Multimon - GF4 MX 440
First here's a run down of my machine.
GeForce 4 MX 440
Two HP Ultra VGA 1280 monitors
RedHat 7.3
I installed the second monitor when I was in Windows XP and it worked fine. Booted up into Linux to set it up, and all I get is a duplicate of the screen on both monitors. Anyone know how to set this up for multimon? I'm assuming it's in the xf86config but I'm just not sure...
So it defaultly boots up with 2 screens after you played with it in windows?
Strange, that means it changes something in the videobios.
To set up "twinview" (now marketted as nview) you need to be in the XF86Config(-4) file. Check the file /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README and the XF86Config file in that dir for more info. First read those files on how to set it up, it is not that easy to explain with all options for it.

Hi Cosmo Girl,
Raw honey is also known as unpasteurized honey and it refers to honey that has not gone through any heating process.
Raw honey contains high potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, protein, carbohydrates and vitamin C. It is also a strong antibacterial agent, an excellent immunity builder and energy booster.
The color and taste can also be different from pasteurized honey.
You can read more about raw/unpasteurized honey here:
Raw honey is the honey on the comb. Plain honey is just when it is in the jar,bottle or other container without a comb. However, there are different types of honey and raw honey.I hope i helped. =)
primary difference between raw, organic and "regular" honey is the processing, which involves the use of a couple of fungicides/antibiotics. Raw, organic honey does not contain these fungicides, while processed honey often does. Also, raw honey contains more of the natural antioxidant and antibacterial properties than processed honey
Raw honey is unfiltered. It has a milky appearance containing the most nutritional value, unlike commercial honey. Honey can be used as a tasty additive to foods or drinks and is also used in health and beauty products.

Most ordinary honey is processed, meaning that it is heated so that it can fit through pipes and tubes during the packaging process. Raw honey is unpasteurized and has live enzymes in it. It is better to use raw honey if you are interested in taking advantage of its healing properties. Most of the health benefits are destroyed once exposed to extreme heat, as well occur during the pasteurizing process.

Plot, story, whatever you want to call it -- these things are really just a collection of techniques and strategies writers use to apply pressure to characters in order to see what makes them tick, to see what makes them crack or stand firm.
Ideally, dramatic plots work in ways that make the characters more interesting, more iconic, more hateful, more real, more dastardly, more something; events should serve our interest in the people those events are happening to. It shouldn't be the other way around, unless we're talking about a soap like "Revenge" or "Dallas," where melodramatic twists are the whole point and the characters exist to put them in motion.
The problem with "Sons of Anarchy" (Season 5 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 10 p.m. ET on FX) is that its plot has consumed almost everything around it, including the characters. The overarching story on this drama is a sprawling, ramshackle beast that mostly serves itself, which is a problem for any show that aspires to depict character development, as "SOA" so clearly does.
It's not a new problem for "SOA" -- this piling-on tendency has been evident since Season 3 or so -- but lately it's the Harley version of "Hoarders"; the show appears to be reluctant to throw out story threads, no matter how janky or used up they are. The end result is that the men and women who circulate through the biker gang's clubhouse have, despite their personal charisma, begun to feel like decorations on a rickety pile of plot-choked stuff.
A "previously on" at the start of the season premiere doesn't begin to cover all the story bases, and the characters themselves have to spend a fair amount of time in the first two episodes reminding each other of the ins and outs of various machinations that afflict the club and their associates. Suffice to say the club was in deep trouble at the end of last season, but then a deus ex CIA (who may as well have carried wizard's wand) appeared to save the club from several kinds of jeopardy. Ultimately, in the Season 4 finale, Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), the biker club president who should have died for his sins, was spared a final exit, thanks to the preferences of a Irishman who barely ever turns up on screen.
Re-establishing where things left off last year isn't unusual in a season-opener, but a lot of the exposition in "SOA's" return serves as a reminder of how much of Season 4 was an exercise in wheel-spinning and the deployment of cliffhangers that went nowhere. The cast of this show is still top-notch; that fact has never been and probably never will be in dispute. What's uncertain is how interested the show is in giving its actors material that stretches and usefully deploys their skills.
It's as if "SOA" thinks we'll change the channel if it doesn't keep throwing twists at us. Twists are fine -- hell, they're fun -- but not when they start making the world and the characters in it seem faintly ludicrous. It's the people we show up for, week after week, and if they are forced to take a back seat to Byzantine machinations that whiz and whir and keep piling up, it's easy for our attention to start wandering.
The thing is, the more ridiculous gyrations of the last two seasons would have been worth it had they made me care more deeply about Jax's bloody ascent to the biker club's throne. But the way he got there was so needlessly convoluted that, despite my appreciation for Charlie Hunnam's committed performance, I care less about Jax's reign than I do about King Joffrey's. As Season 5 begins, it's hard to even know if Jax is making wise choices, given the sheer number of subplots and sidebars that crowd the episodes. And that's the problem when machinations and MacGuffins begin to eat everything around them: They no longer reflect on or deepen the characters, they begin to obscure them.
"I applaud that showrunners are trying to tell ambitious, intricate stories, but there is a real danger that you can overdo it," as writer/director Ken Levine wrote in a recent post. Writers "try their best to lay in the exposition. And on paper it all makes sense. The problem is they're too close to it. The viewer is coming at it fresh. The scenes and explanations fly by so fast nothing lands."
As I noted in a Twitter conversation about Levine's essay, complication is not complexity. But "SOA" isn't the first show to begin mistaking the former for the latter, and Season 5 soon begins embroidering on the tale the show told last year. The first two episodes introduce underworld characters played by Jimmy Smits and Harold Perrineau, and, as has been true every other season, the guest actors are every bit as good as the core cast (my favorite scene in the two episodes I've seen was very simple: It was Jax and Smits' character shooting the breeze in a car).
Aliens attacking a space station. People thinking up ad copy. Lawyers defending an accused murderer. Some guy making meth.
Stories like these can contain moral allegories and gorgeous imagery. The plots can be puzzles that we enjoy solving (or failing to anticipate). Wherever they're set, these tales can make us cry or forget to breathe.
But here's what a plot really is, for the most part: It's an excuse for us spend time with people we like. It's a reason to hang out with people we're interested in, even if we don't like them but can't look away.

