SPLENDORA, Texas (AP) — Home for a Southeast Texas family is still an old school bus with no engine and no front wheels.
But child welfare officials are delighted with the commitment the parents have shown since their two young kids were discovered living there virtually unsupervised almost a year ago while their father and mother were in federal prison.
Child Protective Services officials are expected to recommend a judge dismiss the welfare agency's case against Mark and Sherrie Shorten in court Tuesday, allowing the couple to regain full custody of their 12-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son.
"That's what I've been targeting all along," Mark Shorten said.
The children are in school and the parents have complied with CPS care plans, evaluations and therapy, agency spokeswoman Gwen Carter said.
"They're doing really well and the family is doing really well," she said. "The staff is very proud of them."
Last March, a postal worker, after repeatedly spotting two disheveled children in the Montgomery County neighborhood about 35 miles northeast of Houston, became concerned and notified authorities. Welfare officials quickly arrived and placed the kids in foster care while media coverage led with images of the outwardly dilapidated bus on a trash-littered lot.
Carter said officials are accustomed to poor families living in tough conditions and while it's not illegal to live in a bus, "sadly, that was the sensational part, the condition of their living environment and they were left there all day."
Despite its worn appearance, the bus inside had been renovated, furnished, had hot and cold water and a bathroom, and was air-conditioned.
"Let's be blunt," Mark Shorten said. "Once I saw pictures on the news and read the full story, I was glad somebody pulled my children out of that mess. Both of them suffered through that mess."
"My main focus when I got home was getting my kids back home," Mark Shorten said. "And I did that. Life's as good as it's going to get at the moment but we're trying to make it better."

Kelly Gets His 11TH As Surfing's biggest "oops" is Finally Resolved
12 or so hours after the ASP botched the math and crowned Kelly Slater champ one heat too early at the Rip Curl Search Pro "Somewhere" In San Francisco, surf fans all over the world were woken up from their post-championship party with an apology—Kelly was not champ. The boxes of "Ke11y" t-shirts had already been handed out and the champagne had flowed for hours when Kelly found out he needed one more heat to actually win the title. Thankfully the champ hadn't gone in to full celebration bender mode and blown off the rest of the event. Kelly, unlike most, was ready to go back to work. With the mathematical equation resolved, the ASP figured out that Kelly needed just one more heat win. In his round four heat, Kelly beat Gabriel Medina and Miguel Pupo, to finally secure the title. After a long few days of apologies, press releases, press-release-retractions, and endless stream of web banter (Bobby Martinez is loving every second of it), all was well in Slaterland. For at least 24 hours, Owen Wright still has a small mathematical chance at taking the title, but Kelly's final nail in the coffin sealed the deal, and for now, the next question will be, will Kelly come back?
There is one more day of competition at the Rip Curl Search Pro, and with "Slatergate" behind us, it's time to watch the battle for second place, and look forward to the Vans Triple Crown on the North Shore of Oahu. So Kelly, all those congrats tweets we sent you, then took back, well—Congrats again champ! And thanks for the t-shirt…—Chris Coté
After being crowned prematurely earlier in the week, Kelly Slater officially wins his 11th World Title after smoking Brazilian surfers Gabriel Medina and Miguel Pupo. "I was going against kids who could be my kids."
OCEAN BEACH, San Francisco/California (Sunday, November 6, 2011) – Kelly Slater (USA), 39, has officially claimed a historic 11th ASP World Title today, clinching the year-long pursuit with his advancement in to the Quarterfinals of the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco.
In tricky three-to-five foot (1.5 metre) waves, Kelly Slater got the best of young Brazilians Miguel Pupo (BRA), 19, and Gabriel Medina (BRA), 17, in his non-elimination Round 4 heat to advance directly through to the Quarterfinals and secure an unprecedented 11th ASP World Title.
"It was a confirmed the other day, but we're sure now," Slater said. "I'm stoked. I was upset about it, but I also thought it was really funny. There are no hard feelings towards ASP and mistakes happen. It's easy to point things out. It was a little tough to readjust and I was going against kids who could be my kids and they throw radical airs. I was hoping for big offshore barrels, not closeout onshore ramps. I just didn't know what to expect out there. I didn't know if we'd have air sections and it was kind of flat with a lot of power. The waves were closeouts and fast with a weird landing."
Slater, who was prematurely crowned the ASP World Champion after a mathematical error occurred earlier this week, admitted that securing his 11th elite crown today was a bit lackluster, but remained positive regarding the mistake.
"It's a little anticlimactic," Slater said. "I texted my mom, because it's funny because I didn't really have the emotion the other day. This is my profession and it's a little on me to know the situation and it's not just everyone else's fault. There have been a few of these mistakes over the course of history, but this one was a bit weird, but I called Renato (Hickel) in the morning after I won because I was supposed to do this Dan Patrick show and I hadn't won yet. I knew we wouldn't surf for a day or two so people could get it out of their system and I could have a few days to refocus."

