Zachary Winthrop '13 also delivered farewell remarks for the Class of 2013. He is the recipient of the George Wharton Pepper Prize, awarded to the senior who "most closely represents the Lafayette ideal." Winthrop, of Philadelphia, graduated with a bachelor of science degree.
The first students to receive their diplomas were Scott Albert '13, Szu-Ying Chen '13, and Megan Young '13, who achieved the highest cumulative grade-point average in the class. Albert, of Marlboro, N.J., and Chen, of Bangkok, Thailand, each graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering. Young, of Manasquan, N.J., received a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering, summa cum laude.
Taylor Dougherty '13, Caroline Lang '13, and Lucas Simpson '13, chairs of the Class of 2013 Gift Committee, presented the class gift. Dougherty, of Sayreville, N.J., graduated with a bachelor of science degree in psychology and a bachelor of arts degree with a major in government and law. Lang, of Yardley, Pa., received a bachelor of arts degree with a major in government and law. Simpson, of South Plainfield, N.J., graduated with a bachelor of arts degree with a major in anthropology and sociology.
Weiss congratulated the recipients of annual Lafayette awards for distinguished teaching, scholarship, and service to the College and recognized four faculty members who are retiring and have been elected to emeritus status. They are Thomas Bruggink, professor of economics; James Lennertz, associate professor of government and law; Anthony Novaco, Marshall R. Metzgar Professor of Physics; and Chester Salwach, associate professor of mathematics.

Backpacker Magazine – December 2007
Recently released as a full-length memoir, The Source of All Things was first published as a feature article in BACKPACKER in December 2007. This is the full-text of that article.
Now a full-length memoir, The Source of All Things by Tracy Ross is available from Amazon.com and other booksellers.
Looking back, there were no signs or indications to tell us my dad's desire was unraveling inside him, dragging him away from my mother, toward me. For a long time after we stood on the log across Fishhook Creek, he didn't touch me. But at age 12, as I began to climb the wave of puberty, he came back.
At first, he really was tucking me in—just thoroughly. But later, he let his hands wander. Sometimes, he watched me undress through the blinds he half-opened after dinner, when he went outside to smoke. When I sensed him in the backyard pretending to rake the grass, I would crouch and freeze, like a deer that tries to become invisible in broad daylight. Night after night, he ranged across my body, exploring this place and that. And sometimes he sat in a corner shining his flashlight on my exposed abdomen and thighs. The effect was so bewildering, I stopped knowing what to think.
For the growing-up victims of sexual abuse, every day becomes a test of personal perception. According to Darkness to Light, an international non-profit dedicated to child sexual-abuse awareness and prevention, one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused in the United States annually, and only 30 percent of all cases are reported. Most girls are molested by their fathers or stepfathers, and almost always inside the family home.
Even if my dad had stopped molesting me after that first night in the trailer, I would still carry wounds. Incest victims suffer from a wide range of maladjustments, including alcoholism, drug addiction, and promiscuity. Some experts believe that a child's emotional growth is stunted at the age of the first attack, and that he or she will not begin to recover until adulthood, if ever. As adults, many survivors (or "thrivers," as they're now being called) find themselves unable to trust. They suffer from low or non-existent self-esteem. And they almost always have deeply conflicted feelings about sex.
As my dad frequented my bedroom, a creeping disintegration set in. It attacked my self-image, then spread, disease-like, to my sense of morality, ambition, and trust. I now think my entire family felt ill, though no one acknowledged why. We stopped camping, drew the curtains, and hardly ventured outside. Any connection I may have felt—to the mountains, my own potential, the world—began to erode.
Stacey, Tina, and I are speeding down Highway 75, passing a giant bottle of peach wine cooler between us and cranking Depeche Mode. I'm the only one old enough to drive. As we pass the turnoff for Fairfield and 70-mph wind rips through our hair, I turn to Tina and say, "Who're you gonna screw tonight?"
It's early fall. We take acid and smoke cigarettes. We lie to our parents and drive to Ketchum, across the Perrine Bridge, away from the dairy farms of Twin Falls, to a place where nobody knows us, except for the guys who've heard.
We wait outside a gas station begging people to buy us beer. In a couple of hours, we'll go to a guy's house whose name I don't know, but who we met the last time we were here. I'll stand outside on the porch, smoking a Camel Straight. Someone named Sam will walk out the door, push me against the wall, and smash his mouth against mine. By the end of the night, I will have consented to a certain kind of rape.

