According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2009 there were roughly 77,000 HIV-infected youth between 13 and 24 years of age in the U.S., and youths accounted for a quarter of all new HIV infections in 2010. With the dramatic improvement in HIV care over the past three decades, an infected adolescent and his caregivers are now faced with managing a chronic illness. A new policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provides recommendations for successful transitions from pediatric care to an adult-oriented health care provider. The policy statement, "Transitioning HIV-Infected Youth Into Adult Health Care," is published in the July 2013 issue of Pediatrics (published online June 24). The AAP recommends health care providers develop a formal process for transitioning youth to adult health care. For a successful transition to adult-oriented health care, youths must acquire skills to be responsible for the management of their own health care. Discussions about the transition should start with patients in early adolescence, with the actual transition to adult health care occurring between ages 18 and 25. The AAP recommends health care providers establish a system to identify and track youth as they move through the transition process, and each patient should have an individualized transition plan. Communication among all health care providers is essential. The patient's health care coverage should be evaluated regularly to ensure access to medications is not interrupted during the transition. ### The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

AAP Agenda for Children Strategic Plan Poverty and Child Health The AAP is forming a Poverty and Child Health Work Group to develop a strategic plan and action steps to address the health effects of poverty to ensure the healthy development of all children. AAP Agenda for Children: Quality The commitment to quality care is implicit in the Academy's mission of promoting the health and well-being of all children. Many Children Lack Access to Primary Care Physicians The American Academy of Pediatrics discusses lack of access of children to primary care physicians. Ethnicity and Language Linked to Medication Use The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) highlights a study that indicates that older children, children from big families, and children with a non-citizen mother were least likely to use any medication.

Battleship (Generals)

" | Naval support, awaiting orders - Battleship | " |
The battleship was a naval artillery platform used by the USA during the GLA War. Its primary weapons were six long range guns in two turrets. They were used to prosecute amphibious landings and escort aircraft carriers. They had very strong firepower and could destroy a Barracks in one hit.
Battleships supported a search and destroy operation against GLA training camps on Kazakhstan's Caspian coastline. Some were caught in the biochemical missile attack on the US naval base in Northern Europe. Most of the fleet survived. Battleships escorted the aircraft carrier USS Daedalus to Somalia to ensure the delivery of food and medical aid to the civilian population.
Battleships of the US Mediterranean Fleet were docked at Matala, Crete when the GLA captured the base's particle cannon and destroyed the USS Reagan. The ships were not operational at the time.
Game UnitEdit
" | Clear those targets! - Battleship | " |
In most appearances the battleship either is not controllable by the player or acts as scenery. An exception is during the second USA mission in Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour where players may direct battleship fire. It is possible to destroy one in this mission, but it requires a massive amount of battleship fire (it takes six bombardments to even scratch it).
Although these Battleships were seen serving the US Navy as late as 2020, all Battleships were retired by the US Navy as of 2000.
If battleships were to be used, they would be likely Iowa class battleships armed with 3x3 16in guns, not the 2x3 configuration depicted in the game. Therefore, these vessels are actually more akin to "Pocket Battleships" or "coastal defense battleship" with 2 battleship turrets, having similiar roles as cruisers, i.e. offshore support of friendly forces and bombardment of enemy's forces, but cruisers lack the large guns featured in Coast Defense Ships, battlecruisers and battleships. The ship featured in game can be considered a light battleship, but it's straddling the thin line between heavy cruiser/coast defense battleship, and fully fledged battleship.
The Battleship is used in a number of mods for Zero Hour as buildable and controllable units such as, Rise of The Reds, Tidal Wars, Etc.

What this will do is it will automatically translate chat into the prefered players language example a player who speaks only spanish joins the na server before he plays he can go into options and choose a language for the translator to translate when he gets in-game all chat will be in spanish english players can also do this so only english shows up on chat.
Junior Member
I completely agree! I was thinking about this myself. It would be an awesome way to be inclusive - perhaps ask Google if they can help, their translation is pretty awesome. It would be great to just see: LatinoGuy (Ryze): [Spanish] I'm still new at this - can you help me? rather than: LatinoGuy (Ryze): Todavía soy nueva en esto - ¿me pueden ayudar? and I'd love for him to see LiamBuddy (Amumu): [Inglés] Me encantaría ayudar! Recoger con mí y me dejó tomar la mayor parte de los daños. instead of LiamBuddy (Amumu): Umm - does anyone know Spanish?

