2014 FRIENDS OF SCOUTING CAMPAIGN TOOLS FOR LDS UNITS Scouting Prepares Young Men. For Life. Scouting is more than fun and games. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports the purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood. For example, as boys accept leadership positions in their troop, team, or crew, they "Prepare to serve in priesthood callings and fulfill the responsibilities of offices." Even more, they prepare to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and temple ordinances, serve an honorable - full time mission, and become a worthy husband and father. But delivering a quality Scouting program takes money. A family donation of $50.00 provides a Scouting program to a boy.
How is this effort funded? In part by Church members, through Great Salt Lake Council's FRIENDS OF SCOUTING program.
President Monson said it best: "I believe in the power of Scouting to bless and enrich lives for good."

Scouting! Blazing a Trail to Successful Living (poster)
New missionary age makes Scouting more important than ever. The Church needs young men to be better prepared to serve. The Boy Scouts provide young men an opportunity to gain skills, learn leadership and even experience time away from home at camps. All important life lessons that will help them be more self-reliant and independent no matter where the Lord sends them.
When members of the Church contribute to Friends of Scouting they are supporting the camps and programs that help turn troops into an army of young men who are stepping up to serve the Lord like never before.
The Scout motto is "Be Prepared." We need your contribution to make this happen.

No matter what the weather is this coming Sunday, it's National Get Outdoors Day, and Blue Marsh Lake is hosting its first America's Get Outdoors Day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with at least 45 confirmed exhibitors at the Dry Brook Day Use Area next to the swim beach.
"This had been our annual water safety festival," explained Kathy Grim, one of the park rangers at Blue Marsh who is helping to coordinate the event. "This is the first year we changed it to reach both land-based and water-based sports to make people aware of the recreational opportunities not only at Blue Marsh Lake, but throughout the region."
the Army Corps of Engineers, just like Lake Nockamixon, Beltsville Lake and the Francis E. Walter Dam.
The event is so high-profile that Jo-Ellen Darcy, current United States Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) plans to attend. Blue Marsh has had between 1,000 and 1,500 attend the water festival throughout the day in the past and is looking for the same type of attendance or better on Sunday.
"The Corps of Engineers has been working on getting a lot more involved in the Get Outdoors Day and the Let's Move programs, and we were looking to expand our event because it broadens our resource base for some new blood and new spark," Grim said. "It seemed like a natural for us to hop on board. We've doubled the number of participating organizations, so it's going to be a little bit of everything going on."
The personnel at Blue Marsh plan to showcase and show off the wonderful natural world in and around the lake property, which includes hiking and biking trails.
The event kicks off with a hike at 8 a.m. from the Lakeview Pavilion, followed by a fun run from the same venue at 9 a.m., a sensory trail hike at 11 a.m. and a Blue Marsh Lake Sojourn with the Keystone Canoe Club at noon.
A bird walk, geocaching workshop, bike ride, dam tower tour and a walk on the Great Oak Nature Trail will take place in the afternoon.
Fishing, flyfishing, catfishing, geocaching basics, kayaking and paddle boarding, children's activities and health screenings will take place 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The official program begins at 11 a.m. in front of the bleacher area with a welcome address from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, followed by a sailing demonstration from the Blue Marsh Sailing Association. Several programs with dogs, such as retrieving and water rescue, will be included.
This is the fourth National Get Outdoors Day, according to John C. Cave, the park manager at Blue Marsh Lake, and admission to national parks and forests is free on Sunday. The National "GO" Day is held in partnerships with American Recreation Coalitions and the U.S. Forest Service.
Nockamixon State Park and the Lehigh Valley Zoo are also holding programs in conjunction with National "GO" Day.
The Lehigh Valley Zoo's GO activities are on Saturday with a nature hikes at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. as well as different activities designed to get people interacting with nature and learning about wildlife, according to Sheri Peters, the zoo's director of conservation education.
Nockamixon State park is holding a free concert at noon on Sunday featuring Grammy-nominated Steve Pullara at the Marina.
Nockamixon has also scheduled boat tours, family fishing, hiking, biking, kid's crafts, geocache loaners and more. For an entire schedule of the day's events, go to http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/calendar and choose Nockamixon as your facility, or call the Nockamixon State Park Education Center at 215-529-7307.
Lehigh Gap hike and happenings: The Lehigh Gap Nature Center is hosting an evening Whip-poor-will hike 6:15 p.m. on Saturday from the nature center that will be led by Dan Kunkle and Jim Gabovitz. For more information or to register, call the facility at 610-760-8889.
The LGNC is also offering a weeklong Young Ecologists Summer Camp June 25-29 that is limited to 15 campers who have completed grades 5, 6 or 7 this school year.
Campers will experience and explore a variety of nature topics at the day camp, which runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Topics include birds, raptors, butterflies, pond and river ecology, conservation issues and activities such as hiking, building bluebird nest boxes and visiting local ecosystems along the Lehigh River and the Kittatinny Ridge, while learning to work with microscopes, binoculars and water quality testing kids.
The camp costs $50, but students who receive free or reduced lunch in school are eligible for scholarships to pay their fees through the Women's Club of Slatington and the concourse Club of Palmerton. The camp is low-cost because of grants from PPL, Jeras Corp., the Rider Pool Foundation, the Trexler Trust and Horsehead Community Development Fund.
To apply for the camp, contact the Lehigh Gap Nature Center at 610-760-8889 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Love this
By Bevie
from Kamloops, BC
Excellent quality. I ordered one size larger than usual and it fits perfect. The material is great. You can tuck it in or wear it as a coverup. Great with leggings and tights.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Much Better
By Stylish Lady
from New Brunswick
Have written 1 review for this shirt when I ordered the 12 and mentioned I was going to order again in a 14 as the 12 was too tight across the upper bust and shoulders. Received it today and the 14 was a wise choice. Gives me just enough extra room so it is comfortable and looks good.This one is a keeper.

By Roz
from Toronto
This line is not cheap by any means. I always buy 1X but I bought this shirt in 1X and 2X at the reduced price, to make sure it is roomy. First time in my life I purchase 2X, and it didn't help. It is tight around the arms and the chest and I am not extra big in arms and chest, normal 1X lady. Very disappointed as I liked the fabric and the snap buttons and I wanted a black shirt so much. Returned both.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A beautiful blouse but why does it fit so tight around the arms and across the top?

Very comfortable
By SHARON
from EDMONTON
I ordered two a black and a white, wear them under the black & white reversable sweater and over and under all sorts of things. I only wish I would have waited as everything is now on sale and could have saved around $80 but I do love the look.

Trying again
I ordered this shirt on Marla's first visit in the black in a size 12 which would be my normal size in a blouse/shirt. I really liked the shirt. The quality was very good. Fabric was soft and draped well and finishing was well done. I taught sewing for many years so I look at construction and it has to be on a par with how I would do it myself.However, like one of the other reviewers wrote, while the body fit fine, across the shoulders and upper bust and in the upper arm, it was just too snug to look nice so I returned it. Going to try again with a 14. Hopefully it will do the trick. I would recommend, providing you can get the right size.

