I congratulate all of you who will receive today your degree. Your education as evidenced by the degree will serve others and you well. I personally owe a great debt to this University and her people. Names like Bryan, Edwards, Cox, Wheeler, Dobbins, Flynt, Forman, Rhea, Walker, Hunt, Swindle, Teale, Hamilton, Armstrong, and Haywood are among those stamped upon my mind and heart. I am most grateful to Dr. Corts for the opportunity to address you today if for no other reason than expressing gratitude on behalf of my community for the engagement of the people of this university, for remembering a place called Marion in the County of Perry. Many of you are familiar with Perry County. You may know the beauty of our forests and pastures. Perhaps you've canoed the Cahaba or biked our rural roads. You may have been fascinated by the community's role in the Civil War, or Civil Rights, or higher education. Your own university was begun there as Howard College. The Chapel and a dormitory from the University's years there in the 19th Century still stand. The monument to the black man who saved the lives of Samford students of another generation and gave his own life for them, may be viewed from Judson's campus. You may also know the more desperate conditions and now widely publicized status of our community, what the Birmingham News calls the "third world of Alabama." The statistics are grim: 54.3% of the children lives in poverty, 41% of our senior citizens lives in poverty, 35% of adults (ages 18-64) lives in poverty. 18% of our population lives in extreme poverty, that is, they exist on an income less than one-half of the poverty rate. Unmarried teenage mothers account for 22% of all births. We are among the five counties in Alabama that lead the State in school dropout rates. (The Picture of Poverty, Alabama Poverty Project, p. 136) (Alabama Kids Count, Voices for Alabama's Children, p. 68) In a state which leads the nation in per capita cases of diabetes, Perry County leads the State with this ignominious distinction. We also lead the population in per capita cases of hypertension and heart disease. In arguably the wealthiest country in the world, such statistics should not be possible. I am mindful that many of you in this graduating class hail from states across this country and around the world. In Appalachia, the black belt of Mississippi or Georgia, the low country of South Carolina, the ghettoes of Los Angeles, the Barrios of Caracas, the slums of Calcutta, in Somalia, you will find crushing poverty as well and the opportunity to bring hope and healing. What are we to do about the grim realities of poverty? For much of my generation, we have chosen at best to delegate to government programs the responsibility for the poor and at worst we have chosen to flee from the poor in an attempt to ignore them. We salved our consciences by calling the poor shiftless, lazy, and irresponsible. Arm-chair quarterbacks in business, education and government grabbed the easy rhetoric of more motivation and better education. Upon examining the historic dearth of infrastructure in west central Alabama--highways, shipping, communications, and other fundamental economic building blocks, I have suggested that governors and legislatures of the last 50 years secretly hoped that a seismic shift or marvel of plate tectonics would somehow cause the Black Belt to fall off of Alabama into Mississippi. With rare exceptions, the words and programs of my generation have failed to ameliorate the circumstances of the poor. In fact, most of us would agree today that the gap between the "haves" and "have-not's" in our country and in the world actually is a chasm. Alabama Congressman Artur Davis illustrates the need to heal the Black Belt, when he asks us to contemplate an Alabama where poverty is substantially reduced or eradicated. Then, he contends that Alabama would lead all Southern states in per capita income. Our standard of living would rival that of the most prosperous and progressive states in the Union. While I believe that no state is stronger than its weakest county, just as no chain is stronger than its weakest link, and while I believe that there are many sound economic, political, social reasons for focusing resources and attention on this region, I believe the community of believers, of Christ-followers, should reach out to this county and to this region because it is the right thing to do. We in the Church too long have hidden behind a twisted view of Christ's rebuke to his disciples, "The poor you will always have with you" as if we were some how excused from the rest of his teachings about the poor and oppressed. A prophetic evangelical named Jim Wallis rightly asserts that helping and encouraging the poor is a biblical mandate. "During his seminary days in Chicago, he and few of his classmates decided to do a study to find every biblical reference on one particular subject--the poor and oppressed. Thousands of verses later, and to their astonishment, they discovered that those who are marginalized, mistreated, abandoned and forgotten by everyone else fill the Bible. In the Old Testament, poverty is second only to idolatry as the most prominent theme and the two are often linked. In the New Testament, one of every sixteen verses is about the poor. In the Gospels, the number is one out of every ten verses. In the Gospel of Luke, its one of every seven, and in the book of James, one of every five verses." (Jim Wallis, The Soul of Politics, (New York: The New Press, 1994), p. 149. The words of Christ are compelling. In Jesus' manifesto of his ministry in the fourth chapter of Luke, He announced the fulfillment of time when he read," The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4: 18-19, RSV) In the last discourse of Jesus in Matthew, He speaks so clearly, "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the very foundations of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' When those on His right hand are confused by the words of the Son of Man, because they do not remember ministering to Him, He says, "Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these, My brethren, you did it to Me." (Matthew 25: 34-36, and 40, RSV) Men and women of the Class of 2004 of Samford University, you bring hope! Your president has challenged you to remember your school's first home. Before Lakeshore, before Eastlake, there was