Switzerland See And Do
The birthplace of Dada, the most significant art movement to have come out of Zurich, has just been reopened after 90 years: The site of the original Cabaret Voltaire, at Spiegelgasse 1, is now a café-bar and gallery. You can visit James Joyce's grave in the Fluntern cemetery, and any number of galleries and museums—including the unmissable Kunsthaus gallery (Heimplatz 1, www.kunsthaus.ch). Spanish star architect, Santiago Calatrava, a resident, is working on two new buildings in the Seefeld district to follow up on his stunning Stadelhofen Train Station and the astonishing, recently unveiled Bibliothek (library) of the Zurich University Law Faculty—an edifice that, touching ground in only eight places, seems to be floating. One of the great architectural masters of the 20th century, Le Corbusier, contributed (posthumously) his final work to the city—the Heidi Weber Pavilion, now a museum and gallery that is sadly rarely open these days. And from the sublime to the kinda silly, hundreds of five-foot teddy bears took to the streets in summer 2005, a citywide art installation called—what else?— Teddy Summer 2005 (www.teddy-summer.ch). Whoever thinks the Swiss are po-faced, money-minded stiff-necks should board a plane immediately. The new slim and spacious light-flooded glass Dock E building at the airport (designed by Spühler and Algélil/Graham/Pfenniger/Scholl) will be the first sign that, in the case of Zurich, old perceptions couldn't be more wrong.
St. Moritz
The St. Moritz ski region divides into four main areas—a lift pass covers 56 lifts and over 218 miles of trails. Corviglia mountain is the core (and closest to the town center), reached by funicular from Dorf and by cable car from Bad. A modern gondola provides the link from the neighboring town of Celerina. Once up the mountain, a series of 10 modern chairs provide a network of runs for all standards. Corvatsch mountain, above Lake Silvaplana and a short ski-bus ride away from Dorf, is equally entertaining. The skiing is reached by cable car from both ends of the lake. The snow-sure glacier above Surlej peak gives access to a couple of scenic routes while Furtschellas mountain is the setting for the more demanding Seestutz and Muntanella descents.
If you're staying in Bad village, you can ski home from Corvatsch or transfer to the Corviglia area. Lagalb and Diavolezza are two adjoining ski areas situated farther west along the valley beyond the town of Pontresina. Together they offer some of the best expert skiing in the region and will be linked by a lift for the 2009–2010 season. Apart from the runs back down to the cable car, the top of Lagalb is the starting point for the off-piste La Rösa tour of the south face into a neighboring valley. Take the six-mile descent (with a guide) down the glacier from Diavolezza, which is the most spectacular in the Engadine valley.
St. Moritz
In the summer, you can hike and picnic in the mountains, and climb, ride, bike, and enjoy a host of water sports on the Engadine lakes (www.engadin.ch). Major summer events include windsurfing and kitesurfing events, the Match Race sailing regatta (www.stmoritz-matchrace.ch), golf tournaments, and an opera festival in late June/early July (www.opernfestival-engadin.ch), along with several other music festivals and concerts.
St. Moritz , Switzerland
Skiing doesn't appeal? Alternative winter activities in St. Moritz include dog-sledding, snowshoeing, and the ever-popular curling. The Cresta Run entails tobogganing headfirst down an icy tunnel for three-quarters of a mile. It's organized by the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club and although private, it's easy for an outsider to arrange an introductory ride—provided they're male. After instruction you ride the serpentine ribbon of ice down to Celerina, your face only inches from the ice, at a speed of around 60mph. It's extremely skilled and dangerous—accidents are commonplace (www.cresta-run.com). Other spectator sports include bobsledding (41-81-830-02-00; www.olympia-bobrun.ch) and ski jumping, while the frozen lake hosts an unusual array of equestrian sports not usually played on water, including February horse racing (www.whiteturf.ch), mid-January show-jumping (www.stmoritz-concours.ch), and late January snow polo (www.polostmoritz.com). There's even the occasional cricket match, evidence of a long affinity the British have had for this alpine resort.

Is the Web as good as the lab? Comparable performance from Web and lab in cognitive/perceptual experiments

With the increasing sophistication and ubiquity of the Internet, behavioral research is on the cusp of a revolution that will do for population sampling what the computer did for stimulus control and measurement. It remains a common assumption, however, that data from self-selected Web samples must involve a trade-off between participant numbers and data quality. Concerns about data quality are heightened for performance-based cognitive and perceptual measures, particularly those that are timed or that involve complex stimuli. In experiments run with uncompensated, anonymous participants whose motivation for participation is unknown, reduced conscientiousness or lack of focus could produce results that would be difficult to interpret due to decreased overall performance, increased variability of performance, or increased measurement noise. Here, we addressed the question of data quality across a range of cognitive and perceptual tests. For three key performance metrics—mean performance, performance variance, and internal reliability—the results from self-selected Web samples did not differ systematically from those obtained from traditionally recruited and/or lab-tested samples. These findings demonstrate that collecting data from uncompensated, anonymous, unsupervised, self-selected participants need not reduce data quality, even for demanding cognitive and perceptual experiments.

No offense to anyone, living or dead or in between, is implied, expressed or intended. No angry emails please- chill out:)
There seems to be little or no humor in Genealogy. Based on my short time doing this I just have that impression. Now of course the Genealogy community is and has been extremely helpful and kind to me along the way. But browse the articles by the "pro's" and you get the impression of some stuff shirt sucking on a pipe, looking a lot like Sigmund Freud and sitting in a room where the major lifeforms are the worms eating the books! And they certainly forgot to take "charm" school with their nasty and vicious attacks on those who have made errors in their research. Guess none of them ever read "How to make friends and influence people"! Ok - that's my only commentary until I get flamed by one of those cranks and then the real fun will begin:)
ALLEN Silence and Edmond Jackson, Feb. 24, 1741-2 Marriage record from Mass Vitals (One can only think the parents were hoping anyways:)
I've had the most fun with this one. I can only think that "butt" was not slang for "Buttock" back then but can only wonder. If the humorous name was intentional what odd and probably very funny parents he had. The record below was from a tax record from 1798. No idea what the "Milk Job" was- no comment.
Got to love this name from a 1787 death record. A bit even more odd because this is a female. I could see myself naming a male "Fear":) Imagine if she had married "Chase Butts" ! I have a distance relation to her- she would be an aunt with many greats before it. I've noticed many names from that time period that are best described as "emotions", such as Vigilance, Patience, Honor, - pretty sure I've even seen Careful and Thoughtful. (I'll ad them here if I do) I am curious if there are some stories or significance attached to this concept of naming.
Note on 9/17/06 - I found her middle initial on Mass Vitals tonight! It is D! Fear D. Fish! Like Count D. Money for anyone that is a Mel Brooks fan! I love this stuff:)
OK speculation on my part but if they hyphenated names back then like we do now would she have dared to become Mrs. Sarah Handy-Butts!

Ok beating the Butts senseless here but here's another one!
I find them I have to post them!

@Sunshine31 -I agree. I think that physical fitness workouts are important and they don't have to be complicated.
I sometimes will take a jump rope to the park and while my kids are playing, I will do jump rope sets. I usually will do about 250-300 repetitions about four to five times while at the park.
I really feel the workout all over and it does strengthen my heart because jumping rope is very aerobic. I always try to find a way to do exercise every day even if it just for twenty minutes or so.
You may not think that it makes too much of a difference in a day but after a few weeks you will be able to tell the difference. You will also be able to sleep better and have more energy.

