Salt River seeking volunteers for clean up
PHOENIX -- The Tonto National Forest needs help for a massive clean-up effort this weekend.
About 300 volunteers are needed to beautify the Salt River.
Each year, during the month of January, the water is low enough for volunteers to step in and help clean it up.
"We are trying to get folks out to help us cleanup debris and trash buildup that has accrued over the last year," said Patricia Bean, Partnership Liason on the Mesa district for the Tonto National Forest. "It's a normal occurrence and so, once a year, we try to go out and clean up."
In order to prepare the Salt River for a busy season of tourism, the Annual Lower Salt River Clean-Up will take place on Saturday, Jan. 18 from 8 a.m. to noon.
"We ask folks to wear closed-toed shoes and rubber soles," said Bean.
Volunteers will be stepping on rocky terrain and even in the water. To deal with the heat and sun exposure, Bean reminded volunteers to wear hats and sunscreen.
Sign-in will take place at the Blue Point Recreation site, 20 miles northeast of Mesa. For more details on how to volunteer, click here.

One such conflict was between the various inhabitants: Humans, Winglies, and Unimare. The Humans were the only ones who knew how to cultivate the land, and were greedy with the food they grew. They were clever, and they had to be with the other two races overpowering them. The Winglies are strong athletic warriors that believed they were angels incarnate due to their wings and military might. They were said to be able to control weather, which they used to their advantage. But even their might was rivaled by the magical talents of the Unimare. They were believed to be able to control the time of day, which they also used to their advantage. But one day they all came together in a time of conflict and formed one home, one nation, which became the capital of Equestria: Canterlot. It is here

The Economy Lost 2.87 Million Jobs in January
February 11, 2014, Tuesday, 05:55 GMT | 00:55 EST | 11:25 IST | 13:55 SGT
Poor weather and large seasonal adjustment make a lot of the winter economic data unreliable. While the adjusted payroll total rose less than expected last month, the unadjusted figures did not appear to be much out of line with the typical pattern. The figures have little bearing on the 2014 outlook.
In its household survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures the number of individuals who couldn't make it to work during the survey period due to bad weather (note that these figures are not directly comparable to the payroll figures, which come from the establishment survey). The BLS noted that 262,000 people could not make it into work due to adverse weather last month, vs. 232,000 in January 2013 and a 330,000 average for the last 10 Januarys (268,000, if you exclude January 2011's 886,000). In other words, the January weather did not appear to be much worse than normal. However, in December, 273,000 could not make it into work due to adverse weather, vs. a 10-year average of 179,000. So, the January weather impact was likely influenced by the larger negative impact in December.
Still, the decline in retail and education payrolls does suggest a January weather impact. Manufacturing hours also declined, which is consistent with bad weather.
The unemployment rate fell further in January, dropping to 6.6%, the lowest since October 2008. Much of the decline in the unemployment rate over the last few years has been due to lower labor force participation. That wasn't the case in January. The participation rate rose. However, there were some unusual details in the household survey results. The unemployment rates for teenagers and young adults jumped, suggesting that there may have been issues with the seasonal adjustment, while the rate for those aged 25-54 fell further.
A couple of New York Fed economists set off a debate last week by suggesting that the employment/population ratio is "a misleading labor market indicator." To be sure, some of the drop in labor force participation is demographics. As the baby-boom generation moves into retirement, participation has begun to trend lower. The New York Fed adjusted the figures for the changing demographics, but still concluded that while the labor market has been improving, "it still has a ways to go to reach a full recovery." Note that one could also look solely at the 25-54 age group, which shouldn't be subject to the demographic shifts. Labor force participation for this group has declined, suggesting that there is more at issue here than demographics. The e/p ratio has improved, which is a good sign, but there is still a large amount of slack remaining.
Will the slower trend in payrolls lead to a more gradual Fed tapering? Or will the drop in the unemployment rate (now near the 6.5% threshold) lead to an increase in short-term interest rates sooner rather than later? Neither. The Fed is well aware of the anomalies in the economic data and the figures have had no significant impact on the 2014 economic outlook. Fed Chair Yellen should echo that sentiment this week.

