We're looking for new writers, reviewers and people interested in participating on new a reader advisory board.
It's obvious you need some reviewers... Dyslexic much? ;)
I would love to attend to
I would love to attend to discuss things. Do you want my address to send a ticket to me so I can fly from Europe?
Meeting required?
Same here - am interested to help out but I am in the Philippines so I do not know how I can attend a meeting without spending USD1500 for plane fare.
Update Frequency
It's quite a shame that LJ does not get updated quite as often as it could.
Linux Journal Is Recruiting
I will not be able to attend the conference. I would love to talk to someone about participating. Is there an email or forum established to do this or, do you need to attend to be considered.
Thank you
E-mail good too...
If interested in working with Linux Journal, please feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com (please note a subject line of "Recruiting" so we can have the appropriate editor get back to you quickly).
There's some very generic info about writing for LJ here http://www.linuxjournal.com/xstatic/author/index, although I should point out that I know our editorial team would like to chat with everyone directly so please don't not contact us because you got lost in the rules and regulations of writing for LJ after reading the above. ;)
Hope to hear from you.

Linux Journal
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 facility has separate entrances for intake and adoptions. New dogs are kept in one of eight intake kennels until they are determined to be healthy enough for adoption. The entrance to the adoption center was designed for accessibility, according to Joe Haynes. All 35 cat enclosures are in the lobby, as well as 24 enclosures for small dogs and puppies.
The previous shelter was able to house 17 cats and as many as 35 dogs. The new shelter has 45 large dog kennels for adoptable dogs, as well as the 24 enclosures for small dogs and puppies and the eight intake kennels.
Each kennel has its own air circulation system, and each is separated by high walls to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
Every kennel also is connected to a line that allows feces and urine to be swept directly to it and flushed into the main sewer system -- something that Davis said will greatly improve the cleanliness of the shelter.
"We have a separate kennel for impounded animals, which are animals we might hold for an impending court case," Davis said. "Quarantined animals that are here because of a bite will be separated from the general population, as well."
Davis said the county's euthanasia rate is on the decline this year, and he hopes the additional space will allow the shelter to keep animals longer. The clinical space in the new shelter will allow a veterinarian to visit the shelter to perform regular spay and neuter surgeries.
Joe Haynes said the animal shelter is the animal-control authority for the county. He said he hopes the shelter can install an outdoor stable in the future so that livestock surrendered to the agency can be kept onsite. The county owns a large chunk of land surrounding the new shelter, and there is a walking trail for volunteers to walk the shelter's dogs.
"We can always use volunteers. Any shelter can use volunteers," Karen Haynes said. "There will always be a need for volunteers.
"Twenty years down the road," she said, "this shelter will still be here and it will still be functional, because we built it for the future."
Anyone interested in adopting a dog or cat from the Putnam County Animal Shelter can call 304-586-0249 or visit www.petfinder.com/shelters/WV96.html.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2009 vintage of this wine was ranked #58 on the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2011
The 2010 Catena Malbec shows a deep violet color with purple tones. The nose offers concentrated aromas of ripe red and dark fruits with delicate floral notes like violets and lavender, and traces of vanilla and mocha. The mouthfeel is rich and concentrated, with blueberry and blackberry notes and a touch of leather and cinnamon. The finish presents well-integrated tannins with bright acidity and a flinty minerality that gives the wine exceptional length.
"The 2010 Catena Malbec is also a blend of four vineyards in Lunlunta, Agrelo, Altamira and Gualtallary at different altitudes and includes some whole cluster fermentation (about 20% of the blend.) It has a pellucid bouquet with tangible minerality: notes of blackberry, strawberry cheesecake, a touch of cassis and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry. The acidity is crisp and lends tautness towards the succulent finish, which bestows blackberry, black olive and loganberry fruit. This is a finely crafted, feminine Malbec." 91 Points The Wine Advocate
Bodega Catena Zapata is one of Argentina's high altitude Malbec pioneers. The Catena family began making wine in Mendoza in 1902. Nicolas Catena, third generation family vintner, was one of the first to see the potential of Mendoza's mountain vineyards for producing high quality Malbec. In 1994, he became the first Argentine to exprot a world-class bottling of Malbec under the...Read More About Catena

