It's not a definite case. You're speaking from personal perspective, and it doesn't look like people are agreeing with it being a dummying down. It looks like you are just set in your ways. > What will be the first thing a support person asks a > newbie stuck on a boot to do? "Hit CTRL-ALT-F1, please, and tell me what > it says." Exactly. And how big a percentage gets stuck on a boot ? And when that boot gets fixed, will they get stuck on it again ? The point is about addressing 99% of the use case. In 99% of the use case you don't need so see the boot messages. You yourself don't even READ them every time. But in case you have some need to read them, you can. What more can you ask for ? Using "marketing" as a term to describe what redhat describes as usability just makes it apparent you have a deep distrust of everything non-hardcore tech stuff :) Thomas Dave/Dina : future TV today ! - http://davedina.apestaart.org/ <-*- thomas (dot) apestaart (dot) org -*-> Lover fair We'll be looking sharp I swear I want them all to stop and stare When we take'em down <-*- thomas (at) apestaart (dot) org -*-> URGent, best radio on the net - 24/7 ! - http://urgent.rug.ac.be/

Aztalan—Mississippian in Wisconsin
Aztalan is probably Wisconsin's best known archaeological site. The name implies that the site was occupied by the Aztecs. That, however, is not the case. The site was first occupied by the Woodland people and then people from the Mississippian tradition. A surround may have been for fortification or to control who entered and left the village. Stockades inside the village may have divided different use areas and helped to control who entered these areas. Inside the stockade were three large platform mounds and a natural knoll that was used as a mound. The mounds were used for different activities. One mound contained burials, another had a structure on top. These mounds may have been used for ceremonial activities or as a place for the elite religious or political leaders to live. There appears to have been a plaza area within the stockade surrounded by houses. Some efforts have been made to reconstruct parts of the site. The site of Aztalan is now Aztalan State Park.

I was convinced to purchase the Lip & Lid primer after an associate at Sephora used it on me (the lip part) during a makeover. I already have & love the Photofinish Primer - so I thought I'd love this, too. But I don't. The lid (concealer) part is too thick and cakey - even when I lightly apply it with a brush. The lip primer is better - but is a little dry - even when new and it dries out quickly rendering the stick useless.
So with a one lippe lid end and a 3 lippie lip end I give this products an average of 2 lippies. Not worth buying again.

On April 14, ABC Daytime launched it's third original fragrance, "Charm! All My Children," based on the book "Charm," written by the AMC character of Kendall Hart (Alicia Minshew.) ABC/Disney sent Soapdom a sample of the fragrance. It's a bit too flowery and sweet for me, but it's light and airy as well. According to ABC, the fragrance is a captivating sugar floral scent, including an enchanting mix of Bergamont, Black Currant, Grapefruit, Star Orchid and Sugar Cane. Additionally, on each bottle is a limited edition Swarvoski Crystal Moon Charm that can be added to a pendant or charm bracelet. The scent is available as fragrance, body splash, body lotion and shimmer powder puff. Charm! All My Children was exclusively developed for ABC by Cosmetic Specialties, East, Inc. The fragrance is now available at Sears, abc.com and soapnet.com. Contributed by LMS

Now that Days of our Lives Jason Cook (ex Shawn) will be reunited with former love interest Kirsten Storms (ex Belle, DOOL; Maxie, GH) on General Hospital, could there be any truth to the rumor that Beth Ehlers (Harley, GL) could be following in the footsteps of her former love interest, Ricky Paull Goldin (ex Gus, GL; Jake, All My Children)? When questioned about the possibility by the NY Daily News, Goldin replied: "Beth is going to have no shortage of places she can go. Sometimes you've got to take a couple of punches before you wake up." Apparently, Goldin is very happy with his new gig on AMC. "...there's a beautiful sense of professionalism over here, Goldin shared. "The production quality is really high. They want to make every scene beautiful. Besides their Steadicams and their lighting, the sets are pretty extravagant. It feels like a fantasy." Although he did not come right out and say it, it would appear that part of his reason for leaving Guiding Light was that he did not agree with the new production direction the show was taking.

"Very much like my role of Brad Ecker on 'Ghost Whisperer' (relating to DOOL''s Ford Decker), this role and project also has many similarities to 'Days.' My character's name is J.P. Ford , and the acronym for the show is, if you pay close attention DOOL...how crazy is that?

Days of our Lives' Nadia Bjorlin (Chole) has released a 4 song EP along with her brothers Ulf and Jean Paul Bjorlin, titled The Bjorlin Trio. "The music is best described as classical crossover, in the likes of Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli." "We recorded these four songs because of the beautiful three part harmonies and of course it is accompanied by my brother Jean Paul on piano." explains the actress. The trio has been performing together since they were 5 and 6 years old all over Sweden, Europe and the States where they have all grown up. As they grew older, they went their separate ways with their individual professions. Nadia pursued acting in Hollywood, and in 1999 landed the long exhausted search for the character of Chloe Lane which she has portrayed on and off since that time. In between those stints on "Days of our Lives", she starred in the 2007 feature film, Redline and has guest starred in such TV series as "Jake In Progress", "Sex, Love & Secrets", "Out of Practice" and "Complete Savages". Ulf is an accomplished musician in his own right and was named after their late father, Ulf Bjorlin, Sr., a world famous composer and conductor. Ulf has also followed in his sister's footsteps in acting, co-starring in several films and TV projects. Jean Paul is a recent graduate of Juilliard with a Masters Degree in Piano and currently sings in various New York City opera companies. Last year the three siblings – Nadia, Ulf and Jean Paul decided to reunite and reignite their passion for the music that their father had so inspired them to love and they recorded several tracks together for fun. The magic of the trio was there and ultimately the EP was born and of course they were encouraged to pursue this by their mother, Fary, and their three other siblings – Katja, Kaj and Kamilla. The tracks on The Bjorlin Trio EP include "Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro)", "Dream A Dream (Pavane)", "The Prayer" and "Cinema Paradiso." The tracks were recorded at the famous Capitol Studios in Hollywood with two-time Grammy-Award winning producer, Rob Christie. The 4 song EP is available NOW on iTunes, emusic and Amazon.com and wherever digital downloads are sold. The trio will be back in the studios in the next few weeks recording more songs to complete their forthcoming full-length CD to be released later this year.

