Female space shuttle commanders remember Sally Ride (+video)
Two women who became space shuttle commanders after seeing Sally Ride's historic flight in 1983, reflect on the legacy of the first American woman in space.
The news of Sally Ride's death yesterday (July 23) has impacted many around the globe, most especially those who traveled directly in her footsteps.
Sally Ride became the first American woman in space when she flew on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. Since then, dozens of U.S. females have made spaceflights. Two of them, Eileen Collins and Pamela Melroy, achieved another historic milestone, becoming the only women to command a space shuttle mission.
"I knew I wanted to be an astronaut from watching the Apollo astronauts land on the moon, but Sally cemented the belief inside me that I could do it," Melroy wrote in an email to SPACE.com. "She paved the way for women to work in space and made it so much easier for other women to follow where she led."
Collins became the first female space shuttle commander when she led the STS-93 flight of the shuttle Columbia in July 1999, just 16 years after Ride's first flight. Melroy then commanded the space shuttle Discovery in 2007, becoming the last woman to command a shuttle before the fleet retired in 2011. [Sally Ride: 1st American Woman in Space (Pictures)]

Do you know how much energy your datacenter uses?
Google has recently revealed a closely guarded secret: How much electricity its datacenters use. In fact, Google has revealed that their entire operation:
- Generated 1.46 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and consumed a total of 2,259,998 MWh in 2010.
- Continuously uses enough electricity to power as many as 200,000 homes.
- Continuously draws nearly 260 million watts, or roughly a quarter of a nuclear power plant's output, with about 12.5 million watts going to power more than a billion searches a day.
- Drew 25% of its energy from renewable fuels in 2010 and this figure should reach the 30% level this year and 35% next year.
- Uses less than 1% of the total amount of electricity used by datacenters globally, which in turn accounts for 1.3% of total worldwide electricity usage.
It's worth noting that Google had received some flak from environmentalists and Greenpeace in particular – who previously gave the company an "F" for transparency on its Cool IT leaderboard. On the other hand and as the New York Times recently noted, some analysts had speculated that Google did not want to reveal information about electricity usage because it was embarrassing or it might allow competitors to decode just how efficient (and big) the company's datacentre operations are.
Nevertheless, Google's disclosures about electricity usage could put pressure on other IT companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo to reveal just how much electricity their datacentres are using along with the amount of carbon they produce.

You can use CrashPlan to back up storage connected to your computer, such as an external hard drive directly attached via USB, Thunderbolt, or Firewire. By adding the contents of an external drive to your backup file selection, CrashPlan backs it up just like other files on your computer.
Follow these instructions to back up files stored on an external drive to another destination, such as CrashPlan Central or another computer.
Your backed up files are safe when the drive is disconnected as long as your version setting for deleted files is set to Never (the default setting). When you reconnect the drive, CrashPlan resumes backup from where it left off. If you reconnect the drive and CrashPlan doesn't recognize it immediately, it is likely because the drive letter or name changed. See the troubleshooting tips below to correct the issue.
Note: If your external drive isn't connected to your computer when CrashPlan runs the file verification scan, it's possible that your backup status will report 100%, even if there are additional files on the drive that need to be backed up. CrashPlan will detect the changes and adjust your backup status the next time the drive is connected.
When you connect an external drive to a Windows computer, the operating system automatically assigns the next available letter in the alphabet. If the letter changes when you reconnect a drive you've been using for backup, CrashPlan won't recognize the drive. Consequently, we recommend assigning a static drive letter to your external drive.
This issue occurs when the letter or name assigned to the drive by your operating system changes. It typically occurs after a drive is disconnected, then reconnected. CrashPlan uses absolute paths when backing up folders. So if the name of a drive changes, CrashPlan doesn't recognize it and lists the drive as "Missing" or "Destination Unavailable". You can correct the issue by renaming the drive to match the original drive letter or name.
If an external drive that is backing up or serving as a backup destination stops working on a Mac, it is likely because the drive didn't cleanly unmount (e.g., due to a power outage, disconnected without ejecting, etc.). When this happens, the drive can leave behind a "ghost" folder in /Volumes
, even though the drive is no longer mounted. When the drive re-mounts, your Mac sees that the folder name for the drive is taken, so it appends a "1" to the drive name. However, CrashPlan is looking for the folder with the original name, which is no longer valid. Use our troubleshooting guide to diagnose and correct the issue.

