CRA Executive Director is Fluent in Dutch, Which Will Come in Handy in Overtown
Categories: Banana Republican
Commissioner Marc Sarnoff rewards lackey with $220,000 compensation package. |
Bockweg's compensation has angered city employees facing salary and pension benefit cuts who feel the CRA's top man is getting a dramatic pay raise for being Commissioner Marc Sarnoff's toady. Before his new gig, Bockweg was a project manager for the building and zoning department that oversaw development of Miami's controversial mural ordinance, which paved the way for Mark Siffin's skyscraper murals in Sarnoff's district.
Following the city commission's approval of the light-up billboards, Sarnoff orchestrated the ouster of Bockweg's predecessor, James Villacorta, during a late night city commission meeting without providing any notice to the public.
Unlike Villacorta, who was selected after the city conducted a national job search, Bockweg was handed the keys to an $80 million annual budget under the cover of darkness and none of the transperancy Sarnoff promised Miami voters following the arrests of former city commissioners Angel Gonzalez and Michelle Spence-Jones this past November.
Over the weekend, Banana Republican obtained copies of Bockweg's resume to compare it with Villacorta's. When you put their credentials side-by-side, it is very clear that Villacorta is infinitely more qualified than Bockweg to run the CRA.
For starters, Villacorta has a law degree from the University of Miami and an undergraduate degree in construction management from Florida International University. Bockweg holds an international relations undergraduate degree from Rollins College and an M.B.A from the Crummer Graduate School of Business in the grat college town of Winter Park.
Before joining the city as an assistant city attorney in 2000, Villacorta ran his own law firm and spent most of the 80s working as a project manager for Southeast Properties, D.I.C. Commercial Construction Corp. and the Green Cos. Bockweg sold contracts for a defunct Internet start-up in Virginia and ran a tourist newsletter in Miami Beach before he was hired by then-city Manager Joe Arriola to be an assistant for the economic development office.
No wonder city employees are pissed.

However, if the recording is at a apple iphone store loud volume (at a rehearsal or gig, for example) then an external mic should be used to keep the level low maybe with its own preamp (the iPhone doesnt have any gain control for its internal mics). There are a number of ways to do this.
Two good examples are firstly an adapter from kvconnection which allows a microphone or mixer to be added to the phone (this works for the 3G, 3GS, and 4) or if you have an older iPhone, the Alesis Pro Track.
Pro Track can actually be used like a apple iphone store minimixer, with potential for two microphones, panned left and right, with full gain control, to be added to the phone (the Pro Track only works with the 3G and 3GS due to changes in the dock wiring on the iPhone 4, sadly.)
Once a preferred setup for mics has been chosen the next step is choosing the right apps. There's already a huge number of apps available for recording with one of the best being Sonoma's Four Track App a virtual fourtrack recorder for the iphone. Used in connection with the Pro Track, or a mixer, the potential grows from not only recording demos on an iPhone but recording full professional recordings.
A number of acts are already exploring the apple iphone store possibilities of recording commercialquality tunes on an iPhone. For an example, check out 'Love Is The Thing' by The 88 recorded entirely on a 3GS and a Pro Track.
Recording Live Demos on an iPhone
If there isn't enough time to record a full multitracked demo on an iPhone, there's always the option of getting a band in a room and jamming out the songs.
A good technique for this set up is to use a cheap mic mixer to mic up amps and drums, and maybe an output from a practice PA, and get a rough mix fed straight into the phone via the above mic cable adapter. This will give a rough and ready mix that can be set up ibn minutes and used to record rehearsals or demoing sessions.
Recording Live Gigs on an iPhone
Finally, there's the potential to document those basement shows with the iPhone as well. Using either of the above interfaces, it's possible to take a feed from a music venue's mixing desk (usually from a simple headphone output on the desk) to record live gigs. If using the Alesis Pro Track or a mixer, it would even be possible to put the desk feed on one stereo channel and a mic at the back of the room on the other to be later mixed into a full live recording that captures both the line sound from the desk, and the frontofhouse rawness as well.
Lots of fun can be had recording with the apple iphone store iPhone, and through experimentation, searching for apps and hardware, and engaging with other likeminded musicians, the device offers an exciting range of opportunities for quick and innovative recording techniques.

WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 6, 2012—Planning to celebrate the most romantic day of the year with your food-allergic sweetheart? Or is it the pollen, pet or mold allergies that have you worried about asthma symptoms flaring? Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA) offers these Cupid-studded tips.
A Romantic's Cheat Sheet
Dining out: It's one of the busiest nights of the year. Make special dietary requests at the time of your reservation. A discreet note passed to the waiter when you arrive can remind kitchen staff and servers to be watchful of your sweetheart's special dish.
Dining in: Be as adventurous as you dare with flavors and cuisine, but read ALL food labels when included and stay away from known allergens.
Pucker up: Only if you've observed the same dietary cautions as your sweetie! If you've goofed and eaten foods your sweetheart's allergic to, all is not lost. Brush your teeth and tongue, wash your face and hands and, by all mean, fess up!
Fuming fragrance: Perfumes evoke the senses, but can also provoke gasping and shortness of breath. Best to leave this one off the gift list unless it's already passed the sniff test.
Floral congestion: A dozen red roses is usually safe, since there's no pollen to snort up the nose by accident. Less traditional, a heart shaped wreath of pollen-free succulents is sure to please.
Snuggle bunnies: Clean up the bedroom. Do the laundry and put it away. Light candles if you like, but be sure they're unscented. A sprinkled path of rose petals will be sexier on a floor that's vacuumed, mopped (use a 50/50 vinegar and water solution) and free of dog or cat hair and dander. Use dust-mite-proof encasings on your mattress and pillows. Only the nose will notice!
Smoke-free: Nothing says "I love you" more than a commitment to stop smoking. Doesn't cost a penny, either!
Petting with permission: Who doesn't love a cuddly puppy, kitty, bunny or other pet — unless it comes with the prospect of daily medications, headaches, sneezing, rashes and/or shortness of breath for someone in the family! Check first or you'll pay later.
Play detective: This is one gift that won't be forgotten! Google "AANMA Indoor AIRepair Kit" for a free, room-by-room guide to where indoor allergens and irritants hide. If you find something you can fix — like mold growing behind the toilet tank or the bathroom exhaust fan that hasn't worked for years — do it!
Be Prepared: Know the signs of an escalating asthma attack and anaphylaxis and take action at the first sign of symptoms. Before leaving home, make sure asthma and anaphylaxis medications travel with you. Everywhere. Every day. Learn and know how to use devices in case your loved one can't.
It's easy to say "I love you," especially when your sweetie has allergies or asthma! For more tips, join AANMA, a national network of families with allergies and asthma that hasn't forgotten how to have fun! Call 800-878-4403.

