Delhi village historian Shirley Houck, who died Wednesday at age 87, was remembered Thursday by Mayor Richard Maxey as "a petite lady (who) did big things."
"About 20 years ago, Shirley fulfilled all the requirements to receive a combined grant. The funds were used to establish a controlled atmospheric archival room in Village Hall where village and town government records are stored," Maxey recalled.
Jeannette DeWitt said she got to know Houck through one of the historian's numerous research projects.
"That gravestone was my husband's grandfather," DeWitt said. "We also told Shirley about another Civil War gravestone in our family cemetery on our Delhi home property. That was my husband's mother's brother-in-law."
"Shirley worked hard, getting all the details and copying our family papers to record at the village and county level," DeWitt said. "She was a wonderful person and will be missed. "
In addition to her work preparing an archive of village history, Houck contributed to the county's records, working part-time as the county's records clerk.
"She came in to work right up until she got sick," Delaware County Clerk Sharon O'Dell remembered.
O'Dell called Houck "dedicated and very helpful, adding that "Her grasp on the Anti-Rent War history was amazing.
When space opened up in the basement of the Delhi Courthouse, Houck helped move the county archives into the new space.
Delaware County Records Management Specialist Deb Lambrecht remembered the day Houck wore sandals to work and a mole who had found its way into the basement nibbled her toe.
"Shirley dubbed us the 'Basement Moles' after that," Lambrecht said.
Houck's legacy includes a genealogical archive that had drawn praise from near and far.
"Shirley's forte was genealogy," Lambrecht explained. "Genealogists visit the county archives to do research, and rave about the excellence of the system."
The archive, which includes records from the American Revolution and Civil War, war discharges, divorce records, civil records, maps for the reservoirs, naturalization records, cemetery information, and more, was carefully compiled, organized and indexed by Houck.
"It was her index system that makes the research easier," Lambrecht said. "I wish I could have hooked Shirley up to a computer and downloaded her."

New Music: Justin Bieber f/ Tyga – 'Stuck in the Moment (Remix)'
Tyga shares a moment with Justin Bieber on the remix to "Stuck in the Moment," a leftover from the teen idol's recent release Never Say Never – The Remixes. The mid-tempo jam, revamped with an electro-inspired beat, features the Young Money rapper spitting a few emotional bars about being forced apart from his girl.
"This is kind of how my heart sound/ Every beat like an image in the background/ I'm sitting here, thinking where is you now?/ I wanna tell you but it's too many people 'round," he emotes. Get lost in the unreleased tune below.

