How to Index Anything
The first step in building an index with SWISH-E is writing a configuration file. Create a directory like ~/indices, cd into it and create the file ./howto-html.conf with the following contents:
# howto-html.conf IndexDir ../HOWTO-htmls/ IndexOnly .html IndexFile ./howto-html.index
The IndexDir directive specifies the directory in which SWISH-E should look for files to be indexed. The IndexOnly directive requests that only files ending in .html be indexed. Finally, the location of the index to be created is specified with the IndexFile directive.
Now, let's build our index of HTML files with the command:
% swish-e -c howto-html.conf
The -c option specifies which SWISH-E configuration file to use. On an older system, building this index may take a few minutes or so; on a contemporary one, it should take under a minute. Figure 1 illustrates the process of indexing HTML files on the filesystem with SWISH-E.
Let's test our first index by doing a simple search for HTML files relevant to the term NFS. You can test SWISH-E indices quickly using the swish-e executable by specifying an index with the -f option, and the text to be searched with the -w option; searches on SWISH-E indices are case-insensitive. Because we expect a lot of pages (or hits) to include the word NFS, we use the -m 3 option to request only three:
% swish-e -f howto-html.index -m 3 -w nfs
This returns (abridged and reformatted):
1000 ../HOWTO-htmls/NFS-HOWTO/performance.html "Optimizing NFS Performance" 33288 998 ../HOWTO-htmls/NFS-HOWTO/intro.html "Introduction" 10966 993 ../HOWTO-htmls/NFS-HOWTO/security.html "Security and NFS" 35968
Not bad—those pages are definitely about NFS, and the output is intuitive. The first column is the rank SWISH-E gives each hit—the hits considered most relevant always are ranked 1000, with less-relevant files ranked in descending order. The second column shows the name of the file, the third gives the page's title and the fourth shows the byte count of the indexed data. SWISH-E determines the title of each page from the HTML tags in each file using one of its HTML parsing engines.
The built-in SWISH-E parsing engines are called TXT, HTML and XML, and each is designed to parse the corresponding type of content. Recent versions of SWISH-E also can use the libxml2 library for the HTML2 and XML2 parsing back ends. Both the XML2 and HTML2 parsers are preferable to their built-in counterparts—especially HTML2. This is why a recent version of libxml2, though technically optional when building SWISH-E, probably should be considered a prerequisite.
SWISH-E supports a full-featured text retrieval search language with syntax including AND, OR, NOT and parenthetic grouping that all work predictably. For example, the following searches all have the expected semantics:
% swish-e -f howto-html.index -w nfs AND tcp % swish-e -f howto-html.index -w nfs OR tcp % swish-e -f howto-html.index \ -w '(gandalf OR frodo) OR (lord AND rings)'
SWISH-E configuration files are simple text files in which each line is either a directive or a comment. Any line in which the first non-whitespace character is a # is ignored by SWISH-E as a comment. All other non-empty lines should be in the form:
Directive Options [Options] ...
If you need to specify an option with spaces embedded, you can use quotation marks:
Directive "Option With Spaces!"
If the option has single quotation marks within it, you can quote it with the double quote character and vice versa, for example:
Directive "Fred's Index Option" Directive 'By Josh "joshr" Rabinowitz'
Dozens of directives can be applied to SWISH-E configuration files. An exhaustive reference can be found in the SWISH-E documentation.
Each SWISH-E index is stored in a pair of files. One is named as specified in the IndexFile directive, and the other is called indexname.prop. When talking about a SWISH-E index, we mean this pair of files.
The indices can get large. In our example index of HTML files, the index occupies about 11MB, about one-fourth the size of the original files indexed.

