As consumer demand for functional foods and supplements containing healthy lipids and oils continues to soar, global demand for fish oils and omega oils (omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, & omega-9) will continue to climb.
Yet the massive market for these mega-ingredients is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to healthy oils: from antioxidant-rich olive oils, to healthy vegetable and seed oils, and the growing interest for herbal oils and supplements – the market is booming.
While research on the benefits of supplements and health focused functional foods may take centre stage for many, tackling the challenges of sustainability, supply chain management, and formulation in finished products are all vital for future success.
In this NutraIngredients and FoodNavigator online event, we bring you the latest consumer and market insights, scientific developments and technical innovations in the nutritional lipids and oils space.

It's a generational thing! From infants to baby boomers, the market offers lots of products showing how preferences and needs differ from one age group to the next. The markets in individual categories are growing rapidly. For example the rising ageing population means products targeted at the elderly are increasing with focus on energy, cognitive health and bone and joint health.
Providing the right nutrition at progressing life stages can play a key role in reducing the risk of developing a number of conditions, from cancer to diabetes, osteoporosis to obesity. The right nutrition for the right age group also increases the feeling of day-to-day wellbeing.
Successfully developing food, beverage and supplement products for different age groups requires a deep understanding of tastes, health conditions, and spending power, but which groups show the most market potential? What do different groups look for in a food, beverage or supplement? Which are the health benefits they look for the most? And how can successful formulations be translated from one generation to the next?
LifeStages2012 will focus on the very latest opportunities in this sector, including the ever-expanding Kids health category, a detailed overview on the different age groups in the life stages markets, life stage product opportunities in emerging markets and of course marketing and advertising to the modern day world.

Bread, cake and biscuit brand owners along with cereal and snack makers are still facing a challenging market climate, particularly with higher raw material costs.
The industry has to remain focused on maintaining its margins, managing its cost base and continuing its efforts to stimulate growth through innovation.
A thirst for health, naturalness and novelty are the driving forces behind innovation in this sector. These trends lie behind the emergence of new finished products and ingredients from enzymes used to replace artificial emulsifiers or calcium-enriched breakfast cereals.
So at Bakery Formulation 2012 Virtual Conference, we ask what will constitute tomorrow's value added bakery and cereal lines and how should formulators make them?
Featuring insight from leading voices in the industry, the conference will help formulators, nutritionists, marketers and brand development managers answer these questions.

Probiotics may have taken some time to seep into consumer consciousness, especially in the US, but digestive health last year entered the top three fastest growing functional food categories. And with developments in science and technology also come greater opportunities to widen the category beyond the traditional dairy application.
The ever-prevalent interest in products that can help boost the body's defence and the direct manner in which gut health benefits are felt has fortified a €12bn+ category.
Regulatory uncertainly in Europe and a string of high-profile lawsuits in the US has made firms much more cautious about making health claims about probiotics.
The Pre- & Probiotics 2012 Virtual Conference will assess this ever-developing but highly critical scenario from both the scientific and regulatory point of view.

As obesity rates continue to rise, the opportunities for scientifically-substantiated weight management food products are impressive.
The emphasis is now moving from dietary programs like Atkins towards an approach that integrates weight loss with overall good health. From market leading satiety ingredients to the next generation of reformulated low-fat products, from sweeteners to meal replacements blessed by EFSA, the weight management market is driving innovation across the industry.
The Weight Management 2011 Virtual Conference & Expo will bring together leading voices in these key areas, as well the cutting edge science of probiotics and prebiotics, and pragmatic insights into getting a health claim.

As populations age, the threat of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis is looming large in the global consciousness. But bone and joint health go beyond the elderly, with implications for the young, athletes, and beyond.
Natural products with potential bone and joint health benefits - calcium, vitamins D and K, glucosamine, and chondroitin, to name but a few - are big business: The US bone and joint health market was estimated to be worth $178 million in 2008, and is predicted to be $246 million by 2015, according to Frost & Sullivan.
However, conflicting science and regulatory pressures are undermining the potential growth of this market.
The Bone & Joint Health 2011 Virtual Conference will look at what products are working and with whom, how to strengthen the science, and how to formulate a winning product.

Gut health and immunity products have been the star performers in functional foods for many years, but the category faces serious challenges as regulators globally place stringent demands on the kind of science required to back claims.
Big Food players like Danone, Yakult and General Mills are heavily invested in the €12bn+ sector that analysts predict will double to €24bn by 2016, despite the EU and US regulatory clampdown that has forced shifts not only in marketing strategies - but the very relationship between marketing and science.
The sector's ongoing scientific efforts have been boosted recently by the US's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) - an organ of the National Institutes of Health - explicitly backing probiotic research and effects in a number of health areas in the gut, the immune system and beyond.
The Pre- & Probiotics 2011 Virtual Conference will feature leading voices offering cutting edge, pragmatic advice to advance understanding of where pre- and probiotic science is at, where it is going, and how it can inform claim-making and market building.

As the global problem of obesity becomes more pronounced, science is helping build credibility for a number of ingredients, and leading companies are forming high-profile food partnerships to get them to consumers.
Food-industry experts predict weight management will be the most significant trend in food in coming years. This is why, from an ingredient standpoint, so many major suppliers are beefing up their portfolio of weight-management offerings. It's one of the main reasons why functional foods are the fastest-growing sector of the food industry, and why the weight-management market is valued at more than $7 billion globally.
While some brands, such as SlimFast, Weight Watchers, and Jenny Craig have mushroomed on the back of consumer needs, weight management supplements have been blighted by dubious internet offers. How does the market respond to increasing consumer cynicism, how does it grow the science, and what are the next big developments for the segment?

