Even though Koi are extremely hardy, it is very important to keep a watch on their environment to keep them at their healthiest. Regular observation of your Koi will allow problems to be detected early on but you should be familiar with your koi's normal shape, size and color as well as swimming habits. A change in these factors may signal that your Koi is stressed or ill and the problem should be identified in order to know what Koi medication or pond water conditioner to use for the treatment.
Speaking of pond water conditions remember that the koi's behavior could also change due to poor water conditions and you might need a pond water conditioner instead of a Koi medication. Attention should be paid to the quality of water and balance of the pond (i.e. pH levels, Ammonia, Nitrite etc.).
Unfortunately every pond owner with Koi at some time or another, will probably have to medicate their Koi pond with some type of Koi medication or pond water conditioner. Koi jumping and breaking the water surface, rubbing or scratching the pond sides and bottom could also indicate the need for a pond water conditioner or Koi medication.
In most cases it is easiest to test your pond water conditions and if they are in the normal range then you might have to medicate your Koi. A microscope is very helpful in diagnosing parasites and helping you decide what Koi medication to use.

Bail Enforcement Training Programs: While

beneficial, many will claim that you don't need a
license to track down and capture fugitives, due to
Federal 1872 Taylor vs. Taintor act. The fact
is, bounty hunting and bail enforcement rules &
requirements vary from state to state and that's
what they fail to teach. Some states require
some form of physical training and certificate,
other's require licensing, while other states
require no licensure or training at all.

There are many in the industry
that confuse Bail Enforcement with Bounty Hunting.
Below, you will find some brief definitions of what this
web site focuses on.
Taylor Vs. Taintor -
U.S. Supreme Court Law:
In 1872, the U.S. Supreme Court
Case "Taylor vs. Taintor" gave bail enforcement agents
nearly limitless power and authority when hunting down a
subject. This means that a bounty hunter may enter
their premise if needed to capture their wanted
fugitive, whether it be on behalf of a financial
institution, company or government authority.
However it is important to note,
that all U.S. States have varying digrees of
requirements in regards to bounty hunters. There
are a handful of states that have outright banned it
completely, in which they have an independent right to
do. Other states require training and/or
licensure, while other states require no formal training
or licensure at all.
Brief Definition Of
Bail Enforcement:
A Bail Enforcement Agent or Fugitive Recovery Agent
is an individual who is hired by a bail bond company to
apprehend a subject who fails to appear in court
"forfeiting their bond". The BEA or Fugitive
Recovery Agent can expect to earn 10% of the total bond
amount upon capture. However, if the BEA fails to
capture the fugitive, they don't get paid.
Brief Definition of A
Bounty Hunter:
A bounty hunter is an individual who captures
fugitives ("hunting") for a monetary reward ("bounty"),
for apprehending by law, if such laws exist. Other names
include Bail Agent, Bail Enforcement Agent, Bail
Officer, Fugitive Recovery Agent, Fugitive Recovery
Officer, or Bail Fugitive Recovery Specialist.
apprehension of a subject by a DOMESTIC or INTERNATIONAL
Bounty Hunter, whereby a reward is offered, whether it
be an individual on the run from the local, state or
federal authorities or just someone who hasn't gone back
to court.
A Bounty Hunter can be defined as one who
enforces bail, hired by a Bail Bond Company or one who
assists in the capture of a wanted fugitive from the
governing authorities, including but not limited to
Police Departments, The State, and FBI.
Brief Definition of a Bail Bondsman:
A bail bondsman is any person or corporation which
will act as a surety and pledge money or property as
bail for the appearance of a criminal defendant in
court. Although banks, insurance companies and other
similar institutions are usually the sureties on other
types of contracts, for example, to bond a contractor
who is under a contractual obligation to pay for the
completion of a construction project, such entities are
reluctant to put their depositors' or policyholders'
funds at the kind of risk involved in posting a bail
bond. Bail bondsmen, on the other hand, are usually in
the business to cater exclusively to criminal
defendants, often securing their customers' release in
just a few hours. You will find thousands of bail
bond companies across the United States that you can
contact once you are licensed or trained if required
by law.
Bail bondsmen are almost exclusively found in
the United States, as in most other countries bail is
usually more modest, and the practice of bounty hunting
is illegal.
Brief Definition of Skip Tracing:
Skip Tracing is the electronic means of tracking down
a suspect. The Internet has become a powerful tool
in the search for fugitives.
Skip Tracing can be used
to locate defendants and wanted fugitives. There
are vast resources available on the Internet, some of
which include searching DMV Records, Social Security
Searches, Court Files, Reverse Lookup Tools, plus so
many more.
Skip Tracing is an art, and will take some
practice. These Skip Tracing techniques can be
used to capture wanted fugitives at all governing
authoritative levels.