Re: How to Index Anything
Does anyone know how to indexing a Dinamic page? such as a php/jsp page?
Re: How to Index Anything
For PHP you don´t have to do nothing expecial. The server will return to the bot HTML code not PHP or JSP code. The problem for a robot is to know if a page for example /pages.php?id=23 is diferent from /pages.php?id=24. The robot can´t index every page with different parameters so it must to implement an algorithm that allow to determine if pages are similar or equal and in this case it shouldn´t be indexed.
Re: How to Index Anything
Does anyone know how to indexing a Dynamic page? such as a php/jsp page?
If you spider the site (i.e. -S http) then you don't need to do anything special as long as the PHP/JSP code results in Text, HTML, or XML.
If you use FS method then, at least for PHP, you can have SWISH-E use the PHP cgi executable to process each document into Text, HTML, or XML. In your index configuration add something like this:
IndexContents HTML* .php
FileFilter .php /usr/bin/php "-q '%p'"
Can Swish deal separately with META?
Can Swish deal separately with the META element? It would be very useful to be able to search arbitrary metadata such as authors, keywords or abstracts.
Re: Can Swish deal separately with META?
yes, SWISH-E will automatically parse META tags in HTML/XML docs,
as per the current SWISH-E 2.4.0 documentation here.
SMAN Project RELEASED: search on man pages
Hello All,
The SMAN project, is now publicly available from
SMAN is an enhanced version of the unix standbys 'man -k' and 'apropos,' as discussed in Josh Rabinowitz's "How To Index Anything" article in the July 2003 issue of Linux Journal.
Please test it out and let Josh know what you think!
From the SMAN README:
Sman is the Searcher for Man pages. Based on the example of the
same name in Josh Rabinowitz's article "How To Index Anything"
in the July, 2003 issue of Linux Journal
(http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6652), sman is
an enhanced version of 'apropos' and 'man -k'. Sman adds
several key abilities over its predecessors:
* Supports complex natural language text searches such as
"(linux and kernel) or (mach and microkernel)"
* Shows results in a ranked order
* Allows for searches by manpage section, title,
body, or filename
* Uses a prebuilt index to perform fast searches
* Performs 'stemming' so that a search for "searches"
will match a document with the word "searching"
Again, SMAN is available from available from

Re: setenv LANG C to work around UTF issues
I was able to get around this by setting the environment variable LANG to "C" like this (adjust for your shell);
setenv LANG C
I think this only needs to be done before indexing with sman-update, and not for sman itself.
Re: Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2003?
The author says the code was tested on RH6.2, RH7.3, and Debian Woody. Maybe you made a typo, or you have multibyte man pages on your system (which the article and code mention that SWISH-E will gak on?)
I just tried the sman example above and it worked for me on RH6.2:
% swish-e -c sman-index.conf -S prog
Indexing Data Source: "External-Program"
Indexing "./sman-index-prog.pl"
4803 man pages to index...
processing 20
There's an enhanced version of SMAN in development at http://joshr.com/src/sman. This version should work better, since it's not shortened to fit in an article.

Re: How to Index Anything
This is cool. But how does Google or Yahoo read through any file type for content. I have done searches for linux and these sites have returned pdf, word, html, excel, powerpoint, text, and even an microsoft project file. How can these sites run such massive searches?
Re: How to Index Anything
Google is massive array of computers. That's why it is fast.
They have filters for those types. As long as you have filters, you can do it too.
sure, swish-e is not google,
sure, swish-e is not google, and never will be, but
it can also index MsWord, OpenOffice, PDF, RTF (apart from standard xml, html, txt) - PPT filter is also available by now (see swish-e.org).
and last, but not least - I run swish-e on Windows and Linux too, almost everything described in this good article is possible with Windows version of swish-e (yes, you don't have man pages there :)

