Do you know how to shampoo and condition? You may think you do, but the fact is that most people don't really know how and are using the wrong products for their hair type. As trivial as it they may seem, properly shampooing and conditioning your hair are actually the most important steps in your hair maintenance routine. When correctly selected and applied, shampoo and conditioner set the foundation for everything that comes after. So what do they do? Put in the simplest terms, shampooing slightly opens up the cuticle, removing dirt, oil, and product buildup to create a clean, optimal environment for conditioning. Conditioning, meanwhile, delivers essential, nutrients and moisture, then seals the cuticle to keep hair healthy, balanced, and protected. Now that we have that down, let's get on to the details! Source: WireImage Product Selection: What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are differences between salon and drugstore brands (however there are great formulas in both categories). But here's the catch: when you buy a product from a hairstylist, you're getting a regimen that has been specifically prescribed to you by a professional who knows your hair type and what balance of ingredients are necessary to achieve your desired the end result. When you go into a drugstore or supermarket, it's a guessing game, and you're the only player. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find exactly what your hair needs; sometimes you won't. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 Tabatha Recommends: What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As far as regimens for specific hair types, obviously my favorites are salon brands. These are the brands I turn to most: Damaged hair: Joico's K-Pak and Kerastase Color-treated hair: Pureology, Redken, K-Pak Color Therapy Curly hair: Ouidad Dry/coarse hair: Matrix, Ojon, Moroccanoil Fine and thinning hair types: Bumble and Bumble, Phyto, Nioxin Oily hair/problematic scalp: Phyto Normal hair: Congratulations, you can use practically anything to maintain your easy-to-care-for hair type! Source: WireImage 2 / 5 Application: What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The water: Before you begin, get the water right. It should be tepid and comfortable to the touch. If you have oily hair, using water that's too hot will actually stimulate your scalp's sebaceous glands. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 The Shampoo: What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Massage a small amount between your palms to create a lather (and good shampoo should produce a good amount so you don't have to use too much product), apply from the scalp to ends, (lightly and gently working the product in with your palms), and then rinse until the water runs clear. Unless you're old-school and only wash your hair once a week, or use lots of styling products, it is not necessary to shampoo twice. If you have oily hair, do not vigorously rub the shampoo into your scalp believing this will get rid of the excess oil; all that rubbing will actually stimulate the oil glands in your scalp to produce more of what you're trying to wash away. If you have a flaky scalp, brush hair from scalp to ends with a natural bristle brush (Mason Pearson brushes are the best) to loosen up flakes prior to shampooing. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 The Conditioner: What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Massage a small amount between [your palms] to warm up the formula and activate the beneficial ingredients. Gently work the conditioner into the hair, from the midshaft to ends. Leave on for the recommended time on the bottle (usually between one to three minutes), and rinse. Don't apply conditioner to the scalp area unless it's very dry. More conditioner doesn't equal better condition. Your hair can only absorb as much product as it can absorb; any excess simply gets rinsed away. Now off to catch another plane! Check back next week for more tips and tricks.

No sooner was the commercialism of that day gone, then out came the Valentines and as soon as those are gone, St. Patrick's Day shamrocks and Easter bunnies will be filling the shelves of all the Walmarts, Walgreens and every other store.

Sometimes great discoveries are made accidentally. Scientists sometimes make fascinating observations without knowing how to explain such findings or their future implications. Astute analysis and innovative thinking can transform these curious moments into profound advances in medicine. Initially conceived to reverse radiation injury in the 1950's, bone marrow – or onomatopoetic stem cell – transplantation represents just such an advance in the treatment of blood cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Although it means a second chance for many patients and enables some to even beat their cancer, it is a therapy with serious risks. The treatment itself as well as the long-term consequences of transplantation presents hazardous challenges.
When patients, families, and doctors discuss treatment options, the term "bone marrow transplant" often stands for hope. To some, it may sound like a futuristic experimental therapy while for others it is a last resort. For most, however, it remains an abstract concept without meaning. Anita M's book fills this void by guiding the reader through the process of bone marrow transplantation. Her photographs illustrate the preparatory stages, the procedure itself, and the period following the infusion of the blood stem cells that constitutes the actual "stem cell transplantation". She captures every aspect of the transplantation process and transforms it into an intimate, personal story.
This book allows the reader to accompany her husband through his transplantation and shines light onto this unknown. The juxtaposition of a purely technical procedure with an individual patient experience from the perspective of a loved one speaks to patients, families, and caregivers both cognitively and emotionally. By documenting bravery and vulnerability simultaneously, we can see clearly the limitations of both humans and modern medicine. In the end there still remain many unknowns, but nevertheless hope.

