Report: Dollar General Considering Counter-Bid for Family Dollar
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 4:30am and News at 9pm.
(FOXNEWS) -- Discount retailer Dollar General Corp is considering a rival bid to Dollar Tree Inc 's $8.5 billion offer for Family Dollar Stores Inc, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Dollar General shares were up 3 percent at $57.62 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. Family Dollar shares were also up 2 percent at $77.26.
Dollar Tree shares were down 1.8 percent at $54.99 on the Nasdaq.
Goodlettsville-based Dollar General was working with an adviser to evaluate options, knowing banks are willing to finance a counter-bid, Bloomberg said, quoting one of the sources.
There was no guarantee that the company would make an offer, the report said. One of the sources put the chance of a rival Dollar General bid at 50 percent.
The company will lose its position as North America's largest discount retailer if Dollar Tree buys Family Dollar.
Carl Icahn, Family Dollar's largest shareholder when Dollar Tree offered to buy it, had pushed the company to sell itself to Dollar General earlier.
Dollar General couldn't be immediately reached for its reaction to the report. Family Dollar declined to comment.

Thursday, October 16th, 2014
Welcome to a new issue of the GBR.
This issue includes a variety of articles written by knowledgeable authors that we believe you will find informative, insightful, and engaging.
Who were the beneficiaries of the TARP bail-outs? Dr. Joetta Forsyth has done extensive research on the TARP bail-outs and the regulatory filings and how they intersect. Her article "Did Widespread, Government-Detected Regulatory Filing Errors Predict Which Lenders Were Subsequently Bailed Out Under TARP?" is an interesting overview of how the crisis developed. The article will give you pause about who is handling your paperwork and the culture in which they are working.
Dr. John Paglia and Dr. Craig Everett along with MBA student Chanel Curry-Brooks wrote "Crafting a Strategic Financing Plan: How Business Owners Should Think About Raising Financing and Capital." The authors note that one common oversight in financial planning is developing the proper plan to secure the right type of financing. This is a must-read for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone responsible for raising capital for their business.
From finance we move to coaching and leadership. "See reality as it is, not as you wish (or fear)," is one of the suggestions for peer coaching in the article on "Developing Peer Coaching: 10 Suggestions for Success" by Dr. Robert Fulmer and John Brock. The article explains how to build a coaching culture, the "Grow Model," and their suggestions that will not only develop better coaches, but also better leaders.
Dr. Cam Caldwell offers "6 Insights for Transformative Leaders: Keys to a Competitive Advantage." The first key starts with listening to what really matters to discover the leader's calling and concludes with authentic caring for the most important assets of the organization.
Friendly rivalry? Not always. In "Managing the Dark Side of Competitive Rivalry: When Competition Leads to Alarming Behavior," Dr. David King explores when competition goes from creating better products and services at lower costs to having a negative impact on both the company and the customer.
Crowd-pleasing. Crowd-funding. Crowdsourcing? In management education? Dr. Owen Hall, Jr. explains how that occurs and the benefits in his editorial "Crowdsourcing Management Education."
In "The Book Corner," Dr. William Bleuel reviews two books Keeping Up with the Quants, by Thomas H. Davenport and Jinho Kim; and Customer Experience 3.0, by John A. Goodman. He gives each book 5 stars: Stop what you're doing and read this book now! The Corner also includes my review of Mark Allen's AHA Moments in Talent Management, an engaging fable that teaches the 13 Talent Management Principles using a story format and gives practical exercises for assessing whether your organization incorporates these principles.
When you are finished with these, you might be interested in looking through our archives, book reviews, and videos.

What do Music, Business, and Academia Have in Common?
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014
Welcome to the new issue of the GBR.
We believe that you will find these articles informative as well as a challenge to take a deeper look at your business life, your work life, and as it applies, to your academic life.
In this issue we have two articles on the importance of ethics in business, how business and academia can partner to improve the integrity of leadership, and the importance of ethics and integrity in academia. Check out Dr. Cam Caldwell's article "Forging Ethics-Based Business Partners" and Dean Linda Livingstone's article "Integrating a Spiritual Life into the Work Life."
Yes, Dorothy, there is a PhD in Thinkology. Dr. Mark Allen shares ways that corporate universities have managed talent, retained employees, initiated more effective deployment, and prepared for succession in his article "Talent Management and Corporate Universities."
How does an organization compare to a music composition? If you enjoy music, you will enjoy the musical metaphor Dr. David R. King and Dr. Samuel M. Demarie composed in their article "Organizational Jazz." They will explain how the culture of music can be used to improve the organizational culture.
"To MOOC or not to MOOC, is that the Question?" Read Dr. Owen P. Hall, Jr.'s article to find out more about the impact of Massive Online Open Courses on management education.
When you are finished with these, you might be interested in looking through our archives, book reviews, and videos.

