In addition to our vertebrate ectoparasite catalog records, check out our Diptera taxonomy database. You can search for bat fly images and publications as well as current taxonomic names.
Given the obligatory relationship most ectoparasitic arthropods have with their vertebrate hosts, the host's body mostly or completely entails the universe of many parasite taxa. Our ectoparasite specimens are often associated with host voucher specimens in The Field Museum's mammal and bird collections. Because host vertebrates are vouchered with specimens and available for study alongside their parasites, coevolutionary biologists are able to measure the habitat parameters of the parasites and to confirm the host's true identity.
Most significant among the Field Museum's ectoparasite collection are the fly families Streblidae and Nycteribiidae (Diptera); our holdings of "bat flies" are unparalleled and include over 75% of the known world species, including types of 40% of known species. Recent field studies have expanded the collection to about 100,000 specimens. The chewing louse (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera and Amblycera) collection houses an estimated 20% of the described species-level taxa and has particularly important collections from the Neotropics. One of the most important Neotropical Phthiraptera collections housed here are a large series of tinamou (Aves: Tinamiformes) lice which were ruffled off of 1500 bird skins housed in The Field Museum's Bird Division collections. Ongoing research and collecting of chewing lice is expanding this collection. Significant percentages of all described species are present for ticks (Acari: Argasidae and Ixodidae), 50%; sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura), 30%; fleas (Siphonaptera), 30%, with types of over 250 species (including the R. E. Lewis collection); and parasitic mites from Australian and Neotropical hosts (fractions unknown).

Recent efforts to digitize these collections and move them to KE-EMu have initially resulted in 13,776 searchable records of bat flies and 2,118 records of lice (Pthiraptera). This ongoing work is funded in large part by grants from the National Science Foundation to Carl W. Dick, Bruce D. Patterson and colleagues (bat flies: DBI-0545051, DEB-0640331, DEB-1003459) and to Jason D. Weckstein and John M. Bates (lice: DEB-0515672, DEB-0618503). Conversion of legacy data to KE-EMu was partially supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services' support for Common Ground, IMLS CM-00-05-0050-05. We invite you to search our records for particular families, genera, or species of these ectoparasites, or to search for families, genera, or species of vertebrate hosts with ectoparasites represented in our collections. Please check back often, as specimen records are actively being added.

Users should note that the prefix "BF-" numbers used for collecting sites are database-generated site numbers; they have no historical significance and are not present on the specimen labels.
If you choose to enter more than one term in a field, only records with both terms will be returned. Searches in EMu are automatically performed as whole-word wildcard searches, i.e., entering Nycterophilia in the Scientific Name field will find all species (and undetermined material) of that genus. Partial words may be entered using an asterisk (*) for a wildcard. Searches will take more time with wildcards (*) in conjunction with partial words. Results are sorted by Scientific Name, but if there are more than 5000 records in the result set, they will be unsorted. If you choose to enter more than one term in a field, only records with both terms will be returned.

ROCK HILL — Two women were shackled at the Rock Hill jail after police arrested them when a bar brawl fraught with racial tension resulted in one getting drunk and running from police, and the other one assaulting a bouncer on Tuesday.
At about 11:45 p.m., police were sent to Empire Pizza and Bar on Old York Road where they dispersed a crowd of about 75 people who were in the parking lot, according to a Rock hill police report. During the fray, an officer noticed Leslie Collins, an 18-year-old Catawba woman, punch one of the bar's bouncers three times in his arm.
An officer tried to place handcuffs on Collins, but she pulled away and resisted arrest until an officer managed to cuff her on the hood of his patrol car, the report states. Her eyes were "glassy and bloodshot," the report states, and she had slurred speech.
Collins told police she and Fort Mill's Lacee Wetzel, also 18, each drank a Jell-O shot, the report states. The bar's manager told police that Collins and Wetzel argued with several patrons before he asked them to leave the bar.
A bouncer escorted them both in the parking lot, but the two women started to fight and Collins hit the bouncer, the report states. As officers pulled to the scene, Wetzel ran from the area toward Walmart, where police found her inside the women's restroom.
Collins told police she and a male friend were outside the bar smoking when a confrontation started with another man. The argument escalated into a shoving match between both men after a racial slur was uttered. Collins told police she tried to intervene, but the man pushed her and grabbed her neck before she took off his glasses and threw them into a growing crowd.
Collins said that's when another man, later identified as the bouncer, grabbed her from behind and she hit him, the report states. Wetzel told police she was the bar with her ex-boyfriend when an incident occurred with a man. She became belligerent, the report states, and would not give police more information.
Police took Wetzel and Collins to jail, where they shouted profanities and began pounding on glass in a cell. Police placed both women in leg shackles and charged them each with disorderly conduct and consumption of liquor under 21.

Biography / Administrative history
In 1942 the National Film Board of Canada established a photography division whose mission was to specialize in documentary photography. The division's purpose was to boost domestic confidence and increase the patriotic sentiment among the Canadian public by documenting activities of the army and the civilian population taking part in the war effort. In the 1950s, the division changed its focus to documenting everyday Canadian life, thereby promoting tourism, industry, and Canada's natural resources for the national and international audiences.
In 1970s, the section of the photo division responsible for production of documentary photography came under the jurisdiction of Information Canada. The responsibility of artistic aspects of photography remained with the Photothèque. In 1975-1976, the documentary photography section was returned to the NFB, whilst the more artistic section of the Photothèque gave rise to the establishment of the Canadian Museum of Canadian Photography in 1984. The documentary photography section of the Photothèque continued to exist, however no longer under the jurisdiction of the National Film Board but under the auspices of the Department of Supplies and Services.