Put simply, the pension crisis will affect you and everyone you know.
The pension crisis has already begun, 56% of the population has no pension provision at all. This is probably due to a lack of confidence in the current complex system and confusion as to how to best to plan for retirement. Here we look at the key reasons why the traditional pension is outdated, under performing and ready for the scrap heap. Welcome to the great Pension Crisis of the 21st century.
Why long life is killing traditional pensions
In the 1950's and 60's it was accepted that we would only be expected to live a few years after retirement. This life expectancy table clearly highlights our increasing longevity.
Year | Average life expectancy of a male in the UK | Average life expectancy of a female in the UK |
1981 | 76 | 81 |
2003 | 80 | 83 |
2026 (UK projection) | 84 | 87 |
One of the causes of the retirement pension crisis is increasing life expectancy. Scientific advancement means we are living longer but for pension planning, this is disastrous.
Traditionally when we retire, our pension will be used to purchase an annuity which will provide an income for the rest of our lives, but as we enjoy increasing longevity, annuity returns decrease as they have to last longer. At the moment the pension crisis is so bad that an index linked annuity of £100,000 will pay around £5000 per year, which might just cover your heating bills!
Why the only winners in this pension crisis are the pension companies
Would you trust your money with a company that swallows up to 80% of your investment in fees? Sounds crazy doesn't it but that's the reality for some people investing in traditional pension funds!
If you had invested a significant proportion of your hard earned wage year after year of your working life, to find that of the £100,000 you put into your pension fund, only £20,000 remained after fees – would you be happy? The Pension companies are only making the pension crisis worse.
Only pension companies seem to get away with this. With all the confusion, complicated schemes and lack of transparency it's not surprising that people go along with it, as it seems there is no other option for retirement planning available.
Would you risk your entire financial future?
So how do the pension companies invest your hard earned cash? Well many pension companies stick your money into shares and over the last decade you might have been better avoiding the pension crisis altogether and putting your money under your mattress.
In January 2000 the FTSE 100 share index stood at 6268 points. Ten years later in January 2010 the FTSE stood at 5188. That's a huge loss, not even taking into consideration inflation. Now the market may do better over the next ten years but are you prepared to take that risk?
No one would vote for these policies
Successive governments have compounded the pension crisis. Politicians can take the credit for the collapse of the final salary pension and constant policy changes which have only exasperated the problem. Anyone waiting for the government to save us all from the pension crisis will be sorely disappointed.
How can you escape the pension crisis?
It's clear to see that relying on an outdated, poor performing pension is not the answer to a financially stable retirement.
What are the options? Never retire? Retire in poverty? Accept the pension crisis? It doesn't have to be this way – you do have options.
At Rescue my Pension we may be able to assist you to plan the retirement you deserve and avoid the pension crisis. We will advise, guide and support you by planning a personal strategy for you using below market value property as a means of funding your pension. This will enable you to retire without worrying about your income.

Posted under American history & class & Gender & Intersectionality & race & the body & women's history
Squadratomagico has an interesting post (and discussion in the comments) about patriarchy: What is it? Where does it come from? And perhaps most urgently, who's enforcing it? She writes:
What is at stake when a rhetorical dichotomy between "patriarchy" and "women" is posited? The way this opposition is used seems to me to suggest the following things:
1. If "patriarchy" and "women" are on opposite sides of a dichotomy, then patriarchy must be an all-male thing.
2. Thus, women are not a part of patriarchy, but fall somewhere outside it. Women may be acted upon by patriarchy in ways that either victimize or benefit them (depending on the women's status and position vis-a-vis particular men), but they do not themselves perpetuate patriarchy, participate in it, or drive it.
3. If a woman suggests that women sometimes do perpetuate, participate within, or drive patriarchy, then she herself is acting as an agent of patriarchy by blaming women and undermining female solidarity, rather than attacking the real enemy, patriarchy, which is composed of men only. Oh, but wait: huh? Please review the tendentious aspects of this reasoning. I think it boils down to this: women are not part of patriarchy, except when the commenter disagrees with said women. In that case, indignantly accusing your opponent of being an agent of patriarchy, or of "blaming women," is a convenient means of bludgeoning them into silence while declaiming your own impeccable feminist credentials as a supporter of women. Hence, the tactic poses a false dichotomy between "blaming women" versus "supporting women," while simultaneously defining debate itself as inherently divisive.
4. Following upon the previous point: feminist politics, for these commenters, appears to be predicated upon strict solidarity for both sexes. The feminist first principle is for women to stick together without dissension or debate, in order to best advance their own collective interests, which are presumed to be self-evident. Feminism thus conceived constitutes a neat counterpoint to patriarchy which, as we already have seen, is presented as an all-male formation existing to best advance men's collective interests.
I especially like that point in #2: talking about patriarchy this way erases the complexity of patriarchy (and not incidentally, women's agency too). We don't think this way about other systems–capitalism, or colonialism, and divide the entire world arbitrarily into either victims or agents thereof. Why do this with patriarchy?