More Thoughts on Microsoft
Monday, September 16th, 2013
The Graziadio Business Review published "The Case of Microsoft's Surface Tablet: Going Behind the Strategy with SWOT" in 2013 Volume 16, Issue 2, an article by David R. King, PhD, and Todd Peterson. This post contains some updated thoughts.
The analysis examining "The case of Microsoft's Surface Tablet" was developed in the Spring of 2013, but the predictive ability of SWOT analysis is borne out by current events with Steve Ballmer announcing his retirement and Microsoft's purchase of Nokia's mobile division. The purchase of Nokia's mobile division was enabled by the financial assets of Microsoft highlighted by the article, and it fills two strategic needs.
First, it provides additional impetus to Microsoft's shift to mobile computing. The increased sales of smartphones and tablets have largely come at the expense of PCs running Windows. The development of Windows 8 as a bridge project has not been widely accepted by the marketplace, and better integration of software with hardware by Microsoft is needed. Nokia's mobile division has experience with hardware and designs 80 percent of the smartphones using Microsoft's operating system. A disadvantage of this approach is that it commits Microsoft to sell hardware in market dominated by Google and Apple. It also reduces the probability that other manufacturers will design mobile devices for Windows. Reduced adoption by other manufacturers can be expected, because Microsoft will now be directly competing with them and asking them to pay a licensing fee for its software (at the same time Google offers Android for free).
Second, the strategic shift required of Microsoft requires an experienced leader, and turnover in senior leaders below Steve Ballmer compound the challenge of selecting someone to replace him. The purchase of Nokia's mobile division also brings back Stephen Elop, an experienced Microsoft executive, who has to be considered a front runner to replace Steve Ballmer. Acquisitions are fraught with risk, but having a CEO familiar with both Microsoft and Nokia should help the process and increased importance of mobile computing on Microsoft's future.
In summary, the need for a strategic shift at Microsoft has been clear for months and Microsoft is beginning to make needed changes. It will be interesting to see how these changes continue to develop and how successful Microsoft is in adjusting to market demands, integrating Nokia, and transitioning to a new leader.

Our Degree Is What We Make of It
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
As I outlined in my Three Part MBA Philanthropy Series, alumni are a critical financial component to business schools. However, alumni can contribute in many other ways. In addition to providing financial support to their alma mater, alumni also play an equally important role in pre-student recruiting and job placement.
Why is pre-student recruiting important? Today, business schools are facing both intense competition and demanding customers. These forces tend to drive up the cost of student acquisition and retention. MBA programs are indeed influenced by their stakeholders. More and more, the student is being treated as a customer, and student and alumni satisfaction have become key metrics to school rankings. At the same time, the student is also a product. Student seats are a perishable resource just like airline seats or hotel rooms. Once the school term starts, an unfilled seat equates to lost revenue.
Therefore, to increase student acquisition, we must expand our global reach. One way to do this is through strategic business partnerships with international schools. These partnerships will expand Graziadio's global educational opportunities, enhance our brand, leverage complementary strengths, and increase flexibility and convenience for students.
Management education alliances, among other things, provide the vehicle for the virtual exchange of both students and faculty. Imagine a situation where a student is looking for an elective, but it is not being offered at their home institution at a convenient time or place. The student could instead register at a partner school that is offering a similar course. The same could apply to the faculty.
For example, in Fall 2010, I took a special residential offering at the West LA Graduate Campus called Managing Business with China. This course, among other things, allowed me to connect with reputable faculty and speakers from China that I would not have been able to do so otherwise because of time demands from work. Similar initiatives will spur increasing opportunities for connecting graduates to the global business community.
Recent data show that management education is currently undergoing a paradigm shift from a teacher-centric process to a learning-centric environment that focuses on customized learning. This transformation is being fueled by the need to produce educated leaders that can compete on a global basis.
As alumni, our degree is what we make of it. We are called to contribute to Graziadio's legacy in terms of our time, talent, and treasure not only to merely increase our own degree's ROI, but also so that this legacy can continue for future generations. In order to impact our MBA ROI, we must remain competitive, and in order to remain competitive, we must reach a global audience. This will allow us to attract the most talented students, translating into huge, quantum leaps in impact AND financial support for Graziadio.
Every organization is perfectly designed to get the results it's getting. If we don't like our results, it implies we must change the design. It's time to follow the data and change the design.