By Victor Omelczenko
As a 10-year resident of West Hollywood, I've lived in three different neighborhoods -- the Eastside near Plummer Park, the Westside in the Norma Triangle, and now the Center City just south of Laurel Avenue Park (the former Weisman/Tara homestead). I've participated in city meetings and spoken before the city council, but this is the first time I've really spent time with a proposed city budget, and I've found several items which concern me greatly.
*Given the recent pension reforms that voters in San Diego and San Jose overwhelmingly voted for, the below excerpt from Page 30 of the WEHO budget particularly struck me:
Wages & Fringe Benefits are the City's largest expenditure making up approximately 38 percent of General Fund expenditures in the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget. Wages and fringe benefits have increased due to several factors, the most significant being the completion and implementation of a city-wide classification and compensation study in June of 2006, moving to an enhanced retirement system in December of 2007 (QUESTION: what were these enhancements and when were they ever publicly discussed?), and the increasing cost of PERS retirement benefits (QUESTION: why are these increasing?). These increases have resulted in significant growth in wages and fringe benefits spending over the last few years, (OBSERVATION: during the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression!) but the City does not anticipate any additional significant change in wages and fringes anytime soon.
Then, on Budget Page 24, a table on the "Use of Operating Funds" shows the following for Wages & Fringes:
- FY 2010 Actual: $24,049,157
- FY 2011 Actual: $28,134,397
- FY 2012 Budget: $27,828,252
- FY 2013 Proposed: $29,009,483
- FY 2014 Proposed: $30,380,654
OBSERVATION: That's a 26 percent increase from 2010 to 2014 for wages and fringes during a time of severe belt-tightening and recession.
Also, the proposed budget asks for an increase of 5 full-time equivalent positions, from 203 to 208 city employees. One wonders whether all of this is ultimately sustainable.
*Pages 10-11 mention creation of a Special Events Manager position and an Economic Development and Cultural Affairs Coordinator at the same time that they call for elimination of one Code Compliance Officer.
Given community concerns – such as those emanating from the Hudson Block Party debacle, the flouting of noise rules by the Mondrian Skybar, etc – I'd prefer more emphasis on compliance and enforcement, and recommend that this code compliance position NOT be eliminated.
*On Budget Page 13, it's good to read that the General Fund remains strong but disconcerting that special revenue funds are running continued deficits. I don't think any of us like "continued deficits." Thus, I am concerned that, while the city has enough funds from Proposition A to support transit-related social services (such as taxi coupons and Dial-A-Ride), there is not enough for 2013-2104.
Where is the city proposing to get funds for these needed services?
What will be cut to support them or what are the new revenue streams?
* Page 14 says that the Sunset Boulevard Business Improvement District (BID) fund remains in deficit due to unpaid BID assessments by some of the current and former businesses. The city is working toward collecting long-standing receivables. How much money are we talking about here and why are the receivables so "long-standing?"
*Page 10 mentions that the WEHO Rent Stabilization and Housing Department will be become a division within the current Human Services Department. As a renter, I was concerned about this development.
However, upon closer inspection, what are being eliminated are two high-level management positions -- that of the former RSHD Director (Allyne Winderman) and Housing Manager (Jeffrey Skorneck) who have now left the city's employ. With 1 rent stabilization manager and 11 other rent control counselors/project development administrators remaining onboard, it appears that functions related to rent stabilization/control are NOT being eliminated, and that's a good thing.
*Page 246 regarding a new "West Hollywood Civic Building" frankly startled me and Steve Martin has written a lengthier post on this topic for the Patch. I went to the city's new General Plan, and nowhere could I find mention of such an idea. The 28 action items identified under "Infrastructure, Resources and Conservation" of the General Plan do not mention a new civic building. How did this idea come about at a time when a new $16 million parking garage has been touted to the community as a much-needed improvement for keeping the current City Hall operating smoothly? I say stay put on Santa Monica Blvd. at Sweetzer in the Center City, and do NOT approve a $212,000 feasibility study for a new city hall.
*It is wonderful that the city is environmentally attuned to green building standards and that the Human Services Department is involved in a "Greening West Hollywood Plan." But what I would like to see additionally is more green spread throughout and remaining on the actual ground of our tiny city. Some officials will remember my speaking twice in closed City Council session urging purchase of the lot that served as the now closed Norwich Community Garden. When the price dropped to $650,000 (from a previously outlandish $1 million), I would have thought the City would have grabbed at the opportunity, but it has been lost.
I wonder why this opportunity was never publicly discussed as was the renting of the lot for the new Detroit Street (at Lexington) community garden on the Eastside? I do thank the city for the new Detroit garden, but where's the transparency regarding the Norwich lot on the Westside? Was there a vote on buying the Norwich lot, and who voted for it and who voted against it? I urge the city to set aside $600,000 for possible future purchase of empty lots that could serve as pocket parks or community gardens.
*And as a former member of the city's 2011 Bicycle Task Force and now a member of the newly-formed West Hollywood Bicycle Coalition (financially operating under the umbrella of the recognized non-profit Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition), I thank the city for the new bicycle lanes along San Vicente Blvd. and look forward to continued bicycling enhancements as identified under capital improvement projects related to Pedestrian Safety (Page 247), Pedestrian & Bike Improvements (Page 249), Neighborhood Traffic Control (Page 250), and Streetscape Furnishings (Page 262).
I urge all of those who visit the Patch to take some time, if possible, to look at the budget. It can be daunting, but check the Table of Contents, find subjects that really resonate with you, and make your views known to the city, whether in writing or at the June 18 City Council meeting.

State troopers and cleanup crews spent yesterday afternoon and evening clearing a morning school bus and tractor-trailer collision.
The accident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Route 18 near Halltown Road, north of Wampum and involved a Mohawk Area School District bus.
The two drivers suffered major injuries, according to state police. They were flown to St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown.
The school bus driver, 51-year-old Wynell Dessau of New Castle, is listed in serious condition. Daniel McAdoo, 56, of Washington, Pa., the rig driver, is in critical condition.
A 14-year-old boy, the only student on the bus, sustained face cuts and according to police was treated at Jameson Hospital. The hospital did not release his identity.
Reports from witnesses were that the bus driver was thrown from the bus upon impact and was lying on the highway pavement but was conscious.
Route 18 in that area was closed to traffic for about 12 hours, reopening around 7:30 p.m.