SWATA conference recognizes Texas Wesleyan athletic training students, faculty
Armstrong residence halls' renovation project near completion
During a press conference to mark the sale of Texas Wesleyan University's law school Thursday, President Frederick G. Slabach talked about the negotiations, the school's strong history and its bright future.
"The transaction we celebrate today is a win-win-win scenario for Texas A&M University, the City of Fort Worth, and Texas Wesleyan University," Slabach said.
This week, the universities completed a 22-month process culminating in the sale of the downtown law school, now known as the Texas A&M University School of Law.
Slabach said the sale allows Texas Wesleyan to focus on the University's mission of both student success and the renewal of the university-area landscape through the $32 million East Rosedale Street Improvements project.
"In addition to our "Smaller. Smarter." focus on students, we will also be able to continue the truly transformative efforts already underway to revitalize our home in East Fort Worth," Slabach said.
Joining in the celebration were Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, attorney Dee Kelly Sr., community supporters and Texas Wesleyan trustees. Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp sported a Texas Wesleyan tie.
In a letter sent to faculty and staff at Texas Wesleyan, President Slabach said the university excels in the small classroom setting.
"Students can work closely with professors, ask questions and truly thrive," Slabach said. "I am confident that with this agreement we will be able to better serve those students."
A Good Deal for Texas Wesleyan
Over a five year period, the $73.2 million agreement provides $54 million for the law school as a going concern and $19.2 million for the lease / purchase option for the building and real estate.
The law school will now be named the Texas A&M University School of Law. When asked about the name change, President Slabach, former CEO of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, talked about the collaborative effort and extensive negotiations that made this agreement a good deal for everyone.
"Harry S. Truman is one of my heroes. President Truman was famous for having said, 'It's amazing what we can accomplish if we don't care who gets the credit,' " Slabach said. "I think that's what we're doing here. We're accomplishing something amazing and we're making it possible for Fort Worth to have one of the best law schools in the country and it really doesn't matter who gets the credit for it."

The game has 3 core campaigns, Allies, Soviet and German. It includes virtually no base building, the accent being on troop positioning, as well as proper timing of offensive actions, knowing how to position land mines and other things, using air support, etc. Each unit of each side speaks in it's own language(germans speak in german, americans&brits in english,soviets in russian)read more which makes the game very immersive. All in all, an excellent game, a must-buy for any strategy fan.

This game, at least this first installment, in my opinion is a true successor of Panger General series. Yes it is real time, and yes timing of a click is sometimes important, and yes, sometimes things depend on more luck than what, but still, when you see you have positioned ur anti tank properly, when you realize german 88 flak is indeed a superior weapon , when you see yourread more artillery mopping enemy artillery down, when you feel invincible while clicking your Maus tank towards hell, then you realize this game is REALLY about immersion. Its cruel, its hard, but when you get a knack of the strategy its an immense pleasure. I recommend heartily.

I bought the original way back when and as I remember it, it was a fun game. Not perfect, but enjoyable. I liked the focus on tactical battles rather than huge campaigns and resource management. It was fairly easy to pick-up and play as I recall. For the entire package you get in this bundle, I think it's a good deal. I'm sure I paid more for just the main title and I thoughtread more it was worth it.
The graphics are good and it should play on just about any system as not very resource intensive as far as CPU or GPU. If you like RTS-style war games, you'll probably like this.
Someone else here mentioned Panzer General, one of my all time favorite series, but this is nothing like PG and vice-versa. Both are good, PG is a classic, but they are very different. PG is more in the original board-game style of war games. Lots of fun and easy to play. This is definitely RTS style, but also fairly easy to play and fun.
If you liked playing with army men as a kid, you'll love this.