NEW YORK (MainStreet)—When Jules Verne wrote about circling the world in 180 days he was telling the story of a breathtaking adventure, and he was absolutely right. The chance to travel the world, whether for a month or six or more, is an incredible opportunity, one that more and more people are beginning to create for themselves. Once restricted only to gap-year backpackers and the wealthy, long-term travel is becoming increasingly popular among people who want to see more than the world can offer in only two weeks. As Americans, it's also a way to get the most out of our increasingly expensive airfare, since seeing most of the world requires crossing an ocean.
The question is how do you make it work? Spending six months overseas is a huge leap of faith. It means coasting off of savings or finding a job overseas, not to mention hoping to still have a life on the other side. While some people are perfectly happy to wash up penniless on a beach in Indonesia, most of us would much rather get home without having to sell the car to make rent. Fortunately, as travel professionals around the world will tell you, these days it's all not only possible but well within reach. With a few tips and some smart planning, you'll be booking that trip of a lifetime before you know it.
1. Destination, Destination, Destination!
Pick your destinations with an eye to savings. It's the first choice you'll make, and can determine whether the trip happens or not. Although the capitals of Europe are clichés for a reason, going places like east Asia or South America will let you take advantage of thousand-to-one exchange rates and get a lot more value for that dollar. Of course, you have to balance this with actually having some fun on your trip too. As Matt Chua, author of the popular travel blog Living If, recommends:
"Southeast Asia and China are the best value for money destinations in the world. You can be amazed by sights, enjoy the world's best food, and have Western comforts for way less than anywhere else. While people claim India is cheaper, it's not the same; it's cheap because you get less… The reality of long-term travel is that it's a life of trade-offs. Sacrificing comfort may save you money, but also make your trip unbearable."
The statistics back this up, with the Lonely Planet guidebooks estimating that in Thailand alone a day of travel can cost as little as $30 all in. Of course keep an eye on your travel visas. Overstaying your welcome is a common mistake and the fines, in almost any country, add up fast. Over the years I've paid far too much money to customs agents thanks to expired stamps in my passport and more than a little bit of corruption along the way.
2. Try the trains
American trains aren't cheap. Our country is too large, our population is too spread out and our rail network just isn't well developed compared to countries where it's more practical. The fact is, getting from one part of America to another is almost always easiest on a plane and cheapest in a car. However according to Mark Smith, author of The Man in Seat 61, trains can be an incredibly cost effective and exciting way of seeing much of the rest of the world.
"In Southeast Asia and many parts of Africa you'll find ultra-cheap trains that are an experience in themselves," he wrote in an e-mail. "Remember the hidden costs of air travel: Train tickets or taxis to and from remote airports, baggage fees, booking fees. With airlines facing rising fuel costs, it may well be cheaper to take the train."
Taking the train can also lead to unexpected and unique moments that have increasingly gone missing from the routine of air travel. They reflect the local culture, as Smith writes, and give passengers the chance to sit back with a glass of wine and simply enjoy the scenery. Besides, how else can you spend a night as I did, on a Romanian platform desperately trying to remember sophomore year Russian to tell a belligerent old woman, "I'm not taking your train?"
"I love snuggling down in bed, reading a good book by the glow of my berth light to the sound of steel wheel swishing on steel rail beneath me," Smith said. "And waking up in a new country! It's an experience not to be missed."
3. Don't stop your financial planning once you're overseas
So you've done the work, made the plans, saved every penny from a year's worth of unordered lattes and it was all worth it. The trip has begun! That's no reason to take your eye off the bottom line now. All too often travelers forget to stay smart about their money all the way through, not just while putting the pennies together. Once you're overseas, lax discipline can turn three years' worth of savings into three weeks' worth of fun.
"We record every expense," said Chua. "It seemed anal at first, but keeping track of expenses is what has allowed us to travel for nearly three years without working. Looking back at our spending daily allows us to reflect on our priorities (seeing the world), where we've made missteps (did we really need that much beer?), and lets us know if we're on track or need to make adjustments to our plans."
It's an effective technique and one that I use myself. Of course, the downside to writing down your daily expenses is actually having to read them. A spreadsheet lets you feel proud of a week in Cambodia that only cost $40. Just keep the $100 scam that made it necessary tucked away under "Other." And watch your bar tab.
4. Cut out the transportation middle men
On this all of the experts agree: money spent on middle men is money wasted.
"Always shop around and buy direct," Chua said. "Fellow travelers often use tour companies to buy bus, train and plane tickets… don't do that! Not only does a middleman such as a travel agent add a commission, often they only represent a handful of providers."
Smith agreed, saying that "in Europe, the surprise is how cheap train travel can be if you ignore expensive railpasses and overseas resellers and book in advance, online, direct with the relevant train operator."
With endless options to lose money on package deals and tourist prices this can be a tricky rule to follow, but invaluable if you make it work. The more popular the destination the worse it gets. Khao San Road in Bangkok, one of the most visited stretches in the world, is lined with travel agencies that all take advantage of newcomers who don't know where the train station is. On a long trip you'll be buying a lot of tickets, and those commissions will add up.
5. Look for work, but find it before you leave
While many people who see the world do so off of savings, another common option is to work as you go. Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) is very popular and an excellent way to find funds as you make your way across the world. Bruce Jones, President and Founder of the International TEFL Academy in Chicago, highly recommends work as a way to find not only your money for travel but also to come home with.
"Half our students have never left the country," he said. "The teaching is really the gateway to living out there… You live your local life, you travel there and it gives you a launching point to travel more and have some adventure."
Programs like Jones's TEFL Academy are an excellent way to find work on the front end, which is a crucial step that some people skip. More than once I've wandered into an dusty bar far from home to find a backpacker washed up behind the taps, working for money to buy his ticket home. Jobs are hard to find on the road, and if you leave assuming you'll be the exception to the rule, it could be very easy to go broke while looking.

