POSTED: Saturday, March 23, 2013 - 4:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, March 23, 2013 - 4:04am
SORRENTO, LA (NBC33) — Early voting across the state begins Saturday, and for Sorrento, it's out with the old and in with the new. They'll be voting for a mayor, and say they've already made up their minds.
They say who ever wins needs to help push the town past its reputation of not being able to get things done.
"You talk to people and they find out you're from Sorrento all they do is laugh at you. They make fun of your little town. This is our home. It's nothing to laugh at or make fun of," Lionel Melancon, Jr., Sorrento Resident, said.
Melancon said for the past few years there's been a lot of bickering at town hall. Several councilmen and a mayor resigned giving the town a bad reputation.
"It would get so heated fifteen minutes after the meeting started you had to adjourn, before it got out of hand," Melancon explained.
Melancon said all the fighting made it hard to get any business done in Sorrento, and the new mayor must be able to keep the peace.
"If you're going to be the mayor, you're going to have to take control," Melancon described.
Republicans Jason Adams and "Mike" Lambert along with Democrat Wilson Longanecker, Sr., are all running for mayor.
"Repeat candidates. They keep on going the same way doing the same thing," James Kirkland, Sorrento Resident, said.
Kirkland lives in Sorrento, he says this years crop of candidates aren't want the town needs. He wants to see a new batch of candidates for the job.
"I think it has to come from within our town. Somewhere, somebody has got to be willing to step up to do the job," Kirkland described.
Both men say who ever wins only needs to do one thing help restore the towns reputation.
Other items are on the ballot across the state, and early voting begins Saturday morning.
Polls are open from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

See V. O. Key, Politics, Parties and Pressure Groups (5th ed. 1964); S. M. Lipset and S. Rokkan, ed., Party Systems and Voter Alignments (1967); R. S. Katz, A Theory of Parties and Electoral Systems (1981); R. L. McCormick, ed., Political Parties and the Modern State (1984); K. Von Beyme, Political Parties in Western Democracies (1985).
Campaign costs in the United States have become enormous, with political advertising, especially television, being the greatest expense. As a result, parties and candidates need to raise many millions of dollars. Financial contributions by corporations, labor unions, and other other organizations, individuals, and federal employees as well as expenditures by the parties' national committees have been restricted by law. Closer regulation of contributions was attempted by establishment of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) in 1974 and 1976; the FEC provides public financing in return for spending limits.
In the late 1990s, however, the FEC negated some of its own rules and weakened the restrictions. Additionally, political action committees are permitted as private campaign-funding vehicles, and unlimited "soft money" may be raised by political parties (as opposed to candidates) for "party development" (nearly $500 million in 2000). Also, a number of presidential candidates, beginning with George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential campaign, have chosen to forgo public financing in order to avoid the associated spending limits. Thus the reforms have not slowed the escalating cost of campaigns.
Attempts in the late 1990s to revamp the way national political campaigns are financed were successfully filibustered in the U.S. Senate, but in 2002 Congress passed legislation to eliminate soft money on the national level and restrict it on the state and local level while increasing the amount that could be donated to a candidate. The bill also restricted the ability of political action committees to mention candidates by name immediately before an election. That and the provisions regarding soft money were challenged in court but narrowly upheld (2003) by the Supreme Court. In 2007, however, a more conservative Court narrowed the restrictions on political action committees, and in 2009 the Court narrowly overturned its 2003 decision in part and declared a significant portion of the 2002 legislation unconstitutional when it ruled that Congress could not limit independent expenditures by corporations during elections.
In Great Britain the system of parliamentary government permits the overthrow of the cabinet by a vote of no confidence at any time, and, compared with U.S. congressional elections, this results in a more unified party campaign. British parliamentary and local elections are never held concurrently; campaigns are short and intensive, and party expenditures are comparatively very moderate and are fixed by law.
See V. O. Key, Politics, Parties and Pressure Groups (5th ed. 1964); L. Overacker, Presidential Campaign Funds (1991); J. Pollock, Party Campaign Funds (1991); P. Stern, The Best Congress Money (1991).
Academic discipline concerned with the empirical study of government and politics. Political scientists have investigated the nature of states, the functions performed by governments, voter behaviour, political parties, political culture, political economy, and public opinion, among other topics. Though it has roots in the political philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, political science in the modern sense did not begin until the 19th century, when many of the social sciences were established. Its empirical and generally scientific orientation is traceable to the work of Henri de Saint-Simon and Auguste Comte. The first institution dedicated to its study, the Free School of Political Science, was founded in Paris in 1871.

Branch of philosophy that analyzes the state and related concepts such as political obligation, law, social justice, and constitution. The first major work of political philosophy in the Western tradition was Plato's Republic. Aristotle's Politics is a detailed empirical study of political institutions. The Roman tradition is best exemplified by Cicero and Polybius. St. Augustine's City of God began the tradition of Christian political thinking, which was developed by Thomas Aquinas. Niccolò Machiavelli studied the nature and limits of political power. Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan (1651) raised the problem of political obligation in its modern form. Hobbes was followed by Benedict de Spinoza, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the exposition of a social-contract theory. This was rejected by David Hume and also by G.W.F. Hegel, whose Philosophy of Right (1821) was fundamental for 19th-century political thought. Hegel's defense of private property stimulated Karl Marx's critique of it. John Stuart Mill developed Jeremy Bentham's utilitarian theory of law and political institutions, so as to reconcile them with individual liberty. In the 20th century John Dewey sought to counteract the dehumanizing aspects of modern capitalist society through a freer form of education. Until the end of the Cold War, the field of political philosophy was characterized by a division between Marxists and more traditional liberal thinkers, as well as by disagreements between left- and right-leaning liberals, such as John Rawls and Robert Nozick (1938–2002), respectively. From the 1970s, feminist political philosophy drew attention to the apparent gendered nature of many concepts and problems in Western political philosophy, especially autonomy, rights, liberty, and the public-private distinction.