Swimmer's Itch Prevention
By Harvey D. Blankespoor, Ph.D.
50 years of Research
My first association with swimmer's itch came in 1965 at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, located in northwest Iowa on Lake Okoboji. As a graduate student, I became interested in the host-parasite relationships of the avian schistosomes that cause a dermatitis in many people who enter the water, especially the pristine lakes found in the northern states of our country. From 1972-76, I taught Parasitology and conducted research at the University of Michigan in the Mollusk Division. In 1973, I supervised four student projects that were associated with the host-parasite relationships of avian schistosomes that cause swimmer's itch at their field station that is located just below the Mackinaw Bridge in the Lower Peninsula. I have continued teaching and doing research on swimmer's itch there during even-numbered years until 2010. Also, I taught and conducted research at the Michigan State University field station (Kellogg Biological Station) during the odd-numbered years from 1975-83. During the early 1980's, I worked on a related human disease, Schistosomiasis in the African country of Sudan. Finally, for the past 35 years, I have also been teaching biology and doing research on swimmer's itch at Hope College, Holland, MI.(swimmersitch.org) In all, I have conducted swimmer's itch research for nearly a half century.
What is Swimmer's Itch?
Swimmer's itch is a skin reaction by sensitized people, to a larval stage (cercaria) of a group of flatworms whose adults usually live in the veins associated with the intestine of its vertebrate hosts. The microscopic-sized worms lay eggs that work their way into the lumen of the intestine of the vertebrate host so that they can be passed out with the feces. Upon contact with water and light, a ciliated form (miracidium) hatches and swims in a zigzag pattern hoping to contact a specific species of snail. When it gets closer, there appears to be a chemical attraction emitted from the snail which leads to the miracidium penetrating the snail. The miracidium does not enter just any snail, but members of a single species.
Once in the snail, the miracidium migrates to an internal organ, changes to form a network of tubes (sporocysts) that begin reproducing at an incredible rate. About a month later, the end products (cercariae) are released daily, usually early in the morning, stimulated by light. The number of cercariae released each day can be up to several thousand. These forms, living for nearly 24 hours, are dispersed by wind and wave action. This process is repeated daily for each snail from the late spring to early fall. Size of snail, age of the infection and water temperature are important factors in determining how many cercariae are released each day. If the cercariae come in contact with a person, they will penetrate the epidermis; however, in people, they do not have the proper enzymes to proceed further, so they die. In birds, they continue to enter their natural hosts and develop into adult worms.
In sensitized people, the cercaria enters the epidermis and dies. Immediately, a small, red area forms. Within 30 hours, this area of the skin becomes much larger in diameter and then becomes reddened and raised. It is now called a papule that will itch intensely for up to two weeks. There is often a reduced reaction when someone is exposed for the first time. Subsequent exposures usually cause a more severe reaction and children and adults with fair complexions, are usually affected the most.
Attempts at Prevention
During the past decades, there have been many attempts to prevent or to reduce the prevalence of swimmer's itch. Initially, many lake associations applied toxic chemicals (e.g. copper sulfate) to kill the snails, thereby breaking the life cycle. This method of control continues to the present time, but is seldom used now because it is often not effective, it is extremely toxic, it never leaves the lake, and its cost has escalated dramatically because of the price of copper.
A second method, used primarily in Canada, involved the removal of the snail intermediate hosts, usually manually. Because snails migrate, have a high reproductive rate and wind and wave action can disperse the cercariae to areas where snails are not found, this method is too labor intensive and ineffective, so it is not widely used.
A third method of reducing swimmer's itch was initiated in my laboratory. After nearly 40 years of field and laboratory research, we determined that the common merganser is the bird host responsible for carrying the the schistosomes that cause more than 90% of the swimmer's itch in North America. Based on these data and nearly two decades of research, we have learned to trap every merganser brood from a given lake. Trapped female common mergansers and their broods are transplanted to lakes where the birds survive and develop but where there are no snail intermediate hosts present.These areas were usually protected bays on Lake Michigan or Lake Huron where the transplanted broods would continue to survive and develop to adulthood. Until 2010, this was the method of choice because is did reduce swimmer's itch dramatically on those lakes. However, federal and state permits are required. The Michigan DNR is not willing to issue depredation permits to individual lake associations for swimmer's itch control. Also, some riparians, especially those who do not go into the water, do not want mergansers removed from their lake because they feel common mergansers are, and always have been, an important component of the lake.
A final method of control has recently been introduced by a few lake associations. They organize bird hunting groups to shoot every duck on the lake during the opening weekend of the duck season. Unfortunately, hundreds of ducks are killed, including those species that are not carriers of the parasites that cause swimmer's itch. Ducks form an important part of the ecosystem of those lakes. In addition, there is no guarantee that common mergansers will not return to that specific lake and have broods there the next summer.
Prevention Myths
During the past half century, many myths have resulted from attempts to reduce the adverse effects of swimmer's itch. Unfortunately, these myths continue to be perpetuated on line, on signs posted at the beaches, and by lake association newsletters. The most common one is advising swimmers to "towel off" and or shower immediately after leaving the water. This advice was introduced decades ago when a few unimportant species were thought to cause swimmer's itch. Today the great majority of cases of swimmer's itch is caused by cercariae that penetrate the skin while a person is in the water. In fact, people have regularly told me that they feel a "pricking" sensation when the cercariae penetrate. Once that happens, it is too late.
Another suggestion for reducing swimmer's itch is for swimmers to go to deeper water, away from infected snails. Although this may help in a few situations, many people have told me that they get swimmer's itch even in deep water. It is likely that there are fewer cercariae in deeper water but water currents, wave action and off shore winds may distribute cercariae to other regions irrespective of where the cercariae originated. Furthermore, there is evidence that infected snails may go down to depth of at least 10 meters.
Ideal Method of Prevention
Given all the previously mentioned ineffective methods and myths of swimmer's itch prevention, the ideal method would be a safe, 100% effective, water resistant, and inexpensive cream that would be applied to all areas of skin exposed to water. Applied properly and before entering the water, the water resistant cream would prevent the penetration of the cercariae while the person is in the water. It is surprising that such a cream had not been developed during all my years of teaching and studying swimmer's itch until 2010. The cream is called Swimmer's Itch Guard. During the summer of 2010, at the University of Michigan Biological Station, my students and I tested Swimmer's Itch Guard by applying it to one of each of our legs. We used the other leg (with no Guard) as a control. Based on six trials, nobody got swimmer's itch (not even one papule) on the leg that had the Guard. Several students got papules on the legs that had no Guard. For more information on this promising product, see swimmersitchguard.com.
For lake property owners with children and grandchildren, and for people using public beaches, swimmer's itch is a serious problem. It not only ruins family fun time in the water but it causes one of the most miserable of all "itches". Children of all ages are especially affected since they cannot stop scratching, even while they sleep. I hope I have given the reader a better understanding of swimmer's itch and some hope of preventing it so that all may enjoy being in the water.