Marion. In the new Millennium, your university has embraced again the people of Perry County through many of you who are here today. While commissions study again and again the plight of the Black Belt and recommend the same or similar action plans of previously appointed commissions, while councils wring their hands over poverty and failure, while government and foundations mandate ineffective and costly programs without input from the very people they wish to aid, you act. You become the hands and feet of Christ! When public school children need help, you send tutors and readers for them, you send faculty to organize and implement enrichment programs during the summer. When public health, because of budget cuts, cancels programs to aid poor hypertension patients, your Pharm.D. students arrive to conduct the hypertension clinics. When you learn of the county's epidemic of diabetes, you send pharmacy students in person and by phone to monitor and encourage diabetics to comply with treatment and exercise. When you learn of the economic potential of visitors and tourism, your Howard College of Arts and Sciences begins planning a bike tour and race in the county. Nursing, Business, Exercise Science, students and faculty listening and responding. When children in Perry County would see a world of possibilities, you came for them, brought them here and showed them what hope looks like. You understand what so few seem to know. You don't do "to"
or "for" the poor. You are "with" the poor.
Mother Theresa said it well when she admonished, "Today it is
very fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable
to talk with them." In these remarkable initiatives, we discover meaning and purpose by giving of ourselves to those in need. While a number of formative events frame my time on this campus, two especially stand out. One of the most important lessons while a student at this University came as the result of assigned reading in a psychology class. The book was written by Victor Frankl and was entitled, Man's Search for Meaning. Frankl chronicled the lessons of the Nazi concentration camp where he was imprisoned. He had every reason to hate and to give up. His wife, his parents and his brother were killed by the Nazis. Dr. Frankl observed that the men and women who seemed to retain their sanity and even their dignity in the face of torture, disease, starvation, gas chambers and death were people focused upon helping those around them. Forgoing meager or starvation rations by giving their food to those in greater need, caring for the sick and dying of Aushwitz, attempting double portions of labor to cover for those unable to work, facing the rage of a world gone mad--Frankl, an atheist at the time, observed the power of faith, yes and the power of living beyond self that separated these extraordinary people of the Holocaust from the withering souls around them, who were living without hope, who were living without meaning. Frankl was awestruck by the revelation. In fact, Frankl found God at Auschwitz. The second was much less profound but equally influential. In the spring of my junior year, two good friends who were music majors met me in Seibert Hall after a handball game to talk about forming a rock band to perform a rock musical called, Natural High. Let me assure you that they were talking with me only because of perceived abilities in organization and management. You see I have what my friends kindly call a "choral" voice. In my words, that is a voice best heard when surrounded by a very large choir. I agreed to help and the three of us were joined by another 20 Samford students. We found scrap lumber, built a not-so-portable set, rehearsed late night and Saturdays and booked engagements on college campuses and arrived unannounced at public parks where flower children, hippies, recreational and hard core drug users hung out. We sang about the natural high of God's love, about finding meaning, about a "more narrow" but ever more fulfilling way. We talked and joked and shared with anyone who would listen. Every person who was a member of Salt and Company remembers that summer and was blessed immeasurably by what we gave and unexpectedly received. We live in a self absorbed society. Billy Graham has said "we stamp 'In God We Trust' on our coins, but 'me first' on our hearts." Our world commends superficial answers to life's important questions. Consumerism, materialism, fixations on sex, fame and fortune seem to rule the day. We search for meaning and happiness in all the wrong places. Helen Keller rightly said, "Many persons have a wrong idea about what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." Psychologists who study happiness repeatedly discover a puzzling paradox; the happiest people are those who pay little attention to the goal of becoming happy. According to William Damon of Stanford and the Hoover Institution, many of the things which we strive for in order to become happy seem to have little to do with it. "Affluence is not strongly related to happiness. Status, glory, and other advantages that we avidly seek do not make us any happier than we were before we acquired these treasures. Any boost in mood usually proves temporary, wearing off soon after the initial glow of self-congratulation. What does matter is engaging in a noble purpose that creates great personal satisfaction by bringing us outside ourselves into activities that capture our imaginations and promote the causes we believe in. The paradox is that hard and often thankless effort in service of a noble purpose, with little thought of personal gain, is a surer path to happiness than the eager pursuit of happiness for its own sake. Self-indulgence simply does not work. Our truest and deepest desire is the universal yearning for a life with meaning." (William Damon, Noble Purpose, (Philadelphia: Templeton Foundation Press, 2003) pp. 67-69. Billie Jean Young, a daughter of the Black Belt, the first black woman to graduate from Judson College and also a graduate of this law school, writes compelling poetry. She is the recipient of the Governor's Art Award for the State of Mississippi and a MacArthur Fellow. In her poem, "Wake-up Call," she cries out: I thank God that He has awakened in many of these graduates, a spirit that calls us to the aid of those in poverty in the Black Belt. May God bless the Class of 2004 and this great University. |

