The city and state resumed talks about the construction of a cement bike path on the Coney Island sand after we put a spotlight on the two-year-long standstill.
Bigwigs from the Parks Department and state Department of Environmental Conservation recently met on the Riegelman Boardwalk to discuss the proposed path, which marked their first communication since 2008. They credited us with focusing their attention back on the project, which has $5.5 million in funding but hasn't moved forward in six years.
"Your story helped remind everyone of the project and that we need to come to a resolution on it," said Ilan Kayatsky, spokesman for Congressman Jerrold Nadler, who allocated $3.2 million for the path in 2004.
Discussions stopped because state officials believed the concrete strip, which would include paths allowing wheelchair access to the ocean, would damage the beach, according to Environmental Conservation spokesman Thomas Panzone.
But Parks contends that sand on the north end of the beach where the path would be located "does not tend to erode," said department spokesman Philip Abramson.
When meeting on the Boardwalk, the state offered suggestions about the physical construction of the bike path and how the city could revamp its proposal to meet requirements and make the path a reality, according to insiders. Neither the city nor the state would reveal details about the recommendations.
It's about time that cyclists get their own lane -— and get off the Boardwalk, where they often like to ride, said Todd Dobrin, chair of the Coney Island Friends of the Boardwalk.
"Having bikes on the Boardwalk is definitely hazardous to the elderly, disabled and even toddlers," he said. "It's a great idea to have a separate bike path."
Cyclists agree that they'd prefer to cruise down their own track than dodge pedestrians on the Boardwalk. That's why they're excited to see officials discussing the bike path once again.
"Good ideas never die," said Wiley Norvell, spokesman for Transportation Alternatives. "It's heartening to see a new process beginning to make this bike path a reality."

Is it possible to build a .dmg file (for distributing apps) from a non-Mac platform? And if yes, how?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
It does seem possible to create DMG files with some third party tools. A quick google search reveals at least a few commercial tools:
Not sure about any OSS/freeware options, but it does at least seem possible if you are so inclined.
Edit: I also forgot about MacDrive, which is another great tool for working with HFS+ filesystems under windows. Since a DMG is basically just a HFS+ filesystem snapshot, it is probably possible with MacDrive to create DMG's as well.
Yep, mkfs.hfsplus does it.
This creates a dmg file (in this case 64M) that can be mounted on a mac. It can also be mounted on linux, with something like
after wich you just copy the content you want to it (in /mnt/foo). Unmount it, and the dmg can be copied over to a mac and mounted there.
A project I work on creates DMG files on Linux using genisoimage:
If you want to be really fancy, you can steal the
uncompressed works out of the box, compression may cause problems - the origin/master at least produces a 'checksum' error on snow-leopard
See mkfs.hfsplus
I'm not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but I tried TransMac as recommended by Nik Reiman.
Using this tool I was able to, running on Windows 7, create dmg files which were mountable on OSX 10.8.3.
The only downside for us is that this tool doesn't appear to be command-line friendly; for us that's a deal-breaker as we need to be able to have an automated tool which our build server (Windows based) can use to build dmg files on-the-fly.
If you're distributing Mac apps, then surely you have a Mac to write and test them. Why not simply use that same Mac to create the disk image?
[Edit] Alternatively, if you're distributing a portable app, for example a Java .jar file, why bother with a disk image? Macs understand .zip and .tar.gz archives just fine.
I guess what I'm getting at is, I don't understand how one might need a DMG disk image, but not have a Mac with which to create it.

I will crush the entire IT system. (im not kidding), some devs with get fired while others will survive and profit (a lot) from it.
My mission is to reduce the amount of IT staff, a small team (or even better, a single person) should be able to manage even long projects. This will reduce administrative works, team problems and synchronization between members of the team.
Progress so far
90 % of the V1 Version. It is completely functional (with some bugs).
40 % of the V2 Version. It is a build from scratch.

