Kaminoshima Church
Perched atop a hill at the entrance to Nagasaki Port is a church constructed in 1897 welcoming
foreign ships to what was once a Christian town. Near the location of the church down below it is
a statue of Our Lady on the Cape.

Walking the graveyards
Sometime during your visit you should take some time to walk the city and see the daily life. One place worth going is the cemetery on the mountain side. The higher you go on the hill, the older the graves become, with their etchings, stone work and style. But also, the higher you go, the better aerial view of the city you gain. If memory serves me correctly, the graveyard that we walked was on the eastern side of the city, facing the west.
Monument to Korean Victims of the Nagasaki Atomic
It is estimated that there were about 70,000 and 20,000 Korean people living in Nagasaki-ken and Nagasaki city area, respectively.
According to research by Nagasaki City, about 12,000 of those people were exposed to the atomic bomb explosion on August 9, 1945.
On the rear of the monument is the inscription: "For the Koreans who were brought to Japan against their will and exposed to the atomic bombing while engaged in hard labor, and for their bereaved families. August 9, 1979"
Nagasaki Pledge Flame
In ancient Greece, all warfare was suspended and a sacred fire lit during the Olympic Game held every four years.
As a result, the Olympic Flame came to be regarded as a symbol of peace.
In August 1983, with the cooperation of government of Greece, a torch was lit from the sacred fire in Olympic and brought to Nagasaki, the last place on Earth to suffer the horror of nuclear destruction.
It was highly unusual for the Olympic Flame to be carries overseas for reasons other than the Olympic Games.
In 1987, a tower to enshrine and protected the Olympic Flame was built through efforts by local citizens, who pledge to keep the flame burning "until all nuclear weapons are eliminated worldwide"
The monument is imbued with the pledge that, as long as this flame is burning as a symbol of peace, nuclear war will never occur and Nagasaki will remain the last place to suffer the horror of nuclear destruction.
The wall around the tower is embellished with roof tile fragments exposed to heat of atomic bombing as well as ceramic plaques carrying peace message.
The damaged Torii at Sanno Shrine
The damaged Torii ( stone archway on the path to a Shrine ) by the atomic bombing is located about 800 m southeast of Ground Zero.
The pillar and beams on the side near Ground Zero were slapped down by the blast, leaving only half of the structure standing.
This strange damage was caused by exposure to a brief but tremendous blast stone.
The blast wind shifted the beam at the top of Torii, grazed the surface of pillar facing Ground Zero and erased the names of donators that had been engraved there.
One of the few relics of the atomic wasteland still standing on its original site, this Torii speaks silently of the awesome power generated by the atomic bomb explosion.

Monument of a Child Praying for Peace
At the bottom of the steps leading down from the front of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki Peace Memorial Park is "Monument of a Child Praying for Peace" depicting a girl wearing a kimono and holding a folded paper crane.
At that time of the atomic bombing there were several schools in the Ground Zero area and some 10,000 school children are through to have perished in the bombing.
On the 20th anniversary of the atomic bombing, donations were collected widely from children who express their wish for peace, and this statue was unveiled on August 9, 1967 and remains to this day as a symbol the aspiration for eternal peace.

Atomic Bomb Museum
Atomic Bomb Museum was opened in April 1996 as part of the 50th anniversary project for the Nagasaki atomic bombing.
The museum replaced Nagasaki International Cultural Hall, where a number of artifacts related to the atomic bombing were exhibited.
In addition to these artifacts, the museum exhibits a number of photograph that depict the devastation caused by atomic bomb showing the lead-up to this tragic day, the history of the development of nuclear arms and our desire for peace.

The Ruins of Urakami Cathedral
When you look to the right facing the Ground zero Monument see a section of damaged brick wall from the former Urakami Cathedral.
The church was located about 500 m northeast of the Ground zero, on the same site as the modern refurbished Urakami Cathedral.
The construction of former building began in 1895 and continued until 1925, when the twin steeples reached completion.
Known at that time as the largest church in Orient, the imposing red-brick structure was devastated by the atomic bomb explosion, and a large number of parishioners were killed.
In 1958, part of the damaged eleven-meter-tall southern wall was moved to Nagasaki Peace Memorial Park.

Peace Fountain, in Nagasaki Peace Memorial Park
With the completion of the Peace Fountain on August 3, 1969, a monument inscribed with an epitaph was constructed in Nagasaki Peace Memorial Park.
The Pease Fountain reminds us of tragic scene unfolded shortly after the atomic bomb on Nagasaki at 11:02 am on Aug 09, 1945.
Many people were burned deeply and died, crying and groaning for water.
When people recovered their peaceful life in 1965, a campaign for a Peace Fountain was launched.
Recorded on monument are the names of the founders including the People's Congress for Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and Promotion of Peace and Committee for the Construction of Peace Fountain.
Part of the epitaph reads as follows:
To those who visit this peace today: May you offer prayers to console the souls of those killed and to promote peace.

Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum
Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum was opened in 2005 and is located in a corner of Nagasaki Seaside Park.
It is a new type of museum which not only exhibits works of art, but also holds various events whilst acting as a base for lifelong learning.
The museum also has a café and museum shop.
Martyrdom of the 26 Saints of Japan
The incident known as the Martydom of the 26 Saints of Japan was an execution of Kirishitan which took place in Nagasaki on February 5, 1597.
26 individuals ranging from 12 to 64 years of age were crucified on crosses.
They were canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.

Kofukuji Temple
After the Tokugawa Shogunate banned Christianity, non-Christian Chinese merchants began making port at Nagasaki around 1600.
Chinese people soon started living in Nagasaki and petitioned the Nagasaki government to let them built a Chinese temple to pray for safe navigation and console of the deceased.
Permission was granted for the construction of first Chinese temple.
Kokukuji Temple was completed in 1620, and Chinese traders then planned to invite a high-ranking priest from China as the temple's chief abbot.
The Kofukuji Temple's present main hall was built in 1883 by Chinese experts who were invited to Japan mainly by residents in Nagasaki hailing from Nanjin.
It was designated as an Important Cultural Asset.

Sofukuji Temple
Shortly after the construction of Kofukuji Temple, Chinese traders asked the Nagasaki governor for permission to built Chinese temples according to their home provinces.
It is recorded that this temple was built in 1629 by people who came from Fuzhou in Fujian Province.
The existing main hall ( called Daiyuhoden ) was first prefabricated in China, then transported by Chinese ship and constructed in 1646.
As the oldest existing structure to retain the Obaku style of the end of the Ming Dynasty, the temple's hall is highly evaluated.
It is designated as a National Treasure.

The Martyrs of Japan
Since I'm an Episcopalian, one of the things I wanted most to do in Nagasaki was to visit the monument to the Japanese martyrs -- those who brought Christianity to the Japanese archipelago. To get to the monument, you climb a fairly substantial hill; the view from the top is quite breath-taking, though, and it was quite deserted (other than the cats) and thus it was possible to spend some time in prayer without feeling foolish.

Hosted by Commonwealth Edison and their Smart Grid manufacturer (S & C Industries of Chicago), I joined top city officials from twenty-five neighboring towns in Eastern DuPage and Western Cook County for a briefing on the new Smart Grid technology. This new technology has become the centerpiece of Commonwealth Edison's goal of providing reliable electricity service.
For years here in Elmhurst we have struggled with unreliable service. One problem was the old power lines. To improve reliability of service, Commonwealth Edison has installed miles of the new Hendrix cabling system, which is designed to protect power lines and decrease outages by as much as 80%. According to Com Ed, Elmhurst has one of the highest percentages of Hendrix cable in the Chicagoland area.
This meeting, and the ongoing efforts that our city council and our city staff have made, are encouraging signs that Com Ed is investing in the latest technology. Though other subjects were covered, this meeting was designed to show city officials how their state of the art technology functions in a conventional set-up. Described as a self healing grid, the essential function of the local Smart Grid transformers is to automatically re-route electricity around a power outage so that one sub-station power outage will not paralyze an entire community or system.
As we found out with the Super Bowl, no system is a guaranteed system, so Elmhurst residents should always be prepared for extreme weather. Whether it's keeping extra candles in your house, knowing where fresh batteries are located, or making sure you have access to a working generator or a friendly neighbor, it is important that our citizens are prepared to act safely.
I also encourage all residents to learn more about the 100% Green Power Program that is now offered as a result of our switch to an Electricity Aggregation Program. So far only 34 Elmhurst homes have elected to participate in this enhanced renewable energy program. Keep in mind that this program has nothing to do with the actual distribution of electrical service by Com Ed; it is an ecological choice consumers can make that will direct the new provider to purchase more energy from renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind). Under the standard Electricity Aggregation formula, Renewable Energy Certificates (Green Power) cover 50% of the electricity supply requirements.
So along with all city officials, please know that I will continue to work vigorously on behalf of homeowners across Elmhurst to make sure that Com Ed is being responsive to customer demands.

Have you ever read the book, Tuesday by David Wiesner? The first
time I saw this book, I didn't know what to think. "What? There's
no words! But every story needs words!"
Then I opened it up and looked at every page. It was magical.
The pictures are wonderful and they tell their own story. It
actually quite amazing how you can get so much story out of a book
with no words.
It's such a silly and fun story that it really tells itself. So
much is happening on each page. The author shares so much without
saying anything.
What do you think? Have you read this book or other picture
books like it?
I love wordless picture books. I'm working on a post (for almost
a year) now.
A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka
just won a Caldecott.
We also love David Weisner's Flotsam. You will love that if you
love Tuesday.
The Lion and The Mouse by Jerry Pickney is so gorgeously
illustrated with layers and layers of glazed watercolors. It's a
retelling of the Aesop fable and also won a Caldecott.
his lion incredible? Watercolor! Layers and layers of translucent
As much as I appreciate the art in these books, and know how
wonderful they are for children's imaginations, they just don't
work for me as children's books. I've found that I like having the
story there when I'm reading aloud and my kids like that the text
is the same every time, even if I read it with different
intonations, we stop and chat at different points, etc. I
think these are wonderful, in principle...but it just isn't my
You'd think as an art history person, I would just eat these
up...and I do appreciate the beauty of the artwork. Something about
the way I'm wired...
Ooo, I didn't know he wrote another book. I'll have to check it
I know what you mean, Candace. They are a different type of
story. I love them just as much, but I do treat them
When I was teaching, it was a fun and different kind of story. I
had to really work with the kids to get them to think of the story.
So it was good for a different way to share!

