Econsultancy has just finished a new report, The Multi-Screen Marketer, written on behalf of the Interactive Advertising Bureau and based on a survey to over 1,800 consumers.
The goal was to find out how they use a second screen while watching television and to help us understand the impact of these behaviors on advertising and marketing.
There's no shortage of research on the topic, so we focused on areas that believe to be the least examined (and most useful), including how different types of content correlate with multi-tasking, how the distraction of the second screen affects advertiser awareness and what consumers expect from their TV experience in the future.

A groundbreaking translation by Everett Fox with Introductions, Commentary, and Notes, published in 1995. "This translation is guided by the principle that the Hebrew Bible, like much of the literature of antiquity, was meant to be read aloud, and that consequently it must be translated with careful attention to rhythm and sound. The translation therefore tries to echo the Hebrew, and to lead the reader back to the sound structure and form of the original."

I really like this Bible, though it has its limitations. It's wonderful for hearing the sounds and structure of the underlying Hebrew (none of the names sound like the versions in a typical English translation!), which does bring out some meaning that would otherwise be lost, but consequently it's not the easiest to read. It also covers only Genesis-Deuteronomy, which is unfortunate since I would enjoy having this kind of work for the entire OT.
November 4, 2011 | 2:32 PM |
Love this, very litteral and helps reveal the underling Hebrew text. Helps reveal some of the plays on words and poetic nature the authors intended that more dynamic translations lose on account of their readability. I highly recommend this text.

Welcome to George H. Hewell and Son Funeral Homes. We have offered funeral, cremation and memorial services to families in Jacksonville and other areas since 1934. Whether you are considering a traditional funeral, a memorial service, graveside or cremation alternatives, we offer experienced, superior service from our licensed funeral directors and staff.
It is Hewell Funeral Home's attention to detail that sets us apart. Whether a family's choice is for burial or for cremation, each family's time of need presents us with only one opportunity to do things right.
At its simplest level, the family (or the individual who is pre-planning) has one basic decision to make: either burial or cremation. Once that is decided, all of the funeral home's services are available in either case. For example, some families may not realize that a decision to cremate can still involve an evening's visitation for family and friends, and also a funeral with the body present or not present. Of course the option for a direct cremation is always an economical alternative. Thus, families are wise to remember that all the traditional methods of saying farewell are still available with cremation as well as burial. We can guide families or individuals who are pre-planning through these alternatives. However, we also remember that each family is different and different families will say goodbye in different ways.
Through the years we have been the funeral home of choice for many families in northeast Florida. We appreciate their confidence in us and their trust in the Hewell name. Every burial and every cremation is an opportunity for us to earn the trust of another family. It's a responsibility we take very seriously at Hewell and Son.
Cremation is becoming an increasingly utilized option as an alternative to burial. The main reason many families choose cremation is because it less expensive: cremation does not require purchasing a cemetery plot or vault, or paying for the opening and closing of a grave. As far as the funeral home's services are concerned, the decision to cremate in no way limits all the options for paying tribute to a loved one. Often there is the evening visitation followed by a funeral or memorial service with the body or cremation remains present or not present...Read More

Staff Report
Same-sex spouses of uniformed military members and Department of Defense civilian employees will be eligible for benefits the DOD announced today.
"After a review of the department's benefit policies following the Supreme Court's ruling that Section Three of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional, and in consultation with the Department of Justice and other executive branch agencies, the Defense Department will make spousal and family benefits available no later than Sept. 3, 2013, regardless of sexual orientation, as long as service member-sponsors provide a valid marriage certificate," a DOD press release stated.
Entitlements such as TRICARE enrollment, basic allowance for housing and family separation allowance are retroactive to the date of the Supreme Court's decision.
"It is now the department's policy to treat all married military personnel equally," Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said in a statement.
Read Hagel's entire statement here.
"We recognize that same-sex military couples who are not stationed in a jurisdiction that permits same-sex marriage would have to travel to another jurisdiction to marry. That is why the department will implement policies to allow military personnel in such a relationship non-chargeable leave for the purpose of travelling to a jurisdiction where such a marriage may occur. This will provide accelerated access to the full range of benefits offered to married military couples throughout the department, and help level the playing field between opposite-sex and same-sex couples seeking to be married," according to the DOD statement.

