James White
MABEN – James H. White, 93, died Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, at the OCH Regional Medical Center in Starkville. He was a member of the Maben United Methodist Church. He served with the 9th. Infantry Division in World War II in eight campaigns, from North Africa and Sicily to France, Belgium and Germany. He worked as a self-employed carpenter who was known as a man of integrity in his character and workmanship. He was an avid reader and student of history. He had a mechanical mind and preferred fashioning a part from a piece of metal or wood rather than purchasing one. His hobbies included gardening, puttting up vegetables and making homemade bread. First and foremost he loved God and his family: wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brothers and sisters.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Oliver Funeral Home Chapel with burial in the Providence Cemetery near Maben.
He is survived by a daughter, Elane (Edd) Finley of Amory; two sons, Jim "Jimmy" (Cris) White of Newton and Paul (Melanie) White of Cullowhee, N.C.; a sister, Corinne Springer of Maben; six grandchildren, Jennifer (Dave) Wigginton, Rachel (Kenneth) Thomas, Matt (Rachel) White, Zach (Amy) White, Christa (Kyle) Kerby, and Laureu Finley; eight great-grandchildren, Spencer, Drew and Lily Wigginton, Newt, Katie, Houston and Jane Thomas and Rebekah White.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Matty Vell Harpole White.
Visitation is 5 to 8 p.m. today at the funeral home.

