Ubuntu 11.10--the Oneiric Ocelot--is set to release this week, and we've got release parties!
Join us and celebrate the latest and greatest release of Ubuntu! Release parties are a fantastic opportunity to meet other Ubuntu users face to face.
At Kwartzlab, we'll have a fast repository proxy to help with upgrades, cake, devilled eggs and commemorative collector's CDs!
If there's no party in your area, you should host one! Join the Ubuntu Canada mailing list and let us know where and when your party is. Tell your friends and post on local message boards. We'll help do what we can to announce it to the Canadian Ubuntu community.
To date, there are three teams participating in the Ubuntu Global Jam across the country:
Vancouver will be updating their Unity documentation to 11.10, and will offer an area to socialize over jam.
KW will be starting a project to build a GUI tool to help with packaging. Help with the usual 11.10 installation and upgrade testing will also be available. And we'll order out for pizza, of course.
Montreal's event will be hosted at the Canonical offices in that city. If you find problems with your hardware, you'll be able to talk directly to some of Canonical's Ubuntu developers and support professionals who can help sort it out and get the fixes in.
Canada's Jammin'!
Ubuntu 11.04, "Natty Narwhal" is out!
Tomorrow (Saturday, April 30), there are going to be release parties in Montreal, Toronto and Kitchener. Toronto will have cupcakes. Kitchener will have CDs, a natty narwhal cake and an approx for fast updates.
If all goes well, we'll have a LAN party server up, and we'll be playing some Nexuiz, Teeworlds, Hedge Wars and Armaggetron (amongst others). Tune in on the mailing list or IRC for details!
This Tuesday is our monthly IRC meeting. I'd planned to have the Waterloo Ubuntu Hour this week as well. But a conflict on my usual Wednesday and the fact that April is kind of a busy month in Ubuntu LoCo land conspired together to give me an idea.
How about we hold the IRC meeting in a public place, and allow other Ubuntu people to join in? And we can just hang out afterwards. So that's what we're doing.
Tonight at 7pm I'll be meeting up with Ralph at Kwartzlab for the IRC meeting and then we'll stick around to chat about the release party, politics (undoubtedly), or anything else people want to talk about. You're welcome to join us.

Rhino Shift Issues
My Rhino will not shift out of High gear. The shifter moves freely but will not shift gears. I just finished power washing the Rhino. Would that have done something to it?
Well Andy, there could be several things to cause this problem. I really need a little more info but Im assuming the Rhino will actually move but will not go into low range, etc. The easiest thing to do would be to remove the seats and the center console. This will expose the shift linkage. Pull the shifter through the positions and watch to see that it is indeed moving the entire linkage back to the control arm on the transmission. This will eliminate the control as an issue. If for some reason the shift linkage is unhooked or loose you may need a mechanically-inclined friend to fix this unless you are this person. Otherwise, get a genuine service manual and there are instructions in there for this fix.
Blinking Honda Foreman
I have a 2005 Honda foreman 500 es. I overhauled the motor and now it has no fire to the plug and the electric shift will not work the code on the dash in two bars with three blinks.
OK, find a local dealer and get yourself a service manual. This is the best way to really find all the possible problems with your Hondas electrical system. If I were you I would start in the easiest area possible, and that is the in line fuses. The fuses for the Foreman are under the seat near the battery. Make sure each one is in good condition. Obviously the dash works so make sure every wire connection on the engine that could have been unplugged is back where it belongs. It is going to take a patient and observant set of eyes, but if you just take a deep breath I believe youll find the culprit.
Kawasaki Brute Force Sitting
A 2010 Kawasaki Brute Force has set in garage for a few months. It was very low on fuel. I started it and would idle but not rev up. I put a half tank in it and still the same problem. It will barely rev up then will spit and sputter and bog down like its almost out of fuel. Where should I start to search problem? Was thinking maybe water in the fuel.
There is a possibility that there could be water in the fuel. The simple fix is to drain the fuel tank and the fuel bowl on the carb to eliminate that issue. BUT, it is more likely that after sitting for the extended period of time your once great gas has varnished the jets in the carb and they will need to be cleaned. This is not a difficult task, however, it is a tedious one. We show you how in this Off-road.com article posted just a while back: ATV Carburetor Cleanup.
Torgue Valve
How do you torque the valves on a 1998 Suzuki 250lt 4wd?
Adjusting valves would be the proper terminology, and having a factory service manual is the best way to do this. Setting valves can be a little tricky and each ATV is similar yet different. With the process having several key points that cannot be missed, my suggestion would be to buy a factory authorized service manual and youll have a resource that will forever answer your questions.
Re: Can-Am Unleashes 2008 ATV Lineup
My question is on the 2008 touring ATV. Why is the rear seat designed like this? Is it for comfort or does it help keep the passenger in place
The seat design is this way to not only bring comfort to the passenger but the lip on the front of the seat also gives that passenger a little bit of bite for descents where the driver is caught unaware. This makes the passenger more confident while riding as well.
2005 Polaris Phoenix 250 Manual
I would like to order the manual shop of the 2005 Polaris Phoenix 250.
Thank you!
I do get requests for service manuals quite frequently, but unfortunately I have not set up shop to do so. I merely suggest that each person goes to their local dealer and order the factory service manual to get the best info possible on their machine. If you dont have one nearby, a search in Google can sometimes help you find a location to purchase one, or, in some instances, you might be able to find a PDF version of the manual that you can print.
Hiflite USA Desert ATV Seat
Need the new seat (foam and cover) for a Polaris Sportsman 450, 2007. What is price and how do I order it?
Karen Rhoads
Well Karen, It seems we need to set up shop here at Off-Road.com because we do get so many requests for products. We do not sell these seat covers or seats, but if you contact the number below maybe they can help you out.