"It never happened with boys", yet your brother set a cat on fire and threw it in the river? I think you need to talk to your brother about what may have happened to him in secret.
I salute your courage and grace in writing this.
Tracy: I am so sorry for what you have been through. However, I really don't think you should have any dealings with this man. He raped you; a child. There are no excuses. It should negate anything positive he ever did. He belongs in jail, as does your mother and anyone else who knew anything about it. tDo not let him babysit your kids. Do not have anything to do with him.
When I first read this article on the train in 2008, it really hit home. It still hits home. Thank you Tracy for being brave enough to face him and tell the story. I don't feel as alone with the "secret" that I keep.
How could you let him babysit your kids?!!?!?
Great stuff. Saw yr interview and googled this article. Have lived and hiked in AK, CO, ME, where I camped with my prime abuser. Have been working things through with that person past 3 yrs, and writing about it. Helps, and things are better. Keep it up. God bless.
For you who don't think her story shouldn't have been in this magazine, I think things happen for a reason. Maybe her story reached out to someone in need,
Beautiful writing Tracy. I hope you are well.
Congratulations Trace, you finally did it.
The beauty and honesty of Tracy's journey is as breathtaking and awe inspiring as the Sawtooth Mountains themselves. Bravo to this brave author, couragous yet as lovely and delicate as a robin's egg. Her story belongs here because humans and nature go together. Both are as delicate as a spring trillium and as dangerous as an avalanche. Bravo Tracy... Keep writing, it is your gift to others.
Brilliant imagery & searing pain - one of the most well written and touching stories, I've read in a long time.
wretched story, but beautifully written. Really captures the essence of growing up in southern idaho, as well as hiking and camping around red fish lake. I've been gone a long time, and didn't know they had succeeded in getting some salmon back in redfish. Fantastic!
The last reader is right. It deals with an ugly topic. This is story that does not belong here. In fact, it does not belong anywhere. No one should have to tell it. But she did and with grace and courage. Showing how the living a independent and active life outdoors helped her overcome anger and hate. And gave her the strength to confront her former abuser with calm restraint. Thank you, Tracy. I now have a new favorite writer.
I think this is a phenomenal story. Thank you for sharing it. For those who do not think think this magazine is an appropriate place for it- you have a choice. Do not read it.
Congratulations on your win and telling your story. I, too, was a victim of rape and abuse. You are a strong woman, and I wish you respite from the demons.
congratulation. a have spent the last hour reading your essay, written in a foreign language for me.
congrat's on the win this evening. must be something of a mixed experience, but wonderful nonetheless. wish i could read the article in its entirety on Backpacker.com. unfortunately, it seems to be only partially available...at least for my browser. that aside, well done!
This article was really well done, great use of the word maw. With twitter stealing news clips before you can even get a good lead-in sentence, this is how writing is going to need to be in the future. I know what the trails look like but this article is about much more than hiking, great gonzo style.

Flash Player woes
Google's Chrome browser ships with a different version of Adobe Flash player (10.1.103.19 ) than the current release (10.2.161.23) and is causing various problems for me, most notably the inability to stream my webcam.
Luckily it's easy to disable. Just visit chrome://plugins and expand to details view. There will be two version of Flash and you can disable the problematic one to fix the problems.
In addition, the version of flash that shipped with OS X 10.6.5 is buggy and may need to be upgraded. I found installing the latest 64bit release alleviated the problems.

Addicted to Shopping
Some consumers can't cut back, even when they should.
Just when many consumers are trying hard to stick to budgets, some companies are doing whatever they can to persuade us to ignore those frugal plans.
Last night on television, I saw a Discover Card ad that began, "We are a nation of consumers. And there's nothing wrong with that," against a backdrop of plasma televisions and iPods. Oh, really, there's nothing wrong with that? With the personal savings rate hovering around 0 percent and the average American carrying $16,635 in debt (excluding mortgages), I would argue that there's a lot wrong with that.
While relatively weak retail sales throughout this year suggest that many consumers are ignoring these kind of advertisements and tightening their belts anyway, there's plenty of evidence to suggest at least some shoppers are splurging like they always have. A new survey from HSBC Direct found that over half of respondents said they "splurged" within the last month, because it relieves stress, it feels good, or they simply deserve it. In fact, 1 in 5 respondents said saving money requires more discipline than quitting cigarettes. I don't mean to be insensitive to people who struggle with shopping addictions (a condition that afflicts about 2 to 5 percent of the population), but if spending feels as addictive as nicotine, it's time to seek professional help.
The survey does not describe just what kinds of things people are splurging on, so it's hard to judge how much it matters. To some people, a latte is a splurge. To others, it might mean a new Pucci dress. I strongly believe in the pleasures of small purchases and think everyone should find a way to set aside a small amount each week for things that make them happy, such as a yoga class or chocolate-chip cookie. But splurging out of habit sounds like a waste to me.
What do you think—are you prosplurge or skeptical of its benefits?