By Julie Huss
---- — DERRY — Neighbors continue to fight a proposal to bring Dumpster Depot to Ashleigh Drive.
After several public hearings, the Planning Board last week voted to continue discussing a proposal to bring Dumpster Depot to town.
Officials voted last week to take jurisdiction, but agreed to continue the plan until August.
That decision comes after Dumpster Depot representatives asked for more time to consider a lengthy list of conditions planners put on the plan.
Those conditions include more landscape buffers and operating hours. Other conditions include only empty Dumpsters allowed on site, no washing of Dumpsters on site, no outside repairs, no fueling on site, annual groundwater testing and pest control.
If approved, a 7,200-square-foot, two-story Dumpster Depot would be built in a part of town many officials are banking on for economic development.
The proposal calls for 3,200 square feet of office space and another 4,000 square feet for vehicle maintenance.
The main sticking point with many residents is the storage of up to 350 Dumpsters outside.
There have been ample opportunities for residents to voice their opinions — and they have. Last week, residents once again filled the municipal center's meeting room to voice their opposition to Dumpster Depot.
Residents of Greenwich Road and Don Mac Drive said the facility would be too close to their homes, would be unsightly and would lower their property values.
Greenwich Road resident Brenda Wilson has been a regular at meetings and very outspoken about the plan.
"We live about 900 feet behind the property and I am the only home on Greenwich Road," she told officials at an earlier meeting. "I won't be able to go out my back deck without seeing orange Dumpsters."
One major problem, Wilson said, would be a lack of a buffer between the Dumpsters and her neighborhood. Trees already have been cleared and Wilson said there is hardly anything separating her home from the potential Dumpster site.
Planning officials are taking residents' concerns very seriously, Planning Director George Sioras said, since this is a major plan that affects not only the town's economy, but also those living in the neighborhood.
"Buffering was the number one thing," he said. "By reducing a lot of the tree buffer zone, that made a huge difference to the neighbors."
Sioras said this may be one of the largest turnouts of residents speaking about a proposed project.
"And the Planning Board is sensitive to residents' wishes," he said.
The Dumpster Depot plan has been a major project, Sioras added, and everyone wants to make sure it's done right.
By Aug. 21, Dumpster Depot owners should have more details in place to address the conditions for approval, Sioras said. At that time, the board could vote on the plan.

The perl program works on all UNIX-like platforms and shows details about CPU, memory, I/O, network, devices, files, processes and temperature sensors. Views show diagrams generated using rrdtool. Threshold notifications can be through e-mail or Nagios reports.
Developer Gilles Darold completely rewrote the code and created a new Web user interface. It also makes it easier to build RPM, Debian and Slackware packages from source code. Self-styled plug-ins in any programming language can be embedded.
SysUsage 3.0 is under GPLv3 and ready for download as source tarball from the project page. You can get a taste of the Web interface from a live demo by clicking the tabs across the top.
Good, solid performance monitoringWe've been using it for a few years to monitor our Linux systems. We found the alternatives where either too much or too little, with SysUsage being "just right" in capabilities and ease of use.
Looking forward to trying the new release.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Police are still trying to identify the shooter and his intended victim in the weekend fracas at the Niagara Hotel, a detective said Tuesday.
A 20-year-old black male, whose name police are withholding, suffered a single gunshot wound to his shoulder early Saturday outside the bar at Transit and Niagara streets. Police believe the man was not the intended target and was struck accidentally, Detective Lt. Scott Seekins said. The man was taken to Erie County Medical Center for treatment of a "non life-threatening" injury, he added.
The shooting was called in to police around 1:45 a.m. Saturday. Prior to it, a Niagara Hotel employee told the US&J, a large group of African American men had entered the bar together, and suddenly "attacked" a man inside. Simultaneously, the employee said, several other fights erupted in the bar. Bouncers then ushered the members of the large group outside, at which point bar owner Pieter Esch said he went to the door of the bar and heard a gunshot outside.
When police arrived on the scene, patrons were exiting the bar en masse and advising that a man had been shot. From witness accounts, they gather that four shots were fired and probably from more than one gun.
Four days later, motives for the fights and gunplay still are not known, according to Seekins. The search for witnesses is still on, based on "really bad video" surveillance inside and outside the bar, he said. The shooting itself is not captured in any surveillance footage, he added.
The shooting victim has offered investigators only "limited cooperation," Seekins said. After talking with him, police believe he was not the shooter's intended target. Whether he knows who the target was is unclear. The victim seems reluctant to talk for fear the shooter could come after him, Seekins said. That's why police are not disclosing his name.
"It's not uncommon for victims, even unintentional victims, to withhold information," Seekins said. "This (man) has a real fear of retaliation."
Members of the group that entered the bar and started the fracas are not positively identified yet either, although police believe they're all acquaintances with hometowns including Lockport, Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Rochester, according to Seekins.