From Harry Potter to KONY 2012, here are the top 10 stories from across the web that you should be reading on your lunch break:
(1) Mitt Romney may have won six out of ten primary contests last night, but Rick Santorum had a Super Tuesday of his own. According to David Gregory on NBC's "Meet the Press," "Make no mistake, Rick Santorum had a SUPER Tuesday night. ... If you look in to the exit poll here, you see that Mitt Romney did not expand his coalition of support, whether it's lower-income voters, whether it's evangelical voters, extremely conservative voters, tea party voters. ... Santorum has every reason to keep going ... There's a lot for Mitt Romney to be concerned about."
(2) But, Washington Post's Karen Tumulty suggests the opposite, that Romney's rivals have scant hope of closing the delegate gap. "Though Mitt Romney's opponents continue to insist there is a road to the Republican presidential nomination for them after the Super Tuesday contests, the arithmetic suggests otherwise." She says it is almost impossible for Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich to get the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination.
(3) Apple will unveil the iPad 3 at 1:00PM today, rumored to be called the "iPad HD." Rumors have been flying around about what the tablet will look like, and The Atlantic has a great summary here:
(4) What can Harry Potter teach us about social justice? Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have cultivated an independent and powerful youth community. Dumbledore served as a role model for millions of millennials in the real world, and his influence is now becoming clear as youth movements like Gay-Straight Alliances storm plazas and demand justice. Dumbledore is an exemplar of social justice leadership.
*Sign-up for my Daily Newsletter, it's awesome. You'll be happy you did it.
(5) Kony 2012, a film produced by the charity Invisible Children raising awareness about the child soldiers of Uganda, has taken over the internet. Since it was released on YouTube on March 5th, it's been viewed several million times. But the charity and video has not come without detractors. See the summary of criticisms here.
(6) Dennis Kucinich, one of the most liberal members of Congress, suffered a primary defeat last night against Rep. Marcy Kaptur in a landslide. A redistricting fight forced the Ohio Democrats into a fierce primary fight. Kaptur is the longest-serving woman in Congress. The fight between Kucinich and Kaptur is the first of a dozen contests that will match House incumbents against each other due to redistricting in states that include Illinois, Missouri and Arizona. It is unclear what's next for Kucinich. He has spoken of possibly moving to Washington state to run in a Democratic-leaning district.
(7) Iran will be holding a national election this weekend, and all signs indicate that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is on his way out. The Atlantic reports: "As increasingly crippling sanctions and the threat of an Israeli or U.S. military strike lead the Iranian regime to dig in, Tehran's leaders appear more paranoid, more entrenched, and less willing to tolerate dissent than ever. This means locking up dissidents, bloggers, and activists, but it also means winding down Iran's more democratic elements and unifying the government into something that more closely resembles a dictatorship. And it's not just Ahmadinejad who's being shut out (few analysts believe he will survive in the government beyond 2013, when his current term ends, if he even makes it that long). The entire office of the Iranian presidency could be scrapped."
(8) Why don't more men in favor of birth control speak up? In the aftermath of the Rush Limbaugh controversy, why aren't we hearing publicly from husbands who are not ready to have children they would have to support? Or from boyfriends who do not have the means to support a child? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laura Sessions Stepp writes, "The truth is, many men of the baby boom generation would prefer not to talk about pregnancy. Fetuses are not exactly what they chat about with the mechanic who's fixing their car." Will millennial men be any different?
(9) The Economist's must-read editorial on the U.S. and Israel relationship, entitled "Auschwitz complex." "The American-Israeli relationship now resembles the sort of crazy co-dependency one sometimes finds in doomed marriages, where the more stubborn and unstable partner drags the other into increasingly delusional and dangerous projects whose disastrous results seem only to legitimate their paranoid outlook."
(10) In case you missed it, we may be seeing a lot more of Sarah Palin in 2016. "Anything is possible."

- Set up Ninject in an application and configure it either using XML or programmatically
- Learn how to control object life-time by configuring object scopes
- Wire up abstract service types to concrete implementations using bindings
- Create plugins to add new features to compiled applications dynamically
- Use Ninject in different application types such as Win Forms, Web Forms, WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET MVC, and WCF
- Inject common loggers such as log4net and NLog automatically into application components
- Test application units and automate the injection of mock objects by integrating Ninject with common mock frameworks (for example Moq or Rhino Mock)
- Register hundreds of bindings in a single line of code using the Convention configuration
- Inject the implementation of cross-cutting concerns such as logging, exception handling, or caching by interception
In Detail
Dependency injection is an approach to creating loosely coupled applications. Maintainability, testability, and extensibility are just a few advantages of loose coupling. Ninject is a software library which automates almost everything that we need in order to implement a dependency injection pattern.
Mastering Ninject for Dependency Injection will teach you everything you need to know in order to implement dependency injection using Ninject in a real-life project. Not only does it teach you about Ninject core framework features that are essential for implementing dependency injection, but it also explores the power of Ninject's most useful extensions and demonstrates how to apply them.
Mastering Ninject for Dependency Injection starts by introducing you to dependency injection and what it's meant for with the help of sufficient examples.
Eventually, you'll learn how to integrate Ninject into your practical project and how to use its basic features. Also, you will go through scenarios wherein advanced features of Ninject, such as Multi-binding, Contextual binding, providers, factories and so on, come into play. As you progress, Mastering Ninject for Dependency Injection will show you how to create a multilayer application that demonstrates the use of Ninject on different application types such as MVC, WPF, WCF, and so on. Finally, you will learn the benefits of using the powerful extensions of Ninject.
Mastering Ninject for Dependency Injection teaches you the most powerful concepts of Ninject in a simple and easy-to-understand format using lots of practical examples, diagrams, and illustrations.
Who this book is for
Mastering Ninject for Dependency Injection is aimed at software developers and architects who wish to create maintainable, extensible, testable, and loosely coupled applications. Since Ninject targets the .NET platform, this book is not suitable for software developers of other platforms. Being familiar with design patterns such as singleton or factory would be beneficial, but no knowledge of dependency injection or IoC is assumed.

