Our ESA Fellows
It's a career high.
Three University of California professors were among the 10 inducted as Fellows at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting held Dec. 13-16 in Indianapolis.
The three are chemical ecologist Walter Leal of UC Davis, and UC Riverside entomologists Brian Federici and Alexander Raikhel.
When you consider that the ESA selects only 10 members--or not more than 10--each year from its 6000-member roster to become Fellows, that's indeed a high honor.ESA spokesperson Richard Levine says that Fellows are selected for their outstanding contributions in one or more of the following areas: research, teaching, extension, or administration.
The accomplishments of Leal, Federici and Raikhel could fill several books.
An insect-net salute to the UC trio!
ESA Fellows
Double Honor
It's quite an honor to be elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
And it's a double honor when two persons from the same department at the same university receive the honor the very same year.
That's what happened today.
Professors Richard "Rick" Karban and Jay Rosenheim of the Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, were both named Fellows. They're among the 531 new Fellows announced today--with eight from UC Davis. Fellows are selected by their peers for their "scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications."
Karban was selected for "distinguished contributions to the field of plant-herbivore interactions, particularly for work on induced plant resistance and volatile cues used by plants" and Rosenheim for "distinguished contributions to the field of ecology, particularly for empirical and theoretical contributions to our understanding of insect predator-prey and host-parasitoid interactions."
Rosenheim and Karban share a love of entomology, research and teaching. You can read more about their accomplishments here.
The UC Davis Department of Entomology now has a total of seven AAAS Fellows: James Carey, elected in 2000; Bruce Eldridge, elected in 1981; Waler Leal, 2006; Robert Page (UC Davis emeritus professor who's now at Arizona State University), 2006; Thomas Scott, 2007, and now Karban and Rosenheim
Rosenheim, who joined the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty in 1990, received another outstanding honor earlier this year: he was honored by the Associated Students of UC Davis for excellence in the classroom. In fact, he was singled as the most outstanding teacher in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
And Karban? Since joining the UC Davis Department of Entomology in 1982, he's graduated 14 graduate students or post-docs; 13 are professors at top institutions, including UC Davis (3) and Cornell (3).

Great Pollinator Site
What a treasure!
Have you seen the Xerces Society's new online Pollinator Conservation Resource Center?
This is something that's long been needed. It's a wealth of information--that's why it's a treasure.
As Matthew Shepherd of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation says: "...the resource center gives access to all you need to complete a pollinator conservation project in any region of the United States. When you visit the resource center, select your region from the map to access plant lists, details of creating and managing nest sites, pesticide protection guides, and practical guidance on planning and implementing habitat projects on farmlands, gardens, golf courses, parks, and wildlands."
"We want the resource center to be the most comprehensive source of pollinator conservation information currently online and will update it as often as we can, adding new materials as they become available."
Shepherd says the resource center is "the result of a collaboration with Neal Williams of the University of California, Davis. In particular, we thank Katharina Ullmann, previously with the Xerces Society and now a member of Neal Williams' research group, for gathering many of the resources."
Among the others lending their expertise: native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis who maintains an office in the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility.
How easy is it to use this site?
Very easy.
Say, for example, you want to plant a bee friendly garden. All you do is click on a link and you'll know what to plant seasonally in your area and what each plant will attract. Then you can click on the various pollinators to see what they look like.
If this Web site were gold, it would be in Fort Knox.

Battling Dengue and Malaria
Meet Kelly Liebman and Wei Xu.
They're graduate students and mosquito researchers in the Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, who just received the 2009 William Hazeltine Memorial Research Fellowship Awards.
Liebman, a dengue researcher in the lab of medical entomologist-professor Thomas Scott, received $1800, and Wei Xu, a malaria researcher in the lab of chemical ecologist-professor Walter Leal, received $1000.
Both are working toward their doctorate degrees.
Liebman, currently in Peru, is studying the human blood-feeding patterns of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the Amazonian city of Iquitos, a city with all four dengue virus serotypes.
"Over the past three decades, dengue virus (DENV) as emerged as one of the most important arthropod-borne viral infections of humans, causing as many as 50 million infections worldwide each year," Liebman wrote in her application. "The mosquito vector of DENV, Aedes aegypti, is exceedingly efficient because it feeds frequently and almost exclusively on humans."
Liebman received her master's degree in public health from Yale University and her bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Xu's research targets malaria, a parasitic disease which kills more than one million people and infects some 500 million a year. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in Africa, but the disease is also found in tropical and subtropical parts of Asia and the Americas.
Xu, whose work involves chemical ecology, or how insects detect smells, received his bachelor's degree in microbiology and his master's degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from Zhongshan University, China.
The award memorializes William "Bill" Hazeltine (1926-1994), He managed the Lake County Mosquito Abatement District from 1961-64 and the Butte County Mosquito Abatement District from 1966-1992. He continued work on related projects until his death in 1994.
He was an ardent supporter of the judicious use of public health pesticides to protect public health.
Hazeltine studied entomology in the UC Berkeley graduate program, 1950-53, and received his doctorate in entomology from Purdue University in 1962.
Eldridge's eulogy offers insight into the life and work of Bill Hazeltine, "a man who made a difference."
"He was a medical entomologist who had a varied career in the field of mosquito biology and control," Eldridge said, "but he will forever be remembered as a man who fought in the trenches of the pesticide controversy from roughly 1960 until the end of his life, and who made the safe and efficient use of pesticides in public health a personal crusade."
You can read about the fascinating life of William Hazeltine in this PDF.
His passion and commitment live on through the student research fellowships that bear his name.

