text: Hello everyone, I'm rebuilding my Linux box after first building it 2.5 years ago (LFS: SVN-20060531) (I came across some pre-compiled software than needed a newer glibc). I've been a long time Linux user -- my first install was in 1992 (Slackware (oh, all of those 3.5" floppies!) kernel 0.99 pl 12orsomething) -- even contributed a bit to the kernel code back then (the slip driver). Have used other distros since: Debian, Mandrake, Suse -- but found LFS/BLFS a couple of years ago and am quite satisfied. Started/finished my new LFS 6.4 build about a month ago and have since been installing BLFS components. It's not a "pure" 6.3/SVN BLFS build (i.e. adhering the the package revisions) -- I've grabbed even newer revisions here and there -- but using the basic BLFS instructions for install. The use of my box is for a home server/workstation. Enough of an intro, now onto my questions: - VNC looks for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Xvnc Enterprise Edition E4.4.3 (r16583) - built Oct 14 2008 01:08:32 Copyright (C) 2002-2008 RealVNC Ltd.

Finally, the hacker tried to crack passwords for other machinesâmachines in just about every department on campus. Curtis McNay, a system administrator who manages some of the universityâs computing systems, saw the whole thing happen. After the break-in, McNay told the Washington Post that he knew from data streaming across his monitor that a break-in was going down. By the time the hack was halted, however, it was too late. Information surely had been copied; privacy most certainly had been breached. And after a week of investigating the scope and nature of the electronic break-in, university officials reluctantly sent an e-mail warning 32,000 students, faculty, and staff members that they were all vulnerable to identity theft or credit card fraud.

Samuel Ray Graves (born December 31, 1918) is a former American college and professional football player and former college football coach. He is a native of Tennessee and an alumnus of the University of Tennessee, where he played college football. Graves is best known as the former head coach of the Florida Gators football team that represents the University of Florida.
Early life and education[edit]
Graves was born in Knoxville, Tennessee on December 31, 1918.[1] He was the son of a Methodist minister, and he realized that his best (and perhaps only) opportunity to attend college would be to earn an athletic scholarship.[1] Tennessee Wesleyan College, a small Methodist-affiliated college located in Athens, Tennessee, recognized his athletic talent and offered him a full scholarship.[1] Coach Robert Neyland of the University of Tennessee recognized his stand-out play and arranged for Graves to transfer to Tennessee.[1] After he graduated from Tennessee in 1942, he attempted to volunteer for the U.S. Navy following the United States' entry into World War II, but he was rejected when he failed his physical because he was deaf in one ear.[2] He would have been accepted only in a grave emergency.[3]
Playing career[edit]
Graves played college football for one year at Tennessee Wesleyan College,[1] then two years at the University of Tennessee, where he was the team captain during his senior year in 1941.[4] He replaced Norbert Ackerman as the starting center in 1941.[5] During his time as a Volunteer, he played in the Sugar Bowl following his junior season, and he earned third-team All-Southeastern Conference honors following his senior season.[6]
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Graves in the ninth round (seventy-third pick overall) in the 1942 NFL Draft,[7] and he played for the Eagles for three seasons, including the temporary 1943 merger of the Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers known as the "Steagles."[4][8] The Steagles were formed when the National Football League had to limit rosters and cut back to eight teams because of manpower shortages during World War II.[4] In three NFL seasons, Graves played in 28 games, starting in 15 of them.[8]
Coaching career[edit]
Graves was retained as a volunteer coach at the University of Tennessee in 1943,[9] but Tennessee did not field a football team that season due to World War II. Graves was hired as an assistant coach for the Volunteers in 1944,[10][11] and resigned as the offensive line coach following the 1945 season to play for the Eagles again.[12] Following his playing career, Graves was the defensive coach at Georgia Tech under head coach Bobby Dodd.[13] Under Dodd, Graves and offensive coach Frank Broyles, the Yellow Jackets won Southeastern Conference championships in 1951 and 1952, the 1951 Orange Bowl, the 1952 Sugar Bowl and the 1952 national championship.[14] Graves is widely credited with creating what was then known as the "monster defense"—the modern alignment of the free safety and strong safety in the defensive backfield.[15]
In 1960 Graves was hired as head football coach of the University of Florida, replacing fellow Tennessee alumnus Bob Woodruff. He served as the Gators' head coach for ten years from 1960 to 1969. Graves led Florida to five bowl appearances and he coached several outstanding players, including quarterback and Heisman Trophy recipient Steve Spurrier (1964–1966), running back and future NFL first-round draft pick Larry Smith (1966–1968)[16] and defensive end and NFL Hall of Fame inductee Jack Youngblood (1968–1970).
Among the many highlights of the Graves era was the 1963 Gators' 10–6 upset victory over coach Bear Bryant's 1963 Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa.[17] In one of the more interesting footnotes to his football legacy, Graves allowed Dr. Robert Cade, a professor in the University of Florida College of Medicine, to conduct dehydration analysis and rehydration experiments using team members which led to the formulation of Gatorade in 1965.[18] After seeing the formula's potential in an intrasquad scrimmage, Graves asked Cade to make enough for the entire team for the next game against Louisiana State; the LSU Tigers wilted in the 102-degree game-day heat, and the Gators came from behind to win in the second half.[18] He told his friend Kansas City Chiefs head coach Hank Stram of the drink's effectiveness, a move that eventually led to Gatorade becoming the official sports drink of the NFL.
Graves' saved the best for last. His 1969 Gators posted a 9–1–1 record, upset the Tennessee Volunteers, 14–13, in the Gator Bowl,[19] and were ranked fourteenth in the final AP Poll.[20] After achieving an all-time win-loss record at Florida of 70–31–4 (.686)[21][22] and four final top-twenty poll rankings (1960, 1965, 1966, 1969), Graves stepped down to make room for former Gators quarterback Doug Dickey to return to his alma mater as the new head coach of the 1970 Gators.[23] Graves remained the winningest coach in Gators football history until his former quarterback, Steve Spurrier, surpassed him in 1996.[24]
Graves' Gators are remembered for their remarkable academic success as much as their athletic success. Ninety-three percent of his football players graduated, and more than half of the graduates ultimately earned law or medical degrees.[23] Graves' Silver Sixties Gators remain a close-knit group, and have held an annual reunion with their coach every year since 1970.[23]
After resigning as Florida's head football coach, Graves remained the university's athletic director until 1979, a position he had also held since becoming the football coach in 1960.[25] His remaining tenure as athletic director was notable for the University of Florida's embrace of the challenges and opportunities in women's college sports presented by Title IX.[26] Under Graves' guidance, Florida's women's sports program began its climb to become one of the top ten women's programs in Division I sports. After he retired as athletic director in 1979, he worked for another year as a special assistant for fund raising in the office of the university president.[25]
Graves was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1972,[27] the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame in 1981,[28][29] the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1990,[30] and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.[31] When Steve Spurrier returned to Gainesville as the Gators' head coach in 1990, he created the team's new most valuable player award, the Ray Graves Trophy, with the annual recipients selected by the players themselves.[25] The Athletic Office at the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium was named in honor of Graves during the 2005 Gator Football season.
Steagles 60th anniversary[edit]
On August 17, 2003, the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of the Steagles in pregame and halftime ceremonies for the 2003 season opener at Heinz Field. The Steelers recreated the era in their "Turn Back the Clock" ceremonies, including broadcasting in black and white on the Jumbotron and airing World War II footage during the national anthem. All live entertainment was done to reflect the 1940s.
Graves was on-hand as six of the nine surviving members of that Steagles team were honored by the Steelers during halftime.[32] During the festivities, the Steelers gave each of the six members a replica Steagles jersey to wear. The jersey worn by Graves was returned to the team after the festivities. It was sold by the Steelers a month later, to Bill Ponko, a private collector of sports memorabilia to benefit a local charity.
Later life[edit]
After resigning as the University of Florida's athletic director in 1980, Graves became vice president of Steinbrenner Enterprises in Tampa, Florida.[33] He retired in 1989, and continues to live in Tampa with his wife, Opal.

