We've encountered everything, including the kitchen sink, inside our bags: frozen rats, live crabs clawing their way out of newspaper wrapping, live and dead chickens plopped whole into suitcases, rotten food and stinking cheese, vibrating dildos, crystal chandeliers, engine parts, televisions. Passengers have called screeners every name from nigger to sorry-ass bitch to ten-dollar-an-hour motherfucker. So maybe we can be forgiven for some of the attitude that might crop up.
I'm less familiar with passenger checkpoint operations since I work in baggage, but the talk is the same from both sides of the metal detectors. Checkpoint screeners may be better supervised (or more closely watched) because they have more contact with the public, but so many supervisors and managers are either incompetent or literally in bed with their favorite screeners that the same situations always arise throughout MIA.
The story of the overweight undercover inspector who scared the screeners at one checkpoint is still repeated, each time in more graphic detail. The latest version I've heard has the inspector -- one of the testers periodically sent down from the General Accounting Office in Washington -- getting through the checkpoint with a gun deposited inside a body cavity (earlier and probably more accurate accounts had the gun positioned between her legs, very near her crotch).
If passengers going through checkpoints set off the walk-through metal detector, they'll usually be subjected to "wanding" with a hand-held metal detector. This routine is unpleasant for passengers but can be worse for shy or lazy screeners who are loath to follow orders, which are to probe assertively intimate areas where contraband and arms are most likely to be stashed. That's what happened when the overweight inspector was wanded, cleared, and then revealed her true mission. The way the tale ends: "They just didn't get the wand up high enough because her legs were so fat." The reluctant screener had to attend retraining classes.
Knowing how assiduously many TSA screeners avoid working at all, it's safe to assume other dangerous items have passed onto planes undetected. The fat lady incident is only a symptom of the morale-sapping (and security-compromising) virus that by now has infected every TSA screening station at the airport.
One screener describes her checkpoint: "There's a group who's always standing around talking or going on breaks whenever it's their time to [do certain tasks]. So a few screeners end up doing everything. Whenever we complain to supervisors, they say, öOh yeah, I'll have to talk to him or her.' But then nothing changes. Shit, big surprise -- the worst ones are the favorites of the supervisors and managers. Nobody complains anymore -- we just have to accept it."
I've heard some screeners boast of purposely making mistakes on tasks they hate so they'll be taken off those jobs. Instead of ordering them to shape up, their superiors generally let them go back to standing around. A few months ago at one of our periodic Town Hall meetings, I was surprised to hear an offhand remark by FSD Richard Thomas (who must be praised for holding Town Hall meetings in the first place, even though everyone is too scared to tell him anything of substance). Thomas said Washington had authorized him to hire additional screeners but that he really needs to fill even more positions -- "to take into account the sick and the lazy."
Because TSA employees have been warned not to speak to the news media -- locally some screeners have been fired for responding to a TV reporter's questions -- I'm not using my real name or the real names of most TSA employees mentioned in this story. I've left out or changed revealing personal and work-related details. I've also left out anything the government has termed "SSI," or Sensitive Security Information.
The only screener whose name I haven't changed is Theo Karantsalis. He appeared in Joan Fleischman's column in the Miami Herald when he sued the TSA earlier this year; he's also been the subject of unrelated articles in New Times and in MS Focus magazine. His bosses at the TSA don't know what to do with him, though he's being pushed out, step by step, because he's way off the chain. But many screeners believe Karantsalis has done us, and TSA, a favor by nipping at the heels of our secretive, punitive management.
Karantsalis, a former Immigration and Naturalization Service agent who now is a TSA checkpoint supervisor, was one of about two dozen Miami employees flown to Washington, D.C., a year ago for a lavish awards banquet to celebrate TSA's second birthday. The agency spent almost half a million dollars on food, decorations, awards plaques, and lodging for 600 honored employees and family members from across the nation.
Beaming in his uniform, Karantsalis was photographed with his award at the banquet. This snapshot appeared in two Miami newspapers. Within two months, he was a pariah at TSA. Karantsalis had been reporting to work at 4:30 a.m. but asked his bosses to permit him to start his shift three hours later. Because of vision problems related to multiple sclerosis (from which he suffers but doesn't appear to), he can't drive a car and had been having trouble bicycling to the airport in the early-morning darkness, when bus service is virtually nonexistent.

During his seven years at McWane, Ritchie increased the center's visibility in the community, raised $11 million for new exhibits and another $5 million to establish a children's museum. Under his watch, McWane attendance has gone from 253,000 annually to 350,000 not including special events.
Ritchie said Monday that his proudest accomplishment was increasing "dwell time" -- the average time visitors spend at the museum.
"When I arrived here in 2004, the dwell time was under two hours," he said. "Now it's over four hours. There's an enormous number of new things for people to do, beginning with Science Works, which is how we used a $5 million grant from board member Bill Ratliff in 2005. That really got us going on redoing our exhibit hall."
More recent innovations include the Imagination Lab, Shark and Ray Touch Tank and additions to dinosaur and sea monster areas.
Reaching outside the center, McWane has raised $350,000 for scholarships, received $400,000 in the first phase of support from the city of Birmingham, established a statewide science competition and raised $140,000 for the Restoration Academy in Fairfield, in a partnership with W.J. Christian School designed to raise science scores.
"Tim has had a great run with us," said McWane's Chairman of the Board Charles Powell. "He is leaving us in great shape, with a great team and a solid relationship with the city that is growing as a partnership. He has allowed the science center to accomplish its mission, which is to help educate young people in the area and to change lives through an understanding and appreciation of science."
At The Tech Museum, a 13-year-old museum situated in Silicon Valley, Ritchie will focus on expanding permanent exhibits.
"The Tech Museum has one of the best technology exhibits," he said. "They are creating a reorganization alignment, so the organization is poised to refresh its exhibits. They have two very well known programs that occur outside the museum. One is the Tech Awards, which is for technology that benefts humanity. Another is a science competition called Tech Challenge. They have an enormous impact, but what needs to be refreshed is what happens inside the museum."
Ritchie, a Louisville, Ky., native, began at McWane in June 2004. Before that, he was the head of Louisville Diversified Services, which helped adults with disabilities to get and keep jobs. Earlier, he practiced law in Birmingham and worked in public housing. Richie's wife, Christine, who is director of palliative care at UAB, will move to California and is exploring a possible position at the University of California, San Francisco. Ritchie's last day at McWane is Friday. A nationwide search is in its beginning stages.
"We have a search committee in place," said Powell. "We are working on a formal job announcement and posting, and we will get a search going within the next 10 days to two weeks."
Ritchie hopes his replacement will take heed of a six-foot-long sign above his desk, which reads, "How will the world be different in positive ways because McWane Science Center exists?"
"If my successor focuses on that question, and on impact in the community, we'll be OK," he said.