I must be honest and admit I could not suffer through one word that came out of Obama´s mouth last night. I am barely able to read articles about it without developing a severe eye twitch. I knew that haughty lies would tumble from his lips to cheering sycophants drunk on progressive power. I couldn´t take the media tongue bath either. So here I sit this morning more frightened than I have ever been in my life for the country I love. Each of you should be very fearful too since Obama has gotten away with every egregious act that would take down any other President. The perfect storm has hit, a radical President, a media who worships him, and a weak and fractured opposition. God help is. This man truly means to so weaken this nation both financially and militarily that we will be easy pickings for our enemies. Click Here if you Like this Comment
So glad to see Mr. Catron mentioned Dietrich Bonhoeffer in this quote: Unlike today's progressive poseurs, he spoke truth to power when it cost something. While sitting in a cell, awaiting death for that crime.... However, Bonhoeffer was not in prison because "he spoke truth to power". Bonhoeffer, along with many German military officers and other German leaders of the day, were imprisoned because they had attempted to kill Hitler in a plan called "Operation Valkyrie".We should be reminded how gruesomely these "conspirators" were executed. They were hanged with piano wire on meat hooks. Their hanging was filmed in order to show the military command what awaits them if they try something like that again.None-the-less, the rest of Catron´s Bonhoeffer quote is just as relevant now as during WWII: "For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity, or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts." While the situation in our country certainly doesn´t come close to Nazi Germany, but likeCatron says: No, I'm not comparing Obama to Hitler. But I am saying that the never-ending stream of prevarication that emanates from the White House and its media toadies is indeed bewildering to anyone who tries to live honestly. And most of the propaganda is specifically designed to camouflage crimes against democracy like Obamacare. Click Here if you Like this Comment

When 0bama said the Affordable Healthcare act was lowering healthcare costs, I tuned him out. My insurance has gone up 300% in the last three years. You can see most companies are going to opt out of insurance and send their employees packing to 0bama´s "Exchanges" which is what 0bama´s grand plan was in the first place. Put all the people in a single payer system, however, you must remember that he and his family will be covered by a gold plated health insurance and not have to suffer the long lines and shortages for healthcare.

Forget the price of healthcare...has anyone seen the prices of everything else? Food is 3-5 times more expensive than it was a couple years ago. Gasoline is over 2x more expensive. The cost of living is skyrocketing while jobs are almost non-existent, nobody (except the fat cats and the elite government types) is getting raises nor have they been for years. I feel like it is the Weimar Republic again with hyperinflation. Why aren´t the people who are dependent on government benes crying about not being able to buy as much? I know they haven´t had many (if any) increases in their "income". Even they should be screaming about the state of our union.What I don´t understand are those idiots you see who post on a lot of articles who say that the economy is getting better and that we are all better off under Obama.

Mac For business....
I'd be curious to see how others use their Mac for their businesses...primarily the personal / work divide.
I have a Mac Pro a powerbook and iphone and an ipad. I have recently started a new role where I am using my powerbook and iphone daily. I want to keep business and personal seperate...I plan to use email/calendar e.t.c for work. how does everyone else balance this? Different mailbowes? Different Calendar settings? LB |

You could set the Mac up for two users - one for work, and one for play. This way you can keep a nice separation between the two without much ado.
I don't know if this would work for you, but that is how I plan on doing it once the need arises.

