Carbon Medical Service Association, Inc. in East Carbon was established in 1952 to serve the needs of coal miners and their families in Carbon and Emery County. In 1992 the clinic became a Federally Qualified Health Center after nearly closing its doors during the softening of the coal mining industry. This Federal designation made Carbon Medical Service eligible to receive Federal and State grants to serve the underserved. In June of 2003 Carbon Medical Service purchased the Helper Clinic at 125 So. Main, Helper. This purchase allowed Carbon Medical Service the capability of expanding its services in that part of Carbon County and allowed improved access for the patients that are served by the organization.
Carbon Medical Service provides comprehensive primary health care services. These services include pharmacy services, preventive health care, patient education, behavioral health counseling, chronic disease management, immunizations, physicals, drug screening and routine care. The population served includes the uninsured, underserved, Medicare, Medicaid and Third Party Payers. Services are provided per Federal Guidelines on a Sliding Fee Discount. These services are provided to eligible patients by a grant from the U.S. Public Health Service and a State Primary Care Grant to serve the underserved. Services are provided to all age groups. The grant funds cover only a portion of our costs; the continued operation of our health centers depends on the collection of fees for our services.
Carbon Medical Service's East Carbon Clinic is staffed by Virginia Wheeler, and David Watkins, Family Nurse Practitioner; and Joyce Caviness, Registered Pharmacist. The Supervising Physician is Glori Allen, M.D. It is also staffed by other qualified staff. The Helper Clinic is staffed by Russell Hunt, Physician Assistant and other qualified staff. The Supervising Physician for that site is Glori Allen, M.D.
Call our East Carbon site at 435-888-4411 or the Helper site at 435-472-7000 to make an appointment. These clinics are accepting new patients. These clinics do not manage chronic pain.

"3 arrested on raw-milk charges" read the headline. One could be forgiven for assuming the news source was the Soviet-era Pravda or the mouthpiece for some other tyrannical regime. What other kind of government would arrest people over moo juice? In fact, however, that headline appeared in the Los Angeles Times, which was reporting on a raid on a southern California business.
On August 3 three individuals were arrested in what NaturalNews.com is calling a "SWAT-style armed raid" carried out by "helmet-wearing, gun-carrying enforcement agents from the LA County Sheriff's Office, the FDA, the Dept. of Agriculture and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control)." James Stewart, proprietor of Rawesome Foods in Venice; Sharon Palmer, operator of Healthy Family Farms in Santa Paula; and Eugenie Bloch, employee of Healthy Family Farms, were charged with the heinous crime of selling unpasteurized (raw) milk without ponying up the cash for a government-issued license.

First, I must apologize with all my soul for once again being absent without any word! The boyfriend whisked me away on a weekend trip, silly me didn't take any pictures, and since then it's been work work work and school!
But most importantly, I must tell you about the most exciting thing that arrived in the mail! A few weeks ago, the every-so lovely Sally Jane Vintage ran a contest on her blog, and my stars must have been lucky because I won! After exchanging a few e-mails to determine taste and size a splendid package arrived for me! I opened it with my mother and it was just like a birthday, or a holiday, or something else exciting! The box was all Mary Poppins and seemed never to end, being filled with all kinds of lovely treasures: tights and dresses, scarves, sweaters, gloves and tiny purses, and even a funny little book that I've been flipping through! I am so overwhelmed by her generosity, it was just the greatest treasure! Or, is, rather.
(Isn't this just the sweetest card! It's so clever and wonderful I almost can't stand it!)
I can't wait to integrate all these goodies into my wardrobe, especially for fall! The boots in the picture above were also in the package (they are comfy as ever and perfect perfect perfect for traipsing around campus--just as I did today!), as well as a terribly intelligent black dress that I can't wait to wear to my new job (exciting! It's still something in retail, but a change is nice, and it is for the best really)!
Thank you so much, <3333!

