Internal watchdog blasts DoD's health IT efforts
A memo obtained by Federal News Radio points to a split in thinking inside the Pentagon's efforts to achieve interoperability with VA's electronic health record system.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Louella, a Newport Lop, Holland was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Lop, Holland for sale in Newport, or seeking a Lop, Holland from a breeder in Newport.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Newport already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Newport breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Lop, Holland breeders who help with Lop, Holland rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Newport paves the way for another one to be saved.

The day that I called DirecTV to inquire regarding their DirecTV packages, I had no idea that I would be speaking with a rep due to the sheer rage that Time Warner had put me through the day before. If I didn't lean so heavily on Time Warner due to work I would have left them as a customer long ago but unfortunately I have to be content with the fact that I will be using them as an Internet provider rather than having them as my television provider as well. It's ridiculous that I have to actually split my services like this but I'm tired of feeling abused as a customer. Contine reading
My New Hobby of Mushroom Hunting
I live in the city but was watching a show on Direct TV for the Bronx one night on a show about wild mushrooms and I became intrigued with the idea. I first took a weekend to go to the country and joined a guided mushroom hunt so that I could learn what to look for. I went a few times since different species grow at different times of the year. I learned the best way to pick each type so that they will keep growing back each year. I also learned the best way to clean and store them so that you get the best flavor from each type.
Of course the biggest part of the guided hunt was learning how to identify the right species and avoid the bad ones since some bad mushrooms can mimic the looks of the good one. Well, scientifically it's the god ones mimicking the bad so that animals will be scared to eat them. Contine reading

My own Observation – Simplifying The World Of Personal Injury Lawyers With These Great Tips!
Do sufficient research following your accident and prior to hiring a lawyer that specializes in injury law. Various firms and lawyers deal with certain cases, and you also need to look at their history. Go with an attorney who has had lots of success in dealing with personal injury cases like yours. Don't just think you weren't hurt in an accident. Let your doctor confirm that before you decide not to make a legal case. Injuries to the spine and back, for instance, can often seem minor at first but the more serious symptoms appear later. You should always get checked out by a doctor after the accident.
How does one choose to sue or not? First, consider how badly you were hurt. You should also consider the cost of medical expenses and any money you lose because you aren't able to work. The first order of business is to determine who is at fault and responsible for compensating you for your injuries. If it's work related, your workplace should be settling, but if it was outside of work, the story will of course be different. If you are unsure who is at fault for your injury, consult an attorney. Write down all the costs that were influenced by your personal injury. Include everything, like personal property damage, missed work time, and even travel expenses for seeing doctors. Proof of this will be needed if you are going to court, and if not provided, it will not be considered as part of your judgement. Talk to people who have experience with personal injury lawyers. Talk with your co-workers, neighbors, friends and relatives. When you've gotten some recommendations, try to get a free consultation to make a decision. During the consultation, the lawyers should tell you whether your case can win. Be wary of any lawyer who guarantees he can win your case. Laws vary from state to state and from case to case, so remember that there are no one-size-fits-all types of laws.
A lot of companies protect themselves from lawsuits with insurance. When hurt at work, hire a lawyer right away. Phone correspondence from your employer must be send directly to the lawyer. That way, all communication is properly documented.
Keep a diary, since the case may last longer than you think. When you have discomfort or depression due to your injuries, make a note of how you feel. Take note of anything that is difficult or any frustrations. You can review this before you testify so you remember all the details you need to share.
As stated earlier, sometimes good people have bad experiences. Remember to use the tips in this article if you should suffer an injury. You will find that the advice will make your efforts much easier and more successful.
If you're currently going through a personal injury lawsuit, it is important to keep all doctor's appointments and keep records of all documentations. If you want to win the case and receive money, you need to prove that you are indeed injured and that you are trying your hardest to get well. You may look like a liar if you don't. You may receive a sum for your injury, as well as for pain and suffering. Since pain and suffering is difficult to define, be sure to document everything you experienced after the accident. This includes taking pictures. Give your documentation to your attorney so that it can be presented to the judge and jury. You may realize that you need to attend court. Insurers rarely offer fair monetary settlements right away, so you must learn how to compile a strong case and find a skilled lawyer. The great advice provided below will provide you with a better understanding of personal injury law. You should always contact the right authorities when you are the victim of a personal injury. Talk to your manager if you are injured on the job. When you're hit by a car, call the cops immediately.
Be certain to keep on top of everything that is happening with your lawsuit. Ask your lawyer how you can help your case. Usually, this entails filling out all the necessary paperwork as well as meeting with the insurance adjuster on a regular basis to discuss claims.
Pain and suffering can be included in your damage claim following an injury. But, such damages can be hard to assess, and therefore full documentation of the injuries and their aftermath will be required. Send this documentation to the lawyer since they know how to best present it to the jury.