Making the Cut
The cold, blustery storm that swept over Northern California over the last two weeks wiped out the rock purslane (Calandrinia grandiflora) and with it the "meeting place" of assorted insects: honey bees, leafcutter bees, ladybugs, bumble bees, potter wasps, et al.
But last August we spotted a male leafcutting bee, Megachile sp., on the rock purslane. Nearby, a redbud tree showed evidence of a "been there-done that" female leafcutter. She had trimmed a little off the edge of the leaf for her solitary ground nest. Leafcutter bees, as their name implies, cut leaves for their nests.
That's a good sign.
It is so important to provide bee friendly gardens for our pollinators, such as honey bees, bumble bees and leafcutter bees. Their survival, in many ways, depends on us.
To encourage them, plant bee friendly gardens, provide nesting sites and refrain from using pesticides.
Speaking of native bees, leafcutting bees are among those featured on the soon-to-be-mailed calendar sponsored by the non-profit Xerces Society and the Great Sunflower Project and assembled by Bay Area native bee enthusiast Celeste Ets-Hokin, with photographs by entomologist-insect photographer Rollin Coville, also of the Bay Area. The deadline to order the native bee calendar closed Nov. 30 (however, a few--a very few--may still be available from the sponsors).
Meanwhile, those of who us treasured the native bees in our gardens last spring and summer will treasure this calendar all year around.
This is a bee that cuts it.

From the West Alabama Newsroom-- Law enforcement agencies from across Central and South Alabama are in Selma learning how to effectively respond to a hostage situation.
The training is part of 18th annual Law Enforcement Training Conference sponsored by the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Dallas Co. District Attorney.
"Given what's going on in the world with a lot of people running around with guns and taking hostages officers need to know how to respond," said Dallas Co. District Attorney Michael Jackson.
About 30 law enforcement agencies and 130 officers are taking part in the two-day conference. The conference also provides networking opportunities for federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
"So it's connecting the locals with the federal services and things like that to make sure that they know what those services are," said Southern District U.S. Attorney Kenyen Brown.
Other areas of training at the conference include-- apprehending violent offenders -- school safety -- and death notifications.

Mark Rein also says Unreal Engine 4 trumps Zelda tech demo. We are speculating that the Wii U will feature an Unreal Engine 4 game at launch.
Epic Games's Vice President, Mark Rein, says that Unreal Engine 4 betters the Wii U
Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games, has been talking a lot about their next engine, Unreal Engine 4. Even with the Game Developers Conference out of the way, that hasn't stopped him from talking about the next generation of consoles.
In an interview with Eurogamer during GDC this year, Rein said he was confident in the Wii U being a success. He also revealed he had played Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U, saying that "they [Nintendo] are doing some really cool stuff with the controller."
Rein also commented on the Legend of Zelda tech demo that debuted at E3 last year, saying that Unreal Engine 3 – its current engine – can go beyond that.
He also commented on if people are willing to buy the console, particularly because the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles are expected to be announced at this year's E3. He believes that parents are "probably ready to buy their kids an HD Wii." He thinks that Nintendo will "shock us" at this year's E3.
Eurogamer also asked Rein whether Epic would be involved in a title for the Wii U: "it's just a matter of picking and choosing what we do," he said.
Rumors abound for Wii U
The Wii U has been the subject of plenty of rumours pre- and post-E3. There were rumours last year that GTA V could be heading to the console (though not directly confirmed). A source speaking to GameSpot said that the title was "pretty likely" to release in 2012, and could release around the same time as the Wii U launch considering Max Payne 3 isn't launching until May.
Also, sources revealed information on how the controllers will work in practice. In a rumour on the next Sonic the Hedgehog game – called Sonic Dimensions – TSSZ News said the revised Wii U remote and its touchscreen would help players destroy enemies and activate powers.
Develop-online also reported that the console could support two tablets, rather than the one shown off at E3 last year, with Nintendo engineers upgrading the console to support two at the same time.

GBPJPY – Another currency cross to watch
Another good possibility for early next week could be the GBPJPY, It is trading in a very strong bearish market condition and the next LR support level is around 127.63. It is currently trading at 131.12, so we have more than 350 pips before we reach the next level:
I'm going to see how the GBPJPY behaves around the ST resistance level, if I get something significant with downward pressure, I'll definitely go short.
Another possibility is getting a breakout signal around the ST support level.
Have a great weekend!

Thailand approves $4.4b budget in rice intervention scheme
Published on Mar 31, 2013 3:53 PM
CHACHOENGSAO, Thailand (REUTERS) - Thailand's cabinet has approved a 105 billion baht (S$4.4 billion) budget to buy 7 million tonnes of paddy rice, as part of its rice intervention scheme for the 2012/13 production year, a government official said on Sunday.
The buying period for off-season rice was set from Feb 1 to Sept 15, 2013, government spoksman Tossaporn Serirak Tossaporn said, adding rice less than 110 days old would not be accepted in the scheme.
"The budget will be part of the 410 billion baht scheme the government approved on September 13, 2011," he told reporters.
Thailand intervenes in the rice market each year to support millions of farmers, but the scheme launched in October 2011 guaranteed prices so generous that they have caused huge stockpiles, hit exports and strained finances.