EAST ST. LOUIS — For the first time since his arraignment in May on federal heroin-possession and weapons charges, former St. Clair County Judge Mike Cook appeared in court on Monday.
Cook's lawyers, Thomas Q. Keefe III and William Lucco, told U.S. District Judge Joe McDade they were still unsure whether Cook would plead guilty or go to trial on the charges.
A trial date was set for Dec. 9.
"With the understanding that if you want to enter a change of plea, I can make a special trip to accommodate that," McDade told the lawyers.
Lucco initially requested a January trial date, telling the judge that Cook was in a Minnesota drug treatment facility since May and was only released a couple of weeks ago, making Cook unavailable to help with his defense. Lucco also told the judge that he was still reviewing the investigative reports.
McDade initially told the lawyers he wanted a trial date in late October or early November, but when McDade and the lawyer checked their calendars the earliest date was Dec. 9.
Cook didn't speak during the hearing. He also declined to comment to reporters after the hearing.
Cook was arrested by federal agents on May 22 outside a home on North 38th Street in Belleville. He was later charged with misdemeanor possession of heroin. He was also charged with a felony of being a user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm.
Lucco said Monday that Cook did not actually have a gun with him at the time of his arrest.
Under federal law, users of controlled substances, such as cocaine or heroin, are barred from possessing a firearm. Steve Beckett, a law professor at the University of Illinois, said the federal statute is rarely used. Beckett said he's never seen the statute used in his practice in federal court.
"The prosecution would have to prove that at the time a gun was possessed, the person was using drugs or addicted to drugs," Beckett said.
Keith Williams, who wrote a paper on federal firearms laws and practices federal criminal defense in Greenville, N.C., said that these kinds of prosecutions are rare.
"I have seen a few, but they that aren't common," Williams said.
Under the law, Williams and Beckett said possession of the gun may either be "active" possession, having physical control of the gun, or "constructive" possession, keeping the gun in a place where an individual has actual control of it without being in physical possession. For example, Beckett said a person could be in constructive possession of a weapon if the gun were kept in a safe-deposit box and the defendant has the key.
Lucco said during the hearing, "It's an interesting case, from a lawyer's point of view."
Beckett agreed.
"If I was a betting man, I would say that case has definite defense possibilities," Beckett said.
There have been challenges to the statute under the Second Amendment, but the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which reviews judges' decisions from the Southern District of Illinois, has upheld prosecutions, said Cody Jacobs, a staff attorney for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Cook's former client and friend, Sean McGilvery, who lived at the North 38th Street house faces charges of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute heroin.
Former St. Clair County Probation Officer James Fogarty was also charged in May with possession with intent to deliver cocaine. Fogarty told federal agents that he used and sold cocaine to Cook and Joe Christ, a longtime St. Clair County prosecutor.
Christ died only 10 days after being sworn as an associate judge. Christ was at Cook's hunting cabin in Pike County. An autopsy later revealed that Christ died of cocaine toxicity.
Deborah Perkins, 65, and her son, Douglas Oliver, also face heroin distribution charges. The two entered guilty pleas and await sentencing. Perkins made numerous trips to Chicago with McGilvery. Perkins and Oliver are set for sentencing on Dec. 13.
Fogarty and McGilvery are both set for trial on Nov. 18.

Guess Im gonna have to like the new guy from Canada since he likes the 270 Winchester! lol
Guess Im gonna have to like the new guy from Canada since he likes the 270 Winchester! lol
If you MUST pick ONE caliber to use for BOTH deer and antelope and those are your ONLY 2 choices then I would say go for the 270. However, as others have pointed out, if you are more flexible with your choices then I would agree with the 25-06 as a better option for both deer and antelope. My personal preference is to use a more optimal caliber for each, in which case I use a 243 for antelope, a 7mm mag for deer, and a 338 mag for elk.
I find it very interesting that the 30-06 that was developed 108 years ago (actually 111 years ago when it started out as the 30-03) is still the caliber that every caliber developed since is compared to. With all the new technology in the last 100+ years we really havent come very far. Realistically if no other calibers had ever been made after the 30-06 there would be just as many dead animals today as there are with all the ones that have come out since then.
Win - Win. I own both and love both. I will say that the 270 provides more peace of mind if I'm taking a rare 300-400 yard shot.
My biggest fear in life, is that when I die my wife will sell all my guns for what I told her I paid for them.
.270 hands down. I've personally taken everything from prairie dogs to bull elk with that caliber and it has worked flawlessly. Now that said, if you're interested in something other than one of those two, I would get a .30 cal of some sort. You can't go wrong with a good .30-06. As for myself, I am going to try a .300 WSM this fall.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Getting ready to pick one of them up. Any issues with the trigger?
I've had no issues with the Tikka at all. I've had it for 8 years now and it's been on quite a few mountains. I've never heard of any trigger issues with the Tikka T3, I left mine just the way it came out of the box. No creep at all that I can tell and very crisp. I left the gun totally the way it was, I don't find the recoil bad at all. I'll often put 20 rounds through it at the range and don't even notice. It is after all 'only' a 270. For a scope it came with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9 and it does the trick nicely so I haven't felt the need to upgrade that either. If you do buy one I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Thanks for the info. Looking forward to picking it up this month. Going to put a Vortex scope on mine. We have been testing them and they are very good optics.