Vidal was also given a golf bag from Carlos Morales, the marketing director for the golf course, and John Norton, the club's pro. Once again, Vidal failed to disclose the value of the gift. "A golf bag can cost anywhere from $50 to $400," says Tim Mace, a manager at Edwin Watts Golf Shops. "It really depends on the size of the bag and the type of material the bag is made from." Vidal did not provide a description of the bag.
While it is highly unlikely the county manager was actually given a case of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild or even the most expensive golf bag available, the public really doesn't know. And therein lies the problem Vidal has created. As long as the county manager is foolish enough to take gifts from individuals doing business with Dade County, then the public has every right to assume the worst about him, the mayor he reports to, and the overall integrity of county government.
The county manager also received gifts from Charlie DeLucca, a former Muirfield partner. Vidal reported receiving "golf goods" in 1994 and a "gift basket" in 1995. No further description or value was provided.
He also listed on his disclosure form "rounds of golf" without identifying how many rounds he played. The cost for one round at the Golf Club of Miami is between $20 and $50, depending on both the season and the time of day.
During its own review of the manager's actions, the State Attorney's Office will likely use the county's conflict of interest and ethics ordinance as a guide. The first relevant passage is Section E, which deals with gifts. The law states that "it is unlawful for any person or entity to offer, give, or agree to give to [the county manager] or for the [county manager] to accept or agree to accept from another person or entity, any gift for or because of an official public action taken, or to be taken, or which could be taken," or for "a legal duty performed, or to be performed, or which could be performed."
From a layman's standpoint, an interpretation appears easy. If the only reason the county manager received a gift is that he is the county manager, and the gift is being given by a company doing business with the county, then that is wrong and the manager should be punished for accepting such gifts.
Legally, however, it isn't so simple. In general, prosecutors believe that in order to bring a charge against a person under this section they have to be able to show that the gift was received for a specific action. In other words, they would have to prove that the manager was given free rounds of golf, a case of wine, a new golf bag, assorted golf goods, and a gift basket because he recommended changes in the Golf Club of Miami's contract that financially benefited the firm. While Armando Vidal's conduct might appear sleazy, unethical, and whorish to some people, proving a direct link in a courtroom between all those fabulous gifts and the contract changes could be problematic.
The next area of interest for prosecutors might be Section G: exploitation of official position. Under this passage, administrators such as the county manager shall not "use or attempt to use his official position to secure special privileges or exemptions for himself or others."
It is worth recalling from our earlier story the comments of the former employees for the Golf Club of Miami, located at 6801 Miami Gardens Dr. "He would come out and play for free whenever he wanted," said Harry Ferguson, the former tournament director for the course.
"The first time I saw the county manager I didn't know who he was. He just came in and grabbed a bucket of range balls and helped himself to a cart," said Glenn Street, a former assistant golf pro at the course in 1995 and 1996. Vidal usually golfed with lobbyist Jorge Lopez. "Most of the time it was the two of them together," said Street. "Sometimes they would bring guests and their guests would be comped as well." And, he added, "they would basically help themselves to anything they wanted."
Whether this type of conduct meets the legal definition of exploitation will be up to prosecutors to determine. If Vidal is charged and convicted of violating either section, he could be sentenced to 30 days in jail and given a $500 fine.
Of course, Penelas is free to discipline the county manager on his own, using his own high standards of conduct. But so far the tough-talking mayor hasn't said a word publicly about his manager's golf habit or his wine collection or his assortment of golf goods.
Let's hope they don't hear about this up in New York; otherwise they might think Dade's young mayor is full of hooey.

Been told. After dismantling Daniel Cormier for four out of five rounds at UFC 182, it seems like the only contender left for Jon Jones is the winner of Alexander Gustafsson vs. Anthony Johnson. That may not be appealing enough for "Bones," who in previous interviews has teased moving up a weight class.

Shortly after Jon Jones' UFC 182 win against Daniel Cormier, interim heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum warns Bones to stay at his division. Daniel Cormier was billed as Jon Jones' toughest test yet, and after the dominant champion defended his belt once again, it now leaves him with fewer options. There's the winner of Alexander Gustafsson vs. Anthony Johnson, and then maybe a move up to heavyweight.

