Now that's zero tolerance.
On Saturday afternoon, Jeremy Mayfield inexplicably traded in his near-folk-hero stock car racing status to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez as the sports world's most notorious drug users during one of its darkest weeks.
No matter what he does during what might remain of his racing career, the soon-to-be 40-year-old will forever be known as the first Cup Series driver suspended under NASCAR's still-new random drug-testing policy.
Now, for as long as NASCAR wishes it to be so, the five-time Cup Series race winner and current driver-owner will not be allowed to drive a race car, own a race car, or even be around a race car while it is in use during a NASCAR race weekend.
He's on auto racing's Exile Island and he has no one to blame but himself.
As league spokesman Jim Hunter read off the names of Mayfield and two crew members who also tested positive during random testing conducted at Richmond one week ago, he was visibly straining to suppress personal disappointment and more than a touch of anger. He felt betrayed. Hunter, like all race fans, has long been a Jeremy Mayfield fan. And why not?
The kid with a haircut so bad it was cute came to Charlotte in the early 1990s from his hometown of Owensboro, Ky., to chase his NASCAR dream. He swept floors and worked as a fabricator, then waltzed through a few secondhand rides before rocketing up the ladder in cars owned by Cale Yarborough, Roger Penske and Ray Evernham. He won over fans by punting the un-puntable Dale Earnhardt to win at Pocono and had them cheering again when he won at Richmond during a do-or-die night to make the cut for the inaugural Chase for the Cup.
Throughout the spring of 2009 he'd won over a whole new legion of followers with his throwback decision to field his own team in an age when being a driver-owner is widely regarded as career and financial suicide.
Turns out he had a different kind of self-destruct mechanism in place.
We don't know what banned substance Mayfield took. We know that it wasn't alcohol, which is on the league's banned substance list during race weekends once it reaches a certain blood-alcohol level. And few are buying into the hot garage rumor that he'd produced the positive with allergy medicine (Dr. David Black, NASCAR's drug liaison, told ESPN.com's David Newton that Claritin could theoretically be a trigger, but that the threshold was extremely high). Even fewer are showing faith in the "he mixed together a bunch of over-the-counter stuff to make a homemade remedy" theory.
In the end, what it was doesn't really matter. Fertility drugs, cough syrup, cocaine whatever. If the league determines that someone is ingesting a substance that will impair his ability to drive a 3,400-pound mechanical beast at 190 mph, no matter how slight that impairment might be, he has no business being on the racetrack. Ever.
Zero tolerance.
Under the "reasonable suspicion" policy of the past, drivers such as Tyler Walker, Shane Hmiel and Kevin Grubb (who died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday) were suspended after they had clearly been using hard drugs during the same period of their lives when they were participating in NASCAR races. Then 14 months ago, suspended driver Aaron Fike admitted to ESPN The Magazine -- more specifically, he admitted to me -- that he'd used heroin on the same days that he'd been behind the wheel of a NASCAR Truck Series ride.
In an instant, NASCAR was being attacked from all angles -- media, drivers and drug-testing experts -- for the gaping holes in its two-decades-old zero tolerance substance abuse policy. That criticism was absolutely justified. Terms such as "reasonable suspicion" and "we can test anyone at anytime" were groundbreaking when they were introduced in 1988, but in today's more advanced OxyContin and meth-fueled age, the effectiveness of the rarely updated policy had all but vanished. Within days NASCAR chairman Brian France formed a team to investigate the problem. Five months later he announced the new random drug-testing policy that went into effect this season.
"You have to have total trust in that person who is diving into that corner side-by-side with you," Kevin Harvick said at the time. "If he's drunk or stoned or whatever there are no guarantees that you're coming out of the corner alive. If there's even a hint that someone may be doing it, their ass has to be gone."
And thus, Mayfield and two others are indeed gone. As saddened as Hunter and his fellow league officials clearly were to read Mayfield's name, deep down they can also be proud that they have done the right thing and devised a real, tough, bitingly effective substance-abuse policy.
Thanks to Fike's admission, as painful as it was, zero tolerance is no longer a hollow statement of hope. It's a promise. Three men found that out Saturday afternoon at Darlington.
As Fike made his confession to me in a nondescript breakfast booth in Galesburg, Ill., the more he talked the bolder he became. He admitted that he was lucky he hadn't killed someone on the track and even luckier that he hadn't killed himself off it. He said that if the league tested half of pit road they'd be shocked at how many people they would bust.
Deep down he knew that every word he spoke further drove a stake into the heart of his chances of ever fulfilling his racing dreams. Driving at the highest level would likely never happen again.
Then he looked up, bowed his neck, and accepted his new lot in life.
"If the problems I've had can end up saving some lives and opening the eyes of the people who run racing, then that's not all bad," he said. "There's nothing wrong with being the guy who helped make drugs in the sport go away."
On Saturday evening, we took one more step closer.