@ GlassAxe- Your idea for creating a mind map seems like it would work well for writing fiction or longer works. When I am writing fiction I do not like to create outlines because I feel like they are too rigid, cornering me into a predetermined plot.
With the web or flashcard technique, you have the freedom to shuffle story elements around. You can also add or subtract story elements with ease.
This seems like a good way to organize a story, but still have flexibility. I think I might try to use this instead of just writing or using a rigid outline next time I write.

Paper Moon
Dave Brubeck Quartet
1. Music, Maestro, Please! 8:52 2. I Hear A Rhapsody 6:02 3. Symphony 5:05 4. I Thought About You 5:17 5. It's Only A Paper Moon 5:00 6. Long Ago And Far Away 7:59 7. St. Louis Blues 3:09
On his third release for Concord Jazz, Dave Brubeck and his quartet (Jerry Bergonzi on tenor, Chris Brubeck on bass and bass trombone, and Randy Jones on drums) give inspired renditions of seven standards. The songs emphasize the 1940s, but some of the earliest pop era music - pre World War I - is highlighted by "St. Louis Blues," the Depression era by "Paper Moon," and the classical pops genre by "Symphony." A musical gem from his Concord recordings, this is a must-have for any fan of Dave Brubeck.

Culture Connect Featured Event
Puerto Rico's Mijo de la Palma has extended their Northeast Tour and will present two encore performances in Cambridge, MA and Hartford, CT as well as presentations in New Jersey and Washington DC.
Friday, Dec. 28 • 8 p.m. • $10 sliding scale • Democracy Center, Harvard Square
Saturday, Dec. 29 • 8 p.m. • $10 sliding scale • La Paloma Sabanera, Frog Hollow
Far from being an ensemble, Mijo is more about a metamorphous crossing of people. Looking back at years of musical encounters with diverse people, Mijo resembles a Socratic circle that refuses a definition. Fusión Jíbara has been the tagline adopted by many but it seems to be more complex than that. Fusión Jíbara resembles one of the many aspects that has characterized Mijo, for their ability to merge creative energies as a whole. Not surprisingly, what seems to endure is the Jíbaro vibe. As Mijo embarks on their US tour, Canto E' Jíbaro, they hope to find new ways to feed their soul as they try to bring the same to those who experience it.

Public Abstract:
It has been widely appreciated that human embryonic stem cells and somatic stem cells are expected to be sources of cells to regenerate or rejuvenate damaged tissues, yet the research work on human embryonic stem cells has been hindered by the difficulties in manipulating their self-renewal versus differentiation properties in vitro. This is largely due to lack of understanding of the molecular and cellular basis for maintenance of human embryonic stem cell pluripotency, the ability to duplicate itself and also give rise to other types of cells with specialized functions such as blood cells, neural cells in the brain and skeletal muscle cells. Like many other cell types, the functions of human embryonic stem cells are regulated by extracellular signals. A unique intracellular signal transduction mechanism can interpret various extracellular signals, guiding the cell to adjust its activities for adaptation to the changes in the environment. One important biochemical mechanism for signal transduction is reversible phosphorylation on proteins, in which a phosphate can be added or removed from proteins. This reversible process is facilitated by two groups of enzymes, i.e. kinases that can add a phosphate on a protein and phosphatases that remove a phosphate from a protein. The applicant discovered a phosphatase that operates in the initial step of intracellular signal transduction more than a decade ago, published in Science, 1993. Notably, his group has found that removal of this phosphatase promotes mouse embryonic stem cell self-renewal. More recently, the applicant has also observed that this phosphatase has a similar function in human embryonic stem cells. On this project, the applicant and his colleagues will use their expertise on stem cells to investigate and illuminate the biological properties of human embryonic stem cells. Based on the database accumulated from other research groups, this laboratory will do experiments and develop a better set of biological markers for identification of human embryonic stem cells. Finally, the applicant and his colleagues will develop new reagents that can be used to amplify the human embryonic stem cells without changing its property in culture for basic research and clinical application.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This applicant must say at the outset that I am very proud of being an American, in particular a Californian. Californians have the tradition of stimulating an entrepreneurial spirit, thus making the state ahead of others to launch novel and risky ventures, particularly in the biotechnology field, and in the stem cell research. In the 21st century, there is no doubt that the research work on human embryonic stem cells will take the lead in the advancement of biomedicine and biotechnology. Progress in this type of research will benefit people suffering from many different types of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular disorders. On the proposed project, the applicant and his colleagues will take advantage of decade-long research experience in molecular and cell biology, particularly on mouse and human embryonic stem cells. We will carefully investigate the human embryonic stem cell properties, to understand better how these cells can duplicate themselves and also produce other cell types with specialized functions, such as blood cells, neural cells and skeletal muscle cells. This information will be instrumental for future research and application of human embryonic stem cells in and outside of California. Based on experimental results from this and other laboratories, we will be able to develop a better set of biological markers for identification of human embryonic stem cells. Finally and most importantly, we will design and produce new reagents that can be widely used in culturing and amplification of human embryonic stem cells for basic research and clinical application. All this will benefit tremendously Californians and people in this country, and in the world.

LANGUAGES are so many in this world but still we can understand them all .My idea was to create a face with out features to emphasize some of our senses, the speech, the hearing, and feeling.. and how we can Communicate even if we do not speak the same language and even if we are different. so is not important to speak the same LANGUAGE when we have the good intention to communicate.
my second poster is in the same way only with a background full off diffrend expressions.