For 2004 Kawasaki continued with its popular off-road dirt bike KLR line releasing both a ""junior"" model known as the KLR 250 and the heavy-duty, full-size KLR 650. Both KLR designs came in an Aztek Red color that year combined with the sportier design of all the dirt bikes Kawasaki produced for 2004 the KLR certainly aimed to appeal to riders who wanted to have the functionality of a dirt bike in the form of a sport bike. Both perform more than adequately on the open road though this bike can go places sport bikes and power cruisers cannot.
The KLR has always been a durable, steady line for Kawasaki. The smaller KLR line was so impressively built that for a time the military used these bikes, though mostly for reconnaissance and correspondence tasks. Still if it's good enough to be used in military operations that should speak volumes about how tough and reliable this line of motorbikes is. It's not uncommon to hear owners praise it for holding up like a tank, although a more appropriate comparison would to the durability of a Jeep.
Kawasaki decided to use a four-stroke over the usual two-stroke engine found in most comparable bikes of this size and class. The compression ratio of the KLR 250 at 11:1 provides very reliable torque and horsepower remains fairly consistent even when pushing the upper rpm limits. The maximum torque might not be quite as high as other motorbikes of the same class; however it won't bottom out as others tend to do on the low- or high-end revolutions. This sturdy motor combined with the impressive steady fuel distribution of the 34mm Keihin Carburetor helps give the bike more balanced fuel efficiency throughout the different gear speeds.
It's a nice break for the wallets of KLR 250 owners. The tank holds just shy of three gallons worth of fuel which is enough to get in 200 miles of dirt bike exploration before another refuel is necessary. Fitted with an air adjustable shock system in the front and the dependable UNI-Trak shock system in the rear, the motorcycle provides a very smooth ride which is needed when hitting the trails. The front hydraulic disc and rear drum disc braking system have no trouble stopping the motorbike even when in the highest gear. This great all-terrain dirt bike has a cult following that many other dirt bikes never attain.
Not forgetting the larger version of the KLR, it has great functionality as both an off-road motorbike as well as being more than capable for around town riding. The KLR 650 has no trouble on the freeway either, as the 649cc engine doesn't feel any stress while cruising at top highway speed limits. This bike easily enjoys a fuel efficiency over 50 mpg whether the bike is trail blazing or cruising city streets getting slightly lower gas mileage than the junior model enjoys. It can go a bit further on one tank than the KLR 250 thanks to a larger fuel tank with nearly double the capacity. The simplistic approach to design reduces overall maintenance requiring little more than regular oil changes that most owners feel comfortable doing themselves. The bike handles corners like a pro with easy access to both the preload spring and rebound suspension in the rear that riders can adjust for their needs which would likely depend upon whether the KLR is mainly used for off-road trails or everyday travel. The front suspension is just as easily adjusted and can be done simply by adding or decreasing the air pressure to the suspension. It will take some time but eventually the oil in the front suspension forks will need to be refreshed, though again the low-maintenance design of the bike allows for draining the old oil then adding the new oil without ever having to remove the forks from the bike.

The insurance commercial apparently got it right — Neanderthals were not stupid, simply misunderstood.
Geico's Neanderthal
A study, soon to be published in The Journal of Human Evolution, shows that Neanderthals were every bit as good at making tools as Homo sapiens, the species we see every day in the mirror, says Metin Eren, a graduate experimental archaeology student in the Department of Anthropology in Dedman College at Southern Methodist University.
The findings by Eren's team should be the final blow to the 60-year-old notion that our Homo sapiens ancestors survived and advanced because they were smarter than Neanderthals, who disappeared about 28,000 years ago.
"There have been a number of assumptions about Neanderthal stupidity that have been overturned in recent years," said Eren. "This is one of the last pillars."
"The fact is, we're talking about a species that survived and thrived at the height of the ice age — that's a pretty amazing accomplishment," Eren said. "Geico (insurance company) should actually get a shout-out. They do a good job of showing that Neanderthals were pretty smart."
Eren's research on early "flint knapping," the construction of stone tools by flaking or chipping, began at SMU. He has spent the last year of his research as a National Science Foundation fellow at the University of Exeter's Experimental Archeology Lab. His team included members from the University of Exeter, Texas State University and the Think Computer Corporation, as well as SMU.
Eren's research team constructed and compared stone tools that were replicas of those developed by Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. They concluded that the tools unique to Homo sapiens did not hold a particular technological advantage. They learned this by recreating stone tools known as flakes,' which were wider tools originally used by both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, and blades,' a narrower stone tool later adopted by Homo sapiens.

Archaeologists often use the development of stone blades and their assumed efficiency as proof of Homo sapiens' superior intellect. To test this, Eren's team analyzed the data to compare the number of tools produced, how much cutting-edge was created, the efficiency in consuming raw material and how long tools lasted.
Blades were first produced by Homo sapiens during their colonization of Europe from Africa approximately 40,000 years ago. This has traditionally been thought to be a dramatic technological advance, helping Homo sapiens out-compete, and eventually eradicate, their Stone Age cousins. Yet when the research team analyzed their data there was no statistical difference between the efficiency of the two technologies. In fact, their findings showed that in some respects the flakes favored by Neanderthals were more efficient than the blades adopted by Homo sapiens.
The Neanderthals, believed to be a different species from Homo sapiens, evolved in Ice Age Europe, while the latter evolved in Africa before spreading out to the rest of the world around 50-40,000 years ago. Neanderthals are thought to have died out around 28,000 years ago, suggesting at least 10,000 years of overlap and possible interaction between the two species in Europe.
Many long-held beliefs suggesting why the Neanderthals went extinct have been debunked in recent years. Research has already shown that Neanderthals were as good at hunting as Homo sapiens and had no clear disadvantage in their ability to communicate. Now, these latest findings add to the growing evidence that Neanderthals were no less intelligent than our ancestors.
Eren's paper, Are Upper Paleolithic blade cores more productive than Middle Paleolithic discoidal cores? A replication experiment, is co-authored by Aaron Greenspan, president of Think Computer Corporation, and C. Garth Sampson, professor emeritus of archaeology at SMU.