Internet Browsers - Which one do you use? Which one should you use?
As a school that specializes in distance education in photography, the NYIP staff keeps a close eye on
our Web site analytics. Recently we noticed that Apple's Safari had jumped up the list of browser types
our visitors are using to second place. Nearly 25% of the people who visit our site are doing using the
Safari browser. This simple fact generated quite a bit of discussion around the office. Some people
balked saying that their favorite browser is so much better than Safari while some defend Safari based on recent improvements especially in security and privacy options. There was also some speculation as to why suddenly more people are using Safari. Is it because more traffic is coming from iPhones, iPods and iPads all of which use the Safari browser? Is it because, as a photo school, our students are more likely to be on Apple computers? Or is it simply that Safari's latest version is better and is converting PC users? I'm not going to pretend to be an Apple engineer or marketing agent so I won't give concrete answers to these questions, but I do know that when I check our sites on the go it is always Safari, because I'm using an iPhone.
It will probably come as no surprise that the largest number of users are still on some version of
Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE). IE has been and will probably continue to be the most widely used
Internet browser. It is preinstalled on every version of Windows that is shipped, and Windows is still
overwhelmingly the most used operating system for desktop and laptop PCs. For full disclosure, our Web
visitors use IE, Safari, Firefox and Chrome - in that order. This got us wondering, what browser do you
use and why?
Personally, I use both Firefox and Chrome on my office PC. I find Chrome to be a quick and innovative
browser. I like the different themes that are available and the recently released Web Apps Store has
some very interesting and useful extensions that can be easily installed. Chrome also offers a built in
sync with your Google account. This lets you keep your browser settings, themes and extensions synced
on multiple computers. However, I do find that some Web sites with dynamic content or video don't
always load on Chrome. When this occurs I jump to my trusty Firefox. I was an early adopter of Firefox
and have been using it for some time. Like Chrome, it offers a fast and good-looking presentation of my
favorite Web sites. It is also very reliable and I find almost no compatibility problems on Firefox.
The past few weeks I've been exploring a new browser on the market called RockMelt. RockMelt is built
on Google's open-source Chromium so it is very similar to Google's Chrome in functionality and look.
The unique thing about RockMelt is its social integration; some have called it "The Facebook Browser".
RockMelt lets you have real-time access to your Facebook and Twitter accounts from browser tool bars.
You don't have to leave the page you are on to share a link, check your wall, update your status or post
a tweet. RockMelt also has an integrated RSS reader that alerts you when your favorite sites have new
In the comments section below, we'd like to hear what browsers you use, and why. If you are anything
like the staff here at NYIP you will have a favorite and feel oddly connected to it. What does your Web
browser say about you, and why do we care so much? I don't know the answers to these last two
questions, and there is probably another post asking to be written answering those questions. For now
I know you won't catch me using IE and that I sigh every time I'm forced to use it at my parents' house.
Why won't they upgrade, why?
Latest Versions of the mentioned browsers:
IE - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/products/ie/home
Safari - http://www.apple.com/safari/
Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Chrome - http://www.google.com/chrome

Shakers send Spireites packing
The 35-year-old ex-Blackpool striker enlivened a dull encounter with two headers in 15 minutes to help move the Shakers firmly into the mix for a play-off place at the very least. The first-half at Gigg Lane was largely forgettable but for a nasty injury to Bury defender Ryan Creswell, who suffered suspected ankle ligament damage after crumpling in a heap as he nearly headed into his own net. Bury made their possession count 11 minutes into the second half when Morrell pounced to score only his second goal of the season, beating keeper Tommy Lee to Tom Newey's deep left-wing cross. Newey had a stinging drive well saved by Lee moments later, but the Shakers had the game wrapped up after 71 minutes as Morrell pounced after a scramble to head in a corner, although Efe Sodje also tried to claim it. Wade Small then tapped in a consolation for the visitors with a minute of normal time left.

This week DCR is in San Diego testing out Sony's new Alpha, NEX and - seriously - binocular releases. Today we're coming at you with a first look at the SLT-A77, the newest flagship translucent mirror camera. In the interest of preserving everyone's sanity, we've downsized these samples to a web-friendlier format from their original 24 megapixels. Other than that the sample images below haven't undergone any post-processing.
A few months ago when we first got our hands on an A77 pre-production model, we were impressed with the quality of the OLED viewfinder. That impression hasn't worn away with several hours worth of use. It's the best EVF we've used to date - seamlessly fluid, bright and sharp. What you see in the viewfinder isn't a distorted approximation of what you're going to get - it is exactly what you're going to get.
Our production-ready A77 didn't let us down speed-wise either. The 12 fps speed priority mode has its own special spot on the mode dial, making it easy to access quickly. In other shooting modes, Hi and Lo bursts are available. In some situations I opted for the 10 fps Hi or stepped down to the Lo option. But when it's imperative to catch that decisive moment, like when you're tracking a dog on a surfboard (really) then 12 fps will more than have you covered. The sequence below of the dog running was shot at 10 fps and the camera does an admirable job of holding focus through the series.
When dealing with scenes of great contrast, the SLT-A77 tended to produce darker images rather than clip highlights. Shooting in Aperture Priority with default evaluative metering, I found some of the shadow detail was lost in images like the one below, but some minor adjustments in-camera or in post-processing could correct the exposure.
They produce huge image files, but all of those 24 megapixels are your friend when it comes to cropping. Provided that you're using a low enough ISO setting to avoid any unwanted noise artifacts from becoming too obvious, the A77 user can crop aggressively to tweak images in post-processing. See example - dog on man on surfboard.
I shot Fine JPEGS for this first look, and the SLT-A77 didn't seem to do much out of the ordinary to them processing-wise. Greens and reds are a little punchy, but not over-saturated. Sony provides Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Portrait, Landscape and Black & White processing modes. Auto white balance mode tended to warm up images a bit by default.
We've just scratched the surface with the Alpha A77, stay tuned for a full review in the near future.