Surfline, official forecasters for the Rip Curl Pro Search, are expecting new NW groundswell will begin to rebuild the surf throughout the afternoon on Sunday and will be strongest Monday. Smaller, but very contestable, leftovers prevail Tuesday. Onshore flow will continue Sunday, with lighter and more favorable early next week, especially Tuesday. Unstable weather and wind prevails for the last few days of the waiting period with an area of low pressure directly off the coast.
Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco: Day 3 Results And Wrap
OCEAN BEACH, San Francisco/California (Sunday, November 6, 2011) – The Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco returned to Ocean Beach in peaky three-to-five foot (1.5 metre) waves after three consecutive lay days and saw Kelly Slater (USA), 39, officially claim his 11th ASP World Title while completing the non-elimination Round 4.
Josh Kerr (AUS), 27, stayed busy in the peaky conditions on offer at Ocean Beach and built momentum throughout his Round 3 bout, consistently launching impressive airs before throwing a one maneuver inverted grab-rail reverse to secure his position in Round 4. "Even when it was pumping I couldn't find good waves so I was just catching whatever is in front of me," Kerr said. "Sometimes you can be patient and you can't find anything, so for me it's best to stay busy. The best ones form up in the middle of the bank and I had that one at the end and just did an upside-down grab-rail reverse."
Kerr, current No. 8 on the ASP World Title Rankings, continued to assert his dominance in Round 4 when he launched a massive alley-oop, earning a near-perfect 9.57, out of 10, for the ride and the innovative Australian's advancement through to the Quarterfinals comes as a relief after two early exits in the European events. "Tiago (Pires) just came from a final in tiny waves, and he's no slouch in the powerful ones so I knew he'd be tough," Kerr said "Every win's a good win. I've had a couple of bad results in Europe so it feels good to come back and be where I want to be."
Kieren Perrow (AUS), 34, current No. 32 on the men's ASP World Ranking, continued his dominance amidst the tricky Ocean Beach lineup to advance directly through to the Quarterfinals over fellow veteran Taylor Knox (USA), 40, and Matt Wilkinson (AUS), 23.
"I'm stoked, I needed a good result here and I'm looking forward to some good waves," Perrow said. "It was looking like it was starting to improve. I didn't expect to win a heat with two 5's, but I'm wrapped and hoping to get some good waves. There are lots of waves breaking everywhere and I got my scores in the first few minutes. It's a bummer when the conditions are like that, but fortunately no one loses in this round."
Alejo Muniz (BRA) ,21, got the best of a last-minute exchange to overtake Brett Simpson (USA), 26, to secure his Round 4 heat victory and a position in the Quarterfinals. "It was tough out there, you can't hear the announcer, so you never know what you need," Muniz said. "Sometimes you don't have to be the best, you just need two nice waves. I liked this heat and I'm stoked to get through to the quarters. I tried to surf in the pocket because I knew it was a set wave and, didn't know Brett had the left. I knew I had a mid-range score and just tried to get a good score."
Muniz, who has been a standout on his rookie year amongst the ASP Top 34, is in contention for the coveted ASP Rookie of the Year award, but knows it will be difficult to surpass Julian Wilson (AUS), 22. "It's been great, I'm trying to learn as much as I can," Muniz said. "It's really hard to make heats and I'm trying to find confidence because everyone surfs so well. I'm just trying to enjoy myself. I know it'll be hard to catch Jules (Julian Wilson). He's been ripping, but I'm just trying to get another result."
Patrick Gudauskas (USA), 26, went for broke in his Round 3 heat, eliminating powerful South African Jordy Smith (ZAF), 23, when he launched a massive Gorkin flip, earning an 8.73 for the single maneuver. Unfortunately for the young American, an awkward landing on his back ankle sent him to the beach early and the official diagnosis on the potentially serious injury has yet to be confirmed.
The Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco is Stop No. 10 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title Series and holds a waiting period from November 1-12. The 2011 Pro Search will be broadcast live on Fuel TV, Livestream.com and live.ripcurl.com

iHerb Customer Reviews
Purchased this as an alternative to coffee for my husband. I drink it too now. A drip filter seems to make it best rather than a plunger. Very pleasant to drink - especially at night when coffee is not an option for me for sleeping.
Brewing ground cocoa beans is a wonderful experience. It makes your whole home smell of chocolate! I drink Crio Bru for the health properties -- go online to their site to see -- and one must remember it's made like coffee, not with milk like hot chocolate, so it is more like a chocolate-aroma tea. But with a bit of stevia and half and half, it's really great.

New Drug Cures Hepatitis C in Record Time
There is now a drug that can cure Hepatitis C in record time. The price tag? About a thousand dollars a pill. An Austin woman is among the first group of patients prescribed to the new treatment.
The pricey pill was approved by the FDA less than six months ago. It's called Sovaldi.
"This is the golden pill. It literally is gold."
The cost is controversial. "It blew me away when I found out how much it actually costs per month," said VanOsselaer.
When used for 12 weeks with ribaviron and interferon, Doctor Todd Sheer at Austin Diagnostic Clinic says it has an 80 to 90 percent cure rate for Hepatitis C.
"Basically it interferes with the replication of the virus," said Sheer.
VanOsselaer believes she contracted the disease as a teenager in the 70s after back surgery.
"I recieved concentrated transfusions around the clock because I have a bleeding disorder, so I recieved blood from hundreds of blood donors," said VanOsselaer.
"The baby boomer generation has a five times greater likelihood of having Hepatitis C than any other birth cohort," said Sheer.
Like millions of others, VanOsselaer lived with Hepatitis C for 30 years before ever knowing.
"I started feeling the symptoms about four years ago. I started feeling lousy, really fatigued, lost my appetite," said VanOsselaer.
Sheer put her on the Sovaldi-based treatment as quick as he could.
"I think it is a big medical breakthrough in the field of Hepatitis C, never before have we had such an effective medication," said Sheer.
If it weren't for her insurance, VanOsselaer says she couldn't have afforded it.
"It costs us about $200/month because we're really fortunate because our insurance company pays. The actual cost is more like $35,000/month for the three medications together."
Three months later, the virus is undetectable.
"This is the best news I can hope for," said VanOsselaer. "This is what I wanted."
If the virus goes undetected for six months post-treatment, Sheer says VanOsselaer will be considered cured.