'Quick Fix' solutions
Suggestions poured in — more than 100 in all — when Chancellor Thomas Harden called for "Quick Fix" solutions and small but creative ideas to better the campus. University officials investigated each proposal and adopted roughly two dozen projects for immediate action.
Import student ID photos to the SIS database
September 2, 2010|
Various faculty members have observed for years that portrait-type photographs would be a useful addition to the PeopleSoft Student Information System, helping them learn and remember their students' names more quickly.
Further enhance the Academic Excellence Symposium
September 2, 2010|
Changes are planned for April 2011 in order to maximize exposure for, and benefits from, the annual showcase of talented students and top research projects.
Continue to promote on-campus opportunities for student internships
September 2, 2010|
UW-Green Bay already sponsors a healthy number of for-credit internships across campus (averaging 85 per academic year.)
'You Pick the Music Days' for the University carillon
September 2, 2010|
Every great university has a carillon, it is said, and UW-Green Bay dedicated its new Weidner Memorial Carillon last year.
Facilitate volunteer service by employees
September 2, 2010|
The Human Resources Office will use its website to draw attention to volunteer opportunities on campus and in the community. The website might also emphasize state pay-status and work-hours flexibilities already in place for such activities as voting, jury duty, disaster relief, blood or organ donation, military service and professional development.
Celebrate service to community with all-campus charitable drives
September 2, 2010|
The University will renew its commitment to acknowledging and supporting initiatives as they arise. A good example was the Registrar's Office and its food drive in December 2009, with individuals volunteering their personal time and resources to pull it off.
Create a new outdoor break area near the Cofrin Library
September 2, 2010|
For the use of those brown-bagging it outdoors or enjoying short breaks from work or study, two picnic tables with umbrellas have been ordered for the sunny, red-brick plaza area on the library's southwest side.
Increase visibility of art from the permanent collection
September 2, 2010|
UW-Green Bay has a fine collection of artworks including award-winning pieces by our own students, many of which are displayed in individual offices and suites.
Create a community vegetable garden on campus
September 2, 2010|
In 2009, UW-Green Bay students with counsel from faculty and staff members took the lead in creating the SLO Food Alliance. (The acronym stands for "sustainable, local, organic.")
Continue to enhance the new-student welcome
September 2, 2010|
Addressing two Quick Fix ideas at once — the second suggestion involved more attention to cultivating student tradition — FOCUS administrators will unveil new wrinkles to the already successful freshman-welcome program.

Daniel Wang, a junior at , has been named a finalist in the 2012 Google Science Fair.
The fair drew thousands of applicants from more than 10 countries, and Wang was one of only 90 who were chosen as finalists.
"I was really excited, and surprised, to find out that I was a regional finalist," Wang said. "To be honest, I wasn't really expecting it, since I knew so many people from around the world had applied."
Wang's project, titled "Improving Computational Simulations of Biomolecules via Radius of Gyration Restraints," focuses on improving computer-based simulations of proteins. He conducted his research work over the summer at Stony Brook University under the mentorship of Dr. Carlos Simmerling and will be continuing his work this summer as a Simons Fellow in the Simons Summer Research Program.
"I was first introduced to science research in seventh grade and, since then, I have been captivated by the sense of discovery that it brings," Wang added. "I love it because I know that I am directly contributing to the world and that there is always something new to be discovered.
As a Top 90 regional finalist, Google will be sending Wang a framed certificate and a Google Chromebook. He is also now eligible to be considered for the Top 15 Finalists. If selected, he will get to travel to Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA to compete in a live presentation. There, prizes worth $50,000 will be awarded.
What do you think of Wang's work? Tell us in the comments.

There is a paucity of well written, well researched books on science concepts for popular readership. The 4% Universe is one such book. Reaching back to Copernican days of astronomy, Panek chronicles the seeming collision course of astronomy, an observational science, and physics, an experimental science. It was this collision course which brought us the concepts of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which are now, for all intents and purposes, integral to the cosmological 'Standard Model' of reality. The author explores these concepts in ways that the average reader can understand, as well as giving the histories of the individuals and departments involved in the search for why the mass of matter in the universe is far greater than what we can observe instrumentally. The 4% Universe is a quick read and puts a human face on two sciences that we sometimes consider lofty and beyond our ken. I definitely recommend this book.