This hotel was classified by booking.com as a 5-star hotel. It most definitely is not a 5-star hotel, even though it is expensive. This is an old and poorly maintained hotel, with old and dingy furniture. It is located in an isolated area, where it is unsafe to walk at night. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
The location the activities and the beautiful grounds.
The room was dated and some things were broken.

Archiving Data with Snapshots in LVM2
In some cases, it is advised to ensure that enough storage space is allocated for the snapshot or (as discussed below) a backup directory that will contain all of the archived snapshot data for restoring purposes. To extend an existing volume group, a new PV needs to be labeled. To do so, identify the physical storage device, and using fdisk, sfdisk or parted, create the desired partition size. Verify the partition by reading back the partition table. Then, continue to create the PV:
$ sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sde Disk /dev/sde: 261 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sde1 0+ 260 261- 2096451 83 Linux /dev/sde2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sde3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sde4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty $ sudo pvcreate /dev/sde1 Physical volume "/dev/sde1" successfully created
Append a newly labeled PV to an existing VG with the vgextend command:
$ sudo vgextend VolGroup /dev/sde1 Volume group "VolGroup" successfully extended
If at some point the PV needs to be removed from a VG, use the vgreduce command followed by the names of the VG and the PV:
$ sudo vgreduce VolGroup /dev/sde1
If the VG is being extended for the purpose of creating a backups directory to archive routine snapshots, following the normal lvcreate procedure, define the name, size and VG for the desired LV. Then, format the LV with a filesystem, and for file I/O accessibility, mount it to a directory path:
$ sudo lvcreate --name backups --size 1G VolGroup Logical volume "backups" created $ sudo mke2fs -j /dev/VolGroup/backups $ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/VolGroup/backups $ sudo mount /dev/VolGroup/backups /mnt/VolGroup/backups
When the snapshot has been created, an archive can be made with the tar command, located in the newly created backups directory:
$ sudo tar -pczf /mnt/VolGroup/backups/rootsnapshot.tar.gz ↪/mnt/VolGroup/rootsnapshot
In an event of failure or if older revisions of files need to be retrieved, the archived snapshot can be used to restore the original data contents. This is an extremely ideal backup strategy when running a high-availability production environment. No downtime is required. Although this backup does not necessarily need to be written to a file, using the tar or dd commands, the snapshot can be written directly to another physical storage device, including a tape drive:
$ sudo tar -cf /dev/st0 /mnt/VolGroup/rootsnapshot
LVM2 comes prepackaged with some of the more common Linux-based distributions. In some cases, it even is used as part of the default filesystem layout. Its snapshot feature is one of those lesser-known treasures that really can be used to one's advantage, ranging from personal to larger-scale environments. All it takes is a little time, a little knowledge and a plan on design, deployment and configuration.
dmsetup(8) is a low-level tool used to manage logical devices that use the device-mapper driver. The LVM2 user-space toolset relies heavily on the device-mapper kernel module and support library.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Mar 18, 2013We're stilling waiting for someone to deliver the next true Battleheart, and do so without a freemium structure underpinning everything, but until that time comes Heroes of Destiny makes for a great stop-gap.
Mar 19, 2013Of course it's only natural to expect some form of time-based gating when dealing with a free-to-play game. And as far as I'm concerned Heroes of Destiny does a great job of keeping those gates from becoming a huge problem. It's full of loot and characters to acquire and upgrade, so there's plenty of reason to keep playing for quite a while. And of course it's fun to play. There's always that.