ATV Wheel and Tire Size Demystified
For a Yamaha Timber Wolf 250 4x2 1993, the OEM tires are worn out (Front 22x7x10 and Rear 22x10x10). I want to replace with: Front 23x8x10; Rear 24x11x10. Are these too big for the 250?
Ben Cowart
Ben, I would say that in the Timber Wolfs heydays it might be able to handle the oversized tires, but if the engine is stock or worn in the least it could create power-robbing trouble for the beast. I would stay within the stock range unless you have a fresh or modified motor and tranny that can handle the taller and wider tires. Larger tires will just put added stress on a stock engine and transmission.
Yamaha Big Bear 350 Shifting Trouble
I have had my Big Bear for 16 years and bought it with low usage time on it. Its been mainly used for light work around my property, along with plowing snow for a few years. After I run my Big Bear constantly for a couple hours, it will start not going into gear when I shift. If I continue to shift up, it will eventually get into a higher gear (which is too high a gear to start off), then I try to downshift into a lower gear, and continue to get a false neutral. If I let it sit to cool down, then get back on it, it works ok. Any help on where the problem might be would be greatly appreciated.
I would say you are in the early stages of clutch trouble. The clutches will have more grip when cool and slip more as the engine gets progressively warmer, which would keep the ATV from getting into gear. The Big Bear also has a centrifugal clutch, which has wearable pads on it. With the combination of age and general usage I would say a clutch system overhaul is getting closer with each ride. Check the fluid level and condition first, but I bet youll need service soon.
Fuel Hose
We have an 85 350 Honda 4x4 fourtrax. The gas line is hanging down. It still runs, but gas leaks from hose. We can't figure out where the line goes. Thanks for any info.
The fact that fuel leaks from this hose is sometimes a sign of carb trouble and not a misplaced line. The carb has vent lines as well as overflow lines that allow excess fuel to be flushed from the carb. It would be my suggestion to have the carb overhauled to find issue. The needle and seat could be worn enough to allow the fuel to escape.
New Exhaust Question
Hi, I just purchased the penland utility exhaust slip on for my Honda rancher 420 and was wondering if you know if the computer needs to be re-mapped after installation?
The general rule is that when you add an unrestrictive exhaust you will want to also open the airflow from the air box as well. This helps the exhaust perform like you would want instead of just being loud and overly obnoxious. When you do these things it is best to richen the fuel mixture. This keeps the proper amount of fuel coming to the engine and eliminates the possibility of running lean, which will destroy the motor. So to answer your question I would say yes, you need to properly adjust the fuel delivery for your Rancher.
The world of ATV mechanics is changing so rapidly and without the help of a friend who knows a friend it can be tough for the backyard garage to work on these machines. But if you look at what you have and buy the proper service manual the majority of your problems can be handled in the pages of that manual. Granted, you will not have the super systems that are needed to get into the brain of most of these machines, but a deep breath and some searching could lend to a fix that could otherwise cost hundreds.
Have an ATV or side-by-side tech question for the Answerman? Send an e-mail with your name, vehicle year, model and a detailed description of the problem to [email protected].

Global stocks rose Wednesday after earnings from Apple Inc. and other U.S. companies easily beat expectations, providing a distraction from the economic and political turbulence in Europe over its debt crisis.
Apple again proved skeptics wrong by reporting blowout iPhone sales. The world's most valuable company sold 35 million iPhones in January through March, nearly twice as many as in the same period a year earlier. By beating expectations on iPhone sales, Apple comfortably beat analysts' earnings and revenue forecasts.
"Whilst Apple might not be a bellwether for economic activity generally it is probably fair to say that it is an important confidence indicator for the market as a whole, so these figures will help sentiment today," said Gary Jenkins, managing director at Swordfish Research.
In Europe, Germany's DAX was up 1.3 percent at 6,676 while the CAC-40 in France rose 1.7 percent to 3,222. The euro was also buoyed, trading 0.1 percent higher at $1.3215.
European earnings statements were less upbeat — though Electrolux and LM Ericsson posted strong gains, Peugeot Citroen reported a sharp drop in sales in Europe and Credit Suisse profits fell.
The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares underperformed after figures showed the U.K. economy unexpectedly shrank 0.2 percent in the first quarter of the year, putting it back in recession — it was up only 0.3 percent at 5,725.
Wall Street was poised for gains on the open, with Dow futures up 0.5 percent at 13,027 and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.7 percent at 1,380.
Despite the cheer provided by Apple, as well as companies like AT&T, markets are likely to remain nervous over developments in Europe's debt crisis.
Though a Dutch bond auction on Tuesday helped soothe market fears, investors remain edgy about how the crisis will develop over the coming weeks with general elections taking place in Greece and France. The Netherlands is also expected to go to the polls later in the year after its government collapsed on Monday over a failure to agree on an austerity package.
Later Wednesday, the focus is likely to shift to the latest policy statement from the Federal Reserve, which could well prompt traders to revise their expectations of how long U.S. borrowing costs will remain at their super-low level.
"There is risk that the Fed's economic projections will appear more optimistic than those in January," said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1 percent to close at 9,561.01, but South Korea's Kospi fell marginally to 1,961.98.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.2 percent to 20,646.29 and the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.8 percent to 2,406.81.
Oil prices tracked equities higher, with benchmark oil for June delivery up 58 cents at $104.13 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Lees-McRae freshman Valerie Hickey notched two singles in a five-run fifth of game two while LMC earned a split against Millersville, 0-10 and 6-3, in nonconference softball action Thursday afternoon at LMC Softball Field in Banner Elk, N.C.
The Marauders (8-6) used strong pitching and three innings of three or more runs to notch a 10-0 win in game one. The Bobcats (5-24) rallied back from a 3-0 deficit to take the second game while playing at home for the first time this season.
Game 1 – Millersville 10, LMC 0
Millersville starting pitcher Brianna Andraos (5-2) helped her own cause with an RBI double to left center to break a scoreless tie in the top of the second. Leadoff hitter Jordan Sheffield stroked a run-scoring triple before Danielle DiFilippo recorded one of her four hits with an RBI single through the left side.
DiFilippo battered LMC pitched with a five-RBI performance.
Maria Spinosa joined the RBI club with a single in the top of the third. DiFilippo delivered a big blow with a two-run single later in the inning. She notched a two-run double in the top of the fourth to conclude the scoring.
Bobcat freshman Sarah Stallings (Greensboro, N.C.) and sophomore Sadie Lagle (Harmony, N.C.) notched LMC's only hits.
Charlie Dutton (Monroe, Ga.) took the loss after going three innings and allowing seven runs (three earned).
Game 2 – LMC 6, Millersville 3
The Marauders Amanda Wink and LMC's Celeste Sheppard (East Julian, N.C.) were locked in a pitchers' duel while neither allowed run in the first three innings.
Millersville drew first blood following a two-run single by Brittany Smith in the top of the fourth. DiFilippo continued to best LMC pitching with an RBI single in the top of fifth.
Hickey (Umatilla, Fla.) started the Bobcat rally with a looping single to left field before Stallings laid down a perfect bunt to put runners on first and second.
Shortstop Lori Fulmer (Prosperity, S.C.) moved them over with a sacrifice bunt before Amanda Decker (Apex, N.C.) connected on a two-run single. Taylor Billings (Sophia, N.C.) methodically drew a walk prior to an RBI fielders' choice from Sheppard.
Senior Jessica Smith (Gastonia, N.C.) got a home-friendly bounce when a grounder up the middle ricocheted off second base allowing Decker to score the go-ahead run. Hickey capped off the scoring parade with an RBI single.
Billings added an insurance run while plating Lagle to make it 6-3 in the bottom of the sixth.
Sheppard (2-11) went the distance and allowed three earned runs while Amanda Wink (2-3) suffered the loss after allowing four earned runs in 4.1 innings.
LMC returns to Conference Carolinas play with a doubleheader at Pfeiffer at 3 & 5 p.m. Saturday in Misenheimer, N.C.