Alan Michael Wilt has not received any gifts yet
Click here for links to several sellers.
"The Holy Family is a rich and engrossing story, elegant and moving. Though it takes place on the epic stage of religious belief and disbelief, the drama itself is simple, humane, and ultimately devastating as the title's twin meanings gradually come into focus. A unique and deeply satisfying read." —Dale McGowan, author, Parenting Beyond Belief and Atheism for Dummies (forthcoming)
"When I got a copy of Alan Michael Wilt's novel, The Holy Family, I wondered if I would be interested in reading it. At first I was merely intrigued by the title and the incongruous picture of a young girl's blonde French braid on the cover. But from the first page I knew I had stumbled into a jewel of a book. I found myself reading and re-reading and putting stars by exquisite passages that took my breath away. Wilt begins by describing Marty Halsey's battle with his Catholic faith--a religious upbringing that seemed to him to turn on dogma and rules versus the beauty and poetry of faith. The story follows Marty's religious odyssey alongside the tender and breathtakingly sensual descriptions of his 'courtship' and marriage to Justine Damont, the artist, the atheist, the loving and charming wife, and the devoted mother of their two daughters. Early on, you understand that Marty and Justine have suffered a horrible loss and are trying to 'hold it together' for each other. I found myself simultaneously wanting the details of their loss and yet dreading the details I knew I would be given. I was also afraid that a too-neat resolution would end this story and make me sorry I went for the ride. Instead, what I got was a pitch-perfect ending to a deeply moving and thought-provoking story of love and of faith in 'the beauty and poetry' of human emotions. Read the book, tell your friends; this novel deserves a wide audience." --Larry Baker, author, The Flamingo Rising

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
1960, of cinema (from French Nouvelle Vague, late 1950s); 1976 as a name for the more restrained and melodic alternative to punk rock.
A graphical user interface and object-oriented environment from Hewlett-Packard, based on Windows and available on Unix workstations.
category of popular music spanning the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Taking its name from the French New Wave cinema of the late 1950s, this catchall classification was defined in opposition to punk (which was generally more raw, rough edged, and political) and to mainstream "corporate" rock (which many new wave upstarts considered complacent and creatively stagnant). The basic principle behind new wave was the same as that of punk-anyone can start a band-but new wave artists, influenced by the lighter side of 1960s pop music and 1950s fashion, were more commercially viable than their abrasive counterparts.

Karen Armstrong's path to light
After falling away, she fell in love with religion again
As tensions have flared among Christians, Muslims, and Jews in recent years, Karen Armstrong has become familiar to many in the three faiths as a voice of clarity and uncommon understanding. The author of a string of bestselling books on religion, she has also received an award from American Muslims. She teaches Christianity at a Jewish college for rabbis in London and is pursued on both sides of the Atlantic as a conference speaker and media maven.
Her latest book, "The Spiral Staircase: My Climb Out of Darkness," is a powerful memoir that reveals how unlikely and hard-won that pursuit has been. A former nun who left an English convent in disillusionment without discovering God, she experienced years of isolation, failure, and disorienting illness, feeling separated from the rest of humanity as if "behind a sheet of glass."
A tale of daunting struggle, this sequel to a 1981 memoir of her convent experience, is buoyed by keen intelligence and unflinching self-awareness and honesty. A graduate in literature of Oxford University, Armstrong is an engaging, energetic writer. The title metaphor of the spiral staircase as spiritual progress that seems to go in circles while, in fact, moving upward into the light comes from T.S. Eliot's poem, "Ash Wednesday." This poem became a touchstone amid her search for meaning in the face of continuing reversals.
Armstrong left the convent in 1969 to attend Oxford, in despair over her failure to find God amid the strictures and emotional frigidity of cloistered life. "My brain had been bound as tightly as the feet of a Chinese woman," she writes.

