Wikipedia quotes her to be the "matriarch of system administration"
Myself and most I've worked with have a dog eared, coffee/tea stained edition somewhere close to the top of their stack.
And its a sign of a veteran admin to display their 1st or 2nd edition on the bookshelf as well.
You know the ones they are bright colored and have the cartoons on the front!
She and her writing team were for sure influential in helping System Administration become a professional field not just the guys in the basement.
After an exhustive search of the area, last known location as 426 miles northwest of Cape Reinga, the Kiwi Airforce found no trace of her and her companions 84-year-old wooden schooner, "Nina." It is ironic that she was only about 10 years younger than the boat at the time of the her disappearance.
A heartfelt sense of loss from the community to her family and friends.
Condolences to the families of those also lost at sea on the Nina.

Both are designed for minimum finger travel (in English, anyhow). I doubt seriously that this "new" layout improves upon them in any signifigant fashion, and (from the Wikipidia Dvorak article):
In 1956, a General Services Administration study by Earle Strong, which included an experiment involving ten experienced government typists, concluded that Dvorak training would never be able to amortize its costs.
So if you wanted to switch in any major fashion, you always have to get poeple ewho already type on some other layout to switch, and it's not generally cost effective.

- DORA Home
Consumer Protection is our Mission.
The State Board of Nursing is responsible for enforcing statutes, rules and policies as promulgated by the Nurse Practice Act, Nurse Aide Practice Act and the Licensed Psychiatric Technician Practice Act. The Board has staff overseeing education, licensing and enforcement of nurses, nurse aides and licensed psychiatric technicians. The State Board of Nursing oversees over 110,000 licensees. Colorado is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact which allows nurses to practice in the state of Colorado on their home state privilege.
Effective Date
On March 31, 2015, House Bill 15-1182 became law. The legislation expands the scope of practice for certified nurse aides (CNAs) by allowing certain duties to be performed without a need for registered nurse delegation. Although it became law in March, the new provisions go into effect August 5, 2015.
Opportunities for Public Input
The State Board of Nursing and DORA staff have identified which Rules need to be amended in Board Rules and Regulations Chapters 10 and 13 in order to implement the new law. We plan to have several opportunities for public input as outlined below. As you may notice, the bill's effective date requires us to adopt emergency rules and then hold a Rulemaking Hearing on the same day. This is to make sure there are no gaps and CNAs have a solid regulatory structure.

Effective Date
On May 15, 2015, Governor John Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 15-197 "Concerning the Prescriptive Authority of Advanced Practice Nurses." The legislation significantly changes the requirements for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) seeking prescriptive authority. The changes go into effect September 1, 2015.
Stay the Course - Current Rules Still Apply
We recognize that some APRNs, physicians, mentors and preceptors may be confused and concerned about the implementation of this bill. At this time, APRNs, mentors and preceptors should continue to move forward under the current Board of Nursing Chapter XV Rules and Regulations for Prescriptive Authority for Advanced Practice Nurses.
Opportunities for Public Input
We will provide multiple opportunities as outlined below for the public to provide input on any new rules the Board of Nursing may consider. Be sure to check this website for updates.

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has developed a draft of its first standard, involving criminal background checks for applicants for nurse licensure. The public is invited to view and comment on the draft standard at the following website : nscbn.org/standards-development.htm
On May 16, 2013, Senate Bill 13-111 was signed by the Governor requiring the mandatory reporting of the abuse of at-risk adults. This law was further modified in 2014 and signed by the Governor on April 7, 2014 via Senate Bill 14-098. This law requires that beginning on July 1, 2014 all individuals listed as mandatory reporters must report suspected physical or sexual abuse, exploitation, and caretaker neglect to law enforcement within 24 hours of the observation of the mistreatment.
Further information and the list of mandatory reporters can be found on the Colorado Department of Human Services web site to include an online training on the reporting requirement.
Pursuant to House Bill 14-1283 (now CRS 12-42.5-403), all Colorado licensed prescribing practitioners who possess an individual DEA registration and all Colorado licensed pharmacists are required to register an individual user account with Colorado's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). To this end, the Director of the Division of Professions and Occupations has assigned the following due dates for each corresponding profession for this purpose.
While all pharmacists and DEA-registered prescribing practitioners may and are certainly encouraged to register a user account with the PDMP at anytime between now and before September 30th, these are the respective due dates for each profession.
To begin this process, please utilize the following link for more information about the PDMP and to begin creating a PDMP account.
While account creation normally takes less than 5 minutes, should you have questions regarding how to register a PDMP account, please contact the PDMP Help Desk at 1-855-263-6403.
The Board adopted a new policy for the Prescribing and Dispensing of Opioids, part of a collaborative effort with the Quad-Regulator Boards as one part of a statewide solution to reduce prescription drug abuse and misuse. The Quad-Regulator Boards include the Colorado Medical Board, the Colorado State Board of Nursing, the Colorado Board of Pharmacy, and the Colorado State Board of Dental Examiners, facilitated by the Nurse-Physician Advisory Task Force for Colorado Healthcare (NPATCH). Other boards that license prescribers of controlled substances also adopted the policy including the State Board of Optometry and the Colorado Podiatry Board while the State Board of Veterinary Medicine endorsed the policy.
The development of a joint policy by multiple regulatory boards is a first. For that reason, the policy was drafted through an open process that allowed for full consideration of stakeholder views through multiple public meetings from February to July 2014.