If this isn't a relationship confirmation, we don't know what is! In a new Instagram video, Khloe Kardashian is shown dancing, giggling and KISSING French Montana backstage at the MTV Africa Music Awards on June 7. It's aww-worthy!
Khloe Kardashian, 29, looks happier than ever with French Montana, 29, in a new Instagram video posted at the MTV Africa Music Awards on June 7. Khloe — who flew all the way to Durban, South Africa, to be by her man's side — wears a slinky, low-cut satin champagne dress while French looks hot in all black and sunglasses. They two haven't confirmed their relationship to the public yet, but there's only one thing we see when we watch this video: Two people in love!
Khloe Kardashian & French Montana: Kissing & Flirting In New Video
Khloe and French look more in love than ever in the all-new Instagram video posted by Khloe's makeup artist Rob Scheppy MTV Africa Music Awards on June 7. The video officially shows us these two are SO into each other! To dance, flirt and KISS together for all the world to see? That feels like a message to the world that these two are in love!
Khloe and French have heated up big time since Khloe returned home from Europe after attending sister Kim Kardashian's Italian wedding extravaganza on May 24. The duo first showed signs of a serious relationship when they went jewelry shopping together at Rafaello & Co in New York City on May 27. They bought matching rose gold watches during their romantic shopping spree, the store's owner tells HollywoodLife.com.
The watches weren't the end of the bling for this couple — yet another source tells us French "showers" Khloe with gifts. "No one has ever seen him this into a girl before," our source spills about French's feelings for Khloe.
Khloe Kardashian: Front Row At French's Performance!
French is showering Khloe in jewels, but Khloe is proving her feelings for French by supporting his career. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians starlet was front row at Jennifer Lopez's show in the Bronx on June 4 to watch French perform. "She was all smiles while he performed," a show eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com.
These two are quickly becoming one of our favorite couples. They just look so happy together — and we can't NOT smile when we watch the Instagram video. What do YOU think of the video, HollywoodLifers? Do you think this is Khloe's way of telling us she's French's girlfriend?

okay, since we're going with a stopgaydays theme, here are some really sweet pics that stopgaydays.com...ahem, "forgot" to show:
and this...
so, you can go to stopgaydays.com and see what They want you to see...or you can see REAL pics of people there...your choice.
haha, notice how ALL of the pictures were of gay men? No lesbians I saw... at least in the main focus of the pictures
It's like the Nazis in World War II. Almost all homosexual prisoners and victims were men. They couldn't believe that a German woman would want ot be with another woman and not a man. WOmen were for cooking, cleaning, and child bearing/raising.
I saw one pic of a lesbo couple, but that's it...Yeah, those people who put this shit in the media are just a bunch of fucked up assholes. They are trying to hold onto dead values...let's see how well that works in like twenty years...
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
Though I haven't seen the site ur talking about, your pics are kind of bad too....Why in the hell is that guy wearing chick's pants? Your pics are almost as stereotypical as the ones anti-gay groups put into the media...
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
To the site and viewed the photos...I agree w/ the christian network in that the behavior going on was totally innappropriate...guys giving each other bj's on a ride, people walking around in chaps and shit like that...If that's what being gay represents and means though, then I am not gay...God, the christians are right...people should only have oral and anal sex and shit like that in PRIVATE!!!! totally inappropriate for Disneyland...I do, however think, that though stereotypical pics were the only ones shown, there are a lot of 'normal' gay couples and gays there that are obviously not shown by the christians for obvious reasons...it fuckin'; pisses me off...people should be judged by THIER actions and not by the actions of a SMALL MINORITY, who are willing to do shit like that in a public room w/ people just standing around watching....Damn...The worst fuckin' part is that the conservatives fuckin' win people over by that shit...It's all SHOCK VALUE and nothing but...I'm done.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
Yes I'm sure there were a lot of horny assholes there but then these RE most definatly the norm. Note the site was almost entirely gay men, not lesbians

Leuvon™ 590 Cross Flow Nanofiltration (CFN™) Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate is fortified with an advanced Leucine-Bound Leucine Peptide (LBLP) essential to switching on anabolism. Leucine directly activates a critical compound in muscle that functions like a molecular switch to turn on the protein synthesis machinery in muscle. And NytroWhey Ultra Elite contains up to four times the leucine found in other whey protein products.

