Robin Washington column: Irene Morgan remembered — and why we have historic markers
Editor's note: On Saturday, a historic marker was dedicated in Saluda, Va., to Irene Morgan, who died at 90 in 2007. Eleven years before Rosa Parks, Morgan refused to give up her seat to a white couple on an interstate bus, leading to a 1946 Supreme Court case that found segregation in interstate travel unconstitutional. News Tribune editor Robin Washington, who produced a television documentary about her and the early Civil Rights Movement, was asked to speak at the dedication. Here are his comments — and a postscript.
Editor's note: On Saturday, a historic marker was dedicated in Saluda, Va., to Irene Morgan, who died at 90 in 2007. Eleven years before Rosa Parks, Morgan refused to give up her seat to a white couple on an interstate bus, leading to a 1946 Supreme Court case that found segregation in interstate travel unconstitutional. News Tribune editor Robin Washington, who produced a television documentary about her and the early Civil Rights Movement, was asked to speak at the dedication. Here are his comments — and a postscript.
SALUDA, Va. — If you drive up the George Washington Memorial Highway from Hayes Store to the Middlesex County Courthouse here — the trip Irene Morgan took almost 70 years ago — you'll see a lot of historic markers. You'll also see there's already one about the courthouse.
Why do we need historic markers?
Well, some of you may have seen the documentary I produced about Irene Morgan and the 1947 Freedom Ride that followed. I learned about the history when I was working at the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a pacifist group with headquarters in an old mansion in Nyack, N.Y. I would explore its archives in the basement to learn about the fascinating people who worked there long before me — including George Houser, Jim Farmer and Bayard Rustin, all early architects of the Civil Rights Movement.
I was drinking in this history when a new caretaker suggested naming the rooms after some of its great people, and asked me for ideas for its two kitchens. I immediately said, "John Nevin Sayre and A.J. Muste." A few days later I was giving an orientation to a new intern and excitedly mentioned their names. She said: "A.J. Muste — that's the guy the kitchen is named after!"
That's why we have markers, and that's why the road is the George Washington Memorial Highway. If you don't know what he did here and why it's important, maybe, like the A.J. Muste Kitchen, you'll be inspired to look it up.
I've got nothing against George, but for me, the route from Hayes Store to this spot is the Irene Morgan Highway. It's a journey as significant as the one Washington took to give this country life, and make it great. I encourage you to travel it, and imagine it in 1944.
Back then it had no strip malls and less connection to the surrounding communities. Irene Morgan would have been almost alone on the bus when she boarded. It would get more crowded as it rode through Gloucester County — and if I am correct about the demographics then and today, the color of the riders would change as it went. You can see how once the driver determined he had trouble after she refused to give up her seat (and she was already in the back) he'd have to know about the courthouse ahead at the bend in the road. That's why we're at Middlesex County Courthouse today, not Gloucester County's.
Maybe that's an accident of history, but is it an accident? Are there any? When my documentary first aired on television in Boston, a woman named Ginny Boyd saw it. She also had a connection to Gloucester County, and was at a meeting to plan Gloucester's 350th anniversary celebration where they were discussing whatever important had happened there. She raised her hand and said, "Irene Morgan got on the bus at Hayes Store" — all from having seen one second on the screen in a shot of a letter from Thurgood Marshall addressed to Morgan, "care of Hayes Store." Ginny's quick eye led to a marvelous celebration honoring of Irene in 1999, as really, the most important thing that had happened in Gloucester County in 350 years, and leading to her place in history books.
Today, we make that history a little more official, but we're not done yet. With the massive amount of historical records now on the Internet, we are on the verge of learning so much more. "Where are you going with that baby in your arms?" Irene asked of the other black woman sitting next to her, headed for Ardmore, Penn. Maybe soon, we'll know who she was — and maybe that baby is here with us today, or not far from that road outside.
There are no accidents in history. Irene Morgan may not have known she'd help spark the Civil Rights Movement, one of the few completely reformative, sustaining, nonviolent revolutions in human history. But she knew her dignity was worth a struggle on a bus and a cell in the jail here. Our job today is to mark her history and thank her — and never forget — how she changed this road and country forever.
Postscript: Those were my comments as written, though at times I departed from the script. One change I hadn't anticipated, however, was that among the attendees — including dignitaries such as NAACP national president Ben Jealous — was a gentleman whose very presence answered a question I'd asked. He was the nephew of the woman on the bus with Morgan — a living bridge to history much closer than we think.