If so, as DORA's Division of Professions and Occupations Licensing Services continues to improve your experience, please be aware that in the current renewal online process you must renew your license and each authority separately (i.e., advanced practice; RXN). Failure to do so will result in not timely being renewed; deemed as practicing outside of your approved license and/or authority; and subjects you to potential discipline. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience you may experience in this renewal process, but we are making strides to improve our service to our consumers.
The Prescriptive Authority Application Instructions in section 12-38-111.6 of the Colorado Nurse Practice Act state the Preceptorship requirement as follows:
The preceptorship shall be conducted either (1) with a physician; or (2) a physician and an advanced practice nurse who has prescriptive authority and experience in prescribing medications. The physician and, if applicable, advanced practice nurse serving as a preceptor to the applicant shall be actively practicing in this state and shall have education, training, experience, and active practice that corresponds with the role and population focus of the applicant.
Effective August 18, 2014, Tramadol will be classified as a Schedule IV Controlled Substance. Please read implications for prescribers and pharmacies here .
Search Online Services
You may search ALISON to obtain information about licenses issued by the Division of Professions and Occupations.
NURSYS Verification (Nursys.com) - Free of Charge
Nursys.com contains data obtained directly from the licensure systems of participating boards of nursing. You may now verify licenses and receive a detailed report free of charge. The report will contain the name, jurisdiction, license type, license number, compact status (multistate/single state), license status, expiration date, discipline against the license and discipline against the privilege to practice of the RN or PN being verified.
Nurses requesting an official verification will complete the online Nursys verification process and pay the $30 per license type fee for each state board of nursing where an application for licensure is being submitted.
Please visit www.nursys.com for more information.
Nurse Licensure Compact
Licensure of a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse whose primary state of residence is a compact state other than Colorado may also be verified with the state of licensure. For a list of compact states with contact information, see Contacts for Nurse Licensure Compact.
The Nurse Licensure Compact requires that states clearly identify when a license is valid for practice only in the granting state. Licenses that are valid for practice only in Colorado are designated as 'active single-state' on the face of the license and also on ALISON. Licenses not identified as 'single-state' are multi-state (compact) licenses.
Legislation passed during the Legislative Session impacts the Division of Professions and Occupations. Please review the program's Laws, Rules and Policies web page to learn of any changes due to legislation.

DNR Online Tree Nursery Now Open
Annapolis, Md. (October 19, 2011) - The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is now accepting tree seedling orders through the John S. Ayton State Forest Tree Nursery at dnr.md.gov/forests/nursery. The nursery began selling seeds online in 2006 and the business has continued to grow, selling tens of thousands of seedlings last year and more than three million seedlings in total.
More than 40 tree species are available this year, said Nursery Manager Richard Garrett. Each tree has unique characteristics. So whether you want to plant a tree that will stifle the wind, grow a visual screen, encourage wildlife to visit, or to help the environment- the nursery has the tree to suit your needs.
The nursery will continue to sell hardwood seedlings in units of 25; however, lots of 100 or more per species must be ordered in units of 100. Conifers may be ordered in any multiple of 50. Wye Oak descendants are also available. Trees purchased from the John S. Ayton State Forest Tree Nursery are available for conservation purposes defined as: Watershed Protection, Wildlife Habitat, Christmas Trees, Forest Products, Soil Protection, Buffer Planting and Windbreak Protection.
Seedlings purchased from the State Nursery cannot be used for landscaping or ornamental purposes. However, the Forest Service fully recognizes the benefits that trees provide in terms of beautification, privacy screening and enhancing architectural design. Homeowners and businesses are encouraged to patronize their local private nursery, garden center or landscape contractor. These professionals can assist citizens in choosing proper trees, shrubs, flowers and maintenance supplies to meet landscaping needs.
Landowners who purchases seedlings from the John S. Ayton Nursery agree to the following:
- That all seedlings and shrubs are planted in Maryland or Delaware for conservation purposes;
- That a planting report be furnished when requested by DNR;
- That the planting be protected as much as possible from fire, grazing and trespass; and
- That trees may not be offered for sale with roots attached for removal from the land as live or ornamental trees.
Use of the online catalog eliminates postage charges and provides planting instructions. To contact a nursery directly, call 1-800-873-3763.
DNR also encourages private citizens who would like to plant trees to save $25 off the purchase of a $50 tree through the Marylanders Plant Trees Program. Coupons are redeemable at 70 participating nurseries across the State. For more information, visit trees.maryland.gov/.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is the state agency responsible for providing natural and living resource-related services to citizens and visitors. DNR manages nearly a half-million acres of public lands and 17,000 miles of waterways, along with Maryland's forests, fisheries and wildlife for maximum environmental, economic and quality of life benefits. A national leader in land conservation, DNR-managed parks and natural, historic and cultural resources attract 11 million visitors annually. DNR is the lead agency in Maryland's effort to restore the Chesapeake Bay, the state's number one environmental priority. Learn more at www.dnr.maryland.gov

City Council's answer is let's hire a consulting firm, what the hell do they get paid for ?
Fredderickkrueger, Its obvious you have no clue what you are talking about this fine women is the worst of the worst don't you remember the secret meeting to elect her as council president, also a few weeks ago complaining she and the council were working too hard and wanted to take a summer break. Well give me a break, a summer break from a part time job, they meet once a week is that to much to ask for a salary of $45,000.00 plus another $10,000.00 for being council president. Yes I live in Cleveland and know the all and powerful Miss Connelly (IN HER TINY MIND) I had the unfortunate experience of working with this evil self centered witch at the Cleveland Municipal Court. I hope a house falls on her.
She's like a bad rash that won't go away
Brain. The reduction in Council was voted in by the voters only because we had no other choice. Council made the rules the voting public did not, if the voters were presented the choice of reducing council to say 10 members in 2010 instead of 19 you can bet there would be only 10 sitting council members today. Other cities with larger populations get along fine with less council members why can't Cleveland?
These bus shelters will do no good in the winter try sitting on frozen stainless steel.
Here you go
Could someone please explain the headline
The real story should be how the Bailiffs got the job in the first place, research that P.D
There busy running the new County Council
It seems that the attorneys have hit the lottery enough is enough already. Nothing but outright abuse of a flawed system.
It's every where do the meth
How did Yvonne Conwell get her job with the recorders office did her husband the Councilman have anything to do with it. She should be the last person questioning someones integrity.
You shouldn't steal from the Man of Steel
It was returned because it was made of Kryptonite very dangerous to thieves
They don't look so good
City Council will be conducting a NS (no smoking) and NTF (no trans fat) checkpoint on Lorain and West 25th. Councilman Joe Cimperman City of Cleveland spokesman, said the checkpoint will start at 4 AM when the first donuts are being prepared and the first cigarettes of the day are being lit. Cimperman said the goal was to reduce the of number cigarette smoking donut eating citizens and make them chew gum and eat fruit instead
And no trans fats