6. Plan your costs out day-by-day
The numbers on a big trip can look pretty scary, and one of the best ways to make them more manageable is to plan out a daily budget. That won't mean hard and fast numbers, some countries will cost more, some less, but it will give you a sense of where the money needs to go. It will also help enforce discipline; knowing that yesterday went $15 over budget is much easier to correct than trying to make up $500 from last month.
"We left home on one-way tickets to Vietnam with no plans of where we'd go or when we'd return," Chua said. "All we decided was that we wanted to spend less than $100/day all-in (travel insurance, flights, beer, etc). We figured that we needed to keep on-the-ground costs to $50/day average. Accepting that we'd spend more in some places (Australia, Japan, Argentine) we knew we needed to balance it with low-cost countries."
Planning a daily budget can also give you a feel for which countries are most affordable. While you might have a good feeling about one city, or think another is out of reach, actually putting the numbers down on paper is a great way to know for sure. Sometimes the results might surprise you.
7. Hotels out, Guesthouses in
Along with trains, one aspect of travel that Americans tend to miss is cheap guesthouses and hostels. The infrastructure for them simply hasn't caught on in the United States; although some hostels have popped up in markets like New York City and Philadelphia, for the most part the budget options in our country are roadside motels.
Not so overseas, however! Low cost hostels and guesthouses are a way of life in most of the rest of the world, and what they lack in luxuries such as room service, cable TV and privacy, they more than make up for in savings. Popular websites such as Hostelworld.com and Hostelbookers.com can help you find beds in Paris, Buenos Aires and Phnom Penh for a small fraction of what you would pay at a hotel.
The standards will be different, and you may have to share a bathroom or even a dorm room, but the price will be right, and sometimes that's what matters.
8. Get on top of ATM fees
Three days ago my friends and I went to a small hamburger restaurant near my Chicago apartment. Their food was outstanding, but when the bill came I found myself in some trouble. The restaurant was cash only; not only did I have none on me, but it took several minutes to even remember my PIN number at the ATM. The fact is these days I almost never use cash when I'm in the United States, but you should expect the opposite overseas.
"The majority of the world is cash-only," Chua says, "requiring travelers to use fee-laden ATM's. [Using a bank that] refunds the fees levied by foreign banks, doesn't charge a fee or foreign transaction fees [has] saved us roughly $1,000 a year." Note to Editor – The actual quote from Matt Chua identified the bank he uses and recommends by name, however I thought it best to edit that out. I can return the quote to its original form if you prefer.
Many banks not only charge for using out-of-network ATMs, but also impose steep foreign transaction fees. When you combine it all together you can end up losing as much as $10-$15 per withdrawal. Before you leave, find a bank that reduces or waives those costs. It might not seem like much up front, but over time those savings add up and you'll get the best exchange rates from the ATM.
9. Do your best to pack with a carry on
This may seem like standard advice in an era of shrinking cabin space and growing fees, but it bears repeating. That large bag can quickly become a money sink, and not just with check-in fees at airports. Having a large bag can mean money spent at baggage checks if you stop someplace for an afternoon. It can add surcharges to taxi cabs that want to compensate for weight. It can even mean money lost in tips to porters who rush to bus and boat storage compartments once you've reached a destination.
Of course large bags can also mean additional headaches at the airport. In this day of increasingly automated service, airport kiosks have become a traveler's true best friend. One swipe of the credit card can turn what used to be an hour long wait into an effort free process. That is, unless you have to check your luggage. Then you'll be stuck slugging through no matter what. Many times I've nearly missed my flight because of the lines at airport check-in, once only making it because security let me sprint through the metal detector and an airline held the gate.
Packing for the next six months in a carry on bag might seem daunting, but remember: you're not actually packing six months' worth of gear. You'll buy new toiletries, trade in used books and wash your clothes as you go. Pack just one week's worth of supplies that can be cleaned, replaced and refilled and the process will get much easier.
10. Manage your commitments back home
Heading overseas rarely means getting to cut ties with your old life, and one of the first things to plan before leaving is how you're going to manage those financial commitments. Some issue are easy. Utilities can be turned off, credit cards can be rolled into your budget and travel insurance is relatively cheap online. Others are more complicated. Do you sublease your apartment or just bear the cost? How will you manage your taxes? An important issue that Jones says comes up often for people in his courses is how to manage student loans.
"We get this question all the time, how can I afford to really do it from the beginning," Jones said. "The first thing is, what are my wants what are my needs?
Do I need to be paying off $500 a month to student loans? Okay well, you can defer that with student loan programs, or you can go to a country where you're [working and] making this extra money. Those are your two choices. Choice number three is not going; choice number three's not a great option."
A final tip: suspend your cell phone plan. Most companies will do it, reducing payments to $10 per month and letting you keep your number.
11. Plan for your return in advance
Just like it's a bad idea to wing it overseas, it's equally poor planning to come home without a plan. Know how you'll support yourself after the trip, whether it's setting aside money, lining a job up or a specific plan for how you'll find work to return to while away. Remember, nothing can spoil that trip of a lifetime like coming home to empty options, and after all, you're already setting yourself up with some incredible ones just by going!
"Frankly, any boss that you interview with, the first thing they want to know about is when you lived abroad," Jones says. "That employer, if he or she has ever been abroad, you're in the club. If that employer has not been abroad, they admire that you had the cojones. If you can do that, you can do pretty much anything."
Travel overseas makes you a more diverse, interesting person. It shows that you have the skill and motivation to make your goals a reality, and that's the kind of thing that employers want to see. Play up your strengths, old and new, and you'll turn that trip into opportunity.

The vehicle was discovered shortly after 7 a.m. outside the TV station on Murfreesboro Road.
According to police, the vehicle went off the roadway and hit a utility pole before coming to a rest.
The pole snapped and was being held up solely by the attached guy wires.
The front passenger tire was detached from the car and a piece of the rim was found a few feet away.
The vehicle's airbags deployed as a result. Empty beer bottles were discovered inside the car.
The incident was thought to happen sometime between 5:30 a.m. and 7 a.m.
No further details were immediately released.

Clinton named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-District team
Chadron State College's Glen Clinton has been named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-District Four Football Team as voted on by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America.
To be eligible for the all-academic team, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.3 cumulative GPA. Since Clinton earned first team recognition in his district, he'll advance to the national ballot.
Clinton, a junior tailback from Cody, Wyo., who has a 3.58 GPA in biology, is having his finest collegiate season. He has rushed for 1,180 yards and seven touchdowns while helping lead the Eagles to an 8-2 record and a national ranking in both polls.
The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the second year of the expanded Academic All-America program as CoSIDA moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non Division I) and doubles the number of scholar-athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

IIRC, GM part # for lubricant in the differential is synthetic. Also, GM does not have an interval for fluid change in the differential.

Whatever experiences the mechanic has in the 1980's or 1990's or even over the last 10 years should not be used to decide what to do with a new vehicle. Metals and lubricants have changed over the last 30 years. Used to be that motor oil was changed every 3k miles but now it is common to go 15k miles.
With a differential and in particular one with a locker or a limited slip I would go with the manufacturer's recommendations as to the lubricant to use and the change interval. I doubt the majority of owners perform regular maintenance on their vehicles and the differentials that the mechanic has seen over the years are likely to be ones where neglect was a factor in their early demise.
Conventional lubricants are outdated tech from the 19th 20th century and really have no use in the 21st century. Good synthetics like Amsoil are 21st century tech. Would you use 20th century PC tech in the 21st century? No...If you did you most likely would not be on this forum right now.2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD Ex.