The state Assembly and Senate on Thursday voted unanimously to impanel two separate committees to investigate the George Washington Bridge scandal embroiling the administration of Gov. Chris Christie.
The lower house voted 75 to 0 on a resolution creating the Select Committee on Investigation – a 12-member panel charged with the ongoing probe of the September lane closures that gridlocked the town of Fort Lee for four days.
The vote came after a 40-minute discussion on the floor of the Assembly, where Republican members peppered John Wisniewski – the committee's chairman – with questions about the process the committee will follow and repeatedly asked for assurances that the minority party would have full and equal access to the information gleaned.
"We have a problem to fix,'' Wisniewski said prior to the
Republicans, notably Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen/Passaic), criticized Democrats for hiring special counsel without any input from the minority party a day before the panel was convened.
The panel is comprised of eight Democrats, including Majority
Leader Louis Greenwald (D-Camden/Burlington) and transportation committee head John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), who will chair
the committee, as well as
four Republicans.
In addition to Greenwald and Wisniewski, named to the committee are:
· Marlene Caride (D-Bergen/Passaic);
· Michael Patrick Carroll (R-Morris/Somerset);
· Betty Lou DeCroce (R-Morris/Essex/Passaic);
· Amy Handlin (R-Monmouth);
· Gordon Johnson (B-Bergen);
· Paul Moriarty (D-Gloucester/Camden);
· Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen/Passaic);
· Linda Stender (D-Union/Middlesex/Somerset);
· Valerie Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen);
· Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Mercer/Hunterdon).
On Wednesday, Assembly Democrats announced that former Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar, of the New York-based law firm of Jenner & Block, has been tapped to be the investigatory committee's legal counsel.
Schar was the lead investigator and prosecutor in Blagojevich's corruption trials. The former Illinois governor is serving a 14-year federal sentence for corruption after he was found guilty of soliciting bribes for political appointments, including the 2008 vacant U.S. Senate seat of then-President-Elect Barack Obama, while he was governor.

Find primitive polynomials for Galois field
pol = gfprimfd(m,opt,p)
Note: This function performs computations in GF(pm), where p is prime. To work in GF(2m), use the primpoly function. For details, see Finding Primitive Polynomials.
If m = 1, pol = [1 1].
A polynomial is represented as a row containing the coefficients in order of ascending powers.
pol = gfprimfd(m,opt,p) searches for one or more primitive polynomials for GF(p^m), where p is a prime number and m is a positive integer. If m = 1, pol = [1 1]. If m > 1, the output pol depends on the argument opt as shown in the table below. Each polynomial is represented in pol as a row containing the coefficients in order of ascending powers.
|Significance of pol
|Format of pol
|One primitive polynomial for GF(p^m) having the smallest possible number of nonzero terms
|The row vector representing the polynomial
|One primitive polynomial for GF(p^m) having the greatest possible number of nonzero terms
|The row vector representing the polynomial
|All primitive polynomials for GF(p^m)
|A matrix, each row of which represents one such polynomial
|A positive integer
|All primitive polynomials for GF(p^m) that have opt nonzero terms
|A matrix, each row of which represents one such polynomial
The code below seeks primitive polynomials for GF(81) having various other properties. Notice that fourterms is empty because no primitive polynomial for GF(81) has exactly four nonzero terms. Also notice that fewterms represents a single polynomial having three terms, while threeterms represents all of the three-term primitive polynomials for GF(81).
p = 3; m = 4; % Work in GF(81). fewterms = gfprimfd(m,'min',p) threeterms = gfprimfd(m,3,p) fourterms = gfprimfd(m,4,p)
The output is below.
fewterms = 2 1 0 0 1 threeterms = 2 1 0 0 1 2 2 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 1 2 0 0 2 1 No primitive polynomial satisfies the given constraints. fourterms = []
gfprimfd tests for primitivity using gfprimck. If opt is 'min', 'max', or omitted, polynomials are constructed by converting decimal integers to base p. Based on the decimal ordering, gfprimfd returns the first polynomial it finds that satisfies the appropriate conditions.

Risk with Negative Genetic Testing
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My sister was diagnosed with DCIS and had mastectomy. My Mom was just diagnosed as well. My sister tested negative in the genetic testing to see if she carried the gene that would affect her daughters. Does that mean they can never get breast cancer? My sister said they are cleared, but I am not because of my Mom. Please clarify.
Jill Stopfer, MS, CGC, Certified Genetic Counselor, responds:
This is a common misconception and underscores the importance of genetic counseling by a qualified professional so people don't just have genetic testing, but understand the results, and the meaning of these results regarding their risk and follow-up recommendations.
First of all, there is a common misconception that there is one "breast cancer gene" that accounts for all inherited risk for breast cancer, or for the breast cancer that runs in families. This is not the case. There are many, many genes that may influence one's chances of developing breast cancer. Only some of the genes have been identified so far, and only a few of them are available now for clinical (commercial) testing. The best known of these breast cancer genes are BRCA1 and BRCA2. If there is a family history of breast cancer that looks suspicious, meaning it looks to have a familial component, these two genes will be responsible only 50% of the time. This means that you can have familial, or hereditary risk for breast cancer, but have it due to something other than BRCA1/2. It's possible that a different gene, or set of genes, could underlie familial risk in the
family asking the question below. When an individual is tested and found to be negative for BRCA1/2, then the history is still unexplained, and may or may not be due to significant genetic or inherited factors.
Find a genetic counselor in your area through the National Society of Genetic Counselors or the National Cancer Institute.