The Hoff can't see his kids
You saw the video on The Juice* last week, and an L.A. judge used it as a reason to suspend David Hasselhoff's visitation rights to his children. The video, showing the Hoff eating a burger off the floor whilst in a drunken stupor, will be the subject of a May 21 hearing to determine how it will affect his long-term relationship with the children he had with ex-wife Pamela Bach, TMZ reports. Until then, he's allowed to have telephone contact only. Have another look in case you missed it the first time.

Today marks six months since the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 workers and gushed more than 170 million gallons of oil combined with large quantities of hydrocarbon gases.
To put this anniversary in perspective, Doug Inkley, senior scientist for the National Wildlife Federation, compared what we know now about the Gulf disaster with we knew about the Exxon Valdez disaster six months after it had happened.
"Looking back at what we knew six months after the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska illustrates the danger of too quickly drawing conclusions about the full impacts of the Gulf oil disaster," said Inkley. "Six months after the Exxon Valdez disaster, the herring stocks in Prince William Sound seemed like they'd pull through. It wasn't until the fourth year after the disaster that herring stocks collapsed due to a delayed population effect of the oil, devastating the people and wildlife that depended on them. Today, more than two decades later, this once-vital fish still hasn't recovered."
It could likely be years, if not decades, before the full impacts of the BP oil spill disaster are known.
"The Exxon Valdez disaster was not simply one ecosystem earthquake – the aftershocks have continued to this day,"said Inkley. "What tremors are still to come in the Gulf? The aftershocks of the Gulf oil disaster will continue to cast a long shadow of uncertainty on the Gulf ecosystem and the livelihoods of those who depend upon it for years to come."
As part of NWF's immediate response to the oil spill, Inkley traveled to ground zero of the disaster, reporting how the oil was impacting wildlife in the Gulf.
"As I look back on my days in Louisiana's wetlands wading through thick black oil in prime pelican habitat, I continue to wonder: How long must we wait for lawmakers to act to prevent future disasters? How many more lives, livelihoods and animals must be claimed by our addiction to oil?"

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Some $37 billion worth of preferred shares of Fannie Mae ( FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac ( FMCC.OB) were effectively wiped out when the U.S. Treasury Department took control in 2008, but at least three hedge fund investors believe the securities still have value. That's if they can get anyone to agree on what will happen next. "For a constituency that's as big as $37 billion, you would think there are people that have suffered horrendous losses and are adamant about the wrongs that have been committed here," Michael Kao of Akanthos Capital Management in Woodland Hills, Calif. Prior to the financial crisis many U.S. regional banks held Fannie and Freddie preferred shares because their implicit government backing allowed the securities to pass muster with bank regulators. But in 2008 -- as losses on mortgages piled-up --Fannie and Freddie announced they would halt dividend payments and the value of those shares quickly dropped off a cliff. Paul Merski, chief economist at the Independent Community Bankers of America, says the lobbying group is working on getting some recompense for its members, though one mortgage industry lobbyist says he believes the ICBA, for whatever reason, "hasn't been putting much muscle" behind its efforts. Merski believes several investor class action cases are underway against the government over the decision to halt the dividend, but he couldn't name one and TheStreet was unable to learn of any. One lawsuit announced Thursday came from Judical Watch, which calls itself a conservative non-partisan educational foundation. Judicial Watch announced it had filed a motion in a Washington D.C. U.S. District Court to try an get the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to release documents related to its decision to place Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship. An FHFA spokeswoman had no comment. Judicial Watch files politically-charged lawsuits on a regular basis. It has typically gone after Democrats, though it once sued former Republican vice president Dick Cheney. The group's list of 10 Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians on its website lists eight Democrats, including President Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi, and two relatively minor Republicans.