Pub backs Ivory Coast in World Cup to support Swans star Wilfred Bony
Posted: May 17, 2014|
PUB landlord Mark Dowdle had a bit of a dilemma when his operating company started bombarding him with England merchandise ahead of the World Cup.
Running a pub on the outskirts of Swansea, he felt that it had slightly missed the point. He was not alone. All the regulars at The Masons Arms in Waunarlwydd agreed that in Wales's continued absence from football's greatest stage, blatant support for the team over the Severn Crossing was not an option.
It may have been different if the likes of Jonjo Shelvey, Leon Britton, Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge had caught the eye of England manager Roy Hodgson.
But the Swans contingent did not register, leaving customers with a gap to fill.

Now the pub has been decked out in Ivory Coast colours and Mark has even had eye-catching orange T-shirts made with a silhouette of the Swans' player of the year on.
"Enterprise Inns were sending me England stuff like St George's flags and Come on England banners," he said.
"We decided we weren't going to support England. We just sat down with the regulars and put it to the vote. And there was a unanimous vote to support the Ivory Coast.
"We are a big Swans pub and love Wilfried Bony
"He is all over the place. He is unbelievable."
The Bony fan club at the Masons will be tuning in to all the Ivory Coast matches, starting with the opener against Japan on June 14.
And as well as supporting the striker at the World Cup, there is an invitation to pop in on his return.
"We just hope he comes back to Swansea," said Mark in reference to unwanted transfer speculation.
A Swansea City spokesman said: "It's great for the club that the Masons are supporting Wilfried after the fantastic season he has had. Although he is now away preparing for the World Cup, we will make sure he knows that he has their support."

Wisconsin ranks 44th in the nation for new job creation. Rather than rolling up their sleeves and finding new and innovative ways to help create jobs, the Wisconsin legislature is spending its time telling people needing food assistance what they should be eating. AB 110, which will be up for a vote in the Assembly on Tuesday, May 7, is geared toward limiting "the amount of food stamp benefits that could be spent on junk food." But some of the fine print of the bill, bizarrely, would ban people from choosing more healthy and less expensive options for their families. The bill is one of many being considered that are unduly punitive of the poor.
Restricting Access to Organic and Other Whole Foods
As of March 2013, 858,000 Wisconsinites receive FoodShare benefits. The bill, AB 110, would limit FoodShare, Wisconsin's food stamp program funded through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). As the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has reported, Governor Scott Walker has already proposed to require all "able-bodied adults" who receive food stamps (and don't have dependent children) to train or search for work in order to continue receiving those benefits. This even though Walker has failed to create the 250,000 jobs he promised when running for office in 2010.
Now Representative Dean Kaufert (R-Neenah) is sponsoring another bill to further limit FoodShare. Kaufert told the Wisconsin Radio Network that the bill would make it so that a benefit recipient "can't buy six bags of nachos and four cases of soda."
Specifically, the amended program would allow only a third of an individual's FoodShare benefits to be spent on a full range of food as they currently can be. The remaining two-thirds would be subject to the same restrictions as the federal Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutritional program, with some small modifications. (Both programs, of course, bar restaurant food, cigarettes, alcohol, and pet foods.)
WIC is a federal program intended to supplement food stamp benefits for a particularly vulnerable population of women and young children. As such, it has strict -- and at times very odd -- guidelines to focus these supplemental food dollars on nutritionally dense staple foods.
Wisconsin's AB 110 would mandate that two-thirds of a person's FoodShare benefits could be spent only on foods on the WIC-approved list. Exemptions have been added so recipients can also purchase fish, beef, pork, chicken, and potatoes. Strangely, exemptions were not added so that the "healthy" two-thirds could also be spent on a full range of healthy Wisconsin farm products and fresh food.
The result is that the bulk of your FoodShare dollars can be spent on milk, but not organic milk; on eggs, but only on white eggs by the dozen, not on brown, free-range, or organic eggs; on 100 percent whole wheat bread, but not on gluten-free bread for those with Celiac disease; on slices of American cheese, but not sharp cheddar. FoodShare dollars can be spent on dry beans, but not if they come from a money-saving bulk bin at your local food coop. You can get juice boxes for your children, but only Juicy Juice brand juice boxes.
In order for the state Department of Health Services to implement changes to FoodShare purchasing guidelines, it would need to attain a federal waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). But when Minnesota tried to prohibit purchase of candy or soda in 2004, and New York City tried to ban purchase of certain sugary drinks in 2010, both waiver requests were denied. The USDA points out the lack of clear standards to define foods as healthy or unhealthy.
As Bill Approaches Vote, Public Input Needed
According to the Associated Press, the Assembly committee heard input from food companies, grocery stores, and food banks. They told Wisconsin lawmakers that restrictions "would shame recipients and burden businesses with enforcement." Democrats on the committee -- who voted against the measure -- said it "would stigmatize poor people who already have limited options in buying food."
In addition to Rep. Kaufert, AB 110's supporters include Representatives John Nygren (R-Marinette), Kathy Bernier (R-Chippewa Falls), Ed Brooks (R-Reedsburg), Jeff Stone (R-Greendale), Paul Tittl (R-Manitowoc), Garey Bies (R-Sister Bay), Samantha Kerkman (R-Powers Lake), Scott Krug (R-Wisconsin Rapids), Pat Strachota (R-West Bend), Daniel LeMahieu (R-Cascade), Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green), Mike Kuglitsch (R-New Berlin), Michael Schraa (R-Oshkosh), Alvin Ott (R-Forest Junction), Mike Endsley (R-Sheboygan), Jeffrey Mursau (R-Crivitz), and Travis Tranel (R-Cuba City). In the Senate, the bill's supporters include Senators Robert Cowles (R-Shawano), Joe Leibham (R-Sheboygan), Frank Lasee (R-Casco), and Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend).
As Wisconsin Assemblymembers gather to vote on this bill May 7, these elected officials should expect to hear from those whose lives and food choices would be directly affected by the bill.
NOTE: AB 110 passed the Wisconsin State Assembly on May 7, 2013.

