can submit a cartoon idea and I will draw the one I pick as a winner. I will send them the original.
I'll definitely give it thought.
Thanks for the idea and by all means keep 'em comin' bro!

The Gutai Art Association, a dynamic group of artists that formed in the Hansion region in 1954 post-war Japan, re-envisioned a social approach to art making. They lasted until 1972, with works presented via performance, exhibitions in the environment, and galleries, as well as in department stores. But what would it have been like to witness the activity during their formation and watch these interpreters present ideas that paralleled their experience in a forming democratic nation?
Gutai: Splendid Playground, the first full spectrum retrospective in North America landed at the Guggenheim Museum on February 15—a great time to observe this avant-garde's movement and spot clues that add up to a dynamic visual rebellion. You'll take away a clearer perspective and keen interest in applying their initiative to your daily life.
The Gutai's first presentation was a thin publication of black and white reproductions of artwork from the original 17 members in 1955. Moving forward both with the creation of work and the writing of the Gutai Manifesto in 1956, by the founder Yoshihara Jiro, a governance for interacting with material and chance was established. "With our present awareness," the manifesto states, "the arts we have known up to now appear to us in general to be fakes fitted out with a tremendous affectation." At its inception, this movement constructed the modern Japanese creative dialect and established a new platform for artists to "make something that had not been made before." Gutai, translated, means concreteness, and the word is formed by the characters for "tool" and "body." The meaning shaped the perspectives of these avant-garde artists and the word's character construction created a framework for them to "put the greatest importance on all daring steps which lead to an undiscovered world." This was a concrete desire to set their spirits free: "Keeping the life of the material alive also means bringing the spirit alive, and lifting up the spirit means leading the material up to the height of the spirit."
One artist, Kazuo Shiraga, used aggressive forms of force translated across paper and the ground. He hung from ropes above surfaces covered in pools of paint. Using his feet, he skid-out paintings with unusual composition balance. They look like the aftermath of a tribal ritual. With the earth work and performance piece Challenging Mud (1955), he wrestled with a mixture of wall plaster, cement, and mud. The work results in a photographic record of a fight until exhaustion—a definitive resistance performance piece.
Saburo Murakami lead charges through surfaces with Passing Through (1965) (pictured), a performative painting made by launching his body through a stretched layers of rice paper on multiple frames. These were lined up to form a blocked pathway. Inspired by his young son's temper tantrums, Murakami's action left traces that transformed emotional flailing into a manifestation of heroism—like an American small-town football team crashing threw a pep rally banner. Failure only exists if you believe in it.
With all the cultural and artistic transformations, Jiro Yoshihara sought his own form of "satori", the enlightenment of Zen. With his Circle (1971), he painted out a circular form on a colored canvas. Yoshihara said he could not manage to paint even one circle with satisfaction—an indication of the difficulty to reach a level of peace and his dedication of pursuit for perfection.
Atsuko Tanaka, one of the few women members of Gutai, reinterpreted her physical relationship to space using thoughtfully drawn, and planned out ideas executed as performance. In one, The Electric Dress (1956), she constructed a sculptural work that covered her entire body. It was composed of electric wiring and light bulbs that pulsed and radiated into a space. Only her hands and eyes were visible from the burqa-like couture gown—think Alexander McQueen meets a Bowery Street light store. She became an illumination of a new circulatory system in exhibition spaces. Another work, that is installed and re-created in the Guggenheim exhibition, Work (Bell) (1955), the challenge becomes for the viewer to understand the perimeters of a space. As a loud bell sounds and it's ringing slowly diminishes, all that remains is an auditory outline that traces the body of the room.
Gutai artists even took to the sky to present exhibitions. With the "International Sky Festival" in 1960, they created reproductions of their drawings and paintings, and incorporated ones from artists outside their immediate community like Lucio Fontana and Alfred Leslie. Set up on the roof of the Takashimaya department store and affixed to balloons, the works slowly rose into the Osaka sky. It's an announcement of freedom from the confines of the exhibition space. The works become part of the vast span of the atmosphere.
The Gutai group's goal was liberation. It challenged compositional beliefs and strayed from the rules of technique. When you view the works, focus on how they are inter-connected and use the spiral-arena of the museum to get amongst the visual philosophies. As you gear up to see the exhibition, make a plan to take part in Ei Arakawa's performance-as-exhibition-tour Concrete Escort I, II, III on March 22 and April 12. The New York–based Japanese performance artist gathers painters, poets, and curators to address Gutai in the present day. You'll be escorted throughout the galleries of the museum—becoming an active participant in the power and dynamic between women and men; singularity and plurality; performance and painting. Liberate yourself in the New Year—reestablish your relationship to works of art on a concrete and primal level. See this exhibition using the 360-degree perspective, then launch out onto 5th Avenue and challenge the currents of our constructed reality.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (German, Aschaffenburg 1880 - 1938 Davos)
Self-Portrait as a Soldier, 1915