New "Soft Dial Tone" Policy May Require E-9-1-1 Service on Most Disconnected Telephone Lines
August 6, 2007
Calling it an "important new public safety and personal security service for Maine telephone users", the Maine Office of Public Advocate today praised a new law recently enacted by the Maine Legislature that should expand access to E-9-1-1 services throughout Maine. "Enhanced 9-1-1 access-only service" means the provision of E-9-1-1 access to a residential telephone customer's premises when telephone service to the premises has been otherwise suspended or disconnected. When implemented by the Maine Public Utilities Commission, the new law should make it possible for people to call E-9-1-1 to report an emergency situation even from a disconnected telephone.
The Maine Public Advocate, working with the sponsor of LD 1383, Representative Herb Adams, and Maine's telephone companies, negotiated the terms of the so-called "soft dial tone" legislation that was passed by the Maine Legislature and signed by Governor John E. Baldacci near the end of the recently-concluded legislative session.
"Soft Dial Tone" is the common name for a telephone connection that is limited to E-9-1-1 emergency service. Under the new law, the Public Utilities Commission will determine the detailed requirements that will apply to Maine's telephone companies governing the provision of this new free service. Wayne Jortner, senior counsel in the Office of Public Advocate, said, "Our office will be urging the PUC to provide the maximum availability of soft dial tone so that emergency E-9-1-1 service will be available whenever emergency service is needed inside a residence with a telephone. If soft dial tone saves even one life a year, it will have proved its worth."
The equivalent of soft dial tone already exists in the wireless telephone industry as a result of requirements by the Federal Communications Commission. Any cell phone with a charged battery and in the presence of wireless coverage should be capable of connecting to E-9-1-1, even if the phone is not associated with any service plan or prepaid minutes. The new legislation will create that same additional safety net for regular telephone customers.
The Public Utilities Commission's rulemaking is expected to get underway in the coming months. All interested persons will have an opportunity to file comments in the course of that process. For further information, persons may contact the Public Advocate Office in Hallowell.