A Quick Overview
What is a Bounty Hunter?
Basically, a bounty hunter, or fugitive
recovery agent, is a person who apprehends fugitives in exchange for
a monetary reward "bounty". If a defendant fails to show up for a
court appearance, he is then considered a fugitive. When this
happens, the bail bond company will hire a bounty hunter to recover
the fugitive. The term "Fugitive Recovery" Agent is preferred by
those in the industry over the more derogatory "bounty hunter"
because the term "bounty hunter" conjures up images of the old west
with its "dead or alive posters" and rewards offered in exchange for
the fugitive. A fugitive recovery agent works for a percentage of
the bail amount, not a reward. Other names include Bail Agent,
Bail Enforcement Agent, Bail Officer, Fugitive Recovery Agent,
Fugitive Recovery Officer, or Bail Fugitive Recovery Specialist.
One couldn't enter into this profession without research and
training. In order to become a bounty hunter, one must have
knowledge of how the bail bonds industry works. In addition, the
bounty hunter must be proficient in other skills such as detecting
deceit, surveillance, skip tracing and negotiation. A bounty hunter
must also know how to research and investigate missing persons. He
must be able to access and analyze phone records of the fugitive's
friends and family. He will have to know how to dig into the
fugitive's past and find all past residences. He will need to learn
the fugitive's habits, vices, friends, enemies and hangouts. In
other words, a bounty hunter must have good investigative skills.

Bounty hunting originated in England hundreds of years ago. Back in
the 13th century, bail was a person, not an amount of money. An
individual was designated custodian of the accused, and if the
accused did not return to face his penalty, the custodian could be
hanged in his place.
During colonial times, America relied upon the bail system set up by
the government of England. In 1679, the British Parliament passed
the Habeas Corpus Act, which for the first time guaranteed that an
accused person could be released from prison on monetary bail. It
... within two days after the party shall be brought before them,
the said lord chancellor or lord keeper ... shall discharge the said
prisoner from his imprisonment, taking his or their recognizance,
with one or more surety or sureties, in any sum according to their
discretions, having regard to the quality of the prisoner and nature
of the offense, for his or their appearance in the court of the
King's bench the term following ...
This right was later written into the U.S. Constitution. The Eighth
Amendment to the Constitution prohibited the setting of excessive
bail, and the Judiciary Act of 1789, which established the U.S.
judicial court system, defined the terms for bailable offenses.
Federal bail law remained unchanged until the Bail Reform Act of
1966, which allowed the prisoner to be released with as little bail
as possible to secure his or her return for trial (although the 1984
Bail Reform Act allowed the courts to hold accused persons without
bail if they were deemed too dangerous for release). For more
information on bail, see How Bail Works.
The bounty hunter was given broad authority starting in 1873 with
the U.S. Supreme Court case, Taylor v. Taintor. The case gave bounty
hunters the authority to act as agents of bail bondsmen. Bounty
hunters on the trail of a bail jumper could "pursue him into another
state" and, if necessary, "break and enter his house for that
purpose." Today, states have their own restrictions when it comes to
bounty hunting, but most states give bounty hunters the freedom to
pursue and arrest bail jumpers within and across their borders.

how to become a bounty hunter than here.
Whether you were motivated to become a bounty hunter
by watching a T.V. show or a life event, you can rest assured that
one of the most lucrative & exciting law enforcement sectors to be in is Bail
Enforcement and "Bounty Hunting" on local, state & federal levels
where rewards offered by governing authorities can reach several
thousand to several million dollars.
There are only a small handful of jobs that offer as
much excitement as a bounty hunter, and they only exist on a FEDERAL
LEVEL. Bounty Hunter's are empowered at all state & federal
levels to apprehend suspects and may do so at any length as.
See Tailor Vs. Taintor 1872 U.S. Supreme Court Case. However,
to actually apprehend subjects, proper licensing or training may be
required. The Department of Insurance in your state where
applicable is where you will be able to find out the requirements to
become a Bail Enforcement Agent "Bounty Hunter", and if training or
certification is required, they will provide you guidance.
Without any warrant needed, you'll be able to kick
down doors, and cross state lines "if licensed or where allowed" legally pursuing a fugitive from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction to secure a surety. And without permission, you may
wiretap, set up surveillance videos, and bug houses.