When it comes to fat, trans fat is considered by some doctors to be the worst type of fat. Unlike other fats, trans fat — also called trans-fatty acids — both raises your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and lowers your "good" (HDL) cholesterol.
A high LDL cholesterol level in combination with a low HDL cholesterol level increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of men and women. Here's some information about trans fat and how to avoid it.
What is trans fat?
Trans fat is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil less likely to spoil. Using trans fats in the manufacturing of foods helps foods stay fresh longer, have a longer shelf life and have a less greasy feel.
Scientists aren't sure exactly why, but the addition of hydrogen to oil increases your cholesterol more than do other types of fats. It's thought that adding hydrogen to oil makes the oil more difficult to digest, and your body recognizes trans fats as saturated fats.
Trans fat in your food
Commercial baked goods — such as crackers, cookies and cakes — and many fried foods, such as doughnuts and french fries — may contain trans fats. Shortenings and some margarines can be high in trans fat.
Trans fat used to be more common, but in recent years food manufacturers have used it less because of concerns over the health effects of trans fat. Food manufacturers in the United States and many other countries list the trans fat content on nutrition labels.
However, you should be aware of what nutritional labels really mean when it comes to trans fat. For example, in the United States if a food has less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, the food label can read 0 grams trans fat. Though that's a small amount of trans fat, if you eat multiple servings of foods with less than 0.5 grams of trans fat, you could exceed recommended limits.
Reading food labels
How do you know whether food contains trans fat? Look for the words "partially hydrogenated" vegetable oil. That's another term for trans fat.
It sounds counterintuitive, but "fully" or "completely" hydrogenated oil doesn't contain trans fat. Unlike partially hydrogenated oil, the process used to make fully or completely hydrogenated oil doesn't result in trans-fatty acids. However, if the label says just "hydrogenated" vegetable oil, it could mean the oil contains some trans fat.
Although small amounts of trans fat occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, it's the trans fats in processed foods that seem to be more harmful.
Trans fat and cholesterol
Doctors worry about trans fat because of its unhealthy effect on your cholesterol levels — increasing your LDL and decreasing your HDL cholesterol. There are two main types of cholesterol:
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL, or "bad," cholesterol transports cholesterol throughout your body. LDL cholesterol, when elevated, builds up in the walls of your arteries, making them hard and narrow.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL, or "good," cholesterol picks up excess cholesterol and takes it back to your liver.
A high LDL cholesterol level is a major risk factor for heart disease. If your LDL is too high, over time, it can cause atherosclerosis, a dangerous accumulation of fatty deposits on the walls of your arteries. These deposits — called plaques — can reduce blood flow through your arteries. If the arteries that supply your heart with blood (coronary arteries) are affected, you may have chest pain and other symptoms of coronary artery disease.
If plaques tear or rupture, a blood clot may form — blocking the flow of blood or breaking free and plugging an artery downstream. If blood flow to part of your heart stops, you'll have a heart attack. If blood flow to part of your brain stops, a stroke occurs.

Civil War veteran William Hood arrived at the mosquito-infested swamps near Bakersfield in 1874 to build a rail line that would soar through the Tehachapi Mountains, linking the Bay Area and Southern California for the first time.
Hood, Southern Pacific Railroad's chief assistant engineer, assembled 3,000 Chinese immigrants with picks, shovels and dynamite. They snaked the track up treacherous mountain ridges, twisted it back and forth around canyons and punched it through sheer rock in a series of 18 tunnels — climbing 4,025 vertical feet along the way.

