1. New Orleans Hornets Anthony Davis (610? PF, Kentucky, Freshman)
Breakdown: The people in New Orleans are rejoicing at winning the Anthony Davis Sweepstakes. There really isnt much that needs to be said here as hes the clear #1 guy in the draft. If Eric Gordon stays, they all of a sudden have a scary duo that is the great starting point for the future. They also have the 10th pick, so they could still add another talent on the wing or at the point to help them out. A guy like Kendall Marshall, for example, would really look nice playing next to Davis and Gordon. Weakness: lack of ideal bulk to consistently bang with NBA big men
2. Charlotte Bobcats Thomas Robinson (69″ PF, Kentucky, Junior)
Reasoning: The Bobcats and Bobcats fans were bummed to miss out on Anthony Davis, but the addition of Thomas Robinson will still result in a great improvement to the worst roster in the NBA. The Bobcats need help at basically every position so they are free to take BPA without worry. Robinson is a physical specimen that plays with heart and hustle. Robinson should start from day 1 and immediately help the NBAs 2nd worst rebounding team. The only concern with Robinson is his height, if he measures a legit 6 9 or 610 at the Chicago combine, I believe the #2 pick is his to lose.
3. Washington Wizards Bradley Beal (64″ SG, Florida, Freshman)
Reasoning: John Wall and the Wizards desperately need a guy like Beal to help space the floor. They could also do well with his leadership and toughness as the Wizards have been floundering for a long time now. His relative lack of height is mitigated by the size and athleticism of Wall, and they could potentially have the best young backcourt in the league. Weakness: Does he have the height or length to consistently get his shot off?
4. Cleveland Cavaliers Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (67″ SF, Kentucky, Freshman)
Reasoning: The Cavs are thrilled to see MKG still available. Kidd-Gilchrist is both strong and athletic and plays with boundless energy. MKG has future All Defensive Team SF written all over him, he has both the ability and the desire to be a shutdown perimeter defender. With Kyrie Irving running the break and MKG finishing the Cavs have the chance to create some Top 10 Highlight Moments this season. Weakness: Doesnt have a natural shooting motion and his jumpshoot will most likely be broken down and reconstructed by a shooting coach.
5. Sacramento Kings Andre Drummond (611″ PF/C, Connecticut, Freshman)
Reasoning: The Kings are another team that has been floundering, but have amassed a good number of talented youngsters. DeMarcus Cousins has shown that he can be a first scoring option for a team and they really seem to be a fan of the Thomas/Thornton backcourt, despite issues with their combined size. They might be better off going with a safer prospect like Barnes, but Drummond probably has too much potential to be passed on at this point. Weakness: high risk, high reward player he could become the steal of the draft (even at 5) or he could be out of the league after his rookie deal
6. Portland Trailblazers Damian Lillard (62″ PG, Weber State, Junior)
Reasoning: Portland is in desperate need of a new backcourt and in an ideal world Bradley Beal would still be available. With Beal gone, the Trailblazers choose to upgrade the PG position with the explosive scorer from Weber State. Lillard has great size (62 & 190) for the PG position and is a deadly shooter with great range, knocking down 41% of his 3 point attempts and is an 89% shooter from the strip. With LMA drawing double teams in the post, Lillard has the deep range to make teams pay. Weakness: Not a true pg but, I think a lot of this is the inferior talent he played with in college.
7. Golden State Warriors Harrison Barnes (68″ SF, North Carolina, Sophomore)
Reasoning: This pick makes too much sense. Barnes is a great fit for the type of offense the Warriors run and slides in at that open SF position to create a deadly offensive team. Barnes provides steady production on both sides of the court and is probably better suited to play off the ball anyway so he can develop. If Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut can stay healthy, they have a team with a ton of size that is a playoff contender. Weakness: does he have the desire to be great?
8. Toronto Raptors Perry Jones III (611? PF, Baylor, Sophomore)
Reasoning: Outside of Andre Drummond this may be the biggest boom or bust pick in the draft. PJIII has the size, athleticism, and explosiveness to challenge Davis as the top prospect in the entire draft but, doesnt have the heart and desire to match his genetic gifts. I think that Toronto will be enamored by his physical gifts and he will remind them of another young prospect they drafted with a similar skill set that was also labled as soft and not competitive but, ultimately became a star- Tracy McGrady. I think PJIII will be a SF in the NBA and will team in Toronto with Ed Davis and Andrea Bargnani to form maybe the longest 3-5 lineup in the league. I think all 3 of those players skill set complement each other pretty well. Weakness: Does he want to be great or will he be satisfied with being a pretty good pro?
9. Detroit Pistons John Henson (610″ PF, North Carolina, Junior)
Reasoning: Detroit is ecstatic to get a guy like Henson. They already have a potential 20/10 player in Greg Monroe, so all they need is someone to cover his weaknesses on the defensive end of the floor and crash the boards. Henson does that in spades and is exactly the type of player they need. Weakness: Can he continue to bulk up without hampering his athletic ability?
10. New Orleans Hornets Kendall Marshall (64″ PG, North Carolina, Sophomore)
Reasoning: Best Passer in College Basketball since Jason Kidd was a Golden Bear in California. Marshall makes up for his lack of athleticism with his deep understanding and feel for the game. Marshall never takes an unnecessary dribble and always seems to place the ball in the perfect position for the recipient to score or get a clean shot off. Marshall is unselfish and understands the role of a PG. Adding this type of PG will make life easier for #1 pick Anthony Davis to adjust because Marshall will create easy shots and be the perfect pick and roll / pick and pop partner. Weakness: Jumpshot and Foot speed.
11. Portland Trailblazers Meyers Leonard (70″ C, Illinois, Sophomore)
Reasoning: Portland has already added the PG for the future in Lillard. They still have a hole at the other backcourt spot and could be looking hard at a guy like Jeremy Lamb. But bigs always get taken high and Leonard is a great fit next to Aldridge. Hes very athletic and has all of the physical tools necessary to be a special player on the next level. Weakness: He has yet to put all of his natural talents together, which raises questions about his motor
12. Milwaukee Bucks Jared Sullinger (69″ PF, Ohio State, Sophomore)
Reasoning: With the addition at the trade deadline of Monta Ellis, the Bucks have a formidable backcourt full of high volume shooters. The drafting of Sullinger will give the team a young true back to the basket post threat on Offense to balance out the jumpshot happy backcourt. Sullinger is also a great rebounder. Sullinger could have been a possible top 5 pick in last years draft and while he improved his body and shed the baby fat this years draft is much deeper and causes him to slide almost out of the lottery. Weakness: Will be only an average athlete and may not have the quickness to guard the new generation Stretch 4s
13. Phoenix Suns Jeremy Lamb (65″ SG, Connecticut, Sophomore)
Reasoning: Phoenix is a hard team to figure out. They havent done much to build a strong team around Nash and seem to do nothing but let their best players walk. They really need to blow it up and go the rebuild route so Lamb is the type of versatile player they could really use moving forward. Hes uber talented and provides insane value this low in the draft. Weakness: there are questions about his motor and desire to be a first option
14. Houston Rockets Tyler Zeller (70″ PF/C, North Carolina, Senior)
Reasoning: Zeller is an intelligent player with great size and athleticism. Tyler is skilled both facing and with his back to the basket. A true 7 footer with a tough to block jump hook that will allow him to get his shot off with ease in the NBA. Tyler also is an underrated jumpshooter showing range out to 18 feet. Improved his numbers every year at UNC (Pts, Reb, Ast, Stls, Blks FG%). Weakness: Strength- can he hold his defensive position against stronger players?