The thing I learn – How To Increase Your Photography Skills
Indoor florescent lighting scenes will require white balance adjustments. If you don't compensate for the missing red tones, photographs taken under fluorescent lighting will end up with a cooler tone caused by the bluish-green light.
Strive to have an interesting object within the foreground of any landscape photos you shoot. A simple addition to any photo really adds an additional view sometimes. Your audience will have the impression of looking at the actual landscape, rather than a flat representation of it. Take the time to learn how the ISO on your camera functions, or you could find yourself taking bad photographs because of it. The higher the ISO is set to, the more that is seen and this will affect the grain that is printed onto your photo. Unless your goal is to achieve a grainy look, this effect can be disastrous.
Make use of negative space in your composition. Negative space is the area in your photos that does not contain your subject. Used correctly, large amounts of negative space can create interesting photographs. You also need to consider the effects of negative space when framing a photograph to get the best results.
When doing a photo shoot, take a lot of pictures. With digital cameras and computers, you can take near infinite pictures. You'll have a better chance of getting good photos when you take more. And if you get bad ones, all you have to do is hit delete to get rid of them.
Do not try to be unique all the time. You will not lose your status as a good photographer if you take some classic looking shots. Learn to make the difference between what is art and what is not. Do not edit your basic pictures of your friends to make them look artsy. When photographing outdoors, it's very important to pay attention the quality of the light. A divine photo can be tarnished with lighting that is too dark or bright. Whenever possible, place your subjects so that the sun is behind them. A photo taken at sunset or in a shaded area can also work. This will allow you to have the optimal lighting for quality pictures.
When you are shooting natural features or large structures, have people in the picture to scale the shot. People won't always understand how big something is unless they have a familiar frame of reference.
A great photography tip that can help you out is to learn as much as you can about your camera. Try to learn all of its functions so that you can easily select them on the fly. You don't want to miss an opportunity by fiddling with your camera.
When you are in low lighting, you may need to implement a different technique due to the blurring effect of the photos. Ensure your hands are very steady when taking a photo in low light. It may even be a good idea to rest your arms on something to help stabilize the camera. The best solution, of course, is to mount the camera on a tripod.
A good photography trick is to always think about balance when you're composing your photographs. For instance, if you have dark shadows on the right side of your image, you will need to add something to the left side of the image to balance it out. When you are making the decision of which of your photographs to display or show, make sure that you choose your best ones. Don't show everyone or all of the exact same subject. Showing the same type of photo repeatedly gets old fast. Be fresh, and try different kinds of photography. Many people enjoy taking and keeping photographs of special occasions, accomplishments, or friends and family members for photo albums. Whatever reason you may like to take photos, remembering the tips in this article will help you take more interesting and memorable pictures that anyone would enjoy!
If you want to get into taking pictures in the old fashioned manner try finding a old film camera and taking some shots! For an even more dramatic effect, ISO rated 200 black and white film offers a great nostalgic quality. When you have the film developed, have it printed on some different kinds of papers. A great photography tip is to bring your camera with you wherever you go. You never know when an awesome opportunity might present itself. If you don't have your camera during these moments you'll definitely regret it later. Always try to bring your camera wherever you go.