William Shatner has been a steadily working actor for more than 50 years. He has maintained a strong cult following largely as a result of his memorable portrayal of Capt. James T. Kirk, erstwhile commander of the starship USS Enterprise. Shatner's Kirk is prone to dramatic soliloquies, pregnant pauses, and staccato diatribes that infuse the brainy show with a healthy dose of masculinity.
Shatner spent many years honing his craft in TV and live theater before his debut alongside Yul Brynner in The Brothers Karamazov. In the 1960s, he starred in films such as The Intruder and Judgment at Nuremberg. He had numerous TV guest-starring roles such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Defenders, The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone. In 1966 he was cast in Star Trek, the series eventually became a bona-fide cult classic.
After Star Trek ended, Shatner spent most of the 1970s guest-starring on many primetime TV shows, including Hawaii Five-O, Marcus Welby, M.D. and Ironside. The 1980s saw a major resurgence in Shatner's career with a series of big-budget Star Trek feature films. In addition, he starred in the cop series T.J. Hooker, as well as in the films Airplane II: The Sequel, Loaded Weapon 1 and Miss Congeniality. He also starred on ABC's Boston Legal from 2004 to 2008 in the role of Denny Crane. Shatner is the spokesperson for Priceline and participated in a series of commercials with fellow Star Trek alum Leonard Nimoy. In 2008, he began hosting a talk show called Shatner's Raw Nerve on the Biography Channel.

SDSU junior and Compact Scholar Trevor Brannen was recently accepted into the prestigious Semester at Sea study abroad program.
Brannen discovered the Semester at Sea Program during an SDSU-sponsored study abroad fair. As soon as he stopped by the table, he was hooked.
"I couldn't believe there was a program that enabled you to travel all over the world," Brannen said.
Through the program, Brannen will travel to Asia, Africa and Europe. Brannen is most excited to visit Japan and China.
Staying on track
When Brannen initially applied for Semester at Sea, he did not meet certain eligibility requirements.
"Semester at Sea only accepts people with high GPAs, and mine didn't meet the requirement," Brannen said. "But it inspired me to work hard, and eventually they noticed my improvements and accepted me into the program."
Brannen attributes much of his success to the Compact Scholars program.
"Trevor is a strong example of a student that has benefited from Compact Scholars student support services, and a reminder that positive interventions can yield positive outcomes," said Janet Abbott, director of the Compact Scholars student success program.
About SDSU's Compact Scholars Program
The Compact Scholars Program is the postsecondary component of the Compact for Success — a partnership between the Sweetwater Union High School District and San Diego State University.
The program supports student success by connecting students to the rich resources of the San Diego State campus community. Compact Scholars actively engage in "high impact" educational experiences, most notably study abroad, service-learning, undergraduate research and leadership development.
The goal of the Compact Scholars Program is to deepen student engagement and promote higher graduation rates for Sweetwater District students.

"Navajeevan Bala Bhavan" translates into, and signifies "New Life"; for scores of youngsters
Children today are caught up in the negative externalities of globalisation. Hundreds of children sever bonds with their families, move to cities and finally end up on the streets. The largest numbers come to Vijayawada, on transit into the cities of Hyderabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Bombay and Delhi.
These boys and girls are vulnerable and often fall prey to ruthless middlemen, brokers, child abusers and traffickers, drug peddlers, substance abusers, porters, police, rickshaw pullers, auto drivers and street addicted adults. The city has very little resources and time for them. They eke out their living by rag picking, shoe polishing, working as underpaid labourers and as domestic help. Young girls are drawn into prostitution. They suffer from diseases, wounds that fester, and even from STD/HIV. They are malnourished, ill-clothed and have no friends to turn to.
This is the situation that NJBB wants to address both in Vijayawada and in the fast growing cities and municipalities of AP.
(Within the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation limits, there are altogether 109 slums/hutment colonies where the most marginalized and socially excluded communities/families live and where, child trafficking - child labour especially girl-child domestic labour and children engaged in commercial sex work, instances of child marriage, etc., are becoming rampant.)
A child friendly society where all children enjoy their rights.
Right to Survival,
Right to Protection,
Right to Development and Right to Participation
As enshrined in the United Nations' convention on the rights of the child, practicing non-discrimination and ensuring the best interest of the child.
"To ensure rights of "Young at Risk" through micro and macro level efforts of Rescue, Rehabilitation,
Community based action, Capacity building, Advocacy and Lobbying".
-Young at Risk for NJBB are: Street children/youth, child workers, children in conflict with law, children
addicted to substance abuse, children infected/affected with HIV/AIDS, children with disabilities and children from marginalized communities especially girl children.

Verizon introduces data sharing plans with unlimited talk and text [USA]
Posted By Godwin On July 2, 2012 @ 4:34 AM In General Tech | 5 Comments
[1]Verizon Wireless (a USA telecom company) has kept its promise of providing 'Share everything' plans for their users. What makes these new plans different than other plans is they come with unlimited talk and text and shared data; that is to say, data that is shared among all devices attached to the family plan. There are a number of plans users can choose from, depending on their device and platform as well as their data requirements.
The new plans launched by Verizon allows you to share data between up to 10 devices. The supported devices include smartphones, basic phones, mobile broadband (3G and 4G) devices, and tablets.
Current Verizon smartphone customers are not required to switch to these plans. However, if you open a new line or re-new your contract then you must upgrade to these plans. Take note if you don't own a smartphone and want data-less plans, you can get those, too. Those plans aren't covered in this article.
The new plans start at between $50 to $100 (depending on your needs — 1GB shared data starts at $50 a month whereas 10GB shared data starts at $100 per month) with extra charges for each line you want on the plan. For example, if you are a family of four smartphones that wants 2GB of shared data, it costs you $60 (the base charge for the 2GB shared data plan, which comes with unlimited talk and text) plus $40 for each smartphone, so a total of $220 per month for unlimited talk and text for each device plus 2GB of shared data. See the chart below for more info.
For the details on the other plans, check out Verizon Share Everything Plans [3].You can also use the Data Calculator [4] tool provided by Verizon to calculate what you might be charged for sharing data between your devices. Now, how costly do the plans look for you?