Minnesota's Prairie Waters
May 23, 2012 by Good Sam · 3 Comments
By Tom Watson
Prairie Waters is a small, five-county area that you have to intentionally leave the interstates to experience. It's a landscape that at first seems endlessly mundane but reveals itself as tree-lined rivers to canoe and kayak upon to rocky outcroppings to hike through or scramble over. Its waters offer walleye, crappies, northerns and catfish. Its prairies offer a summer-long assortment of wildflowers and birds.
The richness of Prairie Waters is revealed in its arts, its culture and its people – but you have to take the time to slip into the relaxed lane. Once you slow down you can let Prairie Waters bathe you in its simple, but ample array of laidback pleasures.
The upper Minnesota River valley is technically well within the prairie region of western Minnesota. You might not know it from the endless sea of corn or sugar beets that extends like a great ocean beyond the horizon. It's only after you literally slow down and venture onto the local county roads less traveled that you begin to realize there is something more beneath this open sky, something hidden in plain sight. That something is why this region is known throughout southern Minnesota as "Prairie Waters".
The Prairie Waters begin with the headwaters of the Minnesota River at Big Stone Lake, on the western border of Minnesota and South Dakota. Flowing east from Ortonville, the river winds through Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge and then widens, first to form Marsh Lake and then again at Lac Qui Parle Lake on its journey across the entire southern section of Minnesota.
Geologically speaking, this region offers textbook vistas of recent ice age actions that sculpted this part of the state and effectively played a role in forming other regions as well. Lake Agassiz was a glacier lake so expansive that its shoreline stretched from across our present Midwest all the way into the upper reaches of Canada's central provinces. As glacial ices melted, Lake Agassiz swelled until its banks literally burst sending forceful rivers of melt water scouring through the region. The Great River Warren formed a shallow, but wide mega valley through which the Minnesota and even the Mississippi flow today.
As the land recoiled from the massive weight of glaciers, numerous valleys were formed by runoff of more glacial melt. Those watersheds make up the major rivers of Prairie Waters: the Chippewa, Pomme de Terre, Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Medicine and the Minnesota itself. Coupled with myriad lakes of all sizes throughout the region, Prairie Waters attracts kayakers, canoers, anglers, hunters and birders from all across Minnesota.
But what is it about the area beyond its natural uniqueness that makes Prairie Waters so appealing? Despite the fact that the region's marketing motto is "Life in the slow lane", it would be shortsighted to mistake its outwardly obvious "laidback" nature as a sign of idleness. The people's Norwegian heritage is proudly evident throughout the region in its art and its foods. Lutefisk suppers are common at churches in most communities. In fact, the city of Madison in the heart of Prairie Waters is the Lutefisk capitol of the U.S.A. The Milan Village Arts School regularly offers classes in rosemaling and other Scandinavian folk art forms. Visitors to Prairie Waters during the first weekend in October can check out the talents of over 40 local artists during the regional Meander Art Crawl.
The most relaxing way to enjoy the treasures of the Prairie Waters is to travel her back roads. Several scenic byways intersect through the region, from the Glacier Ridge trail in the northeast corner, to the Minnesota Valley National Scenic Byway that zigzags a course through that same valley, to a section of one of America's oldest designated scenic drives, the King of Trails, US Highway 75. There at least one state park along each route. Travelers along the King of Trails, one of the oldest designated scenic routes in America features "Fall Market Day" along much of its Prairie Waters stretch each September. The Prairie Passages route showcases small segments of virgin prairie still remaining in the region – a mere 1% of the origin prairies that once covered this entire portion of Minnesota.
Within the past couple of years RV campsites have multiplied like rabbits throughout the region. The area's only casino, Prairie's Edge in Granite Falls built a 55-unit RV campground, Prairie View, adjacent to its casino. The recently completed upper campground at Lac Qui Parle State Park features spacious RV sites overlooking Lac Qui Parle Lake. All the state parks, as well as a few city parks, accommodate RV campers – some offering hook-ups, others just ample parking space. Other RV camping options include RV parks such as Stonehill Regional Park outside of Canby and Lake Shore RV Park right on the shores of Big Stone Lake in Ortonville.
Southern Minnesota is noted for its golf courses and Prairie Waters has its share, from small, cornfield-turned-fairways 9-hole courses in many of the smaller communities to the broad sky and sweeping, rolling fairways of the 18-hole courses in Ortonville and ontevideo.
Have peace of mind and fully enjoy the relaxing environment of Prairie Waters and other destinations knowing you have travel insurance protection. Good Sam makes it easy with the travel medical insurance included in your club membership.
It can be tempting to not get travel medical insurance, especially when beautiful rivers, lakes, and trails are on your mind. But medical emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime and the health care plans you have at home only go as far as the border.
When you go north, so does the cost of medical treatment. Whether you need stitches or surgery, emergency medical coverage helps you focus on your recovery, rather than how you're going to pay for it.
Not all travel emergencies involve a visit to the doctor and non-medical benefits are also available. If your luggage is lost or stolen, TIC* can help you obtain emergency items to tide you over until your luggage is found or replaced. Trip cancellation and interruption coverage is also available should you need to return home early due to an unexpected emergency.
Whether your trip will be short and sweet, long and leisurely or you need extra peace of mind, Good Sam travel medical coverage is an easy, flexible way to stay protected. Before you hit the road, activate your coverage to ensure your bags are packed for just about any adventure.
Plan features and benefits:
- Coverage for emergency hospital and medical care on an unlimited number of 2-day trips a year.
- 24/7 multi-lingual emergency travel and medical assistance
- Transportation home for medical emergencies
- Emergency dental coverage
- Access to medical professionals