An open letter to Emily Thomas and the art community
Hello everyone, since much of the art community is talking about Emily Thomas and her blog post, here is my response. This is my column, which will appear in the paper on Sunday.
This column began, in my mind, as an open letter to Emily Thomas.
Thomas recently made a trip with her daughters to the Milwaukee Art Museum where she saw a few things she liked but found much of the art to be lewd and lame, according to an entry in her family blog. It was a Wednesday, a free day for Milwaukee County residents, and she was "sooo glad" she didn't pay to get in.
"I'm sorry, but words cannot express just how much I loathe this 'exhibit,'." she wrote of Ellsworth Kelly's "Red, Yellow, Blue II."
"Wait, I get it," she continued. "The 'artist' ...is coming back over the weekend to put something real onto those primary colored rectangular pieces of crap."
Thomas also celebrated one daughter's snickering at the "HUGE backside" of Gaston Lachaise's bronze sculpture "Standing Woman." Thomas' daughter closed her eyes in disgust when she passed. "I'm right there with you child!" Thomas wrote.
Worse, though, was a painting in the Jan Lievens exhibit that she described as a "woman with her breasts hanging out."
"So ugly...I told (the girls) to close their eyes as they walked past it," Thomas blogged.
My initial reaction to this? Exhaustion. Annoyance. I was tempted to dismiss Thomas as the kind of person Picasso warned of.
"People insufficiently prepared for art should never be allowed close to art," Picasso said. "Yes, art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art."
I was not alone in this reaction. The "Thomas Family" blog entry circulated in the art community via e-mail, Twitter, the Milwaukee Artists Resource Network listserv and general chitchat.
"YIKES!" wrote Michael Moynihan to the MARN group. "At first I thought this was a joke or satire. But then I realized it was an actual person." In her MARN post, Liz Humphrey wrote that Thomas "purposely reinforces her children's limited world view and is proud of it." Peter Goldberg weighed in, too: "This is not a laughing matter. We should be concerned about art literacy for the sake of the future of the arts and for the sake of the world."
This was exhausting, too. The laments can be as predictable as Thomas' my-kid-could-make-that refrain.
Let's break this down, briefly. Kelly's triptych of colors is a coy and challenging modern artwork. Hate is not an irrational reaction. Is it possible that it is crap? I'd say it's an open question.
"Standing Woman" is another story. I'll defend her proud, heroic visage to the death, down to her well-endowed derrière. The bias against a big bottom is problematic. I won't get into that here. The question I'd have for Thomas is this: Are you just looking for art to be pretty?
The Lievens? Think of it as a 17th-century version of a Facebook picture, made by boys being boys (one of them being Rembrandt!), for better or worse. I like the view of the show's curator, Arthur K. Wheelock Jr.: "It's somewhat risqué for sure (but) sweet also."
Still, if Thomas finds a jiggling prostitute abhorrent, all power to her. Why are we so offended?
I tried getting in touch with Thomas via her blog to no avail. What I see on her blog pages, though, is a great mom who takes her daughters on wonderful adventures and encourages one of them in her desire to be an artist. I see a mom who organized a birthday party with an art gallery theme, complete with an exhibition of her daughter's oeuvre, an art theft game, art-making projects and cakes shaped like artists' palettes.
What I see is a woman who packed up three small girls and went to the museum hoping for a great experience — and didn't get one. I see a woman who didn't connect.
What's so disturbing is what Emily Thomas represents: a world of people who don't connect.
Why that is and who's to blame — these are big questions.
I don't have the answers, but I do know that the narrative that museums tell, the art historical context that's needed to enjoy them, is lost on many of the Emily Thomases of the world.
And is it any wonder? With an on-demand, image-driven culture that's overwhelmed with creative output, with actual art, who's going to be invested in that particular conversational thread? The biggest challenges that museums face is the ubiquity of art outside of them.
But ultimately the disconnect is a problem for artists and the art itself. Where does this leave those artists who reacted so vehemently to this particular mom and blogger? Where does it leave artists who have unprecedented access to public opinion about art?
What does it mean to make art at a time when art literacy may be faltering, on the one hand, but, on the other, there's a rich, visual vernacular to tap into?
What would happen if artists went into the studio with Emily Thomas in mind? I can't help but think this is a healthy, needed challenge.
Please come back to the blog on Sunday. One artist and mother, Jennifer Sobczak, had a strong reaction to Emily Thomas. I interviewed her at MAM in front of the artworks in question. Hear Jen talk mom-to-mom about art and parenting.