Jen, from the Zazzle Store colourfuldesigns, was kind enough to sit down and answer some questions about her experience here on Zazzle. Check out the interview below and don't forget to check out her store Colourfuldesigns!
Zazzle: First off, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Jen: I am a full-time stay at home mother. I run a daycare during the day and I design on Zazzle in my evenings. I graduated from College with a three year business diploma. My husband and I have been together 5 years, and we are the proud parents of two beautiful children, both under the age of 3 years old. I live in the beautiful North ~ Ontario to be exact! I love to play volleyball, basketball and baseball in my spare time.
Zazzle: What's your inspiration for your designs?
Jen: I'm inspired by everything around me. I've loved the arts since I was a little kid ~ when I see bold, vibrant, fun patterns I get this drive inside of me, it's what makes me want to come up with cool and fun products that are unique and modern.
Zazzle: What has been your favorite design you've created, and why?
Jen: I really don't have a favorite design. When I go into "The Zone", time stands still and my favorite design is usually my final product. Once I am finished creating that particular design, everything kinda just starts all over again.
Zazzle: What is your favorite Zazzle feature? How do you use it?
Jen: Believe it or not? I'm still quite the rookie, so I have yet to grasp all of the fabulous features that Zazzle has to offer. I enjoy that I can place flash panels and links from my local website to Zazzle and make referral income, that's a huge plus.
Zazzle: Do you have any fun stories about being a seller on Zazzle?
Jen: I've met a wonderful group of supportive artist on Zazzle and becoming friends with other designers has been lots of fun.
Zazzle: What got you interested in selling your art on Zazzle?
Jen: I have always loved designing, but never had any formal training. I use to decorate wedding halls, cakes, design brochures, decorate interiors, but never have I had the opportunity to work for such an AMAZING company such as Zazzle.
I was actually googling something on the internet…I was pregnant, with mommy brain at the time, so I can't remember what I was searching for. For some reason Zazzle popped up on my screen and I was quite curious. I browsed around and realized that Zazzle was exactly what I was looking for. I had nothing to lose by opening shop.
I wanted to stay at home with my kids and make a little extra money on the side, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Zazzle has been 100% "The best thing" that has happened to me since the birth of my two children.
Zazzle: What tips can you give someone who is just starting out on Zazzle?
Jen: I think people need to understand that it's important to find yourself as an artist before you start designing on Zazzle. It's very easy to get caught up in what's already out there. Once you find out what kind of artist you are, then everything just starts to fall into place. Zazzle was never about money for me, it was always about having fun and following my passion. It takes many, many hours of hard work and dedication in order to climb the pro-seller ladder, it does not happen overnight. If you are committed to your gallery and put time and effort into your products you will, without a doubt, do well.
Thanks Jen!