DESTIN — Tom Catanese says his four children are mystified at his past few vacations.
Last year, he bicycled in China. A few weeks ago, he returned from a month-long bicycle tour of Greece.
Catanese, a 55-year-old real estate agent in Destin, pedaled 1,650 miles for 25 of the 30 days he was in Greece, traveling 60 to 65 miles a day.
Most of the time the 11-person group Catanese traveled with would separate and journey to the next stop at their own pace. They would meet up at hotels or campsites at the end of the day.
View a photo gallery from Catanese's trip to Greece.
Catanese tried to treat himself to a dip in whatever cool blue body of water they stopped near after a long day on the road.
"I saw the best parts of Greece," Catanese said. "Seventy-five percent of the roads I traveled on had no cars."
Many of his destinations would be difficult to get to in a car, Catanese said. Cycling allowed him to see more than just the bigger cities.
There was a new adventure every day, he said. He saw wayside churches, small villages full of welcoming people and, of course, picturesque views of the sea.
"You can see it in a picture, but to experience it coming off a road on top of it, there's nothing like it," Catanese said.
There also was a new challenge every day, he noted. Some days he would cycle up three or four of the many mountains in Greece. Other days, a herd of sheep or pack of dogs would be right around the corner.
"It seemed like I always had headwinds," Catanese said with a laugh.
It was a trip of a lifetime, and he said he still misses the country.
"It's hard to leave something so beautiful."
Catanese hasn't started planning his next trip quite yet, but he would love to cycle across Canada someday.
His China trek was 1,000 miles, so Catanese wants to continue cycling farther with each trip.
"There's nothing like seeing this world on two wheels," he said.

PowerPoint in Economics Teaching
PowerPoint does not have to be an instrument of torture. Nobody likes to see an interesting topic reduced to a dull recitation of bullet points (See also How Not to Use Powerpoint). Used imaginatively, however, PowerPoint has appealing advantages for economics lecturers:
- Graphs can be animated.
- Presentations can be rapidly edited and rearranged.
- A wealth of PowerPoint material has already been created (see below).
- You can embed useful things such as graphs, hyperlinks or video clips in a presentation.
Finding Slides and Animations
Textbook companion sites are a good way to find slides.
We are providing some animated slide shows to illustrate models in core intermediate macro. You are free to use and adapt them however you want. We have ongoing projects to create and host more slides.
Our database of learning and teaching materials links to slide-shows and presentations all over the web. You will normally need permission to make use of them yourself.
Getting to Grips with PowerPoint
Do you know how to use the PowerPoint pen? Add audio narration to PowerPoint? Paste an Excel chart into PowerPoint without copying the entire worksheet? We have quick video tips on these topics.
A longer guide is the "PowerPoint Basics" video by Russell Stannard.
A downloadable manual and reference guide can be downloaded from Mouse Training, with permission to redistribute.
Innovative Uses
The Handbook for Economics Lecturers chapter on Lectures has tips for making overheads useful.
A slide show does not have to be arranged in linear order. The case study "Making PowerPoint interactive with Hyperlinks" shows how to create multiple paths, so the presentation can adapt immediately to student feedback.
TechDIS has advice on creating and delivering accessible presentations.
With a microphone and piece of software, you can record narration to turn a slide show into an online lecture for distance learning. SMIRK is one such software tool, developed by economists.

Ritual Tube (Cong)
The tube-shaped ritual jade object called a cong first appeared in northeast China in the Neolithic period, circa 4000–2100 B.C. Although the precise ceremonial use of the cong is unknown, writers in the late Zhou dynasty described the cong as a symbol of the Earth, pairing it with the ritual disk called a bi, which was thought to symbolize Heaven. Cong are rare after the Neolithic period, although they were sometimes rediscovered in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and cherished as ancient objects. Unlike many highly decorated cong tubes from the south-central Chinese Liangzhu culture, this cong is very simple in form, with an undecorated surface. The style and the dark, almost black jade associate it with jades from the Longshan culture in China's Shaanxi province dated to approximately 2500-1700 B.C.

Acceleration Sensor block released
7 comments:
- Andy said...
I think you should have been able to choose wich axis the "trigger" trigs and not only the X-axis.
They could have done a better job with the datahubs like they did with the color and compass sensor.
I hope they will make those thing able in the next version of it.
I think the main reason for the things I wrote about here was not "in" the block is that they where under time pressure scince they can't wait too long after they releast the sensor until they release the NXT-G sensor block.

The group at HiTechnic listen... trust me. They are a great group and I'll pass along your comments to them.
I'm not a paid spokesman :) I just like there stuff. I'm sure they'll appreciate your feedback.

Okay. Thanks, I have decieded to buy the acceleration sensor and the compass sensor this summer when I go to USA. I hope they update the block so it get those features I wrote about.
PS. It is just to sit back, relax and wait'n see! :P

Be warned for rough terrain, there's a lot of "noise" to get around. When LNE is moving, the little jerks and jolts of acceleration the HiTechnic sensor reveals are remarkable... and need to be delt with.

I have the sensor and I have downloaded the block, but when it is set down it doesn't look like that, all it has are the pull down "ports" when it is not part of a loop etc. i don't have any of the stuff at the bottom of the screen.