here's a link to a screen shot i made of the Thomas family's blog before it was pulled.
I wrote an elaborate response on my blog at http://jeniphersob.blogspot.com
Art isn't always beautiful, isn't always "clean", and doesn't always appear to have required a great deal of talent, skill or time. But all of the pieces mentioned in this column engendered a response. This mother gave those kids a remarkable experience. The fact that she and the kids didn't like everything they viewed, doesn't mean that she is wrong however. I can appreciate all of it, but I certainly have viewed works of art that I simply didn't like. I have had several art history classes. I don't believe I am required to gush over all of it. I also think the "intellectual vs. plebian attitude is appropriate. You don't need to have had any art appreciation or history classes to enjoy it. You just need to open the door. This woman did.
Bravo Mrs. Thomas for taking your kids! Bravo for your honest response.
Sorry, I meant, "intellectual vs. plebian attitude is inappropriate.
"What's so disturbing is what Emily Thomas represents: a world of people who don't connect. Why that is and who's to blame — these are big questions." Yes, they are big questions, and suggest to me that maybe the world is moving too fast?
Maybe if people were encourage to read more, and artists were willing to reveal themeslves by commenting on what motivated them to a specific execution, there might be some transparency and more understanding.
The Music Lesson by Kathryn Weber, The Girl with The Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean, Tess of the D'urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (and other classics) provide insights that might prepare exhibit viewers to slow down and smell the roses.
We need to keep educating. This has been a great discussion and pretty enlightening...or some would say it just confirmed some of our private thoughts. Milwaukee isn't alone in this. Views on art are unenlightened world wide. Milwaukee has grown in the past decade and I hope it continues. Sometimes I feel it is so far behind when I look at other art destinations. But there has been a great deal of promise unfolding. Art City has offered us a great deal of opportunity to think and debate. Hopefully we will become more active in our actions to continue growth. One of my favorite sayings by James Carse ..."Art is not art except as it leads to an engendering creativity in its beholders"
in response to reading jeniphersob blog post:
How, EXACTLY, did this mother not allow her children to think outside of their comfort zones? They went to the museum, they saw stuff that they didn't like, they voiced that opinion, and the mother said, "don't look at it." In essence, if you don't like something, don't look at it. She had three children with her. How is she supposed to stop and have an intellectual conversation about a painting that none of them find interesting? With three children of varying ages? Disservice!? I think her taking three children to an art museum is quite the feat.
Shoot, I don't feel like making art FOR Emily, but I do feel like making art ABOUT her.
the fact that emily closed off her blog to the public AFTER she wrote about her museum visit makes me wonder...if you make a statement and you stand behind your convictions, why close your blog off to the public? i'm not saying she had second thoughts about what she wrote or felt. i'm saying that i make comments, observations and analysis every day on my blog. and my blog stays up and open to the public because i stand behind my viewpoints, regardless how they're perceived by the public.
NOW i could never say, 'i applaud emily for stating her opinion publicly'. it's could she closed her blog to invited people only. she obviously feels her opinion isn't worth that much.
"it's good she closed..." sorry.

Rooks County accident injures 3
PALCO -- An accident Friday evening in Rooks County, approximately 1 mile south of Palco, sent three people to the hospital.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2008 Dodge driven by Eugena Reed, Palco, was northbound on 3 Road, and Kurt Dinkel, also of Palco, was driving a 2007 Buick eastbound on X road.
Dinkel failed to yield at a stop sign, and the Dodge struck the Buick in the passenger side. The Buick struck a power pole, and both vehicles came to rest in the northeast ditch.
Reed and passenger Eva Hillerbrand were transported to Rooks County Health Center, Plainville.
Dinkel was taken to RCHC and flown to Wesley Medical Center.
It is unknown whether Reed and Hillerbrand were wearing seatbelts. Dinkel wasn't wearing a seat belt, according to the accident report.