of TV Shows,

Remember Ozzie &
Harriet and Ricky Nelson?
Well, in their old TV sitcom, the Nelsons lived at the fictitious address
of the 822 Sycamore Road. But in reality, you can find that house from
at 1822 Camino Palmero Drive,
in Hollywood. It was the Nelson's family's actual home. That short, hilly
street is located above Hollywood Boulevard, half a mile east of Mann's
Chinese Theatre.
"She took
her daddy's car,
and she cruised to the hamburger stand, now.
Seems she forgot all about the library,
like she told her Old Man, now.
And with the radio blasting,
she goes cruising just as fast as she can, now.
And she'll have fun, fun, fun,
'till her daddy takes the T-Bird away!" *
Capitol Records, Inc.)
those lyrics to the Beach Boys'
song, "FUN FUN FUN"
? Well, the Beach Boys grew up in Hawthorne, CA., and the "hamburger
stand" mentioned in that song was actually a Foster's Freeze
(which they nicknamed "Frostie's"). It seems that Brian Wilson
spotted a friend driving by in her daddy's T-Bird... This Foster's Freeze
is located at 11969 Hawthorne Blvd.
(just north of 120th Street), in Hawthorne. It's on the west side of
that street, just across from the Hawthorne Plaza Mall. It's still open
for business. []

Banksy Bristol
I know there is going to be a really huge queue which will be a bit shit outside the Bristol City Museum at the end of the month when me and Becky head down to see the Banksy exhibition, but it will be well worth it.
The exhibition is called Banksy Versus Bristol Museum and its a rare occasion to get lots of his work in one place, and runs until the end of August.
On my travels around the world I've seen a couple of his pieces including the one in London for the graffiti removal hotline which was just around the corner from SES.
Becky is trying to sort out travel and hotels for the trip but I have a suspicion that I'll be driving all the way there and back…. maybe its time to get that Lamborghini LP640 so I'll get there quicker than the 4 hours it will take. Maybe a white Lamborghini to keep Kieron happy!
There have been discussions all over whether graffiti is art or vandalism and some people say comment spam isn't link building but vandalism … I think we all have had a bit of banksy inside us one time or another !!!
And for god sake Banksy sort your website out son

MT. PLEASANT — After two days of jury selection, Seth Techel's retrial on charges of murder and non-consensual termination of a human pregnancy began Wednesday.
Techel is accused of killing his wife, Lisa, in 2012 at the trailer the couple shared near Agency. His first trial ended with a hung jury. The retrial is taking place in Mt. Pleasant, about an hour east of Ottumwa.
Prosecutors say Techel was the only person with the opportunity and motive to kill Lisa. The defense says investigators failed to adequately pursue other leads, including a neighbor with whom Techel had quarreled.
Scott Brown offered the prosecution's opening arguments, telling jurors Seth Techel is the only reasonable suspect and that the evidence will show he killed his wife.
"Who murdered Lisa Techel? The evidence in this case will show that it was Seth Techel," he said.
Brown walked jurors through the events leading up to Lisa's death. He said the only real question in dispute is who killed her. Both sides say she was shot and died as a result, two of the elements of first degree murder.
Only Seth and Lisa were inside the trailer when Lisa was killed, Brown told jurors. "Don't ignore the obvious." He spent considerable time focusing on the 18 minutes prosecutors say passed between when Lisa was shot and Seth called for help.
Brown said that amount of time isn't consistent with someone who is panicked by his wife being shot.
"He's in a hurry. But 18 minutes? What else was he doing in those 18 minutes? Getting rid of the gun?" Brown said.
Defense attorney Steven Gardner sought to refute Brown's opening, saying the case is anything but simple. It will take three to four weeks to get through, he said, which means it are a lot of pieces evidence and complex issues to deal with.
Gardner told jurors the defense has facts on its side while prosecutors will rely on innuendo and suggestions.
"For whatever reason the state did not say anything in their opening statement about fact," he said.
Gardner also sought to shift the jury's attention to Brian Tate, a neighbor whom the defense says is a more likely suspect for Lisa's death. Tate was "seriously mentally ill," and had a running dispute with Seth Techel over property.
The 18-minute timeline also came in for defense criticism. Gardner said that only works if Techel shot Lisa almost as soon as the alarm went off. The defense contends Techel let the dog out and had been in the shower for about five minutes when he heard the gunshot. That reduces the amount of time between the alarm and the 911 call.