Rioni River in Racha Region
Country | Georgia |
Cities | Kutaisi, Vani, Samtredia, Poti |
Source | Caucasus Mountains |
Mouth | Black Sea |
- location | Poti |
- coordinates | 42°11′3″N 41°38′10″E / 42.18417°N 41.63611°E |
Length | 327 km (203 mi) |
The Rioni or Rion River (Georgian: რიონი Rioni, Greek: Φᾶσις Phasis) is the main river of western Georgia. It originates in the Caucasus Mountains, in the region of Racha and flows west to the Black Sea, entering it north of the city of Poti (near ancient Phasis). The city of Kutaisi, once the ancient city of Colchis, lies on its banks.
Known to the ancient Greeks as the Phasis River, Rioni was first mentioned by Hesiod in his Theogony (l.340); later writers like Apollonius Rhodius (Argonautica 2.12.61), Virgil (Georgics 4.367) and Aelius Aristides (Ad Romam 82) considered it the easternmost limit of the navigable seas. Socrates, in Phaedo 109a referred to the portion of the world he knew of as between the Pillars of Hercules and the River Phasis, while Herodotus considered Rioni as a boundary between Europe and Asia[1]
The term "pheasant" and the scientific name Phasianus colchicus are derived from "Phasis" and "Colchis", as this was said to be the region from which the Common Pheasant was introduced to Europe[2] in ancient times (the ring-necked pheasants seen in the present day were later introduced from East Asia; see Common Pheasant for details).
The Rioni is the longest river wholly within the borders of Georgia. Length of the river is 327 km and the drainage area around 13,400 km². It starts on the southern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains at 2,960 meters above the Sea level.

* EmPower NY offers no-cost energy services for eligible homeowners who experienced flooding on Long Island and in the Rockaways. Those seeking assistance can call 800-263-0960.
A one-time bill credit entitles eligible customers to $150 to assist with repairs and/or replacement of damaged boilers, water heaters or furnaces. The customer's equipment must have been "tagged" indicating a relight was necessary.
Assistance is also available for HEAP-eligible customers in addition to the $150 bill credit. These customers, who previously have been approved for the 2011 and 2012 HEAP program, can receive help with gas equipment inspections, repair or replacement completed by a licensed plumber.
Customers who are ineligible for HEAP based on income levels can receive expanded customer assistance in addition to the $150 bill credit. Customers whose household income levels fall within certain low-income guidelines or who meet other need-based criteria may be eligible to receive additional assistance.
To determine eligibility, gas customers are urged to call National Grid at 877-696-4743 for an initial screening. A copy of the National Grid Hurricane Sandy Relief Program brochure with eligibility guidelines is posted at https://211longisland.community os.org/cms/mode/126.

Just wondering if it is just me here, but my Facebook app no lonfer loads up my friends profile pictures.

yeh im getting the same problem as well. Some of the pictures from the albums dont load either. Seems like there are still a few more bugs to fix... How do we report this to RIM?

Re: Facebook App not loading friends profile pictures...
The sideloaded Android app does not show that problem. So it's RIM's app only.
Same issue here. Different wifi connections and still no luck.