In U.S. politics, the practice by political parties of rewarding partisans and workers after winning an election. Proponents claim it helps maintain an active party organization by offering supporters jobs and contracts. Critics charge that it awards appointments to the unqualified and is inefficient because even jobs unrelated to public policy change hands after an election. In the U.S., the Pendleton Civil Service Act (1883) was the first step in introducing the merit system in the hiring of government workers. The merit system has almost completely replaced the spoils system. Seealso civil service.

Group of persons organized to acquire and exercise political power. Formal political parties originated in their modern form in Europe and the U.S. in the 19th century. Whereas mass-based parties appeal for support to the whole electorate, cadre parties aim at attracting only an active elite; most parties have features of both types. All parties develop a political program that defines their ideology and sets out the agenda they would pursue should they win elective office or gain power through extraparliamentary means. Most countries have single-party, two-party, or multiparty systems (see party system). In the U.S., party candidates are usually selected through primary elections at the state level.

In U.S. politics, a political organization that controls enough votes to maintain political and administrative control of its community. The rapid growth of cities in the 19th century created huge problems for city governments, which were often poorly organized and unable to provide services. Enterprising politicians were able to win support by offering favours, including patronage jobs and housing, in exchange for votes. Though machines often helped to restructure city governments to the benefit of their constituents, they just as often resulted in poorer service (when jobs were doled out as political rewards), corruption (when contracts or concessions were awarded in return for kickbacks), and aggravation of racial or ethnic hostilities (when the machine did not reflect the city's diversity). Reforms, suburban flight, and a more mobile population with fewer ties to city neighbourhoods have weakened machine politics. Famous machines include those of William Magear Tweed (New York), James Michael Curley (Boston), Thomas Pendergast (Kansas City, Mo.), and Richard J. Daley (Chicago). Seealso civil service.

Form of social or political philosophy in which practical elements are as prominent as theoretical ones. The term was coined in 1796 by the French writer Antoine-Louis-Claude, Comte Destutt de Tracy (b. 1754—d. 1836), as a label for his "science of ideas." Certain characteristics of his thought proved generally true of ideologies, including a more or less comprehensive theory of society, a political program, anticipation of a struggle to implement that program (thus requiring committed followers), and intellectual leadership. Destutt de Tracy's ideas were adopted by the French Revolutionary government in building its version of a democratic, rational, and scientific society (see Directory). Napoleon first gave the term a negative connotation with his scorn for what he called idéologues. Ideology is often contrasted unfavourably with pragmatism. The significance of ideology follows from the fact that power is rarely exercised without some ideas or beliefs that justify support.

Academic discipline that explores the relationship between individuals and society and between markets and the state, using methods drawn from economics, political science, and sociology. The term is derived from the Greek terms polis (city or state) and oikonomos (one who manages a household). Political economy is thus concerned with how countries are managed, taking into account both political and economic factors. The field today encompasses several areas of inquiry, including the politics of economic relations, domestic political and economic issues, the comparative study of political and economic systems, and the study of international political economy.

In politics, a meeting of members of a political party at the local, state, or national level to select party leaders and candidates for office and to determine party policy. During presidential election years in the U.S., the main parties hold conventions that serve to showcase their presidential and vice presidential candidates and to boost the morale of party members for the campaigns that follow. Conventions were instituted in the U.S. in the 1830s to replace the often exclusive and secretive caucus system; it was hoped that the conventions' openness would make them less vulnerable to control by party bosses. Most candidates for political office at all levels in the U.S. are now nominated through primary elections, and the conventions merely ratify the candidates already selected by the voters. Political parties in other countries (e.g., Great Britain) often hold annual party conferences.

Protection from arrest and extradition given to political refugees by a country or by an embassy that has diplomatic immunity. No one has a legal right to asylum, and the sheltering state, which has the legal right to grant asylum, is under no obligation to give it. It is thus a right of the state, not the individual. Its traditional use has been to protect those accused of political offenses such as treason, desertion, sedition, and espionage. Beginning in the 20th century, asylum also was granted to those who could demonstrate a significant risk of politically motivated persecution if they returned to their home countries.

In U.S. politics, an organization whose purpose is to raise and distribute campaign funds to candidates seeking political office. PACs rose to prominence after the Federal Election Campaign Act (1971) limited the amount of money any corporation, union, or private individual could give to a candidate. PACs were able to circumvent these limits by soliciting smaller contributions from a much larger number of individuals. During the late 20th and early 21st centuries the vast amounts of money raised by PACs greatly increased the cost of running for office and led to efforts to reform this method of financing campaigns.