What does it really cost to go cruising? Were happy to report that for us the news has been good.
Now that the paychecks have long stopped coming in, uncharacteristically, we have become very organized and keep track of every penny we spend while cruising. These numbers here are real, ascertained from on our recent experience cruising the East Coast of the United States.
So, youre probably thinking, "My house payment is more than their entire monthly expense. How can they possibly do it?"
Remember, our life is simpler now. Were free of all the extra expenses like operating two cars, buying clothes to wear to the office, having cable TV, etc. We dont need to go on vacationswe are always on vacation. Heres the run down on what we get today for our money.
Food and sundries: $390 per month
Fresh baked bread, Chinese dumplings, steak in wine, Indian curries, cheesecake, beer and wine with every dinner. Does it sound like were suffering? Not on your life. Were probably eating better than we did at home since we have more time to cook, and are finding a great deal of pleasure in trying to recreate our favorite restaurant meals aboard Safari. This expense figure includes all food and beverages, paper products, cleaning materials, toiletries, and even food for our two cats. The only sacrifice we feel were making from our old lifestyle is drinking cheaper wine and beer. Even better news is that once you leave the United States, all the cruisers we meet agree that this figure goes down. In the US every time you go ashore there is a great temptation to buy things. In the islands, and in more remote countries, theres not much to spend money on, and the savvy cruiser provisions ahead of time and shops shore-side only in countries where prices are low.
Fuel: $62 per month
Although we sail whenever we can, were not purists. When the wind goes light, we crank up the engine and motor, or motor-sail, as conditions warrant. Based on our recent trip from the Florida Keys, up the East Coast to the Canadian border, and back down to the Chesapeake (and on a diesel fuel price of around 90 cents per gallon), we averaged $62 per month. The slower you move and the less distance you cover, the lower the cost will be. And, of course, if you have the time and inclination to only move with the perfect wind conditions, your figure could be much lower.
Entertainment (shore-side eating and drinking): $42 per month
We know that all you working stiffs are going to find it difficult to believe that we can be happy with this small amount spent ashore each month, but we are. I admit that we surprised ourselves a bit with this figure, as years ago we could easily have spent that on a single bar bill in 1 night. Originally, we had budgeted $150 per month for shore-side entertainment, thinking that would be a challenge. But when you start looking at a beer that costs $3 in a bar, versus 10 beers you can drink on the boat for the same price, you start to lose some of the enjoyment of eating and drinking ashore. (And on Sunday night, that cheap beer tastes even sweeter when you know you dont have to go into work Monday morning.)
But dont feel sorry for us not having any fun in the entertainment department. Almost every cruising boat we come across in our travels is ready to get together once the hook is down for the night. Weve spent many enjoyable evenings where everyone pitches in on the food preparation and brings their own beverages, so that nobody imposes on anothers budget. Weve found this kind of entertainment much more rewarding than blowing our budget eating ashore in a waterfront tourist town.
Marinas and dockage: $26 per month
This was another big shocker of our budget. We had allowed for three nights per month in a marina, but have found this completely unnecessary. In seven months of cruising, we have only paid for two nights in a marina, plus a couple of moorings in Maine. There are many factors that will determine how often you will want to frequent marinas. How comfortable you are on the size of boat you're on, water capacity and showering facilities, and how well you are able to keep your battery bank charged without being plugged to shore power: These are a few of the main ones. In our case, we prefer the solitude and naturalness of the anchorages. We did, however, invest ahead of time in a wind generator and solar panels to help keep us charged up. These quickly paid for themselves with the savings realized on not needing to go to marinas to charge up.
Repairs, maintenance, and upgrades: $61 per month
The important thing to mention here is that our boat is only two years old. An older boat, as with an older car, is more of an unknown entity and we believe that you would need to have a much larger reserve in your budget for more major repairs. Smaller, simpler boats, without a lot of systems would have an advantage here. For instance, if you dont have refrigeration on board, you dont need to worry about your compressor going out on you. Also, the cruising destinations you choose will directly affect the required outlay of money for upgrades prior to departure.
A major cost saver for repairs and upgrades is to have the inclination and ability to do the work on board yourself, and only use professional services if all else fails. There is a great network of cruisers out here who will share their knowledge and time with you, as long as youre willing to attempt it yourself. (Our figure does not reflect the cost of hauling and bottom painting, which most cruisers do every one to two years).
Charts, nav aids: $31 per month
We left the Florida Keys with the five BBA Chart Books needed to cover the East Coast (total cost of $450) and believe these are indispensable. We supplemented the chart books with more detailed approach charts for offshore sailing and added a few cruising guides. Its these items purchased after the chart books that are reflected in our monthly expenses.
Phone: $83 per month
Unless youve got very accommodating friends and family who let you call collect, the whole expense of keeping in touch falls in your hands. We use prepaid phone cards and are finding rates of between 12 and 25 cents per minute for calls in North America. Although we have a cellular phone on board, it is strictly for emergencies or collecting our e-mail, if we havent been able to use a land line for a while. Approximately half our phone expenses are e-mail related.
Health and boat insurance: $302 per month
We carry both. Many cruisers out here dont have either. This choice will be up to you as to what risks you are comfortable taking.
So, what will it cost you to go cruising? If you have the desire to cast off, there are many different ways to play the cruising game. We have met a cruising family of four who report that $500 per month is plenty when cruising remote islands. We know other sailors who treat themselves regularly to marinas and shore-side dinners and who are spending $2,500 to $3,000 per month. And then we have friends who are tired of all the "How -cheaply-you-can-sail" books and would like to write the guide on cruising in style. It seems, however, that the figure of $1,000 per month comes up more than any other when talking to fellow cruisers. Believe us when we avow that we have never met a happier, more content group of people.
Budget Busters and Budget BuddiesHere are some of the cost that we have found will blow away all your best-made plans:
Here, on the other hand, are ways to keep that budget in line:

|Moral :
|When Trip is picking the lock to the shop door, Archer claims that they have come 78 light years only to engage in breaking and entering. At the end of the episode we find that the date is now 31st July 2151, which puts it 106 days after the date given in "Broken Bow". But Enterprise should take more than double this time to cover 78 light years, even going at the maximum Warp 5 all the way.
Also, having T'Pol just hang hair over her ears strikes me as a pretty poor disguise. Okay so maybe they don't have the plastic surgery tech to give her ears like the locals, but surely some sort of hat would be in order?
|Great Moment :
|Beaming up the antimatter reactor and using it as a mine.
|Body Count :
|Zero in the actual episode, so far as we know; several locals were said to have died as a result of the alien's activities, and several aliens were stunned or otherwise incapacitated. It's possible the alien ship suffered casualties when the reactor blew up.
|Factoid :
|A nice link to TOS here - the Malurians who are poisoning the planet are from the Malurian system which Kirk's Enterprise visited in "The Changeling". Unfortunately for the Malurians, their entire race of four billion people was wiped out by Nomad!
Wade Andrew Williams, who plays Garos in this episode, is no stranger to science fiction. He played Trajis Lo-Tarik in the Voyager episode "One", and has also been in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Charmed, The X Files, and Seven Days.

A friend was on the New England Patriots team that got slaughter by the Bears in Superbowl whatever. He received a big old ring just for making it to the Superbowl. He said it was recognition for making it to the championship game. Winning it all is of course the greatest accomplishment but making it to that game is a feat worth celebrating and honoring.
My friend said as he looked back on the game, he wished they would have won, (and wished they hadnt got humilitated) but it was an honor to even be in the game. The ring was a great reminder of that.
So to me raising or finding a few extra bucks for a trophy for their school and some memento of their participation in THE game is worth it for the young men who play their guts out to make it to the big show.
I guess if the pro teams recgonize the importance of making it to the championship game, why cant we?
Just another perspective...
Problem with this argument is, they dont hand out trophies to the super bowl losers, but they do to the winners. Same as the MCLA. Although, I do think giving the MCLA champs all rings to the winners is a mighty fine idea...
In all seriousness, while I do respect the idea of giving the second place school a trophy, there are other ways to go about it. If your school wants to put something in the case, have a team picture and put MCLA DII Runner-up, '08 under it. But I dont think you need the MCLA to give you a trophy to validate your accomplishment. And a lot of teams wouldnt care for one, either cause they are too bitter they didnt win it all, or cause they wouldnt know what to do with it. I know Michigan St could care less, and it would have just ended up in the coaches basement, or office if we're lucky.