Bill to Ban 'Mountaintop Removal' Mining Fails Again
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- This year's effort to ban mountaintop removal coal mining in Tennessee has failed in a Senate committee.
The Senate Environment and Conservation Committee voted 6-2 against the bill (SB578) sponsored by Sen. Eric Stewart of Winchester after a nearly three-hour hearing on Wednesday.
The measure sought to ban water quality control permits from being issued for mining that would alter a ridgeline located more than 2,000 feet above sea level.
The mining method involves blasting away mountaintops to expose coal seams and often filling nearby valleys and streams with waste.
Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville has opposed past version of the bill because it could hurt coal mining in Tennessee.
Addendum: The only two senators voting for the bill were Stewart and Democratic Sen. Beverley Marrero of Memphis. The no votes came from the committee's six Republicans. This marks at least the third legislative session where similar legislation has failed.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Now it's back to basketball for the Navarro Runnin' Bulldogs.
After a Saturday of pepper-spraying turmoil in Kilgore and the after effects that have included meetings with administrators and conflicting stories from the colleges playing out in the media, the Runnin' Bulldogs have another crucial game Wednesday night at home against Tyler.
It presents a challenge on many fronts.
Navarro lost at Tyler, 75-73, earlier this month to an Apaches team that presented the most problems of any conference opponent. The Bulldogs struggled to find their offense against Tyler's zone, especially from long range.
There's 19 turnovers the Bulldogs committed in Saturday's 88-78 loss to Kilgore. Can they clean that up?
Then there's the emotional things to deal with — several players and coaches being pepper sprayed by Kilgore campus police after a post-game incident. The health issues, if any, that arose. And the distraction it created with Navarro's season seemingly rolling along before losing Saturday.
The question is, mentally, are the Bulldogs ready to play basketball again?
"Most kids at that age of have short-term memory," Estelle said. "Some things tend to linger with them. They kind of put it in compartments so to speak, the way they think. Some of them wake up in a new world every day anyway, to make light of the situation.
"We had a good practice yesterday. It's sophomore night and for them it's there's last time suiting up at home. They're going to want to come out and give our fans a great effort like always."
The Bulldogs (22-6, 14-3) can clinch the Region XIV title with victories in their final two regular season games against Tyler (20-7, 11-6) and Trinity Valley (18-10, 9-8). Navarro goes to Athens on Saturday to play the Cardinals.
If Navarro loses one or both of its final two games, its chances of earning the regular-season title and an automatic bid to the national tournament diminishes some, depending on how Kilgore does against Tyler on Saturday.
If Navarro and Kilgore end up tied in the standings alone, the Rangers will win the tiebreaker because of their record in the East Zone (both teams currently have two losses in the East). San Jacinto and Jacksonville at 12-5 still are mathematically alive and could change the tiebreaker scenario in a three-way tie.
Got all of that?
For now, Navarro must focus on beating Tyler, setting aside what happened in Kilgore and the different scenarios that can still play out in the regular season race.
The Bulldogs had key turnovers, their point guards struggled for the first time in several games and no one really stepped and got hot in the final five minutes.
"We didn't play bad the other day," Estelle said. "We made some mental errors and Kilgore made some plays, they're a good team and they won at home. So it's not like we're really bad. We're still leading the league by half a game. We just need to finish this week."
Tyler, just like Kilgore, overcame a halftime deficit at home to beat the Bulldogs. Still, Navarro had a chance to steal a win at the end.
Navarro did not shoot the ball against Tyler's zone. The Bulldogs made 32 percent of their shots. In fact, they shot it worse from inside the 3-point arc — 29 percent — than outside of it, where they were 11 of 31 (35.5 percent). Most of that offense came from Harrison Hawkins, who made 6 of 13 3-pointers and finished with 21 points.
The Bulldogs also have to keep Tyler point guard Anthony Odunsi off the free throw line. Odunsi did a nice job of getting to the rim and getting fouled in the first game. He made 17 of his 19 free throws and finished with 31 points despite being in foul trouble in the first half.
"You can't let anyone score 31 points against you," Estelle said.
Health wise, Navarro is fine after Saturday, Estelle said. A few players are still experiencing burning sensations in their eyes and on their back area. A few minor breathing issues.
But everyone practiced on Monday and Tuesday.
"For the most part everyone's going to be OK," Estelle said.