Shelly Fitzgerald of SF Quarter Horses sponsored the Battle in the Saddle exhibitor party on July 4. (Journal photo) For more candids from the party, scroll down.
After R.L. Chartier and SL Jaybrid wowed the Battle in the Saddle crowd with a score of 223 in the Mercuria-National Cutting Horse Association World Series of Cutting open finals, exhibitors made their to the Sale Pavilion at State Fair Park.
For competitors looking for a party, the Sale Pavilion was the place to be from 8 p.m. to midnight on July 4. As the fireworks popped outside, exhibitors, family members, non-exhibitors and visitors took to the dance floor.
Two performers kept a steady beat throughout the night at the free event sponsored by Shelly Fitzgerald of SF Quarter Horses.
Lifelong singer and musician of Texas dancehall music, Tommy Hooker, got the party started. Hooker has been performing since 1967 and has played with legends including Leon Raucsh, Darrell McCall and Hank Thompson. Steel guitar player Gary Carpenter was the other performer of the night. Native to Oklahoma City, Carpenter is well known for his talent throughout the South.
In addition to the live entertainment, a cash bar and the real western hoedown made this the party of the show.
To view candids from the party, check out the slide show below, brought to you by The American Quarter Horse Journal.

Dynamic Kernels: Modularized Device Drivers
Since the major number is recorded inside the filesystem node that applications use to access the device, dynamic allocation of the major number means that you can't create your nodes once, and keep them in /dev forever. You need to recreate them each time you load your module.
The scripts in this page are the ones I use to load and to unload my modules. A little editing will suit your own module: you only need to change the module name and the device name.
The mknod command creates a device node with a given major and minor number (I'll talk about minor numbers in the next installment), and chmod gives the desired permissions to the new devices.
Though some of you may dislike creating (and changing permissions) any time the system is booted, there is nothing strange in it. If you are concerned about becoming root to perform the task, remember that insmod itself must be issued with root privileges.
The loading script can be conveniently called drvname_load, where drvname is the prefix you use to identify your driver; the same one used in the name argument passed to register_chrdrv(). The script can be invoked by hand during driver development, and by rc.local after module installation. Remember that insmod looks both in the current directory and in the installation directory (somewhere in /lib/modules) for modules to install.
If your module depends on other modules or if your system setup is somehow peculiar, you can invoke modprobe instead of insmod. The modprobe utility is a refined version of insmod which manages module dependencies and conditional loading. The tool is quite powerful and well documented. If your driver needs exotic handling, you're better off reading the manpage.
At time of writing, however, none of the standard tools handles generation of device nodes for automatically allocated major numbers, and I can't even conceive how they could know the names and minor numbers of your driver. This means that a custom script is needed in any case.
Here's drvname_load:
#!/bin/sh # Install the drvname driver, # including creating device nodes. # FILE and DEV may be the same. # The former is the object file to load, # the latter is the official name within # the kernel. FILE="drvname" DEV="devicename" /sbin/insmod -f $FILE $* || \ {echo "$DEV not inserted" ; exit 1} # retrieve major just assigned major=`grep $DEV /proc/devices | \ awk "{print \\$1}"` # make defice nodes cd /dev rm -f mynode0 mynode1 mknod mynode0 c $major 0 mknod mynode1 c $major 1 # edit this line to suit your needs chmod go+rw mynode0 mynode1
And drvname_unload:
#!/bin/sh # Unload the drvname driver FILE="drvname" DEV="devicename" /sbin/rmmod $FILE $* || \ {echo "$DEV not removed" ; exit 1} # remove device nodes cd /dev rm -f mynode0 mynode1
The next important task of init_module() is allocating any resources needed by the driver for correct operation. We call any tiny piece of the computer a "resource", where "piece" is a logical (or software) representation of a physical part of the computer. Usually a driver will request memory, I/O ports, and IRQ lines.
Programmers are familiar with requesting memory. The kmalloc() function will do it, and you can use it exactly like it was malloc(). Requesting I/O ports, on the contrary, is unusual. They're there, free of charge. There is no "I/O port fault" equivalent of a "segmentation fault". However, writing to I/O ports belonging to other devices can still crash your system.
Linux implements essentially the same policy for I/O ports as is used for memory. The only real difference is in the CPU not generating exceptions when you write to a port address that you have not requested. Port registering, like memory registering, is also useful to help the kernel's housekeeping tidy.
If you ever scratched your head about the port address to assign to your newly acquired board, you'll soon forget the feeling: cat /proc/ioports and cat /proc/interrupts will quickly uncover the secrets of your own hardware.
Registering I/O ports you use is a little more complicated than requesting memory, because you often have to "probe" to find out where your device is. To avoid "probing" ports that other devices have already registered, you can call check_region() to ask if the region you are considering looking in is already claimed. Do this once for each region as you probe. Once you find the device, use the request_region() function to reserve the region. When your device is removed, it should call release_region() to free the ports. Here are the function declarations from <linux/ioports.h>:
int check_region(unsigned int from, unsigned int extent); void request_region(unsigned int from, unsigned int extent, const char *name); void release_region(unsigned int from, unsigned int extent);
The from argument is the beginning of a contiguous region, or range, of I/O ports, the extent is the number of ports in the region, and name is the name of the driver.
If you forget to register your I/O ports, nothing bad will happen, unless you have two such misbehaving drivers, or you need the information to fit a new board in your computer. If you forget to release ports when unloading, any subsequent program accessing the /proc/ioports file will "Oops", because the driver name will refer to unmapped memory. Besides, you won't be able to load your driver again, because your own ports are no longer available. Thus, you should be careful to free your ports.
A similar allocation policy exists for IRQ lines (see <linux/sched.h>):
int request_irq(uint irq, void (*handler)(int, struct pt_regs *), ulong flags, const char *name); void free_irq(uint irq);
Note again that name is what appears in the /proc/ files, and thus should be rather myhardware than mydrv.
If you forget to register IRQ lines, your interrupt handler won't be called; if you forget to unregister, you won't be able to read /proc/interrupts. In addition, if the board continues generating irq's after your handler is unloaded, something weird may happen (I can't tell exactly, because it never happened to me, and I'm not likely to try it in order to document it here). [I think you get a kernel panic, but I've never managed (or tried) to make it happen, either—ED]
The last point I'd like to touch here is introduced by Linus's comment in <linux/io.h>: you have to find your hardware. If you want to make usable drivers, you have to autodetect your devices. Autodetection is vital if you want to distribute your driver to the general public, but don't call it "Plug and Play", since that is now a trademark.
The hardware should detect both the ioports and the irq number. If the board doesn't tell which IRQ line it will use, you can go through a trial and error technique—it works great, if you do it carefully. The technique will be covered in a later installment.
When you know the irq number of your device, you should use free_irq() to release it before returning from module_init(). You can request it again when your device is actually opened. If you keep hold of the interrupt, you won't be able to multiplex hardware on it (and the i386 has too few IRQ lines to allow wasting them). Thus I run plip and my frame grabber on the same interrupt without unloading any module—I just open only one of them at a time.
Unfortunately, there exist some rare times where autodetection won't work, so you must provide a way to pass information to the driver about ports and irqs. A probe will usually fail only during system boot, when the first drivers have access to several unregistered devices, and can mistake another device for the one it looks for. Sometimes probing for a device can be "destructive" for another device, preventing its future initialization. Both these problems shouldn't happen to a module, which comes last, and thus can't request ports belonging to other devices. Nonetheless, a way to disable autodetection and force values in the driver is an important feature to implement. At least, it's easier than autodetection, and can help you in successfully loading the module before autodetection is there.
Load-time configuration will be the first topic of next issue, where the full source of init_module() and cleanup_module will be uncovered.
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.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is our nation's greatest wilderness icon. Located in the northeast corner of Alaska, it is the only refuge specifically designed for wilderness purposes. Its habitats range from boreal forests, north over the Brooks Range, to sweep across rivers, tundra, lakes and wetlands to coastal lagoons, barrier lands and bays of the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Refuge is home to some of our most beloved species of wildlife, including caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, Dall sheep, wolves, wolverines and many more. Each year, the Arctic Refuge coastal plain's vast expanse of lush tundra acts as the birthing grounds for much of this wildlife. Birds we see in our own backyards, in all 50 states and across six continents, begin their lives in the Arctic Refuge before migrating to visit us and then returning there to start the cycle of life anew. The Arctic Refuge's coastal plain is the most important land habitat for mother polar bears, who build dens there each year to give birth to their cubs. The Porcupine Caribou Herd also returns each year to the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain to give birth to their calves, traveling hundreds of miles to do so. For the caribou, and for other Arctic wildlife, there is no alternative to this vital and sensitive habitat that they have depended on for millennia. For centuries the Gwich'in and Inupiaq people have relied on the bounty of the Arctic for their livelihood. The Gwich'in refer to the coastal plain as the "Sacred Place Where Life Begins," a place vital to their native culture. The Arctic Refuge:

"The infant mortality rate is still up, but child mortality is down," Ellmore said. "Teen pregnancy rates are still the highest in the nation, but the number of homeless children is down."
She stressed the importance of cutting prescription drug abuse, calling the McDowell County town of War "the most prescriptive drug-riddled place in the United States."
* Sam White and Tony Michael, from the Institute for Labor Studies and Research at West Virginia University, spoke about the recent passage of new state right-to-work laws in Indiana and Michigan.
Today, 22 states have right-to-work laws that allow employees at unionized workplaces to avoid paying union dues, even though union leaders negotiate contracts and are required to represent them in any workplace grievances.
Labor unions face hard times. Today, unions represent 11 percent of all workers. During the years between the New Deal and the mid-1970s, union often represented a third or more of the nation's work force, with much higher percentages in industries including coal, steel, auto and chemicals.
State AFL-CIO President Kenny Perdue urged people attending Thursday's conference in downtown Charleston to invite Institute for Labor Studies scholars to speak to their members at local union halls and facilities.
* Joe Main, a West Virginia miner who became head of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration in 2009, said his agency has improved since then, when "half of our inspectors had less then two years of experience."
Today, MSHA conducts inspections at 14,500 mines, including metal mines and coal mines, as well as sand and gravel operations.
Main said the Upper Big Branch tragedy on April 5, 2010 -- when 29 miners died in an explosion at a Massey Energy mine in Raleigh County -- "should never have happened."
But company officers "put production ahead of safety.... And they hid stuff from the inspectors."
At the time, Main said, it had been "four years since any miner filed a complaint to MSHA from that mine. Intimidation was thick."
Although Main believes things are improving, he said, "In the last month, six miners died, four of them in West Virginia," Main said.
"These accidents were preventable. They should not have happened."

Congressman Bill Shuster co-sponsored a bill to sell off the Northeast corridor of Amtrak that travels from Washington, D.C., to Boston. It is a very profitable part of Amtrak. If this happens the rest of Amtrak will collapse.
Amtrak employees are the largest single group paying into railroad retirement. Without these employees, the railroad retirement system will collapse.
Mitt Romney on his campaign trail made two speeches that stated if he is elected president, he would not support Amtrak.
If this would happen the Railroad Pension Fund would become insolvent. Railroad retired employees would then most likely be put into Social Security.
There are thousands of Amtrak passengers who depend on Amtrak to get to work. Also, there are many senior citizens who no longer are able to drive cars and can't afford to fly who depend on Amtrak. Let's band together to save Amtrak.
Michael C. Verilla, Altoona