Abstract: This review provides a global overview of microporous silica based membranes for desalination via pervaporation with a focus on membrane synthesis and processing, transport mechanisms and current state of the art membrane performance. Most importantly, the recent development and novel concepts for improving the hydro-stability and separating performance of silica membranes for desalination are critically examined. Research into silica based membranes for desalination has focussed on three primary methods for improving the hydro-stability. These include incorporating carbon templates into the microporous silica both as surfactants and hybrid organic-inorganic structures and incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles into the silica matrix. The literature examined identified that only metal oxide silica membranes have demonstrated high salt rejections under a variety of feed concentrations, reasonable fluxes and unaltered performance over long-term operation. As this is an embryonic field of research several target areas for researchers were discussed including further improvement of the membrane materials, but also regarding the necessity of integrating waste or solar heat sources into the final process design to ensure cost competitiveness with conventional reverse osmosis processes.

Does It Pay To Move From Illinois?
Is it worth it to leave one state for another due to taxes? The National Center for Policy Analysis, a non partisan public policy research group, developed a way to help you determine the answer. It's an online state tax calculator. Pam Villareal is a senior fellow for the Center. She spoke with WUIS' Sean Crawford:

A note that Illinois excludes a wide variety of retirement income from taxation. But when it comes to sales taxes, combining state and some local rates, that burden is considered among the highest in the country, showing how difficult it can be to get a complete picture of taxes.

Comments about Kenneth Cole Reaction Hill Top Pump:
I was in search of a comfortable lower heeled shoe that I could wear to work. I work in a 900+ bed hospital and walk all over the facility to see my clients. I wear these heels 12 hours+/day. I have had major back surgery and I have to have comfortable shoes. I am a professional and I wear professional/business/dress clothes to work. These shoes were exactly what I was looking for. They are great looking black pumps. The heel is directly under my heel so the shoes don't feel like they have a 3 inch heel and they are incredibly comfortable. I actually bought a second pair in pink suede. I plan to buy more as my budget allows. These shoes are a great buy for us gals who can't wear the really high heels. The leather is soft and high quality and the bottom is safe and non-slippery. I would highly recommend these shoes.

Dreaming of Julia photo courtesy of Bob Coglianese Photos/Gulfstream Park
By Ellis Starr – National Racing Analyst for Equibase
The 57th running of the $300,000 Mother Goose Stakes brings together a field of just five fillies, three of them with wins or near-wins in important 3-year-old stakes races this spring. Leading the field is Dreaming of Julia, who disappointed as the favorite when finishing fourth in the Kentucky Oaks last month following a dominant 21 3/4-length win in the Gulfstream Park Oaks in March. Close Hatches is another who disappointed her backers in the Kentucky Oaks when she never mounted a rally and finished seventh. She rebounded somewhat since then when second in the Acorn Stakes and may be approaching the top form that saw her win the Gazelle Stakes prior to the Oaks. Marathon Lady has yet to win a graded stakes, but with a neck defeat in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes last month and a narrow loss by a nose in the Bourbonette Stakes in March she is another solid contender. Toasting and Sister State round out the quintet and are both seeking the first stakes wins of their careers.
Marathon Lady ran too good to lose last month in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes as she rallied from off the pace to open up by 3 1/2 lengths with an eighth of a mile to go, only to be run down in the last few strides by Fiftyshadesofhay. Earning a 98 Equibase Speed Figure that is one point shy of her career-best figure earned two races prior to that when beaten a nose in the Bourbonette Stakes, Marathon Lady has potential to improve significantly and post the mild upset in this year's Mother Goose Stakes.