Various groups along the political spectrum naturally differ on what they believe constitutes "true" political freedom.
Left wing political philosophy generally couples the notion of freedom with that of positive liberty, or the enabling of an individual to realize her own potential. Freedom, in this sense, may include freedom from poverty, starvation, treatable disease, and oppression, as well as freedom from force and coercion, from whomever they may issue.
However Friedrich Hayek, a well-known classical liberal, criticized this as a misconception of freedom, instead emphasizing the aspects of negative liberty.
Hayek also famously noted that "liberty" and "freedom" have probably been the most abused words in recent history.
In contrast, Milton Friedman, another classical liberal, strongly incorporated the absence from coercion into his description of political freedom.
Many social anarchists see negative and positive liberty as complementary concepts of freedom. They describe the negative liberty-centric view endorsed by capitialists as "selfish freedom". According to Anarchism FAQ
Some treat freedom as if it were almost synonymous with democracy, while others see conflicts or even opposition between the two concepts. For example, some people argue that Iraq was free under Paul Bremer on the grounds that it was a rational, humanist, non-subjugating government, long before elections were held . Others have argued that Iraq was free under Saddam Hussein because Iraq was not a colony , while a third claim is that neither dictatorial nor colonial rule in Iraq are examples of political freedom.
Environmentalists often argue that political freedoms should include some constraint on use of ecosystems. They maintain there is no such thing, for instance, as "freedom to pollute" or "freedom to deforest" given that such activities create negative externalities. The popularity of SUVs, golf, and urban sprawl has been used as evidence that some ideas of freedom and ecological conservation can clash. This leads at times to serious confrontations and clashes of values reflected in advertising campaigns, e.g. that of PETA regarding fur.
There have been numerous philosophical debates over the nature of freedom, the claimed differences between various types of freedom, and the extent to which freedom is desirable. Determinists argue that all human actions are pre-determined and thus freedom is an illusion. Isaiah Berlin saw a distinction between negative liberty and positive liberty.
In jurisprudence, freedom is the right to determine one's own actions autonomously ; generally it is granted in those fields in which the subject has no obligations to fulfill or laws to obey, according to the interpretation that the hypothetical natural unlimited freedom is limited by the law for some matters.
Joseph Garcia(Not the politition) states his belief that freedom in politics is generally used as a governing tool: "For what we call freedom is given only to those who obey, it is then when you stand for what you believe and fight back against oppression you lose those freedoms, and when what is taken away should be your inalienable rights what choice does one have but to obey?"

Let nature take its course and know that Brian and his crew are just as anxious to gently and lovingly hand over your home to you as soon as it has all of its fingers and toes and is ready to breathe on its own!

Judge Imposes Lifetime Supervised Release
ALAN D. BECKER, 50, of Vancouver, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to ten years in prison and lifetime supervised release for Possession of Child Pornography. U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle said child pornography does tremendous harm to the victims.
According to the criminal complaint filed in May 2008, on November 20, 2007, a Vancouver Police Officer was called to an apartment complex on East 5th Street in Vancouver. At the manager's apartment the officer encountered a woman who said she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, ALAN BECKER. BECKER had left the apartment complex. The woman invited the officer into her apartment and explained that she had fought with BECKER, and that at one point he had grabbed her by the hair and ripped the phone from her hand and broke it in two to prevent her from calling 9-1-1. The woman alleged that BECKER had child pornography on his computer and on various disks. The woman provided the computer and the disks to the officer. BECKER was arrested later that night on the domestic violence charge. BECKER pleaded guilty September 29, 2008.
A review of the computer and materials taken from BECKER's home revealed 448 images of child pornography and 475 movie files of child pornography. Some of the pornography was obtained over the internet via peer to peer file sharing programs. BECKER also has a 1983 conviction in Oregon for third degree Rape involving a child under 16-years-old.
In asking for the ten year sentence and lifetime supervision, Assistant United States Attorney Mike Dion wrote to the court that BECKER is a danger to children. "Besides collecting child pornography, Becker also collected media reports on children who had been abducted and murdered by sexual predators. This man gets his sexual pleasure from reading about the abuse, torture, and murder of children, and his history proves that his interest in children goes beyond fantasy," Mr. Dion wrote in his sentencing memo.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In February 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice launched Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov .
The case was investigated by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) (with assistance from the VPD-Clark County Sheriff's Office Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael Dion.

I don't regard this as terribly useful. In some instances it may be OK to terminate the old instance of the app, and start a fresh instance with the new document. However, other times you may wish to start the new document in a new tab in the same application, etc. etc.
Some problems
- In the platsec world, files are generally available only by handle. This is because a file may be in a private location inaccessible to the handling process. You cannot work backwards from a handle to a file name.
- In the platsec world, command line arguments are passed in environment slots. Once you read the data in an environment slot, it is gone for good.
- Because of the above, only the first call to CApaCommandLineArguments::GetCommandLineFromProcessEnvironment is ever going to return any meaningful results in any given process.
- The application framework call EikStart::RunApplication parses the command line before you ever get a chance to look at it.
- It isn't (seemingly) possible to get the command line arguments before the application's CEikAppUi derived class is instantiated.
- And finally, to close the circle, if an existing application instance is already running CEikApplication::PreDocConstructL will raise that instance of the app and exit the process.
These problems aren't insurmountable, we just have to bypass the standard application startup process if an instance of this application already exists.
Notifying an existing application instance of a new file
The following code will check if the application is already running on startup, raise it if it is and get the command line parameters for the current process:
const TUid KMyAppUid = { 0xDEADBEEF };
TInt IsAlreadyRunning(TBool& aRunning)
aRunning = EFalse;
RWsSession ws;
TInt err = ws.Connect();
if (KErrNone == err)
TInt wgId = 0;
TUid uid(KMyAppUid);
CApaWindowGroupName::FindByAppUid(uid, ws, wgId);
if (wgId >= 0)
/* task exists, raise it to the front and notify that a running instance exists */
aRunning = ETrue;
TApaTask task(ws);
return err;
TInt NotifyRunningInstanceOfNewFile()
CApaCommandLine* cmdl = NULL;
TInt err = CApaCommandLine::GetCommandLineFromProcessEnvironment(cmdl);
if (KErrNone == err)
/* do something useful with the file passed to us in the parameters */
delete cmdl;
return err;
TInt E32Main()
TBool running = EFalse;
TInt err = IsAlreadyRunning(running);
if (KErrNone == err)
if (!running)
err = EikStart::RunApplication(NewApplication);
err = NotifyRunningInstanceOfNewFile();
return err;
Things you can potentially do to notify the existing process include things as sophisticated using a semaphore (RSemaphore) and RFile::TransferToProcess, or as simple minded as copying the file to the process' private directory and using RFs::Notify to detect new files.