Great addition to wardrobe
By Peekay
from Toronto, ON
I am very happy with this shirt - the fit (especially the length for covering my behind!) is just fine and the way it falls is very flattering. This is the second item I have purchased from the Marla Wynne collection and I am very pleased and impressed with this line! I can do a lot with this shirt (belt it, tuck it in, and other ways to wear it)and it's nice to have a versatile, fun piece in my wardrobe.

from HAMILTON

Nice material - bad fit!
By KAREN
from DOLLARD DES ORMEAUX
This blouse was such a disappointment! The material is very nice - even the style is nice - but who is your pattern cutter, Marla? I sized up just in case and the result was the body of the blouse being too big (OK - my mistake) but the arms are for someone 2 sizes smaller at least. What's up with the tight upper sleeves and shoulders??? And I mean TIGHT - have never experienced such a discrepancy before. Not at all proportional with the sizing - Sorry, but this one is a dud. Heavier chested women beware!

Have any of you read about how Lamar got to be with Elvis in the first place? He met Elvis (can't remember how far back) and Elvis asked him to come to visit and Lamar over-stayed his welcome and when Elvis asked if it wasn't time for him to leave, he refused, he just plain decided he wanted to stay there. Elvis never could stand up to some of his rights so Elvis did find something for him to do but I don't believe there was ever any closeness between the two of them.
http://i.usatoday.net/life/_photos/2...-overhaulx.jpg "Without a shadow of a doubt, Bob Sillerman is the BEST thing to happen to the Elvis World in a very long time. Even EPE have stated this. During the next ten years we should see a massive boost for the Elvis Legacy."-courtesy, Brian Quinn
Check out my blog on the new upcoming Graceland expansion and redevelopment.
If those PR quotes are from Mark Bego's text, then it seems Fike has hooked up with another hack.
After all these years, and Fike's experience with biographer Alanna Nash ten years ago -- Elvis Aaron Presley adhered to a factual timeline in a most pleasing fashion -- it is a little disappointing. Lamar is insightful, intelligent and hilarious and his experience with Presley will make a great book -- it just seems this collaboration with Bego won't hit the mark.
Fike did bring "Kentucky Rain" to the table in February 1969, for Elvis' American Sound sessions. Unfortunately, he also later gave Elvis crap like "Life" as session fodder a year later.
-> "Kentucky Rain" -- issued on single in early 1970 -- was NOT Elvis' last million-seller.
-> Lamar didn't "run" Elvis' publishing thereafter.
-> The "Rock Hudson is gay" story is a mishmash of a well-known incident in Vegas in the early 1970s which involved Jim Nabors -- not Rock Hudson.
Let's see what the book looks like -- but it doesn't appear to have much promise.
Can I get a source for your insightful info on this particular piece please ?
As far as I know, there isn't a bit of truth in it.
Elvis met Lamar and befriended him, even letting him make cameos in his films, concerts, and also worked the stage and lighting direction for some time on tour during the 1970's ...
Lamar might have suffered being the butt of Elvis' jokes, but that doesn't mean he disliked, or didn't care for Lamar one bit. he kept him around because Elvis wanted him around and Lamar wanted to be around Elvis too.
No I can't back up my post KC because I can't remember which book I read that in so just disbelieve it if you want.
Hudsons family can't do anything about slander. Why do you think nuts like Gail Brewer Girogio get away with saying Elvis is alive, you can't do anything as the person in question is dead.
It was known Hudson was a mans man.
Elvis often slept in the same bed as Billy and some of the others...I belive he also jumped in with Lamar on occasion, especially towards the end.
Don't question the loyalty of fans who listen to the MM....by the looks of it you need to brush up on some Elvis facts before slamming other people.
Myrna Smith was around Elvis as much as the MM Man go check your facts!!!
If you care to elaborate your point I would be happy to discuss it.
I don't take everything Lamar says as Gospel just like no one should take everything they hear about anything Elvis related or not as Gospel.
Yes What Happened was published that day and it was chronicled on Good Morning America on the 16th of August 1977. But Elvis didn't kill himself so that's just outlandish and I suggest if you are to pursue that Elvis may have committed suicide you show some hard facts and not nonsense or fairytales for why he may have.
Your "facts" have been seriously flawed on this thread already from legal issues to knowledge of Elvis sleeping in bed with the guys.
By the way where did you get your info on Elvis asking Lamar to leave cos he overstayed his welcome?
As Elvis seemed pretty happy to have Lamar got to Germany with him.
I often wonder where some of these "tales" about Elvis and what he did come from.
Like when Lamar told Elvis to get his fat *** off the Lisa Marie in 1977 and Elvis looked at him and then laughed and said you have been waiting twenty years to call me that!
Friends joke with eachother it doesent mean they hate eachother!!!

This is the type comment I am always suspicious about which Lamar makes. I just can not hear Lamar saying that to Elvis- because in any footage I've ever seen where Lamar is the butt of Elvis's jokes(especially some of the EOT and TTWII outtakes that have circulated)-I have never seen Lamar make any real effort to "return the fire" so to speak. Lamar is always kidding around but it never seems its at Elvis's expense-especially his weight. I can imagine there were a ton of things Lamar wanted to say to Elvis like this but never did. Then again- maybe it just happened when it was just he and Elvis alone.
Another comment Lamar says he made to Elvis was about his suits getting to tight and being sandwiched into them he supposedly told Elvis something like
- if that suit pops you're gonna spray some people with metal shrapnel.
Elvis may have made fun about his own weight-but I can not imagine he let anyone else do it.
Well we wern't there so it's hard to know. Obviously they wern't going to joke too mcuh with Elvis and especially not at his expense when the cameras were on for TTWII and EOT so they are bad examples.
Only thing is that Billy Smith was present when Lamar said it and he just laughed along.
Makes you wonder....cos Billy has on occasion stepped up and said some of the stuff that's being said isan't true....this time he just laughed along.
I think Elvis was a fairly cool guy and that he took some abuse from his friends as we all do!
He was only human. And hell if he such a tight *** that he woulden't take abuse and only would dish it out then I find it hard to believe that he could be as successful as he was.
Don't believe anything that comes out of Lamar mouth. thats my opinion.
He stayed in his room for several days(supposedly) after he turned 40 after the CBS news reported he was "fat and 40" near his 40th birthday. I'm sure he could take some good natured ribbing-but I think the weight would be one thing he would not "laugh off"
If you notice in the book "Rev. of the MM" they have comments one after another and sometimes Billy does not see eye to eye with what Lamar has to say. His version about events and topics is sometimes differing than Lamar-Elvis and the diaper storys is one-Elvis and his nose bleeds is another where it seems they have differing opinions on the subjects.