For the purposes of this report, "microcattle" are considered to be small breeds of cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus) with a mature weight of about 300 kg or less. In many areas of the developing world, these are actually the animals most widely held by farmers and pastoralists. They are often treasured because of their resilience and simple requirements. Many survive and produce under harsh conditions, grow rapidly, calve easily, show good maternal ability, yield lean meat, or have other advantages.
Microcattle have generally been ignored in the push towards larger animals, but they seem inherently suitable for traditional and small-farm husbandry. As rural people in developing countries improve their own productivity, as they become more aware of nutritional needs, and as they depend more upon cash economies, microcattle could become vital means for improving personal, dietary, and economic status.
Cattle have been classified in many ways, but they are generally designated as humped or humpless types. However, clear distinctions among them are sometimes difficult or impossible to make because they have intermingled for thousands of years. Representative microcattle types are listed at the end of the chapter.
More than two-thirds of the world's 1.3 billion cattle are found in the developing world; one-third is in the tropics. As noted, a considerable number of these could be called "microcattle."
Many strains of microcattle are threatened with extinction because of replacement or crossbreeding with larger types. This is in some respects shortsighted because promoting just a few breeds contributes to narrowing of the genetic base, and valuable traits may be lost when selection is done to conform to any preconceived standard, including large size.
Microcattle are adapted to a wide variety of habitats. Many types thrive - even with little or no attention - in climates that are hot, humid, arid, or beset by diseases and parasites.
Cattle are ruminants and digest fiber well, although they are selective foragers and prefer tender grasses and low-growing legumes.
As with other tropical cattle, microbreeds generally reach physical and sexual maturity in 2 or 3 years. Many can breed year-round when conditions are favorable (gestation lasts about 9 months). Cows may remain fertile 10 years or more, and can live more than 20 years.
Cattle usually graze from as few as four hours to as many as eight hours a day. If feed is of poor quality, they must forage (and ruminate) longer to receive adequate nutrition.
Microcattle are commonly docile and undemanding animals, and many small breeds are surprisingly responsive to humans.
Like conventional breeds, microcattle produce the same well-known products: meat, milk, manure, hides, horn, blood, and bone. They are also used for traction.
Small cattle often produce only modest amounts of milk and meat per animal. However, given higher stocking rates, a herd of microcattle is often able to outyield larger, genetically improved animals on a per hectare basis, especially under stressful conditions. When their ability to survive adversity and poor management is taken into account, they may often be far and away the most efficient cattle for traditional husbandry.
Surprisingly, there is a place even for small draft animals. They tend to be active, thrifty (efficient), and more maneuverable in tight spaces, and so are adapted for use in the small fields, terraces, and paddies that are becoming increasingly common. The small hill cattle of Nepal, for instance, are valued because they can negotiate steep slopes and narrow terraces on Himalayan mountainsides.
Microcattle are handled like their larger counterparts, but herding, tethering, fencing, and hobbling are generally easier.
Cattle are familiar animals that are accepted in nearly all cultures; their meat, milk, manure, and leather are in demand almost everywhere. In many societies, beef is preferred over other meats, even by those who can rarely afford it.
In most areas, organized breeding, production, and marketing associations are already in place. Microcattle can also integrate well into traditional forms of husbandry, whether in pastoral herds of hundreds or as solitary backyard milk cows.
Under humid and hot conditions, microcattle probably suffer less than larger breeds because their greater ratio of skin area to body mass enhances their ability to shed heat.
The number of cattle that can be kept on a given parcel of land may be increased, sometimes even doubled, with smaller animals. Microcattle can also be penned and fed cut-and-carry forage more easily than can larger cattle, and more of them can be maintained on the same amount of feed. This permits more continuous production and less financial hardship when an animal perishes.
Small cattle may require less labor because they are generally easier to handle, herd, confine, and transport. They usually have few problems with calving, and as a rule require little or no assistance.
Some microcattle have unusual tolerances to disease. In Africa, for instance, there are breeds that tolerate or resist trypanosomiasis, a parasitic disease that makes large areas of that continent uninhabitable for most other cattle breeds. Others seem more tolerant of internal or external parasites, theileriosis (east coast fever), rinderpest, or other afflictions.
Microcattle often lack the prestige of larger breeds.
When given quality forage and supplemental feeding, small unimproved cattle may not match the overall productivity of the large, highly developed breeds. Their greatest potential may prove to be for traditional husbandry and for grazing marginal areas where survival is more important than feed efficiency.
In Mexico, researchers are deliberately creating microcattle. Since 1970, Juan Manuel Berruecos Villalobos, former director of the Veterinary Medicine school at the National Autonomous University, has directed this enterprise. He and his colleagues have miniaturized cows by selecting the smallest specimens out of a herd of normal-sized Brahman cattle and breeding them with one another. After five generations, adult females average 15-180 kg adult males 20-220 kg. A few of the smallest cows are now only 60 cm tall and 140 kg in weight. Merely one-fifth of normal weight, they are shorter than the turkeys that share the barnyard with them. Indeed, they even get lost in the grassy pastures so that the farmers cannot see them.
This program seems to have yielded a productive animal that can be cheaply and easily maintained in a small space. Berruecos has demonstrated that the tiny cows can be stocked on one-third the area needed to support one normal-sized cow. He reports that they are giving remarkable amounts of milk: up to four lifers a day, compared with six lifers from their full-sized counterparts. On a feed-intake to weight-gain basis, the tiny cattle are no less efficient than their normal-sized counterparts.
Although 17 years have gone into the selection of what Berruecos calls his "bonsai cattle," the process is not yet finished. Future goals include testing embryo transplants to see if one normal-sized cow can support multiple "microfetuses" (possibly as many as eight). This would help to rapidly increase the numbers of the miniature form, which weigh merely 4-5 kg at birth.
All in all, the Mexican researchers see miniaturization as a new option for governments and farmers increasingly squeezed by shrinking farm land and rising production costs. Small livestock they say, are a way to produce more food on less land faster. For example, a campesino with almost no land can have one or two bonsais, but could never maintain a standard-sized cow.
Their adaptability and robustness make microcattle worthy of preservation, study, and greater use, and they should be incorporated into many ongoing programs.
Selective breeding, although infrequently attempted, can probably improve productivity significantly. Records of breed history should be established, and unusual or special characteristics noted and the information disseminated.
In areas where small, indigenous breeds are being replaced, representative populations should be maintained and studied to increase understanding of their adaptive diversity and to retain a genetic storehouse for the future.
Dwarf West African Shorthorn
West African coastal forests, and inland. Female 125 kg; male 150 kg. Adaptation to harsh, humid climates and good resistance to trypanosomiasis and other diseases allow these small animals to exist where other cattle die. They are perhaps the smallest cattle of all (often weighing less than 100 kg). In the areas of worst disease and highest rainfall, this hardy animal is often found thriving, but half wild.
Muturu Nigeria. Female 160 kg; male 210 kg. This notable subtype is slightly larger. It is the most trypanotolerant of all cattle, showing no symptoms or loss of vitality. It is widely kept, mostly as a village scavenger and often as a pet, and yields a high percentage of meat.