Philippines Marriage | K3 & CR-1 Visa Philippine Requirements and Laws for Philippines Applicants
Any foreigner who wishes to marry in the Philippines is required by the Philippine Government to obtain from his/her Embassy a "Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" before filing an application for a marriage license.
The Government also accepts an "Affidavit in lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage." The U.S. citizen must, execute this affidavit at the American Embassy in Manila by Obtaining a Legal Capacity to Marry in Embassy Manila are by appointment only., or at the Consular Agency in Cebu Monday through Friday 9:00am – 11:00am no appointment needed.
The American must present his/her U.S. passport, and there is a fee of U.S. $50.00 for executing the affidavit. Philippine authorities will not accept any substitute document initiated in the United States.

Find out more from Philippines U.S. Consulate. Book an Appointment for the US Embassy of Manila Embassy of the United States Manila Philippines Map IMPORTANT NOTICE: Execution of the affidavit is a notarial act by the U.S. consular officer and, as such, the consular officer is authorized by Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 92.9b, to refuse to perform the service if the document in connection with which the notarial act is requested will be used for a purpose patently unlawful, improper, or inimical to the best interests of the United States. Entering into a marriage contract with an alien strictly for the purpose of immigration to the United States for that individual is considered an unlawful act. Section 4221 of Title 22 United States Code provides penalties for individuals who commit perjury in an affidavit taken by a consular officer. |
THE MARRIAGE APPLICATION PROCESS Once an American citizen has obtained from the Embassy an "Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage," he/she can file an application for a marriage license at the office of the Philippine Civil Registrar in the town or city where one of the parties is a resident. The U.S. Citizen applicant will need to present: (A) the affidavit, (B) divorce decrees or death certificate(s) required to verify civil status and legal capacity to contract marriage, (C) U.S. passport, and (D)documentation regarding parental consent or advice, if applicable. (Marriage applicants aged 18 to 21 must have written parental consent. Those aged 22 to 24 must have received parental advice.) Philippine law prohibits marriage for individuals under the age of 18. A judge, a minister or other person authorized by the Government of the Philippines can perform the marriage. Marriage to a U.S. citizen confers neither citizenship nor an automatic eligibility for entry to the United States. An immigrant visa is required for a foreign spouse to live in the United States. Questions about filing an immigrant visa petition to bring a foreign spouse to the United States should be directed to the nearest office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the State Department's Visa Office or, while in the Philippines, to the U.S. Embassy immigrant visa unit in Manila. |

How to Get Married in the Philippines
Getting married in the Philippines requires some preparation. Whether you are an alien or a local, you need to meet certain requirements. After you get your marriage license, you can have either a civil wedding or a church wedding, or both. Either would be legally binding under Philippine law.