Jasper, Florida
Florida Gateway Resort
[ 2/10 ]
Rate reflects an RV show purchase. We booked a Premium site for this Labor Day weekend, back in January at the Florida RV show, as they had a special rate. Premium sites include: hot tub, outdoor grill, outdoor kitchen wash area, private fireplace, private gazebo. Our reservation got lost. They ended putting us on a premium site that was missing the gazebo and nicely landscaped area. Our site was right behind clubhouse. Nice, but not what was promised. Pool was green, and not working. Asked about pool and was told they are saving money to put in an inground pool. They did not have any planned activities for Labor Day weekend. No horses to rent. Was told they needed 24 hours advance notice. No horse wagon ride at night: same notice required. Outdoor kitchens are available only on beach side, premium sites. Yes there is a lake but had fish in it and smelled bad. No paddle boats. There is one volleyball area in nice, white sand base. There is a home made, mini putt putt course. Could not find any nature trails. They have golf cart rentals, but do not know why you would need one. Laundry area is in the back rest room area and there is no cost to use. The swim spa jacuzzi was the best since there is no pool. Everyone was using this as the pool. They say Wi-Fi is all over the campground, but was not able to connect. Only able to use Wi-Fi in the clubhouse. Direct TV is only available in the premium sites and cabin rentals. However, when I asked for it, they had a guy run a cable to our camper. They have a cafe, but things are a little pricey. They have an outdoor bar, but serve beer only, at $3.50 a beer. Premium sites go for $80 a night, but one can negotiate to $40. Not worth $80. Grass sites go for $40 a night. Cabin rental is $100 a night. We rented go carts for the VIP rate of $20 an hour, but it was supposed to be $40 an hour. The kids enjoyed these. Park did have a waterslide inflatable that everyone enjoyed. Would only stay here again if price comes down. I would not buy the package membership they offer, as you ask 3 different people the same question, and you get 3 different answers. Check in was not welcoming at all. Had to wander through the club house and not one person said, "Hello, can I help you?" Place has potential but it is a little over priced.
Fort Myers Beach, Florida
Gulf Air RV Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Check in was a little odd, went into the rec hall it was empty, heard someone talking in the back so I went to the back area. The office was stuck into a closet area, this is where you check in. Lady was nice, gave a gift pack to us upon check in. She advised what site we were on and wondered why someone put us at that site. She changed our site to be further in the back. The grass site we were on was far better than what was assigned. This resort is a second home to a lot of snowbirds. Some trailers were empty but some had year round people. I said not kid friendly as other than the pool I would not see much for kids to do. Site had W/E/S 30/50 110 amp power, no picnic table, no grill, no fireplace outside. Might be a good place for a couple nights during the summer for a beach getaway but ask for the grass sites towards the back. Roads are very narrow and when turning within the campground you will hit the landscaping as no room to turn unless you take out the grass or permanent peoples front porches. Viewed other campgrounds in the area while here and they are packed in tightly so at least at this one we had room outside for what we wanted to do. Not a far drive to the beach, great food places in the area and boat charters along the beach area. The beach was eroded away though due to tropical storm that came through a month ago. Would stay again but just for a short weekend summer getaway Rate reflects PA discount.
Holt, Florida
Blackwater River State Park
[ 10/10 ]
This is a small Campground as far as sites go. We stayed at this park as a overnight too and from our trip to Louisiana. Sites are nicely graveled sites. Sites are gravel base, each has W/E/S, outdoor grill, firepit and picnic table. Camp check was easy and very friendly ranger. Host on the campground takes pride in the camping area. The bathrooms were spotless, host wife cleans the restrooms and never heard a complaint from anyone about it being dirty. Plenty of hot water in the showers, nice clean toilet, showers and nice shower heads. We did not explore the whole park as we were here for one night going and one night coming but would definitely keep this on our books to stay again if we travel that way.
Kissimmee, Florida
Ponderosa RV Park
[ 1/10 ]
Rate reflects Passport America. The only reason I stayed here was to see if older reviews were fixed and it was close to the Rodeo arena. Access in was easy, check in was easy with a very friendly front desk person. Got assigned site #31. Site had dirt and leaves on it but was OK. Site backed up to a fence which behind the fence is Florida Turn Pike. VERY NOISY ROAD all hours of the night. First night I did not fall asleep till 3 am but still heard cars and trucks all night long. There is no way around the noise at this campground as I asked other campers and they said they just muted it out. This is not a quiet campground (people quiet YES) traffic quiet no, never stopped the whole two days we were there. Found out that we can camp at the rodeo grounds next time. Wi-Fi says is available, we paid $10 for 48 hours of Wi-Fi and had no access luck of any kind. Park contracts the Wi-Fi out to a third party so office staff has nothing to do with Wi-Fi, will dispute our charge as they took our money no problem but customer service to help us get connected was not there, we left two messages for them to help us and did not get a call back. WE WILL NOT STAY HERE OR RECCOMMEND ANYONE THAT CAN HEAR TO STAY HERE.
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