I've often come across posts on forums or other websites where you see people joking in such a manner about running/logging in as root as if it's something awful and everyone ought to know about it. However, there isn't much that a search reveals on the matter. It maybe widely known to Linux experts, but I really don't know why. I remember always running as root when I first tried Linux years ago (Redhat and Mandrake) and don't remember running into any problems because of that. There are actually some distros that have a bright red background with alert signs all over it as wallpaper for the root user (Suse?). I still use the "Administrator" account for regular use on my Windows installation and haven't ever run into any problems either.
It defeats the security model that's been in place for years. Applications are meant to be run with non-administrative security (or as mere mortals) so you have to elevate their privileges to modify the underlying system. For example you wouldn't want that recent crash of Rhythmbox to wipe out your entire /usr directory due to a bug. Or that vulnerability that was just posted in ProFTPD to allow an attacker to gain a ROOT shell.
Its just good practice on any operating system to run your applications on a user level and leave administrative tasks to the root user, and only on a per-need basis.
TL;DR: Do things as root only when you have to.
There are really two related questions here.
Why not run everything as root, all the time?
Most of the other answers cover this. It comes down to:
It's true that even without doing things as root, you can cause harm. For example, you can delete all the files in your own home directory, which usually includes all your documents, without running as root! (Hopefully you have backups.)
Of course, as root, there are additional ways to accidentally destroy those same data. For example, you could specify the wrong
If you're the only person who uses your computer, the harm you can do only as root might not really be higher than the harm you can do with your regular user privileges. But that is still no reason to expand your risk to include additional ways of messing up your Ubuntu system.
If running with a non-root user account prevented you from exercising control over your own computer, then this would of course be a bad tradeoff. But it doesn't--anytime you actually wish to perform an action as root, you can do so with
Why not make it possible to log in as root?
The idea that the ability to log in as root is inherently insecure is a myth. Some systems have a root account enabled by default; other systems use
It's not objectively wrong to have a system where the root account is enabled, provided that
Often novices ask how to enable the root account in Ubuntu. We should not conceal this information from them, but usually when people ask this it's because they are under the mistaken impression that they need to enable the root account. In fact, this is almost never necessary, so when answering such questions it's important we explain that. Enabling the root account also makes it easy to become complacent and perform actions as root that don't require root privileges. But this doesn't mean enabling the root account is by itself insecure.
In short, you don't need to enable root logins because you have
However, substantial added security risks arise if you log on as root in these ways:
By default in Ubuntu, neither graphical root logins nor remote logins via SSH are enabled, even if you enable logging in as root. That is, even if you enable root login, it's still only enabled in ways that are reasonably secure.
In conclusion:
For more information about root and
If applications are run as root, there is no guarantee that none of them would execute
(This is an example of a command that should not be run.)
It is like eating dinner with a pitch fork when a regular fork would do. Only bad things can happen.
One reason not to run as root that has not (so far) been identified by other answers is trackability. It probably matters less on machines that are primarily single-user machines (your desktop or netbook), but on server machines, if someone is logged in as
Otherwise, the primary reasons for not running as root are:
I use MacOS X more than I do Ubuntu, but there, root is disabled by default, and it still is on my machine. I routinely upgrade the kernel and other similar operations - using
Basically, you should only use the all-powerful privileges of
Why not have root login?
While you can create a password for the superuser account allowing you to log in as root, it's worth mentioning that this isn't the "Ubuntu" way of doing things. Ubuntu have specifically chosen not to give a root login and password by default for a reason. Instead, a default Ubuntu install will use
Sudo is an alternative to giving people a root password in order to perform superuser duties. In a default Ubuntu install the person who installed the OS is given "sudo" permission by default.
Anybody with "sudo" permission may perform something "as a superuser" by pre-pending
Benefits of the sudo approach
Sudo makes it easier to perform a single command with superuser privileges. With a root login, you permanently remain in a superuser shell which must be exited using
With sudo, you still have the option of opening a permanent (interactive) superuser shell with the command:
... and this can still be done without any root password, because
And similarly, instead of
However when doing so you just need to be aware that you are acting as a superuser for every command. It's a good security principle not to stay as a superuser for longer than necessary, just to lessen the possibility of accidentally causing some damage to the system (without it, you can only damage files your user owns).
Just to clarify, you can, if you choose, give the root user a password allowing logins as root, if you specifically want to do things this way instead. I just wanted to let you know about the Ubuntu convention of preferring
Why not allow root login over SSH?
Even if your root user does have a password enabling you to log in as root, it is still a good security practice to disable direct root login from outside, such as in SSH. It is reasonable for users to have to
The potential benefits to this are mostly security-related:
There are a lot of aspects behind this approach. Some of them are:
here is a good article : http://cf.stanford.edu/policy/root
Its like arming a little kid with an AK47, while he can happily play with his paintball gun. ;)
I mean its wrong because you and your applications will have more privilege then they need and that is when things can and sometimes will go wrong :(
Just one word: security.
Lets say you have been cleaning out an administrative area. You get tired of password, so you
Reasons against using root:
Reasons FOR using root:
Seems to me that a non-root account could still fall victim of those reasons against using root, the most it adds is a confirmation for your actions. I think that as long as you know what you're doing, you're perfectly safe using root. There, I said it.
Running as root is bad because:
The reason why you couldn't find information about why it's bad is because, well, there is way too much data in the internet :) and that a lot of people that have been using Linux for a long time think like you do. This way of thinking about the root account is fairly new (a decade maybe?) and a lot of people still get annoyed by having to use sudo. Especially if they are working on a server which means they went in with the intention to make system changes. Probably brought on from previous bad experiences and security standards most sysadmins know better but they still don't like it :).
Among other answears I can add that there is a difference between Administrator in Windows and root in Unix. Administrator still have some restrictions in systems, where root does not have any restriction. The correct analog of root in Windows is System user.
The bad thing to use PC under root/System is that you can accidentially destroy anything without any warning from OS.
Software is based on shared libraries, dependencies, configuration files, etc.
It's just too easy mess up when operating as root. You can clobber the entire system in like one command ...
Very nice question... Let me answer it from a practical point of view:
When I started using Linux, which is more than 10 years ago, the major distributions did not advertise using non-root accounts as much as today. As I was used to Windows I also did not see a point in using a constrained user account. In particular because I had to enter "su" very often - sudo wasn't that popular back then. ;-) So I always logged in as root because I had a lot of maintenance to do to get my system well configured. But guess what, any fresh installed system became quickly very unstable.
One concrete problem for instance: I haven't had that much harddisk space reserved for Linux so it happened to me a few times that I had 0 bytes left on my partition. Maybe I'm not completely precise because I don't know the exact mechanism, but when you fill up a disk with a non-root account there are always a few kilobytes left. But if you really have 0 bytes left, your system makes weird errors and you might end up with some hard to fix damage in your system because there is a lot of system software running in the background...
Another thing is: That division between root and non-root keeps your system well-organized. As a root-user you might be tempted to not cleanly install your new applications which leaves you with a dirty, hard maintainable system.
But the good thing: Modern distributions do most of the administration tasks for you, so seldom you have to fiddle in the guts of your Linux system with a root account. Entering a password from time to time is sufficient, the rest is done by the distributor's scripts.
But I doubt that you haven't had issues on your Windows system with that if you used 95 oder 98. (At least I had issues with that...) Because of the lack of a clear separation between Administrator and regular user "traditional" Windows apps assume they can do anything E.g. install Spyware if they feel like it, even without telling you. Microsoft engaged in that issue when releasing Vista. (Effectively implementing a sudo mechanism.) So people got very annoying dialogues saying "You can't do that". For some non-Vista-compliant software you needed some dirty hacks to install it, even as Administrator...
When logged in as root it makes it possible for applications, scripts or commandline commands to access sensitive parts of software which can damage the system. This can be the result of inexperience on the user or programmer's part or due to malicous hidden code.
This is a good question. I think the answer is slightly different depending on whether you're talking about a server or a desktop installation.
On a desktop, it is uncommon to use the
One reason is that it gives you an additional layer of security. If you run a program as
A more valid point, on a single-user system, is that the user is prevented from accidentally rendering the system unusable. If the user unintentionally issues a command that deletes all files, he will still be able to boot the system, even if the data will be lost.
Additionally, most user-facing (X11) applications today are built on the assumption that they're run as a regular user account and without administrator rights. Thus some programs might misbehave when run as
On a multi-user system with non-graphical shell access only, many of these reason do not apply. However, Ubuntu still reasonably defaults to an unaccessible
Root account is disabled by default - meaning that it exists but its not usable (except in recovery mode).This means that an attacker is aware of your root account, but couldn't use it even if he/she had the root password. Thus, an attacker has to guess both a user-name which has administrator priveleges, AND that user's password (which is far more difficult than just trying to work out the root password).In XP if you have the Recovery Console installed, anyone who has physical access to your box can boot into it (RC) - no password required. Same as Recovery Mode in Ubuntu.
In Ubuntu, when they say that the root is disabled - what is really meant is that the account is locked.An account is locked by changing the password to a value which matches no possible encrypted value. This effectivly prevents anybody from being able to log into root - since there would be no possible way they could enter the password. Since there are still times when root access is necessary - the Ubuntu kernel has been modified to allow root local login only in single-user mode.