This is NOT to say I'm not a proponent of synthetics, I am. I'm just leary of blanket statements discounting "old tech" that is more than capable of protecting the engine according to manufacturer's specifications.
I often giggle at how often conventional oil folks change their oil (every 2K or 3K), when the oil (conventional) is far more than capable of performing exactly the way it's intended to for an additional 2-7K Miles. Then I realize I'm the guy who replaces his Mobil 1 every year, in spite of the fact I only drive my vehicle's about 2500 miles each. I'm just as bad as the rest of them. Is there something wrong with the oil? Nope. And quite frankly, conventional would provide me the same protection in that time frame under those miles.
YES... Synthetics will wear better and longer, but quite frankly, our "conventional" oil engines ALSO run quite well on conventional.
Short end of the stick: Nothing wrong with conventionals as long as you know the application fits the bill.

I'm sticking with synthetic oils... conventional oils can not withstand higher temps and breaks down faster. My guess is if you are getting build up in the differentials you are not changing your fluids enough.

A note on your oil changes. Even if you only put 2500 miles on a year it is still good to change it as moisture and settling contaminates need to be removed.
Tip. When is the best time to change lubricants on things that get stored?
A: Before putting them into storage.

Some of this reads like the fat people who when asked why they smoke reply that if they quit they would gain weight. Synthetics have their place but no fleet operators with trucks putting on millions of miles each year are 100% synthetic with their trucks and these each represent a $200k or better investment. They run their operations like a business though and will not put in synthetics simply based on the advertisements in the truck and car magazines with some babe in tight shorts or some racer who is paid hansomely to use STP or some other additive - at least until they stop winning races.
If the SAE (society of automotive engineers) lubricating specifications are met that is all that is important to the engine. It does not know you are putting cheaper dino fluid or something that cost over $40 a gallon and it does not care. No harm in using synthetics any more than flooring it every time you leave a stop light - it is your money you are choosing to waste.
Some things to read:
I must agree, that synthetics have an advantage over conventional.
The high mileage fleet owner may not need synthetic oil, his trucks are always running, the oil is always hot.
If you live in the colder parts of the world, a cold morning start with conventional oil can reduce the live of your engine. Thick cold oil will not flow like cold synthetic oil.
I use synthetic for only one reason..........cold morning starts; the starter spins the cold engine like a warm engine and I know the pump is able to move the cold synthetic easier than the cold conventional.Ray

Here is a look at Armie Hammer's and Johnny Depp's outfits, which they wore on the red carpet for the 'Lone Ranger' LA premiere on Saturday evening.
Armie Hammer: Of course, the handsome actor, wearing a pale pink Tom Ford linen suit, was the first to catch my eye. Finally, there is an actor who is not afraid to step out of the narrow, black, grey and navy box. As they say, 'real men wear pink,' and while that usually stops at a pink shirt, I have to say I love this pink perfect-for-summer suit styled with a white dress shirt and maroon tie.
Johnny Depp: I like that the actor scrubbed up on this occasion as he often looks like he just stepped off the set of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. He wore a smart Ralph Lauren pinstriped navy three-piece suit. Signature styling of tinted sunglasses, a pendant necklace, and key chain adornment completed his look.

It's the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, prostate cancer. An estimated 28,000 men will die from the disease this year and more than 241,000 will be newly diagnosed.
September is prostate cancer awareness month and Dr. Michael Peterson at the Avera Sacred Heart Cancer Center wants to make sure prostate cancer cases start going down. Dr. Peterson says when men turn 50, it's time to get screened.
"It's really important that we don't lose momentum and continue to do the good job of picking up prostate cancer like we have been doing." Said Dr. Peterson.
To check for prostate cancer there's the notorious rectal exam but there's also a simple blood test. This blood draw monitors the level of the Prostate-Specific Antigen or PSA, the higher the level, the higher the chance of prostate cancer. Early detection is critical but some critics have stirred controversy.
"It is a cancer that can kill you but it is a cancer that studies have shown we can cure and I just want to make sure with all the controversy about prostate screening, that there aren't people out there who miss out on an opportunity for a cure." Said Dr. Peterson.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released an opinion in 2011 that PSA screenings do not give men 50 and older a better chance at survival and could actually cause other problems like incontinence and impotence.
Dr. Peterson says it's your body and you should discuss with your doctor the best route to take. But for now Dr. Peterson says the PSA is the best way to address prostate cancer.
"We all wish it were like on Star Trek where you could wave like this and boom! the diagnosis was made but we're not there yet. In the scheme of things having a rectal exam is not that big of deal and it could save your life." Said Dr. Peterson.
Bob Cappel says it did, twice.
Bob was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had his prostate removed in 1995. Even without a prostate he continued to get his PSA tested regularly. With the results of a recent test, Bob's doctor discovered cancerous tissue has spread to his hip and possibly his bladder.
"But because I kept up with the prostate exams every six months or PSA's we were ready to deal with it once it was confirmed it was back and re-occurring." Said Cappel.
There are almost no symptoms for prostate cancer but the biggest risk factor is age. That's why it's recommended men get tested at age 50. African American men are also at a higher risk than other races. But if you have a family history, doctors recommend you get checked starting in your forties.
"There's way too much chance if a man waits for symptoms to occur as a result of prostate cancer that at that point the cancer could be outside the prostate." Said Dr. Peterson
Even Dr. Peterson has his annual checkup. Given Bob's history he is encouraging his 40-year old son to start getting tested. While it's definitely an uncomfortable topic for many men, Bob says it's a no-brainer and could save your life.
"Any man who's 50 and above and has not had one needs to put it on their bucket list of things they've got to do." Said Cappel.
Once again, the earlier prostate cancer is detected the more curable it is. So guys, don't drag your feet and get yourself checked out.