I just found out that my husband had a brief affair for a few months last year. My husband says that he still loves me but I am not sure if I believe him.How can I trust that what he is saying is the truth when he lied to me and cheated?
Sincerely: Hurt and Confused
Dear Hurt and Confused
When it comes to sex with women, men are 100% different than women. Men have the ability to compartmentalize their feelings so that it is just sex and nothing more where as women have a harder time separating both the emotional and physical aspects of sex. Now I'm not trying to condone what your husband did, but there is an element of truth to what he is saying. It is quite possible that it was sex and nothing more, but let's explore this in more detail.
His Actions Are Not An Indication Of His True Feelings
This is a bone of contention with most readers. But let me try and explain why having an affair doesn't mean that your husband doesn't love you. I realize a lot of people don't agree on this one but I believe that infidelity does not mean that the cheater doesn't love his wife. For example a man might be totally faithful to his wife but beat her senseless behind closed doors. Are we to assume then that since he didn't cheat on her that he loves her more?
When given the chance to explain and clarify their feelings, most cheaters will acknowledge their mistake but at the same time admit they never fell out of love with their spouse. In most cases they will tell you that the affair happened not out of lust but out of their own insecurities. But the victim here thinks differently. They often believe that the cheater is just saying this to make them feel better. But I believe them and I'll tell you why.
Firstly, you'll see through their insincerity. If the cheater has made their life transparent and has nothing to hide then their actions will follow suit. The second indicator that a cheater is sincere and wants to change their ways is evident in the fact that they have cut off all contact with the other woman. And on a slightly different note, family therapists and research experts have noted that affairs are generally triggered by stressful situations in people's lives, leading them to feel vulnerable and unsure of themselves.
Don't misunderstand me here I'm not defending what he did. Feeling insecure about yourself is no excuse to cheat. Many men struggle with similar issues and manage to stay faithful to their wives. But it's important to know that they have chosen this path because of personal issues, not because they don't love their wives.
How Do I Know He Still Cares For Me?
One of the most common questions women have after an affair is this: "How can I be certain he's still in love with me?" How can I believe a single thing he's said when he's already lied to me?" The answer to this is founded in his actions, not his words. As mentioned before, look at his behavior towards you.
Now before I list the actions you need to look for from your man, let me start by saying that just because you don't see every single one of these doesn't mean he doesn't love you. It's possible your man could be feeling sheepish and defensive at the moment and doesn't know quite what to do next. Try telling him exactly what you expect from him. In many cases, cheaters want to make things right in the relationship but they don't what their spouse needs or how to give it to them.
Cheaters have feelings too, so one thing you want to look for is if they're remorseful for their actions. How he displays this remorse might vary from man to man. Maybe he doesn't spend all day apologizing or begging for forgiveness. However, his actions should show you that he's disappointed with himself and he may even be scared at the prospect of losing you. Maybe he slumps his shoulders and looks worn and drawn out. He may look angry, but he's not angry with you, he's angry with himself and his foolish decisions. Women incorrectly assume that this anger is directed at them, but it's not.
The next thing the cheater should do is ask his wife for specific things he can do to reassure her. He might even try and display physical affection towards her. However, a lot of men will have a hard time with this because they are worried that the last thing you want is physical attention. Most cheating men assume that the very sight of them repulses their wives. However, this shouldn't come as a shock after an affair. However, what they're really doing is getting a feel for things so they have an idea of what to do next.
Lastly, the best way to know if your husband still loves you after his affair is the fact that he's still with you. And when the dust settles that's what counts – that he's still present. This doesn't mean you drive him away to see if he'll stay with you. Be true to yourself and your feelings and act accordingly. Maybe your husband doesn't show every behavior. Perhaps you're not getting what you think you need or want at the moment from him. If you're not, don't be afraid to tell him and give him the opportunity to show you he cares.

Beautiful nightstands that are the perfect height for our somewhat high bed. Great quality. We had one that was delivered damaged and notified customer service who very promptly sent out a replacement. These are beautiful and I would highly recommend them. And, to top it all off, kudos to the great customer service if you do end up with a defective item.
The tables came fully assembled and packed to perfection. They look very rich with our metal bed which has the same metal as the table's pulls. Definitely worth the money - these are quality night stands.
These are so stylish and modern. There was a slight chip in one of the nightstands under the lip of the top drawer but not noticeable. They are excellent value for money and look expensive.
The nightstands arrived in 2 separate extremely well packaged boxes. Removing them from the box was a pleasant surprise... heavy weight, excellent quality furniture. Well made and stylish too. They have a great contemporary design and look really fantastic in our guest bedroom. I'm so happy I found them and now highly recommend this furniture.
Great side table. Beautiful color and great quality.
Bought the matching dresser last year so decided to add the nightstand. Love the style and quality of this product. Perfect height for my king bed and came fully assembled which was a big plus for this grandma.
The chest is very heavy; it ships completely assembled in a huge box. In shipment the bottom drawers shifted and the wood holding the drawer slides to the drawer splintered. Overstock was very responsive; it turned out replacement drawers weren't available, so I repaired the damage using white glue & clamps over several days (I'd saved all the pieces). If this happens to you, be patient, find a carpeted area where you can disassemble the drawers and where they won't be disturbed while you repair them, and your patience will be rewarded. There was no damage to the exterior finish of the pieces. We bought one of these (which arrived damaged) and liked the style so much we ordered another one (which arrived damaged in the same place). The wood that the drawer slides are attached to is very light, almost like balsa wood. The construction of the case seems to be particle board with wood veneer. The finish and the exterior hardware is gorgeous. We love these night stands. They are just the right height for bedside lamps. The drawers have a very unusual style with drawer fronts that are slightly angled. Beautiful brushed metal drawer pulls. They are made in Indonesia. We love them!
I ordered two nightstands and both arrived more quickly than I expected. They were fully assembled and packed very, very well, yet both were a little banged up when I cut the packing off. I guess it must have happened at the factory. I wasn't crazy about that, but there not enough damage to make a complaint. I used a black magic marker to conceal the chips which worked pretty well. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied with my choice. The furniture is beautiful, solidly constructed and stylish. I would recommend to friends.
Great quality. Already assembled. Nice look. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!
We are upgrading from Ikea furniture. This stuff is "adult"! Very solid, the pulls look very high end (think RH) and nicely finished. A little banged up in shipping, but in areas that don't really matter. Certainly not a big enough issue to return them, just needs some stain stick.