Terry Pratchett is one of the most loved writers in the world. With worldwide sales of over 65 million copies in 37 languages, his novels are eagerly awaited by his legions of fans year after year. His first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was released in 1983 and ever since then the series, with its whimsical heroes and fiendish foes, has delighted both young and old alike.
In 2007 Pratchett announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He has courageously faced the disease head-on, equalling the determination of his characters in his vivid and satirical novels.
In Terry Pratchett – The Spirit of Fantasy, Craig Cabell examines his extraordinary life, showcased against the backdrop of his irreverent works.
With 2011 the 40th anniversary year of his first novel, The Carpet People, this is a fitting time to pay tribute to the author's artistic achievements and celebrate one of Britain's true national treasures. Featuring an in-depth look at the man and his work, as well as on-screen adaptations and a complete UK bibliography and collector's guide, this is essential reading for any fan.

EGLIN AFB — The Air Force on Monday gave their F-35 training school the go-ahead to officially open its doors to teach pilots how to fly the military's newest stealth fighter jet.
Gen. Edward Rice, who heads the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command, visited Eglin Monday to give his formal approval.
"It's a great day for us," said Col. Andrew Toth, commander of the 33rd Fighter Wing, which oversees the training program. "It really solidifies the teamwork and dedication that all the men and women have put into making this happen here."
The training program at Eglin is the only one of its kind in the country. It serves as a schoolhouse for pilots in the Air Force, Marines and foreign services to learn to fly the new jets, which cost about $70 million each. The Navy is set to begin training on its own variant of the jet next year.
The program situates Eglin at the forefront of development of new combat aviation technology, which will likely be used for the next 40 to 50 years, said Lt. Col. Eric Smith, director of operations for the 33rd Fighter Wing.
Monday's announcement comes just days after the Department of Defense said that it has signed a $3.8 billion contract with Lockheed Martin to purchase a fifth batch of F-35s after months of contention regarding cost-overruns. The deal could eventually bring 14 new jets to Eglin, including eight for the Air Force, according to preliminary numbers.
The Air Force currently has nine F-35s at Eglin. That is expected to ramp up to 20 by the end of next year, Smith said.
The Air Force now has the go-ahead to take on their first official class of six pilots who will start training Jan. 7. They plan to put 36 through the program next year.
This year they graduated 12 pilots who trained while the school awaited official approval.
While some of the graduates will stay at Eglin, others will be stationed with their own wings at Edwards Air Force Base in California or Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
The course includes about six weeks of academic training and six weeks of flight training. It uses state-of-the-art flight simulators, at a cost of $25 million apiece, that allow instructors to recreate almost any scenario that could arise in the air, said Maj. Greg Frana, who oversees the simulation program at the academic training center.
The program also relies heavily on about 130 aircraft maintainers who work to keep the Air Force's F-35s ready for safe flight.
The maintainers are highly qualified but had to learn to care for a brand new aircraft in a relatively short time period, said Master Sgt. Shannon Wood, who oversees maintenance on the flight line for the 33rd Fighter Wing.
"This is an awesome milestone," Shannon said. "It's been extremely challenging, but (the maintainers) took it head on and they surpassed expectations with what they've done with this jet."
Toth said that the visiting general did not report finding any major changes the program needs to make as far as execution or safety.
"He's excited for us, excited for the Air Force," Toth said of Rice. "He's very proud of what we have done and accomplished in the last year and getting us to where we are.
"He said, 'Keep up the great work,' " Toth said.
In a news release issued Monday, Rice said the program was robust enough to conduct the planned instruction at Eglin.
"The (evaluation) showed the men and women at Eglin are ready," he said in the news release. "I'm very proud of both those in uniform and the contracted support who put in years of hard work."