[ 10/10 ]
Outstanding park. Busy holiday weekend, but Disney did a good job with check in process was a breeze as we did online check-in and that cut down on us standing in a line at the entrance. We stayed in the 1700 loop and sites were plenty big. We also had tent campers with us and plenty of room for them as well. Things to do here were horse back riding $46 for a 45 minute trail ride. If your kids are under 80lbs then you can take them on the pony ride for $5. Short ride but my kids loved it. Wagon rides at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. $8 adults, $5 for kids, under 3 is free. Park had all kinds of activities around the pool and trading post. Archery lessons, fishing excursions, or use your own pole and fish in the water, bike rentals for canoe, kayak. Also had tennis rackets for free to use just had to leave your site card. Segway tours $ not sure how much. Campfire with Chip and Dale, after roasting marshmellows they have a sing a long and then a movie. Alot of activities were for a small fee, button making $2, tie tide shirts, kite making, all for under $5 per event. Golf cart rentals were $59 plus tax, but we rode our bikes around the whole park and got closer to things with bikes then you could with a golf cart. Lot of people use golf carts but there was no reason to if you can ride a bike, but everyone is friendly to bikes and golf cart people. Light show by the marina and fireworks were awesome. Best part of this campground is that you do not feel like you are at Disney what so ever like you would if you stayed at a resort.
Crystal River, Florida
Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
This campground is outstanding. Rate reflects PA rate. Wish they extended PA rate for more than just 3 nights. Sites are plenty long enough to hold any size RV or travel trailer. Pool was good, not too crowded, hot tub was hot. Playground for kids has swings, slide, tire swing, baby swings. Only has 50 amp service anything less must have a adaptor or they will give you to use but if you forget to return it will cost you $25. No open fires due to burn ban. No fire rings above ground either. THis was a sad thing for our kids but we managed to do marshmellows over the outdoor stove. Bike riding is adventurous as lots of hills, some you can not even make it all the way on bike. They do rent golf carts but I do not see the need for them as you have everything in your camper to accommodate your needs. In town was not much to do than the wildlife state park, which we found was awesome, our kids enjoyed it. We will stay here again but only to the limit of PA rate. Ask for a shaded site as that helps your AC run not so much. We were on site 285: sat on pavers and was very level and partial shade.
Kissimmee, Florida
Sherwood Forest RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here one night on the Passport America rate. We were escorted to a pull through site and once there, they left. Plenty of things to do with kids if they like putt putt golf (must leave DL at Front Desk), 4 pools, and a playground for kids. All sites were full hook, water, electric, sewer. Had cable TV but I could not get a program on our TV so I just used our antenna. Not very full this time of year but people were spread out. You can see who the long term residents are by the condition of the their campers. Would ask for a shady spot if you can find one so that the AC does not run so much. Front desk was nice but had no sense of humor. They do not know how much things are in town, they just direct you to drive in town to see. Much busier during the winter months as we drove through here once in November to just check it out. If you like plenty of people and sunshine then this is the place for you during the busy times of the year. Good for a one night stay or more if you can choose a shady spot. Would stay here again just for the local one or two night events that we went to.
Sarasota, Florida
Myakka River State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Campground was easy to access off the interstate. Well nestled back in the woods, far enough off the road to have no road noise. We were on site 19 which was a good site for our 27' TT w/slideout. We had electric problems with the power box on 19 but site 18 was close enough to plug into its power. Reported the power issue to ranger stations and they said someone would come and fix it (never did.) They just did not rent out 18 while we were here. Checked with other campers of their 30 amp plugs, and they said they had no issue. Could not even run the AC for more than 10 minutes on 19 power. Plenty of sites were empty for walk up campers even though website shows they were booked. We had nice campers all around us, kid friendly, pet friendly. Fishing was good only at the bridge on your way to the furthest campground, talapia only. If you have a boat bigger than a john boat, do not bother to bring it as the water is too low. Bathrooms were kind of old but feasible and clean. There is a dump behind the men's room at the furthest campground: only accessible with a portable dump. For early morning bike rides or walks you will need your camera as plenty of animals to see. We saw deer, fawns, turkey, wild pigs, raccoons, owls, snakes, rabbits, plenty of gators along the water areas. Full hook site is $25 at the one camp area, they said there are 4 at each section of camping, but I only found one in ours. Outpost stores are nice and have general supply of camping stuff plus plenty of gifts. Has bike rental, canoe's, two air boats for $12 per person. Would most likely go and stay again but choose a different site unless they have the power fixed at 19. We stayed for 3 nights. Good bike riding from your campsite to the rangers station and back is 6 miles roundtrip. Anything longer than 30 foot, they tell you will not fit, but with certain sites you have plenty of room.