So what's the problem?
I'm not understanding here. WIC requirements demand that nutritionally dense foods be purchased, and FoodShare is intended to help the poor make sure that they can purchase nutritional foods, yes? I could see an exception made for those with specific, medically sound and backed nutritional requirements, but I don't see any reason that the state should have to pay for organic or other "fancy" foods when the staples will do just fine. Further, there is no additional work to verify these things, just some education of those on FoodShare.
Rebekah Wilce replied on Permalink
Bulk dry beans and sharp cheddar cheese are "fancy"?
The point is that the guidelines are overly restrictive, excising not just what would be generally consider "junk food" or even what you might deem "fancy food," but plenty of healthy and basic staple foods.
Peggy replied on Permalink
The problem is...
The WIC list was designed to be a list of supplemental foods to go with regular groceries to enhance the health of a pregnant or nursing woman. It would be a terribly unhealthy list for anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions. It would also prevent cooking from scratch for many recipes. For instance, you could buy commercial, chemical-filled bread but not purchase flour or cornmeal to make your own. The list contains many boxes of chemically-laden cereals but not plain oatmeal. This list is too restrictive for a healthy family or aging adult.

Healthy food
"Anonymous" should not even be printed here because he/she is not willing to stand up under their own name. Come out from under your bridge, troll.
The prohibited foods are often CHEAPER than the required foods, and are definitely more healthy. Do T9i want to pay more money to treat medical conditions like heart disease, celibacy disease, and tickets? And for those who have food allergies and couldn't work if forced to eat these foods? This is yet another example of the corporate food lobbies paying off the legislature. And forcing kids to drink cor--syrup-laden drinks instead of real juice? By brand name? "Juicy Juice" gets profits from the taxpayers while we pay again forth health problems of obesity.

Perfectionism in the Face of Something Relevant to Add
So, you should cite the person making the comment, place a comma before the quote and add three dots within quotation marks and following the excerpt — also within quotation marks. And LOL , being an abbreviation , should be capitalized.
Careful with the stones you throw from your glass house. It may be raining.
And now back to the actual topic: cutbacks and redefining what's allowed under food assistance.
The link provided in the article only provides an abbreviated/edited version of the actual bill. In order to get the complete version, one would need to spend some time at the WI government's legislative website. And good luck with that. And then there are the amendments, which may or may not change the actual bill.
Isn't government for-profit fun?

Slamming juicy juice
Since juicy juice is 100% juice and nothing else,(according to the label,) then your point about syrup laden 'juices' is moot in regards to it. Neither do you establish your unproven claim about the juicy juice manufacturer.

I am a lactose intolerant celiac on food share assistance. Because I have a pending disability claim with no income, food share is my only means of acquiring food.
I've read the text of AB110, but could not find where it talks about organics, bulks goods, milk and eggs. What are your sources? Where did this information come from? Do you have access to the list of authorized foods?
Rebekah Wilce replied on Permalink
Link to WIC Guidelines
I'm so sorry, the link to these guidelines was accidentally dropped from the article. I've replaced it. Here it is: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P4/P44578.pdf Keep in mind that these restrictions (with added exemptions as mentioned in the article) would apply -- as the bill currently stands -- to two-thirds of the FoodShare benefit.

By Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. Rhem, USANational Guard Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2000 You can tell it's an election year, because there's a nonstop media barrage telling which candidates are saying what where. But where do uniformed members find clear-cut information on how to vote in their home districts?
Well, look no further than the Federal Voting Assistance Program Web site, www.fvap.ncr.gov. Program officials have created the "one-stop shop" for the roughly 6 million potential voters covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act of 1986.
The FVAP is responsible for informing and educating all U.S. citizens worldwide of their right to vote, fostering voter participation and protecting the integrity of the electoral process at the federal, state and local levels.
To military members and civilian employees and their families stationed oversees, the different voting rules at federal, state and local levels may be as confusing as a maze. Perhaps the most important thing for them to know about absentee voting is how and why to fill out the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot, Standard Form 186.
When a Web site visitor clicks on "Learn About Absentee Voting," several links will lead to different information about the postcard-sized form, which isn't available online. Individuals are advised to see their unit voting assistance officer.
The site gives guidelines for determining or establishing a legal residence. Some service members mistakenly believe they may claim any state as their legal residence or that their home of record is automatically their legal residence. Actually, they must meet certain requirements. For instance, a person must have a physical presence in a state and have an intent to remain or return. Also, spouses can't just assume their sponsor's legal residence; they must meet the same requirements in their own right.
Residency and other rules are spelled out by clicking on "Learn About Absentee Voting" and then on "Voting Residence for UOCAVA Citizens."
Other helpful features on the site include links to state election sites, a handy chart listing the dates of all state primary elections, and answers to frequently asked questions. There is also a link to a U.S. House of Representatives page that lets visitors search for their representative by state and ZIP code.
The site further helps unit voting assistance officers by providing information on training and allowing them to download pamphlets and flyers about the Federal Voting Assistance Program.