Caution for Small Business Owners Using a Home as Collateral
Friday, February 15th, 2013
Recent data from the Pepperdine Private Capital Market Project revealed that 88% of privately-held businesses with revenues less than $5 million want to execute growth strategies, but they typically have lower levels of necessary resources, such as the people or finances, to grow compared to privately-held businesses with higher revenues.
Eager to grow, but lacking the means, many small-businesses owners have turned to friends and family for funding. Pepperdine Private Capital Market Project research from Q1 2012, shows that 71% of businesses with less than $5 million in revenue were successful in securing funding from friends and family – the No. 1 source from among 17 lending categories.
Now some business owners may be tempted to use their homes as collateral. With the recent spike in home prices this option may seem even more appealing.
In mid-January, real estate firm DataQuick reported that home prices nationwide increased 7.4% year-over-year and in Southern California the median home price rose 19.6% in December over the same month last year to hit $323,000. San Bernardino and Riverside counties posted the strongest year-over-year increases, up 20.0% and 19.1%, respectively, indicating that the once hard-hit Inland Empire is now recovering.
Certainly, there will be some businesses that are able to take advantage of the increase in home prices to grow their operations. This should bode well for states like California where the concentration of small businesses is higher. However, before home owners get too optimistic here are a few things to consider:
• Many banks are still hesitant to fund via home equity lines. While there will be some increased access to funding, it will not nearly be in line with what we saw pre-financial crisis.
• Even as access to home equity loans increases it may not be the best decision to use home equity as collateral. Many entrepreneurs forego a job to start their venture and piling on additional financial risk in the way of home equity further increases their risk profile. But, entrepreneurs don't see "risk" as clearly as those sitting on the sidelines. This optimism leads to many successes, but even more failures and disappointments.
• If you operate your business out of your residence, your home or personal assets may be considered collateral for a loan. However, in the event of inadequacy of collateral, the Small Business Administration will generally not decline a loan if it is the only unfavorable factor.[1]
Whether or not small business owners use their home equity as collateral is a personal decision and will vary from situation to situation. In order for business owners to increase their prospect of securing capital they should make sure they know about the different types of private capital (i.e. angel funding vs venture capital vs private equity) that are available. While these sources of capital are not for everyone, raising small business owner's knowledge of capital classes will help them make informed and effective decisions.
Business owners should also have a well-written business plan as well as personal experience or solid mentorship in the industry they are entering. Part of this business plan should include understanding the criteria that are needed to attain financing from different sources. This will help streamline the process by eliminating the funding sources that are not attainable or not the best fit for business owners.

Implementing Intrapreneurship: A Structural and Cultural Approach
Monday, November 26th, 2012
Present age organizations face a very complex and uncertain environment. In order to remain innovative and viable in the long run, many organizations are turning to "intrapreneurship." However, what is intrapreneurship? How different it is from entrepreneurship? What can an organization do to promote intrapreneurship?
In the Graziadio Business Review article "Implementing Intrapreneurship: A Structural and Cultural Approach" the difference between entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship is first illustrated by defining the two terms formally. Entrepreneurship refers to the process of creating innovative new business ventures[1] or just of creating new business ventures.[2] An entrepreneur is the owner of such a business venture.[3] [4] [5] Intrapreneurship refers to the process of new venture creation, strategic renewal, and innovation by employees within an organization.[6] Intrapreneurs, then, are the employees of an organization who realize a creative idea and turn it into an innovation or new business venture.[7] [8] [9]
Then, the GBR article devotes the majority of its main content to the discussion of what an organization can do to promote intrapreneurship. Research has shown that given the right environment and amount of support, many employees can become intrapreneurs. To encourage intrapreneurial activities, it is proposed in the article that organizations have to make sure that the top management creates a clear vision that promotes and encourages innovation and communicates it clearly to all employees. In addition, support from all managers in an organisation is also necessary.
Next, to encourage intrapreneurship, an organization has to adopt either an organic structure, or to set up an independent intrapreneurial team or department, depending on each organization's context and needs. In addition, the organization must also take measures to achieve a culture that is characterised by high trust and psychological safety, high justice and fairness, and high error and failure tolerance. Together, these organizational features shall form a solid foundation for intrapreneurship, and a cornerstone for organizational competitiveness.