Exotic Feline Rescue Center
This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (July 2011) |
Exotic Feline Rescue Center is an exotic feline preserve established in 1991 and located in Center Point, Indiana.
The EFRC was founded in 1991 by Joe Taft. It is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization. The EFRC cares for nine exotic feline species, including lions, tigers, leopards, servals, pumas, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, and an asian leopard cat. The EFRC is the second-largest[1] big cat rescue center in the United States, providing a permanent home for non-domestic cats that have been abused, abandoned, or for some reason have nowhere to live out their lives. The EFRC does not buy, sell, or breed animals, provides expert veterinary care with an onsite clinic, and educates the public about these animals. Over 230 big cats are housed on 108 acres (0.44 km2).
The EFRC is the focus of the book Saving the Big Cats (2006) published by Indiana University Press.[2]
The EFRC was prominently featured in the 2009 movie The Tiger Next Door.[3] and was also the subject of a WILL TV documentary in 2009.[4]
Over a two year period (2008-2009), Dr. Susan Linville at the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior (CISAB) [5] and Dr. Helena Sioni at the Institute for Pheromone Research, both located at Indiana University[6] conducted a research project with lions, tigers, cougars and leopards at the EFRC to study rubbing behavior and determine if a pheromone is being deposited during rubbing.[7]
In 2009, a multifaceted research project was conducted by several veterinarians from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, College of Veterinary Medicine.[8] Under the direction of Dr. Stuart Clark-Price, immobilization and anesthesia methods for tigers were assessed in order to optimize current protocols and maximize animal safety under anesthesia. During these procedures, veterinary ophthalmologists gathered routine measurements on the tigers' eyes to determine what is normal in this species and establish a basis for treatment on tigers with eye diseases or to improve current therapies. Dental examinations were also performed by The Peter Emily International Veterinary Dental Foundation[9] to determine the current condition of each tiger's teeth and the potential need for future dental care. Any needed dental treatments were performed by board-certified veterinary dentists pro bono. Other information including normal blood value and anti-body levels of different diseases was evaluated to improve care of these tigers as well as global care for this species.
The EFRC offers internships for college students and credit is offered for students at Indiana University through the Center for Integrative Study of Animal Behavior.[10]
- Director: Joe Taft
- Assistant Director: Jean Herrberg
- Head Keeper: Rebecca Rizzo
On June 21, 2013, a tiger mauled a caretaker who was cleaning its cage (when the Keeper mistakenly left the connecting gate open), clamping the woman's head in its mouth during the attack. This was a sure case of Human Error. The unidentified 21-year-old woman was airlifted to Wishard Memorial Hospital and was in critical, but non-life threatening condition.[11] As a result of the incident caused by Human Error, the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration conducted an inspection and in November 2013 fined the center $56,000 for "knowing" violations and $13,000 for "serious" violations, including dangerous conditions likely to cause death or physical harm to employees.[12]

problem peonies
I have decided that this list is very helpful and that it is time to do something about my peoonies. I have 7 of them all planted in a row, in a sunny spot on a southern slope. Only three of them have ever bloomed at all, and one of those aborts it't blooms before opening. the rest have never shown a sign of a flower bud. I learned from this list that maybe they are planted too deep. I shall try raising them as I read about here, but when is the best time to do that?
This is Montana, and for summers we have scorching heat for about 2 months, July and August, and in the winter we have 34 below and all the time never enough rainfall. Our soil is hard compacted decomposed granite, like cement. I guess it's hard to live here for a plant. I mulch a lot and that might be part of the problem? Any ideas how to get my plants blooming. Incidently most have been in about 5 years.
I am not exactly sure how best to help, but one thought came to mind..what about building a raised bed for them?...You could control the quality of their soil that way and have adequate drainage....you could plant them shallow under a light layer of mulch, and if any topsoil washes away, more can easily be added...Just a thought....GardenLove
You may want to try planting them in a raised bed that has been amended with organic materials such as peat moss, compost, well-rotted manure, fish meal or alfalfa meal beneath the root. Compact soil around roots. Sounds like you have no problem with full sun. If the root is too large, more than 3 years, I would divide it. Sometimes, your local nursery or local master gardener can help you with that. Make sure you have good drainage. I recommend fall planting or transplanting. Make sure the eyes are not more than 1-2 inches below the soil and work some bone meal into the soil beneath the root. Peonies prefer organic fertilizers so try to shy away from synthetic ones.
When the weather is hot as you stated, try to water your peony thoroughly at least once or twice a month. Too much water will cause your root to rot, too less will slow down the growth of your peony. Never allow the manure to touch the roots. Instead, to feed, put it around the base of peony plant about 10-12 inched from eyes. Each fall, after the 1st week of September at least when it is dormant, cut your herbaceous peonies to the ground being careful not to damage the eyes. I would mulch in the winter, but remove the mulch at the "beginning" of spring. Happy flourishing in the spring!!
You posted in July and I'm wondering what steps you might have already taken to try to get those un-bloomers to right themselves.
You could, if you haven't already done the whole job, instead of raising the bed, raise the plant...an inch or ?
This is often done because it is so simple a remedy to try.
Just go outwards from the plant with a spade or shovel. Dig straight down....and repeat this on all sides.
Pick a side and go under the plant with the spade and lift.
Hold the plant in the raised position and back fill, then firm up with fingers. This is often exactly what the plant needed.
I'd also suggest you stay away from anything that abruptly changes your soil's pH to the acid side. Peony likes it slightly alkaline.
This is not to say you should not use peat moss in making your soil around your peony more loose and able to hold moisture. Peat moss is not heavily acidic...although it is suggested to be part of the mix in acid loving plants...oriental lilies come to mind.
I would also suggest lifting out your peonies with a shovel and reposition them in a raised bed. It did wonders for a bird of paradise that had been sulking in our yard (heavy clay amended with potting soil, manure, and peat moss)--it started growing a month or two after transplanting and have caught up with a larger plant that was bought recently.
A raised bed is fairly easy to construct--we constructed it out of cinder blocks, dug up the soil inside the bed, add it potting soil, peat moss, compost, and playground sand, mix thoroughly, pop plants in, and cover the tops of the cinder blocks with cap stones.
I just popped in 2 bareroot peonies in this bed about 2 weeks ago, and they're putting out shoots, so no complaints here....