The Ada News
Ada —
Back in the day before I had a GPS, I had a Jean-PS. That is to say, my wife, Jean, would position us on our way. Back in those days, my car was a Ford F-100 pickup truck without any air conditioning other than our rolled-down windows.
The air coming through tended to make the map flap and hence to be a little hard to read. When we'd been married a couple of years, we had our first daughter, whose car seat was lodged between us just above the stick shift on the floor.
This wasn't always ideal.
Once in Austin, I'd gotten lost and confused and had made a right turn on red in a place where that was not allowed. A cop pulled me over. Jean had the map open, and eldest daughter was screaming her head off when the cop walked up to the open window. He looked at Jean with the map, heard the child's mournful wails, and with pity in his heart gave me directions to where I was going —without giving me a ticket. A GPS doesn't have that sort of effect on our men in blue.

After a long 16 hour transport, 13 dogs and puppies arrived in Union Beach in search of a new life. The dogs were rescued from a high-kill shelter in Tennessee by Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue. The dogs arrived scared and hungry but were soon scampering around the yard of Castle of Dreams Intake Coordinator, Pam Frasco, as volunteer families arrived to pick up their fosters.
Executive Director of the program, Jackie Hastings, Cliffwood Beach, accompanied Frasco up to Vauxhall, New Jersey to pick up these homeless pups. Once they arrived at the designated meeting place in Vauxhall, all 13 dogs were transferred into the Castle of Dreams rescue van and driven down to Union Beach to meet their new foster families.
"These dogs were transported from Tennessee to New Jersey by two retired teachers who donated their time to save these dogs," said Hastings. "We have 13 dogs in this transport, including 6 shepherd mix puppies, 1 Bull Dog, 2 Boston terriers, a Chihuahua and 3 Shih Tzu's. All are available for adoption."
Theresa Najjar of Holmdel and her children, Kayla and Kinsey Clark and Kelly Burmeister have been fostering for over two years. They have had dogs of all ages and sizes in their home. When asked why they do it, Najjar replied, "It's sad and we cry when they leave, but then there's another dog that needs us and we do it again."
Najjar explained that the whole family takes part in the care of the dogs. The children help out and work in shifts to make sure the dogs are well cared for. Today they are fostering two of the Shepherd mix puppies from the transport.
Ilene Evans of Hazlet arrived to pick up Simba, a Shih Tzu. Her three children, Brooks, Fiona, and Scarlett were excited to see all the dogs and meet their new foster dog. The Evans' have been fostering for a year and Simba is the 11th dog they've welcomed into their home. All were adopted to great homes.
"Every time we take a dog, we save a life," said Evans. "The dogs can be a little scared for a day or two but settle in quick when they're in a home where they're loved."
Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue, all volunteer organization that includes a network of foster homes, saves over 300 dogs and puppies each year. Foster families provide food, shelter and love while the dogs wait to be adopted into their forever homes. All veterinary care, food, and necessities are supplied by Castle of Dreams. To find out more about becoming a volunteer foster family or to adopt a dog go to their website at www.castle-of-dreams.com. Donations for the veterinary care are always welcome.

Two labor market surveys for Connecticut pointed in dramatically different directions for July, leaving labor market experts puzzled about which way employment rates are trending in the state.
The state's business establishment survey, which estimates payroll jobs in businesses that are covered by unemployment insurance, showed that Connecticut added 5,100 positions in July, "a decent performance for recent times."
On the other hand, the state's household survey—a measurement of household employment, unemployment, and the state's unemployment rate—showed a sharp and dramatic decrease in employment, an increase in unemployment and a discouraging increase in the unemployment rate.
Based on the household survey, the estimate of unemployed people, seasonally adjusted, was higher by 8,600 (5.6%) from June 2012 to 163,300 in July, and the unemployment rate climbed higher four-tenths of a percentage point to 8.5%, back to the same level measured for October 2011. The July 2012 United States unemployment rate was 8.3%, up one-tenth of a percentage point over the month.
If the household survey numbers are true, Connecticut is now back above the national unemployment rate.
"Both can't be true"
"They both can't be true," said Andy Condon, the director of the Office of Research at the Connecticut Department of Labor, of the establishment survey and the household survey. "These programs have been vital to our understanding of economic conditions in Connecticut, but we will have to wait until more data comes in to see if July's results were a statistical anomaly or an early indicator of a turning point in the economy, as yet uncorroborated by other data."
Condon, on a teleconference call with reporters Thursday morning, said he has not ever seen a discrepancy this sharp between the numbers. He said explaining the discrepancy is difficult, if not impossible.
"There are two possibilities. One is that these are different surveys and different populations measuring the same thing. Since they are both sample-based surveys, it's possible that one or the other is anomalous this month. That isn't very likely, but it's possible," he said. "The second set of possibilities is that you can't discount the fact that the household survey is giving us an early indicator of unemployment that we're not seeing elsewhere. Only time will tell us whether that is true."
Locally, unemployment rates for Clinton ticked up in June to 6.4 percent, from 6.2 percent in May, but better than April's 6.6 percent. June's figures are an improvement over January of 2012 when the unemployment rate in Clinton was 7.4 percent.
Those numbers, provided by the state Department of Labor, are not seasonally adjusted and are the latest available for the town. See this list from the Connecticut Department of Labor for numbers for other towns.
"They typically move in similar directions"
Condon said one survey is not considered more reliable than the other. "They typically move in similar directions, this is unusual," he said. He said he did not think other states are seeing similar discrepancies, but that in some cases in the past, numbers have had to be revised in subsequent months.
The business establishment survey, which showed that Connecticut added 5,100 positions in July, showed those gains across the board in a wide variety of jobs, Condon said, including manufacturing, business services, and health care.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, in a prepared statement, said he was "skeptical" about the numbers.
"A gap of this magnitude has never happened"
"I am skeptical about the jobs numbers released today ... A gap of this magnitude between these two surveys has never happened in the 22 years they've been conducted."
"To buy into the household survey number you'd have to believe that Connecticut lost 503 jobs every day during the month of July, and there's just no evidence to suggest that happened. Unemployment claims have drifted upward, but not at a rate that justifies the household survey numbers. Hence the skepticism."
Malloy said it is clear that people do come flooding back into the job market once a recovery is underway, since they are more optimistic they can find work, causing the unemployment rate to go up. Also, he said, it takes more than 20 months to turn around a state economy that "failed, on a net basis, to grow jobs for more than 20 years."
State's recovery affected by external factors
Finally, he noted, the state's recovery is affected by external factors, including the struggling national recovery and uncertainty in Europe.
"The phrase 'worst economic downturn since the Great Depression' is used so often, we've become immune to the words. But they're true. So, it should come as a surprise to no one that pulling the country and our state out of that downturn is hard. Really hard," he said. "But let me be clear: we are making progress, and I have every confidence we'll continue to make progress. Just yesterday, we announced an agreement that will retain more than 1,200 high paying jobs with good benefits and create up to 1,000 more in our state. It's also important to remember that the private sector in Connecticut has created more than 23,000 jobs since January of 2011, according to the employer survey."
The details as reported by the state Department of Labor are in a press release posted with this story.