We were on site 76 which was plenty long enough for our 27' trailer. Width of site had slopes on the side and hardly any room once your trailer is parked. You will need plenty of cord to plug in at this site. Trees over hang your camper and if you have a slide out like we do it is hard to get around it when out due to width of site. This is perfect for two tents per site but anything bigger than a pop up you are not going to have much room. Rules said no clothes line but everyone at every site had one put up. Do not gather wood but rangers said wood at store does not burn good so everyone collects some wood. Positives, Beach is a good bike ride away but if you have a lot of stuff to set up at the beach better drive. Store staff at beach was friendly, Wi-Fi at store was very good as long as you sat close to the building. We stayed here a week of Easter, other families not as friendly as other places we have camped but we still had fun. Rode our bikes into town for Easter Parade, to the fort, and the lighthouse, all on sidewalk. Farmers Market was good and the local flea market was OK. Sites that we thought were wider and more room for a travel trailer with slide out were 38, 58, 59, 66, 69, 70, 36, 77, 80, 87, 101, 117, 123, 124, 136, 137. First two loops are for tents only. Any other site is OK if you just have a tent or a pop up camper only. We would definitely stay again but at one of the larger sites. Did not rate a 10 due to sites are most sites are tight for travel trailers bigger than 24'.
Ocala, Florida
Silver River State Park
[ 8/10 ]
This park is outstanding with many trails for biking or walking. Would of gave it a 10 if it had a pool but that is not at most state parks. Bathrooms were spotless, showers were great. Sites were huge with plenty of room for a second camper to park if they had another hook up on the site for it. Our site only had 30 amp service but I others sites had big rigs at them. We were at site 32 and 33 for a total of 3 nights. Sad news was my family did not want to leave. This will be a park we stay at again. Sites are private between your neighbors.
Kissimmee, Florida
Mill Creek RV Resort
[ 3/10 ]
This park has allot of permanent residents, it is more like a trailer park than a RV camping park. Men's bathrooms were old and looked like they tried to bring them up to date minus privacy doors for the toilets. Just use the bathroom and showers in your camper if you stay here. Neighbors were not friendly, people would not even say good morning, not even the workers. This park caters to the people that stay year round with them. No playground for kids, people in this park are not kid friendly. This is in what I would call, a not safe area to camp in, as you always heard sirens at night. Every two hours during the night you heard a train horn, if you are a light sleeper you will wake up every couple hours during the night. Workers are helpful when you ask them something but not friendly to say good morning when they drive buy everyday. We would only stay here again if there was absolutely no where else to stay.
Scio, New York
Breezy Point Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We loved this park. We drove up from Florida to get out of our summer heat. Prior to arriving the lady on the phone was pleasant to deal with and helped answer all our questions being that we were first time campers with a motorhome. Check in was easy. The lady was owner who stays on site. She was very friendly and always drove around to check on her campground. Always said hello to us and our kids. There are permanent campers here ,but everyone we encountered were friendly. Lots to do if you like; swimming pool, paddle boats, canoes, walk and see animals in the morning time. We got to drive around and pick what site we wanted as it was not that full. Picked a shade spot back in the pines and got lucky to have one with a sewer drain at the site so we did not have to run to the dump station. Look around at the sites under rocks you may have one at your site. We fished; they said the fish like hotdogs but we used worms and were catching bass left and right. Had two playgrounds that were very well dated but usable for my kids. Fire ring on each campsite. We stayed here to have family come and visit us. Nice quiet area, owners are nice and people were great. Would stay here again if we are up that way.
Orlando, Florida
Bill Frederick Park and Pool at Turkey Lake
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed here the week of Thanksgiving. There is a friendly staff; bathroom showers had hot water (wait 30 minutes till everyone takes theirs). We did not get a dump site as they were all full. Good park with jogging track and bike track all paved. There is frisbee golf if you are into that. Rate was $19 a night based on the rate increase. Overall, we loved this park, and met friendly campers being our first time out in our travel trailer. Looking forward to staying here again.