Close Hatches won the first three starts of her career, the first from far back and the second and third leading from start to finish. Her best effort of the three races came when defeating eventual Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar in the Gazelle Stakes with a career-best 103 Equibase Speed Figure. Although there was no apparent excuse for her disappointing seventh-place effort in the Kentucky Oaks following the Gazelle, Close Hatches redeemed herself somewhat when second to 6 ¼-length winner Midnight Lucky in the Acorn Stakes last month at Belmont. Having a recent race on the track gives Close Hatches an edge as she moves back to top form, so she must be considered a strong contender to win this race.
Dreaming of Julia ran the best race of her career by far when dominating by 21 ¾ lengths to win the Gulfstream Park Oaks at the end of March. The 116 figure earned that day was higher than the figure earned shortly after that on the same day by Orb when victorious in the Florida Derby. However, Dreaming of Julia did not come close to repeating that effort when a disappointing fourth in the Kentucky Oaks. That being said, the 102 figure Dreaming of Julia earned in the Oaks is still the best last figure among the entrants in this year's Mother Goose. Rested since the Oaks, Dreaming of Julia has every right to come out on top at the end if she repeats that effort.
Toasting earned a career-best 98 figure in mid-February when winning an allowance race but has finished third in both stakes tries since that race. Sister State has just a maiden win to her credit with an 87 figure effort that would need vast improvement to be competitive with these.

What a wonderful song to upload on Christmas Eve! I stumbled across this Christy Nockels song the other day and decided to make a video for it. She wrote the song after giving birth to her third child, a little girl. Rather than trying to describe the story behind the song, let me have Christy do it herself. Just follow this link: http://fqworship.com/angels-lullaby/ It's pretty cool how she was able to connect with the emotions of Jesus' mother Mary. Merry Christmas everyone!