Sony America has expressed its confidence that the PlayStation 3 will surpass Microsoft's competing Xbox 360 in terms of overall unit sales over the course of the next decade.
Speaking to the chaps at IGN, SCEA's Peter Dille commented: "I don't think [360 will] be around in 10 years so I'm very confident we'll pass them within that time frame."
"I mean, we've got 31 million [units sold] worldwide right now — they've got 39 million [units sold]. I don't even need to go out 10 years."
Despite this, Dille remained tight lipped in regards to putting an estimation as to when he expects PS3 to take the lead, adding, "I'm not going to make any predictions for your interview today other than we'll pass them, but you look at where we are today and where they are today, and they had an opportunity to sprint as far ahead of us as possible when they had the head start."
"Well, we're breathing down their necks and they can see us in the rearview mirror and it's not going to take too long to pass them."
To be fair, it's looking pretty rosy for Sony at present, with PS3 growth in the U.S. last year topping 20 percent, with the big M only managing a measly 0.74 percent. Watch this space, eh?

This month, CVS Caremark Corp. expects to begin rolling out its Consumer Engagement Engine, which provides real-time clinical messaging to pharmacists.
Retail News Breaks Archives
NEW YORK – This month, CVS Caremark Corp. expects to begin rolling out its Consumer Engagement Engine, which provides real-time clinical messaging to pharmacists.
The deployment comes in the wake of a successful pilot of the technology, CVS Caremark president and chief operating officer Larry Merlo told financial analysts at the Citi Investment Research Food & Drug Retail Conference.
A data integration and intelligence solution, the Consumer Engagement Engine is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the customer. The clinical communications are integrated into normal pharmacy workflow, becoming part of the prescription filling process, Merlo explained. Messages cover adherence, potential gaps in care and possible lower-cost therapies.
The feedback from pharmacists in the pilot "has been terrific," Merlo said at the conference, held last week in New York. "We're very excited to get that out in the market."
The engine, which is already operating in Caremark call centers, pools data from all customer touch points — including retail and specialty pharmacies, mail order, MinuteClinics, CVS and Caremark web sites, telephone pharmacy service, and the ExtraCare loyalty program — to develop a full picture of a person's interaction with the company and his or her prescription purchase and usage behavior, as well as related personal and health care information.
CVS Caremark chairman and chief executive officer Tom Ryan said at the conference that the engine answers the challenge of showing results from a pharmacy initiative. Pharmacy benefit management clients want new clinical programs, but they want to see results, he said.
Tests of the related Pharmacy Advisor program have improved adherence 10% to 15%, Ryan noted. "It's simply because of the face-to-face interaction," he said.
Addressing skepticism over whether the engine can be applied in stores, Ryan said the consultations take a minute or less. "It's quick. It's across 7,000 stores. It's not taking someone in a consulting room and talking to him for 35 minutes."
The engine will allow pharmacists to focus on such disease states as diabetes, asthma and cardiovascular conditions by letting them have information "at their fingertips," he said. "The performance is just dramatic."
Merlo said the clinical messaging lets pharmacists "prioritize what is most important for that particular patient at that point in time."
According to Ryan, the engine presented "a huge opportunity" for retaining current PBM clients and attracting new ones. He also said it could eventually be extended to pharmacies outside CVS Caremark.

This Chardonnay is produced by the three brothers Couillaud at the Château de la Ragotière, a few minutes from the Atlantic near the mouth of the Loire River, where the maritime climate is ideal for producing whites that are refreshing and bright. The Couillauds age most of this wine on its lees until bottling to add weight and texture with around 10% being barrel-fermented in French oak for the faintest touch of toastiness. Saveur magazine wrote about a previous vintage: "This value-priced Chardonnay tastes crisp and bright. It comes from the western Loire Valley, an unexpected place for this Burgundy grape variety, and is made in a fresh, unoaked style, nothing like the famed (and costly) Burgundy crus. Though unconventional, it's delicious, with fruit flavors that echo pears and apples, and an enticing hint of minerality beneath the surface. It's also a steal at the price."