Xavier Ellis explains how teammate Elliot Yeo lost his teeth
While West Coast's Elliot Yeo must be considered unlucky to have had his two front teeth knocked out on to the MCG on Saturday night, it's amazing that it can still happen on an AFL arena.
It's been nearly five years since then Hawthorn forward Lance Franklin had a tooth knocked out in a marking contest with then St Kilda defender Zac Dawson.
Like Yeo, he too had his mouthguard on him, but it was also tucked in to his sock.
Round ten in photos: http://t.co/fL3Kxpet8r#goeaglespic.twitter.com/BVJckxB4T1— West Coast Eagles (@WestCoastEagles) May 25, 2014
Gary Moorhead, at the time Chief Executive Officer of Sports Medicine Australia, sent out a reminder following that incident reminding "sportspeople that mouthguards are designed to be worn, not to be tucked into socks".
Sounds simple enough.
"A well-fitting mouthguard should be an essential part of a footballer's protective equipment and should be worn at all times," he said in a release the week after Buddy's incident.
Yeo's teammate Xavier Ellis said that he kept his mouth guard in his mouth at all times because of incidents like the one on the weekend.
Against the Pies on Saturday, Yeo dropped an uncontested mark and then ran into Witts' shoulder just seconds before the half-time siren sounded.
"I don't take mine out for that reason. I think he had it in for the majority of the night and took it out for 30 seconds to have a breather. I don't think he'll do that again," Ellis said.
"I think he just took it out for literally 30 seconds and the ball came, so it's a hefty price to pay."
Yeo's teeth were not knocked out at the roots, but appear to have snapped.
However, he is expected to be available for selection to play against North Melbourne on Sunday.
"I played in a game when Lance Franklin had his teeth knocked out and he played the next week. I'm not sure what Elliot's progress would be, but I'm confident he'll be all right," Ellis, a former Hawk said.
"I haven't spoken to him today - he'll get them fixed up and work on his uncontested marking during the week."

Letting the People Speak for Themselves
For those who haven't heard of the group, Falun Gong is a nonviolent quasi-spiritual movement, one that blends Tai Chi-like exercises with bits of philosophy from a number of Eastern disciplines, and one that until recently was extremely popular in China, claiming somewhere between one million and eight million practitioners. The Chinese government claims that Falun Gong is a "cult," headed by founder Li Hongzhi, and says that the movement is extremely well-organized and aimed at political domination of China… which is a bit odd, considering that the movement seems to mostly appeal to the elderly or the very sick, it is only "organized" in that people congregate in parks to do their exercises together, and that before the Chinese government initiated a crackdown on the group it could count a number of high-ranking officials among its number.
Why has the Chinese leadership decided to paint Falun Gong as such a threat? Opinions vary, and in his book Falun Gong's Challenge to China: Spiritual Practice or "Evil Cult"? journalist Danny Schechter takes a cross-section of a number of them throughout the book, but the answer is essentially that the Chinese Communist Party has positioned itself to be the sole source of philosophy and direction in China, and with Falun Gong growing even under the 1999 ban, it sees that that position is in jeopardy. The breaking point was a silent, completely nonviolent protest around the main government compound in Beijing on April 25, 1999, a seemingly spontaneous gathering of around ten thousand practitioners from all over China who asked simply that the government allow them the freedom to practice their religion. Despite the good intentions of the protesters, the action prompted the government to escalate its attacks on the movement, believing that their worst fears had been realized.
Falun Gong's Challenge to China
Danny Schechter
Spiritual Practice or "evil Cult"?
(Akashic Books)
The very first thing that strikes one about Schechter's book is that, well, it doesn't really seem to go anywhere. Now, I realize that I'm discussing a work of serious political journalism here, not an Agatha Christie murder mystery, but still, the first 90 or so pages of Challenge basically feel like a rehash of facts everybody knows to begin with, principally that A) the Chinese government is repressing people, and B) not all odd spiritual groups are evil, nor should they be necessarily called "cults." It's no major surprise that the powers-that-be in Beijing restrict people's freedoms—they've been doing that for the better part of a century—nor is it much of a surprise to read that the U.S. government essentially plays deaf-blind-and-dumb when it comes to such human-rights abuses. Schechter's a good writer, but Part I of his book isn't news.
Just when I had nearly given up on Challenge, however, I finally waded through the initial "report" and reached what is undoubtedly the core of the book: Chapter 11, entitled "Experiences of Falun Gong Practitioners in China Under the Crackdown." It is a collection of first- and second-hand accounts of the repression of Falun Gong "cultivators," both in China and abroad, and it's simultaneously captivating and horrifying in the same way that a car wreck out on the highway is. Instead of simply opening fire on protesters as they did in 1989, this time around the Chinese government has taken a much more underhanded approach to repression and used the media (theirs and ours) to cover things up.
Over the past couple of years, since the 1999 ban on Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa, as it's also called), thousands of practitioners have been "detained," sometimes repeatedly (so as to avoid breaking Chinese law, which mandates a 12-day limit before charges must be made), and while detained, these people have been abused, beaten and tortured, sometimes to death. And we're not talking hardened revolutionaries, here, mind you; Falun Gong is ostensibly apolitical, to begin with, and a quick glance through the various statements and stories told here shows that these are normal, everyday people, from all walks of life. A fifty-five-year-old woman from Jiangsu Province is held without cause in a mental institution; one man in Jinling Town is assaulted in the middle of the night and beaten savagely; a seventy-eight-year-old man is forced to stand barefoot on an asphalt road until the flesh of his feet burns; another woman, forty-two years old, is beaten with a rubber club until she dies, after which the police quickly transport her body to the hospital and attempt to claim it was simple heart failure, despite the bad condition of her body… the list goes on and on, and it reads like a book on Nazi-era Poland. It's almost unbelievable, the scope of these abuses, and the sheer insanity of the accusations being made—how on earth could a seventy-year-old grandmother, a former school principal and lifetime Communist Party member, be considered a "dangerous revolutionary?"
Perhaps it's that insanity that Schechter is trying to bring to light with this book, and if so, he has succeeded. I remained a skeptic throughout his initial "report" in Part I, but I was completely sold (not to mention horrified) after reading the stories of various people detained and harassed simply for practicing Falun Gong. Judging from the relative brevity of Part I, as well, I think that Schechter himself realized what had occurred to me, above: that just writing about repression from a journalist's objective vantage point is almost meaningless at this point. We all know repression, and we've come almost to expect it from our own political leaders, sadly enough. We don't want to hear somebody just sit there and tell us how things have gone wrong.
So, how does one get around that journalistic barrier? By letting the people affected talk about it themselves, in their own voice and time. It's like the difference between seeing a videotape of a war zone and hearing someone tell you what it looks like. And it works. There is no question that the crackdown on Falun Gong is strictly politically motivated, wholly unjustified, and against any statute of international law one can name, and the first-hand accounts collected here hammer that point home better than dry journalistic prose ever could.