Coco Rocha on 'Big Sister' Heidi Klum and the Designers She Truly Admires
Project Runway designers both present and past, plus a crowd of celeb groupies, were on hand last night at Lord & Taylor to celebrate the first-ever Project Runway Collection. Season 7 contestant Christopher Palu's distressed ruffle design was featured alongside creations by designers from earlier seasons, including Nick Verros, Mondo Guerra, Bert Keeter, Uli Herzner, Korto Momolu, Jay McCarroll, Gordana Gelhausen, Seth Aaron Henderson and Season Four fan fave Chris March.
(By the way, here's March's plug to buy his dress over the others: "My dress is really comfortable and it's elegant and casual at the same time. You can wear it with or without the organza coat that it comes with, and it has an intersting high-low hem. And it's versatile...you can wear it on the red carpet or wear it to bed.")
But the stunner who really got our attention on the runway—sorry, red carpet—was the ever-diplomatic pose-off champion, model and soon-to-be model competition host Coco Rocha, looking hawt (and tall) in zip-detail leather capris and peep-toe platforms.
Lucky: So, what brings you out for the party tonight?
Coco Rocha: Of course, Project Runway brings us here tonight—and also Heidi [Klum] being a very sweet big sister. I had to come and support the team. They're very kind and generous, so I had to come out.
Any predictions as to who will win Project Runway this season?
Everyone has their own taste.They all have their own concept and they all think they deserve to win. I always look at how it's made more so than the concept. If someone can tailor something themselves—some designers can't do that themselves—they can draw a beautiful piece. But if they can, in fact, make that, cut it and perfect it, then that's an awesome and well-deserved win.
So which established designers out there do you think meet that criteria?
It's hard. I think great designers...like, McQueen was an amazing designer. I think of Zac Posen. He always knows how to make a woman beautiful. He won't ever get that wrong. Gaultier and his way of being so creative. He's made many memorable moments on the runway. Everyone has their own little niche, but I think for these sort of shows, if you can actually produce and make it and fabricate it, you're on your way.
So out of all the Project Runway contestants—not necessarily winners—from any season, which one would you like to dress you for the red carpet?
I can't say that! First of all, I'm horrible with names. Let's see...I'm not sure. I have to figure that out. That's a hard question. Sorry about that.

Traditional Herbs Of North America
North America has an amazing abundance of different climates and habitats that support many indigenous medicinal plants. Conservationists and herbalists in the US and Canada are fighting to preserve our native plants, habitats are being lost not only to urbanization and pollution, but to our own traditions of exploiting our natural resources as if they were a bottomless well, never to be depleted. Many important North American medicinal herbs are woodland species, the uses and knowledge of which was passed along to the colonists of the New World from the indigenous native tribes. These settlers has also brought many of their favorite healing plants and herbs with them, and many European species have become naturalized here,making it hard to tell the natives from the immigrants in the best American tradition.
Use the alphabetical list or the herb property list to find information on the healing properties and actions of medicinal plants.

This estate, which has continued to impress me in recent years, hit a home run in 2000. Showing slightly better than I rated it previously, this wine is deep bluish/purple with some lightening at the edge, and its floral nose displays notes of melted licorice, crushed rock, blueberries and black raspberries. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated effort is already compelling and has hit its window of full maturity, where it should stay for another 15-20 years.
(6/ 2010)
Intense aromas of crushed berries, earth, meat and spice. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, green tobacco and berry finish. This is an estate on the rise. Superfine.
(3/ 2003)
Good deep ruby-red. Explosive aromas of blackcurrant, mocha, coffee, molasses and spices. Sweet but firm, with sound acidity contributing excellent vinosity and leavening the wine's richness. Expressive flavors of raw currant, game and truffle. Thick but not overly fat, finishing with firm tannic spine and excellent persistence.