The King and I at the Cumberland County Playhouse is a superb event. Entering the Mainstage auditorium, we are transported to Siam in mid-1800. Set designer Sean McClelland has brought his amazing talent from his south Florida base to transform our stage. It is both massive and beautifully intricate. McClelland has designed eleven different aspects of the King's palace, which we see in the course of seventeen scene changes. Small wonder that his outstanding designs have received numerous awards.
Amy London, the director of this magnificent production, has relocated to Tennessee and joined the staff of Cumberland County Playhouse. We celebrate her decision and her skillful direction of The King and I. Choreographer Barbara Flaten, lighting designer Ginny Adams and costume designer Kathryn Wagner traveled to Cumberland County to share in the creation of this masterpiece. Their presence bespeaks their appreciation of London as a director. The production is elevated by their skills.
Herman Sebek is the King of Siam. This is the fifth time he has played the role.
He is clearly both the master of the role and of his subjects. His autobiographical note indicates he "coaches singing and performance supporting the expression and dreams of artists of all levels and ages." He obviously enjoyed interacting with the children of the cast while respecting the other professional and volunteer members on stage. Yet, his regal behavior clearly states that when one is king, one knows everything (or hopes he does). His wonderful rendition of "A Puzzlement," gives us insight into this complex man.
Nicole Begue Hackmann sailed onto the stage as Anna. With her young son Louis, she has come to Siam to teach the royal children. She has been promised a home of their own in which to reside. Therein arises the first of several differences between the King and Anna. She is not one of his subjects nor one of his many wives. Begue-Hackmann brings grace, beauty and a magnificent voice to the role of Anna. Whether singing the lilting "I Whistle A Happy Tune," the hilarious "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?" or "Hello Yong Lovers," her voice has feeling, power and dynamism. It seems to this reviewer that there has been significant enlargement of Begue-Hackmann's talents both in her vocal and acting ability. The children of the King love Anna. She cares for each and every one as an individual. The wives find a new vision of womanhood as they watch Anna. The King is puzzled and exasperated by her. She argues with him. She clearly respects him and comes to care deeply for him. Begue-Hackmann reflects all these emotions.
We welcome to the CCPH stage Eli Choate and Daniel Frost, alternating in the role of Anna's son Louis. As Louis, they managed to be engaged in scenes in which they have no speaking role, yet were able to rise to the occasion of fighting or befriending Prince Chulakorn. Jayden Gable and Zachary Villaruz portray Prince Chulakorn, heir apparent to the throne of Siam. These talented young men, Choate, Frost and Gable, have previously been a part of Cookeville Children's Theater. Gable and Choate were a part of the Cookeville High School production of The King and I. Both Zachary Villaruz and Jayden Gable present the Prince as still a boy, while pondering his future role. At times this future is threatening for him. Will he truly be King and know everything?
Lauren Marshall plays Lady Thiang, current favored wife of the King and mother of Prince Chulakorn. She brings an essential depth of understanding of the King. Loving him, she knows he is flawed. He will not express his needs. He cannot admit he is wrong.
Yet, he is her King and she can sing of "Something Wonderful." Her elegant voice expresses her depth of devotion and hope.
The royal children in Anna's charge are Jesse Allen, Eli and Ella Choate, Will Clark, Italiana C. Davis, Olivia and Taylor Dearman, Kaleigh Doris, Ella Frost, Ava Graham, Katie Kaplan, Kaydi McCausland, Caitlin McMahan, Chavin Medina, Emily Mills, Tavanah Roysden, McKenna Shada, Anais, Sasha and Zachary Villaruz.
The royal wives, their mothers, who are learning along with the children include:
Viki Avalose, Anna Baker, Aven Chadwell, DeAnna Etchison, Sarah Gooding, Madyson Green, Rachel Marie Hatchett, Sarah Herrick, Madison Hicks, Madison Lee, Tana McDonald, Caitlin Schaub, Brooklyn Smith, Delanie Sullivan, Raychal Tinch, Regina Villaruz and Weslie Webster.
Lindy Pendzick and Adam Ignacio bring us Tuptim and Lun Tha. These two are already in love when he has been forced to bring her as a "gift" to the King. Their secretive meetings, their attempts to plan a future together while "We Kiss in A Shadow" are intensely moving. Pendzick brings her soaring soprano voice, her mixture of adult and child to the role. We see utter terror on her face as she is threatened with beating. She is lovely as she and Regina Villaruz invite the teacher to join in their dance.
It is the idea of Tuptim that a drama will be presented in honor of the presence of Sir Edward Ramsey (Greg Pendzick) from England. "The Small House of Uncle Thomas" is based on Tuptim's knowledge of Harriet Beecher Stowe and the work of a similar name. Not only will this be fine entertainment for the visitor, it will provide a time for Tuptim to escape with her beloved: Lun Tha. Adam Ignacio gifts us with his marvelously strong, yet tender voice. He and Lindy Pendzick are touching as they sing: "I Have Dreamed." I look forward to the possibility that Ignacio might return to the Playhouse after completing his Master's degree in Vocal Performance at Central Michigan University.
The nearly sixty members of the cast have been superbly directed. The choreography is creative. The ensemble of Henry Brooks, Quinn Cason, Cory Clark, Bob Cleeland, Bonnie Etchison, Trey Norrod, Austin Price, Terri Ritter, Cody Rutledge, Chaz Sanders and Moriah McRae enhance the production with their talents.
Through it all, Ron Murphy and his pit orchestra of David Garrison, Joe Brindisi, Greg Danner, Tony Greco, Kathy Bower, Wayne Robbins, Robert Thatch and Chet Hayes bring forth the vitality and beauty of the musical score. What a gift they are.
This is indeed an extravaganza you will want to see. No matter how many times you have seen Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I, this production has a freshness and beauty that is a joy. Thank you Jim Crabtree for producing it. The production runs through August 30. Call for tickets for you and your guests.