ROOT: An Object-Oriented Data Analysis Framework
The binaries and sources of ROOT can be downloaded from http://root.cern.ch/root/Version200.html. After downloading, uncompress and unarchive (using tar) the file root_v2.00.Linux.2.0.33.tar.gz in your home directory (or in a system-wide location such as /opt). This procedure will produce the directory /root. This directory contains the following files and subdirectories:
AA_README: read this file before starting
bin: directory containing executables
include: directory containing the ROOT header files
lib: directory containing the ROOT libraries (in shared library format)
macros: directory containing system macros (e.g., GL.C to load OpenGL libs)
icons: directory containing xpm icons
test: some ROOT test programs
tutorials: example macros that can be executed by the bin/root module
Before using the system, you must set the environment variable ROOTSYS to the root directory, e.g., export ROOTSYS=/home/rdm/root, and you must add $ROOTSYS/bin to your path. Once done, you are all set to start rooting.
In this first session, start the ROOT interactive program root. This program gives access via a command-line prompt to all available ROOT classes. By typing C++ statements at the prompt, you can create objects, call functions, execute scripts, etc. Go to the directory $ROOTSYS/tutorials and type:
bash$ root root [0] 1+sqrt(9) (double)4.000000000000e+00 root [1] for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)<\n> printf("Hello %d\n", i) Hello 0 Hello 1 Hello 2 Hello 3 Hello 4 root [2] .q
As you can see, if you know C or C++, you can use ROOT. No new command-line or scripting language to learn. To exit, use .q, which is one of the few "raw" interpreter commands. The dot is the interpreter escape symbol. There are also some dot commands to debug scripts (step, step over, set breakpoint, etc.) or to load and execute scripts.
Let's now try something more interesting. Again, start root:
bash$ root root [0] TF1 f1("func1", "sin(x)/x", 0, 10) root [1] f1.Draw() root [2] f1.Dump() root [3] f1.Inspect() // Select File/Close Canvas root [4] .q
Here you create an object of class TF1, a one-dimensional function. In the constructor, you specify a name for the object (which is used if the object is stored in a database), the function and the upper and lower value of x. After having created the function object you can, for example, draw the object by executing the TF1::Draw member function. Figure 1 shows how this function looks. Now, move the mouse over the picture and see how the shape of the cursor changes whenever you cross an object. At any point, you can press the right mouse button to pop-up a context menu showing the available member functions for the current object. For example, move the cursor over the function so that it becomes a pointing finger, and then press the right button. The context menu shows the class and name of the object. Select item SetRange and put -10, 10 in the dialog box fields. (This is equivalent to executing the member function f1.SetRange(-10,10) from the command-line prompt, followed by f1.Draw().) Using the Dump member function (that each ROOT class inherits from the basic ROOT class TObject), you can see the complete state of the current object in memory. The Inspect function shows the same information in a graphics window.
Let's start root again and run the following two macros:
bash$ root root [0] .x hsimple.C root [1] .x ntuple1.C // interact with the pictures in the canvas root [2] .q
Note: if the above doesn't work, make sure you are in the tutorials directory.
Macro hsimple.C (see $ROOTSYS/tutorials/hsimple.C) creates some 1D and 2D histograms and an Ntuple object. (An Ntuple is a collection of tuples; a tuple is a set of numbers.) The histograms and Ntuple are filled with random numbers by executing a loop 25,000 times. During the filling, the 1D histogram is drawn in a canvas and updated each 1,000 fills. At the end of the macro, the histogram and Ntuple objects are stored in a ROOT database.
The ntuple1.C macro uses the database created in the previous macro. It creates a canvas object and four graphics pads. In each of the four pads, a distribution of different Ntuple quantities is drawn. Typically, data analysis is done by drawing in a histogram with one of the tuple quantities when some of the other quantities pass a certain condition. For example, our Ntuple contains the quantities px, py, pz, random and i. The command:
ntuple->Draw("px", "pz < 1")
will fill a histogram containing the distribution of the px values for all tuples for which pz < 1. Substitute for the abstract quantities used in this example quantities such as name, sex, age, length, etc., and you can easily understand that Ntuples can be used in many different ways. An Ntuple of 25,000 tuples is quite small. In typical physics analysis situations, Ntuples can contain many millions of tuples. Besides the simple Ntuple, the ROOT system also provides a Tree. A Tree is an Ntuple generalized to complete objects. That is, instead of sets of tuples, a Tree can store sets of objects. The object attributes can be analyzed in the same way as the tuple quantities. For more information on Trees, see the ROOT HOWTOs at http://root.cern.ch/root/Howto.html.
During data analysis, you often need to test the data with a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a theoretical/empirical function that describes a model. To see if the data matches the model, you use minimization techniques to tune the model parameters so that the function best matches the data; this is called fitting. ROOT allows you to fit standard functions like polynomials, Gaussian exponentials or custom defined functions to your data. In the top right pad in Figure 2, the data has been fit with a polynomial of degree two (red curve). This was done by calling the Fit member function of the histogram object:
Moving the cursor over the canvas allows you to interact with the different objects. For example, the 3D plot in the lower-right corner can be rotated by clicking the left mouse button and moving the cursor.
I am often a little nervous when approaching a software package for the first time. This is exactly the sort of article to help me overcome my fears. From what I hear, ROOT is probably one of the most powerful databases out there - I am impressed for instance by the way in which the data can be highly compressed - but you also seem to have devoted a huge amount of effort into making it as user friendly as possible.
I have been reviewing my use of databases over the last few days because of some concern about MySQL, these concerns being prompted by the legal action being taken by Oracle against Google, and Oracle's reduction in support for OpenSolaris. I had never considered ROOT as an alternative to MySQL, until recently thinking of it as a rather specialised tool. I was pleased to note however that there are bindings for Ruby amongst other languages.
I wonder about your figures for OS shares? I have just installed ROOT, but instead of downloading it from its official site I have installed it from the Debian repository. If many people do this, then the numbers you record for Linux usage may underestimate its Linux usage.
Thank you.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Friedrich Max Müller was one of the great scholars of the nineteenth century. His studies on the history and nature of religion were of great interest to both scholarly and more popular circles, and he was for a long time an influential figure in the cultural life of Victorian Britain. Therefore, a new study of his life and especially of his works needs no apology.
The book gives a survey of Müller's life and his main ideas on language, mythology, religion, Christianity and the missions, as well as his philosophy of religion. The last chapter deals with the legacy of Müller's ideas in the twentieth century.
The book is particularly useful for historians of religion interested in the origin of the science of religion and for historians specialized in the history of ideas.