Postmaster Email Problem
Hello People
I have a minor problem with my emails in ISPConfig something I cant get my head around, I have 2 domains in ISPConfig, Domain1 has firstname.lastname@example.com address and abuse alias works fine even passes the DNS Test,
It is the Domain2 where I am having problems configured exactly same as domain1, I have a email@example.com and alias abuse configured now I can send and recv email no problem but when i do DNS test on the domain it tells me domain2.tld cannot recv email for postmaster and abuse.
Any help with on this will be really appreciated.
Is the email address email@example.com listed in /etc/postfix/virtusertable? Are you really sure that the MX record for domain2.com points to this server?
Postmaster Email Problem
Hi Till
thank you very much for your reply I am 100% sure the email address for email@example.com is listed in /etc/postfix/virtusertable & I am 100% sure it is pointing to the right mail server.
Please run
dig mx domain2.tld
Postmaster Email Problem
First of all thank you for your interest & reply, I did that and it is pointing to the right mail server.
But saying that if I add a new domain into ISPConfig I have exactly same problem with newly added domain.
I have realized I cannot send email to firstname.lastname@example.com it bounces back. For help I am sending you the link which might give a clearer picture.
Posmaster email problem
I have resolved the problem ..... Thanks to Till & falko who invested their time in reading my query.
why not share the solution ? ;)
We might need it someday as well :)
Postmaster Email Problem
Thanks for taking interest.
I am more than happy to do that, it was nothing to do with ISPConfig or any other configuration related to postfix, the culprit was ASSP it was blocking (postmaster & abuse)emails to that particular domain, Hence in ASSP you need to list the domain in the local doamins file & you have to do that everytime you add a new domain to CP.
Hope that helps :)
Hi Alam,
i appreciate your answer.
Although i do not get all bits, i am sure that i will find it useful in the future :)

'Warm' and 'Storm' back in the forecast
Updated On: May 06 2014 07:06:42 AM CDT
"Storm" and "Warm" back in the forecast! Highs get close to 80 for the first time this year Thursday.
Cool east breezes keep highs today in the low 50s along the lake to about 60 well inland. A warm front pulls into Illinois tonight and it will be the focus for rain and a few storms riding up and over the boundary. The rain will hold off until after midnight and rain chances will persist to the early hours Wednesday. There is a chance for small hail thanks to the chilly air aloft. We're not expecting any severe storms tonight.
Partly sunny and upper 50s for Wednesday with inland highs in the mid 60s. South winds push highs to near 80 on Thursday. It will be cooler right along the lake and on the beaches. A cool front for Thursday night spells rain and storms. A few storms may be on the strong side.
Cooler with morning showers for Friday and highs about 70. Mother's Day weekend outlook is dry with highs in the mid 60s. A chance for showers rolls in for later Sunday night.

An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China's ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island. Meanwhile, Chinese cyber warfare experts have launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new combat arena, but it's every bit as deadly as any that has gone before. Jack Ryan, Jr. and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild card that his father needs to stack the deck.