Listen to a podcast about this artwork here
Painted in 1915, Kirchner's Self-Portrait as a Soldier documents the artist's fear that the war would destroy his creative powers and in a broader sense symbolizes the reactions of the artists of his generation who suffered the kind of physical and mental damage Kirchner envisaged in this painting.
A photo of Kirchner in his studio, wearing a soldier's uniform1 probably dates to 1915, when he volunteered to serve as a driver in the artillery in order to avoid being drafted for less desirable duties. The photograph shows him confident and relaxed, standing at ease and holding a cigarette in his right hand. Soon after this moment, however, Kirchner was declared unfit for service (due to general weakness and lung problems) and was sent to recuperate in Halle on the Saale. He painted the Self-Portrait as a Soldier during this reprieve; a "metaphorical autobiography," it reveals his unshakeable, almost pathological, fear of the effects of war on himself as an artist and a human being.
In the Oberlin painting Kirchner depicts himself in the uniform of the Mansfelder Feldartillerieregiment Nr. 75 in Halle/Saale. His face is drawn, a cigarette hangs loosely from between his lips, and his eyes remain unseeing and empty, without pupils and with the iris reflecting the blue of his uniform. The lost right hand and bloody stump stand for a terrible litany of losses: of his ability to paint, and of his creativity, artistic vision, and inspiration. In a larger sense, Kirchner also expresses anxiety for his potency and manhood.
There is little compositional connection between the artist and the nude woman seen behind him; earlier self-portraits, on the other hand--the Self-Portrait at Dawn, a lithograph of 1906, or Self-Portrait with Model, an oil painting of 1907 2 --are dominated by an erotic tension between the model and the artist. In those works the artist paints confidently while smoking a pipe. In the Oberlin self-portrait, the model and canvas function as quotations from a past that had become completely irrelevant in the face of the artist's mutilation.
Another important self-portrait from this period, The Drinker, was painted in 1915 in Kirchner's Berlin studio, before he was sent to Halle.3 This self-portrait conveys Kirchner's despair about his situation, a despair that turned into horror in the Oberlin painting.
On the intervention of his commanding officer, Hans Fehr, a former lay member of Die Brücke and a friend of Emil Nolde, Kirchner was sent to a sanatorium at Königstein in Taunus, where he spent 1916. The artist's weakened condition, exacerbated by alcoholism and drug abuse, failed to improve, and in 1917 Kirchner was sent to Davos for further treatment. He later was moved to the Staffelalp in Davos/Frauenkirch, where he created numerous woodcuts, portraits, and landscapes. In October of 1917 he began to suffer from paralysis of the hands and feet, for which he sought a cure in Kreutzlingen in Switzerland. Kirchner's nightmarish vision in the Oberlin self-portrait seems eerily prescient of this condition.4
Stylistically, the Oberlin self-portrait is comparable to Kirchner's Berlin street scenes of 1913-15, in which he employed a similarly "primitive" and sculptural manner with broken, angular lines and short crosshatched brushstrokes, indicative of his increasing interest in woodcuts.5 In 1919, after Kirchner settled in Frauenkirch near Davos, his style became calmer and more monumental in keeping with his new subject matter, the alpine landscape and its inhabitants.
Kirchner continued to work productively after his retreat to Davos. Yet the fears expressed in the Oberlin self-portrait were realized to the extent that his mental and physical health were shattered and, in order to be able to work, he remained a recluse. Kirchner's experiences in the war certainly hastened his untimely death.6