An appeal from Vigo County Coroner Susan Amos to increase her salary to match that of several other county office holders was unanimously denied Tuesday by the Vigo County Council.
Amos sought to have her salary raised to $47,858 from $31,905. The higher salary would have matched that of the county assessor, auditor, clerk, recorder, surveyor and treasurer. Under state law, in a year in which a newly elected official takes office, that official can ask the County Council for a change in salary. The change must be approved by the council.
A council committee last month stated the County Council looked at salaries of coroners in other similar-sized counties, based on figures from the Association of Indiana Counties, to reach a base coroner salary of $21,270 for Vigo County this year. By state law, a physician who is elected coroner must be paid one and a half times that base amount, which is the $31,905 the council set for the coroner's salary.
Amos told the council Tuesday that the average salary of coroners in the state is $41,875, according to the Indiana Coroners Association. "There is only one other physician coroner in the state and that is actually a dentist in Allen County and he is making $68,727," Amos told the council.
Amos said a nonphysican coroner in Vanderburgh County, which is larger than Vigo County, is making $64,664.
"I feel like [former county coroner] Dr. [Roland] Kohr was paid a straight salary, there was no mention in his salary that he would receive a stipend for doing autopsies, so physician salary was already established to be on par with these other elected officials," Amos said.
Amos said the state's supreme court has stated that physicians, regardless of specialty, are qualified for a physician salary. "Therefore, the only difference I see between Dr. Kohr and myself is that I am female, and I feel that this is very discriminatory," Amos said.
Councilman Mike Morris said when Kohr was coroner, he was performing autopsies for the county. Now, the county has to pay to have those autopsies performed, he said.
"It was my understanding when we worked with him, when I was on the council before, that was part of his salary. He mentioned it more than once. He mentioned it every time he came before a budget committee," Morris said.
Amos said when she was coroner 2000 to 2004, she was paid the same as other office holders. In addition, Amos said Kohr did not ask for the coroner's 2013 budget to be doubled from $50,000 to $100,000 for autopsy fees. That is money that would pay for her salary increase, Amos said.
After the meeting, Amos said she "feels they directly discriminated against me. Whenever they changed the salary ... they did it directed at myself. It is not fair, it is not right and it is not on par with anything else in the state of Indiana," Amos said.
Amos said she will next likely "talk to my attorney."
County Auditor Tim Seprodi, after the council vote, said Kohr in a June 18 budget committee "said autopsies will be charged on an individual basis, which caused the increase in the autopsy fees. Dr. Kohr is on the recording."
Seprodi said Amos had requested minutes of the council, but first requested minutes from Sept. 12, a date the council or a committee did not meet. "I could not comply with that date, but we are gathering the information and will get it to her by Friday," Seprodi told the council.

Not so fast! I was reminded Sunday when I sprayed my running shoes, to pass along something that I learned only recently that every suburban homeowner needs to know.
Most of us know or have heard anecdotally how bad Lyme disease can be when left untreated – which can easily happen because it's not always possible to know when you've been bitten. What is not generally known is that there is a class of products that when sprayed on shoes and clothing actually kill ticks pretty much on contact.
It's available. I believe it's safe, and if you venture outside almost any time of year except the dead of winter you would be well advised to use it.
It's called permethrin. That's the active ingredient, not a brand name (there are several brands). You can buy it in spray or pump form at outdoor stores like REI or on Amazon, and one treatment survives several washes.
Unless you plan to roll in the grass you only need to treat shoes, socks and trousers below the knee (trousers of course tucked into socks) to get incredibly effective protection. I have read studies that described ticks just rolling over dead as soon as they hit the treated fabric.
With the warming weather, now is probably a good time to add one of these canisters to your outdoor arsenal.