Clean diesel. What is it? According to the Diesel Technology Forum it is diesel with less sulfur, combined with new engine technology, that makes for a clean diesel engine. They also state the new engines are quieter, less polluting and more powerful.
VW is introducing a TDI model which uses clean diesel and promises not only a clean burning vehicle, but also one that has more more and better mileage. Based on their popular Jetta model, there are claims that the car will get 40 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on the highway.
Here is what Popular Mechanic has to say about the VW Jetta TDI model:
Merging with northbound traffic on Interstate 75 just outside Auburn Hills, Mich., I punch the accelerator, quickly swing left into the passing lane and pull forcefully ahead of the cars around me. In any other ride, on any other gray morning, it'd be just another Interstate moment. But this rush hour, I'm behind the wheel of a preproduction 2009 Volkswagen Jetta, which is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-charged, direct-injected diesel engine that, even as I leave the speed limit in tatters, is averaging nearly 50 mpg. Equally important, what's coming out of the tailpipe is no dirtier than the emissions from the 35-mpg econoboxes I can now see in my rearview mirror. Speed, fuel efficiency and minimal emissions? These aren't characteristics usually associated with diesel-powered vehicles. But they will be.
Most Americans have a bad impression of diesel cars. We think of them as loud, hard to start and foul-smelling. We sneer at them for lacking the get-up-and-go of their gasoline-powered cousins. And we dislike them for their perceived environmental sins, chiefly the polluting brew of sulfur and nitrogen compounds that they emit into the atmosphere. All those complaints were fair a generation ago, when the twin energy crises of the 1970s propelled diesels into national popularity and kept them there for a decade. Back then, many drivers ignored diesel's faults, or were unaware of them, because diesel cars ran 30 percent farther on a gallon of fuel than similar gasoline-powered cars. It felt savvy to buy a diesel, even daring. Then fuel prices dropped in the mid-1980s, and drivers abandoned their clattering, odoriferous fuel sippers. They went back to gasoline.
So will clean burning diesel cars solve our gasoline woes, or is this just a temporary solution to a long range problem?
Comments welcome.

This is a boxing forum, may as well close it down if we're not allowed too disagree with what boxers say! Because if he said he was weight drained and such it would make him sound like a sore loser despite that actually being a valid point. He was preparing for a fight at cruiser against an orthodox opponent & had to make 168 for a southpaw on only 11 days notice, of course he was drained & probably severely too.
You're not British lmao, sure you aren't!
Who did Joe ever drop or stop legitimately in his entire career worth a damn except a shot Woodhall & Eubank at the tail ends of their careers?
Am I too take Eubanks words over Joes power or should I say lack of over countless hours of footage and the words of a shed load of opposition who also felt his power?

Tour from Lisbon to Fatima
Report Abuse
I don't know if it is still there, but there was a tourist office on Ave. Liberdade just up from Rossio Station. You could book all kinds of tours here. If the office is not there, there should be a tourist office somewhere in that nabe.
Do an online search for tourist offices or travel agencies in Lisboa. They would be your best bet.
Usually the tours of Fatima include Nazare, Obidos, Bathalha, and Alcobaca.
There is so much to do in Lisboa. I don't know why you would want to spend your only day there visiting Fatima, which is a very strange and eerie place. The shops that sell religious articles in Fatima are extremely tacky. (I saw a BVM lamp and a Jesus coat rack in one of the shops.)
I would much rather wander around Alfama or visit the Jeronimos Monastery and Coaches Museum than go to Fatima for the day.
Report Abuse
Go to a local tourist office, they can help you book. That's how we did it several years ago. They have bus trips as I recall it was pretty cheap and took most of the day. As an aside my mother was horrified at the huckster atmosphere around the shrine. They were selling everything you could think of with Our Lady of Fatima on it. The kicker was the OLF condoms. She was so mad she bought a pack and mailed them to the pope. Needless to say she did not get a reply. <G>

There are regular daytrip tours to Fatima Shrine offered by many Tour Companies; but all Tour Companies don't offer Tours to Fatima every day.
Check with your Cruise Ship Operator. I know that Cruises that stop in Vigo offer Tours to Santiago de Compostela; and Cruises that stop in Cadiz often offer Tours to Sevilla. If the Cruise Ship operates to Lisbon regularly, the least they ahould have is a 'Tour booklet' for Lisbon.
In Lisbon, there's a Nossa Senhora da Fatima Church on Avda Verna. I saw a notice in the window of a Religious articles shop across the street from the Church advertiaing Tours to Fatima.