Crowder College's Webb City campus is expanding. 22,000 square feet is being added to accommodate the booming student population. Joplin Industrial Electric donated $15,000 towards the expansion that'll pay for a conference room. The company's owner, Jeff Cartright tells News Talk KZRG why they chose to help Crowder.
"I looked at tuition prices compared to some of the other area schools, and some of the kids can't afford that. Crowder's got a lot of grants so I thought this would be the best place for our money."
Joplin Industrial Electric weren't the only ones feeling generous today. Cardinal Scale Manufacturing also wrote a check today for $40,000 for the expansion. The money will be put to good use funding a computer lab. President David Perry says giving to the school will only benefit him and other companies in the future.
" We use a lot of computers down at the plant and we have a lot of software engineers, so this will fit into our hiring practice. It'll be really important for us in the future to have these young people come up, and be well educated."
The new addition will also include a 9,000 square foot safe room, and nine classrooms.

iOS Stack the States Lite 2.2 Mobile
Customer Reviews Free, that means you pay nothing, get it??For all those lowering this game`s rating with your banter about it being limited, not a full game, not really "free" (whatever you mean by that...), etc: Cut it out! Seriously. How selfish are you? Why the sense of entitlement? This developer doesn`t owe you anything. They offer a limited version so you can try it out before you spend $1 on the full version. If $1 is too much for you, maybe you shouldn`t own Apple products... Or maybe you should find another free game, there are plenty to choose from. The people who complain about this game being "limited" are the same people who purchase the full version without trying it out, and then complain that it`s not what they were looking for. Seriously, if you purchase and installed a game without knowing what it is, that`s your own stupid fault. There`s petty much something for everyone here, why did you download it in the first place?? Get a life, and stop picking on developers. They have to pay good money to get these titles up here, and spend lots of time developing them. They don`t owe you anything. Period. GreatHow games should be made. Fun while you learn something. Way better for the kids to play than a mindless game. Great gameI don`t hate to learn this way jajajajajaj Related - Education - Stack the States Lite 2.2 More in Education - for Stack the States Lite iPhone

POSTED: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - 10:34am
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 3:20am
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama, who won political support and has sought advice from investment guru Warren Buffett, may now feel even closer to the world's second richest man.
According to their family trees, the two men who at times shared the stage together during the 2008 presidential campaign are seventh cousins three times removed.
Genealogists at ancestry.com announced on Tuesday that Obama and Buffett are related through a 17th century Frenchman named Mareen Duvall.
According to the online genealogists, Duvall — who immigrated to Maryland from France in the 1650s — is Obama's 9th great grandfather and Buffett's 6th great grandfather.
The discovery was made by accident when the same team of genealogists who had researched Obama's family tree went on to investigate details about Buffett's relatives.
"We recognized the name Duvall and it made us wonder if this was a connection," said Anastasia Tyler, the lead researcher on the project. "So we started focusing on Duvall."
"We're always looking for a way to show how interesting family history is. Like this, when you start finding similarities in family trees," Tyler said in an interview. "The tree leads you in directions you don't expect."
The family tree shows Obama related to Duvall through his mother Stanley Ann Dunham while Buffett is linked to Duvall through his father Howard Buffett.
Tyler called Duvall's life a "rags-to-riches" story. He arrived in America as an indentured servant but by 1659 he had bought property in Maryland and became a planter and merchant and was considered a "country gentleman."
"It's quite an achievement," Tyler said of Duvall's rise in society. "You can see similarities to him in both (Obama's and Buffett's) lives."
During the presidential campaign, Lynne Cheney said she found while tracing her family roots that her husband, then Vice President Dick Cheney, was a distant cousin of Obama's.
Obama has also been found to have had German roots through his sixth great grandfather, and a connection to Ireland through his third great grandfather.