Re: Facebook App not loading friends profile pictures...
This happened sometime in the past week. I'm guessing Facebook changed something on their end and an updated app needs to be released.
Maybe it's part of the rumoured PlayBook update.BBM Channels:
C0003ADB7: Made in Canada. Buy local - various Canadian-made products that I run into while shopping.
C000CAE93: Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country. Sale/event announcements and products going into the ReStore. - 08-31-2013, 08:19 AM #17
its been that way since I got my pb, there won't be a solution I'm sure.
sideload android version and enjoy works well - 09-17-2013, 09:22 AM #18
I am surprised to see an issue with such a popular app took so long and hasn't still been rectified. After I saw these kind of issues and famous BB10 saga with playbook, I am definitely not buying any BB product in life again. Playbook was first and last I purchased. Even though I dont like Apple but I would still own it if it carried
value for moneyand freedom I require with my gadgets.
The android sideloaded app is a solution, however, not being designed for PB, the app isn't as fun to use as it would be on android. You have to zoom in/out continuously to be able to use app comfortably.

Oxygen molecules that have been separated and recombined into molecules that have a positive or negative charge. Ozone can be created by an electrical field or chemical reaction. Many household appliances generate ozone in the course of normal operation, but the amount generated in most cases is low enough to be of no concern. Ozone in excessive amounts is considered to be a respiratory irritant.
Ozone Generator
A product designed to emit large amounts of ozone. Sometimes sold as "air purifiers". Some studies indicate that these products can exceed health standards. Are considered by the EPA to be generally ineffective in controlling indoor air pollution.
The term for solid or liquid particles found in the air.
Some particles are large or dark enough to be seen as soot or smoke. Others are so small they can be detected only with an electron microscope. Because particles originate from a variety of mobile and stationary sources, their chemical and physical compositions vary widely.

Ironic that on the 35th anniversary of the Blizzard of '78, we're preparing for another big snowstorm. I stopped at Market Basket on the way home from work and bought all the essentials needed to make French Toast which, as all of you who are recent arrivals should know, is how New Englanders traditionally prepare for blizzards. Once I got home, I topped off the fuel tank on my snow blower and started it up. Normally doing that would ensure the storm goes out to sea but I don't think that will be the case. One weather map I've seen has us in the 18+ zone and another had us at 28+ but that was Fox and they tend to blow everything out of proportion. In related news, the predictions of pre-emptive school cancellations on Friday will probably be true; and the strained jokes about Winterfest being cancelled because of winter weather were funnier three years ago when the same thing happened. Unlike in 1978 when the only thing I had to record images of the storm was my mind, I have all cameras charged up and ready to record so the snow, however much there is, will be fully documented.

35th Anniversary of Blizzard of 1978
In 1978 I was a sophomore at Providence College and on February 6th of that year I trudged to morning class oblivious to the historic weather event that was about to unfold. Back then in our dorm room we had a portable TV with a rabbit ear antenna that pulled in a dozen fuzzy channels on a good day. I don't think we had a radio unless there was one built into the stereo but that only played "records". No internet, computer, iPad, smart phones, nothing like that. As someone who lived on campus, ate on campus and went to class on campus, I never much worried about the weather other than what it was doing when I looked out the window just before leaving the dorm room.
My memory is the snow began to fall in Providence at about 10 am. Once class was done, we wandered to the cafeteria for lunch. By early afternoon, there was a lot of snow on the ground and commuters and employees were exiting the campus with haste. They didn't get far. Soon the streets around the campus were plugged with stuck vehicles: cars, trucks and buses. We wandered around, pushing cars out of snowbanks and enjoying being outside in the snow with no responsibilities or worries.
The snow continued throughout that night and into the next day. The campus was quiet and the snow had fallen in amounts I never recall seeing before or since. On day two, we hung around the room playing cards but without today's electronic distractions, that soon grew boring so we headed outside to survey the area. The only vehicle we found in motion was a Providence Fire engine and that was stuck. We pitched in and helped the crew get it moving. Soon we were hiring ourselves out to shovel the driveways of neighbors who were happy to have the willing workforce.
A few days into the recovery, motor vehicles still had not reached the campus and the menu selection at the cafeteria was narrowing. Soon UH-1 helicopters from the Rhode Island Army National Guard were ferrying food to the campus. That Sunday, the NBC college game of the week was to be broadcast from the Providence Civic Center (now the Dunkin Donuts Arena) where the number one ranked Tar Heels of North Carolina were to play the Providence College Friars. North Carolina's plane made it in as did the NBC crew. With motor vehicle travel still banned, the word went out that anyone who could make it to the Civic Center could get into the game for free. We walked to downtown Providence and watched the Friars upset the number one team in the nation on national TV. Things slowly got back to normal after that.
Looking back, besides the enormous amount of snow and the total lack of information about what was going on, I'm struck by the fact that I don't have a single photograph from the Blizzard of '78. Not having a camera handy is almost unthinkable today when there's one on every cell phone and several other more specialized ones always laying around. But not back then.
Hopefully, the dire forecasts for the coming days of deep snow are just an crude attempt to remind people of what happened 35 years ago today. Please share your memories of the Blizzard of '78.