Student Center >> NCLEX Forum >> NCLEX California - is a local license now a requirement?
NCLEX California - is a local license now a requirement?
4 posts back to top |
Posted almost 6 years ago hello. i am a filipino-american. i graduated nursing in the Philippines just last year. i applied for my NCLEX in California. i don't hold a license in the Philippines so i also included in my requirements a written explanation why i don't hold a license in the Philippines. i just stated that i am an American citizen and i look to pursue my nursing career in California. now i received a letter a week ago from California BON requesting for the following below?
Why is this? Is my reason for not holding a local license not good enough? or California BON now requires copy of your nursing license from the Philippines? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me or give me some info regarding in this matter... Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello to all. I am the originator of this topic. Sorry i havent been checking my account here that much. i just wanted to update you all as to what happened to my NCLEX status. I got the letter from California BON on May 20, 2008 stating that i i need to send a copy of my nursing license from the Philippines and it is a requirement. On July 31, 2008 i got another letter from California BON stating that they have evaluated my NCLEX application and they have found me Eligible to take the NCLEX-RN Goodluck to all future nurses out there. God bless. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago Any state board of nursing would have told you the same thing. When you graduate from a US school of nursing, you can take the NCLEX anywhere there is a testing center. But you have to apply for a license at the same time you apply to take the test, and you must apply in the state where you are currently a resident. Since the Phillipines is a foreign country, there is no way you would have met a residency requirement in California or any other state. Plus, your school is not a US school, and not eligible for NCLEX. For example, when I took the NCLEX RN, I was living in Maryland. But I didn't want to drive 2 1/2 hours to Baltimore to take the test when I could drive 1 hour to Dover DE and take it. I applied for a Maryland license, since I was a Maryland resident at the time, but took the test in Delaware. Since the Phillipines does regulate the practice of nursing and require licensure, you must submit proof of that in order to apply for licensure in the United States. However, if there is a testing center in the Phillipines, you could have taken the NCLEX and the results would be on file for California to look up: if your school is eligible for its graduates to take the NCLEX in the first place. All 50 states, and US territories practice something called reciprocity. You can move from say, Maryland to California (which I did). But the Maryland license is no good in California, which has its own BON and regulations of nursing practice. However, I don't have to take the NCLEX again. I apply for a license, supply proof of my Maryland license and any other information California wants (criminal background check, etc). They check with the Maryland board to verify my license. If everything is hunky dorie, I get the California license. It sounds like you were never licensed as a nurse in the United States, or the Phillipines. It also sounds like you never took the NCLEX, but practiced as a nurse without a license in your home country. Therefore you can't move to a different area of residency (ie the Phillipines to California) without proof of licensure, and expect to get a California license. However, had you taken NCLEX in the Phillipines, your scores would be on file, and California would have given you a license even tho you don't have one in the Phillipines: because it's passing that test that is the really important part. The BORN would have checked to make sure there weren't any problems with you practicing nursing in the Phillipines as well (no complaints, no criminal charges), and if everything was clear would have given you a license. So in a nutshell, yes: your reason for not holding a local license (and you don't say what that was) is NOT good enough to get you a license anywhere in the United States. You MUST take and pass NCLEX to get a license, and to take the NCLEX you must either be a US citizen or have a valid work visa, AND a graduate of an approved school of nursing. To prove you are a US citizen you must supply a birth certificate with the original seal from the locale where you were born, or naturalization papers if you were an immigrant, or a permanent residency card (aka "green card"), or a valid work visa meaning you are in the US legally and have permission to work from INS. EVERY state will want a copy of your license from your previous place of residence. You must still take and pass NCLEX to get a license. A foreign license (which you don't have) is not good enough. Foreign born and trained nurses must first get a visa, show proof of a potential employer, and proof that their school of nursing is recognized and eligible for graduates to take the NCLEX. There is a non-profit organization that helps foreign nurses get licensed in the US. Go to the website of the Commission on Graduated of Foreign Nursing Schools: CGFNS International for more information. You will also have to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). So the real question is, is your school of nursing recognized as eligible to take NCLEX. Most non US schools are not, which is probably the hold up. You have to contact CGFNS and get your school vetted so you can take the test. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago thanks theala for your response. i appreciate it. the school (Philippine College of Health and Sciences, Inc.) that i graduated from in the philippines is recognized and eligible for NCLEX. I am a Nursing Graduate. i haven't taken the NCLEX yet at all. i just applied for my NCLEX in the state of california. In the list of requierements for NCLEX in the state of California, it states:
I submitted a copy of my diploma and a written explanation why i don't hold a license. I simply stated in my written explanation that i don't hold a license is because i don't have any plans in working in the Philippines and i look to pursue my nursing career in california. before i came to the philippines to study, i was a residence of california for 3 years. And I am an american citizen as well. I also know some american citizen students who graduated from the same school as I did. They did not take the local examination in the philippines and applied for NCLEX in California without any problems. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago hello! i am also an american citizen. i took the board exams last june 1 and 2, 2008 here in the philippines. should i wait for the results of the local boards then apply for a license in the philippines before applyig or submitting my requirements to Ca BON to take the NCLEX? or could i apply now and just send them a copy of my license in the philippines later on? thanks so much. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I am an American citizen studying at a foreign nursing school. How can I find out if it is recognized and eligible for the NCLEX. My goal is to work here and in the US as well as other countries in the future. I realize I should have squared this away at the git go.. any advice would be very appreciated,,, stuck.. Joel |

| Posted over 5 years ago To all US citizen studying or graduated from a foreign country read carefully...................... -We will require proof of citizenship via Visa, Naturalization document, birth certificate if born here or Greencard. Your proof will be passed onto management for final decision regarding your eligibility for NCLEX. meaning if you studied in a foreign country it is not a requirement of the BON that you should have a license from that country, just passed a letter stating your reason ( obviously one good reason is being a US citizen that prefers to work in the US of course!) with that submit a proof that you are really a US CITZEN! sana nakatulong....................