Incentives and federal grants are expected to propel the adoption of hybrid commercial vehicles in North America and Europe, according to a study by Frost & Sullivan. Better fuel efficiency, lower emissions and fewer maintenance costs are also all highly desirable features, especially in sprawling mega cities and increasingly congested urban clusters.
Frost & Sullivan's study, "Strategic Analysis of North American and European Hybrid Truck, Bus and Van Market," finds that the hybrid truck, bus and van market is expected to grow from 4,100 units in 2009 to 222,000 units by 2016. The vehicles covered in this study include: light commercial vehicles, medium commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles and buses.
"Amongst alternative powertrain technologies and fuels, hybrid commercial vehicles exert the least pressure on the existing energy and transportation infrastructure and require only minimal modification to the current fuelling infrastructure," says Frost & Sullivan Global Programme Manager, Sandeep Kar. "This aspect of hybrid commercial vehicles is acting as one of the strongest market drivers in North America and Europe, attracting governments, commercial vehicle manufacturers, and potential consumers alike towards supporting and accepting hybrid commercial vehicles."
In the commercial vehicle industry, the return-on-investment potential is a key determinant for adoption of new technologies. Fuel price volatility, government incentives and low lifecycle costs associated with hybrid trucks are all in favor of hybrid commercial vehicles, according to Frost & Sullivan.
However, hybrid trucks feature energy storage systems, control and power electronics and rotating machines, which are expensive technologies creating considerable cost barriers to potential adopters. Furthermore, storage systems such as batteries must be replaced every four to five years based on the vocational application.
"Currently, the high upfront cost associated with hybrids is countered with federal grants, incentives and tax rebates," explains Kar. "Although such incentives offer relief in the short term, for hybrids to be commercially viable in the long term, the upfront cost difference should reduce considerably."
Private fleets in North America and Europe have emerged as early adopters of hybrid commercial vehicles. However, robust volume growth can be attained through the penetration of for-hire fleets.
"Standardization of key enabling technologies will not only reduce R&D expenses and complexity but also create a foundation for launching aggressive price reduction strategies that are necessary for stoking market growth," concludes Kar.

Fujitsu Amilo USB not auto recognized in Precise 5.7.1
Subject description: Unless it's plugged in before booting up
I have loaded Precise 5.7.1 on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop. USB flash disks are not recognized after booting up the laptop. I had Slacko 5.6 installed previously and the USB flash disks worked fine. If i plug in a USB flash disk before booting up, the flash disk icons appears after booting. If a flash disk is inserted
booting up, it is not recognized. Any ideas??

Good to see some one else In the world has a Fujitsu computer.. One thing i can tell you is they must do there own entire boot system in house. Because it is so so very different... But not in a bad way. Just different. What I will say everything I first considered a issue and a wierd quirk actually is a well planned feature. So first do not panic or think it can't be done, think that they actually have a better idea to streamline the process..

Ok reread your post carerfully and that action is consistent to how security is handled by default.. IE they are mostly known for there production server line.. Not consumer goods normally.. I say normally because they will have at least one product at each form factor that you can buy.. Because people in the know can trust that the level of security is the same in a mixed office format.
Here is the cool part... You may also have everything else built into your laptop that a production server will have... everything... really cool stuff that that you would never be exposed to in a made for consumer product..

You booted from a cold boot once and used the usb as THE system that boot process handed over the security role over too. That detail has now been inprinted in non volatile memory... That usb device is no longer considered an add on or media transfer device... It is a critical operating system device. Do you see the distinction? It does not add critical operating devices while machine is using a different critical operating device to protect the server.. Linux can't see it.. it really does not exist ... yet! no amount of pluging and unplugging in any USB port on that machine with that device will work... until a cold or warm boot. At that stage if two different crical operating devices exist both coded in NVM the last will still be the lead. but the machine will now see both.. and the boot process will take extra long and hexadecimal codes will display in one place on screen to tell you why its delays boot if It can't figure out best safe action it will turn itself off and not boot either.

Try other usb ports. If it doesn't show try>>>>>
Cntrl Alt Backspace >> type xwin..>> and get back onto desktop
see if it shows up
Sometimes it was a Xvesa versus Xorg situation.
You had to reverse your settings.
" It's quite possible that you selected Xorg...
and your drives won't show up.
Sometimes it happens.
Try Xvesa...select the resolution ...1024 x 768.
Now the drives should show up.
Open up 2 Rox file managers as per my previous posts here.
If you indeed tried Xvesa first...
go for Xorg.
Ah! computers. "
" cthisbear, thanks for the tip! I started it up in versa and I can find my files! HUGE sigh! "

I was being a LITTLE sarcastic, but thanks anyway for that.
So it is the BIOS/security layer that is hiding it. Is there no setting in there with which one can override it so that it is detected?
Does a reset of the NVM clear the critical devices? and, if it does, will USB sticks be swappable as long as they are not there at a cold boot and get added again? (I'm guessing not).