Midshipmen Spend Semester Immersed in Omani Culture
Posted on: August 22, 2013 08:00 EDT by International Programs Office
Midshipmen 1st Class Brett Beeson, George Davros, and Jacob Snyder share their experience studying abroad in Oman during spring semester:
When we first travelled to Oman in January 2013, one question dominated our families' minds.
"Have they gone crazy?"
Two others quickly followed: "Wait, where is Oman? Is it safe?"
Oman, more formally known as the Sultanate of Oman, is a little-known country located north of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, through which travels 20 percent of the world's petroleum supply. Despite its key geographic position in a region known for its volatility, Oman rarely makes headlines.
The country is led by Sultan Qaboos, who initiated a cultural renaissance 40 years ago when he overthrew his father in a military-led coup. Oman now prides itself on its tranquility and distance from all forms of controversy.
The country maintains a state of peace and comfort, a haven for all travelers regardless of nationality. Oman's unique blend of modernity and tradition incorporates the best of 21st century technology and innovation while holding onto its own rich cultural identity, making it the ideal destination for travel in the Arab world.
In other words, we had most decidedly not gone crazy. On the contrary, we had been given the chance of a lifetime.
Each day began with six hours of strict Arabic study at the Center for International Learning, located in the seaside capital of Oman, Muscat. We participated in Modern Standard Arabic, media Arabic, and conversation classes, in addition to two hours of time with "peer facilitators" – local Omanis who came to provide the center's students with valuable cultural insight in addition to guiding and correcting our language development.
We also attended a research class devoted to further exploration of the history of the region, putting Oman's current state into context within the rest of the Gulf.
Arabic study extended far beyond the classroom, however. Outside school, we stayed with host families, giving us the opportunity to further explore the culture of the country and practice our Arabic with the local population, who were extremely friendly, warm and generous.
We noted several things about the culture. Omani teenagers, though perhaps dressed differently than their American counterparts, were really not all that different. We also appreciated just how tight-knit Omani families were, providing a model of support and love.
Though we originally traveled to the sultanate for the express purpose of Arabic study, our months within this Arab country taught us many lifelong lessons, providing us with an unforgettable, priceless experience.

A Right to Be Hostile: The First Big Book of the Boondocksby Aaron McGruder
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Hilarious Best of The Boondocks — the most controversial, multilayered strip to grace American comics pages since Doonesbury in its prime.
From the "stolen" election of 2000 and the war on terror to Attack of the Clones and Ja Rule, it's been a rough few years in America. Luckily, our hard times have also given us the satirical genius of Aaron McGruder to make fun of it all in The Boondocks, a comic strip that delivers the subversively funny rants of angry black children to 30 million readers in 250 newspapers every day. McGruder has been tabbed "the most dangerous black man in America" (USA Today), and hailed as an artist who "wants to force his readers to live — if only for a few seconds — examined lives" (Chicago Tribune).
His brilliantly funny strip tells the story of a family of suburban refugees from inner city Chicago, featuring Huey Freeman, a radical preteen conspiracy theorist, and his little brother Riley, a desperately cute thug-in-training. Their daily take on the cultural and political icons that make this country tick — from G. W. Bush to J.Lo — results in some of the funniest satire and sharpest dissent around. Featuring more than 700 strips (more than 400 never collected in book form) and including the much-debated and often-banned post-9/11 strips, this must-have collection will delight hardcore fans. And any reader hungry for no-holds-barred truth-telling — young or old, black or white — will be astonished by this savvy talent.
"With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up — and sends up — life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh — and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?" from the Foreword by Michael Moore
"Brilliantly funny and purposefully shocking, McGruder doesn't just want to make his readers laugh; he works mightily to make them think." USA Today
Heres the first big book of The Boondocks, more than four years and 800 strips of one of the most influential, controversial, and scathingly funny comics ever to run in a daily newspaper.
"With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up—and sends up—life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh—and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?"
—From the foreword by Michael Moore
About the Author
AARON MCGRUDER is the creator of The Boondocks. He lives in Los Angeles, California. The Boondocks made its print debut in 1997 in The Diamondback, student newspaper at the University of Maryland, and now appears daily in more than 250 newspapers around the country and online at www.boondocks.net.