I'm thinking of taking the NCLEX exam in Ca but I'm not sure if they require the local license which i don't have. please let us know if somebody here knows the answer. Im starting to feel frustrated. Sometimes, I'm thinking of going back to Philippines take the exam, get a license and come back after all those stuffs are done. |

| Posted over 5 years ago hello frustrated nurse:) i knew a friend in california who graduated here in the philippines then also moved there a week after graduation... but he was able to apply and take the NCLEX.. why dont you try to apply there or contact the Ca BON? then if the requirements forces you to go back here in the philippines, never hesitate if you're really frustated for that....coz believe me, it took forever to accomplish everything..ha-ha & to those filipino citizen or a foreign graduate who wants to take nclex, (Submit a copy of your license or diploma that allows you to practice professional nursing in the country where you were educated. If you do not hold a license, a written explanation is required. Also, provide copies of your certificates for midwifery and psychiatric nursing, if applicable.) ...you should'nt rely on those statements... because on my case, Cali BON required me to pass a local license before they process my NCLEX papers to that state eventhough i submitted a diploma with a written explanation..... it really makes me crazy because as long as they were not satisfied with the requirements, they will require a lot especially on school matters.. dami ek-ek...huhu..... just wanna give a small help ...tenx.... |

| Posted over 5 years ago why not just take the NLE even if you dont want to practice here in the PH? you know just to settle the issue that CA NUrsing body is requiring you to have you licensed first. Anyhow, it would be a great prep for you on your upcoming NCLEX-RN exam except for the fact that there are some differences in the scope of study particularly in Community Nursing. Besides, It could be an advantage on your part in many ways if you'll consider... ---jaz ae tot. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I've been doing some research, and it really does seem that more and more applicants are being sent the letter from the CA BRN requiring the local license before being considered for taking the NCLEX. I got off the phone with the CA BRN a few days ago and they said that for international graduates, the local license has always been a requirement and that you would need to send a copy of your nursing diploma and a letter of explanation if you did not have it for any reason. It really would be a case-to-case basis just as Suzanne said. |

| Posted over 5 years ago hi can somebody give me good reasons why i should take the nclex in california even if it is already being offered here in the philippines..thank you so much |

| Posted over 5 years ago Yes, a license in the Philippines is now a requirement in California. If you have a greencard or you are a US Citizen, this requirement can be waived. As for those who does not fall in this category, you can apply in another state that does not require a local license (Nevada, etc.) and apply licensure by endorsement (reciprocity). |

Other Names for this Disease
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is characterized by lesions in the upper and/or lower jaw that occur when normal bone is replaced with a mix of connective tissue and abnormal bone.[1] It tends to affect middle aged women, particularly women of African American and Asian descent.[1] The lesions often affect both sides of the jaw and are symmetrical. The number, size, and shape of the lesions vary. Occasionally the lesions expand and may cause discomfort, pain, or mild disfigurement. The radiographic appearance of the lesions are important for diagnosis.[1][2]

New Track: Zaki Ibrahim – "Something In The Water"
January 30th, 2012
Love this lady. Zaki Ibrahim's music instantly left its mark on us back when we heard her Iqra In Orange debut, which is criminally slept on. "Something In The Water" is a dubbed out soulful house tune laced with Zaki's mesmeric vocals.
Word is that the next album, Every Opposite, is in the works, too! Giddy can't begin to describe how we feel.