The chmod Command
Let's return to test_file to examine the X option.
$ chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r test_file -rw-r--r-- 1 eric users $ chmod o+X test_file -rw-r--r-- 1 eric users $ chmod u+x test_file -rwxr--r-- 1 eric users $ chmod o+X test_file -rwxr--r-x 1 eric users
In the first command, we see that we can set options for more than one class at a time by using a comma to separate the mode specifications. Here, we set the mode so that no user has execute permission. In the second command, we try to set execute permission for other with X. This fails, because X only works when one of the classes already has execute permissions. When we add execute permissions for owner, X sets executable permission for other.
The s option sets or removes set UID (SUID) and set GID (SGID) mode. These modes are very important in terms of UNIX/Linux security. When a file has SUID mode set, the process executing it has the effective rights of the file's owner for the duration of the program's execution.
For example, the program dip is used to create SLIP network connections. This requires root access, because creating a network interface device requires root access. Instead of forcing users to become root in order to use dip, which would require that the users know the root password, the dip program can belong to root and have the SUID mode set.
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/dip -r-s--x--- 1 root dip
The s in the spot for user's execute field indicates the SUID mode is set. Another example of a use for the SUID mode is the passwd program, which allows users to modify the passwd (or shadow) file.
For security reasons, the SUID bit can affect only binary programs; it has no effect on shell scripts in Linux.
The SGID mode sets the group instead of the owner, and is set with (for example) g+s. It also has another purpose.
When a user creates a new file the group ownership defaults to the user's default group, which is the one listed in the passwd file. Sometimes users belong to more than one group and want to share files. The SGID mode can provide a convenient method for this. If the SGID mode bit is set for a directory, new files created in that directory will belong to that group, regardless of the creator's default group. If you belong to more than one group, try this. (You can check what groups you belong to with the id command. The default group is listed first, and you can use the chgrp command to change the group ownership of a file to another group you are a member of.)
$ mkdir test_dir $ chgrp nondefault test_dir $ chmod g+s test_dir $ touch test_dir/foo $ ls -l test_dir/foo -rw-rw-r-- 1 eric nondefault
The SUID and SGID modes can be a security hole. However, when used carefully, they are very valuable tools and actually enhance system security by providing an alternative to distributing important passwords.
Specifying user classes can be used to simplify copying permissions.
$ chmod g=u test_file -rwxrwxr-x 1 eric users
This copied the permissions from user to group. All of the classes can be used on the right side of the +, - or = operators in this way.
$ chmod o-u test_file -rwxrwx--- 1 eric users
This cleared all of the permissions that user has from other.
The last mode listed above is the t option, known as the "sticky bit". This mode is actually supported on the command line for compatibility purposes with shell scripts from older operating systems. It is not needed for Linux. If an installation guide instructs you to use it, it actually does nothing.
File access modes can also be set using octal notation. This syntax is built by adding the mode fields together. For each user class, the fields are calculated this way:
4 Read
2 Write
1 Execute
Full permissions for any class would be 7, no permissions would be 0.
$ chmod 754 test_file -rwxr-xr-x 1 eric users
The classes are passed to chmod in the same order ls displays them. The mode we set is broken down this way:
Owner = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 Group = 4 + 1 = 5 World = 4 = 4
Octal mode is convenient because other utilities, such as find, expect modes to be expressed this way.
In octal mode, SUID and SGID are set by specifying them in another column before the user mode. For SUID use 4, for SGID use 2, and use 6 for both:
$ chmod 4755 test_file -rwsr-xr-x 1 eric users
Re: Take Command: The chmod Command
is it possible to explain the meanings and values of those chmod numbers. e.g chmod 750
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.