Our step-by-step guide is set up in a simple, yet powerful format

for everyone, and we understand that. But, the few who have no
fear in tracking down deadbeat, sometimes violent criminals will definitely
find this line of work right up their alley. The satisfaction
of putting bail-jumper's & criminals back behind bars that goes
along with this type of employment is truly amazing.
As far as safety is concerned, you'll wear protective gear, and
may choose your partner(s) during fugitive apprehension, which
reduces the risk of assault significantly. The more people you have
with you, the less likelihood a fugitive will fight. They most
often submit when overwhelmed....

bail bond companies, several thousand dollars could be earned or 10%
of the total bail bond amount. And, with our Skip Tracing

A Quick Explanation How Money
Be Made:
A person is arrested, and a bond is set by the court
depending on the nature of the crime. If the individual can
come up with the cash, he/she is released on condition that they
appear for their court date. Many individuals who are arrested
don't have the money to make bail, so they call a bail bond company.
The bail bond company pays the court whatever the bail is set at,
and the prisoner is released on condition. Their fee is 10-20%
of the bonded amount.
If the individual does not show up for their court date
"jumps bail", the bond is
forfeited. A bail enforcement agent is then hired to track
down and apprehend the subject. The fee is 10-20% of the total
bonded amount.
Example: Let's say the bail bond agent pays $40,000 for
their client to make bail. Then, the person doesn't show up
for their court date. A Bounty Hunter "Bail Enforcement Agent
is then called in to find the fugitive. Upon capture, the
individual is brought back to jail. 10% or $4000 of the total
bonded amount is earned.
Just by finding a fugitive and taking him back to
jail can yield several thousand dollars in a single day!
If you're tough enough and can handle the heat, then
why not give it a try. You'll never know if you'll like the
business if you don't give it a shot.
If you talk to any bounty hunter "bail enforcement
agent", they will all say the same thing. If you try it once,
you'll never want to stop.

TRAVERSE CITY -- Adam Morrissey know trigonometry, college applications and how to wring the most out of a dollar.
But organizing a fundraising concert is one of the toughest things he's ever done.
"We've been working on this a very, very long time," he said.
He's in the final stretches. The concert is Saturday at the Warehouse Lounge in Traverse City's Warehouse District. Seven bands have donated their time. Shayne and Sandy Daly, owners of Cuppa Joe and the Warehouse Lounge, have donated the space. All proceeds will go to the Father Fred Foundation.
"Use of the Father Fred Foundation has doubled in the past two years," said Kathryn Carpenter, another of the event's organizers. "Food bank use alone is up 57 percent" from a year ago.
The concert is billed as an Acoustic Music Event and even some metal bands have agreed to unplug, Morrissey, 31, said.
The lineup includes Bomb The Moon, Nesta the LP Player and C-Note, the Fundubmentals, The Chem Trail Kids, Les Dagliesh, Timmy in the Well and Skylar from Dead Meat.
Admission is $10; the show runs from 6 p.m. to midnight.
All the bands are local, Morrissey said, and will be familiar to people who have frequented Jacob's Well and other venues that showcase local music. Andy MacTavish, one of the coordinators at Jacob's Well, helped Morrissey with organizing Saturday's concert. They met during a summertime trig class at Northwestern Michigan College, where Morrissey will wrap up his associate's degree in business this spring.
MacTavish helped with contacts and a location, Morrissey said.
"He's a dude and a half," Morrissey said.
Tickets for the show will be available at the door; for more information, call Morrissey at 499-7868.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The nationally ranked No. 20 Plattsburgh State men's lacrosse team rallied on three occasions before taking control of the game late in the first half en route to a 15-9 win against Potsdam in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) contest Wednesday night at the Field House Turf Complex.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 12-3 on the year and 4-1 in the SUNYAC, setting a new record for single-season wins. The previous mark of 11 was set during the 2010 and 2012 seasons.
The combination of a Geneseo loss earlier in the day and the Plattsburgh State win also ensured another program first as the Cardinals clinched the No. 2 seed in the SUNYAC Tournament, securing the first home playoff game in program history.
Potsdam quickly silenced the home crowd with two quick goals by Pat Morrill and Pat Bonafede to take an early first-quarter lead. The Cardinals responded with the next two from Brendan Damm and Brett McClelland to even the score at 2-2 after the first 15 minutes.
The Bears (6-6, 2-3 SUNYAC) regained the lead at the 12:10 mark of the second on Jeff Seager's ninth of the year from Rob Kunz, but Plattsburgh State's Tim Lawrence tied it up again at 11:04 with a man-up goal from Brett McClelland.
Twelve seconds later, Potsdam went out in front again on a goal by Kunz before Plattsburgh State's Joey Kramer made it a 4-4 game with an unassisted effort at the 8:33 mark.
The Cardinals tallied the next two as Anthony Pafundi scored on an extra-man opportunity and Nick Travers scored his first of the evening, giving Plattsburgh State a 6-4 lead at the half.
Kramer opened the second half with his second of the game before Lawrence struck again to give the Cardinals a four-goal lead. Potsdam's Matt Kennedy scored at the 9:05 mark of the third to bring the Bears within three, but goals by Tom Duggan and Travers stretched Plattsburgh State's advantage to 10-5 with less than three minutes left in the quarter.
Kyle Nicholas and Jared Flath found the back of the net late in the third for the Bears, cutting the Cardinals' lead to three but Plattsburgh State got the next four to take a 14-7 lead.
Flath and Nicholas accounted for the last two Potsdam goals late in the fourth while Lawrence completed his hat trick for the Cardinals with 44 seconds left.
Lawrence led the Cardinals offense with three goals and two assists. Travers also tallied a hat trick and picked up a game-high 13 ground balls. McClelland added two goals and an assist and Duggan contributed a goal and two helpers while Damm and Kramer each scored twice. Defensively, Mike Lind caused two turnovers.
The Bears were led by Flath with two goals, two assists and five ground balls. Nicholas also finished with a pair of goals while Kunz and Seager each added two points.
The Cardinals held the edge in shots, 46-35, and ground balls, 33-20. Plattsburgh State went 2-4 on extra-man opportunities, while Potsdam failed to convert on seven chances.
Plattsburgh State's Gordie Gehring improved to 11-3 on the year, matching his career-high in victories. Gehring made 12 saves in the win. Potsdam's Stefan Sloma allowed 13 goals and recorded 16 saves in the loss. Ryan Duffy took over in net for the Bears for the final 7:04, making two saves on four shots on goal.
The Cardinals wrap up the regular season on Saturday, hosting Geneseo on Senior Day Saturday afternoon. The SUNYAC matchup is set for 1 p.m. at the Field House Lacrosse Complex with the recognition of the 2013 senior class to take place in a pregame ceremony.