West Africa. 200-400 kg. These active, stocky animals utilize low-quality forage, produce good beef, and are used as light draft oxen. Milk production, though poor, improves with feeding level. N'Dama mature early and are exceptionally fertile, and they have already become important in breeding programs. They are resistant to trypanosomiasis, and can exist where temperatures average 30Ý C with 1,500 mm annual rainfall. In the least hospitable areas, N'Damas ranging down to 200 kg are often the only cattle that can remain productive.
Southeastern Europe. Female 200 kg; male 350 kg. A humpless multipurpose breed - draft, milk, and beef - that is exceptionally hardy. The milk is high in butterfat. Possibly adaptable to the subtropics. It is rapidly being lost to crossbreeding.
Zebus are among the most important tropical domestic animals. However, the dwarfs are not well known, although in many areas they are preferred, especially as draft animals. Zebus use less water, even though their sweat glands are larger and more numerous than those of most other cattle. All have a low basal metabolism and resist heat well. In general, they also have high resistance to ticks and other parasites.
Taiwan Black Taiwan. Female 250 kg; male 250 kg. Well adapted to poor tropical conditions, these work animals are also used for meat.
Kedah-Kelantan Malaysia. Female 200 kg; male 250 kg. Hardy, well adapted cattle with exceptional fertility on a poor diet, both sexes are used as draft animals as well as sources of meat and cash.
Sinhala (Dwarf Zebu) Sri Lanka. Female 200 kg; male 250 kg. An ancient type of zebu, preferred for its handiness in cultivating small paddies and terraced fields.
Nuba Dwarf Sudan. 180-220 kg. These work animals are well proportioned but are not slaughtered for meat, and milk production is low. Although tolerant to trypanosomiasis, their numbers have dwindled because of crossbreeding.
Small Zebu Somalia. 160-230 kg. These small native cattle are used for beef, milk, and for work. They are well adapted to poor feed in a desolate environment.
Abyssinian Shorthorn Zebu (Showa) Central highlands of Ethiopia. Female 225 kg; male 305 kg. These widespread, small-humped cattle are very hardy. They produce beef and are generally milked, with surplus production about 2-4 kg daily. Resistant to many parasites, they also have a gentle disposition and make good work animals.
Dwarf Zebu (Mongalla) Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. Female 150 kg; male 250 kg. A highly variable, long-entrenched, small, East-African zebu with some nonzebu blood. Pastoralists favor it because of its hardiness. Although slow-maturing, it is well-fleshed, can yield excellent beef, and some types are milked.
Mashona Zimbabwe. Female 200 kg; male 250 kg. This hardy zebusanga type (see below) is widespread in drier areas and has a high resistance to disease and parasites. Since the 1940s, it has been bred for beef production and selected animals now weigh more than 500 kg.
Mini-Brahman Mexico. 135 kg. Downsized from 450-kg Brazilian zebus through selective breeding by Mexican researchers, these gentle animals are reported to yield two-thirds as much milk (3-4 liters daily) as the parent stock. Because of much higher stocking rates on grass, production per hectare is reportedly greater than with full-sized animals (see sidebar, page 22).
Central and South America. Descendants of Spanish and Portuguese cattle imported over 400 years ago, "criollo" cattle have adapted to a wide range of harsh climates. Many varieties are small: mature females often weigh 200-300 kg or less. They sometimes produce little beef or milk under traditional conditions and management, but they are extremely hardy and survive when other cattle perish. Through importation and crossbreeding, many local types have been lost or are threatened.
Chinampo Baja California, Mexico. 200-350 kg. Extremely tolerant of wild desert conditions, these docile criollo cattle exist largely on scrub and cactus. They get most of their water from succulent plants, have a low metabolic rate and body temperature, and are mostly active at night.
Florida Scrub Florida, USA. 225-300 kg. Genetically isolated for more than 300 years, the Florida Scrub is very hardy in harsh, subtropical conditions. It has good resistance to ticks and screwworm, and can subsist on forage with a high roughage content.
This type - an ancient cross between longhorns or shorthorns and humped animals - is found throughout eastern and southern Africa. It weighs from 150 to 500 kg or more. Some types have been selectively bred or crossed with European cattle and are quite productive.
Bavenda Transvaal, South Africa. 240-290 kg. This hardy and disease tolerant tropical variety is small and prolific. It is generally used for draft, barter, and beef. However, it has been crossbred with larger animals so frequently that the smaller types are almost extinct; most "Bavendas" now weigh more than 300 kg.
Ovambo' Northeastern Namibia. Female 160 kg; male 225 kg. A calm and docile animal with a small hump, it is used by seasonal pastoralists for beef and milk.
Nilotic Sudan. 180-300 kg. These cattle of southern Sudan show great variation in size, partly due to environmental factors. They are generally resistant to local parasites and worms, have good potential for increased beef production, and their milk is very important locally.
Chadian "Native" and Dwarf Black Cattle
Chad. Female 225 kg; male 275 kg. These two types are small, humped meat animals that graze the sparse savanna and are very drought resistant. Little scientific information exists about them.
"Arab Cattle"
Middle East. Small types (female 225 kg; male 300 kg) are used for meat and some milk, especially in Lebanon. There are many local forms with variable appearance, but all have small humps. Well adapted to grazing sparse vegetation on rough land, they are becoming rare due to crossbreeding.
Hill Cattle
Nepal. Female 160 kg; male 200 kg. A widespread type often recrossed with Indian zebu animals, they are bred to be small. They are thrifty creatures that maintain themselves well on poor forage. Bulls make sure-footed draft animals on rough ground and slopes, and the cows are milked.
Tibetan Dwarf
Tibet. Less than 250 kg. These humpless cattle are used as pack animals and can tolerate poor forage and high altitudes.
Yellow Cattle
Southwest and south China. Female 220 kg; male 380 kg. In the subtropics and tropics, small multipurpose types of Yellow Cattle withstand high temperature and humidity. They are used mainly for work and meat, and seem well adapted to poor feed, harsh conditions, and rugged terrain. The Chowpei (190-380 kg) is a hardy working breed of more temperate areas in Hubei Province.
Cheju Hanwoo
Korea. Female 230 kg; male 280 kg. A yellowish-brown Cheju Island native that has almost no calving difficulty, it is well adapted to poor grazing conditions in harsh environments and is docile and obedient.
Indonesia. Female 220 kg; male 300 kg. An ancient cross between humped cattle and the banteng (see sidebar), these heat- and disease resistant hybrids also have good grazing and mothering ability, and are kept in the most extreme humid tropical environments. Breeding for fighting and racing has given them a poor disposition.
Dexter Cattle
Ireland and North America. 220-360 kg. This breed can be traced back to eighteenth-century Ireland and is believed to have been developed by peasant farmers living on rough land. It is exceptionally hardy and produces both milk and meat. In North America, it has become popular among city folk who acquire country property, as this microbreed is particularly well suited to their usually tiny farms.
The banteng (Bos Javanicus) is a small Southeast Asian bovine with a promising future.* It is a different species from cattle. The two will interbreed, but the hybrid offspring are normally sterile.
Although almost entirely neglected by the animal science community, the banteng is remarkable for an ability to thrive under hot, humid, and disease-ridden conditions where cattle often grow poorly. The sexes are easily distinguished: males are jet black, females are golden brown. Both have bright white socks and rumps as if they had been freshly whitewashed.
Wild banteng are found in remote areas of countries from Burma to Indonesia. But only Indonesia has used it as a farm animal so far. It has more than 1.5 million domesticated banteng - some 20 percent of the country's total "cattle" population. Indonesian farmers value the animal's agility, which allows them to cultivate Relds too narrow for cattle to turn the prow. In addition, gourmets consider banteng meat the tastiest of all. Indonesia appreciates the banteng so much that it has established a genetic sanctuary on the island of Bali - banning cattle in order to maintain the banteng's genetic purity.
Outside Indonesia, only a few scientists have studied this animal, but it seems clear that it is particularly useful under tropical conditions. In heat and humidity, it thrives; even when cattle are starving, one rarely sees a skinny banteng. And demand for its meat is never ending.