After much deliberation on my part, there were so many good characters to choose from, I've decided that I'd want to be Deadpool
His regeneration abilities outstrip even Wolverines and he's aware that he's a comic-book character - plus his sense of humour is awesome.

New policies are bringing investors back to Japan's stock market.
Since mid-November, the Tokyo Stock Price Index has shot up 42%, ending a multiyear slump for the market. The S&P 500, in comparison, is up about a quarter as much.
U.S. investors haven't been terribly excited about Japan since its economic bubble burst in the late 1980s, but the country is worth your attention now.
First, anyone who wants to be sure of having a well-diversified portfolio ought to have a decent chunk of holdings in the third biggest economy (after the U.S. and China) and second-biggest stock market.
Second, despite the market's impressive run, bargain-oriented stock pickers say Japan is still prime territory for undervalued stocks.
"It has some of the most attractive opportunities we're looking at," says Rob Taylor, co-manager of Oakmark International (OAKIX).
Investing wisely there requires thinking through some tricky risks, however.
Why a slow economy can produce a zooming market
Japan still has big problems. Its net public debt is 135% of its GDP. For the past three quarters, the economy has contracted and is expected to grow just 1% in 2013.
What has investors excited now is an important change in the country's leadership.
In December the Liberal Democratic Party won a big majority in the lower house of Japan's parliament and elected Shinzo Abe as Prime Minister, ushering in a program of economic stimulus that's been dubbed Abenomics.
"The real surprise has been how aggressive Abe's rhetoric is," says Laurence Taylor, a U.K.-based portfolio specialist for the T. Rowe Price Japan Fund (PRJPX). Abe has pressured the central bank to ease monetary policy and double its inflation target to 2% in an effort to end the deflation -- or falling prices -- that has been dragging down growth.
Related: Bank of Japan takes fight to deflation
Whether or not Abe can deliver over the long run, investors based in the U.S. face another complication: His initiatives have pushed down the value of the yen. That's been good for Japanese companies, since it makes selling abroad easier. (Exporters make up roughly half of Japan's stock market value.) But it also means American investors in Japan haven't gained as much from the rally, after adjusting for currency.
So what's the smart way to play Japan from here?
Have the basics covered
Make sure your international funds have enough in Japan to benefit from any further turnaround in the country.
Vanguard Total International Stock Index (VGTSX) has 14% of its portfolio there, which is Japan's weight in a widely used benchmark of international stocks. The wrinkle with this index fund, though, is that it doesn't "hedge," or use futures contracts to offset the effects of a weakening yen. If Japan's currency continues to fall, that will be a drag on performance. You can get around this by investing in funds that do hedge, such as the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DXJ).
There's reason to be cautious about that strategy now, however. The currency has already fallen close to 20%. "I don't think the yen will weaken a ton from here," says Marc Tommasi, head of global investment strategy at Manning & Napier.
And at this point, the important factor isn't so much currency but whether Abenomics continues to produce structural reforms. "That's when you'd see institutions start buying and the rally extended," says Laurence Taylor.
Use pros to make a bigger bet
If you're intrigued by the opportunity for a Japan turnaround and want more than the market-average position, look at two excellent actively managed funds, First Eagle Overseas (SGOVX) and MONEY 70 member Oakmark International, which both have about 25% of their assets in Japan. Managers for both funds have a strong record of finding companies selling at a discount to the value of their underlying business.
Related: Why growth and value investing aren't so different anymore
Over the past 10 years they've beaten more than 95% of their peers, according to Morningstar. Both hedge the yen, but only partially, offering some protection from changes in the currency in either direction. That ready-for-anything approach seems suited to a market where so much is changing so quickly.