Hello there! What is new? Well, I did just recently release a new mega-single:
60 Minutes of Music for Massage, Meditation, Relaxation, Sleep, Yoga
You can download the complete 60-minute track from Amazon for just .99 cents (yes, .99 cents!) right here:
Here's a sample of what you'll hear:
In case if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm KevOz. Whether you're new to my music and this is your first time here, or if you're a longtime fan, let me take this opportunity to say "Hello" and thank you for stopping by!
I've been making music for quite a while now and along the way I've been named an "Unsigned Artist of the Month" by Keyboard Magazine (for my album "Digital") and featured on iTunes as part of their "iTunes Essentials: Yoga" compilation (for my track "Electric Waves"). I love creating whatever type of instrumental music I wish - so my music is not 100% Electronic...nor is it 100% New Age. It varies between those musical bookends...and at times goes beyond.
If that doesn't give you an idea, maybe you'll know of these artists - whose work at times is very similar to mine: Vangelis, Yanni, Tangerine Dream, and Mannheim Steamroller. If you're feeling a bit down and stressed out, my music can pick you up...if you're already feeling pretty good and just want to chill out and relax, my music can help in that department as well. I love creating music that elevates the listener to another level - whether it is used for massage, meditation, relaxation, yoga or other exercise, or just as unobtrusive background music.
Well, now that you have an idea of what my music is all about, please have a good look (and listen!) around. Oh - and please feel free to join my FREE Official Fan List (you'll see the little box on each page of this site) - you'll keep up to date with what's going on with me, and I'll shoot you some exclusive content every now and then. And thanks again for visiting, I appreciate it!

Showdown looms as Rudd quits
PUBLISHED: 22 Feb 2012 08:12:00 | UPDATED: 23 Feb 2012 12:34:55PRINT EDITION: 22 Feb 2012Kevin Rudd said he'd return to Brisbane on Friday and would make a full statement on his future before parliament resumed on Monday after consulting with family and colleagues.

Kevin Rudd dramatically announced his resignation as Foreign Minister in Washington on Wednesday, saying he could not continue to serve without the support of Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
In a press conference in the William Douglas room of Washington's stately Willard Hotel at 1am local time, Mr Rudd accused his Labor colleagues, led by Regional Minister Simon Crean, of treachery and declared the future of the country at risk from the party's machinations over the leadership.
Mr Rudd said he would consult with his family, community and colleagues about his next steps on his return to Brisbane on Friday morning and hinted that a tilt at the leadership was foremost in his thoughts.
"There is one overriding question for my caucus colleagues and that is 'who is best placed to defeat Tony Abbott at the next election'," he said.
"Mr Abbott, I believe, does not have the temperament or experience to be elected to the highest office in Australia but for a long time he has been on track to do just that."
In a brief statement on Wednesday night, Ms Gillard said: "I am disappointed that the concerns Mr Rudd has publicly expressed this evening were never personally raised with me, nor did he contact me to discuss his resignation prior to his decision."
Ms Gillard will hold a press conference on Thursday, where she is widely expected to call a leadership ballot next Monday.
If Mr Rudd decides not to challenge, he may simply return to the back bench or he may choose to resign from parliament, immediately or later.
In a sign of the deep divisions in the Labor Party, Treasurer Wayne Swan launched a scathing attack on Mr Rudd, saying he and Ms Gillard had refrained from criticism for too long.
"Kevin Rudd has been putting his own self-interest ahead of the interests of the broader labour movement and the country as a whole, and that needs to stop," he said in a statement.
"The party has given Kevin Rudd all the opportunities in the world and he wasted them with his dysfunctional decision making and his deeply demeaning attitude towards other people including our caucus colleagues.
"He sought to tear down the 2010 campaign, deliberately risking an Abbott prime ministership, and now he undermines the government at every turn.
"He was the party's biggest beneficiary then its biggest critic; but never a loyal or selfless example of its values and objectives."
During his press conference, called after another intense day of leadership speculation, Mr Rudd evoked the bitterness of his sacking as prime minister by his parliamentary colleagues in 2010 and accused Ms Gillard of sharing doubts over his integrity raised by some senior ministers.
"In recent days Mr Crean and a number of other faceless men have publicly attacked my integrity and therefore my fitness to serve as a minister in the government," he said.
"When challenged today on these attacks, Prime Minister Gillard chose not to repudiate them.
"I can only reluctantly conclude that she therefore shares these views."
"I cannot continue to serve as foreign minister if i do not have the Prime Minister's support.
"I therefore believe the only honourable course of action is for me to resign."
Mr Rudd said he did so with a "heavy heart" and expressed concern that the "soap opera" over the Labor leadership was undermining business confidence in Australia.
"The Australian people regard this whole affair as little better than a soap opera and they are right," he said.
"Under the current circumstances I want no part of it.
"It's a distraction from the business of government and I also believe that it's affecting the business community."
Mr Rudd said that it was crucial for the future of the ALP and the future of the nation that there be "an end to the power of the faceless men. Australia must governed by the people," he said.
"I promise you this – there is no way, no way, that I will ever be part of a stealth attack on a sitting prime minister elected by the people," he said.
"We all know that what happened then was wrong and it must never happen again."
Mr Rudd said that in his letter of resignation to the Prime Minister, he had asked that it take effect 48 hours after his return to Australia so that transitional arrangements could be made for his staff.
While he felt uncomfortable resigning from Washington, the ongoing leadership speculation about the federal party was hurting Labor's prospects in the coming Queensland election.
"I believe the good people of Queensland deserve some clear space over the coming month as they make up their minds on a very important decision on the future of Queensland, my home state," he said.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said she was glad the federal leadership speculation would finally be resolved, admitting the issue had damaged Labor's chances of winning a sixth term in office on March 24.
"I'm pleased that hopefully we can have it resolved once and for all and put the whole thing to bed," Ms Bligh said.
"It's very hard to talk to people about state issues when something this big is happening. There's no doubt this hasn't been good for a state election campaign."
Washington correspondent Ben Potter, who attended Kevin Rudd's resignation press conference, gives his impressions of the latest move in Labor's leadership ructions.
Mr Swan said Ms Gillard had the "overwhelming" support of her colleagues.
"She is tough, determined, forward-looking, and has a good Labor heart. She has a consultative, respectful relationship with caucus while Kevin Rudd demeaned them," he said.
"She's cleaned up a lot of the mess he left her and has established a good, Labor agenda. She's delivering major reforms, and getting things done that her predecessor could not. Colleagues are sick of Kevin Rudd driving the vote down by sabotaging policy announcements and undermining our substantial economic successes.
"The Labor Party is not about a person, it's about a purpose. That's something Prime Minister Gillard has always known in her heart but something Kevin Rudd has never understood."
Earlier in the day, Climate and Industry Minister Greg Combet said it was time the issue was resolved. Declaring his strong support for Ms Gillard, Mr Combet said the issue was a "distraction" from the work of government.
"This issue needs to be resolved and it needs to be resolved in the near future," Mr Combet told the National Press Club in Canberra.
"There are judgements the prime minister needs to make and for Mr Rudd to make in relation to it, but enough is enough. It is time this matter is resolved."
NSW senator Doug Cameron earlier defended Mr Rudd as Mr Crean angrily rejected reports he is a compromise candidate in the leadership battle.
"People are saying that he shouldn't be treated like this. [He's a] former prime minister, former leader of the party, and Kevin Rudd has got a lot of support in terms of him doing his job and doing it effectively.
"The attacks on him, the gratuitous attacks, should stop."
Mr Crean released a statement on Wednesday saying claims aired on television and in a News Ltd report that he was positioning himself as a third candidate were not accurate and that he supported Ms Gillard.
"The claims in The Australian about me are wrong," Mr Crean said.
"I have said repeatedly that I support the prime minister and, so there is no doubt, I do so again."
Senator Cameron said Ms Gillard had "some lead in her saddlebags" because of the way she came to the job in June 2010 by ousting Mr Rudd.
Industrial Relations Minister Bill Shorten said he supported Julia Gillard 100 per cent.
"In terms of how she handles this damaging and distracting leadership speculation, that's her call as to how she handles it," he said while launching the Guide to the Textile, Clothing and Footwear and Associated Industries Award in Melbourne on Wednesday .
"But I and I know the vast majority of the caucus members support her and when she chooses to do something or whatever courses of action she chooses to take, she will have the support of the caucus.
"Someone famous once remarked it's lonely at the top. And it is lonely in leadership. Our Prime Minister is not alone."
When asked if he would put his hand up for the leadership position, Mr Shorten said he completely supported the leader.
"Everybody needs to take a bit of a cold shower. It's not in anyone's interests, the country's or the Labor Party, for us to be spending our time talking about endless leadership speculation," Attorney-general Nicola Roxon told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
"We have got a government that is delivering all sorts of important changes to the community, the most recent this week being the education review and the extensive reforms that are now being discussed with the community."
Mr Abbott said the Labor Party needed to "sort" the leadership issue soon.
"Investment isn't happening, employment isn't happening, confidence is shattered," Mr Abbott told Sydney radio 2UE.
"If you have no confidence in the government, it's very hard to have confidence in the country."