WASHINGTON, August 8, 2012 - Agriculture Secretary Vilsack today announced the award of 70 grants to tribes, educational institutions and non-profit organizations across the country to conduct training, outreach and technical assistance for socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers, and landowners.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — An outside audit report released Wednesday determined the North Tonawanda School District is financially stable, but warned that a reliance on reserve funds could lead to future problems.
Thomas P. Malecki, a certified public accountant with Drescher & Malecki, who conducts audits with 18 Western New York school districts, said that North Tonawanda held an equitable tax rate during the 2012-2013 fiscal year, which ended on June 30, and stands on firm fiscal footing, notwithstanding recent cuts to state and federal aid.
"There's a very small change from the previous year," said Matthew Montalbo, a manager at the accounting firm, who spoke in front of the Board of Education. "We look at this as pretty impressive."
In May, voters approved a $65,740,756 budget for the current fiscal year, with a 2.56 percent tax increase leading to a $26,830,000 tax levy. That generated a $21.48 tax rate for every $1,000 of assessed property value.
The district holds $17.5 million in its fund balance, with $4.7 million of that designated for the 2013-2014 budget and another $1.8 million considered unrestricted. The remaining portion of the fund balance of $10.8 million has been set aside for pension, retirement and health insurance costs.
Montalbo called the fund balance "reasonable" and said the district and the Board of Education is "not overtaxing your citizens," but noted "there's a little bit of uncertainty" with health insurance and retirement costs, as well as state aid.
"There needs to be some caution in using that fund balance," he said.
Malecki added the $4.7 million used to balance the current year's budget is sensible but could lead to problems in coming years.
"It's OK to do that," he said. "But all your costs are increasing and state and federal aid is unpredictable."
Assistant Superintendent Alan Getter said to keep tax rates in line with state mandates the district has made painful cuts to staff and programs in the face of slumping enrollment and through the precariousness of state and federal aid projections, with financial assistance from the goverment generally released late in the budget-planning process.
He also acknowledged that the district's fund balance, projected to run out by roughly 2017, wouldn't be able to help balance the budget forever but noted the district is still holding out hope that increased aid could assuage the threat.
"This year we were able to keep our expenses down," Getter said. "But if we take a major hit that could change."