Something that I believe – Simple Guide On How To Relieve Allergies
Time your outings. Statistics have shown that pollen count is affected by time of day, temperature, rain, and humidity. The worst times to be outdoors are between 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, especially on days that are windy, hot and dry. So if you really want to spend some time outdoors, wait until the late afternoon. Folks who have allergies must make a regular habit out of vacuuming. Vacuuming reduces the presence of allergens. Also, be sure that your vacuum doesn't just blow the allergens into the air. If you have an older vacuum, it will blow allergens back into the environment. The HEPA filters in newer vacuums trap nearly 99 percent of allergens and small particles, keeping the air clean. Don't stand alone and accept your allergies. While you might think you have to sniffle forever, you can get help. When over the counter medicines are hard to come by, visit your doctor. Only a professional can give you a prescription medication for your allergies, and having a prescription med might be the only option that works for you.
If you are going to be exercising outside during the times of the year that there are high pollen levels, do so either very early in the morning or late in the evening. Studies show that pollen levels are lowest at these times of the day and you will be most comfortable. Allergies often result in post-nasal drip, leading to sore throats and other problems. Try mixing warm water and salt at home, and swish it in your mouth. This should soothe and heal your aching throat.
Avoid allergy symptoms by removing crumbs from behind your appliances and other out of the way places. If you have food particles around your home, you will be inviting pests that can increase allergy reactions. These creatures and the waste they leave behind pose not only a health risk, but can trigger allergic reactions.
Those with seasonal allergies should always wash their hair, get fresh clothes and shower upon coming home from an outdoor event. If you do not do that, chances are you will bring traces of allergens into your home, and make things worse for you. By learning quick life-hacks, you can turn an annoying allergy attack into nothing more than a 2 minute inconvenience. While it is true that you probably won't be able to remove allergies from your life, you can learn ways to make it much easier to live with them, on a day-to-day basis.
Consider getting a humidifier. It is a wise purchase in that it may prevent unnecessary circulation of allergens through the air. Allergens are attracted to the water and are stopped from circulating. This keeps you from inhaling as many floating allergens. After years of dealing with the itchiness of allergic skin and eczema, constant scratching becomes a tough habit to break–even after allergy therapy. This can cause further damage to the skin, so you should cover the area with a thick protectant like Vaseline or vitamin E oil under an elastic bandage. This allows your skin to heal and can help you to break the cycle. You can find a large number of over-the-counter and prescription remedies for allergies, but you may need to try a few before you find the one that works best for you. You doctor can provide you with a sample or you can buy the smallest package available. If that medicine doesn't work to soothe your symptoms, you can try the next medication without spending too much money. Dust mites unfortunately are unavoidable for allergy sufferers. They live in your bed linens, bed and pillows. This is a very disgusting state of affairs! To fend off these undesirables, hide your bedding in protective, zippered covers. Every week, kill mites by washing all bedding with hot water.
To combat bronchial allergies, make sure that you stay hydrated. Without fluids, your mucosal membranes may become dry or inflamed. Lack of sufficient hydration also affects the bronchial tubes by causing your mucosal glands to produce secretions that are difficult to break-up. When your allergies flare, irrigate your sinuses and nasal passages for quick relief from your symptoms. Use a neti pot or other nasal irrigation product along with sterile, filtered, boiled and cooled or distilled water. This practice flushes out irritants and excess mucus, allowing you to breathe more easily.

Make careful note of the condition of costume jewelry you wish to collect. Costume jewelry can prove to be a good investment, but worn, broken, or otherwise damaged pieces are not worth the expense. A piece that is in excellent condition will increase in value.
You need to know the type of gem that you are purchasing. The three types are imitation, synthetic and natural. Imitation has little value, as it is generally plastic, while synthetic and natural are considered to be real gems. Natural stones are found in the earth and are mined out, while synthetic ones are grown in laboratories.
Jewelry should be a purchase that truly lasts a lifetime. To ensure you are buying a quality piece, refuse to deal with anybody but the most reputable of jewelers. Any high-quality jewelry will show superior craftsmanship, and will be well-made. The jeweler must be able to provide a history of the piece. This will tell you who made the piece, and where the components came from. This way, you can ensure you are paying a fair price. Unless you purchase jewelry that is of high-quality, the piece is not likely to last a lifetime. You want to ensure that your jewelry always looks its best so do everything you can to stop it from tarnishing. Exposure to water can affect the finish, so avoid it. A lot of metals will rust, tarnish or dull when they come in contact with water. You can give your jewelry an additional layer of protection by applying a thin coat of clear nail polish to it. When buying jewelry, think about what kind of stone would be right. Choose stones that complement your complexion and that best reflect your personality. Neutral colored stones go well with many different outfits. It's a waste of time buying something that you won't wear regularly.
Implementing these ideas will be one of the easiest things you do. They are so simple and practical, that nothing too special is needed to make them useful. That is pretty important. Over-complication is not usually a good thing. Keep these tips in mind and your jewelry education will pay off. Don't store your jewelry in the bathroom or laundry room. Any space where the humidity is normally high, or where the temperature fluctuates drastically, can lead to damage of your precious jewelry. Instead, store it in a climate-controlled location such as your bedroom, perhaps inside or on top of a dresser.
If the person you are shopping for is a unique individual, consider choosing a one-of-a-kind piece crafted specifically for them. This shows that you are both thoughtful and creative, traits that someone who would want a unique piece of jewelry is likely to value.
There are so many things to wonder about when it comes to jewelry – how much to pay, what style to wear, when to give, how to care for it – that it's easy for anyone to feel a little overwhelmed. With any luck, this article can help with your jewelry questions.
Surprise your partner with a stunning piece of jewelry simply to let her know that you love and appreciate her. All women love jewelry, especially when it is an unexpected gift. You will enjoy in her pleasure as she unwraps that beautiful piece of jewelry. Both men and women can become overwhelmed by jewelry sometimes, whether it is the style, price, or the right occasion for purchasing it. With any luck, this article can help with your jewelry questions.
You can use lemon juice to clean your copper jewelry. Copper tarnishes with the passage of time. The aged patina style is very popular but when you want copper pieces to have a shiny appearance, clean them with vinegar or lemon juice.
If you own costume jewelry, it is important to properly care for it. Well-done costume jewelry is often worth the price, but if it's worn out or visibly damaged, it won't be worth the effort it takes to restore it. Make sure you have a piece that is in excellent condition, because this will be a lot more fruitful for you down the road.