GARNER — Evidentially, the path to a conference basketball championship can't be easy when rivals Clayton and Garner are involved. It wasn't Monday night either.
Garner topped Clayton 76-73 in boys' basketball to prevent the Comets from clinching the Greater Neuse River 4A regular-season title outright.
Clayton now needs to win its last two to be assured of winning the league title outright. The Comets shared the regular-season crown with Garner last season and the two have finished 1-2 in the league for the past four seasons.
Two factors determined Monday night's outcome: Garner's scrappiness down the stretch and the Comets' struggles at the free throw line.
"We've come a long way since we went to Knightdale," said Garner coach Eddie Gray, flashing back to the Trojans' last loss – a 31-point setback against the Knights on Jan. 7. "These kids have hung together and just kept working, getting better. It was a blue-collar kind of night for us."
Garner (14-7, 10-2), winners of nine straight, trailed by nine early in the fourth quarter but started finding open shooters and paths to the basket in the final six minutes. Clayton (18-4, 11-1), meanwhile, had plenty of chances to pull away but never could. The Comets were 15-of-37 at the line on the night.
Garner pulled even at 66 with 2:37 to play on a short jumper by sophomore Jashaun Smith, which followed a Comets possession when senior standout Gary Clark, a Cincinnati signee, picked up his fourth foul on a drive to the basket.
Clark had to pick and choose his shot-blocking attempts the rest of the way, giving Smith and the Trojans a little easier access to the goal.
Smith scored 13 of his team-high 19 points in the final quarter.
Garner's move to a full-court press surprised Clayton as well.
"We started pressing to speed them up and we got a few easy baskets off of turnovers," said Garner's Julius Barnes, who finished with 17 points.
Darius Simmons contributed 13 for the Trojans and Alex Reed had 12.
Chris Dixon and Smith traded baskets on the next two possessions before Garner's Kyrece Mills scored on a driving layup after the Trojans spread the floor for a 70-68 lead.
Garner wouldn't trail again, taking advantage of some great ball movement and hustle by Nick Kuhns, Justin Baird and Smith to get out of a Clayton trap attempt and give Smith an open look to put Garner up 72-69.
Kuhns added two free throws with 12.6 seconds to play to put Garner up by four but Clayton got back within 76-73 with 6.2 seconds left. The Comets got Clark a look at a 3-pointer at the buzzer but the shot clanged off of the back of the iron.
Clark finished with 33 points, 21 rebounds and five blocked shots.
"You look at the free throws and that's your ball game right there," said Clayton coach Denny Medlin. "We're usually a decent shooting free throw team. We weren't tonight for some reason.
"Garner played well and just hung around and made plays at the end."
Clayton was on a 22-game win streak against league opponents and Garner hasn't lost to a conference opponent other than Clayton since Jan. 10, 2012 (Southeast Raleigh, who the Trojans are scheduled to play Tuesday).

Secrets From the Queen of the Random Job
Strategies for piecing together a living and paying taxes on a patchwork of unusual projects.
"R" stands for research the heck out of every single detail. I tell people, "Look them up on Facebook on LinkedIn, Google their emails, their phone number, their physical address to see where else they come up."
"A" stands for ask for more information. People are so concerned about contacting companies because they don't want to get on the "bad list." So I tell people, "use a different email address, use a different name." Just contact them to see what other information you can get, then you can research their email address.
"M" in the SCRAM formula stands for mouse over images and links. If you're contacted by a company and you can get an email, you can mouse over an image, and it will show you in the lower destination browser bar where you will actually be clicking. And if the email is supposedly from PayPal or Monster but the image goes somewhere else, you know it's a scam.
[See Why Freelance Jobs Are Hotter Than Ever.]
Once you've worked through these principles, how can you determine if a random job is right for you?
Sometimes it is a matter of trial and error. What I teach people to do is assess their skillset and their skill level. Working from home isn't really a career in and of itself. You have to take your skillset, and then translate that into an online job or a job at home.
Figuring out your taxes must be a nightmare. How do you keep track of your income?
Keeping track of my taxes is a pain, because I'm signed up with over 150 companies. So Excel is my friend, and QuickBooks is also my friend. I keep track of everything.
I recommend to people who do random jobs to pick up a W2 random job because they'll withhold your taxes versus an independent-contractor gig. When I do mystery shopping jobs, that's all independent contractor work.
However, when I do election poll work, that's a W2 random job. I just have them take out as much tax as I can, because then at the end of the year, my tax liability is a lot less. Having some random W2 income helps offset your taxes.