Current setup: I'm running ipchains as a firewall and to proxy my other machine to the Web via DSL. This Linux firewall has two NIC cards: one with a public IP address, the other on my private 10.100.100 network. I have a web server on the private network (10.100.100.20). How do I configure ipchains to redirect all web requests at my firewall to the web server on my internal network? —Mitchel Vernor, firstname.lastname@example.com
You'll need to use a port forwarding tool (such as redir or ipmasqadm) to "redirect" all requests that try to connect to port 80 (assuming you are using the default port) of your firewall's address to the web server's address. redir is a user-space program that has some limitations, but works with older kernel versions. ipmasqadm (which I recommend) works with 2.2.x (some 2.1.x also) and it is kernel-based.
Assuming all other input, output and forward chains are present, you should simply add:
ipmasqadm portfw -f ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L EXTERNAL_FIREWALL_IP 80 -R 10.100.100.20 80
to your startup script. —Mario de Mello Bittencourt Neto, firstname.lastname@example.com
More information on port forwarding under kernel versions 2.2 and higher, including examples, can be found at www.monmouth.demon.co.uk/ipsubs/portfw-2.2.html. —Chad Robinson, email@example.com
If you don't have ipmasqadm on your system, you can find it here: http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org/. You need at least kernel 2.2.x for this to work (although there are patches for 2.0.x), and your kernel must have IP: ipportfw masq support (EXPERIMENTAL), which is an option you can select only if you checked "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" during configuration. —Marc Merlin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I have a PPP connection that supports TCP/IP using a null modem between Win98 and Linux boxes? Any one of the machines needs to dial up to the other. I am using Red Hat 5.2. —Kiran, email@example.com
Yes, you can. I would set up the Win98 machine to "call" the Linux system by double-clicking on a dial-up connection. I prefer this way, since the Windows machine expects to "log in" to the remote system and the Linux box can provide that "login". For this to work, you have to take care of the proper setup (pin out) of the serial cable that connects the machines together. Also, depending on the cable setup, it would be a good idea to tell the Windows machine, at the dialup port configuration setup, not to wait for the dial tone before dialing. The Linux box will not provide a dial tone. On the Linux side, you can create a new login ID with a password and configure it to have the PPP daemon as the login shell, instead of the usual bash. Also, you have to set up the serial port on the Linux box to provide the login automatically all the time. A good page that explains this in great detail is www.linuxgazette.com/issue41/smyth.html. —Felipe E. Barousse, firstname.lastname@example.com
A friend who uses Debian 2.1 tried to install Red Hat 6.0 into another partition of his hard disk. The installation process of Red Hat has deleted the partition table of his hard drive. We need a way to recover some important files which are in the Debian partition. We can't access the partition. Can you explain some way to do it? —Alexis Serafin, firstname.lastname@example.com
If you know exactly what the partition table looked like before the crash, you can simply write a new partition table that looks exactly like the old one, mount the old partitions and back up the data. If the install process was aborted immediately after the new partition table was written, this alone may solve the problem. If all else fails, try this: make a partition that includes the whole disk (say, /dev/hdb1), mount that and raw-copy the entire disk to a big file (on another disk) with something like:
dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/bigdisk/recovered.data bs=512
Then, try to piece the files together using /bigdisk/recovered.data. Personally, I've tried only the dd step, so there may be problems with this approach beyond the fact that stitching up the files manually is awfully difficult. Consider it a desperation strategy. I know it's never helpful to hear this after the disaster occurs, and please don't think I'm not sympathetic, but the best way to deal with problems like these is always prevention: keep backups, and print out critical information such as partition tables before you need it. This is the voice of bitter experience speaking. —Scott Maxwell, email@example.com
While it is hard, you can look for the boot partition signature (55 AA at the end of the block, I believe) and locate the partitions on your disk. The above requires a disk editor, such as diskedit from Norton, and once you have the partition offsets, you can go to the partition table (first block of your disk, apply the partition table view and key in the numbers). Note that it's not trivial, and having another computer as a model to look at and copy from helps quite a bit. You can also try fixdisktable which automates this (only for primary partitions, though); it can be found at bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html. —Marc Merlin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Dade County Schools Superintendent Shawn TobinPhoto by Ben Benton /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Some aspects of Dade County Schools will need improvement.
That's a foregone conclusion -- even before the Feb. 3-6 visit from a school accreditation team from AdvancED, which will inspect the Trenton, Ga.-based school district's two elementary schools, middle school and high school.
"Every school system ... gets opportunities for improvement," said Jennifer H. Oliver, spokeswoman for the school accreditation group.
Parents sometimes think the "opportunities for improvement" designation is a bad thing, she said.
"It's really not. It's a key concept of accreditation," Oliver said.
AdvancED is a nonprofit group with headquarters in Alpharetta, Ga., and Tempe, Ariz., that does accreditations at 23,000 prekindergarten through 12th-grade schools around the world.
It gobbled up the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement that formerly did accreditations in 11 Southern states, including Georgia, as well as two organizations in the Midwest and Northwest that accredited schools in 26 states.
Dade Schools Superintendent Shawn Tobin said all 180 school districts in Georgia must undergo accreditation every five years.
He has prepared a 148-point computer slide show for the AdvancED accreditation team.
"My hunch is we are going to be a shining star," Tobin said.
The school district has had to absorb $14 million in state funding cuts over the past decade, he said.
But it's done innovative things, such as creating three advisory boards of elementary, middle school and high school students who share their thoughts with Tobin.
"My [school] board's pretty darn good," Tobin said.
After its visit, the accreditation team will issue a report detailing its findings.
Typically, a school district will post the report on its website, Oliver said.