Work (C) Ingeborg and Dr. Wolfgang Henze-Ketterer, Wichtrach/Bern.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a draftsman,7 a printmaker,8 a painter,9 sculptor, and photographer;10 he also designed textiles and rugs, wrote diaries11 and theoretical essays on his art under the pseudonym Louis de Marsalle, and engaged in a voluminous correspondence.12 He was a dominant figure in the German Expressionist movement.
Kirchner was born on 6 May 1880 in Aschaffenburg to an upper-middle-class family. He studied architecture at the Technical University of Saxony in Dresden, following his father's wishes, and then enrolled at the Technische Hochschule (Technical School) in the Lehr- und Versuchatelier für Angewandte und Freie Kunst (Teaching and Experimental Studio for Applied and Fine Art) in Munich. There he was exposed to a variety of influences: the exoticism and primitivism of Art Nouveau, the art of Vasilij Kandinsky and his Phalanx group, Post-Impressionism, drawings by Rembrandt, and prints by Dürer. In 1904 Kirchner returned to Dresden to continue his study of architecture and began to paint with Erich Heckel. Within two years the two artists, along with Fritz Bleyl, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Emil Nolde had formed Die Brücke, an association that lasted until 1913.
From 1913 until 1915 Kirchner painted large street scenes of Berlin showing elegant and colorful young women caught up in the nervous, hectic activities of city life. In these Expressionist images, Kirchner abandoned his earlier fluid Art Nouveau style for the quick, broken crosshatchings and angular brushstrokes of his mature work.
The war years changed his artistic production and changed his life (see Main Text above). Partially cured, he settled on the Längmatte in 1918, and five years later on the Wildboden at the entrance of the Sertig-valley near Frauenkirch. His companion and executrix, Erna Schilling, took care of his Berlin studio.
Kirchner went on to have major exhibitions in Berlin (1921), Basel (1923), Berne (1933), and Detroit (1937). But from 1926 he suffered from depression, which worsened in 1937 when 639 of his works were confiscated from public collections; thirty-two were included in Hitler's Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition held in Munich. In despair about the political situation in Germany, his physical health, and overwhelming loneliness, Kirchner committed suicide on 15 June 1938.

Technical Data
The paint is applied evenly with visible brushstrokes completely covering the ground. Forms are outlined in black; colors are worked wet-in-wet. The original plain-weave canvas was line, restretched on an ICA-type spring stretcher, and coated with a synthetic varnish in 1956; the back of the lining canvas was treated with an aluminum paint and the edges covered with black tape. This tape has since caused some staining to the perimeter of the original paint surface. Otherwise the painting is in excellent condition, wiht only minor inpainting and fills at the corners and along the top edge. The initials of the artist's signature (E. L.) are visible ony under UV light. Uneven saturation of the present varnish gives a slightly matte appearance to darker tones in the composition.

On sale Saturday - The Canary magazine
PUBLISHED: 09:53 15 November 2012
The latest issue of the The Canary - the official Norwich City Football Club magazine - hits the shelves this weekend.
The Canary is packed full of exclusive interviews and features including the first chat with assistant manager Colin Calderwood and first team coach Paul Trollope.
Chris Hughton's trusted lieutenants talk candidly about their footballing roots and give an insight into the Canaries backroom inner circle.
"Chris Hughton is engrossed in the job and sometimes we need to release a little bit of that pressure off him," said Calderwood, "and whether that is him having the confidence in us to take a training session or whatever, he knows we can get on with it."
Big name summer signing Robert Snodgrass graces The Canary cover and talks about his delight at having finally made the move to Carrow Road following many months of 'will he, won't he?', to now be plying his trade at last in the Premier League.
Other star names in the magazine include Sebastien Bassong and Alexander Tettey, who have both made a significant impact since joining Chris Hughton's men.
Bassong admits he has been very impressed by the Carrow Road roar and is now determined to ensure Premier League survival to repay the fans for their support.
"The supporters are helping us; they're really behind us, and when we need a boost during a game they're playing their part really well and I think we've got to make sure we give them something back," said the French-born Cameroon international
Tettey is also settling in well to life in Norfolk since his switch from Rennes having also joined an acclaimed list of Canaries players to have scored on their debuts.
"You have to be humble and you have to work hard, believe in yourself and just hope for the best, really, because it's tough, really tough to break through," said the Norway international.
The Canary also has an exclusive catch up with chief scout Ewan Chester, who has been charged with developing the Canaries scouting network across Europe.
"I brought my entire scouting department from Birmingham City with me and I've added to that a little bit, so I have nine scouts across the UK and we're on the verge of confirming three more in Europe, which will be the initial move into a European network," said Chester
Also, professional development coach Scott Marshall gives the lowdown on what's happening at the Colney Academy with a spot-light on some of the up-and-coming young Canaries.
And that's not all as there are plenty of competition prizes up for grabs in the On the ball, City section - see if you are one of the faces in the crowd!
If that wasn't enough also included with the magazine is a free A2 size NCFC squad poster.
The Canary goes on sale this Saturday and will be available at the Canaries' offical stores plus shops and newsagents county-wide.