The 101 Uses of OpenSSH: Part I
Secure Shell works very similarly to Secure Sockets Layer web transactions (it's no coincidence that the cryptographical functions used by OpenSSH are provided by OpenSSL, a free version of Netscape's Secure Sockets Layer source-code libraries). Both can set up encrypted channels using generic "host keys" or with published credentials (digital certificates) that can be verified by a trusted certificate authority (such as VeriSign). Here's how connections are built.
First, the client and the server exchange (public) host keys. If the client machine has never encountered a given public key before, both ssh and most web browsers ask the user whether to accept the untrusted key. Next, they use these to negotiate a session key that is used to encrypt all subsequent session data via a block cipher such as Triple-DES (3DES), blowfish, or idea.
Then, the server attempts to authenticate the client using RSA or DSA certificates. If this isn't possible, the client is prompted for a standard username/password combination (optionally, "rhosts" host-IP-based authentication with or without RSA keys may be used; OpenSSH also supports KerberosIV and skey). Finally, after successful authentication the session proper begins: either a remote shell, a secure file transfer, a remote command, etc., is begun over the encrypted tunnel.
As I mentioned earlier, ssh is actually a suite of tools:
sshd—dæmon that acts as a server to all other commands
ssh—primary end-user tool: remote shell, remote command, and port-forwarding sessions
scp—tool for automated file transfers
sftp—tool for interactive file transfers—COMMERCIAL SSH ONLY
ssh-keygen—generates private-public key pairs for use in RSA and DSA authentication (including host keys)
ssh-agent—dæmon used to automate client's RSA/DSA authentications
ssh-add—loads private keys into ssh-agent process
ssh-askpass—X interface for ssh-add
Note that sftp, which is essentially an ftp client with encryption and strong authentication grafted on, is available only in F-Secure's commercial versions of ssh version 2—I only mention it here because you may come across a reference to it elsewhere and wonder why you've only got scp.
Of these tools, most users concern themselves only with ssh, since "encrypted Telnet" is the simplest use of ssh. Scp, ssh-agent and ssh-add, however, along with the strong authentication and TCP port-forwarding capabilities of ssh itself, make ssh considerably more flexible than that. Since we're paranoid and want to encrypt as much of the stuff we fling over the networks as possible, we really groove on this flexibility.
The OpenSSH web site (see Resources) is the place to go for the latest version of OpenSSH, both in source-code and RPM forms, and also for OpenSSL, which is required by OpenSSH. Also required is zlib, available at the freesoftware.com site (see Resources).
Note that you may not be able to get by with RPM packages. When I tried to install the RPMs from OpenSSH.com on my laptop, running SuSE Linux, everything worked except sshd, which wouldn't install due to SuSE's lack of a "chkconfig" package. Your preferred flavor of Linux may or may not have the same problem (unless it has chckconfig), or it may have its own RPM of OpenSSH (for all I know, by the time you read this somebody may have published RPMs for SuSE).
If RPMs won't work, you'll need to build OpenSSH (and possibly OpenSSL and zlib) from source. To Linux old-timers, "rolling your own" software installations is old hat, but if you're not in that category don't despair. All three distributions use ".configure" scripts that eliminate the need for most users to edit any Makefiles. Assuming your system has gcc and the normal assortment of system libraries and that these are reasonably up-to-date, the build process is both fast and simple.
In my own case, after installing OpenSSL 0.9.5a and zlib-1.1.3 (all version numbers, by the way, may be outdated by the time you read this!) I followed these steps to build and install OpenSSH 2.1.1p4:
tar -xzvf openssh-2.1.1p4.tar.gz cd openssh-2.1.1p4 ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh make make install
Per instructions provided by the file "INSTALL" I fed the configure script one customized option: rather than installing all configuration-files in /etc, I instructed it to create and use a subdirectory, /etc/sshd. Since this version of OpenSSH supports both RSA and DSA keys, it makes sense to minimize the amount of clutter ssh adds to /etc.
For a client-only installation, this is all you need to do. Note that one or more of the version numbers cited above may already be dated by the time you read this article; be sure to check the OpenSSH and zlib web sites for the latest versions.
If you wish to run the Secure Shell Dæmon sshd (i.e., you wish to accept ssh connections from remote hosts), you'll also need to create startup scripts and, in the case of SuSE, edit /etc/rc.config. This has also been thought of for you: the source distribution's "contrib" directory contains some useful goodies.
The Red Hat directory contains "sshd.init", which can be copied to /etc/rc.d and linked to in the appropriate runlevel directory (/etc/rc.d/rc2.d, etc.). It also contains "sshd.pam", which can be installed in /etc/pam if you use Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) and "openssh.spec", which can be used to create your very own OpenSSH RPM package. These files are, obviously, intended for use on Red Hat systems but will probably also work on Red Hat-derived systems (Mandrake, Yellow Dog, etc.).
The suse directory also contains an "openssh.spec" file for creating OpenSSH prpm packages for SuSE and an "rc.sshd" file to install in /etc/rc.d (actually /sbin/init.d in SuSE). In addition, it contains "rc.config.ssd", the contents of which must be added to /etc/rc.config in order for the rc.sshd script to work properly. This is achieved by simply entering the command:
cat ./rc.config.ssd >> /etc/rc.config
Create a symbolic link in rc2.d and/or rc3.d, and your SuSE system is ready to serve up secured shells! Either reboot or type /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start to start the dæmon.
god bless you for taking trouble in writing this tutorial of SSH .

Using SSH
I am new and today used the SSH first time then i thought to study more about SSH and googled the uses of SSH and found your website its very helpfull but still i am unable to understand few things can yu suggest me any good site/article for a new user. I wanted to use this just because it is fast and i love it.
about ssh
I read your article The 101 Uses of OpenSSH: Part I
it boost me to start doing experiments with ssh. it gives me all the basic as i am new bie to it.
But I had one problem i tried to uninstall ssh from my system to install new one using rpm -e option -> It not worked.
I knew (through net searching)the new intallation overwrite the old one, but i want to remove it and install it on my system(redhat-9).
Please can you suggest anything regarding this.
thanking you.