5-HT test
This test is sometimes used to help to diagnose carcinoid syndrome. This problem can occur in people with carcinoid tumors. These tumors grow from a certain type of cell, and they usually show up in the lungs, stomach, small intestine, rectum, and appendix.
Some carcinoid tumors can convert a substance made from an amino acid in the body called tryptophan into a chemical called serotonin. Serotonin is further broken down to 5-HIAA, and this is the main test for carcinoid syndrome. But a blood test to measure levels of serotonin in the blood is sometimes also used.
Relatively few carcinoid tumors – about 10 percent or less – are linked to carcinoid syndrome. Usually these are tumors that grow in a certain part of the small intestine and spread to the liver.
You might have this test to find out whether you have a carcinoid tumor. Symptoms of carcinoid tumor can include:
Severe skin flushing, usually in the upper body, head, and neck
Visible blood vessels in the skin, especially on the cheeks and neck
Diarrhea, possibly severe and with cramping
People with carcinoid syndrome may also have symptoms of heart valve disease and tightening of the airways in the lungs.
The main test for carcinoid syndrome measures a substance called 5-HIAA in the urine. When a tumor produces serotonin, your body turns it into 5-HIAA. This test may require collecting all the urine you produce over a 24-hour period.
Another test measures a substance called chromogranin A in your blood. Higher levels may point to a larger tumor size.
A result for a lab test may be affected by many things, including the method the laboratory uses to do the test. If your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Elevated levels of serotonin in your blood may point to carcinoid syndrome. Research found that people without carcinoid syndrome had serotonin levels in their blood of 71 to 310 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). In people with carcinoid syndrome, however, levels were 790 to 4,500 ng/mL.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Eating foods rich in tryptophan may cause tests to come back falsely elevated. These include:
Hickory nuts
Avoid eating foods that can affect your test results (listed above) for at least 24 hours before the test. Tell your doctor about any medications you're taking.