The cassowaries (IPA:/ˈkæsəwərɪ/) are ratites (flightless birds without a keel on their sternum bone) in the genus Casuarius and are native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands, and northeastern Australia.[2] There are three extant species. The most common of these, the southern cassowary, is the third tallest and second heaviest living bird, smaller only than the ostrich and emu.
Cassowaries feed mainly on fruit, although all species are truly omnivorous and will take a range of other plant food including shoots, grass seeds, and fungi in addition to invertebrates and small vertebrates. Cassowaries are very shy, but when provoked they are capable of inflicting injuries, occasionally fatal, to dogs and people.
Cassowaries (from the Malay name kasuari)[3] are part of the ratite group, which also includes the emu, rheas, ostriches, and kiwis, and the extinct moas and elephant birds. Three extant species are recognized, and one extinct:
Most authorities consider the above monotypic, but several subspecies of each have been described (some have even been suggested as separate species, e.g., C. (b) papuanus).[4] Validation of these subspecies has proven difficult due to individual variations, age-related variations, the scarcity of specimens, the stability of specimens (the bright skin of the head and neck—the basis of describing several subspecies—fades in specimens), and the practice of trading live cassowaries for thousands of years, some of which are likely to have escaped or been deliberately introduced to regions away from their origin.[4]
The evolutionary history of cassowaries, as of all ratites, is not well known. A fossil species was reported from Australia, but for reasons of biogeography this assignment is not certain and it might belong to the prehistoric Emuarius, which were cassowary-like primitive emus.
The northern and dwarf cassowaries are not well known. All cassowaries are usually shy birds of the deep forest, adept at disappearing long before a human knows they are there. Even the more accessible southern cassowary of the far north Queensland rain forests is not well understood.
Females are bigger and more brightly coloured. Adult southern cassowaries are 1.5 to 1.8 metres (4.9–5.9 ft) tall, although some females may reach 2 metres (6.6 ft),[5] and weigh 58.5 kilograms (129 lb).[4]
All cassowaries have feathers that consist of a shaft and loose barbules. They do not have retrices (tail feathers) or a preen gland. Cassowaries have small wings with 5-6 large remeges. These are reduced to stiff, keratinous quills, like porcupine quills, with no barbs.[4] A claw is on each second finger.[6] The furcula and coracoid are degenerate, and their palatal bones and sphenoid bones touch each other.[7] These, along with their wedge-shaped body, are thought to be adaptations to ward off vines, thorns, and saw-edged leaves, allowing them to run quickly through the rainforest.[8]
A cassowary's three-toed feet have sharp claws. The second toe, the inner one in the medial position, sports a dagger-like claw that is 125 millimetres (5 in) long.[9] This claw is particularly fearsome since cassowaries sometimes kick humans and animals with their enormously powerful legs. Cassowaries can run at up to 50 km/h (31 mph) through the dense forest. They can jump up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) and they are good swimmers, crossing wide rivers and swimming in the sea.[6]
All three species have horn-like but soft and spongy crests called casques on their heads, up to 18 cm (7 in).[7] These consist of "a keratinous skin over a core of firm, cellular foam-like material".[10] Several purposes for the casques have been proposed. One possibility is that they are secondary sexual characteristics. Other suggestions include that they are used to batter through underbrush, as a weapon for dominance disputes, or as a tool for pushing aside leaf litter during foraging. The latter three are disputed by biologist Andrew Mack, whose personal observation suggests that the casque amplifies deep sounds.[11] However, the earlier article by Crome and Moore says that the birds lower their heads when running "full tilt through the vegetation, brushing saplings aside and occasionally careening into small trees. The casque would help protect the skull from such collisions".[10] Cassowaries live on fallen fruit, and spend a lot of time under trees where seeds the size of golfballs or larger are dropping from heights of up to 30 metres; the wedge-shaped casque may protect the head by deflecting falling fruit[citation needed]. Mack and Jones also speculate the casques play a role in either sound reception or acoustic communication. This is related to their discovery that at least the dwarf cassowary and southern cassowary produce very-low frequency sounds, which may aid in communication in dense rainforest.[11] This "boom" is the lowest known bird call, and is at the lower frequency limit of human hearing.[12] Crowe described a cooling function for the very similar casques of guineafowl.
The average lifespan of wild cassowaries is believed to be about 40 to 50 years.[13]
Cassowaries are native to the humid rainforests of New Guinea and nearby smaller islands, and northeastern Australia.[2] They will, however, venture out into palm scrub, grassland, savanna, and swamp forest.[7] It is unclear if some islands' populations are natural or the result of trade in young birds by natives.
Cassowaries are solitary birds except during courtship, egg-laying, and sometimes around ample food supplies.[7] The male cassowary defends a territory of about 7 square kilometres (1,700 acres) for itself and its mate, while females have overlapping territories of several males.[13] While females move between satellite territories of different males, they appear to remain within the same territories for most of their lives, mating with the same or closely related males over the course of their life span. Courtship and pair bonding rituals begin with the vibratory sounds broadcast by females. Males approach and run with necks parallel to the ground with dramatic movements of the head, which accentuate the frontal neck region. The female approaches drumming slowly. The male will crouch upon the ground and the female will either step on the male's back for a moment before crouching beside him in preparation for copulation or she may attack. This is often the case with the females pursuing the males in ritualistic chasing behaviours that generally culminate in water. The male cassowary dives into water and submerges himself up to his upper neck and head. The female pursues him into the water where he eventually drives her to the shallows where she crouches making ritualistic motions of her head. The two may remain in copulation for extended periods of time. In some cases another male may approach and run the first male off. He will climb onto her to copulate as well. Males are far more tolerant of one another than females, which do not tolerate the presence of other females.
The breeding season starts in May or June. Females lay three to eight large, bright green or pale green-blue eggs in each clutch into a prepared heap of leaf litter.[7] These eggs measure about 9 by 14 centimetres (3.5 by 5.5 in) — only ostrich and emu eggs are larger. The female does not care for the eggs or the chicks but moves on to lay eggs in the nests of several other males. The male incubates the eggs for 50–52 days, removing or adding litter to regulate the temperature, then protects the brown-striped chicks, who stay in the nest for about nine months, defending them fiercely against all potential predators, including humans. The young males then go off to find a territory of their own.[7][13]
Young cassowaries are brown and have buffy stripes. They are often kept as pets in native villages [in New Guinea], where they are permitted to roam like barnyard fowl. Often they are kept until they become nearly grown and someone gets hurt. Mature cassowaries are placed beside native houses in cribs hardly larger than the birds themselves. Garbage and other vegetable food is fed them, and they live for years in such enclosures; for in some areas their plumage is still as valuable as shell money. Caged birds are regularly bereft of their fresh plumes.[8]
Cassowaries are predominantly frugivorous. Besides fruits, their diet includes flowers, fungi, snails, insects, frogs, birds, fish, rats, mice, and carrion. Fruit from at least 26 plant families has been documented in the diet of cassowaries. Fruits from the laurel, podocarp, palm, wild grape, nightshade, and myrtle families are important items in the diet.[7] The cassowary plum takes its name from the bird.
Where trees are dropping fruit, cassowaries will come in and feed, with each bird defending a tree from others for a few days. They move on when the fruit is depleted. Fruit is swallowed whole, even items as large as bananas and apples.
Cassowaries are a keystone species of rain forests because they eat fallen fruit whole and distribute seeds across the jungle floor via excrement.[7]
As for eating the cassowary, it is supposed to be quite tough. Australian administrative officers stationed in New Guinea were advised that it "should be cooked with a stone in the pot: when the stone is ready to eat so is the Cassowary".[14]
Cassowaries feed on the fruit of several hundred rainforest species and usually pass viable seeds in large dense scats. They are known to disperse seeds over distances greater than a kilometre, and thus play an important role in the ecosystem. Germination rates for seeds of the rare Australian rainforest tree Ryparosa were found to be much higher after passing through a cassowary's gut (92% versus 4%).[15]
The southern cassowary is endangered in Queensland, Australia. Kofron and Chapman (2006) assessed the decline of this species. They found that, of the former cassowary habitat, only 20 - 25% remains. They stated that habitat loss and fragmentation is the primary cause of decline.[16] They then studied 140 cases of cassowary mortality and found that motor vehicle strikes accounted for 55% of them, and dog attacks produced another 18%. Remaining causes of death included hunting (5 cases), entanglement in wire (1 case), the removal of cassowaries that attacked humans (4 cases), and natural causes (18 cases), including tuberculosis (4 cases). 14 cases were for unknown reasons.[16]
Hand feeding of cassowaries poses a big threat to their survival, because it lures them into suburban areas. There, the birds are more susceptible to vehicles and dogs.[17] Contact with humans encourages cassowaries to take food from picnic tables. Feral pigs are a huge problem. They destroy nests and eggs but their worst effect is as competitors for food, which could be catastrophic for the cassowaries during lean times.
In February 2011 Cyclone Yasi destroyed a large area of cassowary habitat, endangering 200 of the birds, around 10% of the total Australian population.[18]
Some New Guinea Highlands societies capture cassowary chicks and raise them as semi-tame livestock, for use in ceremonial gift exchanges and as food. [19]
Cassowaries have a reputation in folklore for being dangerous to people and domestic animals. During World War II American and Australian troops stationed in New Guinea were warned to steer clear of them. In his book Living Birds of the World from 1958, ornithologist Ernest Thomas Gilliard wrote:
This assessment of the danger posed by cassowaries has been repeated in print by authors including Gregory S. Paul (1988)[21] and Jared Diamond (1997).[22] Of 221 attacks studied in 2003, 150 were against humans. 75% of these were from cassowaries that had been fed by people. 71% of the time the bird chased or charged the victim. 15% of the time they kicked. Of the attacks, 73% involved the birds expecting or snatching food, 5% involved defending natural food sources, 15% involved defending themselves from attack, 7% involved defending their chicks or eggs. The 150 attacks included only one human death.[23]
The one documented human death was caused by a cassowary on 6 April 1926. 16-year-old Phillip McClean and his brother, aged 13, came across a cassowary on their property and decided to try to kill it by striking it with clubs. The bird kicked the younger boy, who fell and ran away as his older brother struck the bird. The older McClean then tripped and fell to the ground. While he was on the ground the cassowary kicked him in the neck, opening a 1.25 cm (0.49 in) wound which may have severed his jugular vein. The boy died of his injuries shortly afterwards.[24]
Cassowary strikes to the abdomen are among the rarest of all, but there is one case of a dog that was kicked in the belly in 1995. The blow left no puncture, but there was severe bruising. The dog later died from an apparent intestinal rupture.[24]