In the past few seasons of the Real World, I've noticed an increase in frat guy meat-heads per capita on the show. Where as there used to be one token frat guy, in the past few seasons there have 2 per house ( Philly's MJ & Landon, Austin's Danny & Wes). But in last night's premiere of the new Real World in Key West, the producers have distilled the power of 10 frat guys into one protein-shaking, beer-funneling, Adidas flip-flopping, bro-calling super-duper frat guy: Johnny Bananas.
Born John Devenanzio, the Penn State Graduate, was coined Johnny Bananas by his 'brothers' because he's so crazy in a very normal, Caucasian, athletic, heterosexual way. Here's how bananas he got last night:
- He fearlessly and proudly introduced the world to his blow-up doll girlfriend.
- He jumped into the pool backwards wearing aviator sunglasses –spring break style
- He withstood an excessive amount of whip cream jello shots for the sake of the proverbial party
- He even managed to insult the body of a fragile anorexic girl…twice.
If that weren't enough, Bananas has big plans for the rest of the season. He plans to call every girl in the house a slut in new creative ways and according to an article in his Alma Mater's newsletter, he vows to wear Penn State shirts and hats throughout the show. We know meat-heads across the country will use Bananas to further empower their solid movement.

By Cpl. Rich Mattingly, USMCSpecial to American Forces Press Service
NANGALAM, Afghanistan, Jan. 5, 2005 U.S. Marines and soldiers manning a base along the Afghan-Pakistani border recently began a campaign to distribute much- needed school supplies to the children of Nangalam, Afghanistan, near one of their unit's forward operating bases.
"Whenever we can get out and we have the supplies to distribute, we go out," explained Spc. Chris Ifill, an Army civil affairs specialist from Philadelphia who has been attached to Company I, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. "It's been interesting working with Marines for the first time. They're focused more on combat, but they've been really receptive to integrating me into the unit."
The coupling of Marine and Army personnel has been effective in realizing the humanitarian portion of the Marines' current mission to stabilize and support the democratic government of Afghanistan.
"Having a civil affairs soldier with us has added another tool for us to interact with the local populace, a way to provide something to them that would otherwise be hard for us," said Marine Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Yantosca, logistics chief and information operations officer at Camp Blessing.
Instead of adopting a purely combat-oriented mission posture, "America's Battalion" has become multi-faceted in its approach to its security and support mission in Afghanistan. By winning "hearts and minds," as the adage goes, the Marines and sailors currently operating in support of Operation Enduring Freedom are able to undercut remaining support for insurgency in an area where attacks on coalition forces are not infrequent.
"When you start helping them, they start helping us out," said Ifill, "They can directly see the benefit of working with us when we can hand them supplies their children need."
"You've got to be able to flip the script," shared Yantosca. "One minute you're on a patrol, the next minute you're passing out school supplies."
On a trip last week to a school near Camp Blessing, Ifill and Yantosca passed out book bags full of pens, pencils and notepads to Nangalam school children.
The first thing most children who approach Marines in southern Afghanistan ask for is pens. Thanks to donations from private citizens in the United States, and the Commander's Emergency Response Program and Overseas Humanitarian Disaster and Civic Aid funds, the Marines can start to provide these supplies on a regular basis as Afghanistan still struggles to recover economically from decades of fighting.
Yantosca says the school supplies donations do more than just help Afghan children for the short term. "These children are the future of President (Hamid) Karzai's country," said Yantosca while distributing book bags to the smiling kids. "Building a relationship with the kids in this way means that as they get older, the relationship can be one of mutual respect."
(Marine Corps Cpl. Rich Mattingly is assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment.)

Saints Waive 2011 Seventh Round Pick DE Greg Romeus
The New Orleans Saints have waived 2011 7th round draft pick DE Greg Romeus. Romeus tore his right ACL during his final year at Pittsburgh and then tore his left ACL/MCL during 2012 OTA's. He's never made it to an NFL game but could mount a comeback if he has it in him. It's not easy to bounce back from these types of injuries in back-to-back years but not impossible.
The Saints were also not willing to wait on Romeus to recover because he doesn't fit well with their new 3-4 scheme. If he makes it back next season, it's likely to be with a team employing a 4-3.

Below is the poem entitled The Invisible Man Introduction which was written by poet
Trainor. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Terry Trainor
I wrote the Invisible man poems many years ago. These poems, and I have not submitted them all, was for a little girl who died in a road accident. They are a tribute to her memory. It was a dark and very sad time and I miss her so much. The Invisible Man poems are supposed to to show the the darkness of my world, the way I felt. They are very precious to me. Thank you for reading.
The down and out, invisible man series of poems is about a young man going out into the world and finds he cannot cope. He starts off life on a large slum over spill estate that moved the poor people from London into council housing.
As all the people that were placed their where from different parts of London, gang and turf wars began immediately. This estate was built in the middle of nowhere so the were no jobs, nothing to do and drink became a major problem in the 1970's.
Anyway this very intelligent young man young man thought if he could move away he might have a chance. But his lack of social experience meant he was leaving all his friends, family and loves. He was leaving his history, his past, his roots.
He gets a good job a nice home, new friends, but there is something missing, his real friends. As he grew older he finds he misses his hometown and becomes depressed and he cannot cope. He loses his new friends his job his home and finds himself out on the street with an addiction for strong drink.
He has the clothes he has on and that is all. He is seventy miles from his old hometown and decides to walk back and try to start again. On this walk he becomes dirty, unwashed and ripe. His hair now grey is long and unkempt and he has grown a beard which is also gray.
So he walks and walks until finally thirty years after leaving his hometown he returns. Nobody recognizes him, they think he is a vagrant, which he is. He wanders around familiar places and feels that he has at last come home.
So in his long thick overcoat, long gray dirty hair and unkempt beard, he could be anybody, so he just becomes a lonely old vagrant that people cross the road when they see him. This is a true story.
I hope I can do this series from the eyes of a vagrant and give an insight of what it is like on the other side of society.
Please read these poems with an open mind and feel the way the vagrant feels. He has emotions, needs but most of all he wants to say hello to his old friends and family, but cannot because he is too ashamed.
So he watches daily life, in his old hometown lonely, an outcasts sense of belonging. He is The Invisible Man.

Beautiful Bougainvillea Bracts?

