4. My mother used to say, if you break your leg, don't come running to me.
On a similar note, your sig picture changes after you
trips to the forbidden zone, AKA GD.



With each visit, the dizziness increases.
In and out of focus, spinning more rapidly,



If you continue, your duck's beak will loosen and fly off
into some innocent lounger.



Need I say more?

9. GD is like heroin.
I can't stop mainlining, and yet, I end up on the floor in the fetal position sobbing after I go there. Then, I go back...just to look....just a taste. I need St. Mike's Parochial to get me back in the fear mode to stay away.

Virtualization, Hypervisors and Xen<1><2> - Muli Ben Yehuda
Abstract
an outline of some lecture I found


Topics to be covered include a general introduction, design and implementation of Xen, the new Xen 2.0



IO model and future plans.

<1> http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/index.html
<2> A short overview of Xen, from http://www.mulix.org/lectures/OLS2004.html:

Xen is a virtual machine monitor, developed by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Unlike VMWare, which provides complete virtualization, guest operating systems need to be ported to the Xen environment. So far, Linux 2.4 and 2.6 have been ported, as well as NetBSD, FreeBSD and Plan9, and Windows XP. The Windows XP port was done in collaboration with MS Research, and took much longer than the Linux port...

Xen works by letting the monitor (hypervisor) run in ring 0, and the guest OS run in ring 1. Userspace runs in ring 3, as usual. From a Linux point of view, porting Linux to Xen (refereed to as XenoLinux) is just a matter of implementing the arch specific hooks in Linux - no core kernel files are modified!

Xen provides secure protection between VMs (unlike e.g. coLinux), allows flexible partitioning of resources, and supports seamless low-latency migration of running VMs(!). They also claims impressive performance numbers, within 3% of the host performance.

After all we've told you, you still don't get it, do you? DO you? I don't know WHAT we're gonna have to do to you to straighten you out, but believe you me, we WILL find a way to get the message across.

Now go to your room.

Lecture Transcript: George Wolfe on ‘New McCarthyism’
October 31, 2005

{Roger Wojtkiewicz}
My name is Roger Wojtkiewicz, I am the Department Chairperson in Sociology, and we’re pleased to have our speaker today, who Professor Kraus will introduce. And we will have time for questions at the end. First, let me introduce Professor Rachel Kraus, the coordinator of the colloquium series.

{Rachel Kraus}
Thank you everybody so much for coming. We would appreciate your feedback, also if you would have any suggestions for future presentations, please mark them on the appropriate spot on the pink forms that are on the back table. Also there are plenty of handouts regarding the topic of today’s presentation. If for some reason we run out of handouts there’s also a piece of paper on the back there. All you need to do is write your e-mail address and we would be happy to make sure we get those handouts to you.

Before we get to today’s presentation, I just want to give you a heads up about our next colloquium speaker who will be Professor James D. Davidson from Purdue University. Professor Davidson is known around the country for his work on American Catholicism. When he comes to Ball State he will be speaking primarily about the social significance of religion beyond race, class and gender. The presentation is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th at 11:00 AM. And like all of our colloquium series presentations, you will be receiving an e-mail and a flyer about that particular talk.

Well, today we are very pleased to have Professor George Wolfe with us. Professor Wolfe is the Director for the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies here at Ball State; he oversees the Interdisciplinary Peace Studies Minor; he advises the Ball State student activist organization titled “Peace Workers;” and he teaches the interdepartmental class Introduction to Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution.

Today his talk will be primarily focused on the use of Gandhian philosophy to counter David Horowitz and new McCarthyism that some people suggest are showing up in various forms of media. Now just to let everybody know, we are very aware of last year’s controversy involving Professor Wolfe. So, I do want to make everybody aware that we will have time at the end for a few questions and comments about the topic of today’s presentation. So, it is quite appropriate to hold any questions or comments relevant to today’s topic until that time.

So, without further ado please help me welcome Professor George Wolfe.

{Applause}

{George Wolfe}
Thank you very much. I am pleased to have so many people here. I want to start off by wishing everybody a Happy Halloween. It’s not been my custom to dress up so much on Halloween, the reason being that, when I was a kid, my Mom always told me that if I kept making those ugly faces the eventually my face would freeze that way. As you can see, she was right.

I have here, a manuscript which is a compilation of probably 90% of the publicity that was generated last year by the controversy. And I say 90% because there were articles running around the country, which I didn’t hear of, I’m sure I just happened to overlook some… even locally. But, nevertheless when I presented this, I compiled this and I presented it to Provost Beverly Pitts last spring. And, when I presented it to her, I pointed out that I don’t think any other program at Ball State University has generated this much publicity… since our basketball team went to the Sweet Sixteen. The title of the manuscript is “The Attack on Academic Freedom By Political Extremists and the Response By Ball State University Administrators During the 2004-2005 Academic Year.” For those of you that are interested, I am going to be placing this on my reserve in Bracken Library and you are free to go examine all of the articles, and I’ll be pointing out some in my talk today.

You will see that some of the publicity is rather serious and somewhat frightening, but there is also some humor in the publicity. One I saved for the very end, I don’t know if you have ever heard of the Indianapolis Monthly but… the Indianapolis Monthly awarded David Horowitz one of its “air ball” awards. Now, I don’t know what an “air ball” award is but it comes from basketball… that’s when you shoot at something and totally miss everything… so its rather amusing. They awarded the “air ball” award for accusing the Peace Studies program of supporting terrorism. In the sense that we advocate non-violent solutions, non-violent forms of reconciliation, as opposed to violent forms… and I don’t know of any non-violent terrorists… I don’t know.

I would like to start by reading the introduction I wrote, or parts of the introductions I wrote to this manuscript:

Academic Freedom is alive and well at Ball State University. Of all the universities across the United States who were subject to the attacks of liberal bias by political extremist David Horowitz. At only one did the administration come to the defense of their faculty and their academic programs, the university was Ball State. Vice President for Academic Affairs Beverly Pitts, President Jo Ann Gora, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Randy Hymen and Joseph Losco, Chair of the Political Science Department are to be commended for their public stance against political extremism and their efforts to refute the false accusations directed toward Peace Studies at Ball State University.

As a result of their efforts, two newspapers in Indiana, The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette and the Muncie Star Press, ran editorials criticizing Mr. Horowtiz’s propaganda campaign. And if you receive the handouts in the back on the table, one of the handouts has those two editorials printed there. In addition, both papers called for state legislators to ignore requests for an Academic Bill of Rights. University faculty, therefore, should not be intimidated by Mr. Horowitz or by his student organization. Nor should any professor feel a chilling effect that forces them to compromise their freedom to teach as they deem appropriate in the classroom.