Protection Rights
File and directory protection provides the ability to determine who can access your files and directories and what operations these users can perform on them. These protection settings are called privileges or "rights" that you can give or take away from users who join a particular group.
To view the Andrew directory protections on a directory, type the following (where directory is the directory you want to view).
fs la
EXAMPLE: fs la .fs la ~ju32fs la /afs/andrew/org/salsa
To change the privileges or rights to directories for a user, type:
fs sa
EXAMPLE: fs sa /afs/andrew/org/salsa ju32
To remove a user or group's access to a directory, type:
fs sa
directoryuserid_OR_ptsgroup none
EXAMPLE: fs sa /afs/andrew/org/salsa ju32:mygroup none
fs sa /afs/andrew/org/salsa jd4 none
To give back rights that have been taken away:
fs sa
directoryname userIDrights
With -negative:
fs sa
directoryname -negative
userID none<
To give or take away rights to a group, substitute "groupname" with "userID"
Who can work with my directories?
You can set rights for individual users or groups of users. The access control list (ACL) for a directory tells you which users or groups have rights for that particular directory.
Types of Rights
There are two different types of rights: positive and negative.
- Positive rights allow other users or groups special access to a directory.
- Negative rights prevent access for users who would otherwise have access.
Following is a list of rights you can set for other users or groups. Each of these rights can be positive (allowing the action) or negative (denying the action):
Read (r): read any file in the directory.
Lookup (l): list all files in the directory and obtain status information about the files.
Insert (i): add new files to the directory.
Delete (d): remove files.
Write (w): create or edit files in the directory.
Lock (k): place write locks on any file in the directory. This is used mainly by application programs.
Administer (a): modify the access list and ownership of a directory. The owner of the directory always has Administer rights, even if he or she appears to have no rights to the directory. Therefore, the owner of a directory can always reset the protections.
Commonly Used Aliases of Rights
To keep you from having to remember exactly what codes to use, you can combine a group of user rights into an alias (see the aliases help file):
read (rl): allows users to lookup and read any files in the directory.
write (rlidwk): allows users all the read rights above, as well as the right to add, change, and delete files in the directory.
all (rlidwka): allows users all rights to the directory, including Administer. You should be careful about assigning another user all rights to one of your directories.
none: allows users no rights to the directory (users will not be listed at all on the access control list for the directory). Note that users given no rights may still have access to the directory if they are members of a protection group that has access to the directory; see the section "Removing rights from directories."
Giving Rights to Directories
There may be times when you want to give certain users rights to your subdirectories. To do this, use the fs command with the sa (setting access) parameter. At the system prompt, type:
fs sa
Directoryname is the pathname of the directory to which you are setting rights, userID is the user ID of the person to whom you are giving rights, and rights are the abbreviations or codes for the rights you wish to set.
For example, if you wanted to give someone whose userID is "pat" read and lookup access to a directory of yours called notes (remember that read can be used to indicate both read and lookup "rl" rights), at the system prompt you would type:
fs sa ~/notes pat read or fs sa ~/notes pat rl
To verify that the correct rights were added, use the fs la directoryname command explained earlier.
Giving Rights to Users from Other Cells
It is possible to add users from other cells to an access control list, provided they have obtained a cross-realm token for your cell and have had this token registered in the protection database for your cell; see the cklog help file for further information on cross-realm tokens and authentication.
To add a user from another cell, use the fs sa command and supply the cross-realm identity for this person as the userID (to add a protection group you would use the pts command). A cross-realm identity is in the form: <userID>@<cellname> So the fs sa command would appear as:
fs sa
directoryname <userID>@<cellname> rights
For example, to add Harry Bovik from Computer Science (userID of email@example.com) to an access control list of yours in the Andrew cell, you would add his cross-realm identity to your ACL.
Harry's cross-realm identifier would be email@example.com (note the difference between this and his CS user ID); this is what you would add to your access control list.
fs sa
directoryname email@example.com rl
The individual you wish to add to your access control list must have obtained the cross-realm token and registered it with the protection database for your cell; you cannot do this for the individual.
Removing Rights from Directories
There are two possible ways to take away rights to a directory. One way is to use none with the fs sa command and the other is to use -negative with the fs sa command.
The main difference between none and -negative is that none merely erases a userID or group name from the access control list, while -negative adds the name to the list with a special kind of permission, negative rights.
If you remove a user from the ACL of one of your directories using none, but he or she is a member of another group that has rights, the user will still have rights to the files in that directory. However, if you use -negative to deny rights, he or she will appear on the ACL as having negative rights. Then, even though the user is still a member of the other group, he or she will be denied access to your directory because of those negative rights.
Using None
To take away all rights to a particular directory (to set none rights) you place `none' at the end of an fs sa command line:
fs sa
directoryname userID none
Where directoryname is the name of the directory you are denying access to and userID is the userID of the person to whom you are denying access.
For example, if you had previously given user pat read rights ("rl" rights) to your notes directory, but decided now that you don't want pat to have any rights, at the system prompt you would type:
fs sa ~/notes pat none
Remember, pat will still have the same access that system:anyuser has, because pat is a member of that group.
Setting negative rights, or using -negative
When you use -negative with the fs sa command, you are setting negative rights or denying a user specific access to a directory. To assign negative rights, at the system prompt type:
fs sa
directoryname -negative
userID rights
Where directoryname is the pathname of the directory you are setting negative rights for, userID is the user ID of the person to whom you are denying rights, and rights are the abbreviations for the rights you are taking away.
To give pat negative read and lookup rights (to take away those rights) to your notes directory, use the word read for "rl"; at the system prompt type:
fs sa ~/notes -negative pat read
If you use the fs la ~/notes command, you will see that a list of negative rights has been added to the rights list for notes:
Normal rights:
system:anyuser rl<userID> rlidwka
Negative rights:
pat rl
Reinstating Rights You Had Removed
There are two ways to give back rights that you have taken away. Which you use depends on how you removed the rights initially.
- If you used none to take away a user's rights, use the same command described earlier for setting rights:
fs sa directoryname userID right - If you used -negative to take away a user's rights, then you must use -negative combined with none to remove those negative rights:
fs sa directoryname -negative userID none