General Questions about Scientific Linux
Q. What is Scientific Linux?
A. Scientific Linux is in essence, a commercial enterprise linux distribution, recompiled.
What we have done is taken the source code from Enterprise (in srpm form) and recompiled them. The resulting binaries (now in rpm form) are then ours to do with as we desire as long as we follow the license from that original source code, which we are doing.
We then bundle all these binaries into a linux distribution that is as close to the commercial enterprise distribution as we can get it. The goal is to ensure that if a program runs and is certified on the commercial enterprise linux distribution, then it will run on the corresponding Scientific release.
Q. What is a Scientific Linux "site"?
A. A "site" is a customized version of Scientific Linux.
Scientific Linux is designed so that a lab/university/whoever can easily add/remove/change the packages and installer of Scientific Linux. This was done because lab's and universities often need to customize their version of linux to fit into their enviroment.
As an example, at Fermilab, we create our own site that has our "Fermi Kerberos" packages, as well as local settings like our timezone, ntp server settings, and local printing program.
These customized versions are called "Sites" because the most common users are at a specific place, such as at a lab or a univerisity, and they are designed to be used at that specific place, or site.
A site does NOT have to be done just by universities and lab's. A person could do a multi-media 'site' or an astronomy 'site'. We would still call those 'sites' although they wouldn't refer to a specific location.
Q. Where are all the 'science' programs?
Q. Is Scientific Linux better for scientific applications?
A. This linux distribution is called Scientific Linux because it is made by scientific labs, for scientific labs and universities. It is not named Scientific Linux because it has the largest collection of scientific programs. It was named back when it was small, and only the scientific labs were using it.
Q. Why won't you say the name of the commercial enterprise distribution S.L. is built from?
A. That name is trademarked. The easiest way to keep away from all trademark problems, is to completely avoid the name.
We believe that most readers are able to figure out which commercial enterprise linux distribution we are talking about.
Q. Why did you pick to build Scientific Linux off of the commercial enterprise linux distribution you did? Why didn't you pick distribution X?
A. Speaking for Fermilab.
We had several criteria when we debated about what we should make Scientific Linux out of. Some of the biggest ones were support for at least 3 years, ease of installation, security upkeep.
Q. How do I know this distribution isn't going to just disappear next week?
A. The main developers of Scientific Linux are the same ones that created Fermi Linux. If you look at the
history of Fermi Linux
you will see that we've been doing this for several years. (6 years at the time this was written) Because Fermi Linux is now based on Scientific Linux, these developers don't want Scientific Linux to dissapear.
At this point I must put in a disclaimer, the same disclaimer in the future of Scientific Linux. This is just a plan. We do not, and cannot, guarantee our plan. There are too many factors for us to guarantee it. One of the possibilities is that the source rpm's from the Enterprise release will become unavailable. There are other factors that also may affect our plans.

The American Heart Association is offering a free toolkit for any company or organization that would like to participate in its National Start! Walking Day on Wednesday, April 7. This annual event, held on the first Wednesday in April, celebrates physical activity and encourages all Americans to wear their sneakers to work and take a 30-minute walk. The goal is to encourage area residents to begin or celebrate a regular walking habit.
This is the first time that the association has made the toolkit available so widely.
National Start! sponsor Subway Restaurants and local Start! sponsors PHP and Parkview Health join the American Heart Association in encouraging individuals and companies to celebrate National Start! Walking Day by incorporating a healthy activity into the day.
Although any activity is encouraged that day, the Start! movement focuses on walking as an activity because it's accessible, free and has the lowest dropout rate of any type of exercise. Americans are working an astonishing 164 more hours per year than 20 years ago and more of the nation's workforce is in sedentary occupations, which leads to physical inactivity and greater risk for heart disease and stroke. Cardiovascular disease and stroke continue to be the nation's No. 1 and No. 3 killers.
The National Start Walking Day toolkit is available at www.startwalkingnow.org/startwalkingday. Once registered, companies and organizations have access to a simple how-to guide filled with fun tips for making the day more special. This kit includes e-mail and voicemail templates, a brown-bag lunch presentation, and a 6-week summer walking countdown – with sample walking plans, recipes, daily tips and other tools that the coordinator can use after NS!WD to extend the messaging to help their employees get healthy for summer!
If you are planning on hosting a National Start! Walking Day event at your company, the American Heart Association would love to hear about it. Send an email with details about your Start! Walking Day event to Wendy King at firstname.lastname@example.com and your company name will be listed on the American Heart Association's local website.
For more information on Start! visit americanheart.org/start or call 260.437.9034 for additional details.

Another thing that is very very nice about this lens when shooting wide is the bokeh. Very special.
+1 ...... Love the bokeh on this lens. It seems strange, but I often use this lens for a portrait lens for close up work.
If you buy now and canon releases something else down the line, you're still ahead.
I bought my 16-35 II for $1250 back in 2008. I sold it last year for $1218 on ebay. It's like I had a free 6 year rental and have thousands of images to show for it.
If your gear is clean and looks pristine, L lenses hold their value exceptionally well. Take the pictures you want now and sell it for little to no loss, using those funds to buy the next new thing that comes along.

The Campaign For Real Monopoly
Source Author
Critical Miss
Source Site
Critical Miss Gaming Society
You've been playing Monopoly wrong your entire life. Here's how to fix it
I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've debated with someone about whether or not Monopoly is a good game.
People have fond memories of playing the game with their family, but Monopoly is one of the worst board games imaginable: It takes 5+ hours to play, it's largely luck-based, and afterward everyone hates each other and swears never to play again.
This article tells us why Monopoly is such a terrible game: We've all been playing it wrong for the past 80 years. And no, this isn't just a piece about how Free Parking isn't actually in the rules. It turns out that in the original game instructions, every property that a player chooses not to buy is supposed to be put up for auction and sold to the highest bidder at any price.
The piece goes into detail about why we may have all chosen to spontaneously change the rules of the game without being prompted, as well as the implications of the rule change on the strategy of the game.
Well worth a read for anyone who has ever wasted 8 hours of their life on this (formerly) terrible, terrible game.