The ability to predict the long-term physical function and prognosis of hip fracture patients during the early postoperative period is essential for surgeons and physical therapists as well as for patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to determine whether early functional assessment correlated with and/or predicted long-term function after surgery to treat a displaced femoral neck fracture.
Sixty-two patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for a displaced femoral neck fracture were evaluated prospectively; a minimum follow-up of two years was required. Validated functional assessments, including the Lower Extremity Measure and the Timed Up and Go test, were utilized, and scores were analyzed with respect to patient baseline data.
The functional level of patients decreased significantly after the injury, with the mean Lower Extremity Measure score decreasing from 87.7 to 62.4 and the need for a walking aid increasing from 36% to 54% at two years postoperatively (p < 0.05 for both). The Timed Up and Go test scores at four days and three weeks postoperatively were significantly higher in patients who needed a walking aid at two years compared with independently walking patients (p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the Timed Up and Go test scores revealed that the optimal threshold for predicting the need for a walking aid at two years was fifty-eight seconds at four days postoperatively and twenty-six seconds at three weeks. Also, the need for a walking aid at two years was ninetyfold higher when the Timed Up and Go test score at three weeks postoperatively exceeded the twenty-six seconds threshold.
The Timed Up and Go test was an early clinical indicator of future physical function in patients with a hip fracture treated with hemiarthroplasty. Innovative clinical approaches to anticipate future function will contribute to increasing the efficiency of overall management of this growing set of patients.
Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Outcome during the preoperative and postoperative periods as assessed with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Harris hip score (HHS), Lower Extremity Measure (LEM), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) subscales.

An analysis of over 400 such firms in Africa showed that a mere 13% of them had begun to scale. Now, in Beyond the Pioneer: Getting Inclusive Industries to Scale, our colleagues at Monitor Inclusive Markets share new findings that explain why this is the case, along with recommendations for how these problems can be overcome.

BCAA 6000 from Gaspari Nutrition uses a "leucine heavy", 4:1:1 ratio of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade branched chain amino acids in a formula that provides clinically validated and effective quantities of these critical nutrients in every dose. The branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) got their names due to their unique molecular structure that are different from the other amino acids. All BCAA's are considered "essential amino acids" because your body can't synthesize them from other compounds and they must be obtained through your diet. Bodybuilders and other high level, advanced athletes have known for years that the BCAA's are responsible for helping to increase protein synthesis which can lead to faster recovery time, increased lean muscle mass and increased performance and endurance all around. The addition of advanced, highly bio-available forms of Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin B-12 to the BCAA 6000 complex will also help to enhance your energy levels and endurance helping to further maximize your training while simultaneously enhancing recovery.

Professors Okrent (chair), Tracy (Philosophy and Religious Studies), and Cummiskey; Associate Professor Stark; Instructor Ashwell; Lecturers Seeley and Chessa
The practice of philosophy is a careful, in-depth study of humanity's most basic ideas, presuppositions, and beliefs. Its goal is to understand as clearly as possible one's conception of the world and humanity's place in it, and to see to what extent one's beliefs are justified. Some topics in philosophy include the nature of morality, the justification of law, the possibility of free will, the nature of beauty, the place of mind in a physical world, the nature of perception, the justification of our beliefs, the possibility of knowledge, the social construction of gender, the understanding of the self, the understanding of time and space, the possible existence of god, the nature and possibility of truth, the purpose and proper understanding of language, and the nature of emotions, as well as the point and value of philosophical inquiry. Beginning students can get a sense of the historical development of the current philosophical context by taking either Classical and Medieval Studies/Philosophy 271 (Greek Philosophy) or Philosophy 272 (Philosophy from Descartes to Kant). Students new to philosophy are also encouraged to start out with 200-level courses that focus on particular problems of philosophical interest. Although critical reading, thinking, and writing skills are developed in all philosophy classes, Philosophy 195 (Introduction to Logic) provides a more focused study of proper reasoning that is beneficial to majors and nonmajors alike. The study of philosophy, with its creative interplay of insight and reason, has ancient roots, yet the subject remains in continual ferment. The Bates philosophy curriculum emphasizes both the history of philosophical thought and the striking innovations, insights, and relevance of contemporary philosophy. More information on the philosophy curriculum is available on the Web site (www.bates.edu/PHIL.xml).
Major Requirements. (Note: Students graduating in 2010 may choose to fulfill the old major requirements listed in the 2006–2007 Catalog). Students who major in philosophy are expected to complete eleven courses in the field. Eight of the eleven courses must meet the distribution requirements indicated below. The philosophy faculty has structured these requirements to allow students the flexibility to plan their own programs within the constraints of a broad philosophical education. Philosophy courses offered in the Short Term count toward the eleven required courses. In addition, students may, with departmental approval, fulfill one of the eleven courses with a course from another field. Students arrange their programs in consultation with their departmental advisors. Those considering attending graduate or professional school are encouraged to consult with their advisors in order to design an appropriate course of study.