Everyone should plan their vacation the way they want. BUT.
Having been brought up Catholic and having been to Fatima I have to say that it is kind of strange to say the least.
I would hope that your only memory of Portugal would not be that of Fatima. But if the tours include the other stops, as Thin says, then it would be worth it.
Good Luck.
Report Abuse
Check with Tours for You - www.toursforyou.pt - they offer a half-day tour and they get very good reviews (I've personally used them twice, but not for Fatima). If you can find others on your cruise that would like to go with you, the cost per person will be more palatable.
But as others have said, Lisbon is such a gem it seems a shame to leave town.
(As edifices built to exalt the glory of God, there are ruins of cathedrals and abbeys elsewhere in world that have left me with a much deeper feeling of wonderment than the cold, stark monument at Fatima.)

Is it possible to do the trip to Fatima independently? I am leaving tomorrow for Lisbon and would like to avoid a big bus tour. We have several days in the city and I'm curious to see this place.
Also, can direct me to a site where I can find good self-guided walking tours of Lisbon?
Thanks in advance!

Here's a walking tour designed by a poster on this board who is very knowledgeable about Lisbon.
It is possible to see Fatima on your own. I'm guessing you won't have a car so stop in the tourist office in Lisbon and ask about buses to Fatima.
IMHO Fatima is not worth the time it takes to get there.
Report Abuse
I was in Lisbon last January, and wanted to see Fatima, as well as the other area sights: Batalha, Alcobaca, Obidos and Nazare. Public transport made it impossible to do all 5 in one day, so I had to take a tour, which I don't normally do. I visited the helpful staff at the tourist info centre near Rossio Square, and they helped me book a tour with "Cool Tours LX". It was low season so I was the only person on the tour, but it ran anyway! My guide for the day was Gonzalo, an extremely knowledgeable and friendly person. Can't say enough great things about him and the tour!
We started at 9:30 from the Hard Rock Cafe. First stop was Fatima, where we spent about 90 minutes. I am a Catholic, but was not moved by this sight. That was enough time to see it for me. From there it was a short drive to the other places, and final stop was the very charming walled town of Obidos. Highly recommended if you want to see more than just Fatima on a day trip.
Report Abuse
Shirley53, I agree with "Cries" and others – with only a day in Lisbon, I would NOT go to Fatima. Although I too had been brought up a Catholic, I believe that Fatima was the tacky destination I have ever been to in Europe. Sound harsh, but it's true. I found the rest of Portugal charming.
Hope you enjoy your cruise….

"Jesus" is back, and he's in Siberia

The followers of Sergei Torop have gathered from all over Russia to meet the man who says, "I am Jesus Christ...It was prophesied that I would return to finish what I started." But unlike Jesus of the New Testament, this "Redeemer" has a wife and six children. I wonder which one is Jesus Jr.?

The annual conservative Value Voter Summit is well underway this weekend at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington and has had its usual quota of controversy. But at a point in the GOP primary season that guarantees the appearance of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum, it may be difficult for any other messages to work their way into the conference.
Not so for The Heritage Foundation.
As the only think tank on the program and a major sponsor of the summit, Heritage (along with its lobbying wing Heritage Action for America) managed to share the presidential spotlight with one plenary session two breakout sessions and a sponsored breakfast. In addition, Heritage distinguished fellow and former attorney general Ed Meese will be honored at a gala dinner this evening.
Heritage communications director Rory Cooper said that "the enthusiasm for Heritage is unprecedented at this year's event."
"We've found the audience that comes together for this conference cares just as much about our national security and the Constitution as they do the growing burden of our national debt and the need to reform our entitlement programs and tax system," said Cooper.
He added: "Like the presidential candidates who appear on the program, we find attendees to be influential leaders within their communities."
Heritage's role at the Value Voter Summit includes the following:
•Saving the American Dream: Stuart Butler, Distinguished Fellow and Director, Center for Policy Innovation, The Heritage Foundation; Nina Owcharenko, Director, Center for Health Policy Studies, The Heritage Foundation; Dr. Matt Spalding, Vice President, American Studies and Director, B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, The Heritage Foundation; Genevieve Wood, Vice President, Leadership for America Operations, The Heritage Foundation
•The Heritage Foundation Breakfast (ticketed event): American Renewal: The Case for Reclaiming Our Future (Speaker - Dr. Matt Spalding,Vice President, American Studies and Director, B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics)
•How the Welfare State Erodes the Family: Kiki Bradley, Research Fellow, The Heritage Foundation; Christine Kim, Policy Analyst, The Heritage Foundation; Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow, The Heritage Foundation
•Policy, Action and Accountability: How to Make a Difference on the Front Lines: Jessica Anderson, Deputy Political Director, Heritage Action for America; Michael Needham, Chief Executive Officer, Heritage Action for America; Russell Vought, Political Director, Heritage Action for America
•Faith, Family, and Freedom Gala Dinner: Honoring Edwin Meese III, Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow in Public Policy and Chairman for the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, The Heritage Foundation--Regency Ballroom (black-tie optional, ticketed event)

How Do I Determine if a Network Printer is Offline?
My Linux system does not have any printer attached; I have to print using a printer on a Windows computer. I have installed that printer in the Linux system using cups and a samba connection. If I run lpstat on that printer, it merely gives me the status of the queue. Whether the printer is online or unavailable, it gives the same status (printer idle but enabled). I would like to determine (programatically) whether the default printer is online or not, so that I can select an alternate printer if that one is online. Any suggestions?
You could look at smbclient. I know it will see the printer share; what I don't know is whether the printer share in Windows might still be visible even if the printer is off-line but the Windows box isn't.