Pear Gorgonzola Walnut Pizza
When I was in college, we had a typical nice Italian restaurant in town, called Trattoria. It was one of those that people took dates to when they were trying to be impressive and others visited for special occasions. I had a few friends who worked at Trattoria, so I was lucky enough to go a few times just for kicks. For dessert one day (they changed their desserts regularly as I recall), the special was Pear-Gorgonzola-Walnut skillet dish. It was absolutely divine. That's been probably well over 10 years and I still remember the taste and how surprised I was to see such a savory cheese in a dessert. I mean, I grew up in the south where cheddar on apple pie is somewhat common, but this was so different. I adored it. So, I thought I'd recreate it…on a pizza.
Vegetarian Gorgonzola Pear Pizza
Kristi @ onceamonthmeals.com

The route to corporate success rarely involves reaching out to the poor. However, the Mexican Cement company CEMEX did just that, transforming life in the rural communities and their own economic growth in the process.
The Mexican economic crash of 1994 led to a greatly devalued peso and a soaring unemployment rate. Cemex, a cement manufacturer, faced a financial crisis, as sales to the construction industry were down by 50%. As Cemex searched for new market opportunities, they found that sales to do-it-yourself builders were down only 10-20%.
This group included Mexico's poorest residents. However, their numbers were enormous. An estimated 40% of the country's 110 million people lives below the poverty line. Though sales to each individual were tiny, they promised a large and more stable market. Cemex decided to reach out to these neglected homebuilders as a balance to the unpredictable nature of the rest of their business.
The program Cemex developed is called Patrimonio Hoy. Do-it-yourself builders without credit or property enter into a long-term but affordable financial agreement with Cemex, who provide building materials in stages, along with construction and architectural advice. For Mexico's poor, Patrimonio Hoy leads to homes built faster and better than before, with significantly less waste. For Cemex, this opens up a market that could top $500 million annually.
Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Cemex is the largest manufacturer of cement in the Americas ...

Who would have thought she smoked?
Posted by Steve on January 15, 2008, 11:05:08
No postings here for a while i notice so i will tell you a little about my girlfriend.
She has just recently become a smoker. Last October to be precise. I didn't know she had started, she told me on Christmas day. Well she showed me, she didn't know how to tell me and had had a little wine so she just took one of my mum's fags and lit it up. I was a little shocked but really aroused. I didn't count on getting aroused by it but I did. She looked really sexy as a plus she was all dressed up it being Christmas day and all. So i asked her lots of questions, When did you start? How many? Are you gonna continue? and she asked me Did I mind? Did I like it? Did she look good? Over the next couple of weeks she started smoking more with me around knowing it aroused me. She really plays up to it.
She smokes Lambert and Butler, Thats quite a strong brand over here in Scotland I think, She smokes just under a pack a day. She has gorgeous blue eyes and long brunette hair. She is pretty much always in jeans and slightly revealing tops which is a plus because for me thats sexier!

Tim Wallace RW CAR May 18 '79
Tim Wallace has signed with Orebro to play in the SHL next season.
The Swedish Hockey League is Sweden's top league after it was known as Elitserien, or the Swedish Elite League, in the past. Wallace had two points and 69 hits in 28 games with Carolina last year.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Feb 02 '79
Tim Wallace has been called up by Carolina.
He was just sent down Wednesday morning only to be brought back up Wednesday afternoon.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Feb 02 '79
Carolina has reassigned Tim Wallace to the minors.
In 26 games with the Hurricanes this year, Wallace has two points and 64 hits.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Jan 20 '79
Tim Wallace has been brought up by Carolina.
He was recalled from the minors Wednesday. Wallace has one goal and 52 hits in 21 games with the Hurricanes this year.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Jan 05 '79
Tim Wallace has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AHL Charlotte.
The 28-year-old earned one goal and 52 hits in 21 games with the Hurricanes.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Jan 04 '79
Carolina Hurricanes place Tim Wallace on waivers.
Wallace has one goal and 17 penalty minutes in 21 games this year. He's a non-factor for fantasy purposes and we imagine he'll be assigned to the Canes' AHL affiliate if he clears waivers.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Dec 03 '78
Tim Wallace returned to action on Thursday February 21.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Dec 01 '78
Tim Wallace was back at practice Wednesday after he skipped Tuesday's session because of an upper-body injury.
He could be available for Thursday's contest versus Winnipeg.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Nov 30 '78
Tim Wallace (undisclosed) and Tim Brent (lower body) did not practice Tuesday and are day-to-day.
Brent missed Monday's game with the injury, but Wallace's ailment is a new thing. The Canes next play Thursday against Winnipeg, but it's unclear whether Brent and Wallace will suit up. Neither play has much impact on the fantasy landscape.
Tim Wallace RW CAR Nov 23 '78
Tim Wallace scored his first goal with Carolina on Monday.
His marker gave the Hurricanes a 1-1 tie with the New York Islanders after the first period en route to a 6-4 victory. In four outings with Carolina, Wallace has one point, 15 penalty minutes and three shots. Andreas Nodl picked up an assist on his goal for his first point of the season as well. Neither player should be on your fantasy radar.