In the early 90s, I was introduced, through a mutual professional associate, to an action/drama film called Deadbeat At Dawn (1988), directed by Jim VanBebber. I do enjoy the occasional action flick, but the genre isn't where my attention is usually drawn, so I likely would not have seen Deadbeat At Dawn had it not been handed to me. However, I immediately became a fan of the movie, and of filmmaker Jim VanBebber.
Deadbeat At Dawn was not a groundbreaking cinematic masterpiece. However, there was an energy, passion, and heart in the film that made it stand out. I think it is a far more riveting film than numerous action movies made for many times its budget. Shot by cinematographer and VanBebber's close collaborator, Mike King, Deadbeat At Dawn featured the director in the starring role. VanBebber played a nunchuck slingin' gang member, hell-bent on some blood-soaked revenge.
VanBebber again directed and starred in a ferocious cult-hit short film called My Sweet Satan (1994), playing a hate-fueled, devil-worshipping drug dealer. The filmmaker also directed music videos for Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Pantera, and Necrophagia. His next feature film was The Manson Family (2003), which I am a big fan of as well. He played a supporting role in this movie – one of Charlie Manson's followers.
I recently executive produced a half-hour short film called Five (2012), featuring an ensemble cast that included a few past collaborators of mine: Amanda Pemberton (Ratline), Amy Rose (Ratline), and Samantha Voorhees (Deadwood Park). The movie also starred Jim VanBebber – in a role that was nothing like anything he'd played before.
After admiring the work of this filmmaker for about a decade-and-a-half, it was great to finally be working on a project with him. Five, set in a ragged factory town, is about five-year-old Marie's final summer before starting kindergarten, and the unlikely friendship she builds with her babysitter's husband, Kenny (VanBebber). The innocence of Marie (played by Evie Dodson) provides startling contrast to Kenny's often-grim grown-up problems.
Five took a long time to complete. It was shelved halfway through post-production for scheduling and financial reasons. It was finally completed this past year. Check it out to see a new side of filmmaker / actor Jim VanBebber.
VanBebber's current project is a feature-length horror film called Gator Green, set in a Florida alligator farm. Director VanBebber and producer Stephen Biro (2008's Philosophy Of A Knife) are currently working on a short film version of the project, which will be used to attract financing for the feature-length film. Rumor has it that VanBebber will play the lead role – this time an enraged war veteran, recently returned from the battlefront. Bloodthirsty alligators and VanBebber as a bonkers war vet… sign me up!
Thanks for reading.

If you look close enough, Frank Williams is right there in the dictionary definition of "teacher."
According to an entry in Webster's, a teacher doesn't have to stand in front of a classroom to teach: He simply has to "instruct by precept, example or experience."
Using that definition, Williams, who steps down today as head custodian at Danville High School after 35 years on the job, is a walking teaching moment.
"I've always worked with kids," he said of his tenure, which included a 10-year stint prior to DHS as custodian at St. Paul's Catholic Church. "I guess that's been my calling."
He said he's forged relationships with hundreds of students during the years and he always delivers a simple message: "I always tell them: Don't run with the wrong people. I don't call kids bad, they just make some bad decisions sometimes."
He knows of what he speaks.
Williams, who was born and raised in Danville, said he ran with a rough crowd when he was growing up — and that many of those old friends who stayed on the path had been killed or were in jail.
He went to work for General Motors, but after experiencing several rounds of layoffs, the St. Paul's job opened up.
"It didn't pay much, but at least it was regular pay every two weeks," he said.
While most everyone in the district has come into contact with Williams, the school custodian made the extra effort during the years to enlist the help of students on various "special" projects, such as school performances.
"I started picking kids, but they had to have good grades," he said, noting the janitorial crew also is in charge of all school sporting and performance events. "They loved it because I would get them out of class to help with different things."
In addition to teaching students the process at hand, Williams said he went out of his way to reinforce respect as an important part of performing any task.
He can reel off a long list of "his" kids who went on to high-profile careers and said those graduates commonly pull him aside when they return for a visit.
"Lots of kids come back with their kids," he said. "Even the kids on the football team, I knew their dads when they played ball here."
Williams' interview is interrupted for the moment as a postal worker stops by to drop off mail and say goodbye to the custodian — who claims a 17-year run without a sick day at one point.
"I had her when she was in school here," he says after the mail carrier exits.
One of Williams' favorite duties during the years has been helping run the sound and light systems in the auditorium. Both were replaced at the end of the school year this year.
He said the kids have actually helped him adjust to the new computer-based system and that he will volunteer his services after his retirement to help run it.
Williams said he will miss forging relationships with students and staffs, but will use his newfound freedom to travel and spend more time with his wife of six years, Linda.
Linda can attest to the long hours the custodian's job entails.
"He eats, drinks and breathes the school," she said. "I'm second to the school, but I knew my place when I married him. That auditorium is his baby. I think the job has contributed to his good health."
"She gets hot sometimes, but that's part of the deal," he said. "You've got to take care of all the activities."
Linda said Williams is just as organized and dedicated at home — so much so that she doesn't even have a "honey-do" list of projects to complete when he comes home for good.
"I don't ever have to ask him to do anything," she said. "The only time he's not doing anything is when he's sitting down, but he's probably thinking about it."
Williams said he's thought about retiring for sometime — spending more time with the family or sitting on the bank fishing.
"I haven't been sleeping well in the last week because I've been thinking about it," he said. "I've been feeling it. I'll miss the administration, the principals and the staff; all the years I've been here I've never met anybody I didn't like.
"I'll miss the kids the most."

Hugh and Lisa Bell went to the mountains from Fort Mill, South Carolina hoping to see some winter weather and go skiing. Instead, they found the weather to be not much colder from where they came from, and no chance of skiing just yet.
"I want the snow," said Lisa. She and Hugh walked the green slopes at Sugar Mountain on Wednesday hoping the weather will change before they head down the mountain on Sunday. Sugar Mountain's slopes show more grass and mud than white these days after warm temperatures forced the lifts to shut down.
But Gunther Jochl thinks there is a glimmer of hope just around the corner. "By Thursday night we could be seeing some snow and we should have enough cold temperatures to make a lot of snow," he said. The plan right now is for the slopes to reopen Friday morning. "The long term forecast into next week looks pretty good, too."
The week between Christmas and New Years Day is one of the most important tourist weeks all year in the mountains and a big chunk of that business is dependent on the ski industry. At the Alpine Ski Center in the town of Sugar Mountain, George Villanueva was one of only a couple of people working on Wednesday. Staff has been cut back until the weather changes. There are sale tags on merchandise across the store but few customers coming in. "No snow means any business," he said.
In Newland, highway crews for the North Carolina Department of Transportation were on non-winter related duties on Wednesday but are standing by in case the weather does turn. County engineer Jerry Combs says everyone on his staff expects to be busy sometime this winter. "We will do what it takes to make the roads safe."
For now, though, the plows and spreader trucks are parked in a barn-like structure. The lack of snow this year so far has saved money, said Combs. The biggest expense is labor costs. "We do get a lot of overtime when the weather is bad," he said. Workers see some of that overtime in their paychecks but some of the hours are taken care of in compensatory time off later in the year. It means in some years when the winter has been busy, more workers are taking more time off in the summer.
If things continue this winter season as they have Combs expects more people will be available for summer maintenance of highways. "It's too early to tell yet, though," he said
Winter does not officially arrive until this weekend and no one is expecting the area to escape at least one major blast of snow and bad weather this season. The only question they have is when will it hit? The tourist industry is hoping it will be soon.