Check this – Nutrition Tips To Establish Better Eating Habits
Never use an entire egg when making any type of breakfast dish, instead just use the whites. The egg whites do not have as nearly much cholesterol as a yolk. You should use two egg whites to replace every whole egg that you would typically use.
Replace refined white flour products with whole grain products. Whole grain products, particularly the wheat variety, have higher fiber and protein content than refined grains. Whole grain will help keep you full for longer amounts of time and will also improve your cholesterol levels. Make sure you see the word "whole" as one of the initial grain items on the list of ingredients. Keep away from snacks that contain saturated fats in high amounts. You probably know to avoid fatty meats, but foods that have vegetable oil in them also tend to be high in saturated fats. These foods can contain more saturated fat than meat does. Saturated fat is one of the worst forms of fat because it can cause increased fat levels throughout your entire body. Even products that claim to be cholesterol-free can still cause your blood cholesterol to be elevated.
Nuts are an overlooked diet food that any dieter should take advantage of. High in protein and low in calories and saturated fats, nuts are an excellent replacement for meat when you need a protein boost. Almonds are the best, providing lots of protein without the burden of high amounts of fat. Quitting your addiction to soda and junk food can be very difficult, but it is important for good nutrition. You can become used to it being easy to get and the taste of junk food. This is normal, and before long, will subside. There will be a noticeable difference in the way you feel after you start replacing junk food with nutritious, healthy snacks and meals. If you want to eat a nutritious diet, you need to know how to balance what you eat. When you schedule out your food intake, it is critical to maintain the proper proportions of the primary nutritional categories. Strive for 20% protein, 50% carbs and 30% fat in every meal you consume.
Women who are pregnant should take extra care of their nutrition. Getting enough protein is important for women during pregnancy. Unfortunately, women often do not have a very good appetite during this time. You can add the white of a pasteurized egg to your morning smoothie to get some extra protein. An egg white contains three grams of proteins, fifteen calories and not fat. However, the eggs should be pasteurized to reduce the risk of health complications. Limit your salt intake. Sodium is linked to several health problems, like high blood pressure, heart problems and even kidney failure. People who constantly eat sodium can have problems with bone damage due to low calcium. For some added protection against disease, try to add some leafy greens to your diet. Lettuce is leafy and it's green, but not nearly as nutritious as kale, swiss chard, collard greens, mustard greens and spinach. These are the super foods that experts mean when they say "leafy greens".
When you are looking for a meal that is easy to make and still gives you a lot of nutrition, try a baked potato. They offer a lot of fiber, and if you leave off the sour cream and butter, you will have a lower calorie meal with less fat.
Salad dressing is what really can make a salad unhealthy for you. Creamy dressings have a lot of fat and very few nutrients. Vinegar or olive oil based dressings are much healthier. Adding a few walnuts or cranberries to a salad can also add interesting flavors. Mix protein and carbohydrates when you sit down to eat. You'll still get energy from the carbohydrates, but the protein will ensure that there is something in your system besides sugar. Eating a mix of the two this way will keep your blood sugar stable and keep your appetite down.