Beyond the boxes we create,
Beyond each image we can spawn
The process river flows along
To sweep aside the now outworn.
On December 20, 2013, conservative biblical scholar Dr. Michael Brown appeared on the (now defunct) CNN's Piers Morgan show to debate the homosexuality issue as it related to the comments that were made by one of the stars of the television show Duck Dynasty, who stated in an interview that homosexuality is a "sin."read more
Mary, we did not know you.
Kept hidden for centuries you were despised,
A Queen not seen, under harlot's disguise.
Mary, we did not know you.
Every once in awhile, we come across resources that are not easily available to our global readership and we feel l it necessary to support and offer them. This kind of creative work we support helps people all along the spectrum understand our intent and theology. The Mystic Bible is perfectly balanced on the progressive spectrum, meaningful for people who are deeply connected to the stories of the Bible, mystical and poetic, and yet innovative and theologically progressive.read more
Be still and know what's going on inside yourself, and after a while your relationship to yourself will change. There will be the One who observes with kindness and patience, and the one that is observed – and after a while you'll identify more with the kind and patient Observer than with the one who is observed. The compassionate Observer is God. Then you'll know that God is not some supernatural superhero working miracles in the cosmos. You'll know instead that God is love even for your worst enemy, who, all to often, is your own selfish self.read more
I think we need some method of communicating with God and prayer is the logical answer. But prayer in which we stop everything we are doing, get down on our knees, fold our hands and pray is not my idea of prayer. I think we should try to communicate with God any time we have a second to think about God or ask God to be with a loved one or friend, or share anything in our life with God. While driving, when watching TV, while on the lake alone, working in the garden, any of those times and many more, we should take a moment to commune (talk, whatever word you want to use) with God. It may be that those moments are more for us than for God, but I like to think that God listens and cares. I admit that I get awfully frustrated when I feel God is not listening because my petitions are not immediately answered in the way that I have requested. I know God's answer may be "no," but that is difficult to swallow.read more
Prayer can be an appealing concept to us humans. It's an idea that there's a Higher Power out there who we can talk with and make requests to. An entity more powerful than the President, who loves us more than our own parents, and who doesn't charge us an hourly rate to sit on a couch and unload our problems. Who wouldn't want to believe in that? But it's not always that simple, as most of us have already figured out.read more
Can we actually believe that because Eve persuaded Adam to eat a forbidden apple the entire human race is doomed to hell? Can we truly believe that for several thousand years there was no chance for any human to be saved, even though none of them had anything to do with Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden? Isn't it ludicrous that a child born today is doomed because Adam and Eve disobeyed God? That creation/damnation scheme sounds more like devil-worship than God-worship.read more
The idea of a second coming of Christ is a mystery, if not explicitly controversial. Jesus' followers apparently believed he would return during their lifetime after he was crucified. When that didn't happen, later followers gradually changed the belief into an indefinite "someday." After two thousand years of waiting, most Christians no longer look for it to happen in their lifetimes and acknowledge that Jesus may have been speaking metaphorically about his return. It is just as likely that those words were put into Jesus' mouth by the gospel writers themselves. Wishful thinking?read more
When it comes to the existence of the devil, people normally have one of two reactions: they dismiss the devil and scoff at the idea that there is such an entity, or they exalt the devil, and attribute far more to him (or it) than is deserved. In a recent Gallup poll, 70% of Americans believe in the devil. Half of those surveyed believe that he (this evil force is most often referred to in masculine terms) is a personal force, while the other half believes he is an impersonal force.
Let us see what the Bible says about Satan, the devil and the evil one.

A darkened room
A trembling womb
Her sharp breaths cut the air
In the short interval between hearing the words and partaking of the symbolic body of Christ, I was enveloped in one of those rare moments of total oneness with all that is. The word "body" became present to me in a way I had not previously experienced. A feeling of connectedness with all mortal life swept over me. And beyond that an awareness of my aliveness being one with the aliveness of the earth and universe.read more

Eschatology is the study of last things, the final events in history, the ultimate destiny of humanity, the end of the world. Major issues in eschatology include the rapture, the second coming of Jesus, the tribulation, Millennialism, and the last judgment.
Most of the Christian books I have read do not seriously concern themselves with eschatology, but the Left Behind series of books made it a popular topic. All twelve novels in the series made the New York Times bestselling fiction list – note: the fiction list. Prior to the Left Behind novels of the 1990s, Hal Lindsey's 1970s bestselling books, including The Late Great Planet Earth, were also bestsellers.
The form of the blessing differ, but the essential message is the same: we give thanks to the Love that is God for the good that comes through our taxes. They are a special form of our "offerings" in worship. Many blessings flow from them, and divine guidance is needed for us to have the wisdom to see to it they are spent for the best purposes.read more
The terms faith and beliefs are sometimes used interchangeably, but I think it is useful to make a distinction between them. Beliefs are things you think are true, like "I believe in God." "I believe that there is life after death." These are improvable opinions (or they would be accepted by all as "facts"). A list can be made of beliefs.read more

On Monday, we told you about how dozens of students of voting age that attend the Wing Lake Developmental Center in Bloomfield Township cast their ballots for president in the school's mock election.
Turns out the students predicted the winner correctly.
President Barack Obama won a close vote that somewhat reflected what occurred nationwide Tuesday on Election Day, SCI teacher Jessica Krull said.
"The students enjoyed coloring in the squares of the classrooms to indicate who won each of the 8 rooms and comparing what our school map looked like compared to that of the United States," she said.
The classes also made sure to watch all the speeches from late Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.
Wing Lake is among the few programs in Oakland County that serve students with severe cognitive impairments and severe multiple impairments. The program provides full-day learning experiences for students ranging from age 3 through 26.

Avalanche Rear Bumper On A Sierra?
I don't know about y'all but I like the new style Avalanche's rear bumpers! Aren't both the Avalanche and the Sierra/Silvarado mounted on the same frame? Has anyone tried to put a Avalanche rear bumper on their truck? Does anyone at least know if it could be done before I spend the money to try it?