Justin Aclin, 33, is the co-creator of a new comic miniseries from Dark Horse Comics called "S.H.O.O.T. First."
"S.H.O.O.T. First" stands for "Secular Humanist Occult Obliteration Taskforce," and the series involves a band of atheists who fight evil supernatural monsters that prey on human faith.
Aclin, once a religious Jew, now identifies as an atheist, and the three-year process of writing the comic helped him make the journey. The third of the comic's four issues appeared in comic shops last month, and the story will continue in the anthology "Dark Horse Presents" in 2014.
Q: What is the premise of "S.H.O.O.T. First"?
A: The premise is that any supernatural creature humanity has encountered – from angels to demons to yeti to elves – are all outside actors. They are not divine, but extradimensional creatures that draw energy from humanity and especially from human faith. They are able to change shape and take on forms that humanity has faith in.
S.H.O.O.T. fights them because these creatures have realized science and reason will eventually overtake faith, so their backup plan is to trigger a global apocalypse. They figure if they can pull that off, what is left of humanity will cast aside science and reason and be a source of energy for them forever.
Q: How did you come up with this idea?
A: Dark Horse Comics has several comics in which a team of not-quite-superheroes fight supernatural menaces. I wanted to do something in that vein, with a twist. My idea was to do a team of monster hunters that takes on creatures with science-based weaponry rather than on the monsters' own terms. The more I developed it, the more it dovetailed with things I was going through, which was struggling with my faith and letting go of that last bit of belief in a divine. So the team being atheists started as something like a gimmick, but then it became a more serious venue to explore some things I needed to explore. Writing "S.H.O.O.T. First" was part of that process of being able to admit that I am a full-on atheist.
Q: What are some of the things you struggled with?
A: My children were getting older, so I had to think about what are we going to tell the kids. My first daughter had a Jewish naming ceremony, and that was important to me at the time, but when my second daughter was born, I found myself not having the heart for that. I was hitting a point where religion just was not part of who I was anymore, and I had to think about what I was going to tell them when they started to ask the big questions. You can see that in the very first page of "S.H.O.O.T." where there is a conversation between a mother and her child about what happens after you die. It was an important question to me, but it ends up being an important question to the series in ways that you will see later.
Q: But if the members of S.H.O.O.T. are all atheists, who by definition reject anything supernatural, how can they fight supernatural beings?
A: That is a question that a lot of atheists have when they hear the premise. I always say they are fighting creatures they don't believe in, but it is more accurate to say they don't believe that the creatures they are fighting are what they claim to be. All these seemingly supernatural creatures are actually scientifically explicable beings that S.H.O.O.T. refers to as "Outside Actors." What S.H.O.O.T. uses to fight them is their own disbelief that has been weaponized and channeled through the bullets in their sci-fi guns – this is comic book science!
Q: Do you plan to involve historical figures of faith, such as Jesus, Moses or Muhammad, into the story?
A: If I have a dogmatic view, it is definitely not that all religion is awful. The comic is a reaction against fundamentalism – any system of belief where you can't even entertain doubt that you have the absolutely right answers. You can lay a lot of the world's problems at the feet of that. I am not trying to rabble-rouse, and I think having the team fight Jesus would be rabble-rousing.
What I am trying to do is explore some of the issues and struggles atheists have in walking away from faith. One of those is that you lose access to having a tidy and reassuring explanation of what happens after you die. That is definitely not something I have seen explored in a lot of fiction, especially in the action-adventure genre, and it was something I thought was worth exploring.

In September of 1990 the McDonald's Corporation sued five members of London Greenpeace for libel, claiming that one of their leaflets ("What's wrong with McDonald's? Everything they don't want you to know") contained false and defamatory statements. Three of the activists quickly apologized to McDonald's and were dropped from the lawsuit, but the other two, Dave Morris and Helen Steel, decided to battle the company in court. The case turned into the longest trial in British history, and also a worldwide public-relations disaster for McDonald's—years of testimony about corporate greed, deceit, and misbehavior. Although the judge's verdict in 1997 and an appellate court's decision two years later found that many of the leaflet's statements were libelous, both rulings acknowledged that some of its accusations—about low pay, cruelty to animals, and exploitative advertising—were not. A libel suit designed to silence a pair of unknown activists instead brought a great deal of attention to their anti-corporate views.
Ever since the debacle of the "McLibel" trial the McDonald's Corporation has tried to improve its public image and at times to behave in a more socially responsible manner. Last spring it began to offer discounts on health insurance and other benefits to employees at company-owned (as opposed to franchise) restaurants, which make up about one seventh of the chain nationwide. In the summer it disclosed the basic ingredients of its natural flavors, admitting that in the United States its french fries get their distinctive taste from beef additives. Perhaps out of deference to Hindus, the company no longer uses beef extract in the manufacture of Chicken McNuggets (McDonald's has never used beef flavoring in India).
More important, McDonald's now requires that its meat suppliers handle and slaughter animals humanely. This new policy did not arise in a vacuum. For years excessive line speeds and improper stunning at American slaughterhouses resulted in the dismemberment of cattle and hogs while they were still conscious. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other animal-rights groups staged protests at McDonald's, asking the company to seek changes from its suppliers. Whatever the true motive, in 1999 McDonald's acted decisively and hired Temple Grandin, one of the nation's foremost experts on animal welfare and proper livestock handling, to devise an auditing system for the slaughterhouses that provide the chain's beef and pork. According to Grandin, the threat that McDonald's would stop buying meat from suppliers that mistreat animals changed many of the industry's practices within a year. The auditors who check compliance work for the companies that make McDonald's hamburger patties, but Grandin says that they seem genuinely committed to the new policy—making unannounced visits to slaughterhouses, for example, to observe whether animals are properly handled and stunned. Animal-rights groups had gotten nowhere by advocating such an inspection program; demanded by McDonald's, it received the enthusiastic support of the meat-packing industry and the American Meat Institute.
Having demonstrated a strong commitment to the ethical treatment of animals, the McDonald's Corporation should now demonstrate the same level of concern for the human beings who work in the nation's slaughterhouses. Nearly a century after the publication of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, meat-packing is still the most dangerous job in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than one out of four meat-packers suffered a job-related injury or illness in 1999—a proportion higher than that in any other U.S. industry. The rate of serious injuries in meat-packing (as measured in lost workdays) is also the highest: more than five times the national average in private industry. The rate of cumulative trauma injuries, such as back problems and tendinitis, is about thirty-three times the national average. And these extraordinarily high rates of injury are based on the meat-packing industry's own reporting. In an industry where the unions are weak, the workers are often illegal immigrants, and some of the leading companies have been caught falsifying injury records, the actual number of injuries is likely even higher.