The department encourages students to design interdisciplinary majors involving philosophy.
Pass/Fail Grading Option. Pass/fail grading may not be elected for courses applied toward the major.
Minor. The minor in philosophy consists of six courses. A coherent program for each student's minor is designed in accordance with program guidelines and in consultation with a member of the philosophy faculty who is chosen or appointed as the student's departmental advisor for the minor. Among the six courses there should be at least four courses related in a coherent group. Examples might include a group of courses relevant to philosophical reflections about the student's major field, or a group of courses on ethical and political questions, or a group of courses on a specific historical period. This group of courses should be designated, in consultation with the departmental advisor, before registration for the third course in the group. The minor may include up to two Short Term courses in philosophy.
Pass/Fail Grading Option. Pass/fail grading may be elected for only one course applied toward the minor.
General Education Information for the Class of 2010. Any one philosophy Short Term course may serve as an option for the fifth humanities course.
PHIL 112. Contemporary Moral Disputes.The course focuses on particular moral issues and the ethical arguments provoked by them. Topics discussed in the course may include abortion and euthanasia, war and nuclear arms, world hunger, and the use of natural resources. Not open to students who have received credit for Philosophy/Religious Studies 212. Not open to students who have received credit for PL/RE 212. Enrollment limited to 30 per section. Normally offered every year. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 195. Introduction to Logic.An investigation of the nature of valid reasoning, coupled with training in the skills of critical thinking. Close attention is paid to the analysis of ordinary arguments. Enrollment limited to 40 per section. Normally offered every year. L. Ashwell. Concentrations
PHIL 211. Philosophy of Science.Science has become our model for what counts as knowledge; the course examines that model and discusses how far its claims are justified in the light of the nature and history of science. Topics for consideration are drawn from the nature of scientific explanation, scientific rationality, progress in science, the nature of scientific theories, and the relations of science to society and to other views of the world. Readings include traditional, contemporary, and feminist work in the philosophy of science. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. M. Okrent. Concentrations | Interdisciplinary Programs.
PHIL 213. Biomedical Ethics.The rapid changes in the biological sciences and medical technology have thoroughly transformed the practice of medicine. The added complexity and power of medicine has in turn revolutionized the responsibilities and duties that accompany the medical professions. This course explores the values and norms governing medical practice; the rights and responsibilities of health care providers and patients; the justification for euthanasia; and the problems of access, allocation, and rationing of health care services. Not open to students who have received credit for First-Year Seminar 362 or Philosophy s26. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. [W1] Normally offered every year. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations | Interdisciplinary Programs.
ES/PL 214. Ethics and Environmental Issues.A study of selected issues in environmental ethics, including questions about population growth, resource consumption, pollution, the responsibilities of corporations, environmental justice, animal rights, biodiversity, and moral concern for the natural world. The course explores debates currently taking place among environmental thinkers regarding our moral obligations to other persons, to future generations, to other animals, and to ecosystems and the Earth itself. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. T. Tracy. Concentrations
PHIL 218. The Constitution of Selves.In Western philosophy, the idea of a self is central. The once dominant view held that selves were atomistic, isolated, literally individuals. Now many theorists regard selves as constituted and maintained through relationships. With this idea as a baseline, this course examines what selves or agents are, the ways in which selves are constituted and sustained, and the role of emotion in the constitution of a self. The course examines the idea of autonomy, especially in light of feminist critiques. And finally, the course explores the possibility of agency in a deterministic, scientific, though not necessarily scientistic worldview. Enrollment limited to 30. S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL 227. Philosophy of Art.An introduction to central issues in contemporary philosophy of art through the lens of artistic works and practice. Students investigate what constitutes a work of art, artistic representation, the nature of aesthetic qualities, and the relevance of artists' intentions to the evaluation of works of art, with close attention to visual, performance, literary, and experimental art forms. Not open to students who have received credit for Art and Visual Culture/Philosophy 226. Not open to students who have received credit for AV/PL 226. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30 per section. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 232. Philosophy of Psychology. The fundamental question philosophers of psychology ask is: Can there be a science of the mind? The major obstacle to an affirmative answer is the nature of consciousness. Thus a significant part of the course focuses on the philosophical problem of consciousness. Emotions, however, also pose problems for the science of the mind, and are also implicated in the nature of consciousness. A second focus of the course is the nature of emotion and its relationship to consciousness. Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy. Not open to students who have received credit for Philosophy s21. Enrollment limited to 30. S. Stark. Concentrations | Interdisciplinary Programs.
PHIL 234. Philosophy of Language.This course is an advanced introduction to contemporary issues in the philosophy of language. Students investigate the natures of reference, meaning, and truth while reading the work of Frege, Wittgenstein, Russell, Kripke, Lewis, Putnam, and others. They address questions such as: What is it for a sign or a bit of language to be meaningful? What is it for words to represent or identify something? What is it for a statement to be truthful? What is a language, and what is it to know a language? How can you believe that Superman flies while believing that Clark Kent doesn't? Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy. Recommended background: Philosophy 195. Enrollment limited to 30. M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 235. Philosophy of Mind.An inquiry into the nature of human mentality that pays special attention to the issues raised by experience and the relation between thought and language. Is mind distinct from body? If not, are mental states identical with brain states, or does the mind relate to the brain as programs relate to computer hardware? What is the connection between linguistic meaning and thought? Readings are drawn from historical and contemporary sources. Recommended background: one course in philosophy. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 40. L. Ashwell. Concentrations | Interdisciplinary Programs.
PHIL 236. Theory of Knowledge.Is knowledge possible, and if so, how? The course investigates how we can know the ordinary things we take ourselves to know. Students are introduced to major philosophical theories concerning when our thoughts about ourselves and the world are rationally justified. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. L. Ashwell. Concentrations
PHIL 245. Metaphysics.This course introduces students to some of the central issues in metaphysics. Possible questions considered include: Which kinds of things exist? What is one saying when one says that something "exists"? What does it mean to say that something causes something else? What is one saying when one says that something might possibly be other than it is? What does it mean to say that something is the same identical thing at one time that it is at another? Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. L. Ashwell. Concentrations
PHIL 256. Moral Philosophy.Is there a difference between right and wrong? Is it merely a matter of custom, convention, preference, or opinion, or is there some other basis for this distinction, something that makes it "objective" rather than "subjective"? How can we tell, in particular cases and in general, what is right and what is wrong? Is there some moral principle or method for deciding particular moral problems? Philosophers discussed include Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Mill, and the Dalai Lama. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30 per section. Normally offered every year. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 257. Moral Luck.This course explores the relationship between luck and morality. It examines the moral and metaphysical problem of free will, determinism, and responsibility, and the related problem of moral luck. It looks at the role friendship plays in the moral life and the ways "relational goods" help to protect us from some of the exigencies of bad luck. It considers Kant's attempt to make morality "safe" from luck and the way Aristotle embraces luck in his moral outlook. It also looks at the nature of evil and the extent to which evil is under our control. Not open to students who have received credit for First-Year Seminar 288 or Philosophy 170. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30 per section. S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL 258. Philosophy of Law.What is law? What is the relationship of law to morality? What is the nature of judicial reasoning? Particular legal issues include the nature and status of liberty rights (the right to privacy including contraception, abortion, and homosexuality), the legitimacy of restrictions on speech and expression (flag burning and racist hate speech), and the justification of the death penalty. Readings include traditional, contemporary, and feminist legal theory; case studies; and court decisions. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. Normally offered every year. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PL/RE 260. Philosophy of Religion.A consideration of major issues that arise in philosophical reflection upon religion. Particular issues are selected from among such topics as the nature of faith, the possibility of justifying religious beliefs, the nature and validity of religious experience, the relation of religion and science, and the problem of evil. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. T. Tracy. Concentrations
PHIL 262. Philosophy and Feminism.Feminist philosophy is an approach to philosophy that takes the experiences, viewpoints, and views of women as primary. One experience of women that is important in a feminist philosophy is the experience of oppression. This course studies the concept and phenomenology of oppression: What is it? How is oppression maintained and perpetuated? What role do men and women play in the oppression of women? How are the different aspects of oppression (oppression on the basis of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or ability) intertwined in the experiences of individuals and groups? The course also focuses on various arenas in which women experience oppression, examining the ways in which gender-based oppression interacts with other forms of oppression, including racism, classism, ageism, abilism, and anti-gay oppression. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. Normally offered every year. S. Stark. Concentrations
CM/PL 271. Greek Philosophy.A study of the basic philosophical ideas underlying Western thought as these are expressed in the writings of the Pre-Socratics, Plato and Aristotle. Greek thought is discussed in its historical and social context, with indications of how important Greek ideas were developed in later centuries. Not open to students who have received credit for Philosophy 271. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. Normally offered every year. S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL 272. Philosophy from Descartes to Kant.The problems of knowledge, reality, and morality are discussed as they developed from the time of the scientific revolution and the birth of modern philosophy until their culmination in Kant. The course considers thinkers from among the classic rationalists (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz) and empiricists (Locke, Berkeley, Hume) as well as Kant. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 30. Normally offered every year. M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 273. Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century.The course follows the development of modern thought from Kant, through the rise and breakup of Hegelianism, to the culmination of nineteenth-century thought in Nietzsche. The impact of science, the relation of the individual and society, and the role of reflection in experience are examined in readings drawn from among Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Feuerbach, Marx, Mill, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard. Recommended background: two courses in philosophy or Philosophy 272. Open to first-year students. M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 274. Phenomenology.A survey of several of the dominant themes in twentieth-century phenomenology. The course is designed to familiarize students with this area through the study of some of the works of Husserl and Heidegger, among others. Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy. M. Okrent. Concentrations