Twenty-one years old with only minutes to live.
The girl on the stretcher shakes at the heart of a storm of EMTs racing the gurney, a string of distressed relations running after. Certain death, a flash infection, quickly now to the quarantine room; there'll be more than one life at stake when hell breaks loose.
Halls, corners, a twirl through bleak doors and into a place with one door, no windows, and a bed for dying on. The young woman is lifted onto the plastic mattress. Her eyes are frantic, fixed on something horribly distant, her mouth clenches and gapes, her fingers shake themselves to blurs. Baby, baby, oh my baby. The dad is at her head, big hands clench the steel bedframe like the brink of hell, tears trickle openly into his beard as he struggles to speak to his dying child, a million minutes wouldn't be enough to say what he needs to and the doctor is saying there may be less than ten.
Three rooms distant the chest of the second victim heaves.
The mom is as shaken as the dad; she stands next to her husband, hands moving from her mouth to her eyes to her chest to one another. Three siblings watch big sister sweat and moan, the hands that stoked the campfire this morning are turning purple, the eyes that guided their raft are frosting over, the voice that screamed when fangs pierced her in the weeds is choked by the yellowy fluid that she coughs constantly like a fountain statue, pooling around her head, soaking her long black hair.
Three rooms distant the second victim has stopped breathing.
Syringes are plunged into her flesh, to ease the pain, the doctor says. Can't you do anything, the dad begs. No, the lubii virus has never been contained. Damn it, the mom repeats through clenched teeth, damn it, again and again. Safe to touch her? she croaks. We'll tell you when it's time, they say. Half a dozen hands extend, knuckles brush her cheek, fingers fall on her wrists, press her chest, stroke her hair. The stricken's eyes swivel sideways as through the vague veil of the dying she winces at her family and in that moment it almost kills them, in that moment they'd go with her if they could.
It was all too sudden.
Three rooms away what's left of the second victim
begins to rise.
The doctor warily watches the girl, hair tangled, still dressed in a cherry-red bathing suit and faux-jade ankle bracelet. Years of experience have taught him how not to watch the family. Now, he says softly, and the assistants take shoulders and hands and arms and lead the kids away. The parents' faces are the summation of paternal misery as they beg the doctors and the nurses and the powers for only a minute more, oh good god, she's our child, she's our child. The mom howls like an animal as she's pulled from the bedside, the dad causes a scuffle, he cries out to his eldest one last time, then the doors shut to the sound of silence and the tortured breathing of the young woman.
The doctors encircle the bed of the doomed. One opens a plastic divided container and raises a syringe to the light as one of the known Network's most deadly viruses courses through the veins below him, greedily devouring tissue like brushfire, preparing the body for the final phase of infection, to become a mindless reproduction of the vermin which passed on the symbiotic virus only hours before. More liquid bubbles up her tortured throat and over her teeth, several of which show signs of dropping from her mouth. The tell-tale mark of the finale of the hated lubii curse is coming on fast, the skin which has been lightening is now a thick milky film marbled with dark bloated veins and below the taunt skin of her abdomen dark clotted shapes twist and contort as her organs liquefy into colorless slime. Prepare the injection, he orders the one, and all others keep your distance. The creatures resulting from these cases immediately begin their own hunt for victims, they-
Several doctors enter the room to the turning of eyes. He changed faster than we expected, they say, don't wait any longer, it almost got a snap at Bill. Right. The doctor takes the syringe into his hand. The girl is deathly still, her entire body is distorted and translucent, the seams of the mattress are visible though her arms and legs. The needle sparkles.
Slowly, like the dripping of lava, the mouth gapes open
and draws breath. The doctor's hand quivers.
Color is flooding back, the face is elongating, the limbs are pushing off the bed. He shouts to his shocked assistants to get sedatives, get anesthetic, get back. What's happening, some ask, give her the shot, some shout. No! the doctor cries as the amorphous mass heaves from the bed to the floor, no, no, let her be, it's not happening right, don't you recognize what's happening-- it's not over!
Security joins the medics around the edge of the room as the obscene mess at its center kicks like a child in the womb. A limb breaches the mass, a curled talon straining towards electric light before snapping downwards, clawing frantically at the slime which only melts over it again and again until it punches out once more joined by a second limb. Go on, the doctor urges under his breath, go on, go on. The slime is pulling together now, a distinct shape is congealing, four limbs, an animal head, and a long tail lashes along the ground. Where an attractive young woman had been fifteen minutes ago there was now a dozen feet of badly mutated, half-formed former human collapsed on the tiles, forelimbs slipping pathetically at the ground and muzzle still drooling thick liquid.
The gathered remain in the shocked stillness of those witnessing a miracle. The doctor moves forward. He kneels some feet from the monster and looks into large and pearly white eyes. And we'd considered it myth only five years ago, he thinks, and in front of us today we have a second case. Slowly, the new glatni's eyes roll upwards and her head drops gently to the floor. A miracle. Her life will never be the same, she will never be the same, when she wakes up this will be one hell of a shocker, but she will, in fact, wake up.
A miracle.
By now some of the assistants have taken off running. Let me explain to the family, he says, pulling off his gloves as he steps to the door, get in contact with Drs. Velázquez and Destastiel immediately. And Montrey? one ventures. The others pause a moment to listen. The doctors first, he says slowly, looking once more over what he couldn't quite bring himself to call 'the girl' any longer, then the good senator, his own experience will be invaluable. If we here can just get her to her feet again he may in time come to help her find them.
An hour later Joanna Velázquez and Thomas Destastiel were presiding over the soundly-unconscious glatni's care and Senator Cornelius C. Montrey, just hours formerly the only known living person with glatnism, quietly hung up his office phone, staring vaguely ahead for several moments before dismissing his staff and walking out the door, long robes sweeping the marble behind him.
"Ah, Thomas, hello!"
"Hello, Cornelius."
"To what do I owe your call?"
"There was a lubii attack this morning outside Luck, if you hadn't already heard."
"In Luck? No, I hadn't."
"Yes, two victims, a fisherman and a young student, I am informed."
"Mercy on their souls, then. Never heard of a lubii being reported in Thurmun'dhl, it's such a developed area."
"It is disconcerting, yes. Needless to say the area has been evacuated."
"Caught the damned thing yet?"
"Afraid not. But there is an equally pressing matter at hand, my friend."
"There is
a survivor."
"Good news."
"No, Cornelius. I mean there is a surviving victim. As of some hours ago you became no longer the only member of your species."
"Her name is Nicole Dunn, she is in the room across the hall from myself as I speak, still a somewhat unformed muddle but passing steadily though the unconscious transformative period without a hitch. Dr. Velázquez is with us as well, she says the process has been remarkably similar to what she recalls of her experience with your good self. I of course was not present, but through my work with you I recognize familiar elements in her evolution already, although she does not much seem to resemble the glatnai we've come to know in you."
"There's another
"Cornelius, please."
"Well I just, let me
One-in-a-million, you said!"
"Make that two. If it's of any significance, it did happen near Luck."
"And she
How long ago?"
"Infected about four o' clock this afternoon then ferried down the river- they were boating- before speeding to Draney Hospital, the young lady in terrible fever the entirety. By time they arrived there was little to do but quarantine and euthanize. However, of course."
"And she's still
"Yes. Joanna tells me you yourself spent the better part of two days-"
"In a miserable, half-conscious state of delirium-"
"Which is why she's been carefully sedated."
"If they'd only been as generous with me
"It has been five years since your own misadventure and technologies have improved, not to mention Dr. Velázquez was wisely hesitant to pump a medically unmapped creature full of what may have been tantamount to poison. Thanks to you, my dear guinea pig, we have a fair knowledge of what the glatni physiology reacts with, and against."
"And no one is more shocked, Tom, that you haven't flat-out killed me by now than I."
"To my point. Cornelius, you know what I'm going to ask of you."
"I do."
"You've always held the opinion that your own mutation was a senseless, iniquitous misfiring of fate. This may finally be the chance to give your past suffering meaning, you may greatly smooth the road for another, provide support and empathy in a way that Joanna and I, and indeed her friends and family, could never do. She may be spared your mistakes, unlike you she will have a guide."
"I'm just, adjusting to the idea still
Good gods. Should I come down?"
"There won't be another train through Payne 'til late and even then it would be witching hour before you got to Draney, so no, I shouldn't think so. Joanna estimates the girl will still be out well into the day after the morrow, even then it should be her family that she wakes to. We will give you notice when we think they are ready for you, we will also pass on your enthusiasm to assist in any way. Penny will still be in Mocoa?"
"Pity, that, she might have been of considerable assistance."
"Don't think I can handle this on my own, do you?"
"I just feel-"
"She's more friendly than me, I know."
"Well, no. You are the big terrible senator from the capitol and high and mighty Aagiean aristocracy, so not unfriendly, just, imposing."
"Can't believe this is happening, Tom."
"I would imagine the sentiment is shared by a number at the moment, not least Miss Dunn herself once she comes to."
"I could sympathize with that."
"Exactly. Well. Since I find the notion of a spare doctor twiddling his thumbs in a busy hospital disgraceful, I'm due to lend my not-inconsiderable surgeon's skill with a patient or three tonight, I must be off. You will be alright?"
"Be a bit selfish to be thinking of my own discomfort first in this case, I'll be fine."
"Alright. Good evening to you, Cornelius."
"Good night, Tom."