Revisiting Led Zeppelin's Reunion at Atlantic's 40th Anniversary Show
By 1988, Led Zeppelin had been disbanded for the better part of a decade, the members having moved on to solo careers in a show of respect for their fallen drummer John Bonham. But as they'd shown in 1985 with their mini-reunion for Live Aid, they were willing to come together for the right cause.
Despite singer Robert Plant telling Details magazine that the Live Aid show was "probably one of the worst performances I've ever done in my life," on May 14, 1988, they returned to the stage. They took the stage with Bonham's son Jason behind the drum kit to deliver a five-song set ("Kashmir," "Heartbreaker," "Whole Lotta Love," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Stairway to Heaven") that closed out the concert event of the year: "It's Only Rock and Roll," an all-star extravaganza celebrating Atlantic Records' landmark 40th anniversary.
Running nearly 13 hours in length and assembling an amazing lineup of performers that ran the gamut from classic R&B and soul acts like the Coasters, LaVern Baker, and Ben E. King to the contemporary rock bands that defined the label's '70s and '80s success (including Yes, Genesis and Crosby, Stills & Nash). And while the organizers' decision to forgo an all-star jam at the end seems like a missed opportunity, they came up with a pretty solid substitute in the briefly reunited Led Zeppelin.
Originally aired on HBO, ABC and the BBC, "It's Only Rock and Roll" is available in various places online, and well worth seeking out, if only to experience the joy of watching the often-incongruous acts in the lineup follow one another to the stage.
Watch Led Zeppelin at Atlantic's 40th Anniversary
As for Led Zeppelin, they'd quickly return to hibernation following the show. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page reunited for a series of concerts and a pair of LPs during the '90s, but they wouldn't share a stage with John Paul Jones again until 2007. The threesome reunited, along with Jason Bonham, at London's O2 Arena to deliver their first full-length set in nearly 30 years as a tribute to the recently deceased Ahmet Ertegun -- founder and president of Atlantic Records.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Administrators at Cleveland's Fire Department run such a loose ship that some firefighters get paid without working and others manipulate schedules so they can commute from as far away as California, according to internal auditors.
findings, released Friday, also show administrators fail to record when firefighters miss time because of sickness, thus inflating the pay the firefighters receive at retirement for unused sick days.
What auditors did not do is specify who is to blame, and Mayor Frank Jackson said Friday that he has no immediate plans to prosecute firefighters who may have been overpaid.
Jackson and Safety Director Martin Flask also defended outgoing Fire Chief Paul Stubbs.
"He is a good chief," Jackson said. "He was not opposed to us doing the audit. In fact, he welcomed it."
Reached by telephone Friday night, Stubbs took responsibility for the problems cited by the auditors. But he said the findings had not influenced his decision to retire next spring.
Jackson and Flask ordered the audit earlier this year because of escalating overtime and severance costs. Those expenses are on pace to go $1.5 million over budget this year. Jackson has since proposed merging the Fire Department with the city's Emergency Medical Service in a move that he says will improve service and reduce response times.
Auditors focused on pay records for this year but went back to 2009.
Here are some of the findings:
* Calvin Robinson worked the equivalent of three months between January 2009 and September of this year but was paid his full $53,890 salary. Auditors reported that Robinson and others traded shifts, as allowed by union contract, but did not make up the time within a year as required.
* Joseph Coneglio lives in San Diego for four or five months at a time, according to Flask. Fire Department records indicate he crammed an entire year's worth of shifts in his remaining months in Cleveland.
* Andrew Kovacic did no work from November 2010 through March of this year, then, according to department records, he compensated by working 24-hour shifts for 18 days during a three-week stretch in August. Flask and auditors said trying to work so many hours in such a short period is dangerous.
* Michael Milano worked 1,828 hours over 21/2 years but was paid for three times as many hours. Timothy Debarr was paid for 6,497 hours but worked only 2,833. Gary McNamara worked just over half the 6,681 hours for which he was paid.
Reached by phone, Coneglio referred questions to the fire chief's office. "They're the ones who generally speak to the media," he said.
McNamara declined to comment. Debarr, Kovacic, Milano and Robinson could not be reached for comment.
Jackson and Flask indicated that they did not force Stubbs to retire. They also downplayed Stubbs' responsibility for the department's lax oversight, saying those occurred at levels below the chief.
New Assistant Safety Director Edward Eckart has assumed responsibility for monitoring the department's payroll.
Solutions to some of the problems found in the audit will require changes in a union contract that runs until 2013.
Some of the problems might be the result of errors caused by an antiquated manual record-keeping process, according to Capt. Frank Szabo, vice president of the union representing firefighters.
Szabo said the Jackson administration made vague reference to problems with shift trading in the last negotiations but quickly abandoned the issue when asked why.
"We'd be willing to sit down with them and negotiate improvements," he said.

USA advanced into the semi-finals of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup™ by defeating Brazil on penalties in a drama-charged encounter in Dresden.
Victory for USA sets up a last-four meeting with France on Wednesday and continues their record of never missing the semi-finals.
USA led after just two minutes thanks to an own goal from Brazil defender Daiane, who turned a Shannon Boxx cross into her own net.
The South Americans were able to recover thanks to a twice-taken penalty midway through the second half, and Marta doubled her tally just two minutes into extra time.
The match seemed over until Abby Wambach claimed heroine status with an equaliser deep into injury time, with USA then prevailing 5-3 on penalties.
Following the early goal USA maintained their bright start with Wambach narrowly missing with a header from a smart Christie Rampone free-kick.
Brazil finally started to come into the contest with Aline's header hitting the side-netting from Marta's well-taken corner.
Marta then went on a lung-bursting 80 metre run only for Rampone to maintain pressure on the Brazilian, who fired over.
Seven minutes before the interval came Brazil's best chance of the half as Fabiana's shot from a narrow angle hit the crossbar.
The second 45 minutes commenced in muted fashion before bursting into life midway through the half. Marta was brought down in the penalty area, with USA suffering a double blow as defender Rachel Buehler was dismissed. Cristiane saw her penalty saved only for a retake to be ordered, and this time Marta coolly converted.
Extra time commenced perfectly for Brazil as Marta scored another high-quality goal worthy of the world's greatest stage. The five-time FIFA World Player of the Year collected a pass from the left and deftly flicked it home via the far post.
Despite playing with ten players, USA continued to press at every opportunity and finally got their reward two minutes into injury time as a superb Megan Rapinoe cross found Wambach, who stretched to head home just inside the post.
The only failure in the penalty shootout was Brazil defender Daiane, who saw her effort saved by Hope Solo, allowing Alex Krieger to convert for a famous USA victory.
Player of the match: Hope Solo (USA)