Softball: Plainfield Central captures first sectional crown
Updated: June 2, 2012 6:25PM
Dominique Roa's third-inning at-bat proved to be the difference in Plainfield Central's 3-1 win over Naperville North on Saturday in the Class 4A East Aurora Sectional final.
The sectional championship is the first in the history of the Plainfield Central program.
Plainfield Central (27-8) will play Moline at 5 p.m. Monday in the Northern Illinois Supersectional in DeKalb.
Roa doubled over the head of Huskies center fielder Caitlyn Warren to give the Wildcats a 2-1 lead in the third. Plainfield Central had tied the game on Cailey Baker's RBI single.
"In my head I was just thinking I just need to hit the ball somewhere in the hole so I can score (Kaleigh Nagle) from second base," Roa said. "I just used my hips to turn on the ball and it went all the way to the fence."
The Wildcats added a run in the fourth on a single by Morgan Vogt, who went 2-for-3. Her double to lead off the third started the two-run rally.
On the mound, Vogt (12-2) was no slouch, either. She went seven innings, surrendering one earned run on seven hits. She fanned three and walked four.
"I have a curveball so I try to throw that and I keep the ball moving as much as possible because I know that if I get it away from the plate, they won't bomb it," Vogt said.
Naperville North (24-13) scored its only run in the first on Tara Degl'Innocenti's RBI single. She also hit into an unusual 5-2-3-2 double play with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Kathleen Hahne (18-10) pitched six innings for the Huskies, allowing three runs on nine hits. She struck out three and did not walk anyone.
Wildcats coach Anne Campbell marveled at the team's historic accomplishment of winning the school's first softball sectional title.
"As far as what it means, to me it just means that these girls have just persevered," she said. "And we've had some ups and downs this year and they believed in themselves the whole time."