Right before your eyes. Actc scientists are working day and night behind closed doors under leadership of Dr. Robert Lanza to revolutionize medical Science. Stem cells are indeed the Holy Grail of the new frontier in Medicine and ACTC is indeed undisputed leader in this Revolutionary Medical field of regenerative medicine. I come today with the message of hope for those who suffer from DRY and WET AMD and assure you that your problems are going to be over soon. The hour of patience is at hand for Actc investors and soon those who have faith in ACTC will be rewarded 100 folds. Let there be Light,Dr. Tony Montello.
Time has indeed come to start the music, my child awakens Tommorow to cure all the ailments of humanity one cure at a time! Go OCATA Let it be Done, Dr. Tony Montello.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Go OCATA, Time to change medical history one cure at a time! Let it be written, Dr. Tony Montello holding strong to OCAT
NO, NO IT'S NOT. A BAD "story" of not getting off the OTC, while blocking retail trades and accurate quote just "unfolded" THIS WEEK. FINRA is now read the "history" of that bad "story".
Sentiment: Strong Sell
ACTC rebirth as OCATA Thetapeutics coming to a NASDAQ near you in matter of days! Let the OCATA Kraken rise to cure all, Dr. Tony Montello is here to stay.
Tell us more about the kraken uncle tony!
Ladies and Gentleman, The Moment we all long term ACTC shareholders have been waiting for is finally here, I have been accumulating ACTC shares for well over 5 years now. I first bought shares before President Obama took office in the sub penny land than some more when he lifted the ban and I have a very decent position in ACTC and have never sold a share not even the rise to .27 when FDA granted AMD/SMD phase 1 human trial approval. Finally we have management in position that will lead us out of the OTCBB to NASDAQ under the leadership of our beloved CSO Dr. Robert Lanza, All the decks are clear, all the legacy issues from the past management have been put to rest, coming Monday 06/09/2014 a plan will be put in to motion that will set a trigger of events that will take ACTC from .0649 cents to $300.00+ in next 3 years barring a buy out that happens before the PPS hits $300.00+ My comparisons and PPS target is solely based on Calculating the forward looking PE based on the market cap ACTC will garner for AMD/SMD MA09 RPE CELL THERAPIES after FDA and MHRA approval and market it will take away from REGN (EYLEA), ROCHE (LUENTIS) because lot of people don't factor in that if you prevent AMD from progressing than you essentially block it from progressing it to the Wet Form. I know it has been a long road getting to the tipping point but we are all here, only a few here will remain true longs that will indeed capture the 10,000++ PPS move in ACTC shares that is imminently coming, you just have to see and BELIEVE.) Let it be written, Dr. Tony Montello is here long and strong!
Ted Myles, Time has some to show the Royal Flush.) Let it be written, Throw a bone at the old long term holders here, Cohort 2A 20/100-20/20 Dr. Tony Montello.
bump for tony
Bump, Excellent post Doc, Prince.
DJ, Finally Time has come for ACTC to fulfill it's destiny, I have been forshadowing things to come here at ACTC. I was ridculed when I said that Dr. Lanza will duplicate the success in humans that him and his scientific team had accomplished in pre clinical trials, as we are aware of the infamous 20/400-20/40 patient but lot of people forget that there was 100% improvement in visual acuity of rats with rescuable photreceptors and the key to my position is that when cohort 2 A results are made public medical world will never be the same ...... let it be written, Good Doctor just left the building.)
ACTC: The wait is finally over starting TMW AM we will start reaping the reward 100 folds from the current PPS. ACTC OPTHAMOLOGY ADVISORY BOARD recommends to forego cohort 4 due to over whelming safety and efficacy in all 30 patients injected with RPE cells. ACTC to seek breakthrough designation from FDA! Let it be written, ACTC finally time has come for logarithmic jumps, Dr. Tony Montello long and holding strong.
Time has come for Actc to alter medical history, Tomorrow Actc PPS will start a steady climb in to the Wall Street history one day at a time! Let it be written, Dr. Tony Montello just left the building!
Now the time has come to start the music my puppets! Let it be written, Dr. Tony Montello
Doc, I didn't realize you've been wrong for 2 1/2 years. Your persistence is noBLE, I must say. Continue beating the drums, and even I will admit, you will call it right one of these days.