One thing to note here is that the SUVs (Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, etc.) have the top of the bumper reach further toward the front of the vehicle under the tailgate than the trucks do (on the outside parts of where the tailgate is).
The Avalanche bumpers are the same bumper style as he 99-06 trucks and SUVs used. I saw one on a newer truck once, so I know it can be done.
The next problem is that the 07+ trucks have the bumper wrap right around on the box and the box has an indentation there to accomodate that bumper. If you put the 99-06/2002-current avalanche style bumper on, it won't wrap into that spot and you will notice the indentations in the box that aren't covered by the bumper anymore.
All that being said, I really like the bumper cover that comes on the upscale models of the 2007+ Avalanches. They just go over top of the basic Avalanche bumper and with the bumpers being the same from the generation I have to the current one, I would put one of those covers on my bumper if my budget would allow it.

I have heard that it's possible to set up Linux to combine two analog modems into one so as to double the speed of a connection. Is this true? If so, how does this work and where can I get more information on how to do this? I have Slackware 96. —Keith Bell
What you want to do is called load balancing. There is a feature you must compile into your kernel for load balancing to work and it is designed to work only with SLIP or PPP. The feature you must compile is EQL, or "Serial Line Load Balancing". As you configure your kernel there is a small amount of help available on the option. If you look at the file /linux-source-directory/drivers/net/README.eql, you can get more information on how this works and what you need to do. Be aware that this must be supported by the other end of the connection—either another Linux box compiled with this feature or a Livingston Portmaster 2e. —Chad Robinson, BRT Technical Services Corporation email@example.com
I am running named as a primary DNS server. It appears to be working fine, but my /var/adm/messages file is full of lines like the following:
Dec 5 09:34:14 lancomm named[105]: NSTATS 849796454 849648847 A=528 PTR=76 MX=96 ANY=202 Dec 5 09:34:14 lancomm named[105]: XSTATS 849796454 849648847 RQ=902 RR=634 RIQ=0 RNXD=49 RFwdQ=393 RFwdR=562 RDupQ=5 RDupR=6 RFail=1 RFErr=0 RErr=0 RTCP=0 RAXFR=0 RLame=15 ROpts=0 SSysQ=53 SAns=509 SFwdQ=393 SFwdR=562 SDupQ=426 SFail=19 SFErr=12 SErr=1 RNotNsQ=886 SNaAns=339 SNXD=49
These messages are logged every few minutes. Are these merely extraneous debug messages, or is named misconfigured? —Bill Cunningham
They are debug messages, and don't mean there is a configuration error. Those messages are the "extended statistics", a compile-time option for named. If you'd like to disable this logging, simply recompile named with the XSTATS option commented out in the file:
—Bob Hauck, Wasatch Communications Group firstname.lastname@example.com
When I run X-Windows the desktop resolution is 340X400 with 16 colors. I am wondering how to get my X server to run with a resolution of 800X600 with 256 or higher colors. I am having a hard time finding documentation or manual pages on how make this change. I am running Slackware 1.2.1 and using a Cirrus controller. —Matt Linak
Your distribution is very old. You should switch to XFree86-3.2, which includes many more supported cards. Most Cirrus controllers are supported now. Take a look at the README.Cirrus file in the XFree86 web site: www.xfree86.org . —Pierre Ficheux, Lectra Systemes firstname.lastname@example.com
I am running Linux 2.0.0 and have a second PC that I use a a terminal (serial) using a DOS term program. It's a 486 that used to be my main machine until I upgraded. I have been trying to find information on setting it up as an X terminal, but all the HOWTO and /usr/doc files seem to focus on other things. It's my understanding that if I put a small Linux kernel on it and use NFS for root that I should be able to do this as the machine has very limited resources these days. I know I can switch to PLIP for reasonable speed, and I have good documentation on using NFS as root, but I have not uncovered the missing information on setting it up as an X terminal. Can you direct me to a source? —Josh
You do need at least some disk resources to be able to set your H86 up as an X-terminal. There are ways to do a complete net-boot on a PC, but those include obtaining a 3C509 or NE2000 Ethernet card and a boot ROM. I haven't dealt with this method, though, because hard disks are becoming very cheap.
I recommend getting a 120MB IDE drive (you should be able to find a used one for around $25), and installing that. Then install a minimal Linux system including X, and you are set. You will need networking of some type since most Linux distributions require Ethernet for a network install. If you don't have a CD-ROM on that box, you'll probably want to do a network install, so pick up a cheap networking card (new NE2000 clones run about $25).
Now, for using the 486 as an X terminal, the easiest way is with xdm. You run it on your main machine, configure X on your 486, and you can then run X -query hostname on your other machine. That solution will run an X server locally, but will run all binaries off your main machine. —Donnie Barnes, Red Hat Software firstname.lastname@example.com
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.