Where do you turn when you're faced with a financial emergency? Do you have money set aside to cover the unexpected expenses? Is there some sort of insurance in place? Without the right financial safety net you could find yourself in financial ruin. What good is it to earn, save, and invest money if it isn't protected in the event of a financial crisis? Learn how to create your financial safety net so you can protect what you have.
Emergency Fund
Financial advisors suggest having enough savings in an easily accessible account to cover your living expenses for at least six months in the event of illness, job loss, or other serious emergency. This is money that you should have in a savings account or other liquid account that you can tap into without penalty in the event of an emergency.
Without an emergency fund your options for paying for an unexpected expense may end up going on a credit card. That will almost certainly carry a hefty interest rate and make your situation even worse. Beyond that, many people are left with tapping into their retirement assets to pay for these emergency expenses. This is a bad idea since you could seriously put your future in jeopardy.
So, start by setting some money aside for your emergency fund. The best way to do this is to create an automatic savings plan. When you make it automatic, you don't even realize you're saving money and before you know it you've got a nice financial cushion.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Long-term disability insurance helps replace your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. Many people consider this coverage a luxury, when in fact, it should be considered a necessity for those who don't have other financial resources they could tap in the event of an illness or injury. Even if you do have other financial resources, would you want to use them to pay your monthly expenses if you were to become disabled? A disability can quickly eat through all of your savings or even lead you to tap into your retirement funds which could have a significant impact down the road.
Don't think it could happen to you? Although your chances of having a disability increase as you get older, illness and injury can happen at any age. Car accidents, sports injuries, back injuries, pregnancy, and disease are just a few examples.
Ask yourself this question: could you live without your income for three months? Six months? A year? If the answer is no, you need disability insurance. Employers often offer this coverage via a payroll deduction, which may be tax-deductible. You may automatically get short-term disability coverage through our employer, but check to see if they have additional coverage options.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is necessary if you have dependents who will suffer financially if you die. Whether it's a spouse of children, if they depend on the money you earn from your job, they need to be financial secure if you're no longer there for them. If you have no financial dependents, life insurance isn't completely necessary, although many people also use insurance as part of their estate planning and cash accumulation regardless of their dependent status.
If you plan to buy insurance other than term insurance provided by your employer, you should educate yourself about the pros and cons of term, whole life, and other types of insurance. You may also want to talk to an adviser about how much insurance is enough.
Once you're created a financial cushion with your emergency savings to handle life's unexpected expenses, protected your ability to earn an income with disability insurance, and have life insurance in place to secure your dependents' financial security, you can sleep easier knowing that you have a financial safety net in place that can help keep you on track through even the most difficult situations.

SALEM — Among its many exciting activities, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem is offering a summer music program.
This program was inspired this past winter around the idea of making music affordable and accessible to anyone who is willing to learn. Over time, college students also pursuing music, joined the list of instructors.
The music program includes weekly private lessons and ensemble rehearsals available for students in grades 1-12. Private lessons are offered for flute, piano (for beginners), saxophone, trumpet, French horn, guitar, bass and trombone.
Ensembles are available to all woodwind and brass instruments. These include duets, trios, quartets, quintets, flute choir, jazz combos and more. These will develop a child's confidence, independence, and musicianship. The availability of these ensembles depend on the instrumentation and level of all students participating.
The program started this week and ends with a concert on Friday, Aug. 9. All lessons and rehearsals will take place at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem in the music room, located in the Teen Center. They will be scheduled Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., although extended times may be available.
All lessons are $15 per 30 minutes and students participating in ensembles pay a flat rate of $64 for the entire eight weeks.
All students participating must be a member of the Boys & Girls Club, though they do not need to be registered for summer camp. Students who are members and attending summer camp will be scheduled around their field trips.
The Boys & Girls Club is truly a "positive place for kids" in that they provide so many opportunities for children to learn and grow. For more information or to register, email email@example.com, call 898-7709 or visit the Club at 3 Geremonty Drive.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Energy stocks held on to gains Monday, boosted by a gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity that hit its highest level in more than two years, but lost steam as the session drew to a close.
The closely tracked Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index rose to 57.3% from 56.4% in October, its highest since April 2011. That compared to expectations around 55%.
After survey results were released, several energy stocks turned higher, including Hess Corp. /quotes/zigman/417764/delayed/quotes/nls/hes HES -2.05% shares. Hess, however, ended down 0.3% as a late slide for the broader equity markets hit energy stocks as well.
Hess said Monday it reached two separate agreements to sell its interests in offshore Indonesian oil fields for $1.3 billion.