I love the medieval/fantasy genre so on any given day you can usually find me sitting at my desk in front of my laptop pounding away at the keys writing another chapter in the Paradox series of supporting indie authors. I also design book covers for Authors - That would be a run of the mill kinda day for me! Bringing fantasy worlds - the Ancient and the new to life...
A packet of Cruskits and a cup of green tea, that is now at room temperature, is sitting on the desk beside me. There is also a mass of USB cables, my kindle, notepads, bills to be paid, bills to be filed and a printer that is forever running out of ink. Sound familiar?
In front of me are three cork boards featuring pin ups of my characters faces and characteristics including eye colour, hair colour, age, height, ability....etc etc.

on Dec. 16, 2011 :
I'm one of those people who kinda believe when we die, something must stay behind, be it the soul, a higher conscious, or a residue of our inner self so, naturally, I picked this up, not least because it was free. I Believe was such an amazing, eye opening read, comprised of several accounts of people and their experiences with something 'out of this world.' It was interesting to the point that I couldn't put it down. The writing was sharp and to the point, leaving you eager to read on to find out what the next person had to share. Very good and inspiring novella that I'd thoroughly recommend.

@turkay1-- I didn't know that chapatis are such a good option for diabetics. Thanks for that information. My aunt is a diabetic and she loves raised bread. I have to convince her to switch to chapatis as soon as possible.
Don't worry about not getting the perfect circle shape. In some parts of India, chapatis are made in the shape of a triangle. If that's easier for you, you can do it that way. I remember when I started making them, mine were kind of oval too. The flavor is the most important, the shape will become perfect with time.
I think the secret to making soft chapatis is to first mix flour and vegetable oil together and then slowly add lukewarm water to make the dough. Add some water, and mix, add some more and mix again until it is the right consistency. This should make nice and soft chapatis.
Something I also do while cooking chapatis is to take a towel and apply some light pressure with it on the chapati while it is cooking. This causes small bubbles to form on the bread and for air to circulate on the inside. It makes the bread softer and more delicious.

Infant Foreign Ventures at Risk if North Korea Gets Too Angry
The place feels vaguely like China about 30 years ago when foreign companies were getting a feel for what it took to make or sell stuff there.
But the investors in North Korea barely have a toehold today. Some risk being ostracized in their home countries for engaging in the totalitarian regime. Others face business losses from meddling by North Korean authorities, says Leonid Petrov, Korean studies professor at the University of Sydney.
Some of the prime examples are South Korean. Hyundai Asan, part of Hyundai Motor (HYMLF), invests in a North Korean resort, railway construction and an industrial park. But Korean media reports say the north confiscated Hyundai Asan property in the Mt. Kumgang resort area after the shooting death of a tourist in 2008.
Other South Korean firms are waiting around who knows how long for Seoul to lift a 2010 ban on trade (except in one area near the demilitarized zone). At stake are mineral resources worth $6.1 billion, according to an East Asia Forum report last year. Most of the Korean Peninsula's minerals are in the north.
Companies such as NYSE-listed Pohang Iron and Steel, aka POSCO (PKX - Get Report), which mines iron ore, stand to gain from that deal. POSCO share prices are stable, though below record 2008 highs. Chinese-invested firms are picking up where South Korean investors cannot go, according to a 2011 report by the U.S.-Korea Institute at SAIS. Hong Kong-listed, miner MMG (1208.HK) is looking for resources in North Korea, the report says. Also cited among the 138 Chinese ventures in North Korea is Nanjing Panda Electronics Co. (553.HK), one of China's oldest television equipment makers. China's lead more than makes sense. Not only does Beijing temper its rebukes against Pyongyang's hardware tests, it also gives food and fuel aid to its Communist neighbor, which faces industrial sloth without energy and periodic public hunger without the free meals. China is not going to cut trade or produce what the Institute report refers to as "ideological exports." Companies from other countries are also sniffing around at the iron gates. Some private operators in the cottage travel industry are already seeing profits as about 70,000 foreigners visited the country in the year ending in November, Petrov says. If their governments stick with just the standard pretend-to-be-outraged reactions, nothing too fiery or threatening, to North Korea's military hardware tests, they might see eventual deals with Pyongyang and a boost in share prices.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This project is still very much a work-in-progress, but it is far enough along that I have published it.
What it does is provide a framework for creating predictable, pre-installed machine images on Amazon EC2 (the Amazon cloud). My motivation for doing this is to assist those people that don't necessarily want to get into all the dirty details of creating and maintaining linux images. They just want something that is pre-configured to their specification.
The project is hosted at github.com. Usage requires some knowledge of node.js.
Features so far include:
- images automatically install security updates
- various common software can be installed
That's all for now…

Iberia Parish — Troopers with Louisiana State Police investigated a two-vehicle head-on crash Tuesday night on LA Highway 182 east of LA Highway 88, which claimed the lives of two people.
Shortly before 7:45 p.m., 53-year0-old Creig Broussard of St. Martinville, was driving a pickup truck west on LA Highway 182.
A second truck, driven by 36-year-old Brian Stockstill of New Iberia, was traveling east on LA Highway 182.
For reasons still under investigation, Broussard crossed the centerline and struck Stockstill's vehicle head-on.
Both Broussard and Stockstill, who were wearing seat belts, were pronounced dead at the scene by the Iberia Parish Coroner.
It is unknown if alcohol was a factor in this crash. Routine toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
This crash remains under investigation.