Ken Budd will speak about travel, purpose, and his critically-acclaimed book, The Voluntourist—A Six-Country Tale of Love, Loss, Fatherhood, Fate, and Singing Bon Jovi in Bethlehem, at 5:30pm and again at 7:00pm at the headquarters of Cross-Cultural Solutions in New Rochelle.
Book sales will go to the CCS Franco Lalama scholarship. Mr. Lalama was a Port Authority employee who lost his life on 9/11 leading the evacuation of engineering offices in One World Trade Center. The scholarship is being created with money from the book; all of Ken's earnings are going back to the places and organizations where he volunteered.
The Voluntourist tells the story of Ken's attempt to live up to his late father's life—while never being a father himself—by volunteering in New Orleans, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Palestine, and Kenya. Library Journal writes: "This is an extremely funny book… One of the best-written travel memoirs this reviewer has read in a long time." Publishers Weekly calls The Voluntourist "a sincere and subtly written memoir," The Record declares it "Incredibly funny—and deeply moving," and Verge magazine pronounces it "Heart-warming… Unless you're comfortable laughing loudly in public, you won't want to read this on your daily commute."
CCS is at 2 Clinton Place in New Rochelle. For more information go to:

What Is Teen Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that causes blemishes on the face, back, chest, or upper arms. Having acne can be very upsetting. You may feel less attractive. And it may seem as though your skin will never clear up. In time, your acne may go away by itself. But treatment can help to control your acne now. Read on to learn more.
How You Get Acne
Acne begins inside the hair follicles under the surface of your skin. Oil glands that open into the hair follicles release too much oil (sebum), often due to hormonal changes. Sebum and skin cells then clog the pores (tiny openings on your skin). Bacteria can then get trapped in the follicles, leading to swelling and acne blemishes.
Types of Acne
The four main types of acne blemishes are described below.
Whiteheads are round, white blemishes that form when hair follicles become clogged.
Blackheads are round, dark blemishes that form when whiteheads reach the skin's surface and touch air.
Pimples are red, swollen bumps that form when plugged follicle walls break near the skin's surface.
Deep cysts are pus-filled pimples. They form when plugged follicle walls break deep within the skin. Acne cysts are often large and painful. In some cases, they also cause scars.
What Your Doctor Can Do
Some teens see a doctor for their acne because they are upset by the way their skin looks or have a family history of acne. Ask your doctor about the best way to control your acne. Treatment helps prevent blemishes from forming. If no new blemishes form, no new scarring can occur. Treatment may include:
Medications taken by mouth (orally)
Medications applied to the skin (topical)
Physical removal of blemishes
Surgical removal of acne scars
Make sure you understand your treatment plan. If you have any questions, ask your doctor. You will play an important role in controlling your acne.

During a monthly meeting co-sponsored by the Lake Michigan States Section of the Air and Waste Management Association and the Union League Club's Environment and Public Affairs Committees, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) Executive Director David St. Pierre offered a glimpse into the future of the wastewater treatment agency.
"I recently returned from nationwide conferences in Washington, DC and New Orleans, LA, where I had the opportunity to share our work with hundreds of local, state, federal and private organizations," said St. Pierre. "Everywhere I went, reactions have been extremely positive. Whether the MWRD is addressing municipal stormwater management needs and growing our use of green infrastructure or improving our wastewater treatment processes to minimize our environmental impact, the work we are doing is cutting edge."
Already in progress is the engineering design of the disinfection technologies selected for implementation next year at the Calumet and North Side treatment facilities. Continuing to find additional uses for fertile biosolids, the end-product of wastewater treatment, is also underway.
There are other emerging opportunities for environmental protection and cost savings on the horizon as well. A new frontier pertains to the wastewater treatment digestion process in which methane and carbon dioxide, called "biogas," is produced. Biogas has numerous sustainable uses such as producing electricity or vehicle fuel. While few organizations have yet to embrace the use of biogas, the MWRD is exploring the possibility of adding food wastes and restaurant grease into its digesters to increase its production. This gas will be converted to energy as a clean energy alternative.
The recovery of phosphorus and nitrogen from the wastewater treatment process is another planned state of the art process. In excessive amounts, these nutrients negatively impact water quality, but if they are removed from the water stream, they can be returned to the soil as fertilizers for agriculture production.
"The processes and practices that the MWRD is currently investigating are exciting advances in the realm of wastewater utilities," said St. Pierre. "The MWRD has always been working to improve the quality of life for Cook County residents, but we are bringing those efforts into the forefront and sharing our vision and our success so that we may continue to lead the utility sector into the future."
"We were particularly pleased to hear the innovative solutions the MWRD is exploring to our many environmental challenges," said meeting chairman James Harrington. "Many of those in the audience are looking forward to working with the District on developing and implementing these approaches."
The Lake Michigan States Section of the Air and Waste Management Association (A&WMA-LMSS) is a unit of the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA). The Section covers Illinois, Northwest Indiana, Wisconsin, and Western Michigan with chapters of the association represented throughout the region. The purpose of the A&WMA-LMSS is to promote a better understanding and awareness of the challenges that exist in air pollution control, waste management, processing and control, and environmental management programs among representatives of industry, government agencies, research personnel, educators, attorneys and consultants within the geographic area of the Section.