GZA GeoEnvironmental moves to Bedford
GZA district office manager John Murphy stands in the lobby of GZA GeoEnvironmental's new office in Bedford, which is nearly twice the size of the firm's former office. (CASSIDY SWANSON/Union Leader correspondent)
BEDFORD — Environmental and geotechnical firm GZA GeoEnvironmental has moved its base of operations in New Hampshire from Manchester to Bedford, expanding its office space and overall presence in the Granite State.
"We love it here in Bedford," said John Murphy, district office manager at GZA Bedford. "It's a great community, a great space, and we're very happy to be here."
Murphy, of Derry, said the firm had been in its Manchester office for 20 years and outgrew the space. GZA's new office, at 5 Commerce Park North is almost double the size of the Manchester office and allows for the continued growth of GZA's core service areas, including environmental, geotechnical, ecology, water resources and construction management.
"It has new technology for our staff and just provides facilities to help expanding our practices across the board," Murphy said on Thursday. "It'll also help tie together our operations in northern New England," which includes offices in Keene and Portland, Maine.
According to Murphy, GZA, based in Norwood, Mass., provides a variety of engineering, consulting and construction management services for its clients. The company employs about 550 people in 26 offices. The Bedford office is the second largest after Norwood, employing 40 engineers.
Murphy said that the company is seeing significant growth in all practice areas as the economy continues to improve.
"Our fiscal year ending 2014 was our most profitable year ever," he said. "We're seeing expansion in a number of different areas. We're making not only organic growth internally with strategic hires, but we've also made several acquisitions in the last several years, with an expanded effort in new practice areas."
Murphy said GZA is looking to expand further into the Midwest, especially in oil and gas.
On the home front, Murphy said the company is hiring new staff for the Bedford office.
"We're looking to grow and expand not only our core services, but also look into new services to provide solutions to our clients," he said. GZA hopes to hire civil, environmental, geotechnical and chemical engineers, as well as environmental scientists, hyrdrogeologists, natural resource scientists, and construction professionals with experience in management.
"We're seeing tremendous growth in the ecological area…and also the construction management area," Murphy said.
Murphy said GZA has alreaded started to get involved in its new community, getting to know the area and giving back.
"We have several staff that are involved with regional activities, and we want to try "We've crossed the river from Manchester to Bedford, and we obviously have close ties to Manchester, and those will remain, but we're trying to expand those ties more into Bedford and get more involved with the community here to help out," Murphy said. "We have a focus on giving back as part of our sustainability program through charitable donations, volunteering or providing support as needed."
GZA already supports the March of Dimes, the Salvation Army, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and the New Hampshire Food Bank.
"We also support many other groups, events and organizations throughout the year," Murphy said. "We are getting settled into our new updated space here in Bedford and look forward to learning about new opportunities to support the Bedford community."
The opening of this new office in Bedford is another step in GZA's ongoing growth, Murphy said.
"I've been with the company 26 years, I've seen it evolve over that period, and it continues to expand and grow," he said. "We try and provide innovative solutions to our clients, and we're the leading engineering firm in the state. We continue to try to do what we can to help the local community. We all live here, work here, and play here in New Hampshire….Any time we can help out, we do."

Most companies that provide telephone sales or service support can benefit from interaction recordings to reduce their liability. Advanced call recording and desktop recording solutions create an electronic "paper trail" to monitor each component of the customer interaction, to support:
- Regulatory compliance
- Dispute resolution
- Agent training
Regulatory Compliance
While many industry regulations don't explicitly require that customer calls be recorded, a recording may be used to settle a claim against a company's behavior in relation to the act. For companies that are recording for regulatory compliance purposes, these same recordings have potential for use in dispute resolution.
Dispute Resolution
Proof is often necessary to mediate and resolve customer disputes. Having access to detailed call and desktop recording data provides the verifiable facts you need to quickly mediate and resolve disputes.
Uptivity's call and desktop recording solutions provide support for common disputes, such as:
- Sales verification. Billing disputes can be addressed by documenting full and complete disclosure of the terms of the sale, and expressed consent for payment.
- Insurance claims. Recorded calls can be used to resolve disputes related to insurance claims, where a recording of the primary claim is leveraged to validate what coverage was granted or denied, based on the information provided by the caller at the time of the claim.
- Employee misconduct. Recorded calls can be quickly reviewed to determine if improper conduct occurred, to what extent, and when.
Agent Training
Using recordings in your training environment is an effective way to prevent liability issues from arising. By identifying areas of potential disputes, agent behavior can be corrected through coaching and training, ensuring that proper procedures and protocol are followed.
Uptivity's Liability Recording Solution
Uptivity's solution makes liability recording easy, providing:
- Advanced call and desktop recording — for a complete view of customer interactions.
- 100 percent, random, or on-demand recording.
- Rapid search, retrieval, and playback capabilities.
- The ability to export and distribute recordings for simplified dispute resolution.
- Role-based security and encryption capabilities, to ensure regulatory compliance.