CNHI News Service
IRVING, Texas – The Oklahoma State defense may face it's toughest test in its final game of the season with a Missouri team that is ranked third in the Southeastern Conference scoring offense with 39 points per game.
What makes the Tigers a dangerous offense is their balanced attack, especially since the return of quarterback James Franklin, who missed three games with an injury. Mizzou ranks in the top 5 of the SEC in both the run and pass – second in rushing offense with 236.5 yards per game and fifth in passing offense with 256.5 yards.
"It's hard because you watch them on film with what they've done against supposedly better teams in the nation (in the SEC) and better defenses in the nation, week-in and week-out they are able to move the ball on them," Cowboys' defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. "You can't find a weakness because they are so balanced."
But it's not just one player in either aspect that OSU will be able to lock in on.
Missouri has three running backs with over 500 yards on the season – not to mention Franklin with nearly 500 yards rushing himself.
Henry Josey leads the pace with 1,074 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns, followed by Russell Hansbrough with 660 and four touchdowns, and Marcus Murphy with 571 with nine touchdowns. All three of the Mizzou running backs are averaging over six yards per rush attempt.
"As a defensive coordinator, you go in wanting to stop the run game first," Spencer said. "With Josey, and even his backups, they are all explosive backs. And then you get a running quarterback involved and it gives them an extra number, so they have that element, too."
The Tigers are equally generous in the pass attack three receivers over 600 yards receiving and two others with at least 200 yards receiving.
The Missouri quarterbacks – between Franklin and Maty Mauk, who has still seen some action even with Franklin back from injury – have spread the ball around to top targets Dorial Green-Beckham, Marcus Lucas and L'Damian Washington.
"They have the biggest, strongest wide receivers we've seen all year," Spencer said. "They always come down with the ball, it doesn't have to be a perfect ball."
Green-Beckham and Lucas each have 55 catches with Green-Beckham leading the team with 12 touchdown receptions and second behind Washington with 830 yards. Despite eight fewer catches than Green-Beckham and Lucas, Washington leads the receivers with 853 yards and is second on the squad with 10 touchdowns.
"They have the ability to jump up there and make the catch at the highest point of the ball," OSU senior safety Daytawion Lowe said. "The quarterbacks kind of throw it up and they go get it at the highest point. That makes them very effective when you've got guys who can just out-jump the defensive backs."
The reason for Missouri's success in getting to the pass at the peak is the size of the receivers. Washington is the shortest of the bunch at 6-foot-4, while Lucas is 6-5 and Green-Beckham is listed at 6-6. In comparison, safety Lyndell Johnson is the tallest Cowboy in the secondary at 6-foot-3 with most other starters at cornerback and safety are right around 6-foot.
"That's one thing we've been working on is playing the ball in the air," Lowe said. "We've got to make plays on the ball and that's what it's going to come down to because their receivers are going to go up and get the ball. They've got us by a couple of inches, so it's no secret what we've got to do."

|Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation.
In terms of host response to a foreign pathogen, IL-6 has been shown, in mice, to be required for resistance against the bacterium, Streptococcus pneumoniae. IL-6 is also a "myokine," a cytokine produced from muscle, and is elevated in response to muscle contraction. Additionally, osteoblasts secrete IL-6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine.
Functions of IL-6
IL-6 is one of the most important mediators of fever and of the acute phase response. In the muscle and fatty tissue IL-6 stimulates energy mobilization which leads to increased body temperature. IL-6 can be secreted by macrophages in response to specific microbial molecules, referred to as pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). These PAMPs bind to highly important detection molecules of the innate immune system, called Toll-like receptors (TLRs), that are present on the cell surface (or in intracellular compartments) which induce intracellular signaling cascades that give rise to inflammatory cytokine production. IL-6 is also essential for hybridoma growth and is found in many supplemental cloning media. Inhibitors of IL-6 (including estrogen) are used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis[1].
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Recombinant Cytokine Proteins
Biomol offers competetively priced Interleukin-6: human IL-6, porcine IL-6 and rat IL-6.
Interleukin-6 Antibodies (Anti-IL-6)
Biomol offers a wide range of IL-6 antibodies, for WB, ELISA/EIA/RIA, ELISPOT, IP, ICC, IHC and Neutralization.
Interleukin-6 ELISA Kits (IL-6 EIA)
Biomol offers several IL-6 ELISA Kits: human 900-033 and mouse 900-045.

Silver iPhone 5s photo gallery
The silver iPhone 5s is almost as hard to get your hands on right now as the elusive gold model. Luckily I got to our local Apple Store early enough to snag a couple of the silver variants. Since we've already done a Space Gray iPhone 5s unboxing as well as a photo gallery, I'll skip to the good part, the actual phone itself!
The most notable differences externally are obviously the Touch ID sensor replacing the traditional Home button design. On the back side, the camera flash has been redesigned using what Apple calls a True Tone flash. It should ultimately create better looking images that are balanced more naturally in darker areas. We'll be the judge of that when we get around to our camera tests!
For now, enjoy browsing through the gallery below of silver iPhone 5s goodness!
There are 11 comments. Add yours.
Well done! Great shots!!!
Random question--is the home button with Touch ID about the same size in total as the old home button? It looks like the button itself got smaller to make room for the TouchID ring so that the button area as a whole stayed the same.
Just as blingy as the gold but 75% less bourgeois.
I like it.
silver is nice but I still want my gold
I like these photos. Very nice, although, I am still not a fan of the back of the phone - the bands at the top and the bottom really kill the sleek aesthetic.
Nice device. (I'm jealous) xD