Obama: 'tea party' wrong on 'culprits' of economic woes
President Obama asked for patience with the pace of economic recovery at a town hall-style meeting in Washington Monday.
J. Scott Applewhite/AP
On a day when the nation's official economic umpires said the recession ended over a year ago, President Obama spent an hour on TV Monday defending his handling of the economy and charging critics from the "tea party" with "misidentifying who the culprits" are behind economic tough times.
For slightly over an hour, Obama appeared at a town hall style gathering called "Investing in America," hosted by the business cable channel CNBC at the Newseum journalism museum in Washington. He admitted that "times are tough for everybody right now" and noted that the recovery fostered by his policies "is slow and steady as opposed to a quick fix."
The National Bureau of Economic Research, a panel of academic experts responsible for dating recessions, said the recession lasted 18 months and ended in July, 2009. It was the longest recession the country has endured since World War II, and cost the economy 7.3 million jobs, the panel said.
When asked about tea party critics of his policies, Obama first noted that the US has a "noble tradition of being helpfully skeptical about government." But he said the problem he saw in the debate about the direction of the country now taking place was that the wrong "culprits" were being blamed. He then noted that under President George W. Bush there were two tax cuts and two wars that were not paid for.

Rare book collections
The Department of Special Collections and University Archives houses over 35,000 volumes reflecting an evolving history of collecting at UMass Amherst. Beginning in the late 1860s with a focus on agriculture and the natural sciences, SCUA has developed into a resource for the study of regional and local history in New England, emphasizing our varied cultural, social, religious, and political histories.
Beyond New England, SCUA has built strength in several distinct areas, ranging from the history of social change to the extraordinary collection of Japanese rarities collected by the geologist Benjamin Smith Lyman during the Meiji era. Other noteworthy collections include those pertaining to the culture of the Cold War: a growing collection of books printed in East Germany and one of the largest collections of materials in the United States from the Solidarity movement in Poland.
All books and periodicals held by SCUA are cataloged in the Library's online catalog and summary descriptions of most major book collections, but not individual titles, are included in SCUA's own online catalog, UMarmot.
Selected areas of collecting interest:
Agriculture, horticulture, natural history
The library holds key works in apiculture, entomology, gardening, landscape design, organic agriculture, pomology, sustainability, and viticulture, with numerous works in animal husbandry. Materials date back to the 16th century, however the strength of the collections lies in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
Cookery in New England
The collections of Beatrice A. McIntosh, Athena Savas, and Lynette Foucher, among others, include books, pamphlets, and ephemera relating to the culinary history of New England, including many thousands of cookbooks published by church and community organizations.
European history and culture
Diverse collections ranging from materials on Revolutionary-era Europe, 1789-1848 (the Binet and Brabançonne Collections); Anglo-American Political Economy; twentieth century German history (the Harold Gordon Collection on the Interwar period and the Hans Joachim Ring Collection on East German cinema); and Communist-era Poland (Basia Jakubowska Schlatner Solidarity Collection).
Gay and Lesbian Literature
The centerpiece extensive of our holdings is the collection of gay rights pioneer Barbara Gittings and her partner, Kay Tobin Lahusen, which includes books on the history of homosexuality in America, works by and about gay writers, gay activism, and related topics.
Literary collections
Books by and about Robert Francis, Archibald MacLeish, William Manchester, William Lederer, and the Broadside Press, among others, as well as the poetry libraries of Francis, Wallace Stevens, and Anne Halley. Although the literary collections focus largely on New England writers, SCUA houses fine collections of the works of William Morris and William Butler Yeats, signed first editions of works by Thomas Mann, and collections of French and Scottish writers.
New England history and culture
Local and regional histories, novels, and other writing about Massachusetts from the eighteenth century to the present. These include an array of election, ordination, installation, dedication, fast-day, mission, farewell, and funeral sermons; Fourth of July orations; and addresses to or by benevolent, cultural, and civic organizations in the Commonwealth. SCUA also collects works printed in small towns and rural districts of Massachusetts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Social change
Valuable collections for the history of antislavery in New England and politics of the left. The John P. Roche and Steven Siteman Collections focus on the American left from the late 19th century through the 1950s, with some European materials and materials from the political right.
Rodney Hunt Company
Rodney Hunt Company Records, ca.1850-1987 (Bulk: 1862-1943).
Call no.: MS 105
The Rodney Hunt Company Records document the operation of one of the region's major producers of textile machinery, water wheels, turbines, and other specialty industrial products. Founded in Orange, Massachusetts, in 1840, the company was incorporated in 1873. Still an active concern, it continues to sell its products in international markets.
Due to a fire in 1882, and several floods, relatively few early records of the Rodney Hunt Company survive, but from the time of its incorporation in 1873, documentation improves, with nearly complete coverage from the period 1883–1914. The collection provides an excellent introduction to the history of technology and industry in 19th- and 20th-century Massachusetts. Of particular note is the incoming correspondence from 1876 to 1903, which is nearly complete. Other materials include company histories, correspondence, board minutes, blueprints, installation drawings, sketchbook drawings, patents, payroll ledgers, account books, price lists, sales books, brochures, catalogs, newsletters, subject files and photographs.