Rangers to Keep Kreider in Hartford if Season Starts
Written by Kevin on .
Pete Hindle at the Examiner reports that even if the NHL season is saved, the Rangers will keep Chris Kreider on the CT Whale until his play improves.
...got to say this is shocking to me. Sure he's struggled this year, but he's played with inferior talent with the Whale. It's not like you can compare the skills of Richards, Gaborik and Callahan to Thomas, Kolarik and Hrivik.
...hope this isn't true.
Speaking of the Whale, JT Miller scored two goals as they defeated the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 4-2 last night. Here's video of MIller's two goals (2:20 & 3:00 marks)...
...holy crap that second goal was sweet. Miller hasn't exactly lit it up this season, so hopefully this two goal night will have him headed in the right direction before he leaves for World Junior Championships in a few weeks.
That's a shocker; so his play now versus the playoffs has dropped? I don't believe his play off performance was an accident.
Ok...Thanks....just wanted to make sure.....Just hope that the Rangers come to their senses...after the way he played in the playoffs it should b his job to lose
That's just crazy. Went to the Whale game last saturday against Syracuse, and you can see that this kid is just too talented for the AHL. He needs to play with NHL level talent to excell.
What's the adage in Pro Sports: "Good players play to the level of those around them, great players bring those around them up to their level"?
This kid single handedly ran over college teams at BC, regardless of the skill of those around him, he played up to his potential.
Torts said last year that Kreider was in the playoff line-up because he could score. Torts didn't want to over expose him or put him in a position to fail, but he got to play because he put the puck in the net. But he also had concerns with his ability to play away from the puck, and even though he got better as the playoffs went on, that didn't mean he was guaranteed a roster spot this season.
Bottom line is there are no free passes in this organization. The CT coaches have done an amazing job prepping these young guys for the NHL, and specifically for the Rangers. If there are players in CT outplaying Kreider, they deserve first crack at an NHL roster spot.
Have to disagree, Despite the lesser quality players there's a heck of a lot of NHLers playing in AHL right now, also its a good league with plenty of 4th liner journeyman NHL level players on every team.Its not easy even if you are playing with superior linemates. Krieder will earn his goals here and it will help him.Keep him there until he's gonna be consistent all season in NHL
where's this info coming from....Can't see that happening after the way he played in the playoffs.....The talent around him will b better in the NHL and he'll feed off that
I wouldn't be worried about it. But I think his struggles are more between the ears. He's too worried about having to dominate in the AHL. I think if you put him back in the NHL he'll relax being around better talent and not having to be the man.
Agree with @TheWrage. Kreider should be leading this team in scoring or at least be playing on the first line. I'm pretty sure he's been on the second until last night. (Side note: Sounded like he had a good game but still couldn't get on the scoresheet.) If he's having trouble at this level, there is no way he is ready for NHL. Honestly, I'm not worried. Remember when McDonagh got sent down to the AHL for three months to start his pro career? Yeah, didn't think so lol.
Bad move?? Why? You can't be good in one or two games, even these games being crucial ones, then do nothing for the rest of the year.. He has to earn it everyday.. Too bad if he had taken his spot in the NY Rangers roster for granted..
$%#$$%^$$^%!!!!!!!!! Kreider's play IMPROVES when the players/lines around him improve, guess they forgot about the plyoffs last season, and the bigger the stage for this kid, the better he plays, bad move in my opinion.
I actually agree with Hindle here. Sure, Kreider excelled in the playoffs last year, but he's still a rookie and still unproven. I'd like to see him start dominating against the inferior talent he plays with and earn, not be given, the right to play on the Rangers if/when the season starts.