A call to Suffolk Police about a possible bomb at Long Island MacArthur Airport at noon on Monday was determined a false alarm, according to Islip Town officials.
Suffolk Police officers were dispatched to the town airport, complete with a canine unit and emergency response trucks, and conducted an investigation that lasted a little more than an hour, according to a town spokesperson.
"It was deemed not credible. The call received was not very specific in nature," said the spokesperson, who noted that there was no impact to airport services during the investigation.
In fact, few leaving or working in the airport realized there was a threat issue. A woman manning a luggage kiosk told Patch she didn't know anything about a threat or why there were a half dozen police vehicles just outside the main entrance.
Two cabbies, however, parked a bit east of the main terminal where the police activity centered, said they had heard something on their radios about a possible incident but didn't have specifics.
According to information posted on the town's website, the Ronkonkoma-based airport is among the top 90 airports in the United States in terms of passenger volume, with more than 5,000 passengers flying through the facility daily.

I've always had a real soft spot for "killer croc" flicks. (OK, fine: Killer Crocs and Angry Alligators!) So while very few of these movies are actually any good, if I hear about a new cheapie that features more than two or three characters getting eaten by a ravenous animal ... I'm down. Seems I've had a lot to be (slightly) excited about over the past several months, because in addition to the home-video sequel Lake Placid 2, I've also been treated to the reptilian rampages of Primeval and Black Water ... with Greg McLean's Rogue and Stewart Raffill's Croc just around the corner. The original Lake Placid, you'll no doubt remember, was a very jokey sorta-horror flick in which folks like Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt, and Bridget Fonda get chased around by a crocodile who takes up residence in a lake.
So there. You're all caught up and can now sit down to watch Lake Placid 2 without worrying that you've missed something important. Like most direct-to-video sequels, this flick has practically nothing to do with its predecessor; it's just easier to sell Lake Placid 2 to a video-store customer than it is to sell, say, Killer Croc. Plus it's important to note that Lake Placid 2 had its debut on the Sci-Fi Channel. Unfortunately, and this is coming from a guy who found a few things worth enjoying in freakin' Crocodile 2: Death Roll for cryin' out loud, Lake Placid 2 is every bit the flat, generic, and entirely colorless knock-off we've come to expect from afterthought sequels. It's a lethargic would-be remake of the first Lake Placid, to be completely honest, but without the screenwriting of David Kelley (and without the relative star power of Pullman, Platt, and Fonda), this is a big, gaping yawn of a retread.
Here's your plot: A bunch of stupidly large crocodiles have invaded a small lake in Maine. Some very boring characters get eaten -- mostly offscreen -- and then the real fireworks begin: The sheriff, along with a wildlife officer (also his ex) and a pompous, wealthy hunter, wander through the woods, stopping occasionally to bulge their eyeballs at one of the fakest-looking crocs you'll ever see. (And if CGI is so great, how does the 1980 Alligator look so much better than this 2007 Crocodile? I don't get it.) Meanwhile, in another generic subplot stolen casually from Jaws 2, the sheriff's son and a bunch of bland teens get attacked by crocodiles in really boring fashion.
It's pretty tough to make "alligators eating people" a boring thing to watch, but director David Flores (Python 2) displays all the creativity of a blind chimp. He'll occasionally sweeeep his camera across the proceedings, just like a little kid will go "ta-da!" after a silly little magic trick -- but the screenplay (which comes from a pair of reality-TV writers) is a merciless avalanche of bland exchanges, limp quips, and stunningly banal banter. Follow the basic "killer croc" template if you must, fellas, but jeez, would it kill you to try something even remotely different? The always-likable John Schneider, forever trapped between Smallville schmaltz and B-grade cheese, does the best he can with the nice-guy hero schtick, but there's just nothing to work with here. As the swaggering hunter with a dodgy accent, veteran character actor Sam McMurray is pretty annoying (which stinks because he's usually great). The women and the youths are uniformly forgettable, except for the frankly depressing performance by Cloris Leachman as a nasty old woman who likes to breed savage crocodiles for no good reason. (Shake it off, Cloris. You'll always be Frau Blucher to me.)
One might have hoped for something a little more entertaining, given that a few recent video sequels were actually pretty decent, but Lake Placid 2 is a pretty awful affair from stem to stern. It's not even egregiously awful enough to poke a lot of fun at. It's just sort of bland, stale, and ... meh. And if you already saw the flick on the Sci-Fi Channel and you're just dying to see what's in the "unrated" cut, trust me when I say it's not worth the effort. You'll get a few outrageously silly scenes of pointless female nudity (nothing you can't find online, trust me) and a few really shoddy moments of CGI bloodletting.
But hey, if you're a carnage completist and you simply MUST own every croc flick ever made, you'll be pleased to know that Fox threw a few extra goodies onto the DVD. The film is presented in a basic widescreen format, with audio in Dolby Digital 5.1. There's a 4-minute featurette called "Sex, Guns, and Croc-n-Roll" (groan), which is just a bunch of on-set footage. "Surviving a Crocodile Attack" is another 4-minute piece in which actual survival tips are set against some of the stupider scenes from the movie. "Lake Placid 2: The Gnawed Up Version" runs about nine minutes as it speeds through the entire film, stopping only so we can watch the chompy bits. Damn, I really wish I'd checked that out before watching the whole movie.