A pretty nice (but not much known) piece in apt is the "mirror" method that will automatically select a good mirror based on your location. Putting:
deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt natty main restricted universe multiverse
on the top in your sources.list should be all that is needed to make it automatically pick a mirror for you based on your geographical location. With the recent apt upload some issues (mostly in the UI) have been fixed and it should be in good shape now. Feedback for this feature is welcome!

Nice feature indeed. Is http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt dynamically generated depending on the source IP of the client?
foo Says:
March 22, 2011 at 11:00 am |
Why isn't your blog on Planet Debian too?
Aaron Says:
March 22, 2011 at 1:16 pm |
Nifty! Might this become default the behaviour in the future? (i.e. the default Ubuntu sources.list pointing to the mirror:// method instead of a round-robin server which is nowhere local to me)
Marco Says:
March 22, 2011 at 1:40 pm |
This is EXACTLY what I needed when my local mirrors listed in Lucid went offline. It was a pain to find out where to update the mirror list without breaking the software-sources interface.
This should seriously be considered the default option.
Colin Watson Says:
March 23, 2011 at 10:22 am |
Aaron, Marco: I'd definitely be up for making this the default in the Ubuntu installer after a release or so of people using it and it being fairly stable. (I tried it in the past and it wasn't quite there; I haven't yet tried Michael's recent improvements but I'm looking forward to doing so.)
Donald Clark Says:
July 1, 2011 at 12:04 am |
It breaks functionality for those expecting to be able to parse the output of apt-get –print-uris in another script. axel, nor wget support mirror://
Not a show stopper, but surely an annoyance.
mirabilos Says:
September 14, 2011 at 8:58 am |
Why isn't this documented in the sources.list manpage?
Apparently the functionality was already there for hardy…
(also, why can the mirror list not be given as file?)
There doesn't seem to be *any* documentation for it.
Michael Vogt Says:
September 14, 2011 at 9:55 am |
Thanks for your feedback. This is indeed undocumented and I'm sorry for that. One reason is that the server part is not quite as good as it could be at this point so the priority for this was not that high. About the file url, that is a excellent idea and I need to look into this.
Matt Domsch Says:
October 19, 2011 at 6:17 pm |
Michael – I'm just now seeing this, and think it's great new functionality for apt. I'd like to explore how your mirrorlist text file is generated today, to see if MirrorManager could do likewise for you.
Ubuntu release upgrade | Notes and more Says:
November 21, 2012 at 11:42 am |
[…] After my previous problem trying to update my Ubuntu server running 10.04 I tried to do a release upgrade. Before I was able to do this I had to change the sources.list again, this time I used the mirror schema as recommended here. […]
micah Says:
January 30, 2013 at 1:35 am |
I see that this functionality is in debian's apt as well, but I cannot find a debian archive that has a mirrors.txt. Is that the only piece that is missing from debian to make this work there? Do you know how that is generated?

Had a great time at the Razz Room seeing Justin Vivian Bond. If you are a fan of great cabaret, please do not miss this performer. She is wonderful live. As for the venue, it is very nice, comfortable, not fancy. Staff is very nice. Service is excellent. Menu could stand some improvement. I didn't try the food because nothing appealed to me. Prices are slightly high. Very happy that a genuine cabaret has opened in New Hope! Let's keep it in business.

In fairness, I can't *really* review the experience except to say that I showed up (after driving for an hour) and was told that the show had been canceled and yet no one informed us in advance. And they didn't notify Goldstar to tell us.

Fortune 2010 Business Person of the Year: Netflix CEO Reed Hastings
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is a cover boy — specifically, the cover of Fortune, as he was named the magazine's 2010 Business Person of the Year.
Other tech and media movers and shakers to crack the list of 50 included Apple CEO Steve Jobs (No. 3), Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (No. 4), Baidu CEO Robin Li (No. 6), Oracle CEO Larry Ellison (No. 7), Amazon CEO Jeffrey Bezos (No. 10), Google CEO Eric Schmidt (No. 11), Zynga CEO Mark Pincus (No. 12), IBM CEO Sam Palmisano (No. 15), salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff (No. 18), Andreessen Horowitz general partner Marc Andreessen (No. 19), Disney CEO Bob Iger (No. 22), Twitter CEO Dick Costolo (No. 24), Pandora founder Tim Westergren (No. 26), Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes (No. 27), DirecTV CEO Michael White (No. 32), Samsung Electronics CEO Geesung Choi (No. 39), Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (No. 43), and Mail.ru Group CEO Yuri Milner (No. 46).
Fortune reporter Peter Newcomb wrote on Hastings:
What does it take to be at the top of business in 2010? We searched for leaders who didn't just crawl from the wreckage of the Great Recession, but sprinted from it. This year, Hastings has thrown his company's muscle behind delivering television and movies over the Internet, risking his $2 billion-in-sales DVD-by-mail business. The result: a company that has grown from a gnat to a giant. Now when deals are made in media, the increasingly important question is, "What's the Netflix piece?"
And Hastings told Fortune:
We are in a new race, and we are a player with some very large and substantial firms. Just to be in that league is an amazing place from where we were.