Diner Reviews
The food at Sofrito was great! A
friend and I tried it for Restaurant Week and could not have asked for more as far as the food and the wait staff service. You are given very large portions and even their normal menu has great prices... you can't go wrong. Our waiter Adrianne was phenomenal! The only minor complaint I have that was although we had a reservation we had to wait quite sometime at the bar until we were seated. (Oh and the girls at the door were not that attentive or friendly.) The bar was awesome! However, i prepared to stuff my face when I got there so I was starving! That, however, will not deter us from coming to the restaurant again... the food was way too delicious! Lastly, we enjoyed the dj that was playing during dinner!"

This place was loud and the crowd
was gross. Service was terrible. I will never go back!!!!!"

I had a 6:30 reservation and was
not seated until 8:20. The hostess gave us an excuse that the buzzer wasn't working, we would be next, etc. We went up to ask her what was going on 3 times and she kept saying we would be "next". Meanwhile, I saw many parties being seated as she told me we would be "next". At 815 I was fed up and asked to speak to a manager. The hostess called via walkie talkie and said thinking I wouldn't hear her "...she had a 6:30 reservation but I forgot to put her on the list". While finally being seated, manager said "we are having technical difficulties with the seating system for the first time in 7 years". I would have accepted an apology instead of being lied to in my face. I will not recommend this restaurant."

no space in-between tables. no
room to walk and the drinks were watered down- food was OKAY. but there was nothing special about it. I honestly would not go again."

I have dined at Sofrito Restaurant
several times and always have loved the service , the food, and my overall experience there has always been good. I decided to take my mother for her birthday last Friday 2/28. I was not aware that it was restaurant week. We felt like we were being rushed to leave my cousin ordered from the restaurant wk menu and they used her dessert as the cake to sing happy birthday, the didn't offer us dessert , coffee, nothing. The waitress even handed us the check without asking if we were done.As we were putting our coats on by the table they were cleaning up the table , folding napkins right on top of us. I was very turned off by Sofrito and very disappointed .."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Even though I made a reservations
for 2 and arrived almost 30 mins before my reservation time, I had to wait an hour and a half (from my reservation time) to be seated. We were then escorted to the dinning room which was packed, almost similar to the subway station during peak hours. My table was practically connected to another table which was a make-shift table of 3. My waiter was not well versed on the menu items, he would say that "he thinks it has meat in it"- being a vegetarian, that information is important. Needless to say, this restaurant would not be my first choice for dinning and if someone invites me, I'll snack before I go so I don't experience the same light-headedness that I did prior."

Really yummy food and beautiful
place. Came for dinner and had a great experience. Drinks were awesome too!"

The food was sub-par. The paella
wasn't anything spectacular, and neither was the dessert. Who uses cool whip on their dessert? Apparently, sofrito does on their tres leche cake. Very disappointed."

Will go there again and again. It

My boyfriend and I decided to go
to Sofrito because of their Restaurant Week menu. Ive been there 2-3 times before but my boyfriend hasnt. The receptionist was not very friendly and looked at me confused when we walked in but we were seated within minutes. The restaurant was packed for a Thursday night-- then again it was restaurant week. We were stuffed between two other couples and the music was so loud. I couldnt even think about what I wanted to eat or find out what my boyfriend was having because it was so loud. The wait service was great. Food came out hot and on time. I enjoyed myself despite the loud noise level. I left full and satisfied."
Dined on 2/27/2014
Wasn't impressed by the food
because I have had better at Sazon. The coco loso was delish-not to strong and not to sweet. For dessert I had the tres leche and I was not impressed with it."
Dined on 2/26/2014
Food was amazingly delicious!!! I
was glad I made a reservation with Open Table because otherwise the wait time for a table on a walk in would've been very long."
Dined on 2/22/2014
I had a very difficult time dining
at Sofrito on a Saturday night. I needed a flashlight to see my menu, which the waitress so graciously provided upon my request. I also had to shout across the table just to be barely audible to my companion because of the unnecessarily loud music that the DJ was spinning. It seemed to get louder periodically with the base resonating through my head. I had a headache and a sore throat by the end of the meal--which lasted 90 minutes because we just couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave. I've been to Sofrito before at an earlier time on the weekend and enjoyed my time there, but after this experience, I will be going to its sister restaurant, Sazón."

The food is unbelievably delicious

Oxtail was good but Sweet Plantain

I've frequent Sofritos a couple of
times before restaurant week. I was actually surprised it was a little under crowded from the normal. Only thing that was weird was that the hostess didn't know that it was restaurant week. I had to wait for my friend and I say at the bar, bartender took forever to get her attention, mind you there was only 4 people at the bar. When we were sated, our waiter from the jump was very energetic, well informed about the menu and the restaurant week menu as well. Food was delicious as always. Our waiter Gerard was really great!"

If you've got a birthday or
special day to celebrate and you love Puerto Rican food, GO! Sangria is great (we drank a whole pitcher), the empanadas were tasty and entrees were excellent!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
This review will be as succinct as
possible: 1) Music was louder than a club; 2) Service was non-existent, yet they charge an automatic 20% tip. 3) Food is an embarrassment. Dry & overcooked is NOT how Puerto Ricans make rice & pigeon peas. 4) Chocolate mousse was actually chocolate molten lava cake. 5) Charged for coat check; Considering all fine dining places I've been to, I've never charged for coat check. Goes to show you how classy is Sofrito. 6) Classier is the fact I sent my food back because Pork was all bone. They didn't bring me a new meal; they actually cut into my meal, took out the bone & returned it to me! Our table was speechless. 7) Overpriced considering all the wonderful restaurants in NYC, why would anyone come here?!"