Nested Model Error
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Tracy Witte
posted on Sunday, February 28, 2010 - 11:22 am
I'm doing a CFA with skewed data; therefore, I'm using the MLMV estimator. The 2-factor solution has adequate fit to the data; however, the correlation between the factors is around 0.9. Thus, I'm interested in determining whether the two-factor solution offers any improvement in fit compared to the one-factor solution. My problem is that when I fix the covariance between the factors to "1;" I get an error message stating that the estimated covariance matrix is non-invertible. I don't get this error message when I just run the model with 1 latent variable, so I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my syntax. When I use the DIFFTEST to compare the solution with 1 factor to the solution with 2 factors, I get a message stating that the models aren't nested. Here's my syntax:
MODEL: sdi by m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 m6 m7 m13 m14 m22 m23;
RPP by m2 m15 m17 m20 m21 m25 m26;

Note that you are fixing the covariance to one not the correlation. To test if the correlation is one use the following MODEL command and MODEL test:
MODEL: sdi by m1* m2 m3 m4 m5 m6 m7 m13 m14 m22 m23;
RPP by m2* m15 m17 m20 m21 m25 m26;
sdi WITH rpp (p1);
0 = p1 - 1;
Tracy Witte
posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 9:45 am
I thought that I would want to fix the covariance at 1 to determine if the 2-factor solution has a better fit than the 1-factor solution. Is there an error in my syntax for fixing the covariance at 1? Will using the syntax you provided allow me to compare the model fit of the 1-factor vs. 2-factor solution?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 11:23 am
There is not an error in your syntax but when you fix a parameter to a value that is not its true value, this can result in convergence problems.
The syntax I provided tests that the correlation is one. Because you said the correlation between your factors was .9, I assumed that you wanted to test a correlation of one not a covariance of one.
Tracy Witte
posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 3:49 pm
Thank you so much for your time! What I'm trying to do is compare the fit of a model with 1 latent variable to the fit of a model with 2 latent variables. My understanding is that these models are nested within each other. If I fix the covariance between the latent variables to "1," isn't this equivalent to a model with 1 latent variable?
What I ultimately want to do is a chi-square difference test between the 2-factor and 1-factor models to see if having 2 factors improves model fit. However, I'm not able to get the one-factor model to run...

I think the question is why won't the one-factor model run. Please send the full output and your license number to