Gilroy Garlic Festival Red Sauce (For Calamari or Shrimp)
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
This is one of the dishes served at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. I think their sauce is really delicious. You may use shrimp if you don't care for the calamari. This recipe is adapted from "The Garlic Lover's Cookbook" by the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association. Serve over hot cooked pasta.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb whole peeled tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 3 lbs fresh calamari, cleaned and cut (squid)
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup white wine
- 1⁄4 cup dry sherry (real sherry, not grocery store kind)
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, crushed
- 1⁄2 lemon, juice of, save rind
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil, add the chopped pepper, garlic, celery, and onion and saute until the onion is transparent.
- Add mashed tomatoes and simmer for 1/2 hour.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- (If you are planning to serve the sauce alone, you may wish to add some basil and oregano and red pepper flakes as well).
- How to make the Calamari: In a very large skillet, heat olive oil over high heat - but be careful not to overheat it - you do not want boiling or smoking, just heating up; otherwise your garlic will burn.
- Carefully add wine, sherry and crushed garlic, sauteeing the garlic; Be very careful when adding the alcohol to the hot pan - you may wish to do this away from the heat for safety reasons to avoid flare ups.
- Add lemon juice and also drop the rind into the pan.
- In a bowl, mix calamari pieces with the herbs and red pepper flakes, then add to the pan.
- Saute about 4 minutes over high heat or until cooked- but be careful not to overcook or it will toughen; if your fish seems ready sooner, it most likely is done - the time will vary depending on the thickness of the cut and type used.
- Pour hot sauce over cooked calamari and serve over hot, cooked pasta.
- You may also use shrimp instead of the calamari, although shrimp may cook even faster.

Fantastic Heatherfeather...I used frozen (hate to admit that) calamari and just made the sauce but oh man, it was good. My DS loves calamari and he raved about this! Thank you!
Very tasty recipe with a strong Mediterranean flavour. I had to use a very large pot to saute the calamari in rather than a medium one. 3 lbs is a lot of calamari and in the smaller pot they would have steamed in their own juices rather than sauteed. Thanks.
super dinner. I had picked up a package of mixed squid shrimp and octopus and been to afraid to try it (I hate fishy seafood and some frozen is). They were wonderful in this sauce. Will use it often and i think that every element can also be used as a simple pasta sauce as well. YUM.

After the demo, and the week after week of screens and videos, we're all pretty sure what to expect with UFC 2009, but one more video and 10 more screens can't hurt right?

Dun Quinn Pier Road by cprmayWatch

The road to the pier zig-zags down the cliff-side, between the sunset and the land, a magic that I shared with no-one this evening. Just me and a bag of jelly beans
Off to the islands we go!! And hand over some of those jellies please!!
That we can do
certainly a trip to the Blaskets is on my holiday-in-Dingle-to-do-list
Great.... but the puffins will be gone
- very beautiful capture
well done
Very nice landscape and beautiful perspective ! Great shot !
Nice path walk along Love how the sky compliments this altogether.
Thanks.. the Path! It gets to be completely surreal a little around the corner, like some fairytale Disneyland castle built out of ferrous concrete!
Ah...sunsets and jelly beans! What pleasure!

Released: May 01st, 2001
Running Time: 90
Director: Tabitha Stevens
Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cast: Shelbee Myne, Jezeree, Ronnie Coxx, Tabitha Stevens, Allysin Embers, Charlene Aspen, Daisy Chain, Robbie James
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
A nice, hot variety tape.
Tabitha Stevens' directorial debut is a fairly good collection of scenes. There's nothing astounding here, but the cast is strong, the bodies are well lit, and the energy is high. The performance of shapely, sexy Jezeree is a perfect case in point. Her hips are tireless, pumping and gyrating as she is pounded. Her tattooed tummy looks fantastic, muscles tightening with each thrust. Tabitha also gives herself some great screen time, engaging in a fantastic toe fuck with Daisy Chain. Both women operate at a fever pitch, panting and hissing between gritted teeth as they ram each other with dildos. The best scene, however, belongs to Allysin Embers. As a horny housewife caught off-guard in the kitchen, she fills the lens with her hot, sweet, wet presence. Kudos to Tabitha for some excellent directorial choices here. She makes sure to use every surface in the kitchen, laying Allysin across the sink, counter, and table.

A Sunday League player who allegedly shouted antisemitic abuse during a match against Jewish team Manchester Maccabi has been charged by the Football Association.
Football anti-racism body Kick It Out has reported to the police the antisemitic tweets that followed a Rosh Hashanah greeting from Liverpool FC.
Liverpool had posted the new year greeting on its Twitter feed, which is followed by 3.24 million people.
It read: "Liverpool FC would like to wish all our Jewish supporters around the world a happy new year. #RoshHashanah."
Premier League footballers should now know all about succahs, fasting and the Days of Awe thanks to a new initiative by the Football Association.

Liverpool Football Club is expected to take a tough line with tweeters who responded to the club's Rosh Hashanah greeting with a torrent of racist messages.
A source at the club told the JC that Liverpool was considering banning anyone convicted of sending the tweets from attending matches at its Anfield stadium.