A lot of people keep their boats further away than that. As long as you're willing to do it, I think it should be workable. A friend of mine at my marina lives four hours away and he's often on his boat more than I am, and my drive is only an hour or so. I could have kept my boat closer than it is, but I wanted to have the diverse choices that Buzzards Bay, another well-known cruising ground, gave me, with easy access to Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Block Island, and Newport.

a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

How to Properly Clean Your Bird Feeders
If you have dead or sick birds in your yard:
• Immediately REMOVE bird feeders and birdbaths.
• Disinfect with bleach solution (9 parts water to 1 part bleach.)
• Scrub well to remove all debris and allow to soak 10 - 20 minutes.
• Rinse very well and allow to dry.
• Do not rehang feeders or bird baths for at least one month after the last sick or dead bird is seen in your yard.
• Resterilize and allow to dry before rehanging.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling feeders or baths.
If you have not yet seen sick or dead birds:
Please use the following guidelines as preventative measures to protect your local birds from a outbreaks of Salmonella and other avian diseases. These measures should also be practiced as regularly scheduled maintenance to ensure healthy birds:
• Bird feeders should be disinfected every two weeks regardless of disease outbreaks.
• Bird baths should be emptied and cleaned daily regardless of disease outbreaks.
• For feeders: Do not use wooden feeders (see link below). Immerse feeders in bleach solution (9 parts water to 1 part bleach.) Soak 10 minutes, scrub, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry fully, ideally in the sun, before refilling (a dry feeder will deter mold growth on seeds).
• For baths: You can make a 9:1 bleach solution in a jug to bring outside. Scrub with a hard brush, cover with board while soaking to prevent birds bathing in bleach, rinse very thoroughly, allow to dry before refilling.
• For hummingbird feeders: NO BLEACH! Change food often. Clean and fill with only enough to last 1-2 days (sooner if gets cloudy/moldy). Use vinegar and water in a 9:1 solution (9 parts water to 1 part vinegar) and special bottle brushes to get into small holes. Rinse thoroughly!
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling feeders or baths.

Along the way, we found that most families can screen nannies just as well as nanny agencies as long as we provide them with the right tools. This allows them to get the care they need without paying the high prices of a local nanny agency. In addition to a great database we also offer several toolkits and guides including our Nanny Success Kit, comprehensive background checks including driving records, and pretty much everything that you would expect when working with a professional agency.
Our online process is simple, free to try, and very effective. In addition to great online tools we recognized that there was a need for people to be able to quickly search for nannies and families on the go. We created our mobile applications to solve that requirement. All you have to do is provide your zip code and then search our database right from your mobile device. Now it's even easier for families and nannies to find that perfect match.
This version has several great features:
1) An enhanced and friendlier user interface.
2) Much tighter integration with the eNannySource website
3) When logged in, you can get more information on members.
4) You can also add members to your top pick list.
5) Finally, you can securely contact members from your mobile device.

Just back from another prerun. Mike, Russ and I froze our butts off! Despite the cold, we managed to get over 500 miles in. On this trip I planned more HP (off trail) than all previous stages combined. HP in this terrain proved quite challenging, sometimes as slow as 5 mph zigzagging through the mars-like terrain. On the last day the snow slowed us to a crawl, setting us back a few hours, and leading to a 9:00pm ASS and a late dinner. Overall the was quite successful. This area has so much great terrain, we now have several long stages all from the same start/finish point. You guys are going to eat these stages up!!!
Camel Head rock is one of the destination points at the end of a tough HP section. When you see this off in the distance, you know that's the point you should be aiming for!
Another HP section. We all seemed to take different lines in the HP sections, but managed to come back together when we hit the landmark point where a new heading was given.
There were a lot of cool little dunes mixed in with brush and wild rock formations. It was usually easier riding the dunes than the other sections as recent rains had made them pretty hard packed. Summer riding will be a lot tougher!
I don't draw the tulip drawings in the roadbook until we prerun it and prove the route is good. Sometimes it's tough staying on track when you only have mileage, text and headings.
Huge cow pie:
Just down the road from the bivouac we hit the Mars terrain:
Grand Sunset:
Near the cattle water hole. Russ didn't fall in this time.
Lookout point while riding along the edge of the Grand Canyon:
Wild horses running along the edge of the Grand Canyon:
Every morning we pulled out the roadbook and installed a new one. This one is for half a stage.
This was just minutes before Russ went down on this road due to the slick ice and snow. That was the end of the day for him. He'll be back soon!
Later, with just Mike and I, we dropped into this wash and rode it for a couple of miles. GREAT fun!!!
Eventually the snow got the better of Mike and I as well. This section was very slow going, and not so fun.
I got a bit aggressive again, and paid the price.
Not the Grand Canyon, but definitely a grand view. It didnt look like anyone had been on the road along here for months if not years. Very remote!
New desert racing frontiers
It will be Devilish !