Green Energy And The Race To Save The Earth
Upgrading your home's boiler is a smart way to save energy. Many old boilers were not made with saving energy in mind, whereas new boilers tend to be more energy efficient. They can reduce your energy bill and they don't produce as much carbon dioxide. If you're a business owner, then you'll be aware of your electrical cost. Buy solar panels and use this for a marketing strategy in your business. Many people enjoy charities and programs that invest in sustainable, green technology. Over time, all the extra business that you have attracted will pay for the cost of having the solar panels and you could get great benefits as you will not have the need to pay your electric bills. A tankless water heater that heats water on-demand is a great energy saving device. The old-fashioned water heaters run constantly, even running when not needed and that wastes energy. These heaters only heat water when necessary, which will increase your energy savings. When cooking, using lids on pots and pans is an easy and effective way for you to help conserve energy. If you do this, you'll be able to hold onto the heat you're currently cooking with, which means you can set the temperature lower. Making a habit of this can help you save a great deal of energy. Help keep the costs of green or renewable energy technologies lower by demanding them. You are entitled, as a consumer, to have any environmentally friendly products you desire. Economies of scale mean that the more companies produce green technologies, the lower the cost to produce each individual unit. If we as consumers band together and buy green products, it will encourage companies to develop more green technologies. Look at the seals on your freezer and refrigerator often to save energy. If the seal is broken it may cause the refrigerator to keep running, which ends up wasting lots of energy, and costs you extra money on utility bills. Put a piece of paper in the door: if it slides out easily, you need to replace your seal.
Try cutting energy usage in your business, as well as your home. Look into using solar panels in your company and you can also use it like a marketing tool. Many consumers prefer going to businesses that support green energy technology and care for the environment. Over time, you will gain extra business, which will help pay the costs of solar panels, and over time, you end up paying much less on your energy bills.
Try not to set the heat very high in your home unless it's an absolute must. Wear sweatpants and a sweater if you are chilly. Turning the heat all the way up will use a lot of unneeded energy.
To protect the environment and decrease energy costs, it is important that you have green energy in your home. You don't need an electric vehicle to make a difference! Read on for tips on how to make your house energy-efficient.
Use a dehumidifier in your home. When the air is humid, it usually feels warmer. Before turning the air conditioner on and using a lot of energy, run your dehumidifier for a while. You may be able to avoid the air conditioner for a while longer than you may have thought. Do your bit to ensure that big businesses are encouraged to embrace green energy habits. Your awareness as a citizen and consumer must be valued and used. When people are aware of which companies do not favor green energy use, they will stay away from them. It is important that all businesses are held accountable for their energy use, so as to encourage others to do the right thing by embracing green energy. As this article has shown there are many ways to incorporate green energy into your life. Becoming a green energy user allows for some peace of mind and more money in your budget. Implement these ideas today and make tomorrow a little brighter.

I received an excellent trade from tn_veggie_gardner! I got some great seeds and 2 new VooDoo Lily bulbs in exchange for around 100 Cannas. Although the trade was a little uneven, I was happy to give my Cannas a good home - as I didn't have any more room for them. Can't wait to see how they all come up. I highly recommend trading with him! |
Great local trade. Thanks for all the bulbs! |

Just curious: Is there any rule of thumb to follow when selecting between widespread vs. centerset faucets? Any advantages/disadvantages of one type over the other? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by advertguy2 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 23, 09 at 15:54
centreset usually looks cheaper in my opinion (which of course is worth very little). |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Wed, Sep 23, 09 at 21:59
I don't know about asthetics, I think each one can look really nice if used in the proper environment. The higher end bathrooms usually (and I usually because I inspect homes for a living and see centerset used in higherend bathrooms sometimes too) have wide set. We have centerset in our .5 bath so I can say from personal experience that their harder to keep clean because the spacing in between the handles and spout is so small. We have wide set in our master bath and their ok to use and easy to clean, but my favorite is single lever. Simple and classic. I sometimes regret not getting a single lever for our master bath, but live and learn. |
Widespread are easier to keep clean than centerset but both can look nice. |
Widespread, 100% of the time (imo) unless it's a tiny powder room. |
- Posted by loves2read (My Page) on Thu, Sep 24, 09 at 9:54
our contractor said that wide spread is rule of thumb for granite counter tops/and I guess single level would work as well but the centerset holes are more difficult to cut I guess--- what about the mini-spread sets--would they would ok with granite |
Actually, neither! I prefer the single handle, single pole faucets. I like the minimal look. |