Social Change Colloquium
Each fall, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives sponsors a colloquium focusing on a topic in social change. Like SCUA's collections, these colloquia cover a broad terrain, touching on a variety of issues in social justice, equality, and democracy.
Colloquia are free and open to the public.
November 3, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Lower Level, W.E.B. Du Bois Library
"A Long and Winding Road: The legacy of the back-to-the-land communes of the 1960s," will explore the nearly forty year history of some of the region's best known communes: Montague Farm and Wendell Farms nearby in Massachusetts, and Packer Corners and Tree Frog Farms in neighboring southern Vermont. All were partners in the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s; all have survived into the current era. The colloquium's four speakers, who have each spent much of the intervening years on or near one of the four farms, represent each of these idealistic enterprises, as well as offering their own specific views. What have they learned from their long years in service to their ideals? Was the altruism of the counterculture era borne out in the experiences they faced later? Would they recommend the route of alternative life to the youth and radicals of today?
The sources of inspiration that led to the creation of these communities and the evidence of their later influence are documented by SCUA. The Famous Long Ago archive was formed to collect, preserve, and make available materials relating to the communes at Montague Farm, Packer Corners, Johnson Pasture, Wendell Farm, and Tree Frog Farm. Collections range from from the papers of writers Steve Diamond, Raymond Mungo, and Jonathan Maslow to those of anti-war activists Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner; from the records of the Liberation News Service, the organization that spawned the farms, to the Alternative Energy Coalition, and Musicians United for Safe Energy, later enterprises of the region's communal farmer-activists. It also includes the photographic collections of farm parent Roy Finestone, photojournalist Lionel Delevingne, and former head of a neighboring Montague ashram, Stephen Josephs.

Verandah Porche, a forty-year resident of Packer Corners Farm (known to the reading public, through the works of Ray Mungo and others, as Total Loss Farm) works as a poet-in-residence, performer, and writing partner. Based in rural Vermont since 1968, she has published three volumes of poetry – Sudden Eden (Verdant Books), The Body's Symmetry (Harper and Row) and Glancing Off (See Through Books) – and has pursued an alternative literary career, creating collaborative writing projects in nontraditional settings: literacy and crisis centers, hospitals, factories, nursing homes, senior centers, a 200 year-old Vermont tavern, and an urban working class neighborhood. Broad Brook Anthology, a play for voices, honors the lives of elders in her home town of Guilford, Vermont. Listening Out Loud documents her residency with Real Art Ways in Hartford, Connecticut. Come Over is a CD of songs written with her neighbor Patty Carpenter, performed by the Dysfunctional Family Jazz band. She has read her work on NPR stations, in the Vermont State House, and at the Guggenheim Museum. In 1998 the Vermont Arts Council presented her with its Award of Merit, and Marlboro College, in 2012, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
Susan Mareneck arrived in the Pioneer Valley in the mid 1960s, and spent her college years engaged in civil rights and anti-war activities, majoring Art and Political Science. After experiencing Montague Farm for several months in its early days, she settled into an unrenovated 18th century farmhouse in nearby Leverett, a building without heat or running water. Improving it slowly but concertedly over the years, she returned regularly to the house for vacations and summers, and has remained a neighbor of Montague Farm and a member of its extended family ever since. Decamping after several years for a graduate degree in art, and finally a move to New York, she spent 30 years making art and teaching it at the Spence School and the Convent of the Sacred Heart, on New York's upper east side, before returning to western Massachusetts in 2009 to work full time with families in Turners Falls as Executive Director at Montague Catholic Social Ministries. Living three blocks from Ground Zero, Susan saw her world change forever on 9/11. Her turn from education to social work reflects her long interest in non-profits and the role of faith in social change. Her work in that area has included projects directed toward employment, racism, educational policy, and prisons. She has exhibited, lectured, and published in the visual arts and historic preservation, and remains active in organizing the local history of her town, North Leverett, Mass.
John Scagliotti is an Emmy Award-winning American film director, producer, and radio broadcaster. He has received honors for his work on documentaries about LGBT issues including Before Stonewall and After Stonewall. During the 1970s, Scagliotti was the News and Public Affairs Director of the pioneering radio station WBCN-FM in Boston. For his work in radio, he was awarded two Major Armstrong Awards. In the early 1980s, he attended New York University Film School and went on to create In the Life for PBS, the first gay and lesbian national television series in the United States. The Scagliotti-produced documentary film Before Stonewall (1985) won the Audience Award at L.A. Outfest and two Emmies. Scagliotti directed a companion piece, After Stonewall, which won a Golden Eagle and the Audience Award at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Scagliotti is openly gay. His partner for 24 years was the late, highly regarded journalist Andrew Kopkind. Together they produced the radio show The Lavender Hour. Scagliotti is a longtime resident of the Kopkind Colony, an activist community housed at Tree Frog Farm, a close neighbor to Packer Corners Farm in Guilford, Vermont. The Kopkind Colony holds an educational summer residency program for nonpartisan, independent journalists and community organizers. In addition, the Colony fosters public education through publication of its lectures and the hosting of open forums on contemporary issues held at Tree Frog Farm and in other educational centers around the country.
Daniel Keller, a founder of Wendell Farm, in Wendell Massachusetts, has lived there, keeping it a working organic farm, since its inception in 1969. In collaboration with Charles Light, a former communard of the Johnson Pasture and Montague Farm, Keller's Green Mountain Post Films, with offices in nearby Turners Falls, has produced and distributed award-winning films for more than twenty-five years. GMP's first documentary Lovejoy's Nuclear War, released in 1975, about Montague Farm activist Sam Lovejoy, was one of the first films to question the nuclear energy policy of the United States. Since then GMP Films has continued to produce movies that explore social issues, Its films have been used as educational and organizational tools for activists working on peace, veteran, nuclear, environmental, and other related issues. GMP films include: The Last Resort (1978), and Save the Planet (1979), both on nuclear issues; The Secret Agent (1983), on Agent Orange; and Unknown Secrets (1990), on the reaction of artists and writers to the arrest, trial, and execution of accused spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. For Vietnam Experience Keller and Light teamed up with musician Country Joe McDonald to bring viewers closer to the reality of the Vietnam War. Cannabis Rising is an early investigation into the issues surrounding marijuana today so much in the news.
Timothy Miller is a longtime student of communal living, professor of religious studies at the University of Kansas, and author of The Hippies and American Values (1991), The Quest for Utopia in Twentieth-Century America (1998), The Sixties Communes: Hippies and Beyond (1999). His course offerings include a history of intentional communities in America; American religious history; and an overview of new and alternative religious movements in the United States. Miller's major research focus is the history of intentional communities in America, especially in the twentieth century. For his work in this area, Professor Miller has been recognized by the Communal Studies Association as a distinguished scholar. Additional areas of research interest include American religious history, new and alternative religious movements in the United States, and religion in Kansas. Professor Miller also coordinates the Religion in Kansas Oral History Project. His most recent publications include The Encyclopedic Guide to American Intentional Communities (Richard Couper Press), Spiritual and Visionary Communities: Out to Save the World (Ashgate Publishing), as well as the second edition of The Hippies and American Values (University of Tennessee Press), and the second edition of Following In His Steps: A Biography of Charles M. Sheldon (University of Tennessee Press). Through Miller's work on American communes, he has long been familiar with the extended farm family at the center of the current symposium. In a recent book review, taking in the larger field in which he is involved, he wrote, "…it can be safely said that Montague Farm has the best published record of any of the communes."