One of the open problems in strong correlation physics is whether or not
Luttinger's theorem works for doped Mott insulators, particularly in
the pseudo gap regime where the pole-like excitations form only a Fermi
arc. I will begin this talk by using this theorem to count particles and
show that it fails in general for the Mott state. The failure stems
from the divergent self energy that underlies Mottness. When such a
divergence is present, charged degrees of freedom are present that have
no particle interpretation. I will argue that such excitations are
governed by a non-trivial IR fixed point and the propagator of which is
of the unparticle form proposed by Georgi. I will show how a gravity
dual can be used to determine the scaling dimension of the unparticle
propagator. I will close by elucidating a possible superconducting
instability of unparticles and demonstrate that unparticle stuff is
likely to display fractional statistics in the dimensionalities of
interest for strongly correlated electron matter. Time permitting, an
underlying theory of the strongly coupled fixed point will be outlined.

What will it take?
So Lainey nonchalantly throws things into her suitcase – which finally arrived, and which contains things that look nothing like my clothes, let me assure you - and asks me to write this article all "And it'll be fun for you!" But she snickers, because she secretly thinks I'm fighting a losing battle. And I disagree with her – vehemently – but I do know I'm in the minority.
So last night Mischa Barton and Mandy Moore showed up at the Vanity Fair Portraits event in L.A., and Mischa tried to do her urban-urchin thing that she keeps flogging, never once paying attention to the fact that everyone is over it, like, not only have the Olsen twins left it far, far behind, but even the rip-off shops in suburban malls have stopped trying to sell giant diaphanous blankets to 5'1 girls and call them dresses.
She looks terrible, but the worst part is she is looking at the camera for approval. Like she's hoping this is finally going to be the shot that gets her on the good side of Us Weekly's "who wore it better". And she looks pathetic, and it's exhausting, and I don't even know if she's working right now. (Lainey: she's not)
And then there is my Mandy.
She's glowing. She's classy. She's sexy with those cut-outs under her dress. And you are drawn to her. You know you are. Look at those cheekbones. Don't you kind of wonder what her story is? She has something. Beneath the surface. You can't find out everything you need to know about her by looking at her face and her mother. Hayden P she is not.
Look, it's not lost on me that there's a Hollywood hierarchy – that if Natalie Portman or Michelle Williams or any other Oscar-attending member of the 20-somethings had shown up, nobody would have paid any attention to Mandy … or Mischa for that matter.
But there they were. Compare and contrast. Needy vs. content. Straining for attention vs. relaxed and charming. Trashtastic mall-inspired garb vs. sleek and understated.
How is there a contest ? What do you people want, blood?
Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe you're just skipping over this going 'could this girl shut up about this goody-goody boring brunette already? Isn't somebody naked?' But I'll tell you something. Anne Hathaway was a goody-goody boring brunette – and then she wore some stylish stuff in a movie with Meryl Streep and had the world's most atrocious breakup, and suddenly she's one of us.
What will it take for you to let Mandy in?

Colleen Callahan, a former local radio and TV reporter, wants to be the Democratic candidate for the 18th Congressional seat, she confirmed Thursday.
Colleen Callahan, a former agriculture reporter for local radio and television stations, is asking the Democratic Party to be its nominee this fall for the 18th Congressional District.
She said numerous people have asked her to run and after discussing it with family and friends, she is now actively seeking the support of the party's 20 county chairmen. She approached them at a meeting last week and says she's in the early stages of testing the waters with Democratic voters.
"I'm excited about this prospect," Callahan, 56, said in a telephone interview Thursday afternoon. "I have been overwhelmed by the support."
This would be her first foray into politics, though she said her professional experience with business and agriculture will make her a worthy candidate.
The Democratic chairmen in the 20 counties comprising the 18th District have 60 days after the Feb. 5 primary election to choose their candidate.
A native of Milford, Callahan worked in broadcasting for more than 30 years, mostly covering and commenting on agribusiness issues at WMBD-AM 1470. In 2003, she started her own communications firm and currently heads Colleen Callahan Communications.
She declined to detail Thursday what her campaign platform or stance on issues would be if selected, stating at this time her campaign is simply "to convince the 20 Democratic chairmen for their vote."
If nominated, Callahan will face one of the three Republicans seeking their party's nomination for the congressional seat — Heartland Partnership CEO Jim McConoughey, former Peoria city Councilman John Morris and state Rep. Aaron Schock.
Democrats in the 18th District have been without a candidate after Dick Versace, a former Bradley University and NBA basketball coach, announced in early December he was dropping out of the race for "unforeseen personal circumstances."
Peoria County Circuit Judge Richard Grawey, who initially considered running to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood, said Thursday although he's not actively campaigning for the spot he thinks "I'm one of the people the chairmen are considering."
The vacancy left many to wonder if the lack of a clear candidate would hamper Democrats in what will likely be an already difficult race. The 18th District hasn't had a Democratic congressman since 1917.
"The Democrats didn't get their first candidate, they didn't get their second so maybe the third time is the charm," said Lance Trover, spokesman for the Illinois Republican Party.
Trover declined to comment on how Callahan's announcement may change the dynamics of the Republican Party's campaign but added the 18th District is "an overwhelmingly Republican district which I'm positive will remain in Republican hands in 2008."
Billy Halstead, chairman for the Peoria County Democratic Party, said the voters were in no danger of seeing the Democratic slot empty on election night.
"There was never a doubt in my mind that we wouldn't have a candidate," he said. "That seat would not go uncontested."