• Columns: Stocks | Oil | Gold | Bonds | Dollar
TOOLS AND DATA | Markets data menu
• My Portfolio: Know where your funds are?
• Real-time currency exchange rates
• After-hours stock screener
The two fields together produced an average of 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day this year, Hess said. They were sold to Indonesia's Pertamina and Thailand's PTT Exploration and Production, which formed a joint venture.
Hess will use the $1.3 billion to continue to buy shares under its $4 billion share buyback plan.
The price surprised Wall Street, with analysts at Tudor Pickering Holt noting Monday they had estimated the Indonesian fields to sell for about $680 million.
Proceeds from Hess's Southeast Asia sales are likely to exceed their expectations of around $2 billion, analysts at Global Hunter Securities said. Hess still has assets in Thailand to sell.
Hess was in a proxy battle earlier this year with activist fund Elliott Management.
Elliott had pushed Hess to become a pure exploration and production company, and Hess has shed a few business lines and sold assets, although it has said it had planned on the strategy before Elliott's criticism became public.
Meanwhile, top gainers Monday included Marathon Petroleum Corp. /quotes/zigman/5611608/delayed/quotes/nls/mpc MPC +5.70% , up 5.6%, and refiner Phillips 66 /quotes/zigman/9483013/delayed/quotes/nls/psx PSX -0.75% , up 2.5%.
Major oil companies ended mixed, with shares of Exxon Mobil Corp. /quotes/zigman/203975/delayed/quotes/nls/xom XOM -4.17% advancing less than 0.1%. Shares of Chevron Corp. /quotes/zigman/289939/delayed/quotes/nls/cvx CVX -2.48% declined 0.1%, while shares of ConocoPhillips /quotes/zigman/294662/delayed/quotes/nls/cop COP -2.52% were off 0.3%.
Among the handful of energy decliners Monday, Kinder Morgan Inc. /quotes/zigman/3811989/delayed/quotes/nls/kmi KMI -3.54% retreated 1% while Range Resources Corp. /quotes/zigman/232108/delayed/quotes/nls/rrc RRC -0.62% fell 1.1%.
The SPDR Energy Select Sector /quotes/zigman/246199/delayed/quotes/nls/xle XLE -2.16% , an exchange-traded fund focusing on energy names, rose 0.1%.

County mayor vetoes budget, 18-cent tax increase
By Max Hrenda
Citing contradictions with Tennessee state law, on Thursday afternoon, County Mayor Leon Humphrey vetoed the budget that was approved Monday by the Carter County Commission.
The budget, which included an 18-cent increase in the county's property tax, was approved after several hours of deliberation and compromise.
According to Humphrey, the commission's decision was contradictory to a section of the Tennessee Code Annotated that refers to the adjustment of a county's Debt Service Fund.
For more details on this story, look in Friday's edition of the STAR.
2 Responses to County mayor vetoes budget, 18-cent tax increase
they should have raised sales tax where everybody pays.Tired of these welfare people getting no tax
Finally someone who is willing to stand up for the people he represents. Before anything is decided the county commissioners that are suppose to represent us should learn to live within their budget like we have too. We don't get a raise to pay for these increases every time they decide they need more money, while supposedly doing the peoples business. What are we getting for all these increases? Nothing. I don't like the thought of another tax, but a wheel tax would be more fair. That way it's not the property owners that have to foot the bill for everything. If we get nothing for our hard earned money everyone else should share in getting nothing also. It would be a shame if they don't get the money to mail the property tax cards so we know how much they are ripping us off for….

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's education proposal arrived at the House of Delegates on Monday after the Senate agreed to last-minute changes pushed by groups representing teachers and school workers.
As amended, the measure passed unanimously by the Senate scraps the governor's invitation of the nonprofit Teach for America program into state classrooms. Lawmakers would instead study ways to offer alternative paths for certifying teachers.
To ensure 180 days of student instruction, Tomblin had proposed freeing up 12 days in the school calendar now assigned for other uses. Mondays changes would set aside six of those days for outside-of-school activities, but would also permit the use of those days to make up for snow days. Weather routinely leaves county schools short of state law's 180-day mandate.
The Senate kept the governor's language ending teacher pay for snow days, and allows counties to add days from outside of the calendar to reach 180 days. For that goal, and to permit "balanced" or year-round school calendars, Monday's bill also expands the annual employment period to 48 weeks from 43 weeks.
The Senate also expanded the factors to be considered when teachers and administrators are hired, from Tomblin's proposed eight to 11. Seniority remains on the list, joined by national certification. The Senate tweaked other proposed factors that include specialized training relevant to the job sought, past evaluations and "other measures or indicators."
Recommendations from principals and faculty senates would be separate criteria among those factors. County school boards could weigh the 11 factors as they choose — unless applicants for a classroom teaching post include already-employed educators. In such cases, the factors must be given equal weight except for the principal and faculty senate recommendations, which would receive double weight.
Monday's amendment further guarantees a classroom teaching job to the applicant who wins both those recommendations as well as the county superintendent's.