The dispatcher confirmed the shooting at Taft Union High School but gave no other details. The school is located south of Bakersfield, Calif.

Mission Statement
The Department of Sociology at William Paterson University provides a rigorous program of study designed to: 1) stimulate our students' sociological imagination; 2) give them a full understanding of the diversity and stratification of society; and 3) enable them to apply that knowledge in ways that serve the wider community.
To achieve the above, faculty members place an important emphasis on teaching, seeking not only to inform—but also to explain, demonstrate, and inspire—in an ongoing effort to bestow a love of learning upon our students. As scholars, faculty members conduct research, participate in professional meetings and conferences, and publish their work. Finally, members of the Department bring their expertise to the wide variety of civic organizations and activities as part of their community service.
At the undergraduate level, our courses integrate key concepts with our discipline's unique perspectives and methods. Thus, we prepare students for success in the workplace and/or graduate school, including the ability to engage in critical social inquiry and informed civic engagement.
At the graduate level, we develop in students an advanced skill set in analysis and methodology that is highly desired in a wide variety of occupations, whether in the private or public sectors. In addition, we strive to instill sociological insights into workplace diversity through practical learning experiences.
Special Sites
Our Department is proud of our selection by the American Sociological Association as a MOST (Minority Opportunities through School Transformation) site, one of fifteen in the United States and the only one in the northeast quadrant. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all students and to optimizing the potential in everyone. We are equally proud to be the home site for the Eastern Sociological Society, one of our discipline's premier regional sociological organizations.

Diving into Gcc: OpenBSD and m88k Publish Date: Oct. 2, 2003
Until recently OpenBSD's m88k port used an aging version of the GNU C Compiler, gcc. When an upgrade prevented the port from even compiling, the compiler had to be fixed. How do you track down errors in a compiler, where processor-specific optimizations rule and the debugger doesn't work? Miod Vallat explains the detective work required to fix gcc for OpenBSD's m88k port.

(AP) Markets were headed for a strong close to a historic week after the release of forecast-busting U.S. payrolls figures for February.
The Labor Department reported Friday that the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs during the month, way ahead of expectations for a gain of about 170,000.
The unemployment rate also fell, to 7.7 percent in February from 7.9 percent the previous month, adding to the upbeat mood surrounding the U.S. economy.
Hopes over the world's largest economy have pushed stock markets higher this year, with the Dow hitting a string of record highs this week. They have also given the dollar a lift as investors think the run of positive news may prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to bring an end to its super-loose monetary policy sooner than previously thought.
The payrolls figures lifted stocks in Europe from session highs and doubled the gains anticipated at the Wall Street open.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.5 percent at 6,474 while Germany's DAX rose 0.8 percent to 8,000. The CAC-40 in France was 1.3 percent higher at 3,842.
The Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures were up 0.6 percent.
In the currency markets, the euro was 0.6 percent lower at $1.3020 while the dollar was 1.6 percent higher against the Japanese yen, at 96.33 yen - its first foray above 96 yen since the summer of 2009. The yen has also been on the retreat over the past few months amid expectations of a change in Japan's economic policy that will likely involve the Bank of Japan printing more money.
A lower yen has the potential to make Japanese exports cheaper and that's been at the heart of the Nikkei's recent surge. Earlier, the index jumped 2.6 percent to 12,283.62, its highest close since September 2008.
Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.4 percent to 23,091.95 while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3 percent to 5,123.40. Those in mainland China and Singapore fell.