The club tweeted on Thursday night: "Liverpool FC would like to wish all our Jewish supporters around the world a happy new year. #RoshHashanah."
While the BDS movement tried to take credit for Uefa's decision not to name Jerusalem as one of the 13 host cities for the Euro 2020 tournament, the ruling has a lot more to do with the incompetence of the IFA, Israel's national football association, than political considerations.
Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium made it to the shortlist of 19, but was dropped due to the fact that the bid issued by th
Pro-Israel groups gathered outside the Qatar embassy in London in a bid to challenge its support of terrorist organisations.

Football's European governing body, Uefa, is investigating after an antisemitic banner was displayed by supporters of the Serbian club Partizan Belgrade.
The banner, which was on show throughout Thursday's Europa League match against Tottenham Hotspur in Belgrade, read "Only Jews and Pussies", thought to be a play on the title of the BBC sitcom, "Only Fools and Horses".

"Load testing is absolutely essential. Without AppLoader's thorough testing, it simply would not have been possible to put a key application into production for North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services. AppLoader helped us to identify hardware and software deficiencies prior to implementation. The tool's unique ability to interface directly with our application was crucial, as the project schedule simply couldn't afford the delays associated with developing a wrapper and determining how other load testing solutions could interface with our system."
Valerie Cooper, Project Director, EDS, an HP Company
"After evaluating a few different load testing products, we chose AppLoader for its turnkey service package and ready to use hardware configuration. AppLoader matched the demand we required for stress testing the performance of our Oracle application before moving it to a public cloud.
NRG Global's consultants were able to quickly learn our environment and perform testing independently in a matter of days without any hand holding or project management on our part."
Kas Naderi- CIO, CompuCredit Corporation, Auto Division
"I didn't have much programming experience and I found Apploader to be very intuitive and easy to use. With the help of NRG Global's excellent support, I was always able to simulate scenarios that we needed to test thoroughly.
Thanks again for all your help! If I need to test another application, I'll be sure to call you guys first."

Frederick Saint-Cyr, Los Angeles Metro, Metropolitan Transportation Authority

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The state Assembly on Friday passed a bill banning the use of plastic microbeads in soaps and cosmetics, following actions already being taken by manufacturers and other state legislatures to keep the products out of waterways.
Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble Co. and other manufacturers already are phasing out the exfoliating ingredients, which are considered harmful to the environment in part because they are not biodegradable.
AB1699 by Assemblyman Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica, heads to the Senate after passing on a 45-10 vote. He said the tiny exfoliating beads make their way past filters in municipal water treatment plants and are swallowed by fish.
"My bill ensures that there is a uniform mandate for the use of these harmful microbeads to level the playing field for all industry and help ... protect water for future generations," Bloom said.
Specifically, it would prohibit the sale of such products and establish a $2,500 a day fine for each violation.
The cosmetics industry opposes the bill and won a concession to push back the timeline of the phase-out to 2019. Bloom said other manufacturers have pledged to use natural, biodegradable exfoliating ingredients such as cocoa beans and apricot shells.
"The nation's personal care products companies have a longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and the safety of their products and are demonstrating leadership on this issue," the Personal Care Products Council said in a statement after the bill passed.
Bloom says he is close to a compromise to amend his bill to win manufacturer support.
Similar bills are moving through the legislatures in some other states, including Illinois and New York. Environmentalists have raised concerns about the beads entering the Great Lakes and other bodies of water.
Those bills would phase out the sale of microbead products sooner than AB1699.

Naki'o The Bionic Dog Pawsitive Spokesdog For DisABLED Pets
Naki'o's life started out with very little hope. His and his litter mates were found in the cellar of an abandoned home in the middle of a harsh Nebraska winter. Their mother hadn't survived. Naki'o was stuck, frozen into a puddle. Due to the frostbite, Naki'o lost all of his toes, the tip of his tail, part of his nose and ears. One of the back legs was particularly damaged.
Christie Pace, a veterinarian's assistant, has always had a soft spot in her heart for animals and was looking to adopt a fur baby. When she saw Naki'o's story on PetFinder, she set up an appointment to meet him. She adopted him at 8 weeks. As a four-pound puppy, he could get around on his leg nubs fairly well, but as he grew, Christie knew he was going to need assistance.
They tried various wagons and strollers to help him get out more, but it wasn't until Christie saw a dog in a knee brace at her clinic that she got the idea for prosthetics for Nakio's rear legs. She did some research and contacted Ortho Pets, a Denver company that specializes in pet prosthetics. She raised the money for the first of the artificial limbs, and when the people at Ortho Pets saw how well he was doing, they donated the rest.
"When we saw how good he was doing with his back leg prosthetics and how he was struggling to use his front legs it was very simple to say, 'we gotta keep with him.' He could do much better with all four prosthetics on," said Martin Kaufmann, owner of Ortho Pets.
As seen in the following video, Naki'o is thriving as a bionic dog!
Christie knew Naki'o was special from the beginning, but she didn't realize her dog was the world's first to have four prosthetic legs. She and Naki'o are now sharing their story to inspire others and to promote the adoption and care of disABLED cats and dogs.