As the world marks the centennial of World War I, the guns of August are again being oiled by comfortable politicians and the fawning corporate media, both bereft of any sense of history. And that includes much more recent history, namely the deceitful campaign that ended up bringing destruction to Iraq and widened conflict throughout the Middle East. That campaign went into high gear 12 years ago today.
On August 26, 2002, Vice President Dick Cheney – who remains something of a folk hero on Fox News – formally launched the lies leading to the U.S.-UK attack on Iraq seven months later. And on August 30, 2013, Syria was 20 hours away from a similar fate after Secretary of State John Kerry claimed falsely – no fewer than 35 times – to "know" that the government of Syria was responsible for using sarin nerve gas in an attack outside Damascus on August 21, 2013.
Unlike twelve years ago, when the Pentagon was run by Field Marshal Donald Rumsfeld and the military martinets who called themselves generals but danced to his tune, war with Syria was averted last year when Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey talked sense into a young President who was on the verge of making a terrible mistake by bending to the Cheneyesque hawks now perched atop the State Department.

It wasn't so long ago that DC United was the class of MLS. As recently as 2008, they won the U.S. Open Cup and it was just 2007 that they last finished atop the Eastern Conference during the regular season.
But times have been tough. United have missed the playoffs for three years running and last year set a MLS record for goal-scoring futility (22 goals). A lot of the problems can be traced back to an inability to identify talent. Just look at last year's signing of Pablo Hernandez, a player who was brought on loan for about $250,000 a year, made 14 appearances, never scored and was let go at the end of the season.
As Black and Red United's Martin Shatzer points out, maybe the signing of Charlie Davies is a sign that things are turning around. While Davies suiting up for United is not exactly a done deal, the way DC put itself in position to even have that option seems to be a positive sign.
Davies coming to D.C. isn't luck or good fortune. If any other team were at the top of the Allocation list instead of D.C., Davies would probably be staying in France. United sought him out. The innovative approach was that they used Allocation as a tool for acquisition - not just something to keep in their pocket in hopes that some Yank Abroad would decide to return home later this summer.

Arkansas Razorbacks cornerback Tevin Mitchel was knocked out by a head-to-head hit with teammate Alonzo Highsmith in the fourth quarter against UL Monroe. He was carted off the field after being surrounded for several very silent moments by both teams.
The sophomore from Texas showed signs of consciousness as he was being taken off the field, moving his mouth and appearing to respond to the trainers at his side. However, it wasn't clear whether he's able to move his arms. At this point, all we can do is hope he's all right.
It was already a terrible day for injuries both serious and non-serious, with Tulane safety Devon Walker suffering a similar hit earlier.
Arkansas players encouraged the crowd to get its emotions back into the game, which the Razorbacks led by only 7 at the time.

Texas Longhorns athletes had a strong showing at the London games, bringing home 13 medals for the United States. Get the full breakdown at Burnt Orange Naiton.
News and notes on the Texas Longhorns, including a major change in recruiting strategy, thoughts on breakout Olympic star Destinee Hooker, and info on Kevin Durant and Marquise Goodwin as they...
The Gazelles made me proud tonight, battling the best team in NCAA volleyball history to what amounted to a draw, trading punches until the very end of a remarkable 5-set championship match. Think...
"OMAHA, Neb. — Big 12 Player of the Year Destinee Hooker hammered 23 kills and second-ranked Texas continued its domination over Texas A&M with a three-set sweep in the NCAA Omaha Regional. The Longhorns (27-1) needed just 90 minutes to win 25-18, 25-18, 25-21 and advance to today's final against Iowa State or Nebraska. Texas has won 12 consecutive matches and 14 sets in a row against the Aggies (20-11)."
How high do you have to jump to have your waist above the net?
"When the Longhorns review this victory on film and on paper, they will inevitably see all the areas they can improve -- better passing, better blocking, better balance." This is from an article about the victory over OSU right? Nope. It's from the Gazelles' sweep of the Huskers. The trajectory of these two teams' season is so similar you can almost get a two-for-one- deal on writing articles about them. Next up for the Gazelles: Iowa State, the last serious challenge to an undefeated season. The Cyclones are two games back of the Horns, so they don't pose a major threat to winning the Big XII Championship, but Ames is a notoriously difficult place to play with extremely rabid fans. Oh, and another footnote: Destinee was awarded Big XII Offensive Player of the Week this week - the fourth time she's won the award just this season. She is a shoe-in to win the conference player of the year, and has to be co-favorite for the national award with PSU's Megan Hodge.
PHF's fave Gazelle is named the Female Athlete of the Year. Unfortunately the article is not just an homage to her sublime talent - we're also subjected to an athlete from that cultural wasteland north of the Red River. I guess you always gotta have the sour with the sweet.
She's a Gregory Gazelle first and foremost, but she's also the best in the country at the high jump. Let's hope she helps the Gazelles win a National Championship in volleyball this fall.
Destinee Hooker - who always seems to save her best for the biggest games - hammered out 24 kills, and the Horns shockingly outblocked the Huskers 14.0 to 4.5 as #4 Texas knocked off #3 Nebraska...
Nebraska week got off to a rockin start last night when the 5th ranked Gregory Gazelles swept #1 ranked Nebraska 3-0 in a near-flawless match in Austin. To put the win in perspective, the Huskers...