Day #3 of the Summer Blog Blast Tour! Enjoy......
Delia Sherman at Chasing Ray: "Broadway was far and away my favorite part. I LOVE Damon Runyon. I love the voice, the things he did with language, the way he stitched violence and sentimentality and comedy and tragedy into stories that are uniquely and utterly, not only American, but New York. I just giggled all the way through writing the chapters about the Producer (whose office is based on the set of the Broadway musical of that name, by the way) and Honey and Raoul and the Bram Stoker Hotel. Getting it right was less lighthearted process, but then it always is."
Ingrid Law at Fuse Number 8: "When you think of superhero stories, you often don't think of pink Bible toting buses or evil talking smiley faces. All that's about to change."
Polly Dunbar at 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast: "I live in a top floor flat with views of rooftops all around. There are a lot of seagulls in Brighton, and I spend quite a lot of time watching them, watching me. I'm surrounded by books, pens, brushes, toys, puppets and general muddle and about a million bits of colored paper. I would like to be organized enough to color-code the paper, but I don't think it's ever going to happen."
Tera Lynn Childs at Bildungsroman: "Daydreaming = Work"
I do almost all my writing in coffee shops (shout out to Starbucks!) and spend a lot of my time daydreaming, staring out the window, or observing the rainbow parade of customers. It may not look like I'm working, but really I am. Really!"
Siena Cherson Siegel at Miss Erin: "For example, when other parts of life are confusing and chaotic, the repetition of the exercises you always do at the barre can feel like meeting an old friend. Despite the rigors of training your body in class, there is a mental focus, clarity and intensity of concentration needed that can be a relief. This is the part of the ballet training that I described as a refuge in the book. I also really enjoyed being able to express feelings through the dancing. It was a great artistic outlet for a lot of intense emotions."
Barry Lyga at A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy: "Oh, no question about it: Godless, by Pete Hautman. I am just endlessly impressed by that book. It's funny and it's serious. It's scary and it's heartfelt. It tackles a huge issue -- religion -- but it does so on a comprehensible, human scale. And it's SHORT! You can read it an afternoon, but in that afternoon, you'll laugh out loud, get choked up, and find yourself with a new understanding of organized religion. That's pretty damn impressive, especially in two hundred pages."