The full article plus a video showing Naki'o running and jumping on his prosthetic legs (paws). He is so cute and happy!

"People who really love their dogs are kind and giving people. We are the ones who don't freak out because our dogs gave us a kiss. Or ate off our plate. We don't leave our dogs out in the heat or the cold. And when we lay down at night, our dogs are on the bed, or at least snuggled close by, safe from the dark and dangers that roam in the night. We love all the dogs we have had in the past, and especially the ones we have now."
Fabulous veterinary work for Naki'o bionic paws, Naki'o copes really well , so pleased for him

After a week filled with tragic reports of Australian animals suffering the cruelties of live export, on Saturday caring people in Adelaide made some news to be proud of. A passionate group marched peacefully through the city, telling Australia's political leaders once more in no uncertain terms: no ban, no vote.
Thanks to our friends at Animal Liberation SA and MOP for organising another successful event, and to everyone who attended!
You're setting a high standard, Adelaide. Each time you're called upon to stand side by side for animals, you go above and beyond. Other Australian cities are inspired and proudly continuing the call against cruelty, with upcoming rallies planned in Canberra and Sydney.
And the best news is: you are making a real impact for animals. The live export industry is in decline, thanks in large part to compassionate Australians like you. Now it's up to all of us to keep up the pressure, and keep fighting for those who can't fight for themselves.
Remember to sign up for our SMS alerts, so you can make sure you never miss out on opportunities like this to speak up for animals!

I'm so excited to share this news: we saved Rufus! Just days ago this adorable Beagle puppy was scheduled to be put down, and now he has been reunited with his family.
Thank you so much for signing my petition to Orange County Animal Control -- Rufus was my friend's dog, and was going to be killed until I delivered my petition and more than 180,000 signatures. When the Animal Control staff at the county shelter realized that so many people like you and me wanted to help save Rufus, they responded right away and promised that they wouldn't harm Rufus until the controversy was over.
Our outcry was even picked up by TV reporters, who covered the story and Rufus' safe return back home. Here's a heart-warming picture of their reunion:
Rufus' story has shown me how critical it is for animal lovers like us to step in and protect pets from harm. That's why a 7 year-old Sheltie named Jack needs our help right now: just like Rufus, Jack is a sweet dog that could be put to death unless we help him. The petition to save Jack is taking off on Change.org -- will you sign the petition and help prevent Jack from being euthanized?
Thank you again for helping save Rufus, and for everything that you do.

Red Fox, Canada
Heading to the Canadian Arctic on the shores of the Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada, I had one day in Churchill before we would catch a small plane to the remote cabins on the tundra to photograph polar bears. A friend and I borrowed a local truck and toured around the Churchill area looking at the historic sites and watching for polar bears. As we drove past the massive grain terminal I spotted this hybrid red fox hunting among the piping. He paused, very comfortable with our presence, and posed for me—as interested in us as we were in it
Emerson looks so happy now.
There will be more than 5,000 cases of serious injury and literally millions of incidents in which marine mammals are harassed or harmed. And these numbers come from the Navy itself!
Yet the Navy refuses to put common-sense precautions in place that would protect whales during routine training -- even though taking such steps would in no way compromise our national security. For example, the Navy could avoid key habitats where whales are known to migrate and raise their young.
For today's Daily Action, tell the Navy to protect whales from sonar and explosives tests!

Bold Visions Conservation is YOUR representative. We will fight these departments on your behalf, and we'll fight with every resource available. We will start with the New Mexico Game and Fish Department, and use what we learn to work with groups across America to stop barbaric trapping, once and for all!
Thousands of animals are suffering unthinkable pain and anguish, EVERY DAY. As you read this, hundreds of animals have their foot, shattered and mangled in a foothold trap, or are slowly choking to death in conibear traps.They're frightened beyond hope, and in horrible pain. Their savior will show up in a day or two or three, to murder them, and finally end their anguish.
The people whose job it is to manage wildlife for ALL PEOPLE use their position purely to help that small population of trappers: it's time they heard from the rest of us!