Dubai International Passenger Numbers Top 4 Million…Again
Dubai, UAE – September 25, 2011 – Dubai International passenger numbers topped four million for the sixth time in eight months according to traffic statistics released today by Dubai Airports.
August traffic numbers reveal that Dubai International handled a total of 4,019,230 passengers in August compared to 3,987,184 in August 2010, a year on year increase of 0.8 per cent. Year to date traffic reached 33,311,157 up 8 per cent compared to 30,857,624 in the same period in 2010.
The largest regional traffic growth in August in terms of total passenger numbers was recorded on routes to and from AGCC (+42,385), North America (+26,465), the Indian Subcontinent (+14,363) and Russia & CIS (+10,143). Passenger numbers on Middle Eastern routes were down (-65,000) due to the affects of Ramadan along with ongoing instability in some destinations in the region. Western European traffic, which usually offsets the drop in Middle Eastern traffic during the month of Ramadan, remained flat (+102) resulting in a modest year-on-year percentage increase in traffic. On a country level, the largest gains were seen on traffic to and from Saudi Arabia (+52,407), USA (+26,735), Bangladesh (+16,156), Thailand (+11,482) and Ethiopia (+10,549).
August air freight volumes dropped 7.9 per cent as Dubai International handled 182,781 tonnes of freight compared to 198,543 tonnes during the same period in 2010. Year to date Dubai International has handled a total of 1,433,270 tonnes of cargo, compared to 1,451,048 tonnes during the same period last year, a slight contraction of 1.2 per cent. Air freight traffic, which is widely considered as a leading indicator of economic well-being, has been affected by economic uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe.
Aircraft movements during August totalled 25,845 up 2.6 per cent from the 25,202 posted during the same period last year. Year to date aircraft movements numbered 212,383 up 5.5 per cent from 201,362 posted during the first eight months of 2010.
"It's clear four million passengers per month is the new standard at Dubai International," said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports. "We are on track to meet our projection for 51 million passengers by year end."

William S. Burroughs
"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours."

"If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem."
"Richard Nixon means never having to say you're sorry"
Wilfred Sheed

Going into then last round of games for their pool, three women's college 7s teams had aspirations of winning the pool – James Madison, Princeton, and Oregon State – and most knew it would come down to points difference.
Boy, did it. At 2-0 Oregon State was in the driver's seat. All they needed to do was win or tie, and they would win the pool. They faced 1-1 Princeton, who some said had underperformed on the day. Meanwhile James Madison sat at 1-1, but played Texas Tech,[ which had been beaten badly by Princeton and OSU earlier in the day. Dogged and determined, Princeton pinned Oregon State back in their 22 and pulled out [a 21-0 victory over the Beavers. That left the Tigers with a 2-1 record and a +44 points difference, and Oregon State at 2-1, +7. Going into the Texas Tech match, JMU was +7. They would need to win by 37 or more to win the pool. "We knew that points were probably going to matter," said JMU flyhalf Laura Dominick. "Then halfway through the game we realized we were going to need more. We needed to step it up." The James Madison coaches were doing the math throughout the game, and made sure their players knew it. In the end, they knew with time up that they didn't have enough. "That last play did it for us," said Dominick. "We knew we had to score on the last play." The flyhalf did the job, breaking through an exhausted Tech defense to score under the posts. Stephanie Goetz hit the conversion and JMU had won 47-5, enough for a +49 and first place. "It was pretty exciting," said Dominick, who scored four tries and converted one for 22 points, while Goetz scored three and kicked five for 25 points. "We watched the other teams play and tried to see where we could beat them," added Dominick of her team's adjustments. "We made some defensive adjustments, but we basically stuck with our plan. It was pretty exciting."