Using Wikis and Blogs to Ease Administration
The three blank spaces at the beginning of each of those lines are critical.
These two lines add your user to the TWikiAdminGroup and allow only members of the TWikiAdminGroup to modify the group. We are now ready to enable authentication for our wiki, so go back to http://www.example.com/wiki/bin/configure. Several options provided under the Security section are useful. You should make sure the options {UseClientSessions} and {Sessions}{UseIPMatching} are enabled. Also set the {LoginManager} option to TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin and {PasswordManager} to TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser. If your server supports it, you should set {HtPasswd}{Encoding} to sha1. Save your changes and return to the wiki. If you are not logged in automatically, there is a link at the top left of the page that allows you to do so.
Now that you have authentication working, you may want to tighten down your wiki so that unauthorized people do not turn your documentation repository into an illicit data repository. TWiki has a pretty sophisticated authorization system that is tiered from the site-wide preferences all the way down to a specific topic. Before locking down the Main web, a few more tasks need to be done. Once only certain users can change the Main web, registering new users will fail. That is because part of the user registration process involves creating a topic for that user under the Main web. Dakar has a user, TWikiRegistrationAgent, that is used to do this. From the Main web, use the Jump box at the top left to jump to the WebPreferences topic. Edit the topic to include the following four lines and save your changes:
Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup, -->;%MAINWEB%.TWikiRegistrationAgent
This allows only members of the TWikiAdminGroup to make changes or rename the Main web or update the Main web's preferences. It also allows the TWikiRegistrationAgent user to create new users' home topics when new users register. I have included a patch that you must apply to lib/TWiki/UI/Register.pm as well. The patch follows, but you can also download the patch from the LJ FTP site (see the on-line Resources):
--- lib/TWiki/UI/Register.pm.orig 2006-01-04 01:34:48.968947681 -0600 +++ lib/TWiki/UI/Register.pm 2006-01-04 01:35:48.999652157 -0600 @@ -828,11 +828,12 @@ my $userName = $data->{remoteUser} || $data->{WikiName}; my $user = $session->{users}->findUser( $userName ); + my $agent = $session->{users}->findUser( $twikiRegistrationAgent ); $text = $session->expandVariablesOnTopicCreation( $text, $user ); $meta->put( 'TOPICPARENT', { 'name' => $TWiki::cfg{UsersTopicName}} ); - $session->{store}->saveTopic($user, $data->{webName}, + $session->{store}->saveTopic($agent, $data->{webName}, $data->{WikiName}, $text, $meta ); return $log; }
Otherwise, new users' home directories will fail to be created and new user registration will fail. Once you have verified that the Main web is locked down, you should do the same for the TWiki and Sandbox webs.
When you are done configuring TWiki, you should secure the files' permissions:
# find /var/www/wiki/ -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} ';' # find /var/www/wiki/ -type f -exec chmod 0400 {} ';' # find /var/www/wiki/pub/ -type f -exec chmod 0600 {} ';' # find /var/www/wiki/data/ -type f -exec chmod 0600 {} ';' # find /var/www/wiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg -exec chmod 0600 {} ';' # find /var/www/wiki/bin/ -type f -exec chmod 0700 {} ';' # chown -R apache /var/www/wiki/*
As I mentioned before, TWiki has a plugin system that you can use. Many plugins are available from the TWiki Web site. Be sure the plugins you choose have been updated for Dakar before you use them.
One important aspect of system administration that is sometimes overlooked is keeping users informed. Most users like to know when there is new functionality available or when resources are down or not available. Not only does it make users happier to be kept informed, but it also can make your life easier as well. The last thing you want to do when the central file server is down is reply to users' questions about why they cannot get to their files. If you have trained your users to look at a central location for status of the infrastructure first, all you have to do after notification of a problem is post to this central place that there is a problem. Mailing lists also are good for this, but what if the mail server is down? Some people, for instance your boss or VP of the company, might like to know what the status is of things as they happen. These updates might not be suitable to send out to everyone daily via e-mail. You could create yet another mailing list for these notifications, but you also might consider a blog.
If you are not familiar with a blog, let us refer back to Wikipedia: "a blog is a Web site in which journal entries are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order."
The notion of a blog has been around for centuries in the form of diaries, but blogs recently have had an explosion on the Internet. Many times a blog is started as someone's personal journal or as a way to report news, but blogs can be extremely useful for the sysadmin.
Blogs can help a sysadmin give users an up-to-the-minute status of what they are doing and what the state of the infrastructure is. If you faithfully update your blog, you easily can look back on what you have accomplished so you can make your case for that raise you have been hoping for. It also will help you keep track of what your coworkers are doing. And, with many blog software packages providing RSS feeds, users can subscribe to the blog and be notified when there are new posts.

Article on Performance Tuning of Twiki
There is an article on twiki performance tuning in the April 2006 issue of Sysadmin Magazine: http://www.samag.com/current/
The author is able to boost twiki installations by factor 20 for read access.
The method presented can be used for other wikis too.
Wrong title for the article
The article title suggests that it will discuss using Wiki's and Blog's for documentation. It does start out with a short "why" on Wiki's, it does not addresses "why blogs" at all. I would have liked more information on why and how. Examples are key for me, personally.
My companies documentation is a bit of a mess. We are using a UML tool to document everything which means:
1) It was a lot of work work to put togther and just as much work to maintain (which means that a week later, it was already out of date).
2) Impossible to get a report out of it. I'm no expert in the tool, but I should not have to be to extract information I put in.
3) As pointed out above, too much overhead to learn. I spend enough of my free time reading articles and books on subjects that I am paid to do (and enjoy doing). I'm not going to spend an evening reading the manual of a tool I don't think fits the job.
Sorry - a little off track but I got a little frustrated reading an article on how to install software when I expected to read why I would want to.
Correction to permissions above & SpeedyCGI help
Those examples above won't work. Instead of
(space)(space)(space)Set BLAHBLAH = something
you need a TWiki bullet point:
(space)(space)(space)*(space)Set BLAHBLAH = something.

More about using blogs as administration document tool
I have two blogs at work. One is called "The life of the machines" where each machine has it's own category. All entries are short descriptions about things that I or someone else inside the company have done to the machines.
Another one is called "The laboratory" and it is personal but mostly open to anybody inside our company. I use it to document things I have experimented with, things I have done during the day and things that are still open for the next day or for the near future. It also serves as a store for ideas to experiment with etc. I have categories for several projects and also use the blog to track time spent in projects with a plugin I have written for the task. I even use tracked time as basis of intra corporation billing. I have also integrated my blog as a datasource for the company reporting system. I can run reports against my blog and see where my time has gone in a nice pie chart.
Of course I write official documentation based on my blog entries to the company wiki. ;-)
My company uses wiki, too
The company I work for uses MediaWiki as an internal know-how database.
It's working like a charm.
A friend of me is also using
A friend of me is also using MediaWiki as an external database. I think it's a great idea and hope to have the time to test it on my own soon.
Latest stable TWiki release
Actually, TWiki-4.0 (codename dakar) has been released on 1 Feb 2006 already. There's even a first maintenance release, TWiki-4.0.1 available. The patch described above isn't necessary anymore.
The previous release (TWiki20040904) was available on 28 Feb 2005.
I recommend to run TWiki by using SpeedyCGI, not FastCGI or mod_perl.