A purchase order is a document sent to a supplier or vendor, authorizing shipment of a product to the customer at a specified price and terms. The creation of a purchase order creates a legally binding contract which cannot be changed without the consent of both parties.
A customer may sometimes create an open or standing purchase order which allows the customer to order quantities of the product(s) from the vendor over a period of time (usually a year) at the specified price. Open POs are often used for services which occur over a period of time.
The typical sections of a purchase order are:
- Date
- The purchase order number
- Names and addresses of both the customer and the supplier/vendor.
- Description of the items being ordered, the cost for each, and the total amount.

Saucy students
Regarding your Oct. 2 headline "Policy on grilling students advances": That finally defines the long-standing school cafeteria question, "What is mystery meat?" Unfortunately, it does not clarify the North Carolina barbecue debate. Word has it that the students' parents generally prefer the tomato-based sauce while the school principals lean toward vinegar-based.

Countdown to #Glasgow2014 - Domonic Bedggood · 21 Jul 2014
The countdown continues and today we shine the spotlight on Queenslander Domonic Bedggood!
Australia can thank a crippling back injury for introducing Domonic Bedggood to diving.
At the time he was competing at Brisbane's high performance centre, when an accident on the high bar left him with a fractured back.
It was just three years ago, and while the injury brought down the curtain on Domonic's 10-year gymnastics career, it allowed him to try his hand at diving. Doctors ...

I think I learned a great deal from these hard working men, experiences that many of today's youth are missing. They will miss these essential youth experiences and the important lessons imbedded there in. Along with many common sense and practical lessons about life that I learned, I am proud to say that I retired my last pickup in good running condition with just over 249,000 miles on it.
Those wise men that I met with a grease gun always nearby showed me what careful use and regular maintenance can do, lessons not just about machinery but also about life.
Remember, all kids count.

Some sportscasters, you get the feeling you'd have to pry the mike from their cold, dead fingers before they quit the game.
With Holliday, he'll give it up as soon as it stops being fun.
A calm approach
It's a little after 7 on a chilly weeknight at Piv's Pub in Timonium. The WBAL-Radio radio broadcast of The Gary Williams Show is about to begin, except there seems to be a slight problem, the slight problem being Gary Williams is nowhere to be found.
A call to Williams' cell phone reveals the Terps coach is stuck in rush-hour traffic. The Washington beltway was a parking lot and the Baltimore beltway is its usual charming, traffic-choked mess. He says he's about 15 minutes away.
Unfazed, Holliday smoothly starts the show, recapping the Terps' recent fortunes, analyzing their embarrassing loss to surprising Notre Dame and taking a call from a listener.
When Williams finally arrives to a warm hand from the audience, he looks like a man who is seconds away from a major aneurysm.
But after a few sympathetic remarks about the traffic, Holliday calmly steers the conversation back to Maryland basketball with a couple of innocuous questions, and they take another call. Soon, Williams is refocused on the show, and his blood pressure begins inching down from its previous vein-bursting levels.
The moment illustrates the comfortable relationship between Holliday and Williams, who have known each other since the latter, a guard for the Terps in the mid-'60s, returned to College Park 14 years ago to rebuild a program still reeling from the death of Bias.
"Johnny's part of the program," Williams says. "He's been through the tough times as well as the good times, and I respect that. It gets to be more than an announcer and coach - we're friends.
"We kid each other. There's not a lot of things sacred between the two of us, which is good. John's earned it all on the sidelines."
Friedgen also calls Holliday a friend and says: "It's an honor for me to work with him."
But the moment at Piv's Pub also highlights the fine line Holliday walks calling games and doing radio and TV gigs with the coaches at Maryland, which, after all, pays his salary.
Don't be too critical, is the unspoken message broadcasters receive from coaches and fans alike. Don't tick off the coach, stay on his good side, or the next broadcast you sign off on may be your last. It leaves broadcasters like Holliday open to charges of being "homers" who unquestioningly support the home team and never give credit to its opponents.
"I think Johnny does a really good job - almost a perfect job - of support for the home team, support for the school colors, but ... he's not afraid to say it like it is," says Knoche. "And if things are going poorly, it doesn't get sugar-coated."
Williams agrees. He says most listeners think "it's OK if Johnny roots for Maryland a little bit. But they want to know what's going on out there, too. They don't want just a one-sided deal. And I think Johnny gives that.
"You know he's a Maryland guy. He wouldn't deny that. But at the same time, if the other team plays well, I think the people know it out there."
Calls it as he sees it

Specializing in traditional music from the Hudson/Catskill/ Adirondack regions, they're also likely to play sea songs, ragtime tunes, novelty numbers, and even more recently songs from people like Pete Seeger that reflect life from long ago.