Holocaust Survivors Program
For Holocaust survivors, aging presents an enormous challenge. Those who survived Hitler and the Nazis are now faced with unique challenges as they age. Many are now in their 80s and 90s. Most are widows and widowers; they may feel isolated, depressed, alone and anxious. Each individual's ability to cope with the challenges of illness and aging is complicated by the suffering, loss and deprivation experienced during the Holocaust.
JF&CS's program for Holocaust survivors is designed to address and support the psychological and emotional needs of aging Jewish Holocaust survivors. Social services for Nazi victims have been supported by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc.
How We Help
- Care coordination services allow survivors to safely and comfortably stay in their homes for as long as possible.
- JF&CS staff assists survivors in filing claims for reparations.
- In-home counseling services help survivors cope with psychological and emotional issues.
- Provide assistance with escorts and homecare.
Meet the People We Help
Lida* was one of the thousands of Jewish children in Germany who survived the Shoah thanks to a series of rescue efforts called Kindertransport. But the challenges of aging are presenting Lida with unforeseen problems, complicated by the suffering and deprivation she experienced as a young girl during the Holocaust.

Leah* was a young Jewish girl growing up in Poland when she was forced into hiding without her parents soon after the Nazi invasion in 1939. As an elderly survivor, she relied on her daily walks to the Jewish Community Center to keep her mind and body strong. But the onset of a neurological disorder confined Leah to her house, causing her to slip into depression and her physical condition to deteriorate.

Total knee replacement surgery is a viable option for many people living with pain and disability from severe knee arthritis. The surgery has a high success rate, with most knee replacements lasting upwards of 20 years.
An important part of the rehabilitation process following total knee replacement is strengthening the leg muscles that support the knee joint. As with any period of immobilization, the lesser-used muscles quickly lose mass and strength. Loss of strength in the thigh muscles limits mobility and puts people at higher risk for falls. Therapies that minimize these losses have the potential to speed healing time and decrease complications after surgery.
Amino acids are the building blocks for protein synthesis in the body. In the first study of its kind, 28 people (average age 69 years) were given 20 grams of essential amino acids or placebo two times per day for one week before and two weeks after total knee replacement surgery. The participants' functional mobility and thigh muscle mass were assessed before surgery and two and six weeks postoperatively.
"Our results clearly demonstrate that a reduction in muscle breakdown occurred in the amino acid group compared with the placebo group," said lead study author, Hans Dreyer. "These results offer preliminary evidence in support of a role for amino acid treatment and increased protein consumption to offset muscle loss and functional mobility impairments following total knee replacement."
Knee replacement surgery may help people with significant damage in one or both knees resume healthy activities that osteoarthritis is interfering with, such as low-impact sports like golfing, swimming, and biking.

It's National Nurses Week, an annual celebration which ends on Monday and recognizes the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing. This year's theme, Nurses Leading the Way, promotes nursing leadership as nurses improve the quality of health care, and ultimately, the health of the nation. Nursing staff in the Yolo County departments of Health and Alcohol, Drug & Mental Health play a critical role in assuring that Yolo County is a healthy place to live and work, and have done so for more than 100 years.
In 1863, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors voted to construct an infirmary for the "sick and insane." It could be said that the history of health care, and public health, began with this vote and the recognition that health was a vital community concern for Yolo County. Unfortunately, construction of the infirmary would not take place until 1885. Records from intervening years indicate there was concern for the needs of the underserved and to that end, there were "county doctors," Drs. Thomas Ross and Thornton Craig, who volunteered their services in this capacity for the county.
No public health system as we think of it today existed, nor did public health nurses with rigorous training and primary prevention as their goal. However, there were certainly some shining stars. These were what we might today call "practical nurses," nurses that worked for or with physicians. One of them was Mary Frances Gaither, daughter of slaves, born in Cooper County, Missouri in 1865. As a very young woman, she was taken into the household of a physician to help care for his infant son. This physician recognized her ability, trained her as a nurse, and even sent her for technical training. She married Augustus Gaither and they found their way to the Esparto area by the 1880s.
Gaither was the nurse-midwife for the Capay Valley for nearly 50 years, taking produce and quilts as her payment. She also founded the first nursing home in Esparto which eventually specialized in the treatment of tuberculosis. Gaither often assisted Dr. Craig, who would come from Woodland on horseback for difficult cases. This was a time when it might take hours to get between those places and Esparto did not yet exist as a town. Her 1939 obituary confirmed her place as a well-known and valued member of the community who had delivered many infants over the years.
Another star was Kathleen McConnell who worked for Drs. Fairchild and Blevens at the Woodland Sanitarium, the forerunner of Woodland Community Hospital. Around the beginning of the 20th century, she often made follow up home visits, traveling by horse and buggy.
By 1919, there was increased interest in sanitation and the isolation of contagious diseases. Yolo General Hospital was expanded to accommodate the need for isolated care. The 1920s and '30s saw the rise of public health nursing as an integral part of the Yolo County Health Department. For public health nurse Rozzie M. Carrow, home visits included assessment of sanitation, infant welfare, arranging for visits to doctor's office, and supervising treatment of communicable diseases from scabies to TB. Rozzie also visited 40 schools throughout the county.
Public health nursing services began to broaden in response to community need for better health care for children. The Crippled Children's Services program was initiated in 1937, funded by the Social Security Act, for all children with physical deformities. For the first time, a countywide dental program for school children was started. Health clinics in Davis, Woodland, Knights Landing, Broderick, Bryte, Winters and Clarksburg offered physical examinations, vaccinations and acute care for children who were not in school and unable to obtain private services. And later in the 1940s, screening for hearing problems was provided by Yolo County nurses. Among diseases under surveillance were TB, polio and malaria.
In 1952, Dr. Herbert Bauer was named Health Officer. He began publishing the Health Department's annual report in a style easily readable, inviting the reader to "drop us a line and tell us what you think of our program" and signed, "Cordially, Herbert Bauer." The population of Yolo County in 1954 was about 48,000 and Dr. Bauer was concerned over the county statistics which included death from diseases of early infancy (20), suicide (12) and 20 patients, ages 9 months to 37 years, ill with polio. To address these concerns, the East Yolo branch of the Health Department expanded to three full time nurses. In total, public health nurses numbered four, which included the director of nursing and a supervisor. The department also had five registered nurses making the nursing division by far the largest. Dr. Bauer noted they were also members of organizations such as the TB and Health Association, Red Cross, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Crippled Children Society and Cancer Society.
In 1954, public health nurses continued to follow up on cases of communicable disease. They also followed up, as needed, through Child Health Conferences held monthly throughout the county. Additionally, they were responsible for the "school health plan" as Woodland was the only district employing a school nurse and a part-time physician. Yolo County school nurses gave thousands of vaccinations, vision and hearing tests, and participated in more than 4,700 home visits, teacher-nurse conferences and referrals for behavior problems. Dr. Bauer noted that while school nurses gave the advantage of being exclusively available for the school, that nurse may have little contact with the rest of the family. He further suggests that it might be "desirable" to have more public health nurses on staff to render services in a more "holistic" manner, a term not yet in vogue.
Dr. Bauer closed his reports by wishing readers "success in the fight against chronic diseases... relative freedom from major acute communicable diseases ... happiness and as much stability as can be achieved in our troubled world so that some of the causes of emotional upheaval may be avoided... health will not merely mean absence of disease but it will give you a feeling of physical, mental and social well-being." Beautifully holistic, then and now.