It was an early Saturday night,
not a busy night, but the table settings are very close to each other. If you don't like crowds this is NOT the place for you. Food was awesome, service was good but seating too close for comfort. Hard to have a private, romantic conversation with your date. if you want good latin food & don't mind the noise & the crowd it's perfect!"

I took my fiancé here for his
birthday on a Friday night and when we arrived there was a live DJ and people were in good spirits. We were seated about 5 minutes after our reservation. Once seated we were given bread and water and greeted by the nicest waitress I've ever had (which says a lot in New York) soon after our drinks came and the food soon followed. I am Dominican and I love Spanish food but I'm really picky if it's not how my mom or abuela makes it, but the food was amazing. I thought they were back there helping the chef. Being that it was my fiancé's birthday I ordered a bottle of wine and they brought it to our table with sparklers and sung him happy birthday! He was so surprised and loved it! I will be coming back very soon."

We're not from NY but we've been
there enough and tried many Spanish restaurants & I've heard so many good things about this restaurant. It was extremely over priced, they asked if you wanted with your meal & charged for a every single thing. Service was horrible we were being rushed as soon as we sat down to order and as soon as we were done eating we were asked twice to clear the table for other guest. I would never go back!"
Dined on 1/11/2014
We celebrated a birthday. The
place is a bit pricey, the food is good but can be seasoned more some of the dishes were bland and Spanish food is all about the seasoning. The portions were good and the service was fast. The music can be too loud for conversation, however, I did notice that it was lower than a previous visit. Overall a nice place for a special occasion."

Best of Technical Support
USB Joystick?
I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D, a USB joystick with
force feedback. I'm running a 2.4.20-20.9 kernel (Red Hat 9) with USB support
enabled. Is there a way to make USB joysticks work under Linux?
I've done searches on Google and I found a few possible solutions, but
none of them worked for me. I do not care so much for the force feedback
component, but I would like to be able to make the joystick work.
Pierre Rochefort
USB joysticks should work fine under Linux.
To learn how to configure them, see the Linux USB Guide at www.linux-usb.org. If you still have questions
about USB support, you can ask on the linux-usb-users mailing
Greg Kroah-Hartman
According to Johann Deneux's Web page at user.it.uu.se/~johannd/projects/ff/index.shtml, he is developing a
force-feedback driver for Linux.
Complete instructions and
downloadable code are provided on this page, so you can test whether this driver
works with your device. You might find
you need some code compiling and module installation skills, but it
may be worth the learning experience.
You also might want to try the Linux Input Driver (linuxconsole.sourceforge.net/input/hardware.html) or the Linux
joystick driver (atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/joystick), which also states that it supports your device.

Configuring a New Network Card
I need to configure my third network card on my Red Hat 6 system
to start automatically when the system reboots. How can this be done?
Your Red Hat release is a bit old; I'd suggest you upgrade it because
you will get many benefits, such as security, stability and more hardware
drivers. Nevertheless, you can try the user-friendly approach by using
the netcfg or netconfig utility (from a root shell) and following
on-screen instructions and options. Alternatively, you can edit the
/etc/modules.conf and the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (where X
is the net card number) files manually. The modules.conf file names each card
and relates that name to the corresponding module (driver) that you
need to have in your system. The ifcfg-ethX file is the actual
configuration file of the card; there is one of these files per network
card. Follow the example of the first file, which must be named
ifcfg-eth0. The Ethernet HOWTO contains more information: www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4.

Setting Up Wi-Fi Restricted Mode on SuSE
I successfully installed SuSE 9.0 on my laptop, a
ThinkPad 600E that uses a Netgear MA401 wireless card. SuSE has
detected my card properly, and I have 128-bit encryption enabled and
working. The problem is I need to put the card in restricted mode
manually to be able to communicate with the access point. Every time I
reboot the laptop, I have to su into root and type
iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxx
restricted to make the card work. I configured the card properly using
YaST and included the encryption key, but it always defaults to open
mode. Did I miss something here? How can I make iwconfig default to
restricted mode?
Kevin Lisciotti
Make a copy of the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template and
edit it to set the
parameters according to your proper setup. Also, take a look at
portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/11/wavelan.html, which
offers more
detailed information on this subject.

Red Hat 7.2 and Ethernet Card
I recently installed the Red Hat 7.2 distribution (my first Linux installation) that came with the book Linux Administration for Beginners, which I borrowed from a friend. When I installed Red Hat 7.2, I did not get a network config screen, as was suggested and shown in the book. The installation is supposed to recognize my network or something, but it doesn't. Hence I have been unable to set up my Internet connection, which is key to more resources for learning other than man pages.
I am using a home PC with the following components: Intel 3 500MHz, 256MB of RAM, 20GB WD Caviar IDE and Realtek (also tried it with D-Link card) NIC. I am connected by a cable modem and have no network, although I plan on expanding to two computers soon.
Red Hat 7.2 does not seem to recognize eth0, although there is a constant
connection. I have searched and searched for instructions. Most direct me
to install drivers from floppies for Realtek, which already appear to come
with the distro, but as I said, I am really new to this and have no clue.
I am about to go buy Mandrake or Red Hat 9 to see if either proves to be a
more useful installation.
Without knowing specific error messages or seeing some log
files, it is extremely difficult to guess what is going
on with your system. Is your network card okay? Is it
properly installed? Does it have any conflicts with other
hardware? Instead of buying another Linux
distribution, you probably should buy a new network card,
one that you know is officially supported. Go to hardware.redhat.com/hcl and look for a network card
that fits your budget and your system.
Felipe Barousse Boué
To rule out a hardware problem, try your system with Knoppix
(www.knoppix.net), which lets you run a current Linux
from CD without installing on your hard drive. You can
download and burn Knoppix freely. If the card works under Knoppix,
you'll have more fun and have more time to learn administration
skills if you upgrade to a more current distribution. For your
first Linux distribution, try to select one with which your local user
group, or whatever source of support you use, is familiar.