Getting Help From Linux - Part 2 Info
Well here we are again, at part two of the 'Getting Help from Linux' series. In this blog post I'll be talking about using Info to get help from Linux. In my previous post I spoke about how Info came about, but just in case you missed it I'll give you another quick lesson. Gnu Info was created by the Free Software Foundation and in my experience is used by all of Gnu's software for their version of 'man' pages. Info may contain much more information than what you can find in Man pages, and sometimes contains much more than you ever really need. The good thing about Info is that it is a hypertext markup utility. This makes it much easier to navigate through via hyperlinks embedded in emacs, than simply using arrow keys to navigate through information. While Man uses the Less utility to control the display, the info utility itself is designed to display Info pages. For those of you familiar with emacs, it appears the layout may be the same, along with some of the basic navigation. But that's where the two applications can differ. If you're using the Info application then your commands will be different than if you're viewing info files in Emacs. This article is about reading Info pages inside of info.
Layout and Navigation
Okay, I won't lie, navigation in emacs makes my head spin. For some people this may come naturally, for those of us that have lived on vi all their lives the old adage 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' really hits home when it comes to figuring out all of the emacs tips and tricks. If anyone has actually gone through gnu.org's website on the Texinfo manual you know what I'm talking about. The document on how to use Texinfo is 36 pages long, quite a bit longer than navigating Man pages in Less. As far as layout goes, sections are broken down into what Info considers 'nodes', so if you see the reference to nodes in here then that's what I'm talking about. As stated earlier, the info documents are written in hypertext, which makes it easier to navigate through than Man pages. When you first execute 'info <name>' you are presented with the index for the subject that you are looking for. Now before you start hyperventilating, think of the Info layout as a Tree (Top Node) with various branches spanning from the tree (Individual Nodes). The Branches just point back to the main 'branch'.
Before I get ahead of myself, let me first explain the main window.
At the bottom of your window is what is called the Mode Line. The mode line just describes what you are viewing above, including information about the file, the node, number of lines, compression information, etc. Here are some examples and explanations of Mode Lines:
zz-Info: (festival.info.gz)Top, 58 lines --Top-- Subfile:
*zz=Compressed file, Info=Using Info to Navigate, festival.info.gz=name of
compressed files, 58 lines=Number of lines in node, festival.info-1.gz=Subfile
containing more information
zz-Info: (screen.info.gz)Commands, 27 lines --All-- Subfile: screen.info-1.gz
*zz=Compressed file, Info=Using Info, screen.info.gz=name of compressed file,
27 lines=number of lines in node, screen.info-1.gz=Subfile containing more
This might be useful to some, especially if you want to get your hands on the info file for further analysis. When you first open the document, at the top of the document you will see something like this: File: festival.info, Node: Top, Up: (dir). File is festival.info, Node is Top, Up is main directory.
That takes care of the layout portion of Info, there are many more advanced layout portions that you can get into if you wish to explore this further, such as moving windows and texts, echo areas, and so on and so forth. But as this is just a basic guide to getting information with Info, I won't be covering that here. However, if you do want more information on this, some of your basic emacs commands work just as well in Info, so if you're familiar with emacs you
won't have a problem with windowing with your info pages
How about navigation? If you know how to navigate around vim or emacs then this will be a piece of cake. I haven't gone into the advanced topics of navigation for a reason. Advanced topics include windowing, manipulating windows, moving text in windows, and so on and so forth.
Below is a table that outlines your basic navigation. The 'C' character is your Ctrl key, and 'M' stands for Meta. For some people Meta is Alt, and for some it's the Esc key. So if a key binding calls for 'C-n' that would mean hold down your Ctrl key and push the letter n.
Next Line: C-n or <Down> arrow key
Previous Line: C-p or <Up> arrow key
Beginning of Line: C-a or <Home> key
End of Line: C-e or <End> key
Forward 1 Character: C-f or <Right> arrow key
Backward 1 Character: C-b or <Left> arrow key
Forward 1 Word: M-f or C-<Right> arrow key
Backward 1 Word: M-b or C-<Left> arrow key
Beginning of Node: M-<
End of Node: M->
End of Current Node: e Quit q
Selecting Nodes:
Next Node: n
Previous Node: p
Up a Node: u
Last Node Viewed: l
Top Node: t
Directory Node: d
First Node: <
Last Node: >
Global Next Node: ]
Global Previous Node: [
From this table you can see that Man navigation and Info navigation can both be navigated with arrow keys, but then there are added commands for moving around nodes. Keep in mind though, hypertext language is being used and there is a lot more information in Info pages than there are in Man pages. So because of this, there had to be a way of navigating the complex labyrinths of indexes.
Searching Info Pages
Well now that you've figured out how to get around Info pages, it's time to find what you're looking for. Just like with Man, you can do apropos searches from the command line to search every index of all Info files for keywords with: info --apropos=string , or info -x string. This will list all instances where the string is listed. Now what do you do once you're actually in the lengthly Info page and need to find information? Well there's an app command for that!
Search Forward: s(string) or /(string)
Search Backwards: ?(string)
Search Case-Sensitive: S(string)
Next word in Search: n
Next word Case-Sensitive: N
Interactively Search Forwards: C-s(string)
Interactively Search Backwards: C-r(string)
Index Search: i(string)
Next Index Search: ,
As you can see, some of the search keywords are just like vim commands, so if you're familiar with Vim, this should be a piece of cake. One of the gems to searching Info was given to me by some resourceful people in #linuxjournal that were more educated in emacs than myself.. I'll confess, if you can't tell, I'm a beginner at emacs as I have spent my entire Linux career in vi. So it goes without saying that I'll take any and every hint that I can when it comes to learning new and interesting things. Daddoo pointed out that he jumps to a named node in info pages by doing the following:
1. m - Brings up Menu Item (info specific)
2. Type in First letter of what you are looking for 'ex' for example
3. Tab 1 or 2 times to search Info for the node you are looking for, then select the node to view the page
Maybe to you veteran emacs users out there this might seem trivial, but this ended up being such an awesome and easy command. Before I would just arrow key down to what I was looking for and push enter to bring up the node. Ah, the simple joys in life.
Well there you have it, the end of a two part series on getting help from Linux with Man/Info. As you can see each one of these utilities has their strengths and weaknesses. If I was a betting man I would think that more and more help pages are going to be included in Info pages as it contains more information than your typical Man page, and eventually manpages will be pointers to Info. Do I think that is going to happen any time soon? Doubtful, as I'm a crusty old bugger when it comes to Man Pages. I do realize that when that day comes I'll need plenty of time to adapt to Info and emacs.
You think this will turn people on to Linux?....
What is this? Some kind of forced initiation rite? A version of hazing like sororities and fraternities put their applicants through before they get to join the "IN click?
How many people still use Emacs? Less than 5% of total Linux users would be my guess and for all practical purposes 0% of the people who have switched to Linux in last 10 years--which are the majority of Linux users.
Most Linux applications, even many Command Line apps have settled on a common command key syntax that is used for things you have to do in all apps like; copy, paste, find, select, open, close, print, etc., etc., etc. Why can't programs that are the main source of help information for Linux do this?
I was a ham radio operator in the 70s and in the 80s when cell phones and then computers became common--at that time the kids were interested in packet radio and experimenting with what you could do with computers and radio. The old hams were not... and up until the late 90s were still insisting you had to learn 15 words a minute of Morse code before they would give you a license with full privileges.
At this point in time there was no practical reason for new hams to know Morse code because of the evolution of communication technology. Unfortunately the "Young" never like being forced to do anything, especially if it is difficult, so by the late 90s the majority of ham radio operators were in their 80s and the number of young people wanting to "join the club" was almost zero compared to the 1970s or so. They have finally changed most of those old Morse code requirements--but it was too late.
The old guard with their "They forced me to learn it, now it's my turn to torture you" attitude destroyed the interest in at least 2 generations in ham radio and hobby electronics. Is that what you are trying to do with "new" Linux and Unix users? What you are saying is: "You gotta learn Emacs and Vi commands before you can use help files"--just like I did--instead of being able to use all the commands they learned browsing the net, writing emails and playing with their digital camera files.
I thought Linux man pages were retarded 12 years ago when I switched from Windows to Linux and I think man pages and the "new" info format are even more stupid today.
It seems like the modern attitude by programmers toward users in general is "Don't worry, they will figure it out!" (their justification for never writing documentation I think). But the reality is they will more than likely go back to Windows. Especially since Windows 7 more or less seems to work now, unlike all the older versions (I'm ignoring security and privacy issues).
What do I suggest? The HTML format since every computer in the world can display it and it has lots of features that make it easier to read--or if you want a more compact integral solution use the epub format. Either choice would make far more sense to the latest generation of users, than something that was created in the 1970s and earlier--by engineers for engineers.
All the new OSs and windowing systems are oriented towards content consumption instead of content production.
--Steve Daniels 2013
Greatest lot of rubbish....
Whoever came up with info needs counselling. Seriously.
I use man because it provides a quick and easy summary. If I want more, I'll use the html docs, either online, or increasingly showing up in package downloads. They provide a structured set of information that you can actually use without a university degree in the subject of getting help.
What I don't want to do is learn a whole new command set just to be able to access some documentation. Has anybody actually done "info info"? Great tutorial, guys.
"If you want to go somewhere else, just press the control and shift keys three times in backward sequences, stand on your head, and recite the names of all the Nobel prizewinners in chemistry since 1930. See how easy it is!!"
May have been ok in the 1970's. Not now.
also check out 'pinfo' package
If you don't like Info's Emacs-style navigation, also check out "Pinfo" (find a package in your distro by that name and install it). Like Info, it looks first for an Info document matching your request, then falls back on a Man page, but it displays it in a "lynx-style" browser instead of Emacs.
For help, run `pinfo pinfo` and navigate to Keybindings.
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.