I would like to setup an internal box that all all external traffic gets forwarded to, and then onto the relevant boxes in-house.
I would like to know the following:
If I have two servers in-house, mail.domainA.com and mail.domainB.com can a reverse proxy forward the correct request on the same IP based on what was requested? For example, the request for domainA.com goes to servera.local and domainB.com goes to serverb.local?
Also, I'd like to build a linux based proxy, any recommendations?

SEATTLE (March 8, 2013)--The Army has more than doubled its number of military and civilian behavioral health workers in the past five years, but a new report says shortcomings plague the force when it comes to diagnosing and treating soldiers for post-traumatic stress disorder.
The report released Friday says confusing paperwork, inconsistent training and guidelines, and incompatible data systems have hindered the service as it tries to deal with behavioral health issues.
Last May, the Army commissioned a task force to review how it evaluates soldiers for mental health problems.
The review came under pressure from U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who was upset to learn that the PTSD diagnoses of hundreds of soldiers at Madigan Army Medical Center south of Seattle were reversed by a forensic psychiatry team.

YAY!! Im not the only person that reads in costume lol.....great pic!!
haha it's so fun! especially pretending you're actually in the comic gives you a new perspective on things~
Hell yeah.
Always loved the Catwoman. She is some good developed character. Her story, her psychology and the relation between her and the Batman makes that woman a perfect character. Nice sexy outfit, by the way! Love it! Approaching the ''Arkham City'' Outfit.
yeah, that's exactly why i love her so much as a character not many people understand that she's not just a sexy woman who runs around in a catsuit stealing things, she has a great backstory and a very deep character! thank you very much, i did take some inspiration from the arkham city style, but this is more of the comic version. i am currently working on doing her arkham city outfit, but it won't be done for another few months, so this was a kind of stepping stone
From this point of view, I was almost sure that it was the ''AC'' suit. If you want some more challenge, you can try the ''The Long Halloween'' Outfit. Haven't seen someone with it actually.
i know of the outfit, and i have seen a couple of cosplayers with it on maybe, at most. i'm not too fond of the outfit though, it looks rather distorted and weird, and though that probably is the right kind of look the creators of 'the long halloween' and the others in the series were going for, i'm just not too fond of it. i'm also too short/stocky to suit it really, i can barely get away with it with this costume but thank you anyway!