Reconfiguring Wireless Keys for Different Sites
I use Wi-Fi on my laptop (running Red Hat 6.2) at a number of
different sites, each one with a different set of encryption keys. It's
a hassle to have to edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts every time. Is there an
easier way to manage my keys?
Andreas Meyer
Jean Tourrilhes maintains an extensive list of wireless
utilities that do things like manage configurations and
monitor signal strength at www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html.
One of the tools listed is waproamd, which automatically
sets up preconfigured WEP keys based on the ESSID of the wireless
network you're on (0pointer.de/lennart/projects/waproamd).
There are also two simpler ways to deal with this issue, as explained
in Felipe's answer and my other answer.
Don Marti
For a poor guy's quick-and-easy way with not much hassle: 1) write a small
shell script in /usr/local/bin for each site. Name each
wireless-sitename or something similar, list the corresponding appropriate iwconfig
and ifconfig commands (including the keys, of course) and set the proper
permissions and ownership. Whenever you get to the site, simply run the
wireless-sitename script and you should be set. This allows individual
turn on/off control of access in each of your preferred network sites.
Felipe Barousse Boué
The way I deal with this kind of thing is to make extra copies of the config file. For example, you can create config.opts.home and config.opts.cafe, then set up an alias or panel button for cafe to do this:
sudo cp /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.cafe \ /etc/pcmcia/config.opts \ && sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
and an alias or panel button for home to do the same thing
with the home version of the file.
Don Marti
Managing Desktop Users and Policies?
I have worked at several businesses that could use the power
of Linux on the desktop, but so far I have been reluctant to
suggest it. It's not that I don't think it's a superior product
or that the relative cost savings are significant. It has to
do with the fact that these organizations are not likely to
want to replace conventional computers with dumb terminals
or low-powered network computers tied to a mainframe or
server. Tied into this is the issue of administering 20
machines, 100 machines or 2,000 machines.
I have not found anything so far that lets me sit down and
look at a domain tree of users and administer polices and
profiles. My ignorance may be blatantly clear at this point. I
am a Linux user at home, but I am a Windows administrator and
like the apparent ease of managing a Windows network.
Can you point me in the right direction
on this? Maybe I don't understand the vision or current mindset
of the community on system administration.

Undoubtedly and disregarding the used technologies, you are talking about
a complex network configuration. Many issues come up: user
management, password management, directories, e-mail addresses, IP numbers,
shared resources and security. Many system administration tools
and efforts exist in the Free Software/Open Source community to deal with
these issues. One of them that I have used several times is Webmin,
www.webmin.com. Webmin is a powerful and extensible systems
management tool; it even allows clustering and remote systems management.
Felipe Barousse Boué
A flexible way to manage user information is with LDAP.
Craig Swanson and Matt Lung covered a unified system for shared
address books, unified login and shared file storage in the
December 2002 issue of Linux Journal (/article/6266).
If you like the Webmin interface, you can use Webmin to manage
an LDAP database.

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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

He has covered the Minnesota Wild for the Star Tribune since 2005, after 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. He uses "Russo's Rants" to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and can be heard weekly on KFAN (100.3 FM) radio and seen weekly on Fox Sports North.
Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
I threw this on Twitter yesterday afternoon, but Matt Kassian is on his way back to Minnesota -- swapped for Casey Wellman -- to play against the physical Philly Flyers tonight. That means Robbie Earl will probably sit, I'd think.
But the Wild's also recalled Justin Falk with Marek Zidlicky banged up.
I mentioned the other day that the Wild would need to bring some extras up with four games in six nights and five in eight and seven in 11. With two games in three nights at Denver and Calgary and the crazy holiday travel this weekend, it's just easier to have a few extras around and have them travel with the team on their cushy charter.
So I'd think the Wild will keep the one extra forward and defenseman around for awhile.
The Wild's getting awfully close to the $59.4 million cap ceiling, but with Wellman sent back and Kassian and Falk brought up, the team still hasn't needed to put Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Josh Harding or Guillaume Latendresse on LTIR (long-term injured reserve). When the Wild needs to spend over the cap, it can retroactively place any of those guys on LTIR. Not an issue.
Talk to you after the skate. By the way, suspended Wild player James Sheppard (broken kneecap from ATV accident) has been around the rink a lot lately. He looks to be getting much better. I saw him without the brace the other day. Sheppard has agreed to talk with us this morning, so you'll be hearing from him for the first time since the accident soon.