Children who were once refugees recently spent a day at Princeton conducting experiments and touring the campus. The activities were part of a six-week summer program run by the International Rescue Committee in which members of Professor Wole Soboyejo's research group are participating. From left, in an experiment set up by the group, Hawa Sanogo from Congo, Nene Abdullaye from Guinea and Dolma Dolma from Tibet mixed clay and sawdust together with the help of Kyrra Richards, an International Rescue Committee teacher. The mixture they created ultimately was fashioned into a ceramic water filter. When the filter was fired in a kiln, the sawdust burned away, leaving behind tiny holes in the clay through which water could pass, but most bacteria could not. (Photo: Frank Wojciechowski)

Hands-on engineering, campus visit inspire former refugees
Posted August 7, 2008; 10:35 a.m.
Through a partnership with Princeton engineers, children who once lived in refugee camps are learning about science and engineering as they design clay water filters and solar energy cookers. Addressing problems of clean water and affordable energy that they experienced first hand, the students also are gaining insights into the higher education process in the United States.
The students are participants in a youth summer program run by the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit organization that helps people who have suffered from natural disasters and political strife.
"We want the students to see that science and engineering are not intimidating, but areas of endeavor where, if you're motivated, you can do things that not only help you learn, but also make an impact," said Wole Soboyejo, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. "At the same time, I think we can inspire them to achieve their academic dreams and life goals without feeling constrained by their refugee status or financial resources."
Members of Soboyejo's research group are teaching some 50 participants in the six-week program every Wednesday afternoon at Marymount Manhattan College. The students also visited the Princeton campus on July 25. The work of the Princeton volunteers is sponsored by the U.S.-Africa Materials Institute, which Soboyejo directs, and organized by Tiffany Tong, a graduate student in electrical engineering.
The high school students, led by Tong, are conducting experiments related to the design of solar cookers, which are intended to replace traditional cooking fires in places where gathering wood is difficult or environmentally harmful. The middle school students, guided by mechanical and aerospace engineering graduate student Ismaiel Yakub, are exploring designs for a water filtration system that uses locally available clay to remove contaminants.
"We try to break down the explanations and definitions as much as possible," Tong said. "I've been really impressed with all of the students, and their willingness and eagerness to learn and participate."
Roughly half of the students in the program have been in the United States between one and three years, hailing mainly from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Togo. The other half arrived within the last year, primarily from Burma, Nepal and Iraq. Depending on the amount of time spent in refugee camps and conditions in their home countries, the students' previous educational experiences vary widely.

The group, also including (back row, from left) Abdoul from Guinea, was guided by Princeton graduate student Ismaiel Yakub and visiting undergraduate student Kyle Carlson from the University of Iowa. (Photo: Frank Wojciechowski)
As part of their July 25 visit, the students were welcomed to the University by Vice President for Campus Life Janet Dickerson before heading off for tours and hands-on activities. The high school students toured the campus and visited the Imaging and Analysis Center in Bowen Hall. The middle school students spent time in Soboyejo's lab in the Engineering Quadrangle, working under the guidance of graduate students to fashion ceramic water filters.
Ida, a 13-year-old refugee from Togo, was eager to get her hands on the clay.
"I've never been in a lab before," she said, adding with a grin, "It makes me think I like science."
"Without this partnership, these kids would never have the opportunity to see, touch and feel this type of equipment," said Elizabeth Demchak, education services officer for the International Rescue Committee. "And, in a regular science class, students don't have the opportunity to learn from true scientists. Now, the students are learning how science is used in everyday life. They're also able to see the diversity of the Princeton students and faculty, which gives them role models they can identify with in terms of gender, age and ethnicity."
Take Abdoul Diallo, for instance. He entered the United States in 2006 as a refugee from Guinea with little formal science education. After participating in the Rescue Committee's program last year, he is now one of two "leaders in training," helping current students adjust to the program and often serving as a translator for the newest arrivals.
Diallo, a rising high school senior, aspires to attend college and ultimately hopes to go into medicine.

"When I came here, I didn't understand English," he said. "But now I'm working with scientists from Princeton. When I see African scientists doing well here, I want to work like them and be like them."
During their visit to the University, the Rescue Committee students also attended a panel discussion titled "The Road to College: Former Refugees Discuss Their Journeys to Princeton and Share Tips on How to Get to College." As part of the panel, electrical engineering graduate student Ekua Bentil, 2007 graduate Loan Le and rising junior Abass Mohamed shared their experiences as refugees who are from Ghana, Vietnam and Somalia, respectively. They were joined on the panel by undergraduate admission officer Joseph Ramirez, a 2007 Princeton graduate, who explained the college admission process and answered students' questions. The conversation was moderated by Stephen Friedfeld, associate dean of graduate affairs in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
"One of the spectacular things for me to learn as a Nigerian was that the U.S. is a meritocracy," Soboyejo told the students at the panel. "It doesn't matter if you're from Asia, Latin America or Africa. If you work hard, you can be whatever you choose to be."
After the panel, the day concluded with a soccer game for program participants and organizers in Princeton Stadium.