By FLOYD NORRIS
Published: June 20, 2001
The Securities and Exchange Commission brought a civil fraud complaint against Arthur Andersen yesterday in the first such case filed against a Big Five accounting firm in more than a decade. Andersen settled the suit and agreed to pay a penalty of $7 million, the largest ever assessed against an accounting firm.
The suit stemmed from failed audits at Waste Management Inc., the large trash company, which led to a $1.43 billion restatement of earnings in 1998, a restatement the commission said was the largest in American history.
The suit appeared to be aimed in part at emphasizing to the other Big Five accounting firms that in egregious cases the entire firm will be held accountable if auditors certify misleading financial statements.
The S.E.C. said that Andersen knew that Waste Management was exaggerating its profits throughout the early and mid-1990's, and repeatedly pleaded with the company to make changes.
Waste Management made promises of future reform -- some of which were not kept -- but refused to reduce reported profits as the auditor recommended, the S.E.C. said. Each year Andersen gave in, certifying the company's annual financial statements as being in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The commission said that the firm's top accountant at the time, Richard Measelle, was consulted and concurred in the decision not to force Waste Management to correct its books. The S.E.C. did not, however, bring charges against him.
''Arthur Andersen and its partners failed to stand up to company management and thereby betrayed their ultimate allegiance to Waste Management's shareholders and the investing public,'' said Richard H. Walker, the commission's director of enforcement. ''Given the positions held by these partners and the duration and gravity of the misconduct, the firm itself must be held responsible for the false and misleading audit reports.''
The S.E.C. filed a civil fraud complaint against three Andersen partners who were involved in the audit, all of whom settled them without admitting or denying the allegations. The three partners agreed to pay fines of $30,000 to $50,000 each and will be banned from auditing public companies for up to five years. A fourth partner was barred from auditing for one year.
Jane Adams, an accounting analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston, said the action was ''a wake-up call'' for the big accounting firms, particularly for the senior partners who are consulted on difficult accounting issues.
Terry E. Hatchett, Andersen's managing partner for North America, said: ''This settlement allows the firm and its partners to close a very difficult chapter and move on. There are important lessons to be learned from this settlement by all involved in the financial reporting process. The pressures on management to meet expectations are greater than ever in a market where information and capital move instantaneously.''
While the settlement will not prevent Andersen from continuing to audit companies, it is the second embarrassment within weeks. Last month the commission filed fraud charges against an Andersen partner in connection with an audit of the Sunbeam Corporation. The partner is fighting those charges, which did not name the firm itself.
Mr. Hatchett said the S.E.C. was signaling ''that it wants strong auditors and will support auditors who take aggressive measures when faced with questionable accounting and efforts to manage earnings.''
The S.E.C. charges, filed in United States District Court in Washington after a three-year investigation, painted a picture of an auditing firm with deep interlocks -- and perhaps conflicts of interest -- with a major client. All of Waste Management's top financial officials were former Andersen auditors. The partner in charge of the Waste Management audit, Robert F. Allgyer, was also the marketing director for Andersen's Chicago office, and his compensation depended in part on his great success at selling consulting services to Waste Management.
Waste Management in the 1990's was striving to meet aggressive earnings goals and to persuade investors it was a growth company. Its share price fell sharply in late 1997 as it admitted financial problems and changed its top management, and it was later acquired by USA Waste Services, which kept the Waste Management name. Waste Management and Andersen settled shareholder suits in connection with the restatement, agreeing to pay $220 million in damages.
The S.E.C., in an administrative proceeding, also censured Andersen for its actions in the case and issued what amounted to a warning to all accounting firms that going along with management in allowing improper accounting presents major risks for a firm.
''Unless the auditor stands up to management'' the first time it discovers incorrect accounting, the commission said in its order, ''the auditor ultimately will find itself in an untenable position: it either must continue issuing unqualified audit reports on materially misstated financial statements and hope that its conduct will not be discovered or it must force a restatement or qualify its report and thereby subject itself to the liability that likely will result from the exposure of its role in the prior issuance of the materially misstated financial statements.''

Hi there,

It doesn't echo anything out at all. I've tried a number of ways that have been suggested on the forum to no avail. I'm starting to get annoyed with the entire process.
Any help in resolving this problem would be much appreciated.

I am a 60 year old female diagnosed with breast cancer, for which I underwent lumpectomy. I am 300 pounds and have been turned down by several radiation facilities due to my weight and the ability of the machine to support me. Am I destined for a mastectomy or is there somewhere that can treat me?
Neha Vapiwala , MD, Senior Editor of OncoLink and Chief Resident in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The issue of weight and not only radiation machines, but radiology as well, is likely to become more common with how common obesity has become in our society. The linear accelerators we use at the University of Pennsylvania can support up to 350 pounds. Varian Medical Systems has developed newer machines that can support up to 450 pounds. You may be able to visit the Varian website to find an institution in your area that uses their machines.
While not an issue in breast cancer because the affected tissues are located near the surface, but for deeper tumors, there may be an issue of effectiveness. A patient's body size, as in the case of prostate cancer, the size of the pelvis, helps to determine the energy of the radiation beams that are used (i.e.: need higher energy beams for greater depth of penetration, because the larger a patient is, the further away the prostate is from the skin surface). Furthermore, the dosimetry (dose distribution and tumor coverage) achieved with the radiation treatment plan may be suboptimal if a patient is too big, depending on the distribution of the weight.