Huh, all this time I've been calling my phone a white iPhone. Who knew I was sounding so uncool?
I think I am falling in love again... ;-)

The Customer Is Always Wrong
The Retail Chronicles
edited by Jeff Martin
Soft Skull Press ($12.95)
by Sarah Salter
Ever wonder if the electronics geeks are laughing as you wander lost among the plasma TVs? They are. In The Customer Is Always Wrong, Jeff Martin collects twenty-one retail worker perspectives; those going door-to-door share space with veteran shop owners and teenage cashiers. Unfortunately, many of the essays, though amusing on the surface, come down unnecessarily hard on consumers strolling in to conduct capitalist business-as-usual.
The best offerings blend self-deprecation with nuanced observation, and rise above righteous indignation to supply the most successful entertainment. Colson Whiteheads I Scream opens with mock Biblical gravity: Mine is the story of a man who hates ice cream and of the world that made him. Whitehead recognizes his own role in a crippling aversion to dessert, describing his ice cream struggles with humor instead of bitterness. Becky Pooles retail ambition to savor my neighborhood delivers results: her essay pays loving tribute to a Brooklyn blocks characters. In truth, the store feels more like a neighborhood social club, Poole writes in a sweet, balanced account. Unlike many essayists, Poole displays a refreshing refusal to exploit the manufactured separation between customer and employee.
Martin includes several experimental selections, lending a welcome diversity to the collection. C.A. Conrad provides a stream-of-consciousness meditation, taking readers into a space far more disturbing than the break roomthe mind of the angry clerk. Some days I cant believe my job is part of my life. Its so painful, and I stand there ignoring everyone and pray for the Angel of Death. In Sixteen Retail Rules, Catie Lazaruss tongue-in-cheek advice effectively mixes contempt and hilarity. When a sales clerk is helping someone else: a) Cut in, as you are in more of a hurry. Also, venting helps. In her refusal to ridicule specific customers, Lazarus mitigates the cruelty of her pointed observations, ending the volume with a much-needed buoyancy.
Despite some standouts, much of the collection falls flat. Fatigue sets in as complaints appear and reappear. Customers demand attention; weeks merge together; hard work goes unappreciated. Eventually, even a sympathetic reader feels aggrieved by the self-indulgent slant of the least introspective pieces. While those on the employee side of the counter plead for kindness from the masses, they refuse to extend that same compassion to the buyer, miring the collection in self-absorption.
The problem is that many of the less subtle narrators, fueled by outrage instead of irony, cannot recognize the eccentricities of consumers as innocuous. Most people who have done time in the retail salt-mines know the real challenge: finding a balance between employee solidarity and tolerance for foolish, but harmless, purchaser behavior. A charitable outlook confers rich material on several essayists, while annoyance poisons the rest with excessive venom. Since, as Martins title indicates, the customer is always wrong, the employee must always be right. Ultimately, this distorted perspective taints the readers pleasure.

Cedar Grove High School students will hit the road this spring for three separate overnight school-sponsored trips for musical competitions and sightseeing in our nation's capital.
The Cedar Grove Board of Education unanimously approved the trips at its meeting Tuesday night at the North End School.
The trips include:
- An April 2-3 trip by the music department to southwestern Vermont for an annual concert exchange program at Mt. Anthony Union High School in Bennington. The music ensembles will visit and perform in a music department benefit concert at the school. The Vermont high school's music ensemble will reciprocate when they travel to Cedar Grove April 5-7 for a benefit concert, also for the music department.
The Cedar Grove ensembles will be performing Les Miserables in Vermont, Cedar Grove Music Director Jennifer Jessen-Foose said, which will provide the students with opportunities for a wide range of voices.
A curriculum guide explaining the story behind the musical will accompany the student's learning and reading.
- The board also approved the music department's trip to Sandusky, Ohio from May 30 through June 2, 2013 to perform in a music festival. The trip will cost about $600 per student.
While there, the students will visit Kahalari Resort, the largest water park in the country, visit the Hard Rock Café, the Cedar Point Amusement Park and the Great Lake Science Center.
- The board also approved a five-day trip by The Advanced Placement U.S. History and Government and Politics classes to Washington, D.C., leaving May 16 and returning on May 20.
While in the nation's capital, the class is expected to witness a debate on the floor of the U.S. Congress, visit the Supreme Court as well as other sites such as the Vietnam Memorial, the White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institution. The trip will cost $500 per student.
"Last year the experiences students had were amazing," said Steven Gallagher, one of the teachers organizing the trip. "This will be an experience they are not going to get in the classroom."
"I firmly believe some of these kids will one day be working in Washington," he said.
In other news, the board presented state standardized assessment results from the 2011-2012 school year.
The board said it was pleased to see many of the scores were above state averages, but also looked for areas of improvement, singling out the Grade 7 NJASK scores, which were only 56.8 percent proficient.
Principals from each of the Cedar Grove Schools presented initiatives and ways to improve test scores to the board.
Many of the initiatives included incorporating open-ended questions and analyzing text into more classes while also holding monthly meetings between language arts teachers and math teachers to discuss areas where students may be struggling and how to improve.
"Each year it seems the (assessment) presentation gets more informative and more in depth," said Cedar Grove Board of Education President Frank Mandala. "This year we are above the state average in many areas. I only see us getting better and stronger from here."