How much does it cost to be a Girl Scout?
Girl Scouts is unlike many other youth activities in that it depends on active adult involvement (volunteers) rather than charging large fees. Because of this, the national membership dues are only $15 per year and include accident and activity insurance.
Most Girl Scouts participate in the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program. The 'learnings and earnings' from this and a Fall Product Sale are what girls use for planning, budgeting and paying for most of their own activities. Additionally, most troops ask girls to contribute "Troop Dues," a small amount of money which is collected at each meeting.
Uniforms are not mandatory but certain components (vest or sash, troop number patches, pin, etc.) help identify your daughter as a Girl Scout - both personally and to the community. You may want to hold off on purchasing uniforms until you've met with your daughter's troop leader, since they may have what you need available for purchase at your next troop meeting.
A parent's financial status should not affect a girl's ability to participate in Girl Scouts. Therefore, no girl will be denied membership because of an inability to pay. Girl Scouts of Gateway Council's Financial Assistance Program is available to help with dues and variety of activity fees.
Do you know this girl?
She knows herself. She values friendship. She is ethical, smart and aware. She respects the environment, knowledge, and those who guide her. She is independent, kind, and powerful. She has qualities, skills, and talents and uses them to make a difference in the world. She is a Girl Scout.

Discussing a bond sale and timeline tops the agenda for the Wapello County Supervisors when they meet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the county courthouse.
Wapello County Supervisor Steve Siegel said Friday that Tim Oswald of Piper Jaffray will discuss the bond sale and timeline with the supervisors during the meeting.
Also, Oswald will talk with the board about considering bonding to pave some roads and do overlays on others.
"Oswald and Piper Jaffray will help us with the details of timing the annual payment and interest rates," Siegel said.
The bonding firm also helped Wapello County with completing Rock Bluff Road, and the I-JOBS funding helped with the Chillicothe Bridge.
About a year ago the city applied for a federal grant to assist in resurfacing Iowa Avenue near the Cargill Meat Solutions plant. Wapello County didn't get the grant so they applied for a Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) grant through the Iowa Department of Transportation.
Other items on the board's agenda include:
— The second reading of the Wapello County Ordinance, Title I, Chapter 5, Local Option Sales and Services Tax.
— A resolution to authorize county officers to destroy records more than 10 years old.

Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania
B.A. University of Richmond
Since starting to learn German many years ago, my studies have taken me to the University of Richmond for my B.A. in German and English, the Freie Universität Berlin for Fulbright research, the Universität zu Köln, the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, and the University of Pennsylvania for my Ph.D in German Literature.
My primary research interest has always been in theatre and performance studies, but my current work focuses on the intersection of theatrical performance with disability, gender, and queer theory for my dissertation, Performance Prosthetic: Figuring Heimat in 20th-century German Theater.
In recent years, I have presented on a variety of topics in that area, including Georg Kaiser's Von morgens bis mitternachts, Ernst Toller's Hinkemann, and Friedrich Dürrenmatt's Besuch der alten Dame, but have also written and spoken on several works that fall considerably earlier, such as Daniel Caspar von Lohenstein's baroque tragedy Epicharis, Charlotte von Stein's drama Dido, and C.M. Wieland's novel Geschichte des Agathon.
As a teacher, I'm always looking for new ways for students to experience the course material, whether through performance or other forms of alternative engagement that bring us together as a learning community. At Penn, I received the School of Arts and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching by a Graduate Student, and teaching continues to play a central role in my work as a scholar. I have also organized several conferences and colloquia, and place great value on establishing venues for students to exchange ideas and inspire intellectual creativity in their peers.
If not at my desk or in the classroom, I am most likely to be in the pool, polishing up my synchronized swimming skills, or else vainly attempting to catch up on everything both wonderful and terrible that we call television. I am also the managing director of German-American theatre company Kinderdeutsch Projekts, which has performed in New York City, Bangkok, Berlin, Hildesheim, and San Francisco, and plans to adapt Walter Hasenclever's Die Menschen for a future production.

Speaking of the first game, Madness Returns seems to look and play almost exactly like it…and that is definitely not a bad thing. up98