Rosario Dawson's New Role Will Break Your Heart
gimme shelterRosario Dawson plays the part of a drug-addicted and abusive mother in her latest film, "Gimme Shelter."
You might not like Rosario Dawson's character in "Gimme Shelter," but you won't be able to look away.
The "Sin City" actress drew upon her own troubled childhood experiences for her latest role as June Bailey, a drug-addicted and abusive mom who turns against her daugher Apple, played by Vanessa Hudgens.
In a recent interview, Rosario opened up about her role, saying, "My mom is a teen mom...I've grown up in a lot of different shelters and things, so it all touches my heart. I grew up with family members who were drug addled...I had no idea, you know, just really the depth of getting into it, and what that was going to do, and how upsetting and raw it was."
Rosario went on to explain how she used her own personal experiences to get into character: "This affects real people. This is something I've personally been affected by; I have family members with heroin and crack addictions...It was a pleasure in a lot of ways—it was really distressing, and it was really hard, and it was a pleasure to really show that type of human being, and that struggle, because I think we can all really relate to it."

Milton Keynes touted as model city for public sector IoT use
The government reduced its spending on ICT systems by £316m in 2011-2012 as it makes good on its promise to cut down on unnecessary expenses, according to a report by the National Audit Office (NAO).
However, the NAO was unable to prove if this was as high as the £348m the government itself claimed it had saved over the same period. Nevertheless, the report noted that the government is also on target to makes a further saving of £200m by March this year.
While the Cabinet Office was praised for overseeing this reduction in spend, the NAO called on those in charge to ensure viable, beneficial systems were put in place too, to reap the full benefits of the digital market.
"It needs to develop a more comprehensive assessment of the impact and effectiveness of its ICT and procurement reform initiatives," said Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office.
"The big challenge will be to move from savings initiatives to achieving digital transformation of the civil service and the public services it provides."
In particular it said that the government must show how it is improving IT delivery, both internally and externally, rather than just where it had cut costs to demonstrate a complete positive impact.
For example, it said it was unclear how successful the move to make it easier for SMBs to sell to government has been and that some suppliers are complaining the government is still to set in its way to consider alternative technologies to those that exist already.
The report from the NAO was welcomed by the Cabinet Office, with a spokesperson saying it would take its report on board as it seeks to further improve its savings and services.
"We are determined to fully open up government ICT to smaller, more innovative companies, and to embrace open source technology," the Cabinet Office representative said.
"As we reform the Civil Service, the government has committed to providing 'digital-by-default' services designed around the needs of the user, as set out in its Digital Strategy and the departmental digital strategies published at the end of last year.
The Cabinet Office added that it expects the first wave of public services to go live in April, which could lead to savings of £1.2bn by 2015.