See the Glossary for more terms.
Some links will work for NIAID staff only.
This SOP has internal roles only.
To delineate staff roles in making sure financial interests at awardee institutions do not affect the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded under NIAID grants or cooperative agreements (SBIR phase I awards are exempt).
By law, institutions must manage, reduce, or eliminate financial conflicts of interest (FCOI) for any person—including subawardees and collaborators—responsible for designing, conducting, or reporting NIAID-funded research.
They also have to report financial conflicts of interest through the eRA Commons before spending funds on a new grant, or within 60 days of learning about a conflict on a funded grant.
For more information on institutional responsibilities, see the Financial Conflicts of Interest for Awardees SOP.
Staff review incoming reports and prioritize incidents that have the highest risk of tainting NIAID-funded research.
NIAID's financial conflict of interest liaison leads any response. When appropriate, the liaison brokers a response with the NIH Office of Extramural Research.
Discuss an incident only with PIs, institutional business officials, and staff identified in this SOP. Do not provide advice or guidance to anybody except the financial conflict of interest liaison, chief grants management officer, and grants management specialist.
In all cases where you become aware of a possible financial conflict of interest, email the information to the financial conflict of interest liaison and copy the chief grants management officer.
In the following situations, also take the additional steps below:
When an institution notifies NIAID of a financial conflict of interest on a funded grant, eRA Commons generates an email to the chief grants coordinator, who forwards the email to appropriate staff.
Follow the instructions in GMP's Financial Conflict of Interest SOP, which explains the following actions in greater detail:
If you hear about a financial conflict of interest directly from a PI, follow the instructions for all staff but also contact the institution in question to remind it of the NIH policy on reporting conflicts.
More information:
Grantees with questions should contact the grants management specialist or program officer listed in the eRA Commons. For more information, read Communicating With NIAID—How to Get Help.

Wireless Solution Sweden AB is inviting everyone to a Swedish party to congratulate the winners of the WDMX Visionary Awards. The ceremony and party will be held during LDI 2007 in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, November 17 from 3pm to 6pm in booth #803.
The WDMX Visionary Award is a special recognition of individuals in the professional lighting industry who were early adopters of WDMX and had an immediate vision about how it could be applied to great advantage in their respective production environments. At 4pm, two such individuals will be presented with a special custom-made WDMX GoldBox. The GoldBox, of which only five were made, was designed to commemorate WDMX BlackBox unit number 10,000 in production.
"We're very proud of the many ways in which WDMX has been making so many exciting projects possible," says Niclas Arvidsson, international sales manager for Wireless Solution. "But the product alone couldn't do these things, which is why we want to recognize the creative minds behind these projects." The winners will also be given "a secret Swedish hederpris" according to Arvidsson.
While sipping on complimentary Swedish vodka and sampling Swedish meatballs, guests can browse the award winning WDMX product range, including the newest products on the market, the WDMX BlackBox S-2 dual universe transmitter, the BlackBox S-1 Micro Transmitter and the BlackBox R-512 Micro Lite Receiver. ESTA member dealers can vote for the S-1 Micro in the Dealer's Choice Awards. The S-2 can be seen in the LDI New Product Showcase in the Exhibit Hall and is nominated for a Debuting Product Award.

From designing to fabricating — Mechanical Engineers do it all
Just what comes to mind when you think of mechanical engineers? Are they people who design appliances — or people who design airplanes? Or both?
Mechanical engineers really do it all, designing and making nearly everything you can imagine. They design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more. And at the Watson School, we'll teach you about the how and why, as well as help you learn to design and fabricate the products that will affect your life and the lives of everyone around you.
So, whether or not you tinkered with the toaster in your younger days — and whether or not you could put it back together without having parts left over — we'll teach you the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, including computer-aided design, give you hands-on experience and prepare you for whatever path you wish to take in the mechanical engineering field.
Our Mechanical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.

This month's column focuses on an original composition of mine that acknowledges the influence of classical pianists on my playing style, specifically the way in which pianists will play arpeggios across several octaves very quickly (see FIGURE 1). In order to emulate that sound on the guitar, I've devised a few fretboard tapping techniques. In fact, much of my two-hand tapping technique is based on that goal and approach.
He is the virtuoso lead guitarist in Megadeth and holds a bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
As Megadeth hit the big 3-0, Dave Mustaine and Chris Broderick sit down to reminisce about the group's rebellious history and discuss the making of Super Collider, the band's high-energy new album.
With his monolithic chops and die-hard work ethic, Broderick has emerged as the scariest monster shredder on the planet. As he makes clear in the above quote, Broderick has a deep respect for both music and musical performance and has pushed himself relentlessly in the pursuit of technical proficiency and musical freedom. No less an authority than Dave Mustaine calls Broderick "the greatest guitar player Megadeth has ever had."
It's no surprise that a signature model guitar designed by Megadeth lead guitarist Chris Broderick and Jackson Custom Shop master builder Mike Shannon is a lean-and-mean shred machine. However, the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 6 is packed with so many ergonomic and performance enhancements that players who aren't into Megadeth or even metal in general should check it out as well.
Jackson has unveiled a collection of 20 new models charged with new features designed for speed and killer looks. The 2013 lineup includes artist signature, Pro Series, Dinky and JS Series models.
Megadeth's lead speed demon discusses his views on shred guitar.