Yasser Arafat is the founding father of Palestinian nationalism. He is also the godfather of 20th century terrorism. The nationalist movement that he created ab ovo remains unique in history as the only one throughout the entire world whose defining paradigm is terrorism, and whose raison d'etre is the destruction of a sovereign state and the decimation of its Jewish population. Even after its leader's death, still loyal to his legacy, the Palestinian Authority remains focused on the destruction of Israel rather than on a healthy nationalism and the building of an economically viable, Palestinian state.
Arafat not only legitimized, but actually romanticized the murder of innocent civilians, turning terrorism into a populist revolutionary tool. He put airplane hijacking on the political map. He legitimized terrorism, beginning with the moment that he was welcomed to the UN General Assembly on November 13, 1974, kaffiyah on his head and side-arm at his waist, and got a standing ovation from the delegates present. When the Nobel committee awarded him its Peace Prize in 1995, he fulfilled the Orwellian fantasy of reality turned upside down, and truth turned inside out. Evil had become good, wrong had become right, and a mass murderer drenched in the blood of thousands had become a national hero to millions.
Arafat was a protégé of the Communist bloc and succeeded in making his cause a cause of the international left that survived the collapse of the Communist system. The alliance between radical Islam and the secular left that ripened during the post-9/11 war on terror was forged in the battles that Arafat waged.
Arafat resuscitated Jew-hatred and made it the official policy of the UN when the Arab bloc leveraged the passage of a UN resolution equating Zionism with racism in 1975. By relentlessly portraying Israel as evil, Arafat revived the heinous stereotype of the malignant Jew to international respectability, eclipsing the effects of the horror of Nazism and proving correct Josef Goebbels' lesson to Hitler that if you repeat the same lie often enough, people will believe it.
Arafat is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians and 95,000 Lebanese Arabs who were killed by his minions during his twelve-year reign of terror in that country. Nearly 500,000 Lebanese were made homeless in the same period. Arafat is also responsible for ruin and poverty that pervades the West Bank. From 1967-1994, under Israeli rule, the economy of the West Bank Palestinians prospered. GDP grew at an average rate of 13 percent per year, tourism sky-rocketed, seven universities were created, infant mortality plummeted, life expectancy increased, and the well-being of the Palestinian Arabs improved substantially by World Bank measures. At one point almost 300,000 Palestinians were working in the Israeli economy, with earnings well above their counterparts in neighboring Arab states. Spurred by this prosperity, the Arab population of the West Bank and Gaza Strip soared from about 950,000 in 1967 to over 3,000,000 in 1994.
But after the Oslo Accords transferred authority in the West Bank to Arafat in July 1994, the decline of its economy followed swiftly. Arafat plunged the West Bank and Gaza into a ten-year reign of terror, poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. After Oslo, billions of dollars in international aid flowed into the PA, from the EU, the US, and Arab countries. Yet the Palestinian people saw almost nothing of this bounty. Rather than using that aid to build his state, with schools, hospitals, roads, and social services, Arafat created a massive kleptocracy of cronies and loyalists who siphoned off vast fortunes to personal accounts in Switzerland and elsewhere. The rest he squandered on his terror war against Israel.
Although hundreds of tons of humanitarian supplies entered the West Bank and Gaza regularly, almost none reached Palestinians, because Arafat created a monopoly on the transfer of food to Arab cities in the West Bank with supplies going only to designated PA officials who then sold them to favored merchants. Thus Arafat and his cronies grew rich by intensifying food shortages at the expense of his own starving people.
Instead of building his state and using its assets for the benefit of his people, Arafat created a terrorist army, waged a terror war, and brought the Palestinians nothing but death, destruction, poverty, humiliation and grief.
As head of the Palestinian Authority, he transformed the schools of the West Bank and Gaza into centers of Jew-hatred. After Hitler, Arafat is the first national leader in history to set up a school system whose purpose was to teach the nation's children to hate another ethnic group and to instill in them the ambition to murder as many as they could.
Arafat maintained a state of permanent warfare in the Middle East, rejecting one peace proposal after another, culminating in his refusal of the Clinton-Barak offer in 2000 which would have given Palestinians a state on 97 percent of the territory they had asked for. Throughout his career, Arafat's greed, his hunger for power, and his compulsion to push the Jews into the sea subordinated all other considerations. No matter how many died, no matter how much suffering he caused, no matter how catastrophic his one-man rule, he stubbornly pursued his destructive course to the end.......

United buy Stiles' World Cup medal
A 1966 World Cup winners' medal belonging to England player Nobby Stiles was today bought for a record-breaking sum by Manchester United. Stiles' former club paid £188,200 for the medal at an auction of football memorabilia in Edinburgh. The price trumped the £165,000 fetched by Alan Ball's own World Cup medal five years ago. Stiles, 68, made a total of £424,438 from his collection during today's sale. Manchester United bought several of the 45 lots, which a representative from Convery Auctions said would be displayed in the club's museum. Stiles said he had intended to leave the mementoes to his children, but decided to sell them after being unable to divide them up between his three sons.