Thanks for all the replies!!
All the USB ports worked fine under windows XP. As I mentioned previously with Linux the USB ports do not work after bootup with the exception of slack0 5.6.
When cold booting with the USB stick plugged in, I always see the USB sticks on all the distros which I tried.

I figured it was a hardware centric thing also but was stumped by
"moki said: with the exception of slack0 5.6. "
So I mentioned
I posted that link because the guy wanted automount to stop in his puppy. I was hoping you could compre lines in the text files with what you have
or even better. Copy the relevant files from 5.6 and make a backup of files to replace in 5.7 and insert the 5.6 in their stead.
Weird is usually attributed to hardware weirdness. What works on one guys gear may not work on another.
That Upup precise I posted had some nice bells and whistles and comes with a 3.7 kernel and is non pae.
Just saying.
So I think Ted Dog is on to something here. Being a user himself with the same laptop.

Alice Goodwin Uncovered!
There's not much that hasn't already been said about Alice Goodwin. She's undoubtedly fit, she possesses an epic 32FF chest and she was quite rightly crowned the Hottest Body Of 2011 earlier this year. By you.
So then, what more could there possibly be to the Stoke stunner? Surely we know everything we need to know, right? Wrong. We delved beneath that stunning exterior and discovered that the girl, who once harboured aspirations of being a teacher, is extremely well-educated on one particular topic: nookie. And she isn't shy about letting us in on her very best sex tips and secrets...
Alice Goodwin Uncovered - her raunchiest ever shoot!
Alice, it's your most revealing shoot ever. How does it feel?
Great! I'm pretty sure the ZOO readers have seen every little part of me now. Well, maybe not every part. You'd have to be extra special to see that.
What would it take?
Take me on a few dates first. And be yourself, rather than use some ridiculous chat-up line. If I don't like you, I don't like you, but don't pretend to be someone you're not. Oh, and I don't do one-night stands.