How Can I Learn About Investment Banking? (Economics, Finance, Banking
?I'm a high school student trying to figure out what I want to do when I graduate, and like most other high schoolers I want to do something with a high salary. My dads a doctor and my moms a teacher, and I can't picture myself being a doctor and teachers don't make that much.
So I looked into investment banking, but I literally know NOTHING about stocks, economic, finance, banking, etc. I don't even understand why the economy is bad, I just know is has something to do with U.S. stocks =\. So how should I go about learning all this stuff?
I think a great entry point
IBI think a great entry point for you to get a basic grasp is to read "The Ascent of Money" by Niall Ferguson. In the book, he traces the evolution of essential elements of our financial system. He also goes into some of the causes of the 2007-08 Financial Crisis.
It's also pretty entertaining.
Read books like Monkey
AMRead books like Monkey Business, Liar's Poker, The Accidental Investment Banker. If you think banking/finance is an interesting thing to do after reading those then come back and ask for more technical stuff.

At your age be open to doing what you are interested in and hopefully what you do love can make you money.
Start becoming advanced at Excel so that when you hit college, it becomes second nature. Honestly, when I was in high school, I didn't even know what IB was, let alone the time value of money. All I cared about was getting into college near a beach... you are already far ahead of many people.

I read in Sunday's editorial that Bluffton Today is trying to push bloggers to a different political blog, bluffton.activote.com.
I thought that was what this blog was for. I don't understand Bluffton Today pushing its bloggers away to a regional site. The third blog on the activote site Sunday afternoon was for some county official in what I assume was Apalachee , Florida .
Bluffton Today has lost its way.

Pujara, Tiwary strike fifties in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Royal Challengers Bangalore batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Saurabh Tiwary struck fifties in their Vijay Hazare Trophy appearances leading their respective sides this past week.
Cheteshwar Pujara made 80 of his side Saurashtra's total of 173 against arch rivals Gujarat in their clash at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Pujara alone stood tall for his side, his 80 coming off 126 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes with support from Chirag Jani (42) at the other end. Post Jani's dismissal, Pujara ran out of partners and was the last wicket to fall.
Gujarat chased down the total with ease, posting 175/6 in 39.3 overs to win the West Zone match by 4 wickets.
In the East Zone clash between the Saurabh Tiwary led Jharkhand and Orissa played at the Jadavpur University Complex in Kolkata, Tiwary steered his side towards a competitive total of 254 with his innings of 57.
Tiwary's 57 came off 73 balls with 7 fours as he consolidated the innings first with Subroto Ghosh (48) and then with Kumar Deobrat (72), helping Jharkhand post 254/6. Orissa chased down the total with comparative ease, reaching 255/5 in 42.3 overs for a 5 wicket win.
A third RCB player, newcomer Harshal Patel ended on the winning side when his team Haryana defeated Jammu and Kashmir by 22 runs in their North Zone clash at the Palam A Ground in New Delhi.
Patel made 14 off 20 balls with a six to help Haryana reach 198 but bowled just one over, conceding 7 runs in their successful defence of the meager total.

This research proves that unemployment is a public health issue.

Media sector weakens
PUBLISHED: 14 Nov 2012 00:05:29 | UPDATED: 14 Nov 2012 04:23:46PUBLISHED: 14 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 14 Nov 2012Mercedes Ruehl
Goldman Sachs says the latest radio ad market data shows continuing weakness for the Australian media sector. The national radio ad market data for October fell 3.2 per cent, according to data released by Commercial Radio Australia. For the four months to October, ad revenues have fallen 3.5 per cent. Combined with the 7.5 per cent drop in ad revenues in September and continued poor business confidence, Goldman has downgraded its ad market forecasts for the first half of 2013 to a fall of 1 per cent. But it has not changed its rating on radio-exposed media stocks such as Fairfax Media and APN News & Media.