Math tablet course developed by Filipinos needs online votes
More News from Dona Z. Pazzibugan
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has called on Filipino netizens to vote online for a specially developed set of Mathematics lessons that could be taught to Grade 1 pupils using tablets for a better understanding of the subject.
The all Filipino-developed Mathematics courseware for tablet users has been nominated in this year's Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF) Asia Awards, which recognizes innovative yet socially relevant IT projects in the Asia-Pacific region.
The public voting through the ISIF website http://isif.asia/projects/projects/view/346 is until Wednesday, June 26.
The award recognizes innovations that provide creative solutions using IT information for social and economic development issues.
Pilot tests
Officially called "Technology Package for Student Learning Empowerment: Mathematics Courseware for Tablet PC," the Math tablet lessons were pilot tested in select schools in Metro Manila and four other regions from November 2011 to March 2012.
The project resulted in improved student performance among Grade 1 pupils since it provided a fun way of learning Math concepts through affordable tablets.
The Grade 1 Math courseware has 10 lessons.
These are: classifying objects; comparing sets of objects and numbers; ordering sets of objects and numbers; searching for number patterns; adding whole numbers; subtracting whole numbers; partitioning regions into halves; partitioning regions into fourths; finding the whole region or set; and measuring length.
The modules were developed by Filipino educators, graphic artists and programmers who adapted the lessons into the Philippine context to make them familiar to the pupils.
After the successful pilot of the Grade 1 modules, the DOST developed other Math modules for Grades 2 to 6.
The new modules follow the Grade 1 modules' main characters Aida, Dan, Ed and Tessa in learning new Math lessons.
The development and pilot testing of the modules for the other grade levels will end in 2014.
Downloading modules
The DOST has also begun to develop Science modules for elementary school pupils.
The modules may be downloaded for free from the website courseware.dost.gov.ph.
The Math tablet courseware was a joint project of the DOST's Science and Technology's Science Education Institute (SEI) and the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI).
It was developed with the help of the Department of Education, National Institute of Science and Mathematics Education, Science Undersecretary Fortunato de la Peña, Dr. Queena Lee-Chua of Ateneo de Manila University and Dr. Rowena Guevarra of the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development.
"We call on the people to get online and vote for this innovative project. Let us harness our resources and propel this project to the top spot," said SEI director Dr. Filma Brawner.

Episode Reviews (5)
When I was younger, I found the Klingon storylines boring, and always skipped these sort of episodes. Now that I am older, I can appreciate them a lot more.
This episode is a pivotal moment in the history of Star Trek. We see the introduction of several key characters including Alexander, Worf's son, and Gowron, the new Klingon Chancellor. We also see the death of both K'Ehlyer and Duras, key people in Worf's life.
Although this episode features a lot of politics, I found it very enjoyable to watch because it is good to see where the great story starts. This episode was really the catalyst for many Klingon featured episodes to come, and if you enjoy the Klingon aspect of Trek, I highly recommend it!moreless
A thrilling and moving Klingon/Worf episode....
.... Following the arc set by "The Emissary" and "The Sins of the Father" (two great episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation"), "Reunion" is a thrilling and moving Klingon/Worf-centered episode, marking Jonathan Frakes' second directed episode.
Suzie Plakson makes her return to the series as K'Ehleyr, Worf's ex - not only is she perfectly cast and extremely solid in this episode but she is also a total babe. The character's relationship with Worf features a lot of laughs as well as some very compelling moments. "Reunion" is also notable for Worf meeting his and K'Ehleyr's son Alexander, a character that would continue on through "The Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine." This story line (hence: the "Reunion") is very compelling as Worf comes to terms with his new found fatherhood.
The personal themes of family surrounding Worf's role in the story are great but "Reunion" also sees a pretty thrilling political arc. The plot is closely tied to that especially of "The Sins of the Father," so one is greatly benefited by seeing that episode first, with Picard once again being drawn into Klingon politics - this time the stakes are much higher than they were before.
"Reunion" is, for my money, one of the best episodes of the series' fourth season.moreless
A Great Worf Episode
This Worf episode (a sequel to "Emissary" and "Sins of the Father") is expertly directed by Jonathan Frakes, moving at a breathless pace that keeps the viewer on the edge of his or her seat with its bold choices and incredible events. Like most of the Klingon episodes, the guest stars are great, Michael Dorn is excellent, and Patrick Stewart knocks it out of the park.
The "Enterprise" is approached by a Klingon ship carrying K'Ehleyr. K'Ehleyr is a half human Klingon ambassador. K'Ehleyr requests to board the "Enterprise". Lt. Worf becomes agitated by this action.
The "Enterprise" is approached by a Klingon ship carrying K'Ehleyr. K'Ehleyr is a half human Klingon ambassador. K'Ehleyr requests to board the "Enterprise". Lt. Worf becomes agitated by this action. When K'Ehleyr beams aboard the "Enterprise" she has a small companion with her. The matter she needs to discuss is K'Mpec, the Klingon leader is dying. It seems as if K'Mpec has been poisoned but by who? K'Mpec asks Picard to oversee the process of choosing a new leader and to find the culprit who poisoned him. We find in this episode the companion known as Alexander is Worf's son.moreless
Another episode in the Klingon arc. Very good but a little too soap-operatic in parts.
A follow-up to two earlier episodes, "The Emissary" and "Sins of the Father", "Reunion" ties together two major threads in Worf's arc on TNG. The first time I saw it, I thought it was great; in retrospect, the episode has both strengths and weaknesses.
The strengths are obvious – Klingon's politics and Worf's attempts to fit in with his people. Robert Reilly, in his first appearance as Gowron, takes the creepy bug-eyed Klingon role and runs with it. Gowron was among the first DS9-ish characters on the show – not quite a bad guy, not quite a good guy.
The climax of the episode, culminating in Duras's spectacular death, is also worth mentioning as a plus.
The weaknesses are similar to those of "The Emissary". Lots of melodramatic talk here between Worf and his lover, but since we don't see her on the show much, we don't really care. Or at least I don't.
This episode is also noteworthy as the first appearance of Worf's son, Alexander. Most future episodes to feature him would be mediocre at best.moreless