Looking for a newer Linux Mint 9 "Isadora" Fluxbox look-a-like
I'm not a very experienced linux user. I've tried different distros from time to time..
The reason i'm not using linux on a daily basis is because i don't understand some things. My favourite distro so far is Linux Mint 9 "Isadora" Fluxbox x86 .
Just because it is so tiny, simple and there is almost no menu or anything.
Is that because of the fluxbox? Is it possible for me to make a later version of Mint to look exactly like that?
My problem is that Linux Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora looks more and more like Windows.. Huge buttons, a lot of buttons, icons and menus! I want to get away from that!
What i want is a linux distro that is just totally blank! And the menu pops up when i right-click and everything is there. Just like Linux Mint 9 Fluxbox i tried.
Maybe you can suggest another linux distro that works just the way i want with almost nothing visual in "x" .. I just want to right-click to get menu with all software. I don't want enormous menu and menu trees and stuff like that. As invisible and tiny as possible.
How ever i'm familiar with the apt-get methods and if i'm going to choose a linux distro apt-get has to work on that distro as well.
Sorry if i am not able to explain this in shorter words or in a better way but my English is not on fire right now.
All help is much appreciated!

Van Gaal: Fans didn't rate Edson
Holland international Braafheid was the only Bayern player to leave the club on transfer deadline day on Monday, although compatriot van Gaal admits he would have preferred to keep hold of the full-back. "He was not rated by the fans in Munich," said van Gaal on Bavarian television. "In such a case, it is better to let the player go and leave the club. "Edson is an excellent defender. He has just been unlucky here. "I really hope the fans in Glasgow help him." Bayern also offloaded Luca Toni, Andreas Ottl and Breno during the winter transfer window, but did not make any new signings themselves.

Kirsty's killers await appeal date
Comment on this storyJohannesburg -
Cousins Lindon Wagner and Robin Harwood were on Tuesday granted leave to appeal their sentences for the death of Kirsty Theologo.
The matter was transferred to the Johannesburg High Court. There was no sign of the two at the high court, sitting in Palm Ridge, when leave to appeal was granted shortly after 9am.
"We don't know when it will be heard. The date will be released at a later stage," Harwood's lawyer, Gail Sidwell, told reporters.
Last Wednesday, the court sentenced the two to lengthy jail terms for Theologo's death after an apparent satanic ritual in October 2011.
Wagner was jailed for life for murder and a further 18 years for the attempted murder of Theologo's friend. Harwood was jailed for 20 years for murder and another 20 years for the attempted murder.
During the sentencing, Judge Geraldine Borchers said Wagner played the more active role in the killing.
"He was prepared to lie under oath. And denied responsibility for his actions," she said. - Sapa

Do you work at a nonprofit? Help shape the future of Idealist!
Take our brief survey to help us chart the course.
Deep∙Kid /ˈdēp∙ˈkid/ n.1 [Formal] a public school student, particularly that of creative writing, esp. with the Deep program (see SUPER-GENIUS) 2 [Informal] a brilliant, yet unpretentious published author, poet, or playwright enrolled in a Savannah-Chatham County Public School 3 [Slang] deeplings. —vi. 1 to write well, esp. with gusto, wit, and courage.
Here's how our after-school program works:
Who: 12-14 students from grades 6-8 meet with two trained Deep Writing Fellows (with clearance from the Board of Education/Campus Police) for 75 minutes after-school, once per week.
What: Students and Writing Fellows meet weekly to learn about creative writing, and each student produces original stories, poems, and plays. They share and learn from one another's pieces, and with the help of our Fellows, they polish their work to a publishable standard.
Where: Workshops meet in a classroom or library space provided by each participating location.
When: Deep holds two 10-week sessions each year (Oct-Dec; Feb-Apr). Each week, workshops meet for 75 minutes. By the end of the series, each DeepKid gets 12.5 hours of personal attention and individualized instruction in writing.
How: Each week, Writing Fellows teach according to Deep's tested workshop structure, dedicating at least three weeks to basic skills, six weeks to more advanced skills, and one week to revision. Writing Fellows provide extensive, constructive, and encouraging feedback on students' work. At the end of ten weeks, each DeepKid's work is published in a professionally illustrated, perfect-bound anthology of student work.
DeepKids are invited (along with family and friends) to attend our book release and open-mic reading, Deep Speaks!, in June and January each year, at the Jepson Center, to celebrate their accomplishment and receive their published book.