Discussion in 'Manchester United Forum' started by Solius, Jul 26, 2009.
I doubt they're much harsher than what he was told by management after the game
Its very worrying, because straight up defending is his strong point and everything else is a weak point. When he cant even do a decent job defending... Spells trouble.
He was also fantastic at Sunderland. To the point where most of the fans on their forum wanted them to break their transfer record to try to keep a hold of him. Some (although on the minority) were even saying they should offer him captaincy because of how well he marshalled their defence.
He generally out-performed Pique in the reserves when they played together, and then did better in their early matches in the first team.
All in all, he was brilliant up until January this year, consistently performing far ahead of almost any other central defender around his age. No doubting he's been average to shit in the time since, but let's not forget everything that came before.
I think Fergie will just take him completely out of the firing line for a while. I'll be somewhat surprised if we see him again in the first team (barring a lot of injuries) before February, it's time just to take him out and give him time to get his head right.
I used to watch him at Sunderland and while he played fantastically for a young defender, he still made plenty of mistakes. Mistakes which were much less of an occurance next to Rio and Vida and why he was rated so highly.
That's just such typical Ekeke logic.
You've made up your mind that his inadequacies have been glossed over by playing alongside Rio and Vidic, so when it's pointed out what a huge hit he was at Sunderland you decide that actually he was making loads of mistakes for them too that were somehow obvious to your expert eye but too subtle for the average Mackem to pick up on.
Horseshit, from start to finish. Any sane person would admit that it's a fair point he played well at Sunderland without Vida and Rio so yes, you might be wrong about Evans needing to be carried but not you, oh no...
Typical Pogue Mahone assumptions. I remember posting about a couple of his mistakes I watched him make at Sunderland. I may even recall one right now where he dived in for a challenge against Chelsea, didnt get the ball and the space was exploited behind him leading to a goal.
There's a difference between playing well for the likes of Sunderland in front of those Mackems and playing well without first choice defenders at United.
Something you'll talk about with Foster at Watford but somehow this is different. Because its not Foster, its Evans.
As I said, he did play really well for a young defender but the mistakes were still there. There's no need to try and rewrite history to make our players sound better but some feel the need.
A young defender can play brilliantly at the likes of Sunderland even though he's made mistakes. Evans himself proved that
Of course he made some mistakes at Sunderland. He was what, 19 when he went there. Name one central defender that didn't make mistakes at that age.
But they weren't regular mistakes, just the same as he wasn't making regular mistakes for the first 18 months after coming back here. Overall in all that time he was performing brilliantly considering his age and the amount of high-pressure matches he was playing against some of the best attackers in the world. It's only since around January that his performances have dropped off significantly.
As I said, he was fantastic for a young defender. Fantastic, brilliant, whatever word you want to use. Just not perfect.
Yes there is a difference - it's generally much harder playing in defence for Sunderland than for United. The exception is being exposed to more high pressure games - which Jonny has generally excelled at for United.
I know loads of Sunderland fans and they all thought he was an absolute god. 'The mistakes are there' for any footballer, in any side.
Same with Foster and Watford fans. But he struggled in a team where we didnt have all our first choice defenders
When you're a young player out on loan a lot of your mistakes are swept under the carpet because not everyone is watching you. Thats what happened with Evans. Had he have made his mistakes in the first team at United he'd have had threads questioning his ability even then, as do most our young players when they make a mistake for the first team
That couldn't be further from the truth. Loan players get a level of scrutiny and criticism that far exceeds that which is aimed at their own players. The fans can't wait to slag off a player who isn't even theirs to begin with.
Which is why those exact same Mackems were so quick to get on Welbeck's case earlier this season. If a player becomes a big hit while out on loan you can be absolutely certain they've been playing very well indeed.
Should have been more specific. I meant they get swept under the carpet on here by our fans. Yeah other clubs tend to take a while to warm to them. But at the same time the clubs we tend to send players to arent used to particularly good players. So once they decide they are good, they can also go a bit over the top. "...for England!" etc
He just made very few mistakes at Sunderland, is all. He was Rio-like. However, that is an interesting example of the very peculiar English 'double perfect' conditional construction, so your post wasn't entirely without interest
Alright, if he was Rio-like how do you want to explain his lack of on the ball skill? Something Rio is know for. He was nothing like Rio and hasnt become any closer.
I doubt he will out till February. That is a long time. The lad is lacking in confidence. That is why the match against West Ham was important. If we had won, there is a possibility we could had a weak team next. So we could have played him again and he MIGHT have done better.
FA Cup is important for us now. We need to beat Liverpool and there is bound to be at least one easy match for us. He needs to play against weaker teams to gain his confidence back up.
He mightnt have been quite as smooth as Rio was on the ball but he was still a very cool and composed player on the ball, and especially for one so young. That was really the most notable thing about his first couple of seasons. There was none of this dwelling on the ball and aimless hoofing that we're seeing at the minute.
Well I disagree. The first thing I noticed about him was his positioning
No he wasn't. He always has been a pretty nervous wreck when he has the ball. There is not one game where he has not played a risk back pass to the GK and he expects VDS to clear it for him. He rarely plays the ball forward.
The ratio of him playing the ball forward to playing it sideways or backwards is very small. He mostly plays it back or sideways whether he has time on the ball or not. The sign of a good player in any sport where a ball in involved is that you should always want the ball to come to you - Cricket, Basketball, Soccer, Football etc.