CeBIT 2009: Starting Shot for Linux in Automobiles
Thinking of buying a BMW, a Peugeot or a Citroen in the near future? If you are then the chances are pretty good that you'll be buying an automobile with a small Linux computer behind the middle console
Since 2006, BMW has been cooperating closely with Intel on an open source solution for multimedia devices in automobiles: the so-called In-Vehicle Infotainment. In his keynote speech at the 2009 CeBIT in Hanover, Graham Smethurst, General Manager for Infotainment and Communication Systems at BMW, officially introduced the automobile industry's new open source developer platform. Under the title "Genivi", the project's founding members; BMW, Delphi, General Motors Corp., Intel, Magneti Marelli, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Visteon Corp. and Wind River will work together to create a Linux-based infotainment software.

Laura Mercier: New Lip Gel Colours and Baked Eye Colours Swatches and Review
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
Taken with flash. Each of the swatches were done with 3-4 swipes to build up the color.
Sweet Cherry is a medium red with a shiny finish.
Rosette is a red pink shade that's somewhat opaque on the lips.
Clementine is the most opaque color out of the entire collection. It is a medium orange that I think many orange lipstick lovers will gravitate towards.
Hibiscus Bloom is a watermelon pink that was really pretty on me. It instantly brightened up my face.
Dollface is a cool tone blue pink. This color took at least 3 swipes to be fully opaque.
Berry Sorbet is a medium berry that's very pretty. It doesn't take too many layers to show up.
Last weekend, they had brand new testers out of these beauties and I tried Hibiscus Bloom on to test out the texture. I first thought "ok here goes another sheer lipstick" but was fortunately proven wrong. The color showed up pretty well on my lips and it felt so light, moisturizing, and comfortable. I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually love the feel of these more compared to Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine. The Lip Gel Colour would be best to wear on a hot summer day, where you don't want to feel like your lipstick is melting. I don't know how long the wear time is but this is certainly one of those swipe-and-go products. I also didn't notice any strong or annoying fragrance from these either.
Here they are again without flash:
Laura Mercier also introduces a new "Eye Colour formula featuring Baked technology in beautiful shades that last all day. This smudge resistant, lightweight eye colour gently smoothes onto the lid for an even application". There are 6 shades for you to choose from and these retail at $22USD a piece.
Now I will say that my swatches do not do these eyeshadows any justice. They are much more vibrant, shimmery, and beautiful in person. My camera had a tough time capturing the different color shimmers in each shade since the sun was setting.
Each of the shadows is baked in a round shape. It sits inside a very simple clear plastic package. The texture is smooth and has great pigmentation. You can either use these dry or wet, with wet helping the color become darker and more vibrant (a foiled effect).
Ballet Pink is easily my favorite color. It is a frosty champagne with a hint of pink. It goes on so smooth and the color is simply gorgeous. I can imagine this being used as a highlighter in the inner corner/cheekbones as well. It is currently the only sold out color online.
Here is it without flash:
With flash:
Terracota is like its name, a frosty and shimmery bronzy shade. This would make a nice lid or crease color.
Petal Pink is a pink with violet shimmer that reminds me so much of the pink shade in Chanel's Enigma Quad.
Black Karat is a black/olive base with lots of gold shimmer. This would make an outstanding smokey eye combo. It also reminds me of a better, more shimmery version of the olive/green shade in Chanel's Enigma Quad.
Lagoon is a bright aqua/teal with shimmer.
Black Violet looks gorgeous in the pan but when swatch, it was actually the most flat in terms of color and shimmer compared to the other shades. I'm sure it will look much better when used wet.
I find the texture of these eyeshadows similar to Chanel's Euro formulas where the shadows are baked. They are smooth and easy to apply.
Overall, a huge thumbs up to Laura Mercier for the new Lip Gel Colours and Baked Eye Colours. At $22 a piece, the lipsticks provide shine, color, and moisture. I don't think you can ask for more than that! These are also alternatives to Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine with a lower price point. I definitely hope she will release more shades in the future. As for the eyeshadows, if you don't want to pay $35USD for a single Chanel baked eyeshadow, these beauties are definitely good alternatives to check out. I highly recommend checking these out at your local Laura Mercier counters!
What's catching your eyes? Have you tested these new products out yet?

Ahhh those lipsticks look amazing! I wanna try Clementine and Hibiscus Bloom. How do they compare to Dior Addict Lipsticks? The texture and finish looks more similar to Dior Addict Lipsticks than Chanel Rouge Coco Shine.

Those swatches are the best I have seen yet. I am dying for Black Karat and Ballet Pink, which all quickly sold out on lauramercier.com, and the gel lip colors look much less neon on your skin than they do in the tube. Thanks!
- May 5, 2011 at 4:42 PM
I got the very last ballet pink, along with black karat today at Nordstrom. I also have clementine and berry sorbet lipsticks. Everyone seems to think "dollface" is really pretty but in person it's just kind of blah. It looks great in the tube but doesn't show up on the lips. I'd say get the lip glace in baby doll instead if you want a nice baby pink. Thanks for all the swatches. I spent a long time trying to figure out which to try in person. :)

In the second half of the Broncos' Week 16 contest against Cleveland, quarterback Peyton Manning topped the 300-yard passing mark for the eighth time of the year.
He has now accomplished that feat 79 times in his career, including postseason games, which is an NFL record he already owns. His teams are 48-30 when he goes over 300.
On the game, he is 30-of-43 for 339 yards and three touchdowns – good for a passer rating of 106.6
His third touchdown pass earlier in the game tied him with Brett Favre for the most three-passing-touchdown games in NFL history with 72.