Polo last night was the coldest night for Lancaster United in the winter season. Coming in at a toasty 20 something degrees (which felt like 17, according to the weather witchpriests at WGAL 8), we had to bundle up and try to ignore cold toes until the frostbite set in.
The cold didn't necessarily have an impact on play – we were just as wild and goofy as ever. I was expecting a little bit of slow-down simply because it should be harder to pedal with 4 layers of underpants on, but apparently that really has no effect on ability – go figure. The never-nudes were on to something.
Outside of remembering that my beard can indeed form icicles, the night brought the regular treasure trove of lessons and insights that I gather from any good night of pickup (ok – even the bad nights teach me a thing or two).
For one thing, I did pretty well with staying on offense. How-ev-er, I also knew when it was important to go back on defense or play in goal. Having the resolution to stay up and make all of those horrible shots is all well and good, but being able to balance that with defense is an important skill, too. The rule of wrist I use is this: if we are up by 2, or down by 1 with 1 minute or so to play, I'll play up without regard for the goal. If we are down by 2, or up by 1 with a minute or so left to play, I'll try not to cross the mid-court.
Also recognize, dear reader, that this isn't a hard and fast rule. It's more of a guideline for myself, really.
Another thing I picked up on was how well our new players are doing with developing their own skill sets. Hylon is becoming an outstanding pick and defense player, while Sabrina is showing some great leaps and bounds at passing and knowing when to shoot. It's kismet that it looks like we have a new defensive and a new offensive player forming up. Balance, ftw.
We also had Joe come out, who played a few times in the past and managed to escape work to come play again. He is already epic at bike control and really didn't need much coaxing when it came to good plays. I kinda wish he'd come out on the regular, as I'm sure he'd probably become a strong player in short order.
Lastly, I was reminded of how well (at least for me) slowing down the game works. Whenever I get the ball and want to move it up court and there are defenders in the way, I slow way down. A mix of left-handedness and positioning let me get around a good amount of players and get to an open shot. This doesn't pan out so well for me if I try to rush past players, as more often than not they have a higher chance to strip the ball from me or I get panicked and fail to make a decent shot.
Anyway, that's what I learned last night. It took until this morning for my fingers to unfreeze.

2 Items Found
- Keplinger Sumo 2011 Product #27920 (In Stock)
Helen's husband/partner DJ calls this Petite Sirah blend the "velvet sledghamer." About right, I think! Delicious now with air, but even better next year. Just 190 cases made of this ripe, perfectly balanced, explosive red.
"Keplinger's 2011 Sumo tastes like a young wine right out of tank, such is the purity of its fruit. Cloves, menthol, tar, licorice and blueberries meld together in an intense, inky Petite Sirah loaded with class. I would drink the 2011 early and cellar the 2010 for another few years. A juicy, expressive finish rounds out this soft, beautifully contoured wine. In 2011 Sumo is 85% Petite Sirah, 13% Syrah and 4% Viognier." Antonio Galloni 93 points
- Keplinger Lithic 2011 Product #27919 (In Stock)
Helen Keplinger continues to be one of Napa's "hottest" winemakers, building on her experience working in Priorat and in California at Bryant and with the likes of Heidi Barrett, Kathy Joseph, and David Abreu. We're fortunate to get a few cases of her Lithic blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah, and this year's Lithic is as perfumed and layered as ever, with a captivating vibrancy and juicier personality than in the past. Aromas of violets, mineral dust, anise, and blue and black berry fruits lead to a mouthful of black fruit, licorice, and spice that unfurls with air. Lovely tannin here in a difficult vintage - broad but very fine grained and plush. A focused mineral streak recalls the Chateauneuf du Pape this mirrors, but the fruit and flavors are distinctively California. Long, lovely, and limited - just 230 cases made.
"Dark red cherries, menthol, tobacco and savory herbs are some of the many notes that flesh out in the 2011 Lithic. Even with all of its early appeal, the Lithic boasts tremendous depth and has the pedigree to develop beautifully for a number of years. The polished finish is striking, but today, the Lithic is showing just a hint of its potential. The blend is 46% Grenache, 31% Mourvedre and 23% Syrah, with the Mourvedre and Syrah clearly dominating today. All of the fruit was sourced from Shake Ridge Vineyard in Amador." Antonio Galloni 92 points
"Edgy and rustic, with a dense, potent core of road tar, dark berry, black licorice and raspberry, this is a vital young wine that begs for cellaring, delivering purity, complexity and density. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2015 through 2028. 230 cases made."Wine Spectator 94 points