Mike Magee has won a lot of awards this offseason and you probably thought he was done when he collected the MLS MVP trophy at the beginning of the month.
You'd be wrong though.
Fire fans mobilized last week, voted and garnered Magic Mike 57% of the vote to make the Fire forward and hometown hero RedEye Chicago's Sports Stud of 2013.
Now it's unlikely that his most recent honor will play any bearing one whether or not U.S. Men's National Team head coach Juergen Klinsmann selects him for January camp in LA and Brazil.
After admitting some surprise at not being called for the team's November friendlies in Europe after his MVP season, Magee did have some interesting things to say about the January camp and somewhat longshot hopes of making the World Cup roster, namely:
"I hope I get called into camp because that's what I'm now training for," Magee said. "I'm training to be in that camp and if I'm not, I'll lie and say I'm getting ready for our preseason." He added: "Of course I want to be on that World Cup roster. In the past, when I wasn't called in, it was a little disappointing because I know what I'm capable of doing and know that I could help the team."
WATCH: #MikeMageeMVP All-Access
Chicago Fire Homegrown prospect Harrison Shipp garnered another collegiate accolade Monday, as TopDrawerSoccer.com named the Notre Dame attacker its 2013 Collegiate Player of the Year.
Just over a week ago, Shipp led the Fighting Irish to its first ever NCAA College Cup, tallying the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Maryland in Chester, Pa.
Shipp's 12 goals and 10 assists for Notre Dame also made him a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy which is set to be awarded on January 10.
Though the club has not yet signed Shipp to a Homegrown deal, earlier this month MLS confirmed he was eligible to be signed directly by the Fire.
At a Season Ticket Holder Town Hall on December 14, the day before the College Cup final, Fire head coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop spoke highly of Shipp, comparing him to a young Mike Magee before insinuating the team would be bringing him in as a Homegrown player by saying, "We'll get him."
As U.S. Soccer wraps up its centennial anniversary celebration in 2013, the Federation on Friday released the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time Best XI.
A voting panel of 57 former players, administrators and media were polled to determine the list which just so happens to feature three former Fire players in Carlos Bocanegra (2000-2003), Brian McBride (2008-2010) and Eric Wynalda (2001).
Wynalda and McBride, who at one point sat first and second respectively on the U.S. Men's National Team's all-time goal scoring list ran away with the two forward spots while Carlos Bocanegra finished third in the vote among defenders behind Marcelo Balboa and Eddie Pope.
The three Fire representatives on the list have appeared in a combined eight FIFA World Cups, amassed 313 caps and tallied 78 goals for the U.S. Men's National Team.
Notable players missing from the list or rather, those that should get Honorable Mentions include goalkeepers Kasey Keller and Tim Howard, defenders Paul Caligiuri and Thomas Dooley, midfielders Michael Bradley and Cobi Jones and forward Earnie Stewart.
See the list below... What do you think?
Working hard or hardly working as you countdown the minutes till Holiday Break?
If you're doing either, set aside seven spare minutes to watch all 58 goals scored by the Fire in 2013...
WATCH: 2013 Chicago Fire Goals
Iconic Mexican legend and former Fire attacker Cuauhtemoc Blanco has announced he'll retire following Lobos BUAP's finish of the Liga de Acenso's Apertura tournament next year.
Rated as perhaps the best Mexican player of all-time, Blanco became the first Designated Player in Chicago Fire history when he signed with the Men in Red in 2007. He'd go on to appear in 77 matches, tallying 19 goals and 28 assists with Chicago through the 2009 season before returning to Mexico with Veracruz.
As part of the club's 15th Anniversary in 2012, Blanco was also named as one of the Top 15 players in Chicago Fire history.
Blanco is Mexico's second all-time leading goal scorer, tallying 39 goals across 119 appearances and represented "El Tri" at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 FIFA World Cups.
Most interestingly, the above article also states that one of his planned send off friendlies next year will be in the United States...
The club announced Wednesday that Fire Original and Ring of Fire member C.J. Brown would be returning to the Men in Red as an assistant coach under Frank Yallop.
As the longest tenured Fire player of all time and the club's appearance record holder, C.J.'s return is a special one for old and young supporters of the club. To celebrate C.J. coming back to the Windy City, we're giving supporters three chances to win autographed C.J. Brown jerseys today via Fire Social Media.