Article ID: 321292 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q321292 On This PageSUMMARY This step-by-step article demonstrates how to use two
interfaces: IComparer and IComparable. These interfaces are addressed in the same article for two
IComparable InterfaceThe IComparable interface provides a method to compare two objects of a particular type. Use this interface if you want to order your object.Think of IComparable as providing a default sort order for your objects. For example, if you have an array of objects of your type, and if you call the Sort method on that array, you can use the IComparable interface to compare the objects during the sort. When you implement the IComparable interface, you must also implement the CompareTo method. For example:
IComparer InterfaceThe IComparer interface provides additional comparison mechanisms. For example, you may want to order your class on several fields or properties, by ascending and descending order on the same field, or both.To use IComparer, follow these steps:
Step-by-Step ExampleThe example in this section demonstrates how to use IComparer and IComparable. This example creates a class named car. The car object has the two properties: make and year. This example uses the IComparable interface to sort on the make field in ascending order. This example then uses the IComparer interface to sort on the make field in descending order. This example also provides ascending and descending sorts for the year property through the use of IComparer.

Historical Note
The Papers of Grace Perlbinder represent one collection housed within the Archive of the American Soviet Jewry Movement (AASJM). These papers reflect the effort, beginning in the 1960s through the late 1980s, of thousands of American Jews of all denominations and political orientations to stop the persecution and discrimination of Jews in the Soviet Union. The American Soviet Jewry Movement (ASJM) is considered to be the most influential movement of the American Jewish community in the 20th century. The beginnings of the organized American Soviet Jewry Movement became a model for efforts to aid Soviet Jews in other countries, among them Great Britain, Canada, and France. The movement can be traced to the early 1960s, when the first organizations were created to address the specific problem of the persecution and isolation of Soviet Jews by the government of the Soviet Union.
The collection contains the papers of Grace Perlbinder related to the activities of the Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry during the 1970s and the early 1980s. Created by Inez and Sydney Weissman in the early 1970s, the East Meadow-based Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry became the pivotal grassroots group within the national coalition Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. Grace Perlbinder was one of the cadre of leaders of the LICSJ that included Inez Weissman, Toby Newman, Honey Karasyk and Lynn Singer. She served as the Committee's Vice President and President. LICSJ worked to raise awareness of the plight of Jews in the USSR by keeping its community informed via its own newsletter, the Soviet Jewry Report. The group organized numerous demonstrations, vigils, sit-ins and benefit concerts on behalf of Soviet Jews. The Committee helped connect American and Soviet Jewish families with projects such as Adopt-A-Family and the Soviet Jewry Write-ins. They also arranged meetings between Jews in the USSR and the American travelers.