Should Linux Take a Lesson From Apple?
Oct 18, 2012 5:00 AM PT
The Secure Boot saga may seem like it's been dragging on forever here in the Linux blogosphere, but the truth is that it's a mere babe in Redmond arms compared with the never-ending Apple v. Samsung drama.
It seems safe to say that most FOSS fans are sick to death of hearing about both of them, of course, but recently the always-insightful team over at TuxRadar posed yet another interesting question. Specifically, "What can Linux really steal from Apple?" was the title of the latest Open Ballot poll posted on the thought-provoking site, and there's no doubt it's provoked a lot of thinking.
"Is it the design aesthetic, or its uncompromising attention to detail?" the TuxRadar team asked. "Or how about its dictatorial approach to development? Or the narrowness of its hardware provision? Or would you like to transplant some of that famous Cupertino idolatry into the free software ecosystem, or simply shroud each Ubuntu release within Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field."
More than two dozen comments appeared in short order on the TuxRadar site; unanimity, however, was harder to find.
'Hang On, That's Ubuntu'
To wit: "A respect for design would be nice," suggested Spanwiches.
Alternatively: "Steve Wozniak -- the only innovative thing Apple really had," offered eages.
Then again: "Nothing!" chimed in Willhem Tell. "Linux for me is freedom of choice. It's about diversity. I can switch between distros and desktop managers. For free.
"Appl is the exact opposite: it's mind numbing 'eat or die,' no choice and costs money," Willhem Tell added.
And again: "1. App[le] store. 2. Disappearing scrollbars. 3. Pretending that your desktop is actually a tablet," quipped Steve Occupations. "Oh hang on, that's Ubuntu."
When Linux Girl broached the subject down at the blogosphere's Walled Garden Cafe, she immediately got an earful.
'Its Public Relations Department'
"Technologically speaking, there's really nothing that Linux can steal from Apple," opined Google+ blogger Linux Rants, for example. "Usually, it's going the other way. While Apple is held up as a bastion of innovation, it's hard to find a feature that they have that wasn't present in Linux long before they incorporated it.
"Apple doesn't innovate," he added. "They take other people's innovations and add a little spit and polish and call it new."
If there were one thing that Linux could stand to steal from Apple, however, "it would be its Public Relations department," Linux Rants suggested.
"Linux has gotten the reputation as a hobbyists' OS that's hard to install and even harder to use," he explained. "This reputation doesn't sync with reality, but it's hard for Linux users and corporations to sell that to the public. Apple PR could really help in that regard, as they'd actually be able to sell something that was real, instead of claimed innovation that's really just dusted-off, 10-year-old ideas."
'Their Graphic Designers'
Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, saw it differently.
"The one thing Apple shows which many Linux developers have known for some time, is that design matters and that engineering is best directed by small groups," Travers offered. "But we really can't steal that since we've known it for some time.
"So, I guess that means the next best thing: steal some of their graphical designers," he concluded. "But leave their technical designers: design-wise, OS X is more or less very unlike Unix."
'There Isn't a Lot to Take'
Alternatively, "Linux needs to take the hint and make sure common tasks work well rather than just worrying about new features," opined consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack. "If the common tasks are easy to do then the whole platform looks better."
Then again, "Apple is primarily a hardware company, and Linux is software," Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien pointed out. "So there isn't a lot to take, I would think.
"And just in terms of software, Apple is the most freedom-limiting company out there, so I certainly would not want Linux to take that from them," O'Brien added.
Indeed, "from Apple? Nothing," agreed Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor. "From its grandchild... many versions, with many app stores all hosting compatible apps."
'The World Should Shun Apple'
"Stealing from Apple? No way," exclaimed blogger Robert Pogson. "We are already dependent on them for CUPS, Safari and WebKit, and they show themselves to be patent trolls.
"I remember using Apple's software in schools a decade ago," Pogson added. "They shipped stuff that crashed hourly and had a viscous networking stack. They 'stole' a Unix core, and now they accuse anyone who has rounded corners on anything."
In short, "the world should shun Apple until they show a little bit of humility at least," he concluded.
'Take the Android Approach'
"If you wanna take something from Apple, take making actual money from desktops, laptops, and tablets," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet advised. "Give companies a way to survive while selling Linux so you can build critical mass."
On the other hand, "GNU/Linux is more like a cultural phenomena than a commercial initiative," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol pointed out.
Still, "companies can use it and make it a commercially viable option," he asserted. "How? Take the Google/Android approach: a great OS, with the lowest price possible (free, in many cases) and customize it to the manufacturer's hardware."
It's Android, in fact, that offers the best example for Linux as a whole, Ebersol concluded.
Follow that example and "GNU/Linux will be a killer OS," Ebersol predicted. "The companies can tinker with the OS to make it awesome and then take advantage of the GNU/Linux ecosystem. Then, GNU/Linux can not only compete with Apple, but gain market share from both Apple and Microsoft."

text: I am interested in attending Concord for several reasons to include time and money. My ultimate goal is to teach college courses and I see that Concord has an EJD as well. Are either the JD or EJD acceptable? Concord is DETC and since it's part of Kaplan, I understand it is regionally accredited as well from what I understand. Most schools require a regionally accreditied terminal degree such as a Phd or Doctorate. Any information is appreciated.