Joe Prunty has been an assistant head coach for most of his basketball tenure. He joined the Brooklyn Nets new coaching staff under the request of Jason Kidd. Now, Prunty will be spending time overseas as a head coach, an offer he never received in the NBA according to ESPN.
Follow @NetsTakeOver
This is a great honor. So it wasn't so much a strategic thing. British Basketball came to me and said, 'Do you want to go through an interview process and see how it works out?' said Prunty.Coach Prunty will be leading Great Britain's team in the EuroBasket 2013, which runs from September 4th to September 22nd. With no real coaching experience overseas, where the game and rules are different, Prunty seeked the advice of several other coaches in the NBA who do.
"I reached out to other guys I know," he says. "Like Brett Brown, who has had a lot of years with Australia, like Nate [McMillan] with Team USA. I didn't speak to him recently but I've talked a lot with [Mavericks GM] Donnie Nelson about his experiences with Lithuania. Del Harris about China. That was invaluable. I came in hopefully with a good feel for what was involved."With the pressure of leading a group of unproven players (Luol Deng among others in the Olympics chose not to play in the EuroBasket tournament), Prunty looks forward to seeing what comes out of it.
"...I promise you, at some point during this game, you will see something spectacular that you probably haven't seen before. And at that moment in time, you'll go, 'Wow.' That's basketball. Whether you're with an Under-16 team, a men's team, the Euroleague Final Four, an NBA game, a college game, or a playground somewhere in the world, you'll see something that will be incredible to watch."If anybody needs proof of that, YouTube is the answer. That's what sports is about. Nothing is predictable. Even with inexperienced players there are moments that amaze you. That's why Prunty took the head coaching job, for the excitement and new experience.
"There were numerous stages of interviews, going through the detail, asking for details," he says. "This process was extremely extensive in time and detail. It was never about me getting better. Sure, I know that's part of the equation, but it was really about the excitement of the opportunity."

Just five days after Junior Seau shot himself at his Oceanside home on May 2, someone broke into the house and stole a bike from Seau's garage, according to local police.
That news made its way to the public on Tuesday via the North County Times and, yes, it's as disgusting as you might imagine.
Seau was honored by friends and family on Friday night, and yet there was someone out there that felt compelled to break into the late linebacker's garage via the doggie door and steal a bike.
According to police, the bike is a basic beach cruiser (though more valuable), and it was the only thing stolen from the house. Additionally, no other rooms were broken into.
Stealing a bike from a recently deceased man's house is just about the worst thing you can do, and the only good thing that comes from this piece of news is that the police have a solid description of the bike (grey with chrome fenders, a black seat and 143 spokes on each wheel).
–That way, the creep who decided to rob Seau's home will hopefully be caught by police.–

Are your gig posters official?
Yes, all my gig posters are done in conjunction with the band, band management or record label. Most of the posters are made available at the show, and a small amount are held back for me to sell on my website or at Flatstock.
How will my order be shipped to me?
All orders are shipped via USPS, with delivery confirmation and a tracking number. I don't have a shipping department or employees, so please be patient with my shipping turnarounds. Each poster is carefully rolled in a sheet of black kraft paper and placed in a sturdy shipping tube. Both ends are sealed carefully with packing tape for added security.
What about international orders?
Unfortunately, USPS does not offer a tracking numbers for international shipping, but I still put great care in packing up the poster tube so that it arrives safely. I try to get international orders out my door as soon as I can, but you should still allow 1-3 weeks for your poster(s) to arrive.
The poster I want is sold out, will you print more?
No. All my posters are limited editions, unless otherwise specified and will most likely not be printed again. In some cases I may choose to print a color variant, or re-purpose the art in a different format (t-shirt, postcard, etc).
If you have any other questions...let me know.