JERUSALEM (Dec. 7)
Newspapers around the world are paying notably little attention to the Middle East debate taking place in the United Nations General Assembly, according to a press survey by Israeli diplomatic missions abroad released today. Except in the countries directly concerned, reports of speeches by Egypt's Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad and Foreign Minister Abba Eban of Israel have been relegated to the back pages and were very brief. Radio and television news programs hardly mentioned them at all, the survey indicated.
Observers here said that Egypt which had asked for the debate was bitter over its taking second place to the Indo-Pakistani war. The shifting of the latter issue from the Security Council to the General Assembly reduces the propaganda value of the Middle East debate to near zero, Israeli observers said. They predicted that if the General Assembly adopted an anti-Israel resolution through the sheer weight of Arab and Soviet bloc votes, it would be ignored by most of the world which is watching the Indian subcontinent.

So, they were obviously on a budget. Her veil is a leftover door screen and a bleach lid, spray painted gold. She bought her gold and blue paisley mini dress at the Salvation Army and her shoes were hand-me-downs spray painted gold.

Hi doctors, would highly appreciate any inputs. I am considering getting lipo on my tummy, inner and outer thighs and get the fat transferred to the buttocks. I have a butt but i just want it more round and shapely. i asked my doctor if he could use tumescent with sedation rather than general but he said it is not possible since it is an extensive procedure and half. I read from other women's experience that it is very painful afterwards. how true is this? please advice me. i am 56kg and 153cm
Fat Transfer to Buttocks. How Painful/Extensive is This Experience?
Doctor Answers 2
Buttock Augmentation Options
Allow me to share with you what you may not hear from others. Currently the only two safe and effective methods for Buttock Augmentation are Autologous Fat Transfer (transfer of your own fat to the buttocks, aka "Brazilian Butt Lift") and Buttock Implants (semi-solid soft silicone rubber implants). Because of the safety of general anesthesia nowadays, I prefer to do both procedures this way as it makes for a clearly more efficient surgical procedure. Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection. Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates because they lack an adequate amount of fat to harvest. Thus buttock implants become a very good, safe, predictable, and long term reliable option for most patients seeking buttock augmentation (at least in my practice). I personally recommend either the round or the oval shaped implants dependent upon the natural anatomic shape of the patient's buttock cheeks. The implant is typically inserted through a 2 ½ inch long incision over the tailbone (concealed within the crevice between the top of the buttock cheeks). The implant should always be placed under or within the gluteus maximus muscle. In this position, the implant is less palpable, less visible, and does not sag or shift/migrate over time unlike implants placed on top of the muscle. Therefore it is extremely important to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this technique. Additionally, in this type of surgeons hands the often quoted "high risks" of complications especially infection are actually much lower around 5%. Hope this helps...RAS

Pain association with Fat Transfer to Buttocks
The level of discomfort will be based on the anesthesia used and the scope of the surgery. Our patients do not suggest that there is any greater discomfort with liposuction and butt lift as opposed to liposuction alone. During the consultation process, the surgeon should be able to prepare you for the level of discomfort that you will face.