Robinson Hill Road – Guest post by a co-workerPosted: September 26, 2012 Filed under: Article of the Week, Friends Rides, Motorcycle Safety, Motorcycling 1 Comment
A co-worker of mine had a scary close call a little while back. I asked him to write down what happened so I could share it with you all. Here is what he wrote:
Picture this… a steep downhill stretch of road that's over a half mile long with a sweeping left-hand curve at the bottom. Now imagine that you're below, on your motorcycle, approaching that same curve ready to head up the hill. What you don't know is there's a car barreling down the hill having lost its brakes. Off to the right, woods block your vision so everything seems perfectly normal until you catch your first glimpse of the car rounding the bend at a meteoric rate of speed. Suddenly your ride home is now a game of survival and the odds are not in your favor! For me, this daydream became all too real.
Many emotions go through your head at a time like that. My first thought upon seeing the speeding car was "what an idiot!" Too often cars come down that hill too fast but never like this. This was different. I could immediately see they were on the edge of control but it looked like amid the screeching of tires they might actually save it. Then the car lost its grip with the road and slammed into the outer guard rail with a crunch. Now I'm thinking "Wow! I just witnessed an accident." However, the car bounced off the guard rail and shot back across the road into my lane, now totally out of control. It was at this point that I started (finally) to get alarmed. Remember I'm on my bike still moving up the hill and the gap is closing in a hurry. There's a ditch to my right and a guard rail to my left. I don't have a lot of options. My thoughts now are "I'm going to be part OF the accident!"
The car continued to careen towards me while teetering on the edge of the ditch. I thought "Is it going into the ditch to my right? If so, will it stay there? Or will it come back out of the ditch and start rolling? Will the car correct its course and manage to get back into its own lane and zip past me? Or, worse yet, will it just continue on towards me?" These are some of the outcomes going through my head in what was really only a matter of seconds. What should I do? How is this happening? Will I survive?
The woman driving the car, in hindsight, did quite well under the circumstances. Instead of "duck and cover", it seemed she continued trying to control the car. After bouncing off the guard rail and nearly going into the ditch she must have thought she had dodged a bullet. I can only imagine what went through her head when she saw me sitting on my bike directly in front of her brake-less 1999 Buick (I had come to a complete stop by this time). She may have wrenched on the steering wheel because the car started swinging broadside to me, now blocking both lanes. I still had hopes there might be time for the car to grind to a halt before hitting me but that wasn't to be. Instead, the car just kept coming… and coming… and coming.
I now shifted into survival mode. It didn't appear that standing my ground was going to work. Therefore I started to dismount to the right side of the motorcycle with every intention of throwing myself off to the right since the car now seemed to be heading back to my left. I had one foot on the ground and was swinging my other leg over the bike… when time simply ran out. The tail end of the car swept around and smacked my front tire knocking the motorcycle to the ground. I was left standing on my feet, watching the bike disappear from under me and the car continue to slide across the road where it planted itself nose-first in the bank on the other side.
Then it was quiet.
I can't tell you why the planets lined up that day to bring the two of us together in that manner. All I know is that she and the three children in her car survived and so did I. Our vehicles took a beating but we walked away without a scratch, at least physically. Had I been just a hair sooner leaving work, which would have put me just a little farther up the hill, things could have ended very, very differently. Believe me, I've played out all of the "other endings" in my mind and none are very attractive.
I always ride with safety gear: full-faced helmet, armored jacket, gloves and riding boots. I have taken the motorcycle safety course. I am always expecting the worst from other drivers when I'm on the road. I KNOW this sport is dangerous. Therefore I treat it with a great deal of respect and try to minimize the risks. But I ask myself; on some days…like this day…does any of that matter? Perhaps my TRAINING did have some impact on the outcome. I was SCANNING the road in front of me which caused me to immediately slow and eventually come to a stop. I did ANALYSE the situation and decide my only course of action initially was to wait until the car's path became clearer before I acted. I eventually MADE my choice and left the bike in time to avoid being injured. I will always wonder though if I could have done more. Maybe it all comes down to fate. On the other hand, I like to think it just wasn't my time!
So when I see some of the stunts other motorcyclists pull when out on the road and I see bikers wearing shorts with their passengers in halter tops, or when I see them zipping up between lanes of cars and passing in no-pass zones, it's obvious to me they haven't had the close call yet that I just experienced. Perhaps their riding styles would change if they did. Perhaps not. Maybe they believe that "today" isn't their day. I just have to ask "why ride in a manner that only hastens that day's arrival?"
Life is short. Life is wonderful. I ride a motorcycle because I like to live. Living is riding. Riding is living. Just be smart about it.
As I've said in the past, you never know what's gonna happen on the road out there. I'm glad everyone involved in this accident was OK. It could have ended much worse.

Safety Tip of the Week – Highway Pegs or BoardsPosted: July 11, 2011 Filed under: Motorcycle Accessories, Motorcycle Safety, Motorcycling, Safety Tip of the Week! 3 Comments
Wait what? Highway pegs or boards are a safety device? And the answer is yes. Yes they are. Our friend James R Davis over at MSGroup.org has a nice little article on them. You can read it here.
He points out some very good things about highway pegs or boards. I can wholeheartedly agree as well. I've been on some longish trips and you're legs can get very cramped on the pegs all the time. You can stand up to help alleviate that, but the best solution is to put some highway pegs or boards on your bike. This allows you to move your legs if needed while remaining safe!
As a matter of fact, this is a project I've been thinking of undertaking on the Zombie.
Article of the Week – PotholesPosted: July 10, 2011 Filed under: Article of the Week, Motorcycling Leave a comment
Okay, no, the pic is misleading, I didn't go diving headfirst into a pothole. I found the pic online and thought it was funny. However, what I did do is hit a pothole on the motorcycle. A particularly deep pothole. Hard. Very hard.
I was on my way to work and apparently was not awake yet as I missed my usual turn and had to continue on and take the next turn over to the street I wanted. As I got to this new intersection, I looked over my right shoulder just to make sure no-one was there before I took the right turn onto the ramp. BANG! I hit something very hard! It felt as thought someone had taken a baseball bat and hit me in the palms of my hands as hard as they could! After the initial pain, I noted that the bike was now running on only one cylinder as well. I checked for any other immediate damage and didn't see any so I continue to work, on one cylinder.
At work I was able to look it over better; both mirrors where knocked loose, the right fork was up 1/2″ in the triple clamp, and the license plate was bent up into the rear fender. Holy cow that was a hard hit! I borrowed an Allen Wrench from a guy at work (I left mine home) and put the fork back into place. I tightened up the mirrors with my pliers in my tool box. I straightened out the license plate as best I could.
After work I rode the bike home, with one cylinder firing intermittently. Joy. Once there I tried to figure out which cylinder was acting up. Of course it then refused to cooperate and decided to run fine. Okay, I'll let it go and try to catch it next time it does it. Well, a week passes before it finally does it. Of course I am in traffic. I pull over and yank the right spark plug wire – no change! So my right coil is going out. Nice, I just bought these last fall.
So, time for an adventure with my daughter Sabrina; fix the coils! I have my old set which I seem to recall had a bad left coil. Take off the gas tank and unbolt the coils. Then I take off the right coil and set it aside. I go dig out my old coils (good thing I kept them!). Now we de-solder the wires to the original right side coil (they were both broken further up). Next to de-solder the good wires off the now bad coil. Then solder the wires to the original coil (which I hope works!). Button the whole thing back up and cross our fingers.
Success! The old Zombie fires up! Now to hope they stay working. I need to find a source for replacement coils as new ones are no longer available from Honda. Soon I'll be back with another story about the saddlebags Sabrina and I installed for our upcoming trip.
For now, keep an eye out for potholes! My accident could have been much worse!