Report: 5 Years After Listing, Polar Bears On Thin Ice
Five years ago this week, polar bears were protected under the Endangered Species Act. It was an epic victory following years of tenacious work by the Center for Biological Diversity. But our new analysis finds that polar bears continue to face a difficult future as global warming worsens, sea ice disappears, and the government apparatus meant to protect these magnificent bears shows itself largely indifferent to their fate.
Our new report On Thin Ice sets out five crucial steps needed to ensure polar bears have a future. These include upgrading the bears' status from "threatened" to "endangered," aggressively cutting greenhouse pollution, reducing short-lived pollutants like methane and black carbon, and protecting Arctic habitat from oil and gas drilling. Scientists predict that, without help, more than two-thirds of the world's polar bears could be gone by 2050, including all polar bears in Alaska.
On Wednesday we launched a new lawsuit to get more protections for these great bears of the North.
Read On Thin Ice, learn more about our lawsuit in our press release and take action at SaveThePolarBears.org.
Celebrate Endangered Species Day -- Share Our Free E-cards
Tomorrow is Endangered Species Day -- and a special one, too, since it's falling on a landmark year for the world's strongest law to protect biodiversity. The Endangered Species Act richly deserves to be toasted on its 40th birthday: Over the past four decades, the Act has repeatedly demonstrated its effectiveness. It's prevented extinction for 99 percent of the species under its care, and an estimated 227 species would likely have gone extinct without it; the Act is a wild success.
But that doesn't mean it's forever safe. Like the species it protects, it has to be shored up. Ever since the Act's passage in 1973, industry-influenced politics have threatened its implementation and attempted to weaken its substance through a death of a thousand cuts. We continue to defend and strengthen this vital law, and Endangered Species Day is the perfect time to recharge our (solar) batteries for the fight.

"There's more there than most of my guests." Hotel Owner Cameron Forbes
I doubt if there is a more authentic and endearing documentary in recent memory than The Whale, the story of young killer whale Luna, separated in 2003 from his pod and spending six years befriending the folks who live in the Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The tension that makes this film more like a drama than a documentary is the dilemma of what to do with this unusually friendly Orca, which experts believe will not end up well because of its affection for humans. Or its need for community, judging from its almost constant desire to be seen, heard, and touched. Watching Luna go nose to nose with humans, letting them stroke its tongue, and virtually singing to them is to understand why even a fish and wildlife pro could violate his own division's ban on interaction.
The opposing forces seem to arise naturally: those, especially natives, who want nature to take its course and those who foresee doom for the sea creature unless means such as giving him to a sea-world-type park are immediately taken. Intellectually the latter, especially the marine biologists, seem to have the better argument, but the former are powerful when they argue the whale should be allowed to do what it wants.
Although most involved are powerless to effect the right solution, the occurrence of communication between humans and animal is carefully noted, an extraordinary example of a bond that seems to be built on both sides' need to understand and communicate with the other.
If you see the film, I dare you to deny that you weren't moved by Luna's playing with humans and uncertain about how to solve his fate. For sure you will not remain unmoved.
Praise to Ryan Reynolds as the perfect narrator not channeling Morgan Freeman. Most honors should go to filmmakers Suzanne Chisolm and Michael Parfit, who stayed with Luna through it all. Their devotion and love make this one of the most memorable documentaries ever.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The Butler is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year, and now we have our first real look at the historical drama, directed by Oscar-winner Lee Daniels.
A trailer for the sprawling epic, chronicling the experience of a White House butler who served in eight administrations, has hit the Internet, and cinephiles are appropriately surprised. The film doesn't bear any of the hallmarks of a Lee Daniels film (controversy, sexuality, foul language) and plays out more like a traditional period epic than an groundbreaking indie.
The Butler stars Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard, Mariah Carey and many others. The film is due in theaters this October.
Check out the trailer below.