DN/PL 290. Aesthetics and Dance.This course approaches issues of aesthetic theory in terms of dance and human performance. Using some of the pivotal texts that have advanced aesthetic understanding through time, students draw dance into the ongoing dialogue of the arts and their cultural significance, investigating the experience of art, the making of meaning, aesthetic perception, and the curse of beauty. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 12. [W2] C. Dilley. Concentrations
PL/RE 304. The Problem of Evil.The presence of profound suffering and appalling injustice in the world raises some of the deepest questions that religions seek to address. Can the evils we see around us be reconciled with the classical affirmation that the world is created by a just and all-powerful God? This seminar considers the problem of evil as it arises in the theological and philosophical traditions of the West. Readings include Genesis and Job, Holocaust literature and Jewish theological responses, and contemporary writings in philosophy of religion and theology. Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy or religious studies. Not open to students who have received credit for Religious Studies 304. Enrollment limited to 15. T. Tracy. Concentrations
INDS 315. African American Philosophers.This course focuses on how African American philosophers confront and address philosophical problems. Students consider the relationship between the black experience and traditional themes in Western philosophy. Attention is also given to the motivations and context sustaining African American philosophers. Recommended background: African American Studies 100 or 140A or African American Studies/American Cultural Studies 119. Cross-listed in African American studies, American cultural studies, and philosophy. Not open to students who have received credit for Interdisciplinary Studies 165. Enrollment limited to 15. Staff. Interdisciplinary Programs.
PL/RE 316. Nietzsche and Religious Imagination.This seminar develops a comprehensive interpretation of Nietzsche's religious thought and its influences. The course centers on Nietzsche's critique of Christian morality in the mature writings. Part one involves a close reading of On the Genealogy of Morality and The Antichrist. Part two examines the themes of critique and tradition, religion and imagination, and the limits of morality. Prerequisite: one course in philosophy or religious studies. Recommended background: Religious Studies 243. Not open to students who have received credit for Philosophy/Religious Studies 315. Not open to students who have received credit for PL/RE 315. Enrollment limited to 15. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 321. Seminar: Topics in the Contemporary Philosophy of Mind and Language.An examination of recent discussions of topics concerning language, intentionality, and what it is to be a person. Topics vary from year to year. Concentrations
PHIL 321B. Meaning Holism. Meaning holism is the doctrine that "only whole languages or whole theories or whole belief systems really have meanings, so that the meaning of smaller units are merely derivative." Meaning holism characterizes a variety of twentieth-century views regarding mind and language in both the analytic and Continental traditions. This seminar considers meaning holism in W. V. O. Quine and his descendants, Donald Davidson and Daniel Dennett, among others, as well as recent criticism of this position by Jerry Fodor. Enrollment limited to 15. M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 321C. Colors and Sounds.Traditionally, philosophical thought about perception and consciousness has focused primarily on vision—in particular, on color and color experience. Philosophers interested in the nature and content of experience have much to learn through attention to the distinctive features of other sensory modalities and the things we perceive through them. In this seminar, students examine what colors are, what sorts of things are colored, and the relationship between colors and our experiences of them. They then investigate the nature of sounds and of auditory experience, and address the questions associated with developing a philosophical theory of auditory perception. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 211, 232, 234, 235, 236, 245, 272, or 274. Enrollment limited to 15. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 321D. The Rise of Philosophical Analysis.This course explores the history of twentieth-century philosophy by examining the methods and characteristic doctrines of two successive philosophical movements. Students first focus on the early twentieth-century attempt, pioneered by Russell and the early Wittgenstein, to apply the newly developed techniques of formal logic to the analysis of the cognitive significance of our ordinary ways of talking. The course then considers the way in which a later generation of "ordinary language" philosophers, including Ryle, Austin, and the later Wittgenstein, reacted against this attempt. Readings are taken from the works of Russell, G. E. Moore, Wittgenstein, Ayer, Ryle, and Austin. Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy. Recommended background: Philosophy 195 or two courses in philosophy. Enrollment limited to 30. [W2] M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 322. Seminar: Topics in Contemporary European Philosophy.An examination of recent developments in Continental philosophy. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 324. Seminar: Topics in Ethics.This course focuses on important issues in ethics and political theory. Prerequisites(s): Philosophy 256 or 257. Concentrations
PHIL 324A. Seminar: Kantian Ethics.This seminar uses Kant's moral theory as a vehicle to explore some of the central questions and assumptions of Western moral theory. Kantian ethics is typically contrasted with the moral theory of David Hume and its heirs, the utilitarians. Central to this contrast between Kantians and Humeans is an emphasis on the dualisms of reason and passion, duty and sentiment, principle and sympathy, autonomy and heteronomy, right acts and good consequences. In each case, Kant is identified with the first and Hume with the second of the pairs. On the other hand, recent interpretations of Kant's ethics by Marcia Baron, Barbara Herman, Thomas Hill, Christine Korsgaard, and Onora O'Neill present a more unified, and perhaps more compelling, picture of Kantian ethics. This seminar focuses on these new interpretations of Kantian moral theory. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 256 or 257. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 324B. Consequentialism and its Critics.Consequentialism is the view that the morally right act is whatever act produces the most good. The appeal of such a view is obvious; it provides a clear way of judging between moral claims, and it generally requires acts that benefit society. Critics complain that consequentialists can manipulate and even kill individuals to achieve their ends, and may also destroy themselves in the process of promoting the good. This course looks at this contemporary debate and the truth about what we ought morally to do. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 256 or 257. Enrollment limited to 12. D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 324C. Liberty and Equality.Liberty and equality are the central values of contemporary political philosophy. These values, however, seem inevitably to conflict. Unlimited freedom leads to inequalites and remedies for inequalities restrict liberty. This seminar focuses on competing accounts of the proper balance between liberty and equality. In particular, students focus on John Rawls' theory of justice and competing therories of justice, including utilitarian liberalism, Nozick's libertarian theory, communitarian theories, feminist theories, and multicultural approaches. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 256 or 257. Enrollment limited to 15. [W2] D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 324E. Virtue Ethics.Virtue ethics emerged as an important kind of moral theory during the last half of the twentieth century. There are many virtue theories, but they share a focus on the morality of character rather than the morality of individual actions. Many seek an answer to the question, "How shall I live?" rather than, "What should I do?" This course explores both the historical roots of virtue theory found in Aristotle and, according to some scholars, Kant. It also examines several contemporary theories of virtue as well as critics of this approach to moral theory. Prerequisite(s): First-Year Seminar 248 or Philosophy 256. Enrollment limited to 15. [W2] S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL 325. Seminar: Topics in Metaethics.This course examines contemporary theories on the meaning of moral language, the possibility of moral knowledge, the existence of moral facts, the nature of moral arguments, and the relationship between morality and rationality. Philosophers discussed include Moore, Ayer, Stevenson, Hare, Foot, and Mackie. Some background in moral or political theory is recommended. Enrollment limited to 15. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 325B. Moral Particularism.Until recently many moral philosophers have assumed that moral justification proceeds by showing that, for example, an action falls under some more general moral principle. However, the existence and epistemic value of moral generalities have increasingly come to be questioned by a group of contemporary moral philosophers, including Aristotelians, feminists, and some British moral realists. These particularists have advanced the striking metaphysical claim that there are no codifiable moral generalities, as well as the epistemological claim that moral justification need not be parasitic on a supposed metaphysical relationship between justified and justifying properties. This course investigates these claims. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 170 or 256. Enrollment limited to 15. [W2] S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL 350. Seminar on Major Thinkers.The course examines in depth the writings of a major philosopher. Thinkers who may be discussed include Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hume, Marx, Wittgenstein, and Quine. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 351. Kant.This course is an intensive study of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Interpretations by contemporary critics are considered. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 272. [W2] M. Okrent. Concentrations
PHIL 360. Independent Study.Students, in consultation with a faculty advisor, individually design and plan a course of study or research not offered in the curriculum. Course work includes a reflective component, evaluation, and completion of an agreed-upon product. Sponsorship by a faculty member in the program/department, a course prospectus, and permission of the chair are required. Students may register for no more than one independent study per semester. Normally offered every semester. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 365. Special Topics.A course or seminar offered from time to time and reserved for a special topic selected by the department. Concentrations
PHIL 365A. Human Nature.This course examines human nature from philosophical, evolutionary, and cultural perspectives. Students focus on ideals of rationality, the role of the emotions, the nature of free will, the role of culture and biology, and conceptions of human happiness. Recommended background: two philosophy courses. Prerequisite(s): one of the following: Philosophy 150, 256, 271, or 272. Enrollment limited to 15. [W2] D. Cummiskey. Concentrations
PHIL 395. Seminar: Topics in Logic.Students address topics from among: basic metatheory of first-order logic, including soundness and completeness; computability theory and mathematical logic, including Turing machines, the halting problem, and Gödel's incompleteness results; and modal logics and possible worlds semantics. Prerequisite(s): Philosophy 195. Enrollment limited to 15. Staff. Concentrations
PHIL 457. Senior Thesis.Students register for Philosophy 457 in the fall semester and for Philosophy 458 in the winter semester. Majors writing an honors thesis register for both Philosophy 457 and 458. [W3] Normally offered every year. Staff. Concentrations