Pia Mia and Kanye may not have anything going on — but her Twitter feed sounds like it's not impossible. In a new message, she wrote about not being able to 'resist.' Is she talking about 'Ye?
Kim Kardashian is not going to be happy if Pia Mia's most recent tweets are about Kanye West. After calling the movie The Other Woman, the "story of her life," speculation ran that she was the other woman to Kanye.
Pia Mia Can't 'Resist' Kanye West?
Here at HollywoodLife.com, we still doubt the initial cheating report. Pia is just 17, and Kanye, 36, is engaged to Kim. We couldn't see him dating such a young woman.
However, she is talking about someone:
Who knows how long I can resist.
— Pia Mia (@princesspiamia) April 29, 2014
Pia, who became famous after covering Drake's hit "We're Coming Home," reportedly has been getting closer to Kanye.
"Kanye is producing some tracks for her and he's quite involved, a source told RadarOnline in March. "Kanye has made it clear to everyone that their relationship is strictly creative," but then "called her and the conversation sounded kind of flirty and romantic. It could be that they are just good friends but it was definitely more than just a professional call."
Pia & Kim Kardashian: Were They Friends?
Oddly enough, Kim does know Pia — and they were actually friends. She was invited to the Kardashian home a few months ago and Kim helped her out!
"I had no idea Drake was going to be there," Pia told MTV News about a dinner party she attended at Kylie Jenner's house. "I sit down and we're eating our salad and in the middle of eating, Kanye just, like, calls me out and says, 'Drake, you see Pia's got some cool fashion, she's a singer.'"
Kanye then talked to her into performing a cover of his song — and Kim posted it on her Keek channel, naturally gaining a ton of new fans. Before you know it, she had a music video out of her own.
So she kind of has Kim to thank for her career, right? Well, we're hoping that the reports of she and Kanye hooking up are completely false, since we know he's crazy in love with Kim. What do you think, HollywoodLifers — was Pia talking about Kanye in her tweet?

Oh STFU. She is talking about her on and off again BF. None of this dumb BS is true in the first place. She is signed to a different label and she's not even working with Kanye. Her only tie to kanye is that she's Kylie's friend. He doesn't even know her.
I wouldn't be surprised if she leaked the article herself since she's a known user who screwed over Bella Thorne and Kylie Jenner. She wants buzz for her music that's all.

What does your business use social media for? If you aren't using it as an early warning indicator, a Bat-signal to bring in the caped crusader and get your marketing programmes back on track when they start to falter, then you should be.
Social media streams are filled with your customers. Ideally, they would all be talking about you in glowing terms. More likely though is that much of the social media mentions you get will be bad. Because we humans tend to complain in spades when we can, but we aren't so good at letting the world know when something was awesome.
Sounds pretty bad but it isn't. Because most praise is useless to you. If you're doing things right that's great to know, but it doesn't really help you strive to do things better.
So what you really want to know from the social media streams you're being mentioned on is, what's going wrong, how wrong has it gone and what do you need to do in the way of programme adjustment?
Let's say you run a hotel and part of your overall programme (the basic structure of a visitor's stay) is that check out is 10am sharp, with the car park token running out at 10.30am. And let's also say that you interrogate Twitter to see who's mentioning your brand – and you find out it's full of people bemoaning the too-early checkout time and the fact that they then only have a half hour to vacate the parking lot before they get locked in and fined.
What do you do? You could get on the stream and start responding indignantly, this is hotel policy and always has been etc etc – or you could do something constructive and mould your programme to fit the consensus view. Have checkout at 11am and leave the car park token active until midday. Then you've used social media complaints to make appositive change to the way you do things – thereby avoiding the risk of your reputation for being intransigent spiralling out of control.
Customer service departments are just starting to cotton onto this. I recently had a poor experience at the hands of a phone company and posted a rant on their social media page. The customer service team got in touch with me on the page, so their response could be seen by all who visited. The result: proactive customer service proving a company's commitment to getting things right when they've started going wrong.
I recently heard a piece of great marketing wisdom: better programmes are better than reacting to problems. What that means is, when you use social media to find out what people think about you and why, you can forestall the existence of future problems for your brand by making adjustments in the systems you use to interact with your public.
So remember, next time you recoil in horror from something terrible someone is saying about your brand on Facebook: it's not a problem, it's an opportunity.


text: @kentuckycat: Carbon monoxide isn't good to breathe in, because it, unlike carbon dioxide, sticks to the red blood cells (RBC) and prevents them from carrying oxygen. The blood cells that touch the carbon monoxide essentially become useless since they can't get rid of it. When too many RBCs are "contaminated," the body can die, because there isn't enough oxygen being delivered. Hope I helped!