President Barack Obama arrived in Reno Thursday to speak at the ElectraTherm, Inc., renewable energy company to hold a 'Shared Responsibility and Shared Prosperity' town hall. He addressed some tough issues and fielded hard questions.
The President talked about gas prices, Medicare and how Nevada as a state needs to make some tough choices.
"I just hope that the choices are not short-sided," says Obama. He said Nevada has to prioritize.
One thing he says that Americans need to change is our reliance on private insurance. Obama says the practice of 'if the insurance you buy isn't good enough to cover you, too bad,' is wrong and it doesn't have to be that way.
"If health inflation keeps going up, you are out of luck. We will work with providers to make sure the healthcare system as a whole is more efficient."
Another hot topic up for discussion was the ongoing argument on tax cuts. Obama says we need to spread the wealth and strengthen the middle class.
"We need to end some of the tax cuts we issue for the wealthiest Americans. Not because I want to punish success. I am rooting for everybody to get rich."
He also asked Americans to step up and make your concerns and opinions be heard and to hold lawmakers accountable, including him.
"I don't want you to be bystanders in this debate. I want you to hold me accountable, I want you to hold Washington accountable. This is how we can secure our future and how we can make this country how it should be."
The location of Thursday's town hall, ElectraTherm, Inc. is a small renewable energy company headquartered in Reno. ElectraTherm's product, the Green Machine, generates fuel-free, emission free power from low to mid temperature waste heat using the Organic Rankine Cycle and patented technology. So it was not surprising that President Obama touched up on green energy and electric car production as a means to reduce gas prices and invest in America's future.
"One of the key ways we are going to get gas prices to go down is to rely less on oil," says Obama. He says his administration wants a million electric cars on the road over the next several years and make them affordable for everybody. But we are not there yet.
Last Wednesday, President Obama laid out his plan to put our nation on a more responsible fiscal trajectory while continuing to make the smart investments needed to create jobs and grow our economy.
"We must work together, begin to live within our means, and make shared sacrifices in order to rein in the deficit and meet the tough challenges of the future."
Obama says the debate is not whether we cut the deficit, the debate is how we cut the deficit. One way that is not acceptable to cut the national debt is on the back of students.
"I think it would be a mistake to balance the budget on the back of students. We need to cut spending, we can't ignore future deficits, failing to invest in our kids is mortgaging our future as well."
Obama jokingly addressed the nationally publicized party division in his administration. Among snickers in the audience, he says he has not lost hope but the hard work is ahead of them.
"I think Democrats and Republicans can come together. It won't be easy. There will be some strong disagreements. Politics will be played and some will say the country is too divided but I am hopeful."

Normally enjoy the boxing but gave up yesterday as the scores weren't on show during the fight (try explaing to and 8 and 9 year old) yesterday. Waiting for the odd update from Richie Woodhall in commentary wasn't really good enough. Was this the same in other parts of the world?
I know there were time check problems in the road race as well, early glitches that need sorting out really.

A new, free smart phone app called UGoTour promises to add storytelling details to an array of destinations.
Led by Paul Hedgecock, president and founder at E-Commerce Business Solutions, the app recently launched on Google and Android platforms, and is available for the iPhone. The goal of app is "to connect stories, places and people" says Brett McCall, who is heading up marketing for UGoTour, as well as developing new tours.
The Asheville Urban Trail tour is a good example of how the UGoTour works, says McCall. There's a map with all the points of the downtown Asheville walking tour noted, as well as a written description, photos an an audio clip. The idea is to put turn average tourists into "engaged visitors," McCall says.
The possibilities for tours are seemingly endless. McCall says he's developing everything from a "Not So Touristy Tour" to capture off-the-beaten-path stops, as well as the "Tour like a Tourist," which can appeal to both out-of-towners, as well as staycationers. Imagine an "Asheville Entrepreneur Tour," a family reunion tour or tours aimed at AirBNB guests. McCall says he's also working on building tours for single parents, as well as tours designed specifically for children.
An updated version of UGoTour will allow people to design their own tours, or build a tour just for a particular night – say a bachelor or bachelorette party – McCall says.
There will also be commercial tours, ones where businesses can pay to be featured, he says. "The Little Town That Rocks tour in Black Mountain is our first commercial tour," he says. "It is filled with places people would want to shop, eat, co-work."
Some UGoTours also include built-in Easter eggs – little rewards for users, such as coupons, McCall says. UGoTour has more than 1,000 downloads since January, according to McCall.
UGoTour got a big boost when the N.C. Department of Transportation commissioned it to create tours for all 54 of the state's official Scenic Byways. McCall says the McDowell County Tourism Development Authority also commissioned UGoTour to create a tour showing off the county's attractions: art galleries, wineries, hiking trails, waterfalls, etc.
McCall says he's excited about UGoTour and its offerings and development. It's all about putting "a tour guide in your pocket."

Arenado meets match in Astros' Dominguez
HOUSTON -- When the Rockies and Astros tangle, get ready for some flashy glovework at the hot corner. The matchup boasts two of the premier young defensive third basemen in Nolan Arenado for Colorado and Matt Dominguez for Houston.
The two played against each other during their high school days in California and in the Arizona Fall League two years ago, so Arenado said he was familiar with Dominguez's ability.
"I've known what Dominguez is about for a while, because he's a Cali guy, like me," Arenado said. "That team he was on in high school [Chatsworth High] was stacked. He's always had those sharp reflexes at third. He's a big-time talent and could definitely be an up-and-coming star."
Astros manager Bo Porter has repeatedly labeled Dominguez's defense as "Gold-Glove caliber," and Dominguez has belted out seven homers over his last 15 games to complement his glove work.
Arenado was known more for his bat than his excellent glove at the Minor League level, but the Majors haven't been as kind to him.
Entering Tuesday, Arenado was hitting just .243 with 13 strikeouts in May. But that glove that once helped turn 36 double plays in the Minors has stuck.
Arenado and Dominguez each snagged hard-hit balls off the other's bat during Monday's series opener, drawing audible reactions from the crowd at Minute Maid Park.
"I played against him in the [Arizona] Fall League and stuff, and Nolan's pretty impressive, a pretty good hitter," Dominguez said. "He always makes some good defensive plays. I enjoy watching him play. He's great over there."