PHIL s17. The Ethics of Care.Several decades ago, Carol Gilligan introduced the idea that women might speak about morality in a different voice from men. Her important work has inspired and contributed to the development of the ethics of care, an approach to ethics that takes women's moral commitments and orientations seriously. This course presents a careful study of the ethics of care and a critical examination of it. Students read both the historically significant works from which the ethics of care began as well as recent developments of the theory and criticism of it from within feminist circles. [W1] S. Stark. Concentrations
PHIL s21. Science of the Mind. The fundamental question philosophers of psychology ask is: Can there be a science of the mind? The major obstacle to an affirmative answer is the nature of consciousness. Thus a significant part of the course focuses on the philosophical problem of consciousness. Emotions, however, also pose problems for the science of the mind, and are also implicated in the nature of consciousness. A second focus of the course is the nature of emotion and its relationship to consciousness. Prerequisite(s): one course in philosophy.

KINGWOOD?- Buckhannon-Upshur went to war shorthanded Wednesday night against Class AAA, No. 10 Preston, eventually falling 52-27 in a Big 10 Conference contest..
Playing without Kelsey Hinzman and Haley Ware due to illness, coach Tristan Gray pieced together a young unit to play the talented Knights.
"We played hard and never gave up," Gray said. "We used three freshmen and several other younger players, and we gave a strong effort against a very good team. It was a loss, but there were some positives to draw from tonight."
M.J. Braham led Preston (5-1) with 19 points, followed by carly Kelley with 15. The Knights sprinted out to a 13-1 lead after one quarter, and extended that margin to 29-13 at the half.
Jessica Feronti led the Lady bucs with eight points. Megan Wilfong and Alexis McDaniels each posted team highs of eight rebounds.
Buckhannon-Upshur falls to 1-9 with the loss and will travel to Lincoln at 7:30 p.m. on Friday for another league contest.

As you may know, Brad Pitt helped create the Make It Right Foundation, which has the goal of building 150 new homes in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. The area was decimated when the defective walls of the Industrial Canal gave way after Hurricane Katrina blew past, making the destruction part of the worst engineering failure in U.S. history.
No one can fault Brad Pitt for his efforts. But when the first few houses emerged from the ground, eyebrows shot up. What are these things, some people said? These structures were designed by some really famous architects, and you get the feeling the architects were trying to express themselves. That's cool. I like to express myself, as well.
But some of the folks who were to move into these houses complained. According to an architect quoted in a New York Times article, the new owners may have been robbed of that feeling of "home" that they would get from homes in the historical New Orleans styles of creole cottages and shotguns houses. (See some old-school New Orleans homes here.)
So you hate to say anything negative about this Brad Pitt project. Few of us will ever do anything this powerful and meaningful. But as only a dozen or so houses have been built so far, it would not be too late, it seems to me, to change direction and build the rest of the houses in a traditional New Orleans style.
Or am I being a fuddy duddy?
What's your take?

Most women are familiar with skin care and beauty products that help prevent wrinkles, fine lines, cellulite and more. However, many might be less in tune with why certain creams and serums work to keep such imperfections at bay. Learning how skin works may help ladies better understand how products work, and even ways to keep their skin healthy through more organic outlets.
Dr. Aaron Tabor recently listed a few surprising facts about skin and outlined why it's so important people take precautions to protect the body's largest organ.
Botanicals are best According to Tabor, botanicals, or nutrients found in plants, can greatly improve the look of skin thanks to its therapeutic properties. However, not all beauty products that claim to contain botanicals are created equally.
"Botanicals that contain beta-carotene can actually improve skin quality," Tabor told the Huffington Post. "Keep in mind that products that contain botanicals should have a color or hue to them, as botanicals have a natural color. If the product you're using claims to have botanicals in it and it is white in color, you should ditch it. The only way skincare products can be white in color is through chemicals."
WebMD reports you can also get beta-carotene from the foods you eat. Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale and fruits like cantaloupe and apricots are all tasty ways to boost this nutrient.
Face massages hold value Getting a massage is one of the greatest feelings around - helping to ease stress and boost calming triggers in the brain. The same benefits can be felt through face massages, the expert reports. In fact, such massages work to stimulate cells in the skin, which releases collagen and helps maintain elasticity. Losing collagen can result in a sunken in look over time, so finding ways to prevent this is key.
To work the collagen and muscles in your face, trying giving yourself, or having your guy massage your complexion with Bliss products like Bliss Youth As We Know It Moisturize Cream. The cream works to exfoliate, oxygenate and improve cellular production to help you looking as young as you feel.
Let your face breathe If your nightly routine consists of taking off your makeup, brushing your teeth and applying a night cream like the Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream, you might need to switch it up to boost the health of your skin.
Tabor reports closed pores are less absorbent, so washing your face at night and then instantly applying cream can be useless. Instead, try wetting a face cloth and laying it on your face for a few minutes to open the pores. After the allotted time, apply the cream, since it will be able to sink in deeper now.