Julie Scoggins and CJ Harlow
WHERE: The Comedy Zone, Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, 400 Second Ave., South Charleston
WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday, 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. Saturday
INFO: 304-414-2386 or www.comedyzonecharleston.com
Must be at least 21 to attend
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's not exactly a promise, but comedian Julie Scoggins might be coming to town a day early.
Scoggins performs Friday and Saturday night at The Comedy Zone in South Charleston, but Thursday night is Bike Night at Quaker Steak & Lube, and she might be riding her motorcycle up from her home in North Carolina.
"If the weather is OK," she said. "Those little summer storms, I can take, just not those big ones that last three days."
She knows the way to Charleston pretty well by now.
"I've been coming to The Comedy Zone since they opened it," she said, although that might not be entirely true. The Comedy Zone opened in Charleston in 1990, but the 40-something entertainer said she didn't even step in a comedy club until she was 30 and didn't get started doing standup until after that.
It's a wonder she got into it at all.
Before Scoggins made show business her life, she was a cabbie, a truck driver and worked as a Frito Lay route salesperson in the Virgin Islands.
"We lived down there for four years," she said, sounding like she still kind of missed living on a boat.
Scoggins said she left because her husband got tired of it. He was a mechanical engineer, and the Virgin Islands doesn't have much use for mechanical engineers. Instead, he worked as a machinist, manufacturing spare parts for the many boats in the area.
"It's dirty, hot and dangerous work," the comedian said. "It paid pretty good, but it was rough."
Eventually, they sold their boat and returned to the mainland. Back on the continent, they bought a brand new pickup and hit the road, exploring places she'd heard about from Charles Kuralt's show, "On The Road."

Army starts testing bots inspired by sand fleas, roaches
Boston Dynamics, creator of the very awesome BigDog and a menagerie of other bots, is sending two small reconnaissance robots to the U.S. Army for testing.
Sand Flea and RHex, developed with funding from the Army's Rapid Equipping Force, are off to the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) to pass safety and reliability assessments.
Three RHex units have already been delivered to ATEC and Sand Fleas will join them later this year, Boston Dynamics said in a release. The machines could improve soldiers' awareness of threats in war zones.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Longtime Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee employee C. Ashley Clayton is now vice president for Cooperative Program and Stewardship Development, SBC Executive Committee President Frank Page has announced.
Ashley Clayton
Clayton has helped guide Cooperative Program promotion and stewardship development since joining the Executive Committee in 2006 as associate vice president for Cooperative Program and Stewardship. After holding several related posts, he was named in March 2013 as special assistant to the president for CP and stewardship.
Page announced Clayton's promotion at the SBC Executive Committee's Feb. 17-18 meeting in Nashville.
"He has served faithfully our Executive Committee staff for several years and has grown in his strategic ability," Page said of Clayton. "We're proud of him and thankful."
Clayton will continue working with pastors and cooperating state Baptist convention ministry leaders to strengthen Cooperative Program giving and encourage individual and church stewardship among cooperating churches.
"At the Executive Committee, we understand our primary and most important assignment is to advance SBC missions and ministries through the Cooperative Program," Clayton said. "We are striving for consistent messaging and a simple plan for fueling Southern Baptists' long-held values, international missions, church planting and evangelism across North America, church revitalization, theological education, biblical stewardship, meeting human needs, having a voice for morality and religious freedom, collegiate ministry, disaster relief, church strengthening, and so many other important ministries through our state convention partners."
Stewardship, Clayton said, goes hand in hand with the Cooperative Program. From 2006 through 2010, his primary focus was on stewardship development, developing "It's a New Day" stewardship resources and conducting workshops across the nation in partnership with Crown Financial Ministries.
In 2011, he transitioned into the Executive Committee president's office to work more directly with Cooperative Program promotion; but has continued to coordinate stewardship conferences in concert with the six seminaries and many state Baptist conventions.
Clayton has an extensive background in church ministry, having served as minister to children, minister of education, and an associate pastor at churches in Florida, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Georgia and Tennessee.
He is the author of several resources in church growth and the 2009 financial management book, "Confessions of a Poor Money Manager," published by B&H Publishing Group.