- Message from Our CEO
Dear Neighbors,
Thank you for visiting our web site. Our web site is another example of how we use technology to touch the lives of others. Please take a moment to explore the many resources available on the web site. In addition to the wealth of information about different medical conditions in our Health Library, you will learn about West Hills Hospital specific services.
At West Hills, advances in technology can be seen through a wide range of minimally invasive surgical procedures currently being performed by West Hills Hospital physicians. These techniques avoid a large incision and as a result, patients experience less postoperative pain, heal faster and return to work and activities of everyday living in a timely fashion.
New technology also plays a key role in our commitment to patient safety. As part of our patient safety initiative, each patient admitted to the hospital now receives a bar-coded wristband designed to help the nursing staff and physicians match medication to each patient's unique needs.
We are your community hospital, familiar to you and your family for more than four decades. Along with that, we have the capability and expertise to perform emergency open heart procedures, care for babies as small as 1 to 2 pounds, perform brain and spine surgery and provide many other services you might think are found only at a university hospital "over the hill."
We are your community resource for better health.
Best wishes,
Douglas Long

Tech Tip: Use History Expansion To Save Time and Typing
Most shells maintain a history of the commands that you've typed and that history can be used to save time and typing. Most of us have probably used the up/down arrow keys already to move through the list of commands that we've already entered, but there are other ways to access the data in the history list.
Let's say you want to install a package (we'll use a Debian/Ubuntu-based system as an example), so you type:
$ apt-get install packagename
But wait a minute, you need 'sudo' to do that! So what do you do? Retype the entire command again? No, use history expansion and type:
$ sudo !!
This will run the entire last command with 'sudo' prepended to it!
Let's take another example, say you want to list a directory's contents before changing into it, so you use ls to see the directory:
$ ls /usr/share/doc
Now, rather than typing the entire path name again as an argument to cd command, you simply type:
$ cd !$
This takes the last argument from the the last command entered and inserts it in the new command (use !* to include all the arguments from the last command).
Most shells provide many more expansion features that can save time and typing, check your shell's documentation for more information. For bash search for "History Expansion" or "Event Designators".
-- Regards, Matthew Cengia
Even $_ works in same way. However not exactly in same way to the one mentioned in this post but somehow it works.
# ls /home/usr/
Now if you want to relist the content of /home/usr directory then you the following:
# ls $_
Always more to learn
Thanks for the information on 'Esc-.'; I hadn't heard about that one, and can't find documentation about it in the Bash manpage!
Shawn did indeed cover (part of) this tech tip in one of his recent videos, so I suppose you could say this serves as a re-cap and elaboration on it (some of which was also mentioned in the comments to Shawn's video) :-).
Matthew Cengia
I use alt-. to cycle last section of previous command. Also; "fc" if I want to edit the entire command and run it again in default editor.
sudo !!
Didn't Shawn Powers just cover this in his tech tips?
Thanks for the tips. Esc-.
Thanks for the tips.
Esc-. will also paste the last command-line argument.
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.

Nokia shows off 'Tube' iPhone-lookalike
The Tube will be Nokia's first touch device, according to a company executive, although there's no time frame attached to its appearance.
The world's largest handset maker is starting to talk about its response to Apple's iPhone, almost 10 months since the iPhone made its debut.
Nokia showed off the Nokia Tube in a presentation slide noticed by Infoworld at a software development conference in California Monday. The Tube, like the iPhone, is a touch-screen phone that can be manipulated using your fingers, and is Nokia's "first touch device," according to Tom Libretto of Forum Nokia.
It's fair to say the iPhone forced just about every handset maker to take a second look at their product development lineup. HTC and LG have shown off their iPhone-lookalikes already, and more will probably start to appear over the rest of the year.
Nokia didn't provide a time frame for the launch of the Tube. Several Web sites have put up a grainy picture of a phone that purports to be the Tube, but I can't figure out who took the original image, so I'm not putting it here until we figure out if it's real, or if proper credit can be assigned. I can, however, show you what all the fuss is about through the magic of hyperlinking.

Alaknanda Amin-Patel
M.S. Student
Expected Year of Graduation: 2012
Research Lab: Dr. Jörg C. Woehl
Major Area of Focus: Analytical Chemistry
Minor Area of Focus: Physical Chemistry
Previously Attended:
Montclair State University, 2005, B.S.
Why I like Chemistry:
Chemistry is the central science and impacts on all facets of our lives. An understanding of chemistry is necessary to all other sciences from astronomy to zoology. All of the materials used by engineers and technologists are made by chemical reactions and we all experience chemical reactions continuously, whether it be breathing or baking a cake, driving a car or listening to a battery driven minidisk player. Chemistry is concerned with all aspects of molecules, their physical and chemical properties, their composition and structure, their synthesis and use in the 21st century. I like chemistry because learning it gives me a fuller understanding of the natural world.
Why I chose the Chemistry and Biochemistry Program at UW-Milwaukee:
I chose UW-Milwaukee because there are two great Analytical Chemistry professors with great research opportunities to choose for research. UW-Milwaukee also has lots of professors in different fields with different types of research. Also, for graduate students there is Teaching Assistance program with health benefits available as well. It's a great school to attend for anyone who likes doing research while grating their M.S. or Ph.D.
Favorite things to do in Milwaukee:
My favorite thing to do is go to Nachsitzenzu after seminars on Friday in Union.
Research Goals:
My goal is to graduate with a M.S. degree with one or two publications and try to learn as much as I can about florescent microscopy.