Analyzing and visualizing networks for some of us has been quite difficult, although network typed data has been growing rapidly in almost all kinds of disciplines. Visualization of a network from its text or form can dramatically aid the intuitive human exploration and discovery of key features or functions. Cytoscape is a great tool for this purpose – no matter if you want to find out about a friendship group on Facebook or what a protein-protein interaction looks like.
Cytoscape Complex Network Analysis How-to is a hands-on book that provides you with step-by-step exercises to help you get familiar with Cytoscape. With the help of quick recipes, you will be able to load, visualize, search, cluster, import and export networks, and manage plugins without a hitch.
This book begins with an overview of the book (setup, basics, load networks), then progresses to VizMapper, layout and search functions, and concludes with plugins, clustering, remote services, and data export. Every recipe is designed very concisely to help you quickly get a general idea without diving into too much detail.
You will also learn how to build your own video player using jQuery, or by using one of the pre-built libraries available. We will also take a look at adding functionality such as lightbox effects, or subtitles, as well as how to publish videos to popular hosting sites, such as YouTube or VideoBin. If you want to take advantage of using the new HTML5 video format, then this is the book for you.
Filled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear explanations for the most important and useful tasks. Get the job done and learn as you go. A how-To book with practical recipes accompanied with rich screenshots for easy comprehension.This How-to guide offers techniques and skills through recipes. The guide is packed with step-by-step instructions for anyone who wants to learn to use Cytoscape for visualizing networks.
Who this book is for
This book is great for people who have basic knowledge of programming, network analysis, and Cytoscape usage but would like to visualize and explore some network data. Readers are expected to know the basic concepts of network data, and be capable of using text editing software to edit tabular data which is imported into Cytoscape. Optionally, the user should understand network clustering and command line tools such as R.

Black rockfish are a major component of nearshore commercial and recreational fisheries, with increasing importance from the San Francisco area northward.
Distribution, Stock Structure and Migration
Black rockfish range from Amchitka Island, Alaska to Huntington Beach in southern California, but are uncommon south of Point Sur. They frequently occur in loose schools ten to twenty feet above shallow (to 120ft) rocky reefs, but individuals may also be observed resting on rocky bottoms, or schooling midwater over deeper (to 240ft) reefs to 1200ft.
Records for black rockfish show or describe a range of movement/migratory patterns from residential (no movement) to transient (movement to 345 mi.).
Age and Growth
This species may attain a maximum length of 27.6 in. in California, although individuals over 25 in. are rarely observed today. Average size observed in commercial and recreational fisheries now is 14 to 15 in. in northern California and 11 to 13 in. in central California. .
Black rockfish have a relatively fast growth rate. First-year growth is usually 3.5 to 4.0 inches. Most individuals become available to the fishery by the time they have reached 3 to 4 years of age and are approximately 10 to 11.5 inches.
Reproduction, Fecundity and Seasonality
In California, age at first maturity for males is 3 yr, or 9.8 in. TL. For females, age at first maturity is 5 yr or, 11.8 inches. At 6 yr, or about 14 in., half of all males are sexually mature. At 6 to 7 yr, or about 16 in., half of all females are sexually mature.
As with all members of the genus Sebastes, fertilization and development of embryos is internal. Black rockfish mating generally occurs between July and August.
Females store the sperm internally until their eggs mature in December or January, at which time the eggs are fertilized. The larvae develop within thirty days, at which time the black eyespots become visible to the naked eye. The eyed larvae are spawned from late January to May, peaking in February off California.
Larvae are planktonic for three to six months where they are dispersed by currents, advection, and upwelling. They begin to reappear as young-of-the-year fish in shallow, nearshore waters by May, but the major recruitment event usually occurs from July to August.
Natural Mortality
Mortality estimates have been calculated for black rockfish along the Pacific coast. The instantaneous rate of natural mortality has been found to vary between 0.2 and 0.4 for unsexed fish along the Pacific coast.
Predator/Prey Relationships
As larvae, black rockfish feed on nauplii, invertebrate eggs and copepods. As adults, they remain primarily planktivorous, feeding on small fishes (including juvenile blue and other rockfishes) as well as crustaceans, polycheates, cephalopods, chaetognaths and jellyfish.
Black rockfish co-occur with blue and olive rockfishes in the water column and with black-and-yellow rockfish near and on the bottom.
Black rockfish are commonly associated with other nearshore fish species, particularly other rockfishes. No other schooling rockfish was closely associated statistically with black rockfish, but three benthic species, gopher, China, and brown rockfishes, showed an affinity to the same habitat and depth range as black rockfish.
Critical Habitat
Larval black rockfish are pelagic. Young-of-the-year (approximately 1.5 in.) settle nearshore, generally in the shallower portions of the kelp beds (15 to 40 ft) where they frequent the sand-rock interface, seagrass beds, kelp canopy, midwater column and high-relief rock. They have also been found on artificial reefs, and in bays, estuaries and tide pools.
Adults inhabit the midwater and pelagic areas over high-relief rocky reefs. They are found in and around kelp beds, boulder fields and artificial reefs.
Status of Stocks
An assessment of the black rockfish fishery in 2007 indicates the stock is at 70% of the virgin biomass. California Recreational Fishery Survey showed that, in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties (northern California), black rockfish comprised approximately 85 percent of the annually nearshore rockfish complex. South of the northern California, black rockfish gradually decreases in the recreational catch and are infrequently observed south of Point Sur (central California).
Information on this page was originally presented in the Nearshore Fishery Management Plan (these profiles updated July, 2010).