Ray Ethan Torrey Papers, 1832-1983.
Call no.: FS 121
A plant morphologist and member of the Botany Department at Massachusetts Agricultural College, Ray Ethan Torrey was among the college's most charismatic faculty members during the early twentieth century. Born in Leverett, Mass., and educated in the local public schools, Torrey graduated from MAC with the class of 1912, earning his PhD at Harvard six years later. After serving on the faculty of Grove City College and Wesleyan, he returned to his alma mater in 1919, where he remained for more than 36 years. A specialist in plant morphology and author or two widely used textbooks and numerous articles, Torrey's introductory course in botany was among the most popular in the college. He was best known, however, for taking a broader, philosophical approach to science that encouraged students to explore the connections between philosophy, science, religion, and the humanities. Torrey died of leukemia in Boston on Jan. 16, 1956.

Vega, Carlos
Carlos Vega Collection, ca.1966-1995.
Call no.: MS 800
An Ecuadorian-born community activist, Carlos Vega moved to Holyoke, Massachusetts, with his family in 1955. Settling in the working-class "Flats" neighborhood at a time when many of Holyoke's factories were relocating to the southern United States or Asia, the Vegas were one of the few Spanish-speaking families in the city, but when Carlos began to work on a local tobacco farm at the age of 14, he encountered the new influx of migrants from Puerto Rico who had been lured to the Connecticut Valley as agricultural laborers by the Department of Labor. With the Puerto Rican economy declining in the 1960s, many of these farm workers settled permanently in Springfield and Holyoke, but they soon discovered that the declining economy there combined with racism and urban decay blocked their hopes for upward mobility. Radicalized by the anti-colonial, anti-war, and Civil Rights movements of the late 1960s, Vega emerged as an important community organizer in the 1970s, working with Fair Share, New Unity, Urban Ministry, and other progressive organizations. With a backdrop of riots, arson, and racial tension, these organizations focused on issues relevant to the Puerto Rican community, particularly voter education and registration, fair housing, and education. In 1982, Vega helped found Nueva Esperanza, a non-profit community development organization whose mission was to restore and maintain blighted buildings in South Holyoke. He worked with Nueva Esperanza for over 30 years, continuing until 2010 after a brain cancer diagnosis in 1995. He survived until April 2012.
The materials in this collection reflect Vega's interests in left wing movements in Central America, the Caribbean, Asia, South America and Africa from the 1960s through 1980s and include leaflets, pamphlets, books, and newsletters. The approximately 300 items offer sometimes scarce documentation of internationalist liberation movements such as the PAIGC in Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, the Tupamaros in Uruguay, and the EFLNA in Eritrea. Of particular note is a small collection documenting Vega's participation in the 1974 Venceremos Brigade and a collection of clippings, newsletters, notes, fliers, conference material, and newspapers from various groups such as New England Action Research, Friends of the Filipino People, The Latin American Student Association, and the Ethiopian Students Union of North America. Some printed materials are cataloged and housed with the rare books collection.

Vinal, William Gould, 1881-
William Gould Vinal Papers, 1931-1963.
Call no.: FS 138
William "Cap'n Bill" Vinal was the first instructor in nature education at Massachusetts State College and a pioneer in the field. A graduate of Bridgewater State (1904), Harvard (MA 1907) and Brown (PhD, 1922), Vinal worked for several years as a camp director on his native Cape Cod and held a variety of university appointments in nature education before joining the faculty at Massachusetts State College as Professor of Nature Education in the Nature Guide School in 1937. Spontaneous in the classroom and field, enthusiastic, and highly popular with his students, Vinal taught courses in conservation, outdoor leadership, outdoor recreation, and nature guiding, and was an important figure in the Massachusetts Audubon Society, the American Camping Association, the Camp Directors Association, and several conservation groups. After retiring from UMass in 1951, Vinal returned to his home in Norwell, Mass., remaining active as a nature writer and teacher until his death in 1973.
A valuable glimpse into the early growth of nature and conservation education, the Vinal collection includes dozens of scarce publications by the exceptionally prolific Cap'n Bill, along with a small quantity of correspondence, talks, and reports. As a collection, these document the origin and growth of the Nature Guide School and the program in nature recreation at MSC and UMass, and more generally the growth of nature, recreation, and conservation education in New England. Of local interest is an extensive report for the town of Amherst Recreation Survey Committee (1948) regarding recreational opportunities for youth. Nearly half of the collection consists of an extensive run of Vinal's quirky, self-published Nature Guide Newsletter (1935-1951).