Download original files | Bookmark/share this page |
Review No.: 394/2007
In the case between:
CORAM: RAMPAI, J et MOLEMELA, AJ
[1] The matter came to court by way of a special review in terms of section 304(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act, No. 51 of 1977. The accused was charged for contravening section 65(1)(a) of Act No. 93 of 1996 – driving a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor or drugs. This was the main charge. The alternative charge was driving a motor vehicle while the alcohol concentration in his blood was not less than the permissible limit of 0,05 grams per 100ml in contravention of section 65(1(b) of Act No. 93 of 1996.
[2] The matter was assigned to me to review. The record reveals that the accused intended pleading guilty to the alternative charge of driving with an excessive alcohol concentration in his blood. He was not really required to plea. His intention was merely conveyed to the court by the prosecutor.
[3] As is the custom, the defence lawyer then stood up and confirmed that the accused had indeed instructed him to plead guilty on the alternative.
[4] The attorney then proceeded to read a written statement in terms of section 112(2) of Act, No. 51 of 1977. The statement reads:
"I, the undersigned
do hereby make the statement as follows:
I am the accused in this matter and make this statement freely, voluntarily and in my sober senses without undue influence.
I plead guilty to the offence of contravention of section 65(1)(b) read with section 65(2)(b), 89(1) + 2 (sic) of Act 93 of 1996 driving a motor vehicle with excessive percentage of alcohol in blood.
In that on the 19th November 2005 and on Riverside and Boiketlo road a public road in the district of Witsieshoek I wrongfully sat in the driver's seat of a motor vehicle to wit a Nissan Van with registration No. CNG244FS while the engine was running, or driving the said vehicle whilst the concentration of alcohol in a monster of blood drawn from any part of my body was not less that 0,05 gram per 100ml but was 0,20 gram per 100ml.
I admit that on the said day I had embibed (sic) intoxicating liquor to wit four (4) quarts of Castle Beer.
I further admit that the process followed from my arrest to the drawing of blood sample from my body as well as the analysis of the blood was in order.
I admit that the blood sample was extracted from my body within the prescribed time limit of two (2) hours.
I admit that I have seen the forensic certificate and admit the correctness thereof.
SIGNED on this 17th day of October 2006.
Accused signature: (SIGNATURE)
Witness: (SIGNATURE)"
[5] The accused was then asked to confirm the above written plea. He apparently did although his answer was indistinct. The state accepted the plea as tendered by the defence. The accused was, without more, convicted on the strength of his written plea on 17 October 2006.
[6] The magistrate then sentenced the accused on 8 December 2006 to a fine of R3 000,00 or 6 months imprisonment conditionally and wholly suspended for 24 months.
[7] On review I found the accused's written statement in terms of section 112(2) to be somewhat vague. He simply repeated the wording of section 65(1)(b). The section envisages two practical scenarios. The first is where a person with an excessive alcohol concentration in his blood sits on the driver's seat of a stationary motor vehicle whose engine is still running. The second is where a person with an excessive alcohol concentration in his blood manipulates a motor vehicle which is in motion. This distinction was not made by the accused in his written plea of guilty – vide paragraph 2 thereof.
[8] The result is that the statement in terms of section 112(2) failed to state pertinently in what way the accused contravened section 65(1)(b) read with related provisions of the relevant legislation. It appears to me that neither the prosecutor nor the magistrate appreciated the aforesaid distinction in the section and the defect in the written plea.
[9] On 17 October 2006 the magistrate noted on form j15 where he was required to state the judgment:
"Guilty as pleaded as charged."
Vide page 4 of the paginated court record.
As we have seen there was the main charge and there was the alternative charge in the instant case – section 65(1)(a) and section 65(1)(b) respectively. To describe the verdict in the circumstances by noting, as the magistrate did, is unhelpful and undesirable. Where the accused had faced one charge only, it is not wrong to say guilty as charged. But even in such a situation it is unconventional to say "guilty as pleaded as charged." Perhaps one may say: "Guilty as charged in accordance with the plea".
[10] In the instance case the verdict should have been noted as follows:
"Guilty contravention of section 65(1)(b) Act No. 63/96)"
It was unnecessary to say: "Guilty as pleaded…" since it has, as a matter of fact, already been noted in the appropriate block or paragraph that the accused had pleaded guilty.
[11] The sentence imposed on the accused was suspended on condition that the accused is not convicted of the same offence "he is charged with." The emphasis is mine. The condition is, with respect to the court below, poorly worded. It should have been phrased as follows:
¡°¡¦ on condition that the accused is not again found guilty of contravention of section 65(1)(b) committed during the period of the suspension."
The emphasis at the sentencing stage shifts completely away from the offence an accused was charged with to the offence of which he has finally been convicted. Sometimes the two may be poles apart, for instance, where the accused is found guilty of a competent verdict.
[12] In his response to all the queries I raised, the trial magistrate conceded that the queries had substance. He wrote in paragraph 4 of his memo dated 17 July 2007 which the registrar received on 21 August 2007:
"4. The oversight on the part of the magistrate is too much and is quite regrettable, there are of cause no reasons to advance as to why the conviction and sentence should stand and not be set aside and the matter remitted for fresh consideration."
[13] In the light of the aforegoing I am unable to certify that the proceedings in this case were in accordance with justice. The magistrate suggestion appears to me to be the correct course of action. Both the conviction and the sentence cannot be allowed to stand.
[14] Accordingly I make the following order:
14.1 The conviction and sentence are set aside.
14.2 The matter is remitted to the court below for consideration de novo.
14.3 The accused must be informed of this order, and the decision of the National Prosecuting Authority, should the matter, for any reason, be abandoned.
I concur.

John Lott makes some strong arguments, and offers statistics to back them up, as to why students and faculty should be allowed to conceal carry on college campuses.
The only comment that I had a small issue with is that he says:
A student with a permit faces expulsion and wont get admitted to another school. For law-abiding individuals, violating the ban dramatically impacts their lives. Yet, for someone like the Virginia Tech killer the threat of expulsion from having a gun on campus means essentially nothing, even if he had lived, given he would already face 32 death penalties or 32 life sentences.
I would add that not only did the VaTech killer not fear expulsion, he didn't even have to fear that another student or a faculty member would be armed as well.