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.

Jewish Cemeteries Get New Life

Posted to: Religion, Beaver Hills, Westville
The gravestones on Jewell Street go back to 1856, but for years some of them have been neglected. Tombstones have toppled and groundhogs have moved in. With a new database of cemetery plots, Eli Greer is poised to perform an "act of true kindness" for those buried there.
That's "chesed shel emes" in Hebrew. Greer mentioned the term Thursday before a press conference recognizing cemetery improvements.
Mayor John DeStefano and State Rep. Pat Dillon were on hand at the press conference to celebrate the new sidewalks and new trees on Jewell Street, where 15 different Jewish cemeteries lie.
Those who have passed on cannot thank the living for taking care of their graves, Greer explained. It's an act of chesed shel emes to take care of them.
To ensure they are remembered, Greer and other volunteers have created a comprehensive database of information on all cemetery plots. It's searchable online and includes plot-by-plot maps of each cemetery. Greer worked with the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven and and the Jewish cemetery association to make it happen.
More work remains to be done. The cemeteries have fallen headstones, groundhog holes, broken fences, invasive trees, and obscured footstones. Greer is now collecting donations to fix all of those problems, which he estimated will cost as much as $18,000.
On Thursday Greer offered a quick tour of the cemeteries. The greater New Haven area holds 44 Jewish cemeteries. The 15 on Jewell Street are "the heart," Greer said. Each represents a different lodge or synagogue, some of which no longer exist.
The graves hold eight generations of New Haven Jews, he said.
Before stepping through the gates of one, he tucked in his tzitzis, the fringed end of his tallis katan. The action was a sign of respect to the people in the cemetery, who can no longer obey the commandment to wear the tallis, Greer said.
So far, Greer said, he and a couple of volunteers have identified, recorded and mapped 3,900 gravestones on Jewell Street. An additional 2,000 have been catalogued, but not mapped. Greer and the volunteers went stone by stone, translating Hebrew, and converting dates from the Hebrew calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The goal is to map all of the approximately 15,000 plots in all 44 Jewish cemeteries in greater New Haven.
As he moved between the grave stones, Greer pointed out where stones have toppled, tree limbs have fallen, and plants have grown over footstones. In all, 120 stones have fallen and need to be righted. Greer said that's simply because of neglect; there's no evidence of vandalism.
Greer pointed out "another very tragic problem": About a dozen groundhog holes have been found in the cemeteries. "It's unacceptable," he said.
Greer wended his way through the cemeteries, coming out on Jewell Street, where the press conference soon began.
DeStefano recounted how Greer and other members of the Jewish community came to him last winter asking for improvements to Jewell Street. As soon as the snow thawed, the city put in new sidewalks, DeStefano said.
Tree-planting guru Chris Ozyck (at right in photo above) explained that the Urban Resources Initiative worked with the Jewish community to select appropriate trees for the street, which were then planted by men in recovery from drug abuse, and by high school students they trained.
Trees without a large canopy were chosen. Greer explained why: Kohanim, Jewish descendants of those who worked in the temple in Jerusalem, are to stay pure and are thus not allowed to be in a building with a dead body. Trees with large canopies that extend over a cemetery and over a sidewalk can create a sort of "tent." Kohanim can't walk under such a tree, since it's then as if they're in the same room with the corpses in the graveyard.
"This is a loving, respectful act," state Rep. Dillon said of the cemetery improvements. "We stand on the shoulders of people who are buried here."

So glad to read this article and to learn that maintenance will be done in these cemeteries. My whole family is buried on Jewel Street and specifically in the Adas Israel Cemetery. We go there and clean-up the area as best as we can, but extra work and surveillance is needed and appreciated. Thank you Rabbi Greer

This is amazing work. Where can people go to donate towards Mr. Greer and Mr. Ozyck's work?

You can now donate online at http://www.yeshivanewhavensynagogue.org/cemetery.asp (scroll to the bottom of the page). Thank you!!

Great news and kudos to all Askonim for their great work! real Chessed Shel Emmes.
I would like to learn more on the great dignitaries and Torah Giants such as Rabbonim and Roshie Yeshivos that are buried across the 44 cemeteries.
There is now great interest in Kevarim of American rabbis via a website called http://www.kevarim.com perhaps photos of these gravestones can be shared on that website for the remembrance of those who have been forgotten and their legacy which might have been vanished.
Thanks again