Mount an ISO file in Linux
Posted by Quinn McHenry in Linux
It is convenient to mount an ISO file directly instead of burning it to a CD first. This recipe describes the command used to mount an ISO image on a Linux system.
To mount the ISO image file.iso to the mount point /mnt/test use this command:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test

You fail to explain that this command only works for root.
thank you, had not dont that before.
unable to mount iso file using command mentioned above as each time there is a extracted directory made in test folder
it also works without "-t iso9660″ (mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/test)… When I tried, your command doesn't work at all…
your iso image file system was another
works fine, how would you unmount
umount /mnt/test
eh… it says "mount: mount point /mnt/[name] does not exist"
wat do i do?-
you need to create the mount point first, i.e. "mkdir /mnt/test"
mkdir -p /mnt/test
lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ su
su: Authentication failure
lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ sudo -i
root@Inf1n1ty:~# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
root@Inf1n1ty:~# mount -o loop BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
BF1942_1.iso: No such file or directory
root@Inf1n1ty:~#so when i log into root, cannot as it is locked, so use sudo to gain root privileges, Then when I go to mount the image it doesn't find it.
Is there a certain location that I need to place the iso in question?-
what is the path to BF1942_1.iso relative to your current directory?
Should something like
mkdir -p /mnt/disk
mount -o loop /dev/USB/BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
… Make any sense? -
lawrence – you arent specifying a path for your BF1942_1.iso file.
mkdir /mnt/foo
mount -o loop /dir/path/filename.iso /mnt/foo
that should do the trick-
When you use sudo -i to turn into root, it changes your current directory to root's home directory, /root, so you're no longer in your old directory where you can access the file with the relative path you were using before.
Your recipe seems like not working. I have given the command:-
mount -o loop -t iso9660 rld-dmc4.iso /media/Entertainment/Game/Devil May Cry 4 Image/
And I got the o/p:-
rld-dmc4.iso: No such file or directory
mount: only root can do that
thanks. and the comments below about only using root was also helpful.
Not working
it doesnt because they have made a daemon tools lite for linux yet.
i "mounted an .iso and it opened like a folder not like a cd-rom. i am trying to like linux but it just does NOT measure up.-
Linux measures up, and linux doesn't measure up, depending on who's using it
it doesn't "open like a folder," /mnt/test would = say "E:" (or whatever your cd is on windows)
/ is just the start of your root partition, but if you look at your actual cdrom, the /cdrom(or whatever you have) is just a link to /mnt/cdrom, so there's not really a difference between /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/test, not anymore than there is between e:(real cd drive) and f:(daemon tools fake cd drive)
sorry, meant to say / is start of base system
bunch of effing noobs – "I don't linux! – your tutorial doesn't work it says no such file or directory" … effing depressing.

Facebook's Open Graph going mobile
SAN FRANCISCO--Facebook's Open Graph is the reason there are Facebook "Like" buttons strewn across the Web on sites that Facebook doesn't operate. Eric Tseng, Facebook's head of mobile products and a former product manager of the Google Nexus One phone, told the room at MobileBeat 2010 that Open Graph is going mobile.

Extreme Picky Eating Could Signal an Eating Disorder
March 1, 2012
© Veer
Shows like TLC's Freaky Eaters and recent news reports of people who have lived for years on only chicken nuggets or pizza strike most people as just, well, weird. In fact, these people are suffering from a real condition called Selective Eating Disorder, or SED – and it starts when they're kids, reports The Daily Beast.
Psychiatrists think SED can be a result of a bad experience with foods (such as choking on them as a child), a fear of trying new things or, if accompanied by a diagnosis of OCD or autism, sensitivity to certain smells or textures. Because people with SED don't outgrow their picky eating habits from childhood, they often stick to eating kiddie staples like PB&J and French fries.
Plus: Moms and Eating Disorders
Psychiatrist Angela Guarda explained to The Daily Beast that she believes this disorder could also be linked to evolutionary history. "It's possible that we have evolved to prefer high- calorie foods and to avoid bitter foods or sour foods in infancy because it's protective to do so."
But because SED is not categorized as a mental health disorder, it can be difficult to get a diagnosis and treatment. The Daily Beast reported on a mom of an eight-year-old with extreme picky eating habits. Doctors waived it off as a phase, but the mom has tried slowly desensitizing her daughter to new foods, by ordering things like plain noodles from different places and slowly adding different spices and flavors. That's actually the same treatment some doctors are using – with an 87 percent success rate.
Is you kid an extremely picky eater? Do you think that selective eating is a childish phase or serious condition?