He is a brilliant defender that had a horrific off night last night. He will see better days but he needs to bulk up and sort his head out. He is not getting a look in so how can he be expected to perform. Phil Neville is an example - often a laughing stock with fans but left for a top 6 team and became their best player!
Smalling does not play week in week out. He still performs exceptionally well for a player who only plays like once in two weeks and sometimes even less. You have to learn everyday from Vidic and Rio. There are no better teammates in this world who you could learn more from than those two. Its a blessing for you if you are a young and upcoming defender and you have two of the top five defenders in your team.
He's having a somewhat prolonged dip in form, which is not utterly worrying for a relatively young defender. On the other hand, he's not progressed as much as I had hoped considering the potential he showed at 19. Let's hope he gets it together soon.
People have to stop using words like 'great' and 'brilliant' when talking about Evans.
Problem is evans is clearly regressing at the minute. This is becoming more than a dip in form. It started at the tail of last season and has got steadily worse.
Did he have surgery on his ankle? Was he having nagging injury problems towards the end of last season and he wanted to postponed his treatment till the season ended?
Took these quotes from the matchday thread but thought they were worth a separate airing.......
initially refering to Smalling Fergie went on with.....
"and the form of Jonny Evans on the training pitch. "Jonny had a fantastic season last season and he's starting to come into form again," said the manager. "His training performances have been absolutely superb in the last few weeks. I've got two great talents there."
Theres a good chance that between now and the end of the season Evans will get a run of games, heres hoping the above is true and we see him back to the composed defender that impressed so much last season. A very important player for us potentially
Great news. There was never any doubt he'd find his form again. If he's upped his game in training it can't be long before he's back to his best in a competitive game.
Its all about the squad from here on in imo. Valencia, Rooney, Evans are all vital players that have been missed. If we can keep the majority of the squad fit, add those 3 and it bodes well.
If he learns how to defend crosses we will have two of the best two young center backs in the epl at our disposal
It was pretty lucky that no one thought of crossing the ball against us during that record breaking defensive run last year wasn't it?
Well, I think Fergie just wants to keep Evans sweet while it seems Smalling has moved ahead of him in the pecking order.
I would not be surprised if Evans plays against Liverpool.
Two seasons ago.
Possibly. Although if Evans wasn't playing really well in training he'd be well aware of that fact. Which would mean Fergie coming out and saying he was playing superbly would be more likely to confuse the hell out of him than keep him sweet.
Obviously his form has dipped but I find it strange that a good number of posters on this forum seem to have completely forgotten his terrific performances alongside Vidic over the last couple of years, especially in Europe. All this talk that Smalling is a better defender and a better prospect is such knee-jerkery, Evans has proven himself as one of the best young defenders in world football and a dodgy start to this season doesn't change that in my eyes.
Erm.. to be honest, i've always felt he was incredibly overrated, even during gour fantastic spell of clean sheets 2 seasons ago. I'm not saying he is a bad player, but from the first day, he had always been suspect in the air, as well as with players running at him, and that had not changed one bit since then. Smalling on the other hand, possesses all the qualities needed to be as good as Rio. All he need is experience, which is the only advantage Evans had over him.
I think Smalling is a good prospect but he hasn't shown anything like the potential that Evans has shown- the boy has had mature performances against Inter, AC Milan, Chelsea and Arsenal to name but a few. He's still in his early twenties and people are writing him off because he's had a dodgy start to the season!
I just can't agree with you when you say he's always looked suspect in the air or "with players running at him", I have seen great defenders look poor on occasion in both of those facets of defending but you can't expect young players to be completely perfect and never make mistakes. I contend that Evans will be one of the best cb's in the world when he's in his mid to late thirties, he's already proven so much.
His breakthrough performances for Sunderland and Northern Ireland really make a joke of this post. Suspect in the air isnt true. As a defender he reads the game, more like Rio in that respect. That style of defender rarely excels in their early 20's, Remember Rio and West ham and Leeds? Similar type of "errors", its part of the course.
Players running at him is a bit of lazy criticism. Look around the world and name me anyone defender who is comfortable with it? Look at Puyol/Pique? Look at Rio and the weekend, look at Vidic during his own dodgy spell. Its all about confidence levels imo.
Smalling is promising I agree but Evans is still the better option at the highest level. Having him there will only focus the mind more as far as Jonny is concerned. That my take on it anyway.
I find it really funny people slagging off Evans. His performances over the last two season have proved that he's one of the best Young CB's around. During our 'Have not conceded" run he was an integral part. Infact that whole season he was a integral part of the whole team as it seemed when Rio was fit, Vida was injured and when Vida was fit Rio was Injured. Evans fitted in perfectly.
You don't suddenly become a shit player over night. He's going through a spell of bad form, every player does. Rooney isn't in the best of form right now and he's still a top top player.
Ah maybe because Smalling has been here only 6 months and still hasn't played against the likes of Milan and Inter. We still have not played Chelsea this season. And he did not play the one game we played against Arsenal this season. I still think Smalling will become a better defender than Evans.
It's like the people who said " I always said Rooney was shit" when his form dropped so badly after his injury against Bayern. They were pretty quiet about that view earlier that season.
Rooney proved he is class over a long period before his form dropped, and Evans is the same. Rooneys getting back to a better level, and I'm sure Evans will be the same given time.
But Rooney is one of the best players and one of the best strikers in the world. Evans is no where close to being the best defender in the world.
Separate names with a comma.