STAY TUNED: We'll announce the winners on Thursday morning!
The Chicago Fire is proud to show its ongoing support for the Greater Chicago Food Depository by participating in the organization's Social Donation Plate campaign. The objective of the campaign is to help raise awareness and collect funds for hunger relief this holiday season.
The campaign features special, customized social donation plates from prominent Chicago figures, institutions and teams. Supporters of the cause will be asked to virtually "sign" their favorite plate and make a modest donation. Once a donation is made, the user experience allows individuals to "pass the plate" to friends via social media.
In support of hunger relief, the Fire has created a social donation plate for fans and supporters to virtually sign and pass along within the community.
"We're happy to continue our partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and assist them in their efforts to raise awareness and funds for hunger relief," said Chicago Fire Senior Director of Community Relations Jessica Yavitz. "I think the social donation plate campaign is a great way for our fans to engage in the cause, as well. We're thrilled to help promote this unique project and collaborate to end hunger in our community."

Newly crowned 2013 Volkswagen MLS MVP Mike Magee spoke briefly with local Chicago media via conference call Thursday. Below is a transcript of the conversation
On initial reaction to receiving the honor…
First and foremost, this still feels a little surreal. The year was great — all but the ending. I'm so thankful to be a part of such an amazing organization as the Chicago Fire and blessed to be home with my family. I'm pumped that people voted for me, and completely humbled by it. Like I said, it's still very surreal.
On envisioning this moment/achievement beforehand…
I never envisioned receiving this award. I absolutely never had my sights set on it. Obviously, the last time I was thinking about getting an award like MVP was probably in U16 club soccer, so it's been a long time. After 16, the first time I thought about it was probably when Taylor Twellman mentioned it during a broadcast of a game earlier this season.
On when winning the award became a realistic idea…
I think towards the end of the year, I thought I had a chance, but I was so focused on trying to get my team to the playoffs. Obviously, when we came up short, I thought I had no chance, and then once Camilo scored a hat trick in his game, I thought luck wasn't on my side. So, this definitely came as a surprise.
On the award helping make a case for a call up to U.S. Men's National Team…
I don't think it hurts it, but as far as helping it, probably not that much. I think Jurgen is a very smart man and obviously a good coach. I don't think he's going around checking stats or seeing what individual awards guys got. At least I hope not. Well, for my sake, I hope he is. [Laughs] But for the sake of our country, I hope he's not.
On being grouped with other Chicago MVPs, such as Michael Jordan and Walter Payton…
When you put it that way, obviously, it's amazing. Not by any means am I calling myself Michael Jordan or Walter Payton, but to be on a short list or any list at all with the likes of guys I grew up loving and pretending to be — to be on any list with them is a list I will certainly keep.
With his announcement as 2013 MLS MVP Thursday, Mike Magee joined an exclusive list of Chicago athletes that have won their league's Most Valuable Player awards.
Magee's name joins the likes of Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Stan Mikita, Ernie Banks and Frank Thomas in the Chicago MVP club.
UPDATE! Magee did a short conference call with local media following this afternoon in Kansas City and I had the nerve to ask him what it felt like to be included in such a club. His answer:
"When you put it that way, obviously, it's amazing. Not by any means am I calling myself Michael Jordan or Walter Payton, but to be on a short list or any list at all with the likes of guys I grew up loving and pretending to be — to be on any list with them is a list I will certainly keep."
Check out all 20 of the city's professional MVPs from the Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, Cubs and White Sox below:
In case you were in a meeting, devoid of a smart phone or just sleeping in under a rock, Fire forward Mike Magee was named MLS MVP Thursday morning.