Low Calorie Pasta Recipes (Slide 1)
My whole family LOVED this recipe! Especially my husband.

This is one of my favorite pasta recipes. I have used 1% milk and it still tastes great. I'm thinking of experimenting with soy milk because it naturally has a creamy texture. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I recently picked up the vegetable pasta and was thinking of mixing that with some white pasta to finish the box. Although I love wheat bread white pasta just tastes better if you cook al dente. I always mixed eggplant being of American Italian and grew up on the food.
Thanks for the tips. I always enjoy mixing my quick dinners being single. Don't like restaurant foods, too of everything. If you notice SUBWAY veggie sandwich is low in calories and extremely satisfying on wheat bread. Good lunch.

Made this last night and really enjoyed it. I did add 50gram of lean finely chopped ham (add 70cal), but did not use full fat milk - I used the 98%fat free milk instead. I had also run out of grain mustard so substituted Dijon which still tasted nice. Not sure how much cal difference in Dijon but I think this still came in under my cal allowance. Will make this one again... maybe with lean poached chicken would be nice too.

Hey everyone. I have been using Youtube videos to inspire me in working on and to help me learn Compulsory Dances. I wondered which ones you thought were the best ones to watch for inspiration? I am learning the Argentine right now and I think Virtue and Moir's is the one that most inspires me.
When I was preparing for my Paso Doble test I watched a bunch of different ones but my favourite was Delobel and Schoenfelder. Love her fierceness!
Love using them but the only problem is that I have a very distorted version of the pattern. Obviously my skating skills aren't on the same planet!

PASS Super Late Model Series comes to town Saturday
- Last Updated on 07:34 AM 06/04/12
- BY Tim Chandler/Special to The Gazette
Mother Nature did not cooperate earlier this season when the PASS Super Late Model Series was scheduled to visit historic South Boston Speedway; however, all sights are now set on a Saturday appearance for the series.
The PASS Super Late Model Series will invade South Boston Speedway on Saturday for the 7 p.m. running of the PASS Super Late Model 150 racing program.
With two wins thus far this season, Kyle Grissom currently leads the PASS Super Late Model South Division standings. Grissom is followed in the runner-up spot by Brandon Ward, who has one victory for the season. One-time winner Ross Kenseth, son of 2012 Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth, is third in the standings and is followed in the fourth position by Jay Fogleman.
In addition to the 150-lap tussle for the touring PASS Super Late Model Series, America's Hometown Track will also host a pair of 75-lap races for the drivers in the highly competitive NASCAR Whelen All American Series Late Model Stock Car Division.
Peyton Sellers will enter Saturday's action with a two-race win streak. The former South Boston Speedway and NASCAR Whelen All American Series national champion swept twin races on May 26 on the .4-mile mile asphalt oval.
The first race of the night on June 9 will get the green flag at 7 p.m. Also featured as part of the evening will be a race for the MAD (Modified Affordable Division) Modifieds.
The PASS South Super Late Model Series is also scheduled to visit South Boston Speedway this season on Aug. 18.
Advance tickets for Saturday's event are on sale and priced at $10 each. Advance tickets can be purchased through Friday at 5 p.m. at the speedway office.
Tickets on race day will be priced at $15 each. Youth will be admitted for $5 when accompanied by a paying adult.

Hey anyone here catching up on the Raising the Cup specials on NHL Network? The Wings have their time to shine twice next week back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday showing the Game 4's against Philly and Washington. There's also the 1995 one against the Devils though I'm not sure how many can bare watching them get swept again in the finals even after all these years. There's also 2002 appearing the week after that on another Wednesday against Carolina and than 2008 on yet another wednesday (I guess Wednesdays in August has become Red Wings Cup days). P.S. On an interesting note, the day they show 1998 cup win against the Caps and the Stars winning the Cup the next day should be around the time Modano starts skating to see if he's willing to still plat. Coincidence?
James Mirtle had an interesting numbers crunch this morning, showing how hard it is for an NHL'er to win the Stanley Cup. James' stats show what a small percentage of players playing at least on...

If the whole coaching staff was to get fired. My first hire would be Ernie Pantusso. I am not sure which coaching vacancy he would fill, but it will all get figured out.

First thing is to FIRE....
Anderson the pitching coach
He has made bad pitchers out of everyone he coaches
Just look at the past seasons how he has ruined pitchers and their careers.
Next step is FIRE the batting coach Vavra
He has no common sense and changes the batter's stace and the effects of his coaching has ruined the players talent
Look what he has done to Morneau and Joe Mauer
Then fire the manager if the above does not happen soon.
How many years do the Twins have to stink before they revamp their coaching staff?

He hasn't completely ruined them, Perkins has come back a million times better than he was as a starter; Pavano, at least last night, showed how good he can be; Burton has hitters he has faced at an 0-24 slide right now; as for the rest of the starting pitching staff, they have been just average for several years, it is only after last year that everyone actually realized how average the Twins' starting staff looks and pitches.
Mauer and Morneau, honestly, just haven't gotten used to Target Field and the way it plays, as both of them are really more suited to playing in the Metrodome.
As for Gardy, he is trying to make the moves he can and not lose players that he needs on the field. Therefore, I would give him some time to work with Ryan and get the moves made that will improve this staff over the next few years.