Euphorbia Toxicity.
I knew euphorbias are toxic in general, but I decided to search out how bad some of them really are. I was looking around and found this great website! Not only does it give descriptions of the toxicity and effects of the many species, but provides a ton of real-life accounts of encounters with the latex. I have yet to read it all! Enjoy!
That's a really great site. But now im wondering if my recent acquisition of e.graniticola is anything like e.grantii? Doubt it but I dont see the graniticola on their list.
I have had a e.trigona for a couple of years and knew it could be irritating but I have been lucky enough to not have experienced that yet and hopefully never do!
Thanks for the link!
Your welcome!
Yeah, I didn't see a species in the list myself: E. obesa. I suppose that's nice, because it is such an aesthetic and, at maturity, lucrative plant.
I never imagined so many euphorbias were so poisonous! A lot do have a rather ominous look, though, with their black round spines and gnarly appearance.
I actually was not impressed by this somewhat useless list of statements of toxicity without any factual data. And to me, it is more of a testament of how relatively weak Euphorbia toxins are- most comments are about ocular damage (no surprise there- how many people have had ocular damage from a yucca or cactus?) or dermatitis. Actual numbers of deaths from Euphorbias are extremely rare... compare this with deaths from truly toxic plants like Caster Bean, Poison Hemlock or Oleander. I have treated pets for toxic reactions to plants and have yet to see more than a mild amount of vomiting from a Euphorbia.. but seen a lot of dogs die from cycad poisoning, and a few from other random toxic plants. Euphorbiaceae is a humongous family of plants with literally thousands of species... it has some of the most commonly kept plants in cultivation...all are toxic... and yet cases of serious poisoning (other than the eye and skin problems) are almost unheard of. There are far more dangerous and toxic plants in the world and even in our back yards. I think the whole Euphorbia toxicity thing is way overexaggerated.
For years there was a Euphorbia ingens with a bite mark out of it, right at the front door. My husband came home after partaking in a quantity of fermented Agave and bit it. Beautiful teeth pattern . His lips never did any blistering and was not worse for wear, BUT but his breath was horrid, his head pounded and he never got out of bed the next morning. I think that was the Agave juice's fault. YUCK. He bit the neighborhood dog for barking that night and pulled the porch off the house and tossed it in the neighbors yard . Down hill, small porch. Stabbed the old vintage refrigerator.kicked the old ceramic space heater and a few other things..... Bad night good story to tell the kids. That was a LONG time ago.
I quite agree there are far more dangerous plants out there(and not so far away as we think!). That's also true that animals can be less affected by certain plant toxins than humans. I often see warning labels on Madagascar Palms, and other poisonous plants at stores, often for the sake of pets and for humans. Any poisoning from anything is sure to be a nasty experience, but I'd personally prefer taking stinging nettle, poison ivy, or oak over caustic latex!
On another note, being a catfish enthusiast, I hear people say cats can sting you, but those are really just odontodes. There are some, however, that can deliver! I've seen Arius species in pet stores, and those have venom in their dorsal spines. I've read the pain and wounding can be just as bad as, if not worse than, a stingray's. Being saltwater cats, you get a lot of encounters with these in marine fishing, particularly off shallow water. I was considering getting one for my aquarium, but since they only do well in brackish or saltwater, have venom, and, like most cats, are challenging to safely handle w/o geting stabbed, I passed! But they can grow to over a foot and the dorsal spine a couple inches long. Take a look at some catfish bones, particularly Platydoras armatulus! Not unlike a nice steak knife!
First, let it be known that the most important thing to come out of this thread is that, clearly, the agave is the most dangerous plant in natural history ;)
Second, though, the caster bean plant actually IS in the Euphorbia family, and its omission is odd considering it's up there with rosary peas and oleanders in terms of toxicity, and is probably the single most toxic plant in the entire family.
(All things considered, I think that most plant saps would have the potential to be an eye irritant).
"Any poisoning from anything is sure to be a nasty experience, but I'd personally prefer taking stinging nettle, poison ivy, or oak over caustic latex!"
Question for people who've had reactions to both poison ivy and euphorbia latex: Which is worse?
I have had poison Oak (no poison ivy this side of the country) several times.. once pretty bad... I was hospitalized briefly since my face was so swollen and oozing I literally could not function.. I was in misery for a week. Had to have steroids and antibiotic creams and I could not stop itching... it was beyond horrible.
I have had Euphorbia sap on me no less than a couple hundred times, sometimes in very large quantities (such as after trimming a large Euphorbia ingens), and though the few times I got it in my eye were no fun, it only bothered me a few hours. Sap feels like a sun burn, but it goes away fast, too. Sap in my hair is probably the worst as it sometimes requires cutting ones hair to remove it (never a good look)- nearly impossible to wash out. And sap on clothing leaves a permanent mark, too... also gums up my tools badly, but that at least can be cleaned off.
I will take Euphorbias over poison oak anytime!
I would also much rather eat a Euphorbia than any other a couple dozen other much more toxic plants out there. At least there is an excellent chance I won't die... just puke a lot. I can't imagine eating much of anything toxic is much fun... though I have heard the deadly amanita mushrooms actually taste rather good... but kill you faster than just about any toxic plant there is (guess mushrooms technically are not plants... but they LOOK like plants).
I guess everyone has different tolerances to Euphorbia latex. As much as I respect what the good doctor has to say regarding Euphorbia toxicity, I can only go by my own personal experience.
More than three years ago, after getting a drop or two of latex from the weed, Euphorbia cyparissias on my fingers, I was basically bedridden for 3 days, 3 days of hell, one eye completely swollen shut, one almost so, lips swollen, water filled itchy blisters over a good deal of my body which left me unable to rest or to sleep, and it was several more before I recovered fully...
Poison ivy is fun compared to what I went through with that Euphorbia latex.
Pictures speak a thousand words.
Man, every time I see that pic (3x now) I feel empathy for you, but I do like the rockin' tropical shirt. The worst I've had has been some appendage burns. I was very fortunate to be lucky / skillful / wearing PPE when pruning my friend's 25-30' tall E. ingens.
And you deserve a medal for that - some sort of succulent recognition for your service to the textbook-example instance of what can happen when you mess with Euphorbia Jones.
Bonjour, mon ami Jeff. I knew you would remember this one, not easy for me to forget, either! That being said, I still love Euphorbia, and once bitten, won't let a drop of latex touch my skin for a few seconds now. We live and learn.
Lets go old style, and say 15 rounds!
Definitely, everyone comprehends levels of pain differently. No two persons are the same.
That's absolutely right, Chris, that one of the the best ways we can relate to or relay anything is by referring back to our own experiences!
I can only touch the roots in re-potting I have several types and I do not know the names and most are the crested type but I know when I am finished re potting and wash my hands after each plant afterward in about 2 hours just touching the roots and a good clean up my hands feel like they have a plastic coating on them weird I know so I am very careful when they The cactus start acting weird if they do not get repaired fast and healed they are trashed and double sealed because I dont want any animal or another person getting hurt.
I'm just saying trying to judge the toxicity if a substance based off of personal experiences is pointless. There are people that would die if they ate a single peanut yet I can eat a whole jar with no adverse effects, that doesn't mean they are not or are dangerous. When I was a kid I used to get poison ivy so bad I'd have to go to the dr to get prednisone shots, take it orally and use a very strong cortisone cream. Now I just get the typical itchy spots for a week and treat with a Rx.
I'm sure some euphorbia will kill in certian circumstances and cause no effect from the same plant in others. That's all.

The Molecule Cloud - compact visualization of large collections of molecules
- Peter Ertl,
- Bernhard Rohde
- … show all 2 hide
Analysis and visualization of large collections of molecules is one of the most frequent challenges cheminformatics experts in pharmaceutical industry are facing. Various sophisticated methods are available to perform this task, including clustering, dimensionality reduction or scaffold frequency analysis. In any case, however, viewing and analyzing large tables with molecular structures is necessary. We present a new visualization technique, providing basic information about the composition of molecular data sets at a single glance.
A method is presented here allowing visual representation of the most common structural features of chemical databases in a form of a cloud diagram. The frequency of molecules containing particular substructure is indicated by the size of respective structural image. The method is useful to quickly perceive the most prominent structural features present in the data set. This approach was inspired by popular word cloud diagrams that are used to visualize textual information in a compact form. Therefore we call this approach "Molecule Cloud". The method also supports visualization of additional information, for example biological activity of molecules containing this scaffold or the protein target class typical for particular scaffolds, by color coding. Detailed description of the algorithm is provided, allowing easy implementation of the method by any cheminformatics toolkit. The layout algorithm is available as open source Java code.
Visualization of large molecular data sets using the Molecule Cloud approach allows scientists to get information about the composition of molecular databases and their most frequent structural features easily. The method may be used in the areas where analysis of large molecular collections is needed, for example processing of high throughput screening results, virtual screening or compound purchasing. Several example visualizations of large data sets, including PubChem, ChEMBL and ZINC databases using the Molecule Cloud diagrams are provided.