Villa 221 Bums Everyone Out by Pulling the Plug on Animal Tropical at Their Own Release Party
If you bring it, they will mosh |
With Slashpine, People, Shiboleth, and New Theory
Villa 221
Thursday, June 30
Villa 221 is a rambling Old Florida estate converted into a labyrinthine nightlife compound capable of functioning as: (1) a club via thumping music and dance floors; (2) a bar with multiple depots on both floors and lots of furniture for shooting the shit; and (3) a lounge boasting tremendous cushions on the patio for lounging while you sip your Sour Diesel Appletini.
Among these many identities, the South Beach-lite aesthetic wouldn't immediately suggest the perfect venue for kids in their early 20s to get wasted, make time, and mosh to black metal. But that's what happened last night at the release party for the new ten-inch vinyl split from Animal Tropical and Ice Cream.
Though the surface vibe of Villa 221 is on the less chi-chi end of the club spectrum, the physical space itself lent itself very nicely to last night's event, with lots of different rooms, inside and out, exuding a variety of atmospheres. Maybe you want to chill on the porch? Or perhaps at the bar, for quicker refills? Or, if you want to canoodle with your shmoopy (or holla at a honey) you can go into one of the weird mini-lounges next to the downstairs bar. Bands play in a medium-to-small-sized room upstairs, which you get to by climbing a winding spiral staircase. The band room leads to an upstairs patio, which leads to a huge yard downstairs.
So the space provided a unique atmosphere. But the lineup was tragically overbooked, which led to Animal Tropical's set getting cut when the owners and promoters suddenly came into conflict over the length of the event. This show could have been Slashpine, Ice Cream, and Animal Tropical. It could have started at 11 p.m., ended at 2 a.m. and everyone could go party in the street outside the shell of what used to be Bar.
But somehow six bands ended up performing, the first three of which were all relatively green. And while not unbearable, they weren't especially bearable either. New Theory was a one-man Joy Division thing. Shiboleth, an on-the-fly project featuring members of Deaf Poets and Toad Eyes, played a loose Dad-rock variant comparable to their full-time bands, but a little on the, uh, funk-fusion side. The band, People, played anthemic, technical and overwritten pop-punkish rock with nasal emo vocals.
Ice Cream vocalist, Justin Anthony Rivers |
Animal Tropical was more or less ready to go around 3a.m., when the management of Villa 221 pulled the plug. Crossfade spoke with Ice Cream guitarist Tomas Kennedy, who said that there was no previously agreed-upon end time and that the establishment was bumming him out, a sentiment echoed by everyone who was forcefully ejected by the staff.
Critic's Notebook
The Crowd: A mess of 16- to 22-year-old art and music students, a smattering of confused Villa 221 patrons.
Ice Cream's Setlist:
-"Happy Meal"
-"Teen Mom"
-"Frater Perdurabo & The Great Beast"
-"Monster Truck"
-"Happy Meal"
-"Briilliant Genius Of Humanity"
-"Zebra Meat"
-"Money" C

Devil's Attorney has dropped its price from $2.99 to free. That's right, free! A game that's been highly praised by many and received Editor's Choice from us is now without price until Monday morning. Cool, yeah? Hurry up and download it!
In our review, Michael Halloran wrote, "The artwork is very polished and the storyline is original and witty. There is a lot of funny banter between the attorneys at the beginning of each round and it's almost as if the developers hired a screenplay writer to write all the content. With all this unique content I felt like I was watching a TV sitcom at times. The game is a little short but all of its positive attributes certainly earn a verdict of two thumbs up in my book."

JoJo Gives Shane a Makeover
Watch Shane become Shana in this live feed highlight
Things on the Big Brother Live Feeds have definitely mellowed out compared to last week.
Willie is out of the house, Frank is the HOH, two non-threats are up for eviction and the HGs are bored. So bored in fact, that JoJo convinced Shane to let her put make up on him. And do his hair.
Shane claims this the first time he's ever had makeup on even though he did seem to know what to do with his lips and cheeks when JoJo was applying the blush.
"I feel like my testosterone levels are weakening minute by minute," Shane said.
Don't worry, Shane. JoJo's man-painting skills aren't that great. You ended up looking more glam rock than girl. Oh, and if you're worried about using your man card, you might reconsider plucking your chest hair.
Don't have the Big Brother 14 Live Feeds? You should, you're missing out! Start your 3-day trial today!

Sony DPF-X1000N review
For Sony to get away with charging over £200 for a digital photo frame, it needs to produce something pretty special. Fortunately, with the X1000N, it has done just that. Everything about it oozes class, from the sublime, extremely responsive controls to the minimalist design and sumptuous image quality. There's no video support, battery power or wireless facilities, but in its sole task of displaying slideshows, it performs superbly.
There's the full complement of card slots, plus a generous 2GB of internal memory. Photos are resized as they're copied to conserve memory, but only down to 3 megapixels rather than the screen's native 0.6-megapixel resolution. This isn't as daft as it sounds, though, as the X1000N can play slideshows on an HDTV via its HDMI output. We'd imagine that most people will never use this feature, but it could come in handy for slideshows when the family comes to visit.
Photos look impressive on the X1000N's own screen. The 1,024x600-pixel resolution is higher than most and Sony's superior resizing engine squeezed every ounce of detail out of those pixels. Colours were vivid, punchy and extremely flattering, although very bright tones were rendered as blocks of white, while dark tones appeared solid black. It's not a terrible failing, but a contrast control to fix it would have been welcome.
There's a wide range of options to display slideshows beside a clock or calendar, over scrapbook-style frames or as collages. If you get bored of your photos, there are various clock- and calendar-only views to choose from. These graphics are a cut above the norm, and we can well imagine them taking pride of place on a trendy office desk.
For the price as this photo frame, you could buy a 19in HDTV with an SDHC slot for slideshows (Panasonic's Viera TX-L19X10, for example). However, if you want something a bit subtler to display your photos on, and don't mind paying over the odds for premium quality, this is the digital photo frame to get.