don't worry you not the only one who got bored :p
Those most overlooked are often the most important. INFRA puts you into the shoes of a simple structural analyst. Nothing more than a quiet desk jockey assigned to survey some routine structural damage. Quickly though, your mission turns from a mundane trek to a fight for survival. INFRA is what we like to call a gun free exploration game. Instead of large explosions and powerful guns, you will rely on your cunning to survive puzzles in an incredibly detailed world. As you travel through the infrastructure of a city you will find that your actions and thorough observations ultimately determine if others will survive.
don't worry you not the only one who got bored :p
Saw these on FP. Great work.

What would you like to know about your Universe — The second poll
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was: "Are the constants of nature really constant?" We will publish the answer in an article and podcast on Plus shortly. Thank you for taking part!
This is our second online poll in our series to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Choose your favourite question from the list on the right, and we'll put the one that proves most popular to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D. Barrow. The poll will remain open for a month and the answer will be published in a Plus article and podcast soon after. If your most burning question is not on this list, then leave a comment on this blog and we'll endeavour to include it in a future poll — there will be five more polls dotted throughout the year.
The most popular question in our first poll was "What happened before the Big Bang?". You can now read the mind-boggling answer here on Plus, and discuss it on our blog.

Maths phobe goes forth to multiply
A date for your TV diary: next Tuesday, the 31st of March 2009, at 9pm, BBC2 will screen the Horizon programme Alan and Marcus go forth and multiply, in which actor and comedian Alan Davies explores his fear of maths with mathematician and author Marcus du Sautoy. Together they will visit the fourth dimension, cross the universe and explore infinity, and along the way Alan does battle with some of the toughest maths questions of our age. Let's hope he's done some swotting with Plus first!

A federal appeals court has ordered the U.S. government to stop immediately stop enforcing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on homosexuals serving in the military. The three-judge panel from San Francisco's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that since Congress has already repealed the policy, a move that came last December, and the Pentagon is actively preparing for an influx of homosexual personnel into the nation's armed forces, there is no longer a reason to continue with the stay the court had earlier placed on a lower court ruling overturning the ban.
The July 6th ruling "came in response to a motion brought by Log Cabin Republicans, a group for gay GOP members, which last year persuaded a lower court judge to declare the ban unconstitutional," reported AP News. The Pentagon appealed U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips' ruling that the ban on homosexuals should be immediately lifted, and the 9th Circuit agreed to keep the ban in place while it considered the implications.

Matisse: Radical Invention 1913–1917
Thursday, September 30, 2010, 12:30 p.m.
Education Classroom B, mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
Art in the Long View at Lunchtime
In conversation with artists and MoMA Lecturers, explore long-term, process-based art and its impact on the experience of art. While many artists establish concrete goals, the processes we are interested in examining may span the lifetime of the artist, require ongoing participation or discussion, and be linked more to research and exploration than to a pre-established plan. Bring your lunch and discover how these challenges to the constraints of time and the expectations of final product and finality force viewers and participants to reconsider the role of art in society. This series serves as an incubator of ideas in advance of our upcoming Contemporary Art Forum on May 2 and 3.
This lecture provides an overview of the exhibition Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917.
Lauren Mahony (BA, New York University; MA candidate, Hunter College, City University of New York) is a curatorial assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art.