Along many Naples' roadsides, planted in shopping center planters, and even growing here in the Garden lives a shrub the average person has a hard time pronouncing.
Bougainvillea (boo-gan-VIL-lee-uh) (Bougainvillea glabra) is as much of a mouthful as it is abundant in Naples' landscaping. Not only is it a 13-letter word and possibly embarrassing to say, bougainvillea is also a commonly misunderstood plant.
The first thing you may notice about this plant is its striking color. You may have seen it used as a shrub or even climbing trellises, but what sets it apart from the typical green curbside plant is that there seem to be more flowers than leaves because the plant just drowns in color. From red, to pink, to purple, to yellow, and to white, this plant has a variety of appearances. But wait! Those papery-looking flowers aren't actually flowers at all! Just like the poinsettias you get during winter break, those colorful things are bracts, or specialized leaves at the base of the flower. Although bracts are in fact leaves, unlike their green brothers, they do not typically photosynthesize and are usually involved with attracting pollinators or protecting the young buds. The true flowers of the bougainvillea got the short end of the stick; if you look closely, you will find three little trumpet-shaped cream flowers arranged in a triangle and surrounded by three showy bracts. Typically, you'll find two true flowers blooming at a time and the third will be a bud taking its sweet time to bloom. Since the bracts are far more noticeable than the flowers, bougainvilleas provide color for much of the year!
It is hard being a plant in Florida: not only is the soil sandy and nutrient-deficient, we often experience droughts. Lucky for the bougainvillea, it is quite drought tolerant and does just fine growing in nutrient poor soil – two features which make it ideal for landscaping here. So, next time you're driving down one of Naples' bougainvillea-lined roads, you can impress your companions by letting them know what those flashy papery parts of the bougainvillea really are.

A catastrophic, unexplainable plane crash leaves three hundred and thirty dead — no survivors. Among the victims are the wife and two daughters of Joe Carpenter, a Los Angeles Post crime reporter.
A year after the crash, still gripped by an almost paralyzing grief, Joe encounters a woman named Rose, who claims to have survived the crash. She holds out the possibility of a secret that will bring Joe peace of mind. But before he can ask any questions, she slips away.
Driven now by rage (have the authorities withheld information?) and a hope almost as unbearable as his grief (if there is one survivor, are there others?), Joe sets out to find the mysterious woman. His search immediately leads him into the path of a powerful and shadowy organization hell-bent on stopping Rose before she can reveal what she knows about the crash.
Sole Survivor unfolds at a heart-stopping pace, as a desperate chase and a shattering emotional odyssey lead Joe to a truth that will force him to reassess everything he thought he knew about life and death — a truth that, given the chance, will rock the world and redefine the destiny of humanity.