Podcasts. The Universe Darkly(02-29-2008)When you look up at the night sky, you see a lot of things glowing like stars, planets, and galaxies.
So it might sound strange to hear that most of the Universe is actually dark. The truth is the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up everything we can see, and that means everything with telescopes we've got, accounts for only about 4% of the mass and energy of the Universe. Michael Schneider A Beginner's Guide To Constructing the Universe: The Mathematic Archetypes of Nature, Art and Science. The Timeless Alphabet: An introduction to the symbolic language of numbers and shapes My writings and classes introduce participants to the timeless, symbolic language of numbers and shapes which appear as the forms of nature, as symbols of religion and mythology, in the proportions of worldwide art and architecture, and in fairy tales and folk sayings.
Just a few numbers and their shapes compose this archetypal alphabet upon which the designs of the universe, from atoms, flowers, seashells to the human body and galaxies and are based. W. Bradford Paley: Map of science image in the journal Nature. Update: This has now been published in many more places: the original Nature article, Discover Magazine, SEED, Geo, the Eastern European Edition and India, Brazil, etc., and more books and papers.
Since the image has proven to be popular (we still get print & publication requests, four lears later!) , I decided to rework the existing image layers, modifying only the graphical representation—no structure—to see whether I could improve the information layering and remedy some of the faults I outline at the bottom of this page. Here's the new version: I was surprised at how much clearer it could be made. I think the new one has many of the structural faults I outlined below, but improves several things: We come from the future. This is, for the most part, an accurate article, except for a few statements.
"Exactly what makes a fermion a fermion is a bit complicated, but suffice it to say that fermions are all the particles that deal with matter. So what about the last group of elementary particles, the ones that don't deal with matter? These are the bosons, and they deal with the fundamental forces of the universe. " The statements above can be misinterpreted as suggesting that fermions are defined as particles that deal with matter and bosons are defined as particles that deal with forces. And that is not true. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth. Translated by Doreal Preface Tablet I: The History of Thoth, The Atlantean.
Esoteric Hebrew Names of God. What is the "best" Hebrew Name of God?
Some of the Jewish sages have said that it is revealed by reciting all 304,805 letters of the Torah in a series. That is, string together all 304,805 letters of the Torah - from the first letter of Bereshit (Bet) through the last letter of Devarim (Lamed) - and "read" this as a single "Word. " Of course, we should also add the letters for the Prophets (neviim) and the Writings (ketuvim) to the Torah's 304,805 letters, not to mention the 138,020 words of the Greek New Testament. Discrete time. Discrete time[edit] Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period").
Thus a variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from time period to the next. This view of time corresponds to a digital clock that gives a fixed reading of 10:37 for a while, and then jumps to a new fixed reading of 10:38, etc. In this framework, each variable of interest is measured once at each time period. The number of measurements between any two time periods is finite. Writing Circuits on Graphene. Using a heated atomic force microscope tip, researchers have drawn nanoscale conductive patterns on insulating graphene oxide.
This simple trick to control graphene oxide's conductivity could pave the way for etching electronic circuits into the carbon material, an important advance toward high-speed, low-power, and potentially cheaper computer processors. Graphene, an atom-thick carbon sheet, is a promising replacement for silicon in electronic circuits, since it transports electrons much faster. What is Magick? "Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." - Aleister Crowley "Magick is the art of causing changes in consciousness in conformity with the Will." - Dion Fortune "…We will confine ourselves to an extension of a well-known definition by Aleister Crowley and state that, "Magic is the Science and Art of causing Change, on a material as well as a spiritual level, to occur in conformity with Will by altered states of consciousness." - Frater U.: D.:, Secrets of Western Sex Magic "A magical act may be defined as causing reality to conform to will." - Phil Hine, 'Undoing Yourself with Chaos Magic', Rebels and Devils "Magick is just the art of changing the focus of consciousness at will." - Robert Anton Wilson, The Earth Will Shake "Sorcery: the systematic cultivation of enhanced consciousness or non-ordinary awareness & its deployment in the world of deeds & objects to bring about desired results." - Hakim Bey, T.A.Z.

In 1884, The Salvation Army established homes in London, England, under the leadership of Mrs. Bramwell Booth, the daughter-in-law of The Salvation Army's founder, William Booth. These homes were intended for destitute women, and young expectant mothers.
When these homes made it to America, the Army realized that pregnant women needed different care and in 1887, the Army opened its first maternity style Home and Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.
In early January 1923, The Salvation Army in Central Virginia, with assistance and guidance from the Interdenominational Welfare League, opened the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital at 2701 Fifth Avenue in Highland Park.
This home and hospital was the brainchild of the Interdenominational Welfare League, consisting of representatives from 25 area churches. In 1920, these representatives were tasked with establishing a home for pregnant and unwed women and girls in the Richmond area.
For the next few years, these individuals studied various Salvation Army homes in the Northeast in an effort to combat the fears and impressions of many Richmonders, that, according to a Richmond Times-Dispatch article dated January 7, 1923, "a home of this kind would be a menace to society, encouraging viciousness and immortality."
This same article states that the individuals this home would serve would be those, "who have for any reason become misfits in the social structure of life, thereby disqualifying them for entrance into other places."
When these studies were complete, the Interdenominational Welfare League decided that they should throw their efforts behind The Salvation Army in Richmond, and that a partnership together could lead to the opening of a home and hospital in Central Virginia.
In June 1922, representatives from The Salvation Army, the Interdenominational Welfare League and the Russell Sage Foundation met with Governor Elbert Lee Trinkle at the Governor's Mansion and the process to bring a home and hospital to Richmond was well under way.
A few months later, the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital opened its doors with a "Donation Day" and dozens of local merchants presented The Salvation Army with donations of money and goods.
Colonel Margaret Boville, The Salvation Army Eastern United States Social Services Director, attended the "Donation Day" and stated, "you have laid the foundation for a work which will mean great things for your city."
This Home and Hospital, under the direction of a Salvation Army officer and an approved medical staff, provided medical care, counseling and spiritual guidance for unwed mothers and pregnant teenage girls who sought assistance.
The medical staff consisted of obstetricians, pediatricians and various other medical doctors with a wide array of specialties.
While many of the Home and Hospital's residents' families aided financially in their stay, no female was denied admittance because of an inability to meet such costs.
As demand grew in the late 1940's, an expansion became inevitable as the capacity of the Home and Hospital was deemed inadequate by Salvation Army staff, and in December 1952, an expansion of the facility was completed. This new addition included 30 beds, a laboratory and delivery room equipment.
In the 1950's, The Salvation Army operated 34 maternity homes nationwide and the Richmond home was widely considered by Salvation Army officials to be one of the best.
During that time, the median age of an Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital resident was 18, with some as young as 14 and as old as 34, and many of the children born, around 75%, would be placed with an adoption agency upon discharge.
The Salvation Army did not place children for adoption, but would assist in referring the mother to a licensed adoption agency, should that be the mother's personal wish.
In 1968, the delivery and nursery departments at the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital were closed, but the home continued to operate as a maternity care home until 1973, when a shift in society's views surrounding unwed mothers and numerous other factors caused the home to close its doors and its services were consolidated with the Home and Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
During the course of its 50 years in operation, the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital served an estimated 3,294 women from throughout Virginia and West Virginia.
The Salvation Army internationally still operates 41 homes for women and babies.