Istanbul see + do
For visitors to Istanbul, the question is not what one should see in the city, but what one can afford to skip until the next visit. Those on a one- or two-day itinerary should plan for immediate immersion in the historical district, from the majestic palaces and mosques of Sultanahmet to the exotic Oriental alleys of the Grand Bazaar, squeezing in an hour-long hammam treatment to unwind.
Culture fiends who want to go slightly off the beaten path usually head to the quieter Süleymaniye Mosque, the farther-flung Kariye Museum, or the superb Dolmabahçe Palace on the banks of the Bosphorus near Beşiktaş.
For those with a little more time on their hands, İstiklal Caddesithe main pedestrian drag through Beyoğluand its surrounding neighborhoods of Galata, Tünel, and Çukurcuma are ideal for day and night-time wanderings, while art buffs shouldn't miss the neo-industrial structures of the Istanbul Modern and Santral Istanbul, as well as the state-of-the art architecture at the Kanyon Shopping Center.
If Istanbul's bustle and the traffic become too much to bear, take to the water: The serene car-free Princes' Islands are only a short boat trip across the Sea of Marmara, and you really can't top chartering your own private yacht for a Champagne sunset sail up the Bosphorus.

Hancock confident of $7bn funding for Roy Hill mine
PUBLISHED: 12 Jul 2013 11:06:12 | UPDATED: 15 Jul 2013 07:43:49PRINT EDITION: 12 Jul 2013A spokesman for Gina Rinehart's Roy says constructive discussions with export credit agencies are proceeding, while a number of commercial banks responded encouragingly after visiting the site in May
Luke Forrestal
Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting says it is confident of securing a $7 billion funding package for the Roy Hill iron ore project in Western Australia's Pilbara after meeting with banks and claims it is on track to meet an end-of-year deadline.
Hancock and its partners in the $10 billion mine, port and rail project are seeking to arrange $4 billion in funding from export credit agencies (ECAs) and at least a further $3 billion from commercial banks in what would be the biggest capital raising of its kind in mining history.
The process has already been delayed once and there is much speculation that Mrs Rinehart may strike further trouble, with current conditions in debt markets not favourable for private entities such as Hancock.
But Roy Hill spokesman Darryl Hockey said on Thursday that constructive discussions with the ECAs were proceeding, while a number of commercial banks responded encouragingly after visiting the site in May.
"It is fair to say that there is a high level of interest in the project and the feedback continues to be positive," Mr Hockey said in an emailed statement.
Hancock had targeted the end of last year to have the debt in place then admitted the timeline was too ambitious, given the number of banks involved and the complex process of approvals for government-linked ECAs. It now expects to achieve sign-off on financing by end 2013. It assumes this will enable it to ship the first ore from Roy Hill in September 2015.

Community Care Connect to Offer Preventive Screenings at Two New Bozeman Locations |
915 Highland Boulevard Bozeman, MT 59715 (406) 585-5000 |
March 20, 2014
The Community Care Connect (CCC) mobile outreach vehicle will be making stops at two new locations in Bozeman this month to offer immunizations and preventative health screenings, along with health and nutrition education, for everyone, particularly the uninsured and under-insured. The big green and white vehicle will be in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Saturday, March 22, 9 am-1 pm, and at the Bozeman Public Library on Tuesday, March 25, 11 am-3 pm. Any citizen is welcome to visit for a variety of free health screenings. Regular preventative health screenings and immunizations are essential to good health, said Beverly Macmillan of Bozeman Deaconess Health Services. Sometimes we postpone these medical necessities because we cant afford them. However, none of us can afford to get sick. Thats why CCC offers free health screenings and select immunizations for those who need them. Area residents can receive vaccines against flu, tetanus, whooping cough and pneumonia. The CCC staff also provides blood pressure readings, preventative health screenings for breast and colon cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Residents also can receive training in hands-only CPR, and speak with a pharmacist about medication interactions (please bring your medication list). Bozeman Deaconess is committed to treat those in need with preventative care before they become seriously ill. Addressing health problems early can prevent more serious illness, said Bozeman Deaconess Health Group President James Loeffelholz, MD. Routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests can reduce the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and complications from preventable infectious diseases like whooping cough or influenza. Partnering in Community Care Connect are Bozeman Deaconess Health Services, Community Health Partners ((CHP), Gallatin City-County Health Department, Gallatin Valley Food Bank and Human Resources Development Council (HRDC). No appointment is necessary. For future dates and other locations, or more information, call Community Care Connect at 414-2022 or visit the website at www.bozemandeaconess.org/events. |