Do more with less.
Stated plainly and simply, that is the purpose of this book: to help you learn how to do more on your web application pages with less script. Your authors, one an avid and enthusiastic user, and the other a jQuery contributor and evangelist, believe that jQuery is the best library available today to help you do just that.
This book is aimed at getting you up and running with jQuery quickly and effectively while having some fun along the way. All the APIs for the core jQuery library and its companion jQuery UI library are discussed, and each API method is presented in an easy-to-digest syntax block that describes the parameters and return values of the method. Many examples of effective use of the APIs are included; and, for those big concepts, we provide what we call Lab pages. These comprehensive and fun pages are an excellent way for you to see the nuances of the jQuery methods in action, without the need to write a slew of code yourself.
All example code and Lab pages are available for download at http://www.manning. com/jQueryinActionSecondEdition or http://www.manning.com/bibeault2.
We could go on and on with some marketing jargon telling you how great this book is, but you don't want to waste time reading that, do you? What you really want is to get into the bits and bytes up to your elbows, isn't it? Well, that's exactly the intention of this book.
What's holding you back? Read on!
All web developers who wish to leverage the power of jQuery to create highly interactive and usable web applications that delight rather than annoy their users will benefit from this book.
Although novice web developers may find some sections a tad involved, this should not deter them from diving into this book. We've included an appendix on essential JavaScript concepts that will help in using jQuery to its fullest potential, and such readers will find that the jQuery library itself is novice-friendly once they understand a few key concepts. And even though jQuery is friendly to novices, it makes plenty of power available to more advanced web developers.
Whether novices or veterans of web development, client-side programmers will benefit greatly from adding jQuery to their repertoire of development tools. We know that the lessons within this book will help add this knowledge to your toolbox quickly.
This book is organized to help you wrap your head around jQuery and jQuery UI in the quickest and most efficient manner possible. It starts with an introduction to the design philosophies on which jQuery was founded and quickly progresses to fundamental concepts that govern the jQuery API. We then take you through the various areas in which jQuery can help you write exemplary client-side code, from the handling of events all the way to making Ajax requests to the server. To top it all off, we take an extensive tour through the jQuery UI companion library.
The book is divided into two parts: the first covering the core jQuery library, and the second dealing with jQuery UI. Part 1 consists of eight chapters.
In chapter 1, we'll learn about the philosophy behind jQuery and how it adheres to modern principles such as Unobtrusive JavaScript. We examine why we might want to adopt jQuery, and we run through an overview of how it works. We delve into key concepts such as document-ready handlers, utility functions, Document Object Model (DOM) element creation, and how jQuery extensions are created.
Chapter 2 introduces us to the jQuery wrapped set—the core concept around which jQuery operates. We'll learn how this wrapped set-a collection of DOM elements that's to be operated upon—can be created by selecting elements from the page document using the rich and powerful collection of jQuery selectors. We'll see that these selectors use standard CSS notation, which makes them quite powerful even as they leverage the CSS knowledge we most likely already possess.
In chapter 3, we'll learn how to use the jQuery wrapped set to manipulate the page DOM. We'll cover changing the styling and attributes of elements, setting element content, moving elements around, creating elements from scratch, and dealing with form elements.
Chapter 4 shows us how we can use jQuery to vastly simplify the handling of events on our pages. After all, handling user events is what makes interactive web applications possible, and anyone who's had to deal with the intricacies of event handlers across the differing browser implementations will certainly appreciate the simplicity that jQuery brings to this particular area. Advanced event-handling concepts, such as event namespacing, custom event triggering and handling, and even establishing of proactive "live" handlers, are examined in detail and brought together in a comprehensive example project.
The world of animations and effects is the subject of chapter 5. We'll see how jQuery makes creating animated effects not only painless but also efficient and fun. Function queuing, for serially running effects as well as general functions, is covered in detail.
In chapter 6, we'll learn about the utility functions and flags that jQuery provides, not only for page authors, but also for those who will write extensions and plugins for jQuery.
We'll focus on writing such extensions and plugins in chapter 7. We'll see how jQuery makes it extraordinarily easy for anyone to write such extensions without intricate JavaScript or jQuery knowledge and why it makes sense to write any reusable code as a jQuery extension.
Chapter 8 concerns itself with one of the most important areas in the development of modern web applications: making Ajax requests. We'll see how jQuery makes it almost brain-dead simple to use Ajax on our pages, shielding us from all the usual pitfalls, while vastly simplifying the most common types of Ajax interactions (such as returning JSON constructs). Another comprehensive example project brings all that we've learned about jQuery into focus.
In part 2, which consists of three chapters, we'll explore jQuery's essential companion library: jQuery UI.
Chapter 9 introduces jQuery UI, and explains how to configure and obtain a customized version of the library code, as well as the visual themes used to style the elements of the UI library. The visual themes are dissected so that we can learn not only how they're constructed, but also how we can modify them to our own needs. Rounding out the chapter is a discussion of the extended effects that jQuery UI adds to the jQuery core, as well as how core methods are augmented to take advantage of those extensions.
In chapter 10, we explore the mouse interaction capabilities that jQuery UI provides. This extends from dragging and dropping to handling the sorting, selection, and resizing of elements.
Finally, chapter 11 wraps up with a thorough examination of the widget set provided by jQuery UI to extend the available set of input mechanisms we can present on our pages. This includes such simple controls as buttons through to more sophisticated controls such as date pickers, autocompleters, tabbed panes, and dialog boxes.
To top it all off, we have provided an appendix highlighting key JavaScript concepts such as function contexts and closures—essential to making the most effective use of jQuery on our pages—for readers who are unfamiliar with, or who would like a refresher on, these concepts.
Throughout this book, unique Lab pages are introduced to help illustrate jQuery and jQuery UI concepts. These labs pages are interactive web pages, provided with the downloaded example code, that you can run on your own local system.
When a new Lab page is introduced, a Labs Icon (the flask icon show at left) is placed in the left margin. This makes it easy for you to find the location within the text where a lab is first described. A handy list of the Lab pages is also included right after the Table of Contents, and links to the labs are provided in the index page of the downloaded example code.
You can also access the Labs, as well as the rest of the example code, remotely by pointing your browser at http://www.bibeault.org/jqia2 or from the publisher's website at http://www.manning.com/jQueryinActionSecondEdition.
Another margin icon you will find sprinkled throughout the book is the Exercises Icon (the triangle and pencil), which pinpoints text passages where exercises that you should work through are presented. Frequently, these exercises will be related to a particular Lab page, but sometimes they are logical extensions of other code examples described throughout the book, or simply standalone exercises that you should solve to make sure that the concepts are gelling in your mind.
All source code in listings or in the text is in a >code>fixed-width font like this to separate it from ordinary text. Method and function names, properties, XML elements, and attributes in the text are also presented in this same font.
In some cases, the original source code has been reformatted to fit on the pages. In general, the original code was written with page-width limitations in mind, but sometimes you may find a slight formatting difference between the code in the book and that provided in the source download. In a few rare cases, where long lines could not be reformatted without changing their meaning, the book listings contain line-continuation markers.
Code annotations accompany many of the listings, highlighting important concepts. In many cases, numbered bullets link to explanations that follow in the text.
Source code for all the working examples in this book (along with some extras that never made it into the text) is available for download from the book's web page at http://www.manning.com/jQueryinActionSecondEdition. For the convenience of those who may not be able to run the examples locally for whatever reason, a working version of the examples is available online at http://www.bibeault.org/jqia2/.
The code examples for this book are organized into a web application, with separate sections for each chapter, ready to be easily served by a local web server such as the Apache HTTP Server. You can simply unzip the downloaded code into a folder of your choice, and make that folder the document root of the application. A launch page is set up at the application root in the index.html file.
With the exception of the examples for the Ajax chapter (chapter 8) and a handful from the jQuery UI chapters, most of the examples don't require the presence of a web server at all and can be loaded directly into a browser for execution, if you so desire. The Ajax examples require more backend interaction than Apache can deliver, so running them locally requires either setting up PHP for Apache, or running a web server capable of executing Java servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP), such as Tomcat. Instructions for easily setting up Tomcat to use as the web server for the Ajax examples are provided in the chapter8/tomcat.pdf file.
All examples were tested in a variety of browsers that include Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox 3, Safari 3 and 4, and Google Chrome.

The CT process involves several steps:
Micro- and nano-CT scanners produce 2D representations of a slice of an object based on material density, measured by X-ray transmissions.
The resulting slice is made up of 3D pixels, known as 'voxels'. Each voxel is assigned a CT (grey) value derived from a linear attenuation coefficient that relates to the density of the materials being scanned.
Since a CT scan is a mathematical representation of an object rather than a true image, it is suited to quantitative analysis of structure and geometry.
The resolution of a scan is largely determined by the size of the voxels. It is in the order of:

Senior Graphic Designers who are practiced in their profession and carry more than 10 years of experience make up just under three-fifths of Senior Graphic Designers. Pay fluctuates from $39K to $84K per year, but expected earnings average $55K annually. Total cash compensation for Senior Graphic Designers runs from $39K to $84K depending on bonuses that can occasionally exceed $7K and profit sharing that can reach almost $5K. Geography is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by tenure. Women make up a slight majority of Senior Graphic Designers (55 percent) survey respondents. Most Senior Graphic Designers report high levels of job satisfaction. Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to a little more than half.