Gratuitous Window Dressing, Part 3
Let me first begin with this brief non-paid, non-political statement. Ahem...I was the victim of an outdated style guide! Thanks to everyone who helpfully pointed out that it is X window and not X-Windows. I appreciate that you took the time to write and try to save me some embarrassment. As it turns out, I already knew this, but my last two columns were corrected according to a somewhat flawed editorial style guide. Last I heard, the Linux Journal staff were holding a bonfire and roasting marshmallows on said guide. [Sorry about that Marcel.--Ed.]
But we were talking about not getting enough (X, that is), so let me get back to this. In order to explore this state of more, you will need to be able to log in and out of X fairly readily. If you use a login manager like xdm, gdm or kdm, you might want to start your desktop with startx instead. Then, when you leave X, you return to a text console and a command prompt. On my Red Hat system, I can decide to use the graphical login manager (or not) based on this entry in my /etc/inittab file.
# Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
Once I comment out the last line and save my changes, I am almost ready. Assuming you are using a graphical login, you could, at this time, reboot your system and the new changes would take effect. You would boot up into a beautiful, text-only console screen. Ah, simplicity. I could also tell you that in order for the changes to take effect, you could just get init to re-read the /etc/inittab file. You do that like this (but don't do it yet).
init q
If you happen to be running a Debian system, (or Storm or Corel), your graphical login manager may be started from one of the rc files. Those are the ones you find under /etc/init.d. In that case, you can terminate the login manager in this manner. Be careful though--if you do it while you are in the session, then your graphical manager session will terminate, X will close and you may lose any work you had open. All that to say you should now save your work, close any applications you had running and log out of the desktop.
/etc/init.d/kdm stop
This brings up another problem. How do you get to a shell prompt to run init q without being logged into your desktop?
You can, without affecting your current X window session, jump out of that session by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1. Function key 1 could just as easily be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. If you started X from the command line with X, you'll probably see the dialog for the session when you click on Ctrl-Alt-F1. The F2, F3 (and so on) versions should provide you with a text-based login screen. By the way, in case you did not already know this, you can switch from any of these "virtual" terminals (VTs) to another simply by typing Alt-F# (where "#" is the number). To get back to your X window session, you click Ctrl-Alt-F7. Go ahead and try it. Flip back and forth. When you are feeling comfy with this, head on back to a text screen (Ctrl-Alt-F1).
Now that you have a text screen, we'll move on to some fun things. By the way, if you were among those running X from the graphical login manager, now is the time to cancel it, either with init q or through the appropriate rc script. All right. Back to those virtual terminals. So, function keys 1 through 6 represent your virtual terminal numbers while function key 7 is your first X session. What about 8, 9, and 10?
Well, let's try something fun.
The reason our first X terminal is usually at six is because virtual terminals one through six are spoken for in our default /etc/inittab file. Here's the relevant section from my /etc/inittab:
# Run gettys in standard runlevels 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
What do you think would be affected if you were to log in as root, take your favorite editor (vi, Emacs, pico, nano) and comment out the last line? Give it a try. Like the previous change to the inittab, you still need to get init to re-read the /etc/inittab file.
Now, switch to virtual terminal number six. Suddenly, this is no longer a usable terminal. There is no login prompt. Cool? Well, maybe not, but try this now. Start your X session with this simple command. You might just remember this from the last column:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
This gives you a really boring, plain X screen with a single X terminal up in the top left hand corner. You have no way to move it and nothing to be done. Today, we're going to use it to demonstrate something. While you are in that screen, flip back over to your first virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1). Great. Now, from the text console, go back into your X session by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F7. Was something wrong? Try Ctrl-Alt-F6 instead. Aha!
What happened here is that startx (or xinit) in this case started X on the first available free VT which is now number six (because we turned off the getty on VT 6. Here comes cool trick number two. Leave your boring X session running, and go back to the text console. Now, so that we don't confuse one boring xterm session with another, type this command:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xcalc -- :1
If you switch back to your text console now, you'll notice some interesting things if you try to revisit your X session. Ctrl-Alt-F6 (assuming you still have VT 6 commented out of the inittab) will take you to your xterm. To get to your xcalc session, type Ctrl-Alt-F7. Since you can't type exit at the command prompt of xterm, you need to use the X window escape hatch to close that session. The "oh, my God, I've tried everything and I can't get out of X" escape clause is this -- Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
Here's something else that you might find interesting. You can also define which virtual terminal you want X to start on. Say that ten is your lucky number and you like your X session to start on VT 10.
startx -- :1 vt10
I said that I would get back to some of these ".X" files, and this time around I want to talk about your .Xresources file. By now, you may have already started to get the idea that your desktop is an amazingly configurable environment. While the window manager does some things, you can exert further control still. For instance: If I start an xterm session, I get a nice flashing blue cursor. Let's say I wanted that cursor to be red or blue. I would change that either by creating or modifying my .Xresources file.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the file structure, you should know that you already have a global file that handles all of this for you. Actually, you have several. Change directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, and you will find a number of files that pre-define some of the standard X applications. In your home directory, you may also find a .Xdefaults file that does more or less the same thing. Mine has some defaults set up for several applications including Emacs, rxvt and xterm.
Back to my xterm. What changes do I need to make? Well, if I check out the man page for xterm with man xterm and look for the X resources, I find that cursorColor is the attribute that affects the color of the cursor. If I exit my .Xdefaults or .Xresources file and add those changes, I get this. Oh, and I've changed my mind. I would rather have my cursor as a hard-to-read wheat color:
XTerm*cursorColor: Wheat
Notice that I preface the resource with XTerm* to tell my X resource file what this resource belongs to (or affects). Since I want these changes to take place without logging out of my X session and logging back in, I need to have the system re-read my configuration and incorporate the changes. This is how I do it:
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
xrdb, by the way, is the X resource database utility. This program usually gets run somewhere along the way when you start an X session. On my system, it is called by /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If I had created a .Xresources file instead, then my command would have been as follows:
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
I start a new xterm and behold, the cursor is a wheat color. Let's try a more interesting example. For instance, when I start Netscape, I get a menubar with the word "Help" over on the right. I also get the word "Location" beside my URL address bar. Let's just say, for fun, that when I need help, it's more like an S.O.S. than a simple request for help. I'd like my browser to say S.O.S. for help and URL for my location bar. This is how I tackle this one. At the end of my .Xdefaults or .Xresources file, I add the following lines.
Netscape*menuBar.helpMenu.labelString: S.O.S. Netscape*urlLocationLabel.uneditedLabelString: URL:
Before we continue, we need to re-run xrdb to merge those resources. Now, if I close my browser and restart it, I get things displayed the way I want them to be. By the way, I found the X resource or Netscape in the accompanying documentation distributed with the browser. On my machine, (and with Netscape 4.75) this documentation lives at /usr/doc/netscape-common-4.75/Netscape.ad .
Whoa! I've been going on for far too long. It's extremely easy to get caught up in all of this. The X Window System is so incredibly flexible that playing around with it can be quite addictive. Until next time, take care everyone, and remember that a little gratuitous window dressing never hurt anyone. X needs no warning labels.