Using Sync Toy
Posted 06 July 2012 - 04:54 PM
Any way to make this faster or safer? To move files from desktop to EHD's after this, should I just copy them, or use Sync Toy?
I'll appreciate any tips. I read instructiions, but not sure I understand which is best of the three options.
Posted 06 July 2012 - 05:26 PM
Posted 06 July 2012 - 05:27 PM
I hadn't heard of Sync Toy so jumped on the internet to see what it was! I guess you are backing up your files. I couldn't see if SyncToy continually updates or whether you have to run it each time you want it to sync. If you hae to manually run it then it would be a good idea to do it often.
I think that the speed will just be because you have so many files to be copied. I've just bought a year's back up with Crashplan and with more than 78,000 files it says it's going to take a long time (days!). The beauty of this one is that is continues the backup all the time. There is a free version of this but it didn't offer a great deal of storage.
Good luck, you won't regret doing a backup!
Posted 06 July 2012 - 05:41 PM
I know some of the members on line use Sync Toy, and hope I can get some suggestions as to the best ways to use it. I did a trial file first, and there were things to be deleted. It is hard for me to delete things, so as a result, I've copied folders of collections and zips more than once.
Posted 06 July 2012 - 06:10 PM
Posted 06 July 2012 - 06:35 PM
It has a nice capability, to create named "sync-sets." So I can use one set to handle backing up icon files to our server, and a similar set to do the same backup to an EHD. I can back up different kinds of files, etc.
It is not an auto-scheduled tool; you decide when you want to run it.
I've never tried SyncToy for full backups of my computer, but I like it a lot for how I use it.

I have used SyncToy for a long time on Vista, but now I learn that you can create a "Scheduled Task" in Windows 7, and have SyncToy run as a regular event automatically. Glad I was wrong on that earlier.

I know I had a lot of duplicates, and on the trial files I ran first, it put a lot of files in the new named file in red, but the two selected files on two EHD's had equal numbers of files when it got through. It asked if I wanted to delete the New named file and I did since it was just a misc. folder. I didn't really understand what I was doing, however. duh.
Posted 06 July 2012 - 10:38 PM
You can PREVIEW a Sync before you actually run it. RED lines indicate that it's going to delete a file because you deleted it on the source, or overwrite an older copy with a newer one. You can exclude any questionable actions by unchecking them.
The Help for Synctoy is pretty good; I recommend it.

Obama Agrees To Discuss Russian Proposal To Secure Syria's Chemical Weapons
The official says Obama discussed the proposal Tuesday with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron. France's foreign minister says France will float a resolution in the U.N. Security Council aimed at forcing Syria to make public its chemical weapons program, place it under international control and dismantle it.
Obama has said the proposal marks a potential breakthrough that could halt plans for a U.S. military strike, though he said the details remain unclear.
The official requested anonymity because the officials was not authorized to discuss the private conversations by name.

Tempting flavors of pumpkin pie and warm, buttery frosting--what could be better on an autumn afternoon?
Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of spices to flavor pumpkin. If you want to make your own, mix 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
Browned butter has a nutty aroma. Carefully watch browning butter and remove the pan from the heat as soon as the butter begins to brown. Heated butter in a hot pan continues to darken as it cools. Do not use margarine in this recipe; margarine is made from vegetable oil and does not brown.

Shares of contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) and chip equipment vendor ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) are on the rise after both companies reported Q4 results in line with consensus, and TSM forecast Q1 revenue to top analysts' expectations.
Taiwan Semi shares are up 44 cents, or 2.5%, at $18.24, while ASML shares are up $5.50, or 8.6%, at $69.32.
TSM reported $131.3 billion in New Taiwan dollars' worth of revenue in the three months ending in December, or $4.52 billion U.S., up 25.4%, year over year, and 28 cents in net incomer per American Depository Receipt. Analysts had been expecting $4.49 billion and 26 cents.
The company forecast Q1 revenue of $127 billion to $129 billion in New Taiwan dollars. In U.S. dollar terms, at current exchange rates, that is $4.38 billion to $4.6 billion, topping the consensus $4.26 billion for this quarter.
During a conference call with analysts this morning, TSM's chief financial officer, Lora Ho, said demand proved strong than the company had been expecting at the start of the quarter.
Ho said it was all about mobile phones in the quarter: "However, demand for mobile computing devices remained firm, making communication the only growing segment in the fourth quarter, while demand for computer, consumer and industrial-related product all declined by double digits."
ASML reported Q4 revenue of €1.02 billion, down roughly 14%, year over year, and EPS of €0.66, excluding some costs, compared to the average €1.03 billion and 43 Euro cents.
For the current quarter, ASML projected revenue of €850 million, below the average $1.1 billion revenue estimate. The year outlook for €4.7 billion is also below the average €5.3 billion estimate.
ASML also raised its annual dividend by 15%, to €0.53 per share, or 19.6% of 2012′s earnings.