Thursday, November 4, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Two days after losing to Republican Sam Olens in the battle to become Georgia's next attorney general, Ken Hodges says he is experiencing a mixture of relief and disappointment.
"Obviously we didn't get the outcome we wanted, but is a relief that after a year and a half of campaigning, it's finally over," Hodges said Thursday. "I am now looking forward to spending some time with my wife and children."
Unofficial results from Georgia's Secretary of State show with 99 percent of the state's 2, 840 precincts in, Olens had 1,348,560 votes (53 percent) to Hodges' 1,107,745 votes (43.5 percent). Libertarian Don Smart garnered 88,364 votes (3.5 percent).
Hodges blamed a large part of his defeat on the state's swing to the right and an anti-Democrat mood among the electorate.
"No question that we were on the wrong end of an anti-Democrat wave in Georgia, especially in the larger statewide races," Hodges said. "Running as a Democrat statewide was not easy. The Republicans definitely had a leg up this year."
Republicans swept all nine statewide offices up for grabs on Tuesday. Hodges, however, pointed out that his 43.5 percent total was the highest among his fellow Democrats.
"I wasn't really that surprised by the outcome, especially in today's political environment," Hodges said. "Though I was hoping we'd at least get into a runoff because we'd gotten good feedback from many Republicans.
"But the mood of Georgia resulted in a different outcome. We faced a good candidate who didn't have much of a background, but also didn't have some of the problems the others had."
So, what now for the former Dougherty County District Attorney?
"I'll return to private practice with the Baudino Law Group in Atlanta," Hodges said. "My schedule won't be nearly as hectic because there will be less going on in my life. I'm really going to enjoy spending some time with my family. They made a lot of sacrifices over the past year and a half."
And what about any future runs at public office? Hodges did not seem like a man eager to toss his hat back into the ring any time soon.
"I don't see any more races in my future. I think I'm done," Hodges said. "The only thing on my mind right now is spending some time with my family and getting back to work and a normal life."

Got up the next morning and just had to snap a shot from the vestibule. I soaked it in for several minutes before stumbling down to the house for some bad ass breakfast burrito concoction. We hopped in the truck in the early morning and headed back into town, grabbing Maureen a replacement battery as well as some other random accessories before shooting back to the ranch and performing some repairs. Javier and I took the time to show off our bikes. He's got a rather impressive KZ1000, and can't seem to speak highly enough of. Mid-morning leads to mid-day and we all geared up for a little tour and lunch. I gotta say, so far BC has been very impressive. Awesome roads and scenic views. We stopped in Kaslo, I believe, and had lunch. This is where I said my goodbyes and continued northwest, following route 6 to Vernon and making camp 20 miles outside of town.
Woke up the next morning to a light drizzle just outside of Cherryville. Reluctantly, I crawled out having donned my damp gear and roll the whole tent up, shoving everything haphazardly back into their bags and getting on my way. Once in town, I exchanged some currency and had a mediocre breakfast at a Denny's. I remembering having walked up to the front door shortly after a pair of bikers. The last guy turned around and locked the door behind him, turning to mock at his friends he locked outside. He spots me patiently waiting for pancakes and cracks the door open to let me in. His buddy comments Can you believe this guy? to which I just laughed as returned with a solid Hah. What a jackass. This got a good reaction out of them. I'd bump into one of these guys as I left and he questioned me about my travels. I asked me at one point, a bit surprised, You don't even have a map? I shrugged. I knew where I was going, north west. He ended up giving me a Harley-Davidson travel atlas. Good guy. Canadians.....
I followed the Trans-Canada highway into Cache Creek before heading north on 97 towards Prince George. The goal in the short term was to get to Hyder. This is one town I WAS aware of, and I knew that I wanted to check it out. I had heard about it quite a bit on ADVrider and, as I've already demonstrated, that's all the reason I needed to go somewhere. I got hit with a pretty gnarly thunderstorm while in Williams Lake and sought shelter in the Motel 8, mooching wifi and inhaling coffee. This is also where I started having chronic flooding problems, causing me to leave puddles of fuel wherever I parked. I learned to be quick with the petcock while at stops. I pitched camp that night beneath some power lines just outside some random Provincial Park an hour south of Prince George. I hoped that I wouldn't wake up with a tumor or something....

Project will cover 92,000 beneficiaries in Mandya district in the first phase
To make disbursal of social security pensions fast and more convenient, Vijaya Bank, lead bank of Mandya district, is launching a project wherein the pension will be credited to the bank accounts of beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries can then use their biometric smart cards to withdraw the money either at an ultra small branch or when a business correspondent calls on them.
The bank will launch the project at Mysugar auditorium at Hanakere village on Sunday.
In the first phase, the project will cover 92,000 beneficiaries and in the second 27,000 beneficiaries.
The bank aims to disburse old age and widow pensions as well as pension for the physically handicapped. It has distributed 1.19 lakh smart cards in the district. The biometric data on the smart card will prevent impersonation, and ensure that only the actual beneficiary can access his/her bank account.
"While 92,000 beneficiaries will get their pensions under this project from Sunday, the remaining will receive them under the second phase," H. Dayakara Reddy, Chief Manager, Vijaya Bank (Finance Inclusion Cell), told The Hindu here on Saturday.
Financial inclusion
He said the project would cover at least 1,600 villages in Mandya. The bank had opened more than 122 ultra small branches (USBs) under the financial inclusion initiative. It had also employed 232 business correspondents (BCs), who had completed at least SSLC, in all 232 gram panchayats in the district.
The objective of opening the USBs and launching this project (distributing pensions through smart cards) was to bring banking services to the rural masses in Mandya, Mr. Reddy explained.
The USBs were established in line with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines, in villages with a population of more than 2,000.
Beneficiaries would be able to withdraw money using the smart cards at the USB in their village or they could access their bank accounts with the help of the BCs, who had been equipped with handheld devices that were connected to the wireless network of the bank, the officer said.