JEAN TARBETT HARDIMAN,The Herald-Dispatch
HUNTINGTON (AP) — All Laurie Reasons has to do is
glance around Lamb's Gate Market in downtown Huntington to see that
people do, in fact, care.
The shop was established in just one
month, all by volunteers. A man whose wife was due with a baby any day
took time out to build the cashier's desk. Local designers came up with
some ideas for decor, and others scoured town for donated items that
could make a nice retail space. A lawyer donated his services, along
with an accountant and dozens of volunteers who staff the shop.
feel so surrounded by love," said Reasons, president of the market.
"Anytime I look anywhere, I see people who have not only said, 'It's
great that you're doing this,' but put their lives into it."
do it because they hear of the shop's mission, and they want to
contribute, she said. Lamb's Gate Market, which opened last month at 415
9th St., sells fair trade items with all the proceeds going to benefit
an orphanage in Nicaragua.
"Fair trade" is the global concept of
ensuring farmers and artisans in less developed countries are paid
decent wages and have better working conditions.
"We support fair
trade because it offers hope," Reasons said. "It makes a real difference
in the lives of artisans in third-world and developing countries. By
paying a fair wage to the artists for skilled work or to farmers for
careful, organic farming, they can feed their families and also help
develop their own communities."
She loves to explain the concept at the store, which she describes as "the blessing of three-in-one."
only does a purchase at Lamb's Gate Market bless the recipient of the
unique and one-of-a-kind item, but it also blesses the artisan who made
the item or farmed the product," Reasons said. "The third blessing is
that 100 percent of our net proceeds go to Remar Orphanage in Nicaragua.
... That is the best feel-good purchase anyone can make in this holiday
gifting season."
The merchandise comes from Ten Thousand
Villages, a well respected fair trade company. Among the items sold are
art work and other home furnishings, coffee, chocolate, soap, jewelry,
scarves, bags and much more. Pictures of the orphans are placed
throughout the store as a reminder of "why we're doing this," Reasons
The merchandise has been selling well, she said.
"We're thrilled with how the community has embraced this," she said, adding the market is available to host parties as well.
hoping to see more community members shop locally and support the store
so that despite startup costs — which were smaller than most businesses
but still a factor — there will be some money to send to Remar
Orphanage by the end of the year.
For the past 10 years, the
orphanage has gotten much support from members of Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, where Reasons' husband, the Rev. Allen Reasons, is head pastor.
But the store is a new effort to raise funds for the village.
idea came up as Laurie Reasons was transitioning into early retirement
from a career as an airline sales manager, the result of a company
"I felt lost and worried my best days were behind me," she said.
then realized the "sweet Nicaraguan orphanage our church had supported
for more than a decade was in need of much help, and I now had the
time," she said.
The first thing she decided to do was to round up
sponsors for the 80 orphans back in Nicaragua, which provides a
nutrition program that at one time had been successful in previous
Then one day, a friend reminded Laurie Reasons that three
years prior, she and her daughter, Katherine Reasons Pyles, had toyed
with the idea of opening a fair trade store, and that could fund a
revenue stream to provide the orphans with basic necessities, education
and improved housing.
Pyles, who is now vice president of the
market, has a passion for fair trade, even focusing her senior project
at Marshall on hosting a festival sale for Ten Thousand Villages in
"It went so well that she and I began dreaming of the day we
would bring a fair trade store to Huntington," Laurie Reasons said.
"That idea slid to the back burner — until this autumn. The time was
suddenly right.
"The discussions of a business plan were
resurrected, and meetings began in earnest in early September. We opened
the doors to our store about a month later," Laurie Reasons said. "I
understand that this was a shockingly quick process, but when God is
orchestrating an idea, the details magically fall into place."
"magic" was carried out by the help of many community members, inside
and outside Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. The store is not officially
affiliated with the church, though many volunteers have come from it.
Here are a few more examples of support shown to the market:
engineer Matt Withers built the cashier's desk and art professor Brent
Thomas painted the logo — which was designed by Reasons' son, Preston
Reasons of Bulldog Creative — onto the desk.
—CPA Roberta Johnson is offering free bookkeeping services.
—A local attorney who wishes to remain anonymous is donating legal services.
—Kim Jones and Nancy Rigney of Creative Kitchens offered design help and are volunteer staff.
Cline "was our initial benefactor and supporter," Laurie Reasons said.
"His jumping in with both feet at the very beginning is what gave us the
confidence that this business was truly supposed to happen."
local religious organizations are pitching in as well. For example, St.
Joseph schools are helping round up uniforms for the orphans. Our Lady
of Fatima asked if it could include an item about the store in its
bulletin, and First Methodist Church allowed store representatives to
promote the market at a church luncheon.
—Doug Myers, whose family
runs Pita Pit, and Vicky and Pete Cooper of Old Village Roaster,
donated the pallets used to decorate and also delivered them.
Lake of Mug & Pia and Simply Whisk "was instrumental in helping us
get set up," Laurie Reasons said. "She could have viewed us as a
competitor, but instead, she welcomed us with open arms and has since
served as a mentor."
—LoveHappiness Photography volunteered to
design brochures and marketing materials. Third Line Studios has taken
other photos, "unsolicited but much appreciated," Laurie Reasons said.
—Wanda Tolley provided funds for the sign.
—Local optometrist Dr. Chris Ratcliff built drawers for the desk. He and wife, Renee, sponsor two orphans.
A number of local businesses donated glass, furniture and other items.
been fun to watch it happen," Laurie Reasons said. "People with a great
deal of expertise came forward. It's been stunning."
Rigney said helping design the space was just a way to contribute.
kept seeing postings about it on Facebook," she said. "I always wanted
to go (on a mission trip to Nicaragua) and haven't gone, so I just said,
'What can I do?'"
Following the experience, she's now planning to make a trip to Nicaragua in February.
Another volunteer is Lindsay Yeager, who brings her new baby along for her shifts.
husband and I were blessed with our firstborn in July, so I knew
traveling to Nicaragua wasn't in our near future," Yeager said.
"Volunteering at Lamb's Gate is my way of thanking God for the many
blessings in my life, along with helping the orphanage (where our
family's sponsored child lives)."
Bringing her son is a way to demonstrate the importance of giving back, she said.
"It's our job to show we are Christians by our love," she said. "This is how I show my love."