Unable To Install Centos Guest On Xen 3 Following Guide
Hi There,
I followed this howto and the reason I signed up to your site is to work out why this is happening.
I have followed hundreds (spending around 8 hours yesterday trying to resolve this) of howtos.
This one I followed - http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen gets me the furthest. I get through the text based centos install prompts and then start to install centos and when the installer wants to spin up the disk and get it ready to format it gives me the error:
"Input/output error during read on /dev/xvda" which from what I learnt means that the disk which centos is trying to install onto cannot be found/used/read/written.
I tried used "dd" to create a disk filled with zeros and that didnt work, tried formatting the drives (drive.img file) as ext3 and that didnt work cant for the life of me work out why and googling my ass off doesnt get me an answer either.
If you could shed some light, that would be wonderful!
Which CentOS version do you use? Did you try this guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/paravirtua...tos-5.4-x86_64
Hi Falko,
Yes I followed that guide and found that using virt-install was unsucessful due to the centos installer (on the guest) being unable to detect /dev/xvda.
So I then proceeded to create a custom config following: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU
I am using centos 5.4 on the host and centos 5.4 installer on the guest.
I have then tried to boot using /dev/sda using the following xen config and ks-minimal.cfg config.
kernel = "/var/www/html/centos54/os/images/xen/vmlinuz"
The kernal and ramdisk are used directly from the mounted ISO.
Using /dev/sda and following the prompts gets the installer to:
+------------+ No Drives Found +-------------+
Input/output error during read on /dev/xvda
2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen is the kernel on the host.
I wrote a long post with heaps of detail that said it needed to be moderated as well as the above post. Not sure where it went (was probably cause it had links in it.)
disk = [ "tap:aio:/vms/www2/disk01-test.img,xvda,w" ]

Browse your dictionaries and sharpen your pencils — tomorrow is National Scrabble Day! One out of three American families owns Hasbro's popular word game, which is sold in nearly every country in the world.

So, before you busy yourself hosting a Scrabble game tomorrow, or wondering if the kids at the 2012 National School Scrabble Championships are way smarter than you (they probably are), head past the break to indulge your inner board game geek. We're celebrating National Scrabble Day by sharing a few game-centric treats — ranging from food to fashion — that deserve your dollars and cents. Happy Scrabbling! … Read More

Photorealist Paintings of Scrabble, Seltzer Bottles, and Other Curiosities
There is something undeniably comforting about Steve Mills' paintings.

Full of nostalgia and rustic charm, his work seems deeply influenced by his upbringing on Martha's Vineyard (where he still spends summers).