This week on DVD and Blu-ray: the foreign action film that puts its American counterparts to shame; one of the most gruesome films ever to come out of Australia; Ben Wheatley's critically acclaimed follow up to "Down Terrace"; a Cuban zombie blast; a black-and-white vampire oldie; and a harrowing first person account of the Holocaust.
If "The Raid: Redemption" is anything to go by, the Indonesians do action way better than we do (with help from a Welsh director). A hit at the indie box office, where it did solid numbers despite opening the same weekend as "The Hunger Games," "The Raid: Redemption" revolves around an elite task force's attempt to permeate a safe house filled with criminals in the slums of Jakarta. As the battle rages on with Special Forces leader Rama (Iko Uwais) at the helm, the druglord watches from his top-floor lair via a group of monitors.
"Bones break, blood flows and swift, excessively complicated fight choreography puts virtually everything released in North America since 'The Bourne Ultimatum' to instant shame," wrote Eric Kohn in his glowing review. "'The Raid: Redemption' stands out not only because of the speed of its execution but also because of the number of onscreen deaths portrayed with relentless unease. Director Gareth Evans exploits violence for the sake of entertainment along with the best of them, but he never makes it easy to watch. I swear my face hurt coming out of the theater."
Extras: Audio commentary with Evans; 6 behind-the-scenes video blogs; "Behind the Music" featurette; "An Evening with Gareth Evans, Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese" featurette; "An Anatomy of a Scene" featurette; "In Conversation with Gareth Evans and Mike Shinoda" featurette; and "Inside the Score" trailer teaser for Mike Shinoda's first feature score.
"Kill List," Ben Wheatley's follow-up to critically acclaimed debut "Down Terrace," has been generating love from horror aficionados since premiering at last year's SXSW. Bloody Disgusting went so far as to dub it "the best horror film of 2011," while Indiewire's Eric Kohn called the film a "brutally unsettling masterpiece that you need to see twice." One thing's for certain: "Kill List" will rattle your nerves. The film follows Jay (Neil Maskell), an ex-soldier-turned-contract killer who is pressured into a new assignment by his old partner following a disastrous hit job in Kiev. As they set out on their latest series of hits, it soon becomes clear that Jay isn't in the best headspace to handle the job. All the while, strange things begin happening; among those, a number of his hits start humbly thanking Jay for taking their lives. The whole sordid tale builds to a horrifying climax that critics (for the most part) have been kind enough not to reveal.
READ MORE: 'Kill List' Director Ben Wheatley Talks About 'That' Ending and Why the Film's So Personal
Extras: Audio commentary with Wheatley; audio commentary featuring actors Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring and Michael Smiley; three interview segements with the producers; an the eight-minute featurette "The Making of Kill List."

I saw the previews for The Raid and I have to say itâs very intriguing. Itâs a manâs movie; itâs non-stop action and a angry, riveting plot. The fighting sequences in this movie look ridiculous! tried to reserve the movie at my local kiosk but itâs not available because theyâve all been rented. It kind of makes me wonder how many copies are in one machine. So a Dish co-worker suggested trying Blockbuster @ Home which delivers the movies straight to my door. Blockbuster even allowed me to reserve a copy! How awesome is that? It cuts the unneeded trips to the kiosk and saves me some gas too. Iâm sure I wonât be disappointed by this movie and Iâm looking forward to kicking back and relaxing this weekend. Kill List sounds like it will be an interesting movie. I find that genre mash-ups appeal to me and Iâm sure this one wonât be any different. I love movies that keep me guessing, on the edge of my seat, anticipating the next scene. I think I might just have a guyâs movie night and see if we all like it as much as I think we will.