Article of the Week – Live to Ride, Ride to LivePosted: June 25, 2011 Filed under: Article of the Week, Motorcycle Safety, Motorcycling 3 Comments
-by Todd Quigley
I think we've all heard the phrase "Live to Ride, Ride to Live". I know I've heard it a lot. I usually see it associated with Harley-Davidson, though it has often been associated with motorcycling in general. In light of a recent pair of unrelated motorcycle accidents, I found myself trying to assuage my wife's fears of me getting killed in a motorcycle accident. This phrase came to mind.
Let's look at it in two parts. First, "Live to Ride". This implies that the purpose (maybe not the sole purpose) in life is to ride. I can agree with that; there is nothing quite like the feel of riding down a back road somewhere soaking in the view, the smell of the outdoors, and the thrill of hurtling down a road on the seat of a motorcycle. I find myself finding time to ride any time I can. I also find myself watching the weather closely, hoping it will stay sunny for a weekend ride I've got planned. All in the name of the ride.
Let's look at the second part now; "Ride to Live". Now this one can have many meanings. Riding to live being like breathing to live. A requirement to one's continued existence. It can also be read as riding being the only way to live, as in life isn't worth living without the ride. However, the way I take it is this; Ride in a way that you continue to live.
I don't think many people take it that way. In fact I'm sure that many don't. It's one of the reasons why I write this blog. How am I sure that many don't think about riding to live in this way? Avoidable accidents. The key word there is "avoidable". Many accidents I see on the news, the internet, or hear about from others are completely and totally avoidable. I hate to say this, but people need to look at the facts. As a motorcyclist I am at a greater risk to injury in an accident; we are exposed with no metal bodywork surrounding us, we are not safely belted into a car, we don't have airbags to prevent us from being hurt. We need to ride like we know this!
One recent accident involved a motorcycle turning on a green arrow when an SUV blew through a red light and hit him. The motorcyclist died shortly thereafter. We are all sad for the motorcyclist and his family. Many people criticize him for being at fault just because he's on a motorcycle. I criticize him for not being sure that traffic had in fact stopped. I don't go through green arrows blindly. I cannot count the times I've seen someone run a red light. I'll slow to a stop and check before continuing. Sure I may piss off the guy behind me, but I don't want to get hit.
Another accident involved a couple on a motorcycle who were killed when the car ahead of them stopped suddenly on the interstate. Again, I am sorry for their families. Again, we are all sad for them. Again, many people criticize them for being motorcyclists. Again, I criticize them for not riding safely; they were following too closely. In a car, we often forget about following distance. Cars are equipped with anti-lock brakes, crumple zones, airbags, and seat belts. The price for following too closely isn't high as it is on a motorcycle. On a motorcycle, following too closely can kill you. Easily. I practice emergency stops. I have a good feel for how fast my motorcycle can stop. I follow a great distance behind the car in front of me. Yes, the gap is large so people tend to move over into it. I just slow down a bit, opening the gap.
My wife also said, "well you can't plan for everything that could happen". Actually, you can. You can practice for bad conditions and emergency stops, you can ride as if someone is in fact about to pull out in front of you, you can wear all your gear, you can pack an emergency kit. Basically you can ride as if someone is trying to kill you. That might be a bit extreme for some. But the truth hurts, THOUSANDS of motorcyclist die each year. Someone is trying kill us; we are.
Ride to live my friends. Yield at intersections, keep your distance, watch for others (they often do what you don't expect), slow down on curves, practice your riding skills. Ride to live.

This event has passed.
The Great American Songbook is a collection of tunes written from 1930 to 1950 and is a vital part of the repertoire of jazz musicians. While many songs by the Gershwins, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin are well known, there are countless other composers and lyricists whose songs are not performed as often. This 3-part workshop focuses on these less frequently performed pieces.
Workshop time includes listening to re–corded examples by jazz greats to develop ideas for new arrangements. Instructor Maye Cavallaro provides 10 lead sheets for songs including practice-backing tracks. An accompanist joins the group during the third session, for students to perform arrangement ideas.