It is often hard to decide whether your child is too ill to go to childcare. In general, children should stay home if illness keeps them from enjoying the usual activities of childcare. Children should also be kept at home if the illness requires more care than providers can give without affecting the health and safety of other children in their care.
The list below follows Ohio's childcare rules from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Your child is too ill to be in childcare if he or she has any of these symptoms:
Your child should not go to childcare if his underarm temperature is above 100°F. He may go back to school when it is below 100°F and he feels well enough to play normally.
A contagious disease is one that spreads by close contact with a person or object. Nearly all illnesses are contagious; however, not all illnesses are a danger to other children and staff in the childcare.
Many illnesses can be spread 24 hours before your child shows signs of illness. For this reason, keeping a child out of childcare may do little to keep other children from getting sick. Germs are everywhere, especially in the childcare setting. Proper hand-washing, as well as cleaning and disinfecting toys and surfaces are still the best ways to stop the spread of illness.
Children are required to stay away from childcare if they have:
*These illnesses must be reported to the local Health Department. Your child's doctor will tell you when he or she may return to childcare.

Elizabeth Town Ky 7' December 1866 Dear Sir I am in recept of your two letters in relation to the letters written to me by A Lincoln just preceding and immediately after his election [1] They were written Confidentally to me But really Contain nothing of importance and as you are his personal friend and writing his life I will under stand and Mason's injunction against thier exposure will enclose the originals? [2] to you & to be returned again to me after you have gathered all you Can from them Altho they Contain nothing of importance yet I regard them highly for the Respect I entertain for the writer. I admired him for his kindness of heart as shown in granting my request in relation to some men who had been betrayed into the rebellion In his cruel Murder the South lost the best friend they had. Had Mr Lincoln lived the South would ere this have been restored and Conciliated, He had the Confidence of the North, and the South were beginning to learn and acknowledge his sense and justice and he could have done for them what President Johnson Could not effect. Mr Lincoln was born in 1809, as you will see by his letter to me. It was the same year I went into the clerks office boy then 14 years old, and his father with whom I was intimately acquainted. leave the County at an early age of his son Abraham I Cannot answer the enquiries of your second letter except that Abraham was a tall spindle of a boy and had his due proportion of harmless mischief After he left Ky I heard and knew nothing of him until I heard he was elected to Congress which was Matter of great surprise His father was a house Carpenter a plain unpretending and scrupulisly an honest man, there is a house two miles from Town with the Original work on it originally done by him, the house he lived in, has since been used for various purposes It was pulled down & rebuilt as a Slaughter [house?] [illegible] and this removal has brought it back within 50 yards of where it originally stood and is now owned by an Irishman named Thomas Callahan & used as a Stables in the various removals some logs were lost or rotten & replaced by others. But I can point out all the original logs Abrahams oldest sister was born [illegible] he removed to a place 11 miles from this Town where Abraham was born & if my recollection is not at fault Thomas Lincoln the father with his family returned to his old house for a time and then left the State, lost his wife and about 1819 returned & married a widow Mrs Sarah Johnson, who I am informed is still living Yours very respectfully Since writing I remember that I cut the name off of one of the letters & sent it to some person not now recollected who wanted his Autograph I also find a memo I kept in these words "Daniel Johnson & Sarah Bush 13 March 1806 / B Ogden / [married?] Thomas Lincoln & Sarah Johnson 2d Dec 1819 [3] Widow lives with her son in law John Hull Effingham Co.

Old Mr. Lincoln, (whose name was generally pronound Linkhorn) made a very short Courtship, He came to see her on 1. Dec 1819 & in a plain Straight forward Manner told her that they knew each other from child hood, that he had no wife & she no husband and that he came all the way to Marry her & if she was willing he wanted it done right off She replied that she Could not right off as She owed Some little debts which she wanted to pay first.

The six women on their Grand Canyon charity trek
Picture: SUBMITTED
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
A charity trek in the grand canyon by a six-strong team of women from north Norfolk has raised about £6,000 for Epilespy Research in memory of a local schoolgirl - twice the original target.
The Arizona adventure was by family and friends of Cromer youngster Ellen Mezzetti, who died from a seizure aged just 16 in 2006.
Mum Lynne was joined by Ellen's aunts Vicki Bumphrey, Maria Baker and Jo Mezzetti along with friends Sharon Jones and Sam Hele.
Mrs Bumphrey said highlights of the "fun but challenging" tour were a 200ft climb down a cliff face at Mooney Falls, leaping into waterfalls, and sleeping under the stars.
The trek took the amount raised in Ellen's memory to £55,000, she added.