It's so tiring to hear Gardenhire, Vavra & the rest talk about 'accountability'. What a joke. There is no accountability in this organization, with the exception of Bill Smith getting demoted last year - that was a shocker.
If there were any real accountability with the Twins, there would have been meaningful changes at the end of the 99-loss 2011 season. The only real changes were to give away one of our few reliable pitchers and the only leader we had in the clubhouse.
And now here we are, a month into a new season and the team we thought was bad last year has somehow managed to get even worse - on pace to achieve the worst-ever record in the history of baseball.
The Twins could clean house and it wouldn't matter what coaching staff came in as replacements - this team cannot get worse. They have become completely unwatchable, which is pretty bad coming from this die-hard fan.

About that leave
I'd like to thank Jeannine Sato for her Feb. 16 Point of View piece on expanding the Family and Medical Leave Act for laying out the perfect argument for abolishing the FMLA.
While her nonprofit, government-funded company skirted the law, her husband's for-profit unregulated company did the right thing. It may be surprising that companies actually do want to make a profit, and this shows why profit can be a better regulator than government.
I'm sure her husband's company was sympathetic to his cause and felt a need to help him out. However, I would guess the larger motivator was that it wanted to retain a good employee who would help it to continue to be successful. You see, profit is not such a bad thing.
As we all know, money for government programs comes out of people's pockets. Some programs are good, others are debatable. In the case of the FMLA, the people who choose to stay home and raise their children effectively end up paying for those who try to obtain the "best of both worlds."

By SAMANTHA PERRY
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
I believe the first step in our future — here at home, at Charleston and Richmond, and in Washington — can begin today. Whether one is a Democrat, Republican or Independent, a brighter tomorrow starts at the grassroots level and is built on a united effort for a greater country.
For too long we have worried about the fiscal cliff, pointed fingers at those on opposing sides of the partisan divide and become incensed at ads, blogs and Internet hyperbole aimed at raising our blood pressure while diluting our grey matter. We have put anger above rational thought, craziness above common sense. We have let our passions be highjacked by the faceless, impersonal world of social media. We have abandoned the manners taught by our parents and allowed corporations, PACs and nameless, Internet hate spewers to influence our judgment and voting choices.
I believe we — the people — have much more power than those currently in charge realize. We are the masses. We have the numbers to re-elect or overthrow. But we tend not to.
I believe entirely too many people have become lackadaisical about elections and the political process. Too many individuals know few, if any, of their elected representatives. They fuss and gripe about the problems in the state and nation, yet when asked they have no idea who is representing them.
I believe President Obama is an easy target — as is any president in office — simply because he is under so much scrutiny. I do not agree with most of his policies or philosophies, but he is my president. I will give him the respect he is due while politely agreeing to disagree. All the while realizing he is only one man, and one part of the equation.
I believe it is vital to know one's federal lawmakers, senators and representatives; as well as state legislators and each and every person holding a local office. It is the actions of these individuals that can truly impact us directly and immediately.
I believe civics should be emphasized in schools , and then underscored at home. How can future generations be taught the importance of the political process if they have no idea what's going on in the world?
I believe parents and other adults are role models to children and teens, and they should wisely wield the power that comes with it. Mentors take many shapes, but most all tout the virtues of hard work, honesty and a good character, and lecture about the dangers of drugs, violence and other social ills.
I believe mentors can teach the basics of the political process and engage youngsters in dialogue about local, state and county governments. Politics can be boring, but it doesn't have to be.
I believe it's OK to learn the words of the School House Rock jingle "I'm Just a Bill," and sing it at the dinner table. Any action or activity, whether serious or silly, that educates children about the governmental process is time well spent.
I believe registering to vote should be a rite of passage. Casting one's first vote at age 18 should be celebrated with a dinner, cake or, at the very least, five bucks worth of party favor noisemakers so the family can have a goofy, yet heartfelt, celebration at home. Many families don't blink at shelling out hundreds of dollars for prom dresses, hosiery, hair, shoes, jewelry, tuxedos, corsages and dinner, yet the incredibly significant task of casting a first vote is, too often, barely acknowledged.
I believe there are families who do emphasize the importance of understanding the political system and voting to their children. Kids who grow up in homes where the word democracy is a part of everyday language have an significant advantage over their peers. They know who's running the show, and the vital process of placing people who share their beliefs in policy-making positions.
I believe being a Democrat, Republican or Independent is secondary to teaching youngsters about the importance of a democratic society. If a teen respectfully disagrees with a parent about a particular candidate, it is a confirmation of America's wonderful way of life and indicates a job well done by parents.
I believe "yes men" can be as detrimental in the home as the workplace. Parents who have taught youngsters to think for themselves have empowered their children and provided a priceless service to our country. Our nation has no need for more parrots. But an individual with the capacity and courage to think and act outside of society's self-imposed bounds will be an invaluable asset to our nation's future.
I believe, at some point, we must all make a commitment to learning about our country's problems at home and abroad. Studying these topics may feel like homework and will certainly cut into time spent doing other things. But, as Americans, it is a commitment we must make.
I believe we must all make a resolution to better our nation. The Constitution does not have to be memorized in a weekend, but we can pick one topic to slowly, and consistently, study. If we share our new knowledge with family — especially children and teens — we are at least attempting to rekindle the spark that burned so brightly in our forefathers in 1776.
I believe, in the grand scheme of this nation built on freedom, we can once again embody the core principles on which America was founded.
And I believe if we carelessly shrug off this responsibility we are not only performing a disservice to ourselves, we are chipping away at the foundation on which this country was founded.