Denise, Nancy, and Brenda to be desirable. I can understand that Jennifer and Amanda and Brittany might still hold weight for women who have had them on their lists since childhood, but every Brenda I've ever met was born between 1948 and 1968. I'd lump Judith in with that trend
As for Logan, the first Logan I ever met was actually a girl and that was about 15 years ago--she's probably almost 20 now. Not saying I like it, but it's not a brand new phenomenon.
Jazzlyn is truly horrible, thought at least the sound is pleasant enough.

I absolutely could not believe that Coraline ranked at 823! Never expected that. I'm thinking maybe less conventional "ends in -line" names are swerving upward, led by Adeline (239), Evangeline (292) and Emmaline (890)?"Nothing ever fatigues me, but doing what I do not like."

I have liked Aliyah- with that spelling- for years. The double 'a's throw me, and Aliyah is also an accepted spelling. But sadly, the popularity of the name (in 2011, with Name Nerd's combined spelling list it ranked 19, with dozens of kryative spellings like Allyah and Aaleahya) will prevent me form putting it on my list.
Anyone else notice Monroe on the list for girls (at 949)? Although I dislike Monroe on a boy, for the life of me I cannot see it on a girl.
Jael made the list for boys. A lot of -ael names on the rise... A mini -Ayden trend in the next decade? But, back to the point: I still instinctively say Jael as 'jail' instead of yah-ELL, and I bet most Americans will, too.
-I see no reason to point out individual misspellings. But I will point out that some of the names on the girls' side, like Riya (Rhea), Miya (Mia) and Kaiya (Kaia) are actually legit Japanese names... But I'm not entirely sure if the parents know that (as in the case that Raiden should be pronounced Rye-den) or if they think it's just a 'yunike' way to spell Mia or Riya, or even pronouncing it like Maya or Rye-uh.~lucy reine~~ celestine eira ~ mary simona ~ elizabeth echo "ellie" ~ eleanor heaven "lena" ~ vivienne ailsa ~ felicity emma "fay" ~ catherine aiko "rin" ~ elsa verity ~~ jasper red ~ evander lachlan 'evan'~ kai nicholas ~ ezra link ~ avery thomas ~ michael satoshi "mischa" ~ finn jeremias ~ ezekiel hayden ~ alexander rowan "sacha" ~

Our new Education pages are now available in beta. Take a look and let us know what you think.
What was school like 100 years ago?
Life at school in the Edwardian era was very different to how it is now. These photographs can tell us a lot about how children were taught at the beginning of this century. These children were in fact quite lucky, as they were at school and not working. A generation earlier, in the 1860s, one third of children in England and Wales did not attend school at all and right up until 1881 children were not required to go.
Only in the 20th century were young children no longer regularly expected to work alongside adults. By 1918 school attendance was not only compulsory but the school leaving age was raised from 12 to 14 years old.
Edwardian schools were similar in a lot of ways to modern ones. Classes were taken in the 'three R's' (reading, writing and arithmetic) and there were also physical education lessons ('drill'). Girls were generally taught sewing and needlework.
In addition to their normal lessons, young people also usually attended Sunday School for religious education.

Unix and Linux differences
Asked by DebiHopkins
Posted Jul 08 2011 06:10 AM
11166 Views
My company is converting over from Unix operating system (running on HP) to a Linux under GNU. We are running korn shell now, moving over to bash.
I have been in an HP-UX environment for 15 years and am quite proficient in scripting.
My question is would I benefit from buying a Linux handbook/nut shell book?
I love the O'Reilly books and am the owner of several.
I still refer to my "Unix in a Nutshell" and hardly ever lend it out to anyone as it is my 'bible'!
Just wasn't sure if there a great difference.
Thanks for your help!

If you have been working with HPUX for 15 years your struggle will not be with what to do on the system, but more of how to do it. In many cases it will be similar commands but with different parameters. One area that you will need to focus on is installation and patching processes since they will be different.
If you are moving from Korn to Bash just pick up the O'Reilly Learning Bash and get the rest from the web. If I were you, I would seriously consider taking the opportunity to migrate your heavy scripts/mini aps to Perl. This will position to take/use those scripts on many platforms. You need to know and use Bash but I think defaulting to Perl will work out better in the long run.
Another book that may be of assistance, and it's inexpensive, is the O'Reilly Linux Pocket Guide. Of course there are numerous O'Reilly Perl books, but there is one specifically for System Administration. That book along with the Cookbook will go a long way.

Hi, Debi. I cannot speak for others, but I can tell of what I have seen. In transferring scripts from HPUX to Linux, I have observed that most scripts written under the Bourne shell (the default sh shell under HPUX) will run OK without change under korn or bash as far as the basic script mechanics go. In other words, environment variables work about the same, "while" loops work about the same, etc. That is because the functionality supplied by the bash shell is largely a superset of the functionality of korn and sh.
The rubbing points you will most likely encounter will be differences in non-shell-based commands between HPUX and Linux. These differences will be most apparent in the commands involved in software maintenance and in host hardware configuration and monitoring.
The basic Unix stuff like awk, sed, and grep will work much the same because in most cases of differences between HPUX and Linux, the awk/sed/grep stuff under Linux will be mostly supersets of the corresponding commands under HPUX. Consequently, going from HPUX to Linux can be considerably easier than going from Linux to HPUX as far as script functionality goes.
To answer your question, OReilly's bash shell book would be a good thing to pick up. And if they carry a book on the flavor of Linux you are moving to, that would be a good investment as well. Their Linux in a Nutshell book would be another excellent book to consider. I hope this helps.

My company is also gradually putting more emphasis on linux and I haven't found much resources describing differences between the unix flavours, on top of the issue that your linux distribution version might be different than others (there are dozens).
I'll give you two tips: bdf works in HP, not in linux, and you have to watch out for hardcoded mentions of executables. Many linux 'core' executables are found in /bin as opposed to the other locations /usr /opt /sbin etc...

The Korn shell is available for Linux. If you are running a Debian based distro, such as Ubuuntu, Mint, Debian, etc. you simply install the ksh package. You would install it from the command line like so: $ sudo apt-get install ksh Simple as that.
For Red Hat, SuSE and other distros using RPM, there are a number of rpm packages for ksh, each for a different ksh version; they usually have the ksh version name contained in the rpm package name.
I would install ksh on your new Linux machine and start with that until you insure the scripts will run with some other shell you may want to use (such as bash).