Rays obtain OF DeJesus from Nationals
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- From last place to the middle of a pennant race. It's been a fast-moving week for David DeJesus.
The playoff-contending Tampa Bay Rays acquired the veteran outfielder from Washington on Friday, just four days after the Nationals picked him up from the struggling Chicago Cubs.
Washington will receive a player or cash considerations.
Tampa Bay got a versatile player they have coveted for years while continuing to strengthen a roster chasing a postseason berth. The second-place Rays entered Friday night's game against the New York Yankees trailing first-place Boston by one game in the AL East.
The DeJesus deal came on the heels of the Rays reuniting with former No. 1 draft pick Delmon Young, who signed a minor league deal on Wednesday.
"Our biggest focus was on augmenting our depth," executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. "Essentially, we've got a 37-game season, and we're doing everything we can to put together the most talented team we can going down the stretch."
DeJesus flew from Kansas City, where the Nationals were opening a weekend series, to St. Petersburg on Friday. Rays manager Joe Maddon immediately inserted him into the lineup, playing left field and batting seventh.
"That's what I'm here to do -- play baseball," DeJesus said.
The 33-year-old DeJesus was acquired by the Nationals on Monday, and he played in three road games with Washington. In 87 games overall with the Nationals and Cubs, he batted .247 with six homers and 27 RBIs.
DeJesus has also played with Kansas City and Oakland during a career in which he has batted .279 with 86 homers and 513 RBIs in 11 seasons. He has never played on a team that has reached the postseason, so he is thrilled to be joining a contender.
"I went to bed (Thursday night) thinking I'm a Nat. I woke up and I'm not a Nat anymore. It's been crazy," DeJesus said. "It's an opportunity to come here and help out and be in a pennant race. I've been on a lot of losing teams, and this is exciting for me."
Friedman said the left-handed hitting DeJesus likely will play a lot against right-handed pitchers. The Rays believe he is also capable of playing all three outfield positions and is a good baserunner.
"We've had our eyes on him for some time. We tried to acquire him when he was with Kansas City," Friedman said. "He just does a lot of things that we really appreciate and value.
"The fact that we play 37 games in 38 days also factored in. Having as much depth as we possibly could was important, In our minds, this arguably is the deepest roster we've ever had."
DeJesus is appreciative of a chance to "start over, start fresh."
"I started with one of the worst teams, now I'm with one of the best teams in baseball," the outfielder said. "I just want to be here to help out the guys in any way possible, be a veteran leader and just go out there and play hard.
"That's what the Rays expect, and that's what I expect of myself."

Nigella Express
I don't know about you, but my days are so jam-packed with all the have-to's of the daily grind — work, gym, emails, staring at my reflection adoringly in the mirror,* that I barely have enough time to sleep much less eat. Actually, that's not entirely true. I do eat. I just don't eat well. Much to my chagrin, Top Ramen, which I thought would fade away along with my college years, is still a staple; and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that those gloriously delectable Trader Joe's bite-sized brownies, which fellow producer Susan Lund bequeaths to the TOTN staff every so often, have stood in place of dinner on more than one occasion. I eat these things not because I'm cheap, but because they're fast and easy: I just don't have enough time to prepare a scrumptious, healthy feast every night. But I'm always left feeling unsatisfied. So, as part of my New Year's resolution, I've decided to make eating well a top priority. Thankfully, Nigella Lawson, TV personality, best-selling author, and cooking guru extraordinaire, is here to talk to us today about how to impress the palate without all the fuss. Her new book Nigella Express offers 130 quick recipes for those who love to cook, but have little time to do it.

Didn't you have 'Nutrition' as part of your high school gym class (or health studies)?
If you can boil water, you can cook!
(I teach my daughter to cook for herself.)
Nigella Lawson IS pretty, can speak well (and probably CAN cook). But you can too!
First, Ramen noodles are a "side dish"!
Where's the meat? (I mean protein, could be tofu for all I care.)
Some (softly) frozen veggies, five/six minutes in the microwave (Ding!)
But how about balanced nutrition? (hard to tell with pyramids, and 3 squares, pie charts ....) JUST PICK ONE!
Well, Harold, as far as the health classes in high school, schools would rather tell you for the millionth time that you will get STDs from sex than teach you the important health facts.
Much to my dismay, my entire Life Management class was spent learning in detail each STD.
Sex is just one part of life.
The rest of it is eating, sleeping, and managing your time.
But know one will teach you how to do those the right way!
And "ramen is a side dish"?
I've made plenty of ramen recipes involving meets and vegetables.
The bland-ness of the noodles without the flavor packet allow for the creativity of making your own meal!
Ramen is more than just a soup, mind you!
Don't be afraid to experiment!

Exploited for pets: the harvest and trade of amphibians and reptiles from Indonesian New Guinea

Over-exploitation of wildlife is a significant threat to global biodiversity, but addressing the sustainability of harvests can be difficult when trade is conducted illegally. The wildlife trade is driven chiefly by consumer demand, largely in developed nations (but increasingly in Asia), and more species are traded to meet international demand for pets than for any other purpose. We surveyed traders of amphibians and reptiles in the Indonesian provinces of Maluku, West Papua and Papua between September 2010 and April 2011. We recorded 5,370 individuals representing 52 species collected solely for the pet trade. At least 44 % were either fully protected or had not been allocated a harvest quota, making their harvest and trade illegal. Approximately half were listed within the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Trade operates via a complex chain, with hunters receiving little income compared to middlemen and exporters. Examination of Indonesian harvest quotas for amphibians and reptiles suggests limited knowledge of species distributions, with quotas often set for species in provinces where they do not occur. Illegal trade is due, partly, to an inadequate understanding of the species being traded and is facilitated by poor monitoring and enforcement at key trade hubs. As a first step to combatting illegal trade, and to better understand the effects of harvest on wild populations, we recommend the need for increased monitoring and enforcement, improving the knowledge base of species traded and educating consumers about the effects their demand for pets has on these species.