Thank you!
interesting article, and interestingly written. I learned several things and thank you for that!
Your article makes me think that you might be able to shed your light into one of the dark corners of a mystery, were you willing, and if you had time to reply..
I am running Suse 10,and I boot into runlevel 3 and use startx to start Xwindows. Before I go to Xwindows (and after I come back out) I can use Ctl-Alt-(F1-F7) and switch between consoles. During my X session, I cannot change to a text console. Using xev I think that the key presses are correctly detected. I added a command in my xorg.conf file: DontVTSwitch False. But that didn't affect anything. VT and text consoles may not be the same thing, I have learned just today.
Have you any light fort this dark corner? Or can you point me to a place to learn more?
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.

Site protection
The EU Birds and Habitats Directives are an invaluable tool for protecting Europe's most important sites for nature, together with stakeholders. Despite this, SPAs (Special Protection Areas - Natura 2000 sites designated under the Birds Directives) frequently come under threat, or are even destroyed, by harmful development or land use changes. In many cases this happens when authorities and developers do not follow the appropriate procedures for assessing the impact of their activities, ignore alternative solutions with lesser impact or fail to provide adequate compensation measures for any loss of wildlife and habitats.
BirdLife Partners and the European BirdLife Secretariat in Brussels monitor threats to SPAs. If actions at the national level don't bear the required results, there is always the option of filing a formal complaint to the European Commission, who then has the obligation of assessing each case. If it finds the Member State in question neglecting their obligations under the Birds or Habitats Directives, the Commission can start a legal process that can lead to a Judgement from the European Court of Justice against the Member State. Over the years, BirdLife Europe has successfully launched and followed many such complaints, not only to protect individual sites but also for the lack of designation of SPAs.
Stichting BirdLife Europe gratefully acknowledges financial support from the European Commission. All content and opinions expressed on these pages are solely those of Stichting BirdLife Europe.