A senior graphic designer is someone who acts as leader for a group of lower-level graphic designers. This design group may be a specific team of people who work under a larger company, or they can be an independently contracted team that an individual or business may hire for graphic design work. It is the senior graphic designer's responsibility to conduct his or her graphic team and to make sure that they are putting their skills together to create truly effective designs for the company they are working for. A senior graphic designer must be familiar with a variety of different artistic mediums, especially ones that are related to computer technology. They should be very knowledgeable and familiar with Adobe's Creative Suite, especially with programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign. These computer programs, along with similar ones, are essential in the modern graphic design market.Read More...
In order to be a senior graphic designer, a degree in graphic design is necessary. A senior graphic designer may get this degree by going through a rigorous graphic design program, such as the one at the Rhode Island School of Design. In addition to this degree, a senior graphic designer should have extensive graphic design experience under his or her belt. It is not uncommon for a senior graphic designer to start off as a lower-level graphic designer and then become a senior graphic designer after gaining more experience and knowledge from the work he or she does. Along with the experience from doing many different kinds of jobs, senior graphic designers should be very familiar with art history and design theory. By studying theories behind art and design, they will be able to make better, more effective pieces of work.

Senior Graphic Designers' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as a Creative Director of Advertising. The average Creative Director of Advertising brings home $90K per year. A Senior Graphic Designer often moves on to become an Art Director or a Creative Director.
Survey takers working as Senior Graphic Designers report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Adobe Illustrator, Design, Project Management, and Web Design are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Desktop Publishing. Most people skilled in Adobe Illustrator are similarly competent in Adobe InDesign.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Senior Graphic Designers with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $50K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $55K. On average, Senior Graphic Designers make $58K following one to two decades on the job. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $60K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
For Senior Graphic Designers, San Francisco provides a pay rate that is 44 percent greater than the national average. Senior Graphic Designers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+28 percent), Los Angeles (+22 percent), Washington (+19 percent), and Seattle (+18 percent). Cincinnati ranks last in the field for pay, reporting salaries 8 percent below the national average. Employers in Dallas and San Diego also lean toward paying below-median salaries (6 percent lower and 3 percent lower, respectively).

|Home > Guides > Plugin Developers Guide > Spring Plugin
The Spring Plugin works by overriding the Struts ObjectFactory to enhance the creation of core framework objects. When an object is to be created, it uses the
class attribute in the Struts configuration to correspond to the
id attribute in the Spring configuration. If not found, the class will try to be created as usual, then be autowired by Spring. In the case of Actions, Spring 2's bean scope feature can be used to scope an Action instance to the session, application, or a custom scope, providing advanced customization above the default per-request scoping.
To enable Spring integration, simply include struts2-spring-plugin-x-x-x.jar in your application.
If you are using more than one object factory, (for example, by including both the Spring and Plexus plugins in your application,) you will need to set the struts.objectFactory property in struts.properties or in one of several XML files via Constant Configuration:
The framework enables "autowiring" by default. (Autowiring means to look for objects defined in Spring with the same name as your object property). To change the wiring mode, modify the
spring.autowire property.
autowire property can be set to several options.
Auto-wire by matching the name of the bean in Spring with the name of the property in your action. This is the default
Auto-wire by looking for a bean registered with Spring of the same type as the property in your action. This requires you to have only one bean of this type registered with Spring
Spring will attempt to auto-detect the best method for auto-wiring your action
Spring will auto-wire the parameters of the bean's constructor
Turn off externally defined autowiring. Annotation-driven injection and injection based on Springs *Aware-interfaces still applies
By default, the framework will at least try to use Spring to create all its objects. If the object cannot be created by Spring, then the framework will create the object itself.
Enabling Spring integration for other application objects is a two-step process.
Normally, in
struts.xml you specify the class for each Action. When using the default SpringObjectFactory, the framework will ask Spring to create the Action and wire up dependencies as specified by the default auto-wire behavior.
However, sometimes you might want the bean to be completely managed by Spring. This is useful, for example, if you wish to apply more complex AOP or Spring-enabled technologies, such as Acegi, to your beans. To do this, all you have to do is configure the bean in your Spring
applicationContext.xml and then change the class attribute from your Action in the
struts.xml to use the bean name defined in Spring instead of the class name.
struts.xml file would then have the Action class attributes changed.
Where you have a Spring bean defined in your
applicationContext.xml named "bar". Note that the
com.acme.Foo Action did not need to be changed, because it can be autowired.
A typical spring configuration for bar could look as following.
To use session-scoped components with Spring and Struts, see the Spring Session Components Workarounds analysis.
The Spring plugin can be configured to automatically reload classes that change in the file system. This feature will enable code changes to be "hot deployed" without having to restart the web container. To enable this feature follow these steps:
Add this to web.xml:
Add Apache Commons JCI FAM to the classpath. If you are using maven, add this to pom.xml
Letting the reloading class loader handle all the classes can lead to ClassCastException(s) because instances of the same classes loaded by different class loaders can not be assigned to each other. To prevent this problem we suggest that
struts.class.reloading.acceptClasses is used to limit the classes loaded by the reloading class loader, so only actions are handled by it. This constant supports a comma separated list of regular expressions:
The following settings can be customized. See the developer guide.
Possible Values
The autowire strategy
Whether the autowire strategy should always be used, or if the framework should try to guess the best strategy based on the situation
Whether to have Spring use its class cache or not
List of jar files or directories to watch for changes
Comma separated list of absolute or relative paths to jars or directories
List of regular expressions of accepted class names
Comma separated list of regular expressions of classes that will be loaded by the reloading class loader(we suggest to add regular expressions so only action classes are handled by the reloading class loader)
Reload the runtime configuration (action mappings, results etc) when a change is detected in one of the watched directories
Uses different logic to construct beans to allow support AOP
This plugin can be installed by copying the plugin jar into your application's
/WEB-INF/lib directory. No other files need to be copied or created.