Those words should be removed from description. It does not save wallpaper to a lock screen.Continually duplicates entries for no reason. As the app stands it is useless if I'm lying unconscious while someone tries to find my details hidden in this app.I would be better off with a sticker on the back of the phone case.!!

I installed the app and in about 5m it has crashed 6 times or so, will not upload a photo ID. Not quite sure what I think.

It's a good app but it won't set to a lock screen wallpaper, its a main screen. Which sort of defeats the purpose.

Great app to have but annoying it has to be the main wallpaper. Mine won't just set to locked screen only.

Tory MLAs gearing up for nominationsWhile a series of high-profile Tory MLAs have spent the last few days jumping ship, a large majority of Progressive Conservative MLAs in Calgary and the surrounding area want to run again in an election widely expected to be held this spring.
Braid: Major overhaul in store for Tory cabinetAt his post-victory party in Edmonton on Saturday night, Jim Prentice was asked if he really means to make big changes to government."In a month, you won't recognize it," said the premier-designate.
Carter: PCs cannot see the error of their waysLook over there, she's the culprit! We did absolutely nothing wrong! That is the message in the last two emails from Progressive Conservative party President, Jim McCormick to his PC party members.
Alison Redford resigns seat, leaves politicsEmbattled former premier Alison Redford exited Alberta's political stage Tuesday after a string of intractable controversies, months of public pillory and attacks from inside her own Progressive Conservative Party caucus.
Bill won't turn Heritage fund into slush fund: HancockA controversial bill that enables the provincial government to dip into the Heritage Savings Trust Fund for large one-time investments is not creating a slush fund, insists Premier David Hancock. Hancock said Monday he was proud to sponsor the Savings Management Act that was unveiled by former premier Alison Redford in the spring budget, arguing it was what Albertans requested in public consultations leading up to the 2014-15 budget.
PC leadership race highlights shortage of women in top political positionsWith no potential female candidates stepping forward as nominations opened this past week, the Progressive Conservative party leadership race is shaping up to be one dominated by men. Nominations for the PC party leadership opened Thursday and, so far, only two men — former federal Conservative cabinet minister Jim Prentice and Calgary MLA Ric McIver — have declared their intentions to become the next leader and Alberta's next premier.
Review of deregulated electricity market now overdueEDMONTON — A plan to educate consumers about the deregulated electricity market and to bolster the powers of the market watchdog is three weeks overdue and likely won't be submitted to government until June, says the chairman of the committee of six Tory MLAs tasked with the job. Everett McDonald, PC MLA for Grande Prairie-Smoky, said he now hopes to produce a report on the implementation of 33 recommendations to Energy Minister Diana McQueen June 1.
Braid: McIver's 'common sense' message likely to be met with cynicismProgressive Conservative leadership hopeful Ric McIver has a political message that rings true. It's likely what many Albertans want to hear. The former infrastructure minister calls for "a common sense, new approach to replace the insider establishment approach we've seen all too much of in recent months and years."
Statement: MLA Donna Kennedy-Glans quits PC caucusHere's the statement from Donna Kennedy-Glans, the second Calgary MLA to abandon the Tories. Note that she doesn't once mention Alison Redford in this, in a marked departure from Len Webber's defection.
Wildrose in Calgary: Pulled in the cheques, not the votesDanielle Smith's party had lofty hopes in Calgary last election, but only hung on to two seats. If dollars equalled votes, however — what a grand, democratic shame they don't — Wildrose would have 13 MLAs in Cowtown.

Comment from: Se7thHvn67, 19-24 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 23
My son is 19 years old. He has recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His hands, head and legs shake. He has a hard time using a fork sometimes. They put him on medication to help, in case one of the other medications is causing it. This is a young man who just graduated with 'A's last year and ran track. I question whether or not something else could be going on. As his mother I don't think it is nervousness.

It was suggested that I was low on magnesium. I have been taking additional supplements. Hopefully it is helping.

i have a granddaughter that has recently developed a tremor in her hands. according to her mother the doctor. Said she got some wires in her head crossed and that's what causing her hands shake, they prescribed a mild blood pressure pill, which none of this makes any sense to me, she is only 15 but she is under a lot of pressure, she mostly takes care of her 3 younger siblings and a lot of the house work, i think it's nerves.

My head shakes without me knowing. People ask me what I am shaking my head for and I don't even know it is shaking.
Comment from: Okeymet, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: May 10
I just noticed that my entire body trembles, especially when I'm at rest. It's making me distraught. I would like to know if there are solutions to this problem.
Comment from: angela, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 01
I was diagnosed with orthostatic tremor last year. My tremor does not go away when I sit down. It has now spread to my right arm. I have asked to be referred to see a top neurosurgeon, as the doctors here don't seem to know what to do with me. I was basically told by the neuro at the hospital that it is a rare brain disorder with no cure and that he does not know much about it. Lovely! Right now, I take nine gabapentin, eight tramadol, and four paracetamol pills daily to help with the pain. I found that gabapentin takes the edge off the pain really well and helps to keep the burning pain away. Clonazapam just doped me.