MILLE-XTERM and LTSP
Diskless terminals need a way to store configuration data, such as screen resolution and available printers. Under LTSP, a central file called lts.conf stores the configuration of terminals and has to be edited manually. With thousands of terminals, you need a hierarchical database—that's the purpose of the configurator.
This component is written in PHP and has two interfaces. The first is dedicated to terminals. During the boot process, the terminal requests its configuration from the server using its MAC address as a parameter. The server generates the corresponding configuration and sends it to the terminal in the standard lts.conf format. A wrapper around the getltscfg command ensures backward compatibility with the other LTSP scripts.
The other interface lets administrators manage the configuration of the terminals via a Web browser. Administrators can organize terminals hierarchically by groups and apply configurations according to specific criteria, such as location or hardware type. But the configurator serves yet another function. It is designed to work with links, a console text browser, as shown in Figure 3. The terminal can boot in a special admin mode that does not require running the X server. To boot in this mode, the option mode=admin is appended to the kernel options in the bootloader configuration. Then, links is launched with the terminal configurator URL and MAC. The administrator can change the terminal settings directly. When complete, the terminal reboots and receives its new configuration.
The configurator also is useful for building terminal inventories. Hardware information is sent to the configurator during the boot process. Administrators can generate reports regarding the state of the terminals. Also, every connection to the configurator is logged and then can be analyzed to determine terminal usage, user login information and much more. You know how managers like reports!
When a terminal boots, it requests a display from the application server. To dispatch users on available application servers, MILLE-XTERM provides a load balancer. The first version of the load balancer (proof of concept) required five lines of PHP and returned a random address from a static list of application servers. Although simple, this approach had some drawbacks. First, an off-line server should be removed from the list and not be returned to the terminals. And, to provide reliable load balancing, several factors, such as number of processors, speed and load average have to be taken into account. Therefore, a much more robust and complete Python system has replaced the initial prototype (Figure 4). The load balancer agent runs on every application server, collecting data on the state of the application server and waiting for load-balancer server requests. The balancer is also a Python script that runs on the boot server. It contacts each load-balancer agent to determine its state and computes a weight for each server. A greater weight indicates that the server is less loaded and will be selected more often statistically to accept new users. A terminal request for an application server will then prompt the load-balancer server to get a randomly chosen application server in the weighted list.
Let's examine a concrete example: three application servers and two boot servers. Install the mille-xterm-lbagent package on each application server, and install mille-xterm-lbserver on each boot server. Make sure that the respective services are started, lbagent and lbserver. Add one node entry for each application server in the file /etc/mille-xterm/lbsconfig.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <lbsconfig> <nodes> <group default="true" name="PROD"> <node address="http://10.0.0.1:8001" name="xapp1"/> <node address="http://10.0.0.2:8001" name="xapp2"/> <node address="http://10.0.0.3:8001" name="xapp3"/> </group> </nodes>
Copy this file on every boot server. Fire up a browser and enter the URL of the load balancer to see it in action. By default, lbserver listens on port 8008, so don't forget to append the port to the URL: http://localhost:8008/. IP addresses of the chosen application server will be displayed. Press the refresh button to get a new IP and you're set!
Simple question about application in other settings
I have tested at home K12LTSP, Sun Rays, and Windows Terminal Server, and a decade ago used Citrix Winframe for a couple of mid-sized projects (2-3 servers). I have long been curious about LTSP and the like in small corporate settings but was and am concerned about (a) long-term support, (b) scalability, and (c) software maintenance and distribution.
Regarding the latter, Debian packages have been, in my limited experience, the easiest way to deploy new Linux packages, and I particularly like the wrapping I've seen in MintInstall, part of the Mint offshoot of Ubuntu 8.
How might the MILLE Project address my three concerns. Also, is there enough support in English? I do not speak or read French.

Errata : firefox memory setting
To prevent Firefox to use memory for caching, the article says to set the parameter browser.cache.memory.enable to "False", but it should be written to set this parameter to "True" to get this behavior.

Sorry for the mistake.
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.