By: Andy Kleinsasser, Meteorologist
Several top 10 records were set across the area.
The Wichita annual average temperature of 56.4 degrees has been exceeded each year since 1998, and 2006 would not be the exception. With an average temperature of 59.5 degrees, Wichita tallied its 5th warmest year on record, and warmest year since 1954, which was also the warmest year on record. Records for Wichita date back to July 1, 1888.
All months except February, September and October were above normal. Of greatest note was the month of January. Wichita's average monthly temperature was 43.2 degrees, 13.0 degrees above normal, setting an all- time record for the month. The average high temperature for the month was 56.6 degrees, a whopping 16.5 degrees above normal! The runner-up was the month of April. Wichita's average monthly April temperature was 63.1 degrees, 7.8 degrees above normal, which was 3rd warmest on record, and the warmest April since 1981. With March and May also above normal, spring 2006 went down in the record books as the warmest on record for Wichita. Despite the deadly mid to late summer heat waves across the area, summer 2006 paled in comparison to past summer heat, notably the 30s, 50s, and 1980. Of greatest note may be Wichita's 2006 average July high temperature of 96.0 degrees, 3.1 degrees above normal. November and December were also relatively warm at 4.0 and 5.4 degrees above normal, respectively. It was the 5th warmest December since 1948, and the warmest since 1991. With the warmth came dry conditions. Wichita's annual total of 29.36 inches was 1.02 inches below normal, and was the driest year since 2001. All months except May, June, August and December recorded below normal precipitation. February 2006 tied for the driest on record with only a trace, and the fall season was 6th driest on record at 2.12 inches, which was also the driest fall since 1966. Unfortunately, reliable long-term records are not available for most other sites across Central, South Central and Southeast Kansas. However it can be assumed with high confidence that many sites also recorded conditions much warmer and drier than normal in 2006. It is likely most sites recorded one of the warmest years on record, along with one of the warmest January's on record. Information for a handful of other sites follows: For Chanute, the annual average temperature of 58.9 degrees was 2.6 degrees above normal, and possibly the warmest year on record since 1954. All months except three were above normal. January had the highest departure at 11.1 degrees above normal, likely one of the highest on record. April was 5.9 degrees above normal, and the spring months in general were well above normal. The average August temperature was 4.9 degrees above normal, and was the warmest since 2000. Summer 2006 likely combined to be one of the hottest summers since 1980. After relatively cool conditions September and October, well above normal temperatures returned for November and December. One of the more notable 2006 Chanute highlights was the well below normal precipitation. Only 28.84 inches was recorded at the airport, a staggering 13.11 inches below normal. All months were below normal except April and December. Like Wichita, February recorded only a trace of precipitation. The greatest monthly deficits include 3.21 inches in June, and 3.05 inches in September. The total summer rainfall deficit was 6.47 inches, and was likely one of the driest summers since 1980. For Salina, the annual average temperature of 58.8 degrees was 3.1 degrees above normal, and possibly the warmest year since 1954. All months except two were above normal. January had the highest departure at 13.4 degrees above normal, likely one of the highest on record. April was 6.3 degrees above normal, and the spring months in general were well above normal, likely resulting in one of the warmest springs since 1949. Summer 2006 likely combined to be one of the hottest summers since 1980. Relatively cool conditions prevailed for September and October, September possibly being one of the coolest since 1949. Well above normal temperatures returned for November and December, likely one of the warmest November-December periods since 1949. Below normal precipitation was also the name of the game at Salina, recording only 25.48 inches, a deficit of 6.71 inches. Eight out of twelve months recorded below normal precipitation. Like Wichita and Chanute, February recorded only a trace of precipitation. July rainfall was only 0.79 inches, 3.53 inches below normal, and likely one of the driest Julys over the past 20 years. After a wet August, dry conditions continued through the fall months. November 2006 was likely one of the driest on record, measuring only 0.06 inches. In summary, it can be inferred from the above data that most locations across Central, South Central and Southeast Kansas likely experienced a much warmer and drier than normal 2006. In-depth climate data for much of Central, South Central and Southeast Kansas can be found at the following website: http://www.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=ict

Having a little fun with his loyal Twitter followers, Lil Wayne made it sound like he got engaged on Valentine's Day.
The "Mirror" rapper set rumors flying yesterday afternoon when he tweeted, "She said yes!" in regards to his girlfriend Dhea.
Taking a break from his music-making mission, Justin Bieber was spotted hitting the halfpipe in Miami, FL on Wednesday night (February 1).
The "Never Say Never" sensation donned a black t-shirt, jeans and a black winter hat as he showed off his skateboarding skills for a group of gathered teen lady fans who'd amassed in the studio parking lot.
Teaming up for a musical collaboration, Lil Wayne just released the video for "Mirror" featuring the vocal stylings of Bruno Mars.
The track is a slow tune and takes an up close and personal look at the "How to Love" rapper highlighting his rock hard body and personal tattoo collection.
Offering up their take on the best in music over the past twelve months, MTV has debuted their rundown of the Top 25 songs from 2011.
Doing his best to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump, B.o.B has released his new video for "Strange Clouds" from his second album of the same name.
The "Airplanes" hitmaker told press that the song wasn't originally meant for him, but when he heard it he knew he had to have it for his album.
Making for quite the star-studded spectacle, the 2011 American Music Awards took place at Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday night (November 20).
The preliminary nominees for the 2012 People's Choice Awards have been announced, and it's going to be another exciting year.
They're two of the biggest superstars in the music industry, and Eminem and Lil Wayne have been named Gods of Rock by GQ Magazine.