Lincoln officials have high hopes for the new Delta Air Lines flights to Atlanta and Salt Lake City.
Executive director John Wood says the new service begins Thursday.
He says the flights are a big deal for the airport, which has been struggling.
In the past four years, Lincoln Airport has lost direct service to Memphis, Detroit and Las Vegas, with an accompanying drop in passengers.
Through April, passenger traffic is down 14 percent compared with the same period in 2008.
Travel agency owner Steve Glenn says Delta will need to move the flights earlier for the service to succeed.
Lincoln Chamber of Commerce President Wendy Birdsall says the airport "really is a 'use it or lose it' deal."

BELLAIRE, Texas—A 17-year-old Bellaire teen has learned a lot from books. Not from reading them, but from giving them away.
"I've donated about 60, 000 books," said Sam Collins, the founder, CEO and one-man staff of the non-profit R.E.A.D. for Houston. For three years he has gathered and donated books. He inspects them, cleans them, sorts them, then passes them on to local children. Children he hopes will develop a love of reading.
"From reading you can read, write, there's many other things," Collins said.
"Maybe if you teach one child to enjoy reading, you're also changing the culture of the family because the whole goal is for the kid to take the book home," said Collins' mother Riva.
Sam thrives on the reactions he gets from the children to whom he gives books.
He has even donated books to private Robert Beren Academy, where he is a senior.
"What Sam's done is incredible," said Rabbi Ari Kellerman of Beren Academy. "He's been rallying his friends and teachers to be part of it, which is awesome when you can be the kind of person to make the people around you great also."
Sam's desire to inspire reading may be rooted in his own history with books.
"When I was younger I had trouble reading so I had help and then it just clicked," he said.
He has received recognition from the governor and from national and local organizations.
Next year he leaves for college but his younger brother Jeffrey is willing to take up the cause. In fact he said he may accomplish even more than his older brother did.

Game analysis: Division II Notre Dame College - not to be confused with school from South Bend, Ind. - was no match for the University at Buffalo who used the game as nothing more than a tuneup just before the heart of the Mid-American Conference schedule kicks in. The Bulls never trailed and led by as many as 28 points in their 84-64 romp.
How UB won: Showing up was the key, although Notre Dame did give Cleveland State a scare and actually led by two points in the second half before losing, 77-66.
Turning Point: A little more than five minutes after the ball was tipped, the Bulls led 17-2. It was pretty much downhill from there.
Player of the Game: Big man Cameron Downing missed twice in eight tries and finished with a career best 16 points in 17 minutes.
Cam Connection: Notre Dame's Cam Carlin had 18 points and was 5 of 6 from the field so - combined with Downing - the two Cam's were 11 of 14 overall for 34 points!
Key stat: UB hit 12 of 24 shots from 3-point range. They were also outscored 2-zip on fastbreak points but I'm sure Reggie Witherspoon isn't going to be too concerned.
What It Means: Not much to glean from this one although Witherspoon was able to get some bench players some good minutes.
In the House: 2,162.
He Said It: "For most of the game we got some pretty good shots off some pretty good movement. This is a team that wanted to come in and pressure us and get us to turn the ball over and they did that for the most part against Cleveland State. ... We wanted to be able to handle their pressure and I thought we did a good job at that." - UB coach Reggie Witherspoon.
Up next: The Bulls travel to play Tulsa on Jan. 2 in what will be a homecoming for Downing.

---- — PLAISTOW — A lost billing invoice led to a budget line for athletic training doubling in one year within the Timberlane Regional School District's budget.
A $10,010 invoice for services paid to Northeast Rehab by the district in 2011 was lost at some point, according to George Stokinger, the district's business administrator.
Once the error was discovered, the bill "was paid late. It was paid in 2012," Stokinger said.
To anyone not aware of the late invoice, the difference appears as a $20,020 jump in spending, as seen on budget documents put on the district website last week. In 2011, the district spent $20,485, while it spent more than double that — $44,570 — the following year.
But if you move the value of the invoice back a year, everything lines up, according to Stokinger.
"If you move that $10,000 back to 2011, you have a nice, smooth trend," he said.
Northeast Rehab provides trainers for athletic teams and games at the district's middle and high schools. The company's contract was budgeted at $34,320 for the current school year. The amount requested next year is $37,130, an 8.2 percent increase.
What happened with the bill exactly isn't known. Stokinger said a number of things could have taken place, including the invoice getting lost in the mail.
For the coming year, $13,750 is requested for middle school athletic training staff, while $23,380 is slated for trainers at the high school, Stokinger said.
Disappearing invoices are a rarity in the Timberlane's business office. When asked how frequently it happens, Stokinger cited just one other example — a recent phone bill that was later recovered and paid.
"We had a phone bill that didn't show up one day. We had to chase the company for the phone bill," he said. "It just fell over into the next school year."