Letters to the Editor
I was just reading the Video section of the article "Building the Ultimate Linux Workstation" and came across a couple of quotes from Darryl Strauss that I thought shouldn't have been there. He states: "The up-and-coming board to watch is the Radeon"; and "Performance is about the same as the GeForce2, and they want to do open-source drivers. It's just not out for Linux yet"
I would like to focus on the "they want to do open-source drivers. It's just not out for Linux yet" part. Let me spare anyone from the hell that I have gone through with ATI in the past and I ask that a little research be done on ATI specifically before the readers and subscribers of Linux Journal are recalling where they got the idea to buy the damn thing to begin with.
ATI has promised 3-D drivers for their cards under Linux for almost two years now. When an actual 3-D driver that is usable (and when I say usable thats exactly what I mean; drivers that make quake3 actually run a bit faster than the couple pixels a second you get, try for yourself) has yet to be seen. UTAH-GLX is not developed by ATI or anyone they've hired. They've hired the guys/gals at Precision Insight sometime ago (http://www.precisioninsight.com/), and they (ATI) promised to have ATI 3-D drivers available in Q1 of 2000. Needless to say Q1 of 2000 came, and they had no usable drivers; Q2 came, still no drivers. Q3 came, you get the idea.
They consistently boast on their web site that they have 3-D drivers for the Rage 3-D pro cards, which is correct but it's not their drivers; and it's not supported by ATI. You can find them here (UTAH-GLX) utah-glx.sourceforge.net. The Rage 128 3-D drivers are available here at dri.sourceforge.net, which happens to be Precision Insight's DRI project. Mind the Precision Insight drivers don't do much and aren't usable. So whatever you do, PLEASE do not buy the ATI Radeon before the drivers are completed and usable. DO NOT make the same mistake I made when I bought this ATI rage fury. Personally I'll never buy another ATI card again; not because of the hardware, which is of high quality, but because they don't support their hardware with drivers.

I work with Ada quite a bit at work and enjoyed seeing the article on Ada in the latest issue of Linux Journal. I have to agree that many programmers should take a serious look at the language. It is highly structured, and I would guarantee that novice programmers will decrease their debugging time and their frustrations tremendously by using the language. Many C++ programmers could learn a great deal of discipline sorely lacking in that language by taking the time to learn Ada.
With that said, I do have to take issue with some of the statements made in the article. First, Ada does not provide a full suite of operator overloading/overriding capabilities. It does not allow overriding of the assignment operator nor the array indexing operator. Also, you cannot specify a return by reference in Ada. The latter two difficulties can be a great hassle when developing container classes, since it makes the specification used by clients clumsy. The language also does not support type promotions, which can again lead to unnecessarily clumsy interfaces.
Ada does not have inferred templates (known as "generics" in Ada). Generics must be instantiated explicitly, and each instantiation, even if based on the same parameters, represents a new class incompatible with other instantiations. This can be a roadblock to software reuse. The language also lacks a notion of "protected" in the sense that C++ and Java have; nor does the language have a construct for declaring an object's attributes constant over the lifetime of that object. (You should see how JGNAT works around these issues when providing an Ada-equivalent API to the Java core classes; it's not pretty.)
Perhaps one of the biggest drawbacks to the language is that the compilation of the code requires it to be "bound" before it is linked. The binding process creates additional code needed to elaborate software modules (in the correct order). This prevents dynamic loading of code at runtime; in other words it prevents "plugins". I believe technologies are now coming out to allow Ada plugins, but it is not clear that they faithfully adhere to the Ada standard.
In short, the article could have done a better job at pointing out some of the disadvantages as well as some of the advantages in programming in Ada. Do you have any plans for an article on Eiffel, another highly disciplined language?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

How can I stop logging into the wrong Gmail account?
I have logged out of all browsers and closed them all, yet when choosing to login using Google, Todoist app on Mac still uses the wrong Google account.
And there is no way to get back into an account created using google auth, as an email/password user instead.
If I can't work this out I will stop using this service. Hopeless, not being able to control which of your Google accounts the app chooses to login with. This is fundamentally broken functionality.
Please advise how to get my work back.

Hi Mike,
Since the Mac app is using the Safari engine, you need to be logged in using the correct Gmail account there. Can you please go to Safari, log-in to any Google service (eg. Gmail) and go back to Mac app and check if it's logging to the correct account?
The one browser I didn't check - got it. I managed to find a fix by opening an incognito Chrome window and logging in that way. This info should be a lot higher up on your help search tree methinks :-)