That the nation is above the vested interests of some is borne out brilliantly by the illustrious observations of the apex court. The reputation of the institutions of higher education rests on merit. It is unfortunate that after 60 years of independence, unending queues of communities are clamouring for the coveted backward status. Surely, the learned framers of our Constitution did not think of reservation as a permanent feature for the uplift of the underprivileged?
M. Siva Ram Prasad,
A blanket 27 per cent reservation for OBCs will only help the already rich among them. That Parliament passed the law unanimously does not necessarily imply that all sections agree with its provisions. We did witness protests by students in AIIMS and IITs. There has to be a proper mechanism to identify the truly deserving OBCs (as well as non-OBCs). This can be evolved only on the basis of the latest data.
Murali Sampath,
Swedesboro, New Jersey
While it is a fact that untouchability practised in the past cast a social stigma on the SCs and the STs, no such thing happened to the OBCs who are economically and politically powerful. What a responsible government should do is to work for the uplift of its citizens irrespective of their caste and creed.
P.V. Chandrasekharan,
The order is a severe blow to vote bank politics. Instead of widening reservation, the government should strive to achieve 100 per cent literacy in all States.
C.R.S. Raju,
The court has provided a guideline to prevent misuse of power by legislators. It is embarrassing to see the creamy layers of society claiming to be OBCs and pitching for more advantages.
S.N. Murali,
Reservation should be seen as a means to help people overcome their initial historical disadvantage. It cannot be extended to one at every stage of life and career. Stretching it too far will only generate bitterness and animosity in society, which will cause immense harm to the nation.
A. Ramachandran,

A leading daily reports that Harish Vaishnav, an Udaipur resident, had filed a complaint against the actor, who was spotted smoking on the sets of his latest film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. Ranbir has been summoned on June 26. He will be booked for violating Section 5 of the Rajasthan Prevention of Smoking Act.
We remember how SRK too got into legal hassle for smoking in public at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. But, a smart Khan, handled the situation by agreeing to pay a fine for his wrong act. Well, it looks like the Bollywood actors are having a tough time in Rajasthan.

Dermatologist Training Programs and Requirements
Dermatologists are medical doctors that specialize in treatment and care of the skin. They diagnose and treat skin conditions associated with the scalp, hair and nails.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
Students interested in becoming dermatologists must first earn a bachelor's degree and then enroll in medical school. Upon graduation, they pursue specialized, experiential dermatology training. Finally, prospective dermatologists acquire formal certification in the field.
Formal Education
All dermatologists must complete a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree before they are able to practice. Students must then enter a special dermatology program that includes a residency. Those with academic or research ambitions may eventually pursue additional doctoral degrees.
Doctor of Medicine
The Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree is a 4-year, specialized program that prepares students to work as physicians. Students must complete certain prerequisite pre-medical courses before enrolling, including organic chemistry and anatomy. The curriculum of an MD program may include courses like human health and disease, immunology, epidemiology and the nervous system.
Specialized Training
Graduates of MD programs must enter a specialized dermatology training program, which consists of advanced coursework and residency training. During this time, doctors receive hands-on, clinical training. Most programs last 3-4 years and introduce students to topics such as pediatric dermatoses, photobiology and laser medicine.
Job Experience
Dermatology students receive practical training by completing clinical rotations during the MD program. Clinical training also forms a major portion of post-doctoral residency programs. Dermatologists should be comfortable diagnosing diseases and treating patients before practicing full-time.
Licenses and Certifications
All doctors must be licensed in order to practice legally. This involves graduating from an accredited medical school and passing the U. S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Dermatologists must be certified by the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
Workshops and Seminars
Educational institutions and health organizations offer workshops and seminars to dermatology professionals. These address recent advances made in the field, including newly available software and instruments.
Additional Professional Development
Many dermatologists choose to continue to study throughout their career. Continuing education courses are widely available through local universities. Dermatologists interested in pursuing an academic or scholarly position may pursue a Ph.D. in a related field.