OpenFiler: an Open-Source Network Storage Appliance
Underneath the GUI interface, OpenFiler is powered by a bunch of open-source software. At its core, it is an rPath OS with a 2.6 kernel, very similar to Red Hat Linux. OpenFiler runs SSH by default, so you can just SSH to it and start poking around. The Web-based admin console is driven by Python and lighttpd. OpenFiler runs snmpd as well, so you can query it with SNMP. The HTTP/WebDAV engine appears to be Apache. It uses the standard Linux NFS server, has Samba to do the SMB/CIFS duty and leverages proftpd for its FTP server.
OpenFiler supports a wide range of physical block devices, like SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE and FC disks. It also supports remote block devices, via the iSCSI, AoE (ATA over Ethernet) and FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet) protocols. It supports the standard Linux software RAID as well.
One of the most interesting features of OpenFiler is the inclusion of the Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) engine, as well as the Heartbeat HA cluster software. DRBD allows OpenFiler to replicate its block devices to another OpenFiler in either synchronous or asynchronous modes, so your backup OpenFiler could be in the next rack or in the next state. When combined with the Heartbeat HA software that allows two OpenFilers on the same LAN to use a Virtual IP address, you have a powerful, reliable, fault-tolerant data-storage cluster. In the event of a failure on the primary OpenFiler, the secondary will detect that across the private interconnect between the two units, step in, assume the virtual IP address and continue servicing requests.
Because OpenFiler uses Linux LVM, you easily can aggregate storage devices into a single pool and then slice that up as desired into whatever network share you want. Another benefit of using the Linux LVM is that point-in-time snapshots can be taken quickly and easily, allowing for consistent backups to be taken of the OpenFiler appliance.
OpenFiler is an easy-to-deploy and easy-to-use distribution that does one thing very well, and that's serve files to network clients. If you've got an older computer or laptop lying around, you can turn that system into a NAS appliance simply by installing OpenFiler and attaching a large USB disk. On the other end of the spectrum, OpenFiler is very well suited for installation on an enterprise-class server where it can act as a part of your corporate SAN. It's unfortunate that the developers elected to make the Administration Guide available to paying customers only, but the project needs to be funded by some means. If you've got a requirement for a file server or some form of networkable storage device, it's definitely worth checking out.
Installing OpenFiler via PXE
The little embedded PC on which I installed OpenFiler doesn't have an optical drive, so I had to install the distribution via PXE. I copied the distribution CD to an NFS server and exported that directory via NFS. Then I copied the vmlinuz kernel file and initrd.img initrd archive from the /isolinux directory on the CD to the tftp directory on my PXE server. The last step was to add the following lines to my PXE server's pxelinux config:
LABEL openfiler KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.img text askmethod ramdisk_size=8192 console=tty0
After doing that, installing OpenFiler was as easy as booting my system via PXE, selecting openfiler at the boot prompt, and then answering "NFS" and pointing it to the exported directory when it asked for the installation method. OpenFiler's Red Hat-like install (thanks to rPath) made installation very easy, and it installed very quickly over the LAN.

Exporting NFS simple name
Would you know how I get OF 2.3 to export NFS in a simple config ie. machine:/share?
According to documentation I've read in many and varied places, Windows NFS Client (SFU 3.5 or R2 versions) cannot access multipath exports ie. machine:/mnt/dir1/dir2/dir2/share via UNC paths. Yes I can map them to a drive letter or browse via Network Neighbourhood but that is of no use to my application.
I cannot get a response to my question on OF forums.
Verry Jerkish of them.
Stumbled on your entry in their forums after looking for the same answer, then found your entry here. Its actually pretty simple.
On the system tab, scroll down to networks, and add the ip address of your host, with a mask of 255.255.255.255 and permissions of share.
Then on your shares tab choose your share, or create a new one and set the access control to Public Guest. Then in the NFS section choose the bubble of what permissions you want it to have. Click Update!
All should work as expected after that.

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.

2013 Tour de France
The White Jersey Hunt
Thibaut Pinot, 24 (FDJ)
4 / 7
French cycling has eagerly watched Pinot's development, culminating with his memorable stage win at last year's Tour—accompanied by the sight of shaggy-haired director Marc Madiot screaming encouragement from the car window. But Pinot is no one-day wonder; he finished 10th overall and is showing excellent pre-Tour form with a fourth place at the recent Tour of Switzerland. Along with Europcar's slightly older Pierre Rolland, Pinot gives the French hope for the future at their home tour.

Here you go. Notice the wound channels. Expect the temporary wound channel to be around 1/8-1/4 larger than the permanent wound channels. 12" is a standard placed needed depth of penetration to hit vital organs. As you can see, they are all quite impressive except the heavier 9mm, and even then, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it. Notice the 9mm is smaller and faster than the others. Does that help?
Sorry, forgot the pic.

My read is the .45ACP is going @850 FPS, in a larger round. About half the "speed" of other rounds, yes, still pretty fast, but larger, and with almost twice the time in the target during impact. The larger size causes it to begin to twist, yaw, and in the case of HPs, open up, and cause more damage.