Has transition failed in the Balkans?
Social crisis, record unemployment, youth without hope.
What can be done?
While many European economies are today struggling in the face of a deep economic and fiscal crisis, the Western Balkans has been struggling with economic crisis for more than three decades. In the recent downturn an already bad situation with some of the highest unemployment rates in Europe – in most countries above 20 percent – is only getting worse.
Throughout the region post-communist deindustrialization has not been reversed. Productivity is low, while the fiscal burden of social spending (on pensions, on veterans benefits) remains very high. The average citizen of Serbia is still poorer today than in 1990. Youth unemployment in Serbia is close to 50 percent. In Macedonia it is higher still. Croatia, having just concluded its EU accession negotiations, has youth unemployment rates approaching 40 percent, the level of Greece. In Kosovo, the poorest and most isolated part of the region, more than 35,000 young people join the labour market every year, but there is no job growth.
This is not only a social and economic crisis: it is also an intellectual and political one. The growth model of the past decade – hoping for foreign direct investment, growth driven by consumer credits – has been shaken. In the case of Croatia, even a successful process of EU accession has not brought much needed job creation. Where are the new policy prescriptions, and where is new energy to carry out serious changes going to come from? Are exhausted populations and citizens, already deeply cynical about their leaders and vague promises of the gains of "transition" and "reform", ready to embrace change? And if so … is it clear, to leaders and to opinion makers in these countries, what is to be done?
Introduction, panel discussion, and questions from the audience
Sekerinska Bogosavljevic Shahini
Join ESI and ERSTE Foundation for a panel discussion on these issues with:
- Radmila Sekerinska, Chair of National European Integration Council and former Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, Skopje
- Srdjan Bogosavljevic, Managing Director, Ipsos Strategic Marketing, Belgrade
- Besa Shahini, Senior Analyst, European Stability Initiative (ESI), Pristina
- Vladimir Gligorov, Senior Economist, Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (WIIW), Vienna
- Ulrich Schuh, Head of Economics and Finance Department, Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS), Vienna
Moderated by: Kristof Bender, Deputy Chairman, European Stability Initiative (ESI)
Gligorov Bender Schuh
The event will take place in English. ERSTE Foundation is delighted to invite you for a glass of wine afterwards.
Entrance is free, but please register at +43(0)1 501 70-337 email@example.com.
This event is jointly organized by ERSTE Stiftung and the European Stability Initiative (ESI) as part of a series of presentations on FRESH THINKING FOR EUROPE.

- Freedom of movement in Europe – dream or nightmare in a populist age?
- European Islam and Muslim neighbours – Fears and Opportunities

Quote: Actually, illegal immigrants are NOT criminals. As former Republican Rudolph Guiliani recently pointed out, unauthorized border corssing is a civil offense, not a criminal one.
Quote: `The Government of the United States shall preserve and enhance the role of English as the national language of the United States of America. Unless otherwise authorized or provided by law, no person has a right, entitlement, or claim to have the Government of the United States or any of its officials or representatives act, communicate, perform or provide services, or provide materials in any language other than English. If exceptions are made, that does not create a legal entitlement to additional services in that language or any language other than English. If any forms are issued by the Federal Government in a language other than English (or such forms are completed in a language other than English), the English language version of the form is the sole authority for all legal purposes.'.
Quote: And I am sick and tired of how every time anyone dares to mention race or racism they are shot down for "playing the race card." Look at this way: all over the US, Russians speak Russian, Greeks speal Greek, Poles speak Polish AND NOBODY CARES. Why not? Because Russians, Greeks, and Poles are all white people. And white people are not afraid of other white people. There is no "English Only" movement; it is really a "No Spanish" movement.

The PRC is currently conducting follow-up studies of participants in three randomized controlled trials of a program of prenatal and infancy home visitation by nurses known as the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP).
We also are beginning a series of new trials that will test augmentations of the NFP as it is being replicated in hundreds of communities across the nation.
A growing focus of the PRC involves international work. In 2004, the PRC began responding to inquiries from researchers and/or government health agencies abroad that were interested in possibly developing the Nurse-Family Partnership program in their country. This work involves helping international partners adapt and test the NFP in other societies.
Finally, we have begun a new program of research focused on adapting the NFP program content and methods for group-based prenatal and well-child care. This work is being carried out in its first phases in collaboration with investigators and staff who conduct the Colorado Adolescent Maternity Program.
Dr. Nancy Donelan-McCall's interests include the development and testing of assessment measures and intervention methods designed to promote competent parenting for at-risk parents and caregivers of young children. She is also interested in the identification or risk and protective factors that relate to competent parenting and child outcomes.
Dr. David Olds is interested in developing and testing interventions designed to improve maternal and child health early in the lives of children.

The Zend Developer Zone has a review posted of a report that the O'Reilly Radar group put out concerning Open Source software and its place in the Enterprise business today.
It's not often that a report generates this much excitement but "Open Source in the Enterprise" says a lot of what needs to be said to C-Levels considering making the jump to Open Source.
Cal mentions one of the 6 factors that are driving more and more businesses to open source software (like PHP) - the community that surrounds them (how vibrant is it?). He also points out the concept of "vendor lock-in" and how open source can help companies accomplish it by ridding themselves of proprietary software. The report can be gotten from the O'Reilly Radar group for $399 for an individual copy or $995 for a sitewide license.

text: This documentary investigates one of America's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem -- today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. Among all active-duty female soldiers, 20 percent are sexually assaulted. Female soldiers aged 18 to 21 accounted for more than half of the victims.