Today's #CBJ Community Spotlight shines on our resident photographer and glorious beard owner, Ken Falk (@derdrache / @CBJBeard). I first met Ken at one of my 1st period intermission TweetUps. I'm still not 100% sure he knew who I was at the time but he was very welcoming and friendly and talked to me like I'd always been there. He's also an excellent photographer and his photogenic beard has made its way into almost every #CBJ fan's twitter avatar at one time or another.
Who is Ken? In his own words:
My name is Ken but for as long as I can remember, DerDrache is what I've used. I've also been known to respond to Ghengis, The Beard or Professor Lube on XBL.
I'm an avid #CBJ fan since day one. I grew up in Columbus in a Red Wings house but rebeled by being a Penguins fan. This was during the days of Lemieux, Jagr, Tochhet, the Samuelsons and I loved it. As a kid I was thrilled with Columbus got an ECHL team in the Chill and went to as many games as I could convince my dad to take me to. The announcement that Columbus was going to be awarded an NHL team was a dream come true as I had embraced hockey as much as a kid in the suburbs of Columbus could have at the time which basically meant street hockey as this was pre-Chiller days. I will admit that I did mourn that we were not to be the Columbus Mad Cows but I eventually got over it.
About me now: Aside from the #CBJ, I keep myself entertained by playing guitar, photography and video games. I've been lucky enough to marry the most amazing person I've ever met (@googlit) and turn her into a hockey fan. We were married under the Union Station Arch across the street from Nationwide Arena. We have an awesome pup named Lord Stanley that has yet to meet someone who isn't his best friend. I work for a local software company that is housed in the Arena District. Hooray for free parking for #CBJ games!
On to the questions!
The easy questions:
1. Favorite #CBJ player & why:
This one is ever changing but I've got to give it up for Jack Johnson. The guy has got a natural swagger that more of the team needs. I can't help but be impressed with a guy that puts in 30 minutes of ice time in a game and would probably put in more if given the chance. For our club to turn around we need more guys like JMFJ who are chomping at the bit to get on the ice and make a difference.
2. Favorite non-#CBJ player & why:
Rick Nash This is a tough one but I'd have to go with Mario Lemieux or Patrick Roy. Both of them had that spectacular ability to assume total control of a game when their team needed them most. I'd love to see someone of that caliber on the #CBJ.
3. Favorite #CBJ moment:
It's been oft repeated but game 4 vs. Detroit. I have never experienced electricity like that at any sporting event before or since. I can barely comprehend what it will be like when we win a playoff game at NWA. I expect tears of joy and people in the fetal position rocking in the aisles.
4. Favorite general hockey moment:
5. Team you would root for if #CBJ had never existed (not moved):
Most likely the Colorado Avalanche or the Blackhawks.
6. Favorite non-#CBJ jersey (in general, not that you own):
Some tougher questions:
7. What are your expectations for the #CBJ in the next 1, 3 and 5 years:
Next year's objective for me is all about building a team that plays with consistency and establishing a core that we can build around of hungry, self-driven players. In three years, anything less than a playoff appearance is unacceptable. In five years we should have won at least two playoff series.
8. If you were GM of the #CBJ, who do you draft at second overall & why:
Nail Yakupov. I'm convinced he'll still be available. Not only is he a dynamic player that can make an immediate difference, he's the kind of personality that fans will latch onto and embrace. With the high likelihood that Nash will be moving on, this is something the fan base will desperately need. He'll also offer the best post-game interviews since @commie22 wore the CBJ sweater.
9. Would you rather see the #CBJ be more competitive next season but miss the playoffs or get another high draft pick & why:
More competitive but miss the playoffs. I'm consistently amazed and impressed with the number of butts in seats at NWA for games when you consider what our fan base has had to endure. It's nothing short of remarkable. That said, I don't think the organization can endure another season like this one, even if it leads to a high draft pick next year.
10. Can you list something(s) that you like and something(s) you'd like to see changed with the #CBJ community:
Things I like: The #CBJ community has some very knowledgable passionate fans that can provide some great discussion/debates on any given day.
Things I dislike: These discussions/debates often implode upon themselves and become counter-productive when people don't see eye to eye. Can't we all just get along? Also, puck bunnies. Gross.
Final questions:
11. Who are 5 #CBJ twitter accounts you think more people should be following?
@bunktuzzi44 – Bunk oozes pure awesomeness. He just needs to step up his CoD game.
@SirChadleyOC – Offers great perspective with just the right amount of snark sprinkled in.
@TheCoachUB – Regular contributor on TheUnionBlue.com. Offers absolutely top-notch articles and insight.
@DennisTFP – Writer for TheFourthPeriod that actually acknowledges the CBJ's existence and all-around great dude.
@cbjbeard – Don't know much about this guy but damn he's awesome.
12. Any shout outs you want to give or blogs/twitter accounts you want to help promote?
Drop by TheUnionBlue.com if you haven't already. Some awesome blogger content as well as a great forum for all of the best CBJ discussion. Anything from current roster to AHL to prospects as well as social meetups.
13. Any final thoughts… on anything?
I know it's easier said than done but it's time to put last season behind us and look ahead to what is being put in place and start getting excited. This doesn't mean we shouldn't learn from last season, we just need to respect that what's done is done and things literally can't get worse. We've got some strong prospects in the system and a new coach at the helm that showed an ability to hold down a lead late in games and one of the strongest defensive corps that we've ever seen. If we can back them up with a solid #1 netminder, I think our forwards will begin playing more confidently and aggressively and goal scoring production will increase. Adding a dynamic young athlete like Yakupov wouldn't hurt either. Keep Calm and Carry the Flag.

NH authors keep winning awards

EPPING — Two New Hampshire women, Debbie Raymond-Pinet of Raymond and Bonnie Meroth of Epping, were honored at the Omni Parker House in Boston on Saturday, January 18 at the Boston Book Festival annual award ceremony. Their book, The Growth of Truth, the true story of the heaven and hell life of a psychic medium, has also won the London and New York Book festivals that include honorees like John Irving, another New Hampshire native.
The Growth of Truth is a compelling, candid and poignant account of a psychic medium committed to serving both those who dwell among the living as well as those who have crossed to the Other Side. |