While I understand what Adrien is saying here, I don't agree actually doing it..you are changing platforms and will already experience some level of change. Take this opportunity, it doesn't come often, to go with a shell you can expect on any current/modern *nix box. I'm not saying ksh, bsh, zsh, or any other shell is better than the other. I'm saying if you are given a new system you can expect bsh to be there.
For me it's like forcing everyone one I work with to know vi. Yes emacs and other editors are just fine but I know Vi will be on whatever box I go to. So my vote still stands. Migrate to bash and use Perl as much as possible.

My suggestion was to stick with Korn for the interim, while modifying and testing the scripts for BASH, unless she has the luxury of completely testing them under BASH before migrating to the new servers. The least painful method is to gradually convert and test each script to BASH, especially if a large number of scripts are present.

I rant about US Airways' lewd tweet and why the employee responsible should be fired despite the mistake, how a man posing as a town's mayor on Twitter shows our rampant political unawareness, and why the venture funding of a beauty company is purely spin to deflect sexist claims in the tech industry.
In addition, I explain how YouTube's attempt to promote its homegrown stars as celebrities is misguided, why using a brand's coupon will never prohibit a customer from seeking legal recourse, how people always believe 'natural' methods are better compared to technological solutions, and why a new attention disorder is yet another way for parents to absolve the notion that their child is just stupid.

:-/ – We went to there for a celebration with-a group of us. I was expecting to be there, and get a phenomenal meal and dining experience. However, the evening was a little disappointing. The food, service and ambiance all were just fine, but when you out for a night, you should expect more than just ok, I only satisfied, my group were not. The was food good, the service and atmosphere were nice, but I can't really say wow, based on this visit? the value really was not there for the amount of $$$$ we spent, I'll check it out again but not with a group, sorry!
Absolutely Terrible!!! – Please don't waste your time or money. I've patronized the Capital Grille for the past 10 years, and I have never seen such a well-founded destination restaurant succumb to bad management practices and corporate ideology than this operation! Walk right on by and dine at Manny's!
LOBSTER MACARONI N CHEESE – I had the filet oscar adn loster mac n cheese and I thought I died adn gone to heaven it was that good!!!!!!
Next you're there, order the lobster mac n cheese for one of your sides. You will be pleased!
Best Bartenders Ever!! – I have been to the Capital Grille now five times. Everytime I sit at the bar, Christina, the bartender remembers my name, has my drink ready and goes above and beyond to make my dinner exceptional. I love the Delmonico and the Sliced Filet is out of this world! They were out of my favorite vodka one time and Christina proceeded to go to another restaurant to find some for me. She truly cares about her guests and their dining experience. I also met Emily who was without a doubt, amazing as well. I would recommend the Capital Grille for any occasion and always sit in the bar.
Oscar or Delmonico? – I shouldnt say I was surprised because by how good my meal was but I have to say that was thE best steak ive ever had in my life! Dave was beyond knowledgable and I felt welcome from the second I walked through the doors.
Fabulous place to dine! – My husband took me here for our one year wedding anniversary. I knew this place was classy, but it exceded my expectations. From the friendly front desk to the wait staff and our own personal watier, it was first class all the way. They even took our picture and even had it printed and "framed" and all of the staff signed a Happy Anniversary card that was waiting at our table for us. We started off with a free champagne toast and ended our meal with a free dessert to boot! Of course, we both ordered steaks for our meals, which were cooked perfectly and very tender. We will definitely be going back and soon! By far our very best dining experience ever.
hard to beat meals – I have eaten at the capital grille twice, and of the five best meals I've ever eaten in my life those two meals are in the top five. The service was unbeatable and Matthew was very informative and entertaining. I like their steaks and their desserts are to die for. The prices are up there but I would recommend this place for a special occasion date. It is very loud so I would not call it romantic. I also liked the decor and location is close to the theaters.
Great steak place – My boyfriend took me here after I got a new job. It was a great location, offered great customer service and the food was super good. He made reservations and we had a pretty private booth. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dinner or lunch and is willing to pay a little more for the better customer service.
Upscale and FANTASTIC! – I will be honest in my review- the night I am reviewing was in December 2006. I do realize that things can change in such a long period of time- so please remember that while reading.
We went to The Capital Grille for my birthday celebration last year; we walked in the door to a very warm wonderful greeting by the staff. Once we arrived at our table there was a card sitting there with my name on it- it was a very short and simple "Happy Birthday" signed by the staff working that night. What a great first impression of this place!
We were treated with the utmost respect and had wonderful service throughout our entire visit. Our food was cooked to perfection and full of flavor! At a place the this you can't expect to leave without paying top prices; the food is more than worth it!
I highly recommend The Capital Grille to anyone who is looking for a nice dinner in a fun city. It was a full house, which is always a good thing! The atmosphere was not too loud and not too quite- perfect for a nice meal with some people that I love with all my heart!
3 Times a Lady – I rarely do this..............but 3 times in a row (in the past 3 months) I've had overcooked filet. Ordered Med. Rare and recieve Med Well to Well. I'm really not that picky..........ok I am when it comes to my filet. Really though..............i'd settle for Medium, but not well done when I order it Med. Rare. At least they had the manager talk to me one of the three times this happened. Other than that, the servers were polished and well versed. The location is great and it is a nice atmosphere, but come on..............3 times of screwing up what they should do best???????????? Oh yeah and the dessert was good but not beyond that. Forgive me but after 3 times i'd say check out another place because there are so many good spots in our area.

Best Muscle Building Protein
It is really surprising how much misinformation is given about muscle building proteins today.
Many people who are just starting have no idea that by increasing their proteins with every meal will help with their muscle growth. There has been research done that shows creatine will help to gain strength and mass. What cannot be denied is that unless your body receives the correct nourishment there will be no muscle gain. Eating high protein foods will give the body the amino acids required. Without protein your muscles will not grow.
Many so called experts disagree about how much protein you need to eat to develop a large muscle mass. Some of the nutritionists recommend that the protein calories should only be around 25% of your daily food consumption. This is contrary to what is recommended in most bodybuilding books. They recommend around 1-1.5 grams for each body weight pound.
Ignore all the talk about the latest muscle building proteins on the market. The best way to build your muscles is to eat a high protein diet. Of course you will still need to purchase some supplements such as fish oils, whey protein powder, and vitamins. Taking these supplements along with your high protein diet will give you the daily nutrition you need and will keep you healthy.
The reason for using whey protein powder is that it eliminates the need for you to prepare food six times per day. Also they are fast digesting and will hit your bloodstream in 30 minutes. If you do not have the time for a complete meal, whey protein powder is an excellent substitute .
If you are going to purchase a muscle building protein supplement, make sure that you are buying a quality product. There are many supplements on the market that do not lie up to their claims. Indeed some of them are more likely to do you more harm than good. Never forget that when you are looking to build your muscle mass, that nutrition is the only way to do it. All the training in the world will not help if your diet is not correct.
One other thing you should consider. A good night sleep is very important, at least eight hours every night. Muscles only grow when you are resting.