Bibliophile, spring 2012
Bibliophile is published in print and online semi-annually by the University of Kansas Libraries for alumni, friends and benefactors. Printing is paid for with private contributions.
SPRING 2012 A University of Kansas Libraries publication for friends and benefactors Gifts from former dean and current advocate will support future librarians, Kansas history BY SARAH KANNING MAJOR GIFTS The University of Kansas Libraries have benefited from William J. (Bill) Crowe's passion and expertise for more than two decades, formerly as a dean and most recently as a member of the Board of Advocates and chair of the Libraries' capital campaign committee. Crowe's two recent gifts to the University of Kansas Endowment Association, which total $300,000, give the Libraries needed resources to inspire new generations to pursue careers in the rapidly transforming field of librarianship and preserve and promote Kansas history. The Raymond W. and Dorothy J. Sanders Library Scholars Fund provides scholarships for KU students on the Bill Crowe, former dean of KU Libraries. Photo by Sarah Kanning. Lawrence campus who are working with a librarian mentor at KU Libraries, to help students learn about the evolving practice of librarianship and encourage librarians to serve as mentors to students. The $250,000 endowed fund is named for the parents of Bill's late wife, Nancy P. Sanders. The first Sanders Scholar, Stuart Roberts, was named in 2011. (CONTINUED INSIDE) Endowed gift from KU professor emeritus will continue his contributions to Latin America collections BY REBECCA SMITH A new gift from Dr. Charles Stansifer, KU professor emeritus and longtime advocate and supporter of the University of Kansas Libraries, will ensure that the collections he helped to establish will continue to grow and flourish. The gift of $100,000, made to KU Endowment in October, established the Charles Stansifer Fund for Literature on Latin America at KU Libraries. It will be administered as an endowed fund; KU Libraries will use annual proceeds from the fund to support Latin American collections. The newly-created fund is the culmination of a long history of support for KU Libraries from Stansifer, professor emeritus of history and a former director of the KU Center of Latin American Studies. He had previously donated his personal collection and papers, including items from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay and other Central and South American countries. Stansifer's collection, built over more than five decades, contains thousands of items. In addition, during his frequent travels to Latin America, Stansifer helped acquire several unique and notable collections for KU Libraries, including the Lines Collection, the Casement Collection, the Zu�iga Mont�far Collection and the Flores Andino Collection. He has also served on KU Libraries' Board of Advocates since 2008. (CONTINUED ON INSIDE FLAP) IN THIS ISSUE: � Brad Allen returns as new director of Lawrence Public Library � Sanders Scholar ends fellowship � Gift to Art & Architecture Library documents contemporary Japanese prints � Street photographer Gary Mark Smith donates collection � Our partner at KU Endowment: Debbie McCord Sanders Scholar ends fellowship, grateful for experience BY DYLAN DERRYBERRY Gift from former dean (CONTINUED FROM FRONT) After nearly two years, Stuart Roberts, the first Sanders Scholar, has ended his time with KU Libraries. The Sanders Library Scholars Fund was established by former library dean Bill Crowe, and by his late wife, Nancy Sanders, in memory of Nancy's parents, R.W. and Dorothy J. Sanders (see front). The fund was designed to provide scholarships for students at the University of Kansas interested in working with a librarian mentor at KU Libraries. Crowe explained there are often misconceptions as to what librarianship entails. He created the scholarship to expose selected students to some of the interesting roles of librarians, including many that take place behind the scenes, which proved beneficial for its first recipient. "The Sanders program enabled me to explore and engage with the varied facets of librarianship, while allowing me to apply and exercise my personal passions and interests," Roberts said. "It's such a unique program, and as a platform for students interested in librarianship, it is invaluable. I look forward to seeing how the program develops and the range of talent that will benefit from the experience." Roberts, who grew up in Lawrence, graduated in December with a degree in English and classics and plans to relocate to New York to pursue opportunities in book and magazine publishing. The Sanders Scholars program gave Roberts the opportunity to work as an editorial assistant to Beth Whittaker, head of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library. Roberts' work included support for the publication "RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage," editing texts related to the Vivat Liber event in honor of Sandy Mason and other library projects. "We are grateful for the chance to work with Stuart," Whittaker said. "We are confident he has gained experience, perspective and increased passion through his employment as the Sanders Scholar." v The Sanders-Crowe Library Fund for Kansas History supports KU Libraries' efforts related to preserving and promoting knowledge of Kansas history. Proceeds from the $50,000 endowed gift can be used to acquire, process and preserve collections of library and archival materials related to Kansas history; promote awareness of related resources and services at KU Libraries; and hold related lectures, exhibits and other events. The gift is named in memory of Nancy Sanders (KU class of 1967), and to honor their daughter, Katherine M. Crowe (KU class of 2004). Nancy Sanders and Katherine Crowe, 2003. "[Bill's] contributions as a librarian, an administrator and a leader in the profession nationally have brought distinction to KU, and with this gift, he has created a valuable legacy for future scholars and librarians." - Lorraine Haricombe "Bill's commitment to service and his passion for librarianship, throughout his career and into his retirement, have been unparalleled," said Lorraine Haricombe, dean of KU Libraries. "His contributions as a librarian, an administrator and a leader in the profession nationally have brought distinction to KU, and with this gift, he has created a valuable legacy for future scholars and librarians." A Bostonian by birth and education, Crowe spent the early years of his career with Boston Public Library, Indiana University Libraries, and Ohio State University. He was dean of libraries at KU from 1990-96, and then served as the vice chancellor of information services until 1999, when he became the Spencer librarian. In phased retirement, he became part-time special assistant to the dean of libraries at KU in 2007 before retiring in 2010. A member of the KU Libraries Board of Advocates, Crowe serves as the chair of the Libraries' capital campaign committee. v Bibliophile is published in print and online semi-annually by the University of Kansas Libraries for alumni, friends and benefactors.