Gage had surgery last Wednesday to remove a hair follicle tumor on his leg. The bad news, $233.00 for just the biopsy, the great news, benign and 100% excised. The laboratory and the Vet give him an absolute clean bill of health.
Now for the recuperation. He is not to exercise until the stitches are out and light duty for at least another two weeks after that. There is a 5 inch incision that has to heal.
For the last two + years, in order to avoid the strict Los Angeles leash laws, we train every day at first light. He still is waking me at 5:20 AM but can't understand why we are not going out.
He's a real athlete. He gets about an hour of hard exercise every day.
I guess the question is: what do you do with a dog that is bored out of his mind. We've been watching training videos but I don't think that is helping him. He keeps trying to go behind the screen .
I'm sure I'm not the only one here that has had to put a dog up for a while. Any thoughts?

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning seen in a July photo.
Pfc. Bradley Manning now faces a maximum sentence of 90 years in prison, down from 136 after the judge in his court martial granted a request by defense lawyers to merge the sentencing for some of the 20 guilty charges facing the former Army intelligence analyst.
The trial of Pfc. Manning, who leaked troves of classified documents ranging from diplomatic cables to battlefield reports from Iraq and Afghanistan to the WikiLeaks website, has entered its sentencing phase in which both the prosecution and defense present evidence about the actual damages that resulted from the leaks.
The trial judge, Col. Denise Lind, approved the motion to merge multiple charges tied to single offenses—obtaining a video or document and then transmitting it, for example. She previously announced that Pfc. Manning, who was arrested in Kuwait in May 2010, would receive roughly three and a half years off his eventual sentence to make up for pretrial confinement and punishment.
During the trial, Col. Lind denied several defense motions to throw out certain charges because of a lack of substantial evidence from the prosecution. Last week, she found Pfc. Manning, who decided against a jury trial, guilty of federal espionage and theft charges but innocent of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy.
In a further signal of the defense's uphill battle, Col. Lind has stated she will disregard any evidence that she finds inadmissible.
Prosecutors called Undersecretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy to testify about the aftermath of the WikiLeaks disclosures.
Mr. Kennedy testified Monday that U.S. diplomatic relations with some foreign countries had iced over after State Department cables were published on WikiLeaks. He said the disclosures undermined the confidentiality of discussions between U.S. officials and their counterparts overseas.
The prosecution, however, has yet to elicit substantial evidence that Pfc. Manning's leak of hundreds of thousands of classified documents resulted in any deaths of U.S. soldiers or citizens.
The sentencing hearing continues Fort Meade, Md., as prosecution lawyers call further witnesses to testify in both classified and unclassified sessions.

I was using this with regular workouts and a low carb diet. Did not experience any acceleration in the weight loss department, though I did loose a couple of Kilos, but I am guessing it's more due to the exercise and change to a low carb diet - which is the normal weight loss rate. So don't know exactly what this product does.

What some people would consider "the ideal hacking environment" I'd consider a bare minimum. It's been a long time since I worked some place that didn't have 24 hour access, 24 hour A/C, decent lighting, and so on.
A controlled auditory environment. I can't work when the guy in the next cubicle is yelling at a vendor on the phone, and I can't work if I can't occasionally yell at a stupid vendor. Same with music. I need it sometimes, but I don't want to hear anyone else's.
Headphones are a no-go... I can't get up and move around. Maybe bluetooth headphones would solve the problem.
Lots of bookshelves. All the way to the ceiling, at least on one wall. Places to put up my posters and pictures. An expectation that *good* artwork won't get pilfered. No hassles about work-area toys.
Couch, preferably a variety of couches.
Offices have plusses and minuses. Plus: you can get away from people. Minus: people can get away from you. Cubicles really do seem more efficient, but we need get-away-from-people space. Maybe a couple of quiet rooms with couch/desktop/workstation/closed door/sound system... and a timer?
Plenty of ethernet. At least 4 ports per office VLANnable to whatever test lans you need them to be on. And as many hubs and switches as you want for in-office things.
Room for at least 3 workstations in the office, per person. Sometimes you really need to have an end-user system for end users.
A real electronic workbench you can take stuff to beat up on hardware on, including good lighting and magnifiers and soldering iron and lots of little boxes full of stuff like solder and sockets and common parts.
A full size arcade Tempest machine, in good shape.