Love In the Name of Christ Heartland (Love INC) will be able to hold four Food For Friends food give-a-ways, because of grants from Cargill and Wright Hennepin Electric.
The first Food for Friends event will take place at 5 p.m. Friday, June 15, at the Wright County Fair Grounds, 1010 First St., Howard Lake. Hosts will be First Presbyterian Church of Howard Lake.
The other three Food for Friends events will take place July 13 at Watertown Free Church, 509 Jefferson St., Watertown; Aug. 13 at Maple Plain Community Church, 1815 Budd Ave. N., Maple Plain and Oct. 13 at Our Father's Lutheran Church, 3903 Gilbert Ave. S.E., Rockford.
Volunteers are needed. Contact Lisa Green at the Love INC office, 763-972-6547, ext. 613 or [email protected] to sign up. Each day has two shifts to choose from. First shift is from 2:30 to 5 p.m. for set up. Then volunteers age 18 and above can serve in the second shift from 5 to 8 p.m. for distribution and clean up.
Any family in need of groceries is invited to all of the events. Registration takes place at the events. No phone call is necessary. Love INC asks that people choose between volunteering to help distribute or to receive groceries and not do both.
Visit the Love INC website at www.loveincheartland.org for more information and directions.
Love INC is a collaboration of 25 area churches that serves neighbors in need in Maple Plain, Independence, Corcoran, Loretto, Greenfield, Rockford, Montrose, Howard Lake, Waverly, Delano, Watertown and Mayer. Offices are at 318 Railroad Ave. in Delano.
For families who benefit from free and reduced school lunches, summer adds greatly to their financial stress, said Love INC Executive Director, Terri Harris.
"I once had a mother tell me through tears that she could not afford to feed her three teenagers during the summer," Harris said. "As the number of families in need continues to grow, we will be able to help ease some of the financial burdens. These donations from Cargill and West Hennepin Electric gift will greatly help Love INC – Heartland continue to provide services to those in need in 11 different local communities."
Love INC – Heartland also will use grant money to continue helping families through "School for Life" classes. In these weekly classes, neighbors in need are paired with an advisor while they also receive class instruction. Classes such as Money Management, Nutrition, Economical Cuisine and Successful Parenting are offered in eight-week modules.
Each week, as families complete homework and maintain attendance, they receive a week's worth of groceries as an incentive. On average, a family can pay down $10,000 in debt during a year of classes. Class participants report a significant decrease in family stress and an increased ability to pay off bills.
Love INC's ministries include Lullaby (baby gear and diapers), furniture, bedding, house wares, clothing, personal care items and more. Love INC is continually in need of diapers (especially larger sizes), twin and queen (double) size beds and new pillows and bedding. To donate items, contact the Love INC office, 763-972-6547. To make a financial donation visit the web site at www.loveincheartland.org, or mail a check to PO Box 143, Delano, MN 55328.
Love INC – Heartland is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, and 84 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to local programs and local people in need.

A Massachusetts judge has granted a petition for a temporary restraining order preventing JetDirect Aviation Acquisition Company (JDAAC) from completing the purchase of assets of JetDirect Aviation, at least until a preliminary injunction hearing is held tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. EDT. JDAAC has been planning to purchase assets of JetDirect Aviation to form a new charter/management company, but that purchase has been delayed repeatedly. The restraining order petition was filed along with a complaint by a class of current and former JetDirect employees who allege that "for the past several months, JetDirect has withheld money from its employees' paychecks that is intended to fund the employees' 401(k) plan, health insurance, disability insurance and flexible spending plans, yet has failed to deposit the withheld funds into the proper accounts." The complaint estimates that "830 employees have been victimized by this egregious conduct…" JDAAC chairman Robert Pinkas promised current and former JetDirect employees that they will be paid past-due payroll, benefit and expense money. JetDirect charter/management customers who are also owed money have been told they will be repaid if they elect to sign up with the new company. "The only way to be paid is if we go forward," Pinkas said. If the transaction is stopped and JetDirect is forced to liquidate by its creditors, "nobody gets anything. There is nothing to be gained from stopping and so much to be gained for all stakeholders past and present to go forward."

Under pressure from doctors and patients, Aetna has backed off a controversial effort to restrict the use of a powerful sedative during colonoscopies.
The new policy, which was supposed to go into effect April 1, would have limited the use of propofol, also known as Diprivan, during screenings for colon cancer. The insurer said the drug, which renders patients unconscious, added unnecessary expense because it requires the presence of an anesthesiologist.
Aetna's chief medical officer, Dr. Troyen Brennan, had claimed that moderate sedation, which allows the patient to stay awake but drowsy during the procedure, is safe and cost-effective for most cases.
In beating a retreat from the cost-saving measure, Brennan said he feared the policy would "inconvenience our members … and potentially depress cancer screening rates."

High-resolution imaging and beam steering using 3 microlens arrays (MLA) is demonstrated. Small lateral displacement of one microlens array is sufficient for large angle beam steering. A prescan lens is added to the system to overcome the discrete addressing problem associated with microlens scanning systems. A hybrid method that uses both geometrical ray tracing optimization and physical optics simulation is introduced for the design and optimization of the MLA system. Feasibility of 1880×1880 resolution using f/2 aspherical MLAs and 752×752 resolution using f/5 spherical MLAs are demonstrated assuming 100μm microlens pitch and 2mm clear aperture. The system is compact and suitable for endoscopic imaging and agile steering of large beams.