Thread: Nice day to get stuck
Ok not many posters here about getting stuck, but here, where i live, it just happens, no need to think it has an adverse affect on what we think of your driving skills,,,,,, its all about how many trucks tractors and rigging it takes you to get unstuck the we rate your driving skills on,,,,,
So I promised you a story of the best stuck ever,,, well here it is, we call it " I ton water truck/duck
The truck: GMC Tow Truck, bought at auction for 1500.00 in 1990,, sold the wrecker, lights and safety gear 2900.00 , and needed a water truck in a hurry, so we strapped on a 250 gallon polly tank a 3 inch fill pump and a 1 inch pressure pump add 300 ft of high pressure hose some racks and mounting and you have a built in a day water truck.....
Worked it all day hauling filling and dumping, last run of the day, we ran the tank dry, drained the pumps and laid the hose out down hill so no risk of freezing over night and would be ready to go at 6 am.........
6 am the next morning go to get the truck ........its gone...... vanished...... we left it right here on the top of the hill in bull low and the park brake engaged........ ohhh Wait there is the hose way down the hill but its facing up hill ..... thats so weird... follow the 300 ft of hose, ohhh found the truck, in bull low with the park brake still engaged in the creek, all most floating .... well lets get the loader and getter out, nope loader won't pull it, ok lets get the truck and tie it to the loader and the two should pull it out,,, Nope,,, ok now what.. this is when the first rule of custom shop work comes to play, in the field ....if it don't fit get a hammer, if it still don't fit get a bigger hammer.... well we call the neighbour and he came over with his big massy,,, that will pull it for sure,,, nope Neighbour goes back home puts on the duallies, with a snort and grunt it finally tugged that water truck out,,, ok now if we were all at home and the truck was in bull low and park brake engaged, How did this truck end up in the Creek????
that night we repeated our exact steps of the night before, but this time we waited and watched , of course we had a bottle of Jack,Ice and some cola we hung out had a few drinks while watching the truck and listening to some good tunes... half way through the bottle we noticed the truck had moved 12 feet, down hill, no one was near it it just moved,,,, so we drank the rest of the bottle and barked at the moon as we discovered that this truck was really a water truck, or duck......it back click of a cog approx. every 3 sec click... click... click... down the hill towards the creek. apparently the park brakes were not grabbing,, ever been this stuck?

I have friends in MN who do a lot of mudding. Looks to be really fun but the hills of Tennessee don't lend themselves to good mudding spots. Plus my Burb is only 2wd. It's somewhat flatter back home but most years there's not enough precip to make real good mud. Here they have reasonably normal seasons with the exception of this winter. Wasn't quite as cold as last year but was still cold. However it always warmed up before any precip showed up. Back home we have 4 seasons, but 2 of them have the same name so it's really 3 LOL. Start the new year in winter (before I moved to this part of the country I'd never seen less than 6" of snow fall at once), then it's tornado season, summer, tornado season again, and then we finish the year back in winter. Some years each of the two tornado seasons last longer than others, and naturally I've seen 'em every month of the year.93 Suburban (Southern Slayer): TBI 350, 4L60E