We've built a culture centered on the idea that the best people will always produce the best results. We're not the biggest nor do we want to be.
We meet with clients on the Porch, instead of a boardroom. We brainstorm in the Den and we take calculated risks at the Card Table. We are obsessive about collaborating, and when the dust settles, everyone walks away energized and proud of what they've done today.
You have big ideas, and so do we. But the first step is to simplify—to break it down into smaller pieces, each with a clear path to the core objective. We set measurable deliverables and use them to ensure every tactic is meeting its ultimate goal.
Every client is on the journey with us. And in the end, when the final picture emerges, there are no surprises—just results.
Chicago is a city of big plans, and broad shoulders.
We are deeply connected to our roots but known for ushering in the future. In Chicago, you can dine at several of the world's finest restaurants. Then step next door for an Old Style, and make quick friends with a stranger.
Chicago is progressive. Authentic. And second-to-none. It's why we call Chicago home.
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized.

Chicagoan and architect

Tuscan Grilled Trout
From Food & Wine
A simple garlic-and-herb-infused oil combined with wine vinegar acts as both a basting liquid and a sauce for the fish. The trout skin protects the flesh and turns an appealing golden brown during grilling.

Serves: 4
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1/4 cup(s) olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, cut into thin slices
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried rosemary, crumbled
- 2 tablespoon(s) wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 8 trout fillets (about 2 pounds in all)
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, sage, and rosemary. Cook over moderately low heat until the garlic just starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.
- Put the trout fillets in a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add half of the oil-and-vinegar mixture and turn to coat. Grill or broil the fish skin-side down for 2 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 2 minutes longer for 1/4-inch-thick fillets. To serve, whisk the remaining oil-and-vinegar mixture and pour it over the hot fish.
- Wine Recommendation: Look for a young white wine from Italy with plenty of acidity, such as a pinot grigio or Soave, to complement the trout and stand up to the vinegar here.
Tips & Techniques
Fish alternatives: In place of the trout, try relatively firm fillets, such as Arctic char or salmon. Whole fresh sardines, if you can find them, would also be delicious.
Test-kitchen tip: If you don't plan to grill the trout right away, let the oil and vinegar cool completely before adding the mixture to the fish. Otherwise, the hot oil and vinegar will start to cook the fish immediately.

Wow - love this. I used to have a set of Italian playing cards many moons ago featuring intriguing illustrations like this, but not as good as what you've created here. Well done.
Thanks very much all! This is an obvious homage to alchemy imagery, but I had a lot of fun with it :)

Lisa's been called an alchemist and an inspiration. Her aim is to help women feel more beautiful and confident through wearing her jewelry creations. And let's face it, attracting more compliments will brighten any day!
Lisa Chandler started selling her jewelry in October, 1999. Her style ranges widely from conservative to contemporary, and delicate to city-funk; but she always maintains an underlying flavor of femininity. She's a natural observer, noticing lines, angles, textures, colors and shapes everywhere as she goes in this wonderous world. This gift has allowed Lisa to sustain a business crafting solely one-of-a-kind pieces for over a dozen years, hence the tagline, "As unique as the women who wear them!"
There is also a spiritual quality in everything Lisa touches. Her creations are a meditation in motion; each a unique statement, cherished by women who adopt her pieces as a form of individual expression. Lisa loves the idea that each piece is somehow "meant" for a particular woman, and relishes the look of recognition in a client's face when she finds "her" piece.
Lisa works from her home studio in Austin, Texas meeting the demands of boutiques and private clients with her lovingly-crafted designs.

Headphone Design
Headphone type refers to the construction of the headphones.
Around the Ear means that the headphones wrap around the ear to provide a secure fit. This is most often seen in active and sports headphones.
Around the Neck means that the headphones wrap around the neck. This is also seen in active and sports headphones.
Earbuds means that the right and left sides of the headphones are separated and will fit securely into the ear. These are small, compact, and user friendly.
Over the Head headphones mean that the right and left speakers are connected with a support that goes over the head and rests on top. This is the typical headphone type.
This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
General Features
Corded means that the headphones use a cord to transfer the audio signal.
Wireless means that the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the headphones.
1/4" Stereo jack is a larger audio jack that select electronics have.
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

Spaanschemat River Road

Tel: 27 21 794 2390
Concierge.com's insider take:
For a sublime French dinner, head 20 minutes out of the city to the Constantia winelands to one of the city's most beautiful wine estates, Constantia Uitsig. It's always hard to get a table at La Colombe, one of Constantia Uitsig's three restaurants (Uitsig and the River Café are the other two), because the food is superb and the service excellent. It's the kind of place where a shared starter is presented on two plates, diners are escorted to the bathroom, and rose petals are strewn over the table to celebrate a special occasion. The è la carte menu changes every couple of days, and appetizers might include king crab, home-cured salmon, and salmon caviar. For entrees, try the catch of the day, such as kinglip with prawn and asparagus risotto, or gemsbok (oryx) carpaccio.
Open daily noon to 2 pm and 7 to 9 pm.