In an age when children have access to a multitude of exciting high-tech devices, it's easy to believe that "old-school" games and toys are no longer desirable. After all, why bother a child with a bland picture book when he can use an interactive reading game on his mother's smartphone? Well, a few recent studies have suggested that you should think twice before reaching for the e-reader. And this goes for kids' books, too.
First of all, for those new to the concept, e-books are versions of traditionally-published books that are available in electronic form on reading devices like the iPad or Kindle, rather than on paper like traditional published versions. There are many reasons why e-books are in such high demand today: they are inexpensive (sometimes free); multiple books can be stored on one single hand-held device; e-readers have built-in highlighting and bookmarking features; e-books often contain enhanced features such as images, discussion questions, or related activities. And, as far as most kids are concerned, anything new is automatically desirable.
So, why are the experts concerned? First of all, e-readers are designed for individual use; paper books are more easily shared. Because we know, from multitudes of studies, that a child's foundation of language is often built upon hearing their parents read aloud, it's important that a book can be shared between parent and child. Second, e-books tend to have more "bells and whistles"; most traditional books contain a simple, linear narrative. Although the added features of an e-book may make the story more fun for young eyes, a child's retention and comprehension is higher with a simple storyline.
When your child's eighth birthday rolls around and you're stuck deciding between a Thomas & Friends e-book or a good old paper copy of Thomas favorites, consider the purpose of the book itself. E-books are great for the interactive exploration of your child's favorite stories or characters. But, if you are looking for a way to increase your child's literacy and comprehension skills, a traditional paper book is the way to go.

Turkey and White Bean Chili with Chocolate
(Makes 8-10 servings. Recipe adapted by Kalyn from The Bon Appetit Cookbook.)
1 lb. dried white beans, soaked overnight and cooked
(you can substitute three 15 oz. cans of beans; I used 2 cans of white beans and 1 can of pinto beans )
2 cans (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes
4 cups homemade beef stock or 2 cans (14 oz.) beef broth plus 1/2 cup water
2 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 T dried oregano
1 T ground cumin
4 T ground Ancho chile powder (I use Penzeys)
2 T chile powder
(If you don't have Ancho chile powder, just use 6 T chile powder, or maybe a little less if you're making for kids)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. ground Chipotle chile powder (optional, I use Penzeys; I would omit this if making for kids)
1 lb. ground turkey
3 bay leaves
2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch salt
1 cup (more or less to taste) chopped cilantro (optional)
sour cream and/or grated cheese for serving (optional)
To use canned beans, drain beans into a colander placed in the sink and rinse well with cold water (until no more foam appears.)
Put beans, tomatoes and beef stock into a medium-sized soup pot and start to simmer. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in heavy frying pan, add chopped onion and saute until onions are soft and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add dried oregano, ground cumin, ground Ancho chile powder, chile powder, and ground Chipotle chile powder and cook about 1 minute, or until it's fragrant. Put onion/spice mixture into pot and continue to simmer.
Add 1 tsp. more olive oil to frying pan and add turkey. Cook until well done and starting to brown, breaking apart with turner. Add turkey to soup pot. Deglaze frying pan with 1 cup water, scraping any browned bits off bottom of pan, and add to pot.
Add bay leaves, cocoa powder, and salt to the pot. Simmer on low heat until all ingredients are well blended and tomatoes are starting to break apart, about one hour, or a little longer if you prefer. Turn off heat and stir in chopped cilantro if using. Let sit five minutes, then serve. Can be served with sour cream and/or grated cheese if desired
South Beach Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.