Dean of Libraries - lorraine j. haricombe | Editor - Rebecca Smith Content - Sarah Kanning and Dylan Derryberry Design and production - Courtney Foat and Claire Dooley Brad Allen returns to Lawrence as the new director of the Lawrence Public Library BY SARAH KANNING Brad Allen, a KU alumnus and former Libraries student employee, has just been hired as the new director of Lawrence Public Library. Allen said he is eager to return to Lawrence, and excited about the potential of Lawrence Public Libraries and KU Libraries working together. "What we do is different and complementary," Allen said. "We can potentially share resources and deliver services more efficiently for both. KU is such a big part of so many people's lives in the Lawrence community. I'm looking for innovative and fun ways for us to partner." His goals for Lawrence Public Library focus on the community. "I see Lawrence as a place where people want to come together and share stories as a community," Allen said. "We want to provide them with spaces where they can create and share ideas out into the digital world, too, and I think we can do that with the new building project." "We also need to make sure that a lot of people aren't being left behind because they can't afford the resources at their house," Allen said. "It's our job to provide resources, and provide help where we can, to help people develop the new skills they need in this new economy." Investing in children's collections is another priority for Allen. Allen has a longstanding love of libraries--and a long history of library work. He worked for the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library one summer in high school "shelving DVDs and stuff," and at KU, he spent his junior year working for KU Libraries in the marking department, embossing the spines of books with a hot metal brand. Not the most glamorous jobs, maybe, but he already suspected that librarianship was the right path for him. Brad Allen at the Sacr�-Coeur Basilica in Paris, August 2011. The photo was taken by his wife, Erin Bennett, on their first European vacation last summer. He spent much of his free time at KU making music, playing guitar and bass for a popular local band, Vitreous Humor, which played KU's Day on the Hill festival in 1994. After completing his undergraduate degree at KU, Allen said, "I discovered that a bachelor's in American studies and psychology can be hard to parlay into a job. And I wanted to find something that would suit my strengths and make some small difference in the world." So he earned a master's of library science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since then, Allen has worked for 10 years in public libraries, including the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. Allen began his new job as director of Lawrence Public Libraries on May 1. v Latin America collections (CONTINUED FROM FRONT) "My colleagues and I are humbled by Charley's generous gift, and by his long support of our work and our collections," said Lorraine Haricombe, dean of KU Libraries. "With his gifts and his unstinting efforts on our behalf, spanning nearly five decades, he has helped us create truly world-class collections in Latin American literature here at KU." The gift will count toward Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, a comprehensive campaign which held its public kick-off in April 2012. Since 1979, Stansifer has provided philanthropic support to KU valued at more than $400,000. His gifts of more than $250,000 to KU Endowment have supported various areas across the university, including student travel grants to and from Paraguay and scholarships for Latin American research through KU's Department of History and the Center of Latin American Studies. In addition, he has also provided a collection to KU Libraries with an estimated value of more than $100,000. The fund will be managed by KU Endowment, the independent, nonprofit organization serving as the official fundraising and fund-management organization for KU. Founded in 1891, KU Endowment was the first foundation of its kind at a U.S. public university. v A gift to Murphy Art & Architecture Library documents contemporary Japanese prints BY SARAH KANNING A recent gift of library materials on contemporary Japanese prints from Ted and Sumie Childers of LaMesa, California, is a timely addition to the collection at Murphy Art & Architecture Library at KU. Seventeen boxes of books, exhibition catalogs and journal issues arrived last fall, just as Dr. Sherry Fowler, associate professor of Japanese art in the Samuel H. Kress Department of Art History, prepared to teach a fall lecture course and then a spring graduate seminar on Japanese prints. The materials include items in both English and Japanese. Susan Craig, art librarian for KU Libraries and head of the Art & Architecture Library, said Fowler "had a chance to review the collection before it was processed and declared that it had some real gems," which would be of immediate use to the students in her classes. "Many of these publications are from museums that do not distribute their publications through the regular book trade," Craig explained, "so normally only visitors to those museums would get to hear about and purchase them." Childers says of his gift, "I got hooked on contemporary Japanese prints in the late 60's and started collecting in earnest some years later. I subscribed to some Japanese language journals-- good pictures fortunately, as I do not read much Japanese--and bought a number of books, museum catalogs and other related materials as the opportunity presented itself." Craig reviewed the materials and selected items appropriate for the library. "I graduated in the class of '62 and a half (flunked a lot of Spanish), and got interested in the KU art museums one spring morning when I wandered into Spooner Hall," Childers said. "Bergman's movie `The Seventh Seal' was the current rave among the literate/ academic classes, and the gallery had an exhibit of etchings depicting `The Dance of Death.' So I got the idea that works on paper were `art.'" Childers has not only donated publications to KU Libraries, but has also given Japanese prints to the Spencer Museum of Art. Murphy Art & Architecture Library, located on the first floor of Spencer Art Museum, has one of the finest art library collections in the Midwest, and offers knowledgeable, in-depth consultation to the KU community and visitors.

Acclaimed street photographer Gary Mark Smith donates collection to Kansas Collection at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library BY MIKE KRINGS Internationally renowned street photographer Gary Mark Smith--who has shot photos of wars, revolution, peace, volcanic eruptions and most importantly, everyday people--has donated his collection to the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas. Smith, a KU alumnus, has made a career of shooting photos of candid moments on the streets of 66 countries on six continents since 1978. His photos have been displayed in museums and galleries, featured in books and will now be part of the Kansas Collection at Spencer Research Library. The donation includes everything from shots of the 198284 civil war in El Salvador to a 1997 volcanic eruption in the tiny Caribbean island nation of Montserrat and photos of street sweepers, police and poverty from around the world. "It's Gary's life work. He's given us his whole life story," Sherry Williams, curator of collections at Spencer Research Library, said of the gift. "I think it's a very compelling story, and he's a great role model for students and researchers. I'm very, very happy to have this here in Spencer." The gift contains thousands of Smith's photos. Smith also donated articles both authored by him and about him, his research notes from international photographic excursions and personal items such as his baby book and high school yearbook. Even though he took a somewhat nontraditional approach to his career, Smith has received plenty of honors from the academic and photographic fields along the way. He was nominated for a William Randolph Hearst Award in 1983, donated work for the George Eastman House 2011 and 2012 History of Photography auctions in New York, and earned a master's degree at Purdue University through a teaching fellowship. "I'm not an academic, but I've always said I work with academic purpose," Smith said. Smith's work has covered daily moments in the lives of numerous cultures and historical moments such as the Russian revolution, fall of the Berlin Wall and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. His artist's statement in part describes street photography as a form in which "predominantly urban people can be studied and photographed in the wild going about the task of living out the commerce and leisure and bustle and sometimes grind of their everyday public lives." The collection will be cataloged at Spencer and available for research purposes. "I'm really humbled by all of this," Smith said. "I'm not going to get used to the fact that I have a collection here at Spencer." v Images courtesy of the Gary Mark Smith Collection, Kenneth Spencer Research Library. Our partner at KU Endowment: Debbie McCord BY SARAH KANNING Debbie McCord, the development director for KU Libraries, has deep roots at KU, beginning 16 years ago at the KU School of Social Welfare, where she managed their events and alumni relations. Since then, she has moved to KU Endowment, where she now cultivates and stewards major gifts for the Libraries and the School of Social Welfare. In her work, McCord has learned that supporters are passionate about the Libraries and want to be supportive and to be a part of continuing a legacy of excellence. "It has been eye-opening and exciting to realize just how many lives the Libraries have touched over the years," said McCord. A chat with McCord might range from libraries and books (her favorite is "Gone with the Wind" because "you can't go wrong with a classic") to cooking and running, her two favorite hobbies. She might even be convinced to share stories about her family, which includes her husband, two daughters and two grandchildren, or their summer travels to Colorado. Learn more about Debbie McCord at www. kuendowment.org, or by contacting her at dmccord@ kuendowment.org or 785-832-7372. v Debbie McCord. Photo by Lisa Schiller.