Well after trying out, ircd-hybrid, Unrealircd and inspircd. I could still not do what I need for my irc server.
I need to make a secure channel / server. what I want to do is I want to have it so only users with a specified Vhost are allowed to speak (server wide).
- firstname.lastname@example.com (this user cannot speak in the server)
- email@example.com (This user can speak, preferably a Oper.)
This brings me to my next question. could I just make it so only Oper users can talk server-wide?
Also I can add I am running Centos 5.9 64bit on a CNserver. And I do NOT want to add services (Like anope, hybrserve, or any other)

Boy, AMA Insurance Requirements At Sagamore Sure Did Kill Our "Club", Didn't It?
Hi guys. Been maybe more than a year since I've logged on Rcgroups to touch base with things. Been too busy with metal detecting to really fly any planes for the last year or so. Just wanted to say that judging by the lack of any new threads in about the last two years here is sure does appear that the AMA requirement at Sagamore killed our unofficial club, didn't it?
Some of us warned you guys that AMA insurance was a bit excessive for electric park flyers and yet some of you promoted how much of a good thing it would be. Well, judging by the amount of activity here all I can say is that some of us told you so. Never approach city or government workers with propositions because that will only cause further requirements and restrictions that will kill things. Seen this in metal detecting too. We've tried to warn people that unless a park requires a special permit NEVER approach and ask the city government about permission to metal detect there. All that does is give them a chance to say "no" or require you to carry a permit or something if your lucky. So long as there are no laws specifically outlawing metal detecting I tell people to NEVER ask for any kind of approval from the local authorities.
Sad to see this once strong club die on the vine. I remember days at Sagamore when there must have been 30+ people there waiting to fly their planes. I hope things change and we can all get together again somewhere to fly without government restrictions. Good to talk to you guys again and take care everybody.

I quite enjoy flying out at Warner, lots of nice guys to fly with and this weekend I got to fly Saturday and Sunday and no worries about soccer moms and kids showing up. Electric RC is alive and well, just the location has changed.

i agree with Don. the fact that there isn't anyone on the field or having to wait until some type practice session is finished, is a nice thing.
when i got to Warner, i counted only a handful of guys flying. maybe it's because i got there kinda late. there where a lot of spectators.
Many of the retired guys fly during the week in the morning and at lunch. You'd be surprised at the size of the lunch-time crowd on a good weekday. I think they get their flying in then and then tend to socialize more on the weekends.
I don't miss Sagamore at all. And I live literally 3 minutes from the park. Lack of a real flight line, the baseball field, lack of a runway all made it place I have no desire to fly at.
I joined the Aurora club and LOVE it there. If anyone hasn't visited it, you're missing out. It's the sleeper club in the area. It's NEVER crowded.
About Sagamore, I don't think anyone has taken over the duties to have the "agreement" renewed. So Id' say head out and fly at your own risk and be ready to battle with the early baseball practices.

Startup repaire runs into problems 'Startup Repair offline' - I can see advice online for installing *to* an external drive but not for moving a drive.
I want to do something very similar to

The Amarillo Gorillas got off to a slow start again Friday night, spotting Texas two first-period goals, and dropped their third consecutive Central Hockey League game, 5-3, to the Texas Brahmas before 2,369 fans at the NYTEX Centre in North Richland Hills.
Amarillo (15-34-3) struggled on special teams, allowing two power-play goals and a shorthanded goal in the third period by Brahmas forward Matt Burto at the 10:17 mark that helped put the game away. The Gorillas were 0-for-5 on the power play.
Amarillo center Stuart MacRae continued his hot streak, finishing with a goal and an assist. MacRae has seven points in his past five games.
Gorillas forward Mark Carragher, a former Brahma, pulled Amarillo to within 4-3 at the 8:32 mark of the third period before Amarillo surrendered Burto's shorthanded shot.
Texas, which has already clinched a postseason berth, improved to 37-12-5.
Amarillo plays the third game of a five-game road trip at Odessa at 7:05 tonight.