South Sudan: Don't let down the world's newest country, says Amos
The UN's Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), Valerie Amos, urged the world not to let down its newest independent country, after she visited the centre of a major humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.
Her comments came towards the end of a four-day visit, in which she witnessed the effects of widespread intercommunal violence in Jonglei State. Recent fighting between the Lou Nuer and Murle tribes has led to mass displacement and prompted a major humanitarian operation.
"Some of the women I met have lost loved ones, their homes, cattle and most of their belongings. People have been in the bush for several weeks, often without food or clean drinking water," said Ms. Amos. "Many are highly traumatized and are not willing to return to their villages."
During her visit to Bor, Walgak and Pibor in Jonglei, she met aid workers from 17 organizations that provide food, water, medicine and shelter to displaced people. They described a daily struggle to overcome insecurity, movement restrictions and limited capacity.
The latest violence has compounded an already difficult situation. "Before the crisis in Jonglei, humanitarian partners were already overstretched, carrying out some 30 emergency operations across the country. In some of the worst-hit areas, there are only a handful of partners on the ground," Ms. Amos said.
Recent clashes along the country's disputed border with Sudan have also forced tens of thousands of people to flee into South Sudan. Hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese have also chosen to return voluntarily, adding to widespread food insecurity and high levels of vulnerability.
"The situation in the country is extremely precarious, and the risk of a dangerous decline is very real. Food insecurity has already increased, and 2012 will witness an earlier, and a longer, season of hunger," Ms. Amos said.
"Humanitarian needs will inevitably increase, and the combined efforts of the Government, the aid community and the donors will not be enough. The scope of this crisis cannot be ignored."
The UN and partners have appealed for US$763 million to carry out 271 aid projects through 110 organizations in South Sudan in 2012.
Ms. Amos added: "Since my last visit here in 2010, signs of change in South Sudan are already visible, and I can see it here in Juba. But perhaps the most significant change is in the hearts of the people, proud of their hard-won nation, the newest independent country in the world. The world must not let them down."

|the Rod Rack Rod Builder's Forum
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think you are right about affecting casting performance. If the rods are worth anything, it might be better to sell them, and buy new ones. I'm not sure that you need a rod as short as 7'9" for boat fishing, but maybe if you were right in the mangroves and had restricted movement....I don't know, too many bugs.
Juro has more experience with this kind of rod building, so maybe he will chime in.
To minimize the effect on how the rod casts, cut at the butt. A couple of inches off the tip could make the rod more than a weight heavier. Your six and eight weights are probaby the best canidates for this kind of thing, because taking a foot off the butt will still make the rods need a couple of line weights heavier. But the tip will still be soft. These will be VERY fast rods.
Let us know how the experiment works out.
shortenning 9 ft rods
i have a few fast action 9ft backup rods in 6,8,an10 weight that i am thinking about shortenning to 7'9" or 8" for use in my boat where i fish in boston harbor and for mangrove type fishing for snook or peacock bass. my thinking is that the shorter length will give me more leverage on the fish. my concern is the affect on casting performance. any advise or information is much appreciated.

text: Clausen painted many scenes of labourers in the fields. In The haymakers he combined his interest in interior and exterior views, looking at the scene from within the barn, contre-jour. In contrast to the theatricality of some Edwardian paintings, Clausen's work was simple and unaffected, although he tended to idealise rural themes.

The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs is sponsoring the lecture.

Finished them up today, they will go south next week. One is a Maple/Jack Pine with an old school sound to it, the other is a Parquet call with Purpleheart/Bloodwood-Curly Maple with Blackwood inlays, with a crisp sharpe sound to it. Both with turned cedar strikers. This gives them two different sounds to choose from and two completely different looks to the calls. Hope the judges like one or the other?
Thanks for looking, Scott.

Principal Investigator: Carl W. Cotman, Ph.D.Medical Director: Gaby Thai, M.D.
The University of California, Irvine (UCI) ARCC, established in 1989, operates within the Institute for Brain Aging and Dementia located on the main UCI campus. The Center provides the infrastructure and support for the recruiting and diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer's disease, the supplying of well-characterized patients to investigators for research, the education of caregivers and professionals in the community, and the translation of research into practice. The Center seeks to extend services to minority and less-represented elderly individuals through joint community programs and other collaborative associations. The ARCC fulfills a unique niche. The ARCC recruits a wide variety of patients in addition to those with Alzheimer's disease, such as those with mild cognitive impairment, vascular dementia, complex dementias, etc. This provides a population that represents a cross-section of the dementias facing the elderly. The ARCC also sponsors extensive outreach programs into the community, educational conferences,special workshops for community professionals, and an annual conference sponsored jointly with the Alzheimer's Association. Finally, the ARCC serves to translate basic findings into practice within the community.
The current University California, Irvine ARCC Center focuses on three areas in AD research and care: diagnosis, intervention, and cost-effectiveness. These areas will be addressed through projects aimed at improving diagnostic technology and treatmentstrategies as well as economical translation of findings into the broader health care community. Better behavioral and pharmaceutical interventions should be developed in tandem. The current health care delivery environment and constrained budgets in both the public and private sectors require solutions that are cost-effective for patients, caregivers, and businesses