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Officially, this year's Republican primary in the state senate's 62nd District involves two candidates — incumbent George Maziarz, R-Newfane, and challenger Johnny Destino.
There is, however, another figure who has been working hard on this year's campaign — one-time gubernatorial candidate and longtime Western New York developer Carl Paladino.
Paladino insists he's less interested in supporting Destino than he is in de-throning Maziarz. In an interview this week, he made one thing clear: He views the 62nd District race as a starting point in a larger campaign aimed at shaking up the status quo in Albany, Republicans and Democrats alike.
"This is an opportunity," Paladino said, referring to his interest in the 62nd Senate District race. "George is a poster child for all the things that are wrong in Albany."
Paladino says he did not ask or encourage Destino to enter the race and is not financing his campaign. Paladino freely admits to tapping into his own resources to deliver mailers and purchase ads opposing Maziarz in the week's leading up to Thursday's primary. Those pieces of literature have been highly critical, questioning the incumbent's campaign finances and donations while suggesting, as senator, Maziarz has helped line up patronage positions for dozens of loyal campaign supporters, friends and family members.
Paladino said he's trying to help voters "connect the dots" when it comes to Maziarz because he wants them to see what he sees: An 18-year incumbent and "Republican in name only" who is more interested in self-preservation than serving the people. He contends Maziarz has had plenty of time to address issues that matter — taxes, utility costs, jobs — but hasn't delivered, in part, because he's too busy cozying up to campaign donors and political power players downstate.
"George is very good at handing out bread crumbs," Paladino said. "He does little things here and there. It's the big things that count."
Maziarz, who supported Paladino during his unsuccessful run for governor in 2010, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. During the campaign, Maziarz has consistently stood by his record of achievement, noting that district voters have liked his performance enough to return him to office
year after year. During a recent candidates forum at the Niagara Falls public library, he dismissed his opponents' criticisms as misrepresentations and touted what he described as several recent accomplishments, including support for the new Recharge New York low-cost power program and the development of a new terminal at the Niagara International Falls Airport.
Maziarz is facing a winner-take-all situation when it comes to the GOP line. Thursday's victor will face endorsed Democrat Amy Hope Witryol in the general election. Paladino believes Destino is the best candidate in the race and thinks he would offer a welcome change in the 62nd District, which encompasses all of Niagara County.
"I have found Johnny Destino to be a credible man of integrity and values," Paladino said. "We need new blood. We need people who are going to go there and stand up and say what has to be said."
Maziarz picked up an endorsement of his own Tuesday. The National Federation of Independent Business, a group that advocates for small business owners across New York, endorsed Maziarz for re-election, calling him a "staunch defender" of small business in the legislature.
"Senator Maziarz has stood with small business to help enact the property tax cap, reduce energy costs and enact two consecutive fiscally responsible budgets," said NFIB's state Director Mike Durant.
Destino insisted he's not receiving direct campaign support from Paladino and his campaign is not connected to the information being put out by the Buffalo developer. While he welcomes Paladino's support, Destino said he does not necessarily agree with all of his positions.
"Carl is supporting several candidates who believe that we need new leadership in Albany. I just happen to be one of them," Destino said.
Paladino said he intends to continue campaigning long after Thursday's primary, regardless of the outcome. He believes state leaders, and state GOP leaders in particular, have lost their way and need to be refocused on issues that matter to the general public. While he has targeted Maziarz in the run-up to the primary, Paladino vowed to continue to oppose the campaigns of all candidates he considers out of sync with the needs of the people of Western New York.
"We're letting people know that the rank-and-file people are disgusted with the leadership," Paladino said.
"I'm a grassroots person," Paladino added. "I'm an anti-establishment person. I will spend the rest of my life changing the Republican Party and changing New York state for the betterment of the people here."

The ingredients are correct in this recipe but it is missing a step that would solve the runniness problem. You must drain the yogurt in a colander for a few hours. This is the way they do it the Greek restaurants. You should also salt and drain the cucumbers for an hour. I tried this recipe and drained the yogurt first and it was great!
Good, but PLEASE NOTE: yogurt will break down if it is stirred with too much force--especially using a food processor! This is why some people had runny results even after draining the yogurt overnight. Instead, chop everything else up separately and gently fold it into the yogurt with a spatula.
This is some pretty tasty sauce! So good, in fact, that I spent the rest of the evening scouring my pantry and fridge for things to dip into it! Very garlicky so it's a bit hot...but I love garlic so that's OK with me. I incorporated several of the tips that I found from reading other reviews: drained the fat-free yogurt in cheese cloth over a bowl in the fride overnight, shredded the cukes then salted them and let them drain all day...I even patted them a bit with a paper towel to absorb some more moisture, and I mixed everything together very gently and let sit in the fridge to develop it's flavor. WELL worth the effort! This sauce was BETTER than many I've had out! Thanks so much Dinah! Now I have a way to satisy my craving for Greek food!