As of now, public school students in North Carolina officially have their free speech rights restricted at least when it comes to talking about their teachers and other school officials online.
Under a misguided state law that went into effect Dec. 1, students who use computers with the intent to intimidate or torment school employees could be arrested and, in some cases, punished by up to 60 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
Many states have passed measures in recent years to protect students from bullying, but North Carolinas 2012 School Violence Prevention Act is the first in the country aimed at preventing students from cyberbullying school employees and the first to impose criminal sanctions and potentially lifelong consequences on violators.
This law may seem well-intentioned. Bullying is indeed a problem in schools and shouldnt have to be endured by anyone, students or teachers alike. But the language in this law is so vague, and its punishments so severe, that it not only attacks students basic constitutional right to free speech but also could lead to a student being arrested simply for posting comments online that a school official finds offensive even if those comments are factually true statements.
For starters, it is unclear what types of speech will be punished under the law. The terms intimidate and torment have never been fully defined in state law.
To make matters worse, the law would even criminalize students for posting online facts that are true. The law prohibits any statement whether true or false, intending to immediately provoke, and that is likely to provoke, any third party to stalk or harass a school employee.
Consider this scenario: A student posts a factually accurate comment on Facebook complaining about offensive comments a teacher made in front of several students. Would that original Facebook comment be considered intimidating or tormenting? Does the student who simply reported what the teacher said deserve to be arrested?
What if students post on a message board that they are tired of a particular teacher? Or if they use Twitter to voice their disagreement with a decision made by a certain school official? Are those now criminal acts? The law is not clear.
In North Carolina, 16- and 17-year-olds many of them high school juniors and seniors are charged criminally as adults and would therefore face actual jail time under this law. But as we all know, maturing young students often say or post things online without fully understanding their consequences. North Carolina should not be branding students with a criminal record because they made one perhaps thoughtless comment on Facebook or Twitter.
There is a greater concern at issue here, beyond this new laws immediate consequences. At the American Civil Liberties Union, we often talk about the importance of every Americans First Amendment right to free speech. Its important to remember that if we allow the government to take away someone elses rights, it can just as easily take away yours.
Criminalizing student speech of any kind is a slippery slope that establishes a very bad precedent. Young people should not be taught that they will be punished for telling the truth, speaking freely or questioning authority. If the government can criminalize students who criticize teachers online, what is to stop the government from making it illegal for any one of us to criticize some other government official, like a city council member or state legislator, whether the comments are made online or not?
The teaching cyberbullying provision of the 2012 School Violence Prevention Act is wrong for our state, our schools and our students. Lawmakers should repeal it as soon as possible to avoid causing unintended harm to this and future generations of students.
Sarah Preston is policy director of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina.