Bella & Lily
Featuring a distinct style of their own, indie/pop artists Bella & Lily have a natural flair for creating songs laden with pop hooks, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and clever lyrics.
Bella & Lily, a sister act of Bella and Lily Ibur, has concocted the perfect minicollection of indie pop-rock songs on its debut album, "Count to Ten." …The album is peppered with radio-friendly tunes — in the mode of Vanessa Carlton or Sara Bareilles — such as "What They Don't Know," "Messed Up Avenue" and "Circus."
—Kevin Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch Music Critic
Bella & Lily have the grounded, deep vocals of Ingrid Michaelson, the atmospheric lyrics of Fiona Apple, and the instrumental aptitude of Sara Bareilles, but with a final product that is very much of their own unique making. When Bella and Lily sing together, these sisters show they can harmonize with the best of them….Although "Count To Ten" only has six tracks…it has a depth and variety of sound that makes it sound fuller and more complete.
—Sarah Hayes, Examiner.com Music Critic
Having your music compared to that of Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson and Lisa Loeb isn't so bad. Despite their young ages, sisters Bella and Lily Ibur have become old hands at crafting catchy tunes. After winning a contest to perform at LouFest 2012, the duo received Kickstarter support to release a six-song EP last fall. The resulting poppy songs definitively prove that age is just a number.
—Allison Babka, Riverfront Times Music Critic
Bella and Lily have both shown to have high-quality songwriting skills. As a producer for many years, my assessment is that they are both prolific way beyond their age. For me, it's exciting to help develop young talent. Their work ethic was put to the test and they stayed focused during the pre-production and recording production. They value the principle of not depending on computers for their recordings, but getting things right by performance. For today's computer generation, that's what really stands out for me.
—Henry Hirsch, producer (Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, Mick Jagger)

"Baby Back Ribs" Jingle Singer Dies, Has BBQ-Themed Funeral
Willie McCoy, the legendary singer behind Chili's infamous "Baby Back Ribs" jingle, will be outlived by the legacy of that song for years to come. But apparently his love of BBQ went beyond the iconic tune, and his family decided to celebrate his affinity for the cuisine at McCoy's funeral.
According to the Huffington Post, the singer's funeral was televised on TLC's latest reality show, "Best Funeral Ever." The Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, Texas, (where all episodes take place) took the BBQ theme extremely seriously. Not only did McCoy's pallbearers sing the jingle as they carried out the casket, but they were dressed as chefs and the casket itself was designed to resemble a BBQ Smoker.

The funeral also included a huge prop of fake baby back ribs carried in by dancers, and possibly best of all a barbecue sauce fountain for dipping ribs as a tribute to the late jingle singer. Live pigs were also present, perhaps to bring the ceremony full circle.

While the reality show itself might be questionable, McCoy's life and his song were certainly celebrated to the fullest. There's no question that guests and viewers alike won't forget the BBQ theatrics at his funeral or that iconic tune.
What do you think of McCoy's BBQ-themed funeral?

Kentucky women and men are saying enough to this rise of extreme opposition to rights for reproductive health care.
Reproductive Rights for Kentucky PAC (RRFKY) is a nonpartisan, federal political action committee, whose sole mission is to:
- Raise and funnel much needed financial campaign support to those elected Kentucky federal and state officials who safeguard women's rights,
- Identify and financially support those viable candidates who will fight against anti-contraceptive and anti-abortion legislation as well as any attempt to criminalize or restrict access to abortion, or to curtail access to contraception in all circumstances
Kentucky, and this country, has enough serious problems to solve, and our legislators need to leave women alone.
With the help and donations from our supporters, Reproductive Rights for Kentucky PAC (RRFKY) has financially supported and endorsed 18 Kentucky federal and state candidates who have committed to safeguard reproductive rights. The endorse candidates include:
U.S. Senate Alison Grimes
U.S. House of Representative John Yarmuth
Kentucky State Senate Mike Cope and Siddique Malik
Kentucky State House: Ashley Miller, Mary Lou Marzian, Reginald Meeks, Darryl Owens, Ruth Ann Palumbo, George A. Brown, Jr., and Susan Westrom.
RRFKY urges each of you to support these individuals. Make contributions to their campaigns. Volunteer on their behalf and walk your neighborhoods, make calls or distribute yard signs. Hold a fundraiser for any of these candidates. Most importantly urge your family and friends to vote for these dedicated men and women.
RRFKY is hopeful that ALL elected officials will educate themselves on what choice means. Choice is the ability for men and women to choose what is best for them and their families. That is forgotten by those extremist groups who fervently oppose reproductive rights. And women, despite the outlandish paternalistic actions of those fanatical groups, really are smart enough to consider their options and decide what the best decision is for them and their families.
The women and men of Kentucky do not need governmental inference into their private lives — and only your vote can elect these men and women who will stop this crusade against women's rights.