New England sees surge in heroinBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | May 13,2013MONTPELIER A rise in heroin abuse in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire is being blamed partly on aggressive marketing by out-of-state drug dealers and the higher cost of prescription drugs sold illegally on the streets.
In Vermont, Rutland Police Chief James Baker calls the spike in heroin use mind boggling. Manchester Police Chief David Mara says hes seen a definite uptick in heroin cases in New Hampshires largest city.
In Maine, Portland is reporting terrible consequences from increased heroin use 14 drug overdoses in a single month, including four in one 24-hour period. One person died of a suspected overdose.
The outbreak has been so bad in Portland it prompted a community warning from police, fire and health officials.
Vermonts U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin blames simple economic forces.
If you get addicted to prescription pills, its really hard financially to keep that up, he said. Heroin is cheaper.
Coffin is leading federal, state and local officers in a crackdown and warns dealers there will be serious consequences for them in the hunt for easy profits. Special multi-agency teams have been set up to share information and target offenders while also stepping up educational efforts and treatment programs.
Coffin said authorities saw the crisis coming as far back as 2009 when experts on opiate addiction sounded a warning at a meeting in Vermont.
Officials with the Maine Drug Enforcement Administration say the agency also anticipated users would switch from prescription narcotics to heroin because of a diminishing supply of prescription drugs on the streets.
Thats been a concern for a good number of years, said agency Director Roy McKinney. Were talking about opiates, whether its synthetic coming through pharmacies or from heroin. Those people whore addicted to that drug theyre going to go wherever theres the least resistance to satisfy their dependence.
In Manchester, Mara suspects the surge in heroin cases was fed by oxycodone and painkiller addicts who switched to heroin because they can no longer afford to buy pills on the streets. An 80 milligram tablet sells for about $80 compared to a bag of heroin that costs about $15, he said.
Anthony Pettigrew of Boston, a spokesman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency office for New England, said no single factor explains why heroin abuse has spiked but he agrees users are switching from prescription pills to heroin and dealers are aggressively marketing the drug.
As people see the cost of getting a painkilling opiate go up, sometimes they look for heroin as a cheaper alternative, Pettigrew said. The other area is profit. People are going to try to make money on selling heroin.
So if they can move heroin from New York or Philly or Boston or Lowell and Lawrence up into Vermont and make a significant profit, they are going to do that, Pettigrew said.
In the past, heroin arrived in Maine in prepackaged one-dose bags. Now law enforcement officials say they are seeing larger amounts coming into the state, where the drug is then milled and packaged, McKinney said.
Earlier this month, Kennebec County officials seized 3 ounces of heroin, the equivalent of about 4,000 doses. Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said it was the largest seizure hed seen in 20 years.
In Vermont, police have been arresting suspected dealers with large amounts of heroin, cash and in some cases guns. Most of the drugs come from New York or other East Coast cities, from western Massachusetts, or farther away from Detroit and Chicago.
Baker said opiate addiction in the Rutland area is the worst hes seen in his 35 years of policing.
Vermont health officials are making it easier for people to get methadone services through existing centers, many of which are being expanded while new ones are opening up.
State Deputy Health Commissioner Barbara Cimaglio said, Were creating a more integrated network, which will result in better treatment, more capacity and more comprehensive services.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe progress to get the historic Robinson Sawmill up and running again in Calais is slow going,...

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (AP) -- Rick Santorum's advisers outlined a new strategy for staying on message in the hours after he lost to Mitt Romney in Michigan's Republican presidential primary.
Just as quickly, the strategy fell by the wayside, a victim of the disorganization that's marked the Santorum.
Romney is almost painfully consistent when pounding his message about jobs and the economy. The Santorum campaign says the former Pennsylvania senator is the lone candidate in the Republican race who has the courage to talk about all the issues.
A Republican operative, Michael Dennehy, says the Santorum campaign could be much better when it comes to discipline.

Is the Maryland Athletics Department just feeding misinformation to Dienhart to make the Terps coaching search a little more interesting? Or is the Leach-to-Maryland movement actually "losing juice"?
Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson made it official on Monday. The school has fired Ralph Friedgen, buying out his contract for $2 million. Is Mike Leach on his way to College Park?
Maryland Press Conference Open Thread
Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani has been given a contract extension through the 2015 season.
I guess we'll finally find out what's going on at 3:00 today. It will be interesting to see if Friedgen is there or not and whether they name a successor at that time... There is a link on the above link to watch the press conference at 3:00...maybe we should have an open thread for it?
One of Frank Beamer's best friends in the coaching business will soon need a job. Should he bring him onto his staff?
If you can't schedule BC, become a head coach in a conference where your programs gets to play the Eagles? Randy Edsall hasn't exactly been shy about his desire to coach a "BCS program" over the past few years, and it looks like Edsall is showing interest in the head coaching position at Maryland. It sounds like it's Leach or bust in College Park, but Edsall to Maryland is certainly intriguing. The guys at Testudo Times are all over the Maryland coaching search.
Why Maryland Needed To Move On From Ralph Friedgen
With Ralph Friedgen out at Maryland, is former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach in? Impact on the future of the ACC Atlantic Division race.
Interesting article about Ralph Friegden. Looks like Maryland may force him out and go after Mike Leach. That could be a HUGE pain in the butt for FSU down the line, don't want to see Leach in the ACC. I also laughed when they said Mike Locksley from New Mexico would be a candidate. I hope Maryland goes after him!!!

The last royal capital of Myanmar, Mandalay has awe-inspiring temples and monasteries worthy of legends. Among the highlights are the gold leaf-rich Mahamuni Buddha Pagoda, the teak Shwenandaw Kyaung (Golden Palace Monastery), the reconstructed Mandalay Palace, and Kuthodaw Pagoda. Surrounding Mandalay are the former kingdoms of Mingun, Inwa, Sagaing and Amarapura, site of U Bein Bridge, the longest teak bridge in the world.

Thingyan, the Burmese New Year Water Festival in mid-April, is a good time to be in Mandalay. Other notable festivals include Thadingyut Light Festival at the end of Buddhist Lent and the Tazaungdine, another festival of light marking the end of the rainy season.