IPv4 Anycast with Linux and Quagga
Many projects provide routing protocol dæmons for Linux, any number of which would be usable for this scenario. For this article, I use Quagga, which is a fork of GNU Zebra. Quagga is available both on the install media and from the standard package repositories of pretty much every enterprise-oriented Linux distribution.
For the following examples, I also use a network populated with Cisco routers, running OSPF version 2, for IPv4. Quagga also supports BGP, RIP, RIPng and OSPFv3. The remainder of this article assumes at least a basic familiarity with OSPF theory and configuration. (See Resources for links to basic primers.) Cisco also publishes a ton of very good reference material (again, see Resources). I cover the required configuration on the router side, but not in extensive detail.
Now, let's get down to the good stuff: setting up Quagga on Linux. To begin, I describe how to install Quagga, set up a loopback alias to hold the anycast IP address and configure Quagga to talk to your local routers. Then, I go over a few optional configuration extras.
First, install Quagga. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), run yum install quagga. Substitute the appropriate package-management command for your distribution, as needed.
Next, create a loopback interface alias on the system. Configure the anycast IP address on this loopback interface. Using a loopback interface alias instead of a physical interface alias allows you to do a number of cool things. You could segment your service traffic from your administrative traffic. You could add some redundancy by responding to the anycast address on two physical interfaces, each attached to a different router or switch (although I won't go into that kind of configuration here). You also could take down the anycast interface (and, therefore, remove that interface from the anycast scheme) without affecting your ability to administer the system remotely. On RHEL, the interface configuration files are located in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/. Create a file in that directory named ifcfg-lo:0 with the following contents:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-lo:0 DEVICE=lo:0 IPADDR=10.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.255 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes
That file's format is fairly self-explanatory. You can control the lo:0 interface with your normal interface control commands (ifup, ifdown, ifconfig and so on).
Some versions of Fedora use NetworkManager to control eth0 by default. This may cause strange things to happen when you try to bring up a loopback alias. If that happens to you, add the line NM_CONTROLLED=no to /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, and restart your network. At this point, you should be able to bring up your new interface with ifup lo:0.
Now, you need to configure Quagga. By default, the Quagga configuration files are in /etc/quagga and /etc/sysconfig/quagga. There are a number of example configuration files in /etc/quagga: one for each routing protocol that Quagga supports; one for zebra, the main process; and one for the vtysh configuration. We primarily are interested in the ospfd.config and zebra.config files. The syntax in those files is similar to the standard Cisco configuration syntax, but with important differences. Also note that, by default, all routing processes bind to a dæmon-specific port on 127.0.0.1. If you configure a password for that routing process and Telnet to that port, you can monitor and configure the process on the fly using the same Cisco-like syntax. In these files, ! is the comment character:
# cat zebra.conf hostname Endpoint1 ! interface eth0 ip address 10.0.1.2/24 ! interface lo:0 ip address 10.0.0.1/32
The above file is pretty quick and easy. It contains the IP addresses and netmasks of the physical adapters and the loopback adapter that has the anycast address. This file is much more complex:
# cat ospfd.conf hostname Endpoint1 ! interface eth0 ip ospf authentication message-digest ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 foobar ip ospf priority 0 ! router ospf log-adjacency-changes ospf router-id 10.0.1.2 area 10.0.1.2 authentication message-digest area 10.0.1.2 nssa network 10.0.1.0/24 area 10.0.1.2 redistribute connected metric-type 1 distribute-list ANYCAST out connected ! access-list ANYCAST permit 10.0.0.1/32
Let's go over the above section by section, starting with the following:
interface eth0 ip ospf authentication message-digest ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 foobar
The first thing in the file is the OSPF MD5 authentication configuration. Always configure MD5 authentication on your OSPF sessions. Replace foobar with the appropriate key for your environment.
Next, we have:
ip ospf priority 0
Also set the OSPF priority to 0, which prevents the server from being elected as the Designated Router on that link.
Next come the router configuration directives:
router ospf log-adjacency-changes
log-adjacency-changes is a great configuration directive that gives you more details when there is a change in neighbor relationships between your server and any other OSPF-speaking device.
ospf router-id 10.0.1.2
Here the router ID is set to the server's service address. Router IDs must be unique within the routing domain.
We then configure this server to be in its own Not So Stubby Area (NSSA):
area 10.0.1.2 authentication message-digest area 10.0.1.2 nssa redistribute connected metric-type 1 distribute-list 5 out connected
NSSA areas are a form of stub area that limits the routes sent into the area to summary routes, but still allows external routes to come from that area. We need to allow external routes because we advertise our anycast IP address by redistributing our connected interfaces and running that through a distribute list to confine our advertised interfaces to just the anycast IP address. However, we don't want this server to have to deal with all the routes in area 0.0.0.0.
The following statement selects the interfaces that will participate in OSPF:
network 10.0.1.0/24 area 10.0.1.2
We want our eth0 interface to participate in OSPF, so we specify 10.0.1.0/24, and we put those interfaces in area 10.0.1.1.
The following line defines the access list that will allow route advertisements out:
access-list ANYCAST permit 10.0.0.1/32
Now that Quagga is configured, we need to open up the proper IP protocol number on our firewall. OSPF uses protocol number 89. The details of opening that particular protocol number will vary significantly with the firewall configuration you're using.
In general, you'll use a command like this:
# iptables -I INPUT -p 89 -j ALLOW
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