One never knows what is in store when visiting the old neighborhood. Surprises come at odd moments from long standing friends...
Last week I received a ring from my wine enthusiast friend Dr. Peter White of Upland. The Australian-born White is an outgoing and spirited sort of guy who resides with his wife Sue in their English cottage-style home in San Antonio Heights, just around the corner from my former residence.
"Hey Mate, why don't you come around this evening for dinner. I believe I have a good bottle from the cellar for us?" he asked. Good thinking Dr. White!
Wine cellars are of great interest to me and the Whites' does not disappoint. Constructed from stone in a corner of the basement, the temperature is ideal for bottle storage and the wood racks were constructed from historic wine casks.
"Our home was built in 1926 and is more typical of East Coast homes in that it has a small basement," said White. "The previous owner kept his gun collection but I have put the cellar to better use by converting it into a wine cellar."
The bottle selected by the good doctor was a 1985 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon from Dunn Vineyards' Howell Mountain vines - the first Napa Valley microclimate to be designated an American Viticultural Area (AVA) praised for complex wines of earthy austerity and elegant robustness.
"This wine was a gift to Sue and I in 1994 from a friend who lived in Sonoma," said White.
"I did not know of the vineyard - never heard of it, but Sue's maiden name was Dunn and our friend was raving about it, so it must have been a good one. It was placed in a dark corner and ignored until I discovered that the wax around the top of the bottle was disintegrating. Seemed like it was time to pull the cork."
Dunn Vineyards produces two different labels, Howell Mountain and Napa Valley. Both are 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. We researched both online and learned that the blend of grapes is slightly different in each, and the bottles differ as well.
The Napa Valley has a foil capsule top, and the Howell Mountain was hand dipped in red wax. The Howell Mountain wine label reads both the sub appellation "Howell Mountain" and "Napa Valley" appellation. The Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is usually more approachable at a younger age with softer tannins. Whereas, the Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is massive in fruit and tannins.
Overlooking St. Helena from the Vaca Range on the valley's northeast side, the area encompasses approximately 600 acres of vines. The region receives cool Pacific breezes and due to the elevation, the climate here is characterized by moderate temperatures that are cooler than in most other parts of the valley.
While vineyards in the valley are often blanketed in fog, those on the mountain are enjoying sunshine. Howell Mountain is well-known for its Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) and Zinfandel.
Soil and weather have great effect on variety and intensity of the fruit. There are two main soil types on Howell Mountain, volcanic ash, and red clay high in iron. Both soil types are nutrient poor and stress the vines, which delivers intense wines from small grape clusters/berries. Howell's altitude, rocky, and dry soil conditions offers wines with firm structure, incredible varietal intensity, and excellent aging properties.
Tasting notes:
Hard to imagine that this red was harvested and fermented in 1985 - way back to the days of President Reagan, and for a 27+ year old Cabernet, it was still bright red in color. Dark fruit, soft on the palate with cedar, tobacco, and hints of leather and herbal notes.
Good structure, superb balance and length. Bordeaux-like in style which we both appreciated. Not overly intense, but an elegant red that really benefited from decanting (about an hour). By the way, after breaking away the wax capsule, I broke the old cork while removing. Of course the remains fell into the bottle, so the pour was ultimately made successful through a cheesecloth filter that we made. So long cork particles!
As we sniffed and swirled the juice and enjoyed Sue's delicious roasted turkey dinner, the wine continued to improve in many layers.
"High praise for this one. I'm glad we drank it before it died," said White. "What a drop, Mate."
I grinned and asked, any more bottles down there?

In the low-key race for the 35th Senate District, we recommend Republican state Rep. Darwin Booher of Evart. The 68-year-old Booher has served three terms in the House; before that he was a township supervisor for 28 years. Booher is a common-sense, low-key lawmaker worried about results, not politics. He wants the new governor to look closely at every department and the "whole tax structure, period."
Democrat Roger Dunigan has run a good campaign but can't compete with Booher's experience.
• • •
In the 37th Senate District, the clear recommendation is republican Howard Walker. The 55-year-old Walker served three terms in the state House, through 2008, then decided to seek the Senate seat of term-llimited Jason Allen. Walker has been a consistent advocate of equitable school funding and said his emphasis in the Senate would be on jobs and the economy.
, specifically on growing energy-related business and value-added agriculture.

American Visions: The Epic History of Art in America
Knopf, 1997 - 635 pagina's
The intense relationship between the American people and their surroundings has been the source of a rich artistic tradition. American Visions is a consistently revealing demonstration of the many ways in which artists have expressed this pervasive connection. In nine eloquent chapters, which span the whole range of events, movements, and personalities of more than three centuries, Robert Hughes shows us the myriad associations between the unique society that is America and the art it has produced:. "O My America, My New Founde Land" explores the churches, religious art, and artifacts of the Spanish invaders of the Southwest and the Puritans of New England; the austere esthetic of the Amish, the Quakers, and the Shakers; and the Anglophile culture of Virginia. "The Republic of Virtue" sets forth the ideals of neo-classicism as interpreted in the paintings of Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, and the Peale family, and in the public architecture of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Latrobe, and Charles Bulfinch. "The Wilderness and the West" discusses the work of landscape painters such as Thomas Cole, Frederick Church, and the Luminists, who viewed the natural world as "the fingerprint of God's creation," and of those who recorded America's westward expansion - George Caleb Bingham, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Remington - and the accompanying shift in the perception of the Indian, from noble savage to outright demon. "American Renaissance" describes the opulent era that followed the Civil War, a cultural flowering expressed in the sculpture of Augustus Saint-Gaudens; the paintings of John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and Childe Hassam; the Newport cottages of the super-rich; and the beaux-arts buildings of Stanford White and his partners. "The Gritty Cities" looks at the post-Civil War years from another perspective: cast-iron cityscapes, the architecture of Louis Henri Sullivan, and the new realism of Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, the trompe-l'oeil painters, and the Ashcan School. "Early Modernism" introduces the first American avant-garde: the painters Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Joseph Stella, Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, and Georgia O'Keeffe, and the premier architect of his time, Frank Lloyd Wright. "Streamlines and Breadlines" surveys the boom years, when skyscrapers and Art Deco were all the rage ... and the bust years that followed, when painters such as Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis, Thomas Hart Benton, Diego Rivera, and Jacob Lawrence showed Americans "the way we live now." "The Empire of Signs" examines the American hegemony after World War II, when the Abstract Expressionists (Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, et al.) ruled the artistic roost, until they were dethroned by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, the Pop artists, and Andy Warhold, while individualists such as David Smith and Joseph Cornell marched to their own music. "The Age of Anxiety" considers recent events: the return of figurative art and the appearance of minimal and conceptual art; the speculative mania of the 1980s, which led to scandalous auction practices and inflated reputations; and the trends and issues of art in the 1990s.