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Yes, investigations can take time — and, yes, we know all about the wheels of justice moving slowly.
But, after two months, there are many questions surrounding the Attorney General's move to abruptly shut down and seize the assets of the Lucky 7 Arcades in both Gloucester and in Danvers' Liberty Tree Mall. And while the search warrants raised questions of their own regarding the operations of those facilities under a new state gaming statute, the fact is, authorities now owe explanations to the operating Parisi family — which has still not even been charged with any crime — and the community at large.
It was June 11 that law enforcement officers, working under the jurisdiction of the state Attorney General's office, raided both Lucky 7 sites, froze the business's bank accounts, seized cash, and pulled machine motherboards, gift cards and computers from the locations.
Under the statute of limitations, the state could hang on to the seized assets for up to five years, while owners Rosalie and Sam Parisi, who operate the family business, can only wait. And that, quite frankly, is ridiculous. But it's clear that the Parisis, who have operated the Lucky 7 in Gloucester for more than six years and expanded to open their new outlet in Danvers last year, are not only caught up in the grips of that poorly crafted law, but another as well.
The hard-line Lucky 7 crackdowns have come amid a series of probes by the AG's office into the operations of internet cafes and shutdowns of facilities that allow patrons to purchase Internet time that can be used for gambling on electronic screens. That's all after a 2012 piece of legislation that created a new charge "for conducting or promoting an unauthorized sweepstakes that is executed through the use of the display of an electronic machine," according to the AG's office. And that includes apparatus that pays off in "merchandise" in addition to gamblers' usual prize – cold, hard cash.
The Parisis' Lucky 7s don't pay off in cash at all; players win "merchandise" prizes such as gift certificates to local restaurants. And in a latter obtained by the Times (see news story, Monday, Aug. 5), the Parisi's attorney, Eric Tennen, said he was told by state Sen. Bruce Tarr that no one in the Legislature thought the new law would criminalize what was already allowed."
"I think it plainly obvious that the Legislature did not intend to criminalize what was already legal (e.g. Lucky 7, Chuck E. Cheese's, Dave and Busters, etc.)," Tennen wrote. "However, they did not harmonize the new law with the old."
Sadly, that's not surprising in the true legislative tradition. And Tarr's and Tennen's expressed beliefs make perfect sense. In fact, when the Parisis moved toward opening their Liberty Tree arcade last year, Tarr and others seemed to confirm that the facility would not land on the wrong side of the law.
Now, however, the Parisis are not only out of business; they are all out of their jobs, they have had their commercial bank accounts shut down and they have more than $150,000 worth of assets under state control — even though they stand accused of no crimes.
The family also paid the city of Gloucester $100 in fees for each of the 50 machines it operates on Rogers Street — a cool $5,000 for which they have no chance to recoup any of the revenue from customers. And then there are the customers — mostly senior citizens who simply enjoy taking a chance on winning prized that support other local businesses, and who have written to the Times supporting the family.
OK, an investigator found it impossible for a customer to increase his or her odds of winning by stopping the electronic "reels" on the game, as reportedly suggested by some Lucky 7 employees to undercover officers. That is among the concerns cited as a reason for the raid and shutdowns.
But it seems Lucky 7s owners are primarily snagged in disputes over a poorly written state law and an AG's office bent on using it to crack down on any form of even recreational gaming while, of course, leaving the Lottery intact.
Yes, the Legislature should clarify this law and its wording when it returns to session. But in the meantime, the AG's office should either file charges and get on with the case, or free the Parisis and their customers to return to the Lucky 7s.
It's time to bring this hostage stalemate to a close.