Older readers will remember the days when early elementary public school English education consisted of reading Dick and Jane books. Then later, as one entered the upper grades, it consisted of diagramming sentences, doing long reports without using run-on sentences and spending a lot of time figuring out what the different words in a sentence were such as adverbs, adjectives, nouns, conjunctions, etc.
Then in the teen years it became about American literature, mostly written from an Anglo perspective.
That model for English education, or what is today called Language Arts, has changed considerably. Students still read, but it is coming earlier and earlier. Kindergarteners are now writing whole sentences. Learning the terms that describe words in sentences has become an active part of writing itself. And as for the literature, it has gone world-wide.
"In my generation the emphasis was all geared to learning to write to get a college degree," said Jim Thompson, Carbon School District's Language Arts Specialist. "While some things are the same, others are very different. Today students must learn to write differently to compete in the world of business. We are trying to create whole writers."
Thompson says that today's students educations are being geared toward technical writing.
"What the business world wants is someone who can synthesize a lot of material, judge it and then present it clearly," stated Thompson, who teaches at Carbon High three days a week and works as the district specialist two days a week.
Writing today, even at the early grades, is about the relevancy of what is being done. The repetition of doing things in developing language skills is over. Students learn about sentence structure, types of words used and their operations through active writing, not through memorization.
"English basics are taught through the context in which they are used now," said Thompson. "They are not separate or apart from writing."
And when it comes to writing the world is filled with more information than ever. As knowledge increases exponentially, and delivery systems for that knowledge change (such as the advent of using the internet to find information rather than going to a library or other source) educators have decided the way students absorb what they are reading and what they write from that information much be much more discerning.
"The papers we have them writing now are argumentative papers, not persuasive papers as we have in the past," said Thompson. "Language Arts is a brand new baby."
In the past students were used to aggressively convincing a reader to take their side. This was persuasive writing. Argumentative writing puts the student in the place of developing both sides of an issue. In this type of writing students must explore more, find arguments and counter arguments to put in the paper. This kind of writing is about digging out facts and laying them all out. It is largely like a debate on paper, something good journalism schools have taught for years. Lay out the facts and let the readers decide.
"In this kind of writing students must take the responsibility to synthesize the material and figure out what is quality and what is not," stated Thompson.
The challenge teachers face is to convince students of the importance of going through all the information they have on a subject and using a variety of sources to make up their minds rather than set on one viewpoint that they may support or admire.
All this is set up to help students to think critically, whether they be five or 18. Over the years many in business and government have said that if students lack skills in one large area it is in the area of critical thinking.
"It is important for students to learn to draw conclusions on what is not said," stated Thompson. "This is no longer regurgetation of facts but knowing why something is the way it is. They are learning to not assume things, but to use facts to come to a conclusion."
Thompson compares looking at all the material available like cooking pasta. When cooking the pasta there is the pasta, water and other ingredients in the cooking process. But once the pasta is placed in a colander, the pasta is what's left. That would be the actual facts that would be used in writing.
When it comes to literature that students study, the change has also come in different points of view from around the world, not just from America.
"We are working to expose students to literature and poetry that are global in nature," said Thompson. "We have students reading literature from Africa, Asia and South America."
All these changes in how Language Arts is taught has been a challenge for everyone involved including the teachers. Thompson said that the concept that has been implemented of Professional Learning Groups (PLG) has helped in this respect a great deal.
"When I was a young teacher it was sink or swim," he said. "There was little help from other teachers or the master teachers in a school. Now with those groups having time to get together, the young teachers can learn from those with more experience."
PLG's are a concept that have been implemented by many school districts, utilizing aides to cover time in schools so teachers can learn from one another. It is a separate thing from the traditional planning time the teachers still have.
These concepts concerning Language Arts ties in with what other educators have been saying in this series of stories in the Sun Advocate about education changes in Carbon County. This is all is part of the Utah Core, and part of what is to be learned and what students will be tested on to measure their development and then to baseline their learning so more growth can be measured.
"Actually we still don't know what will be on the core test in Language Arts because this is all so new," said Thompson. "But we do know what needs to be taught."

compilation of student work from Eye,Robot at SCI-Arc Fall 2012.
"Eye, Robot" focuses on the intersection of computation, robotic fabrication, and cinematography. The course explores robotic motion control as a creative medium for designers, mainly through the use of the custom robotic animation software platform, designed specifically for the SCI-Arc Robot House. The platform has the unique ability for the designer not only to design motion, but also to program, simulate, and speculate all at the same time. This type of animation space suspends the distinction between simulation, speculation, and 'the real', making it very hard for one to determine which is which while questioning traditional notions of architectural representation.[click for gallery]

Thanks man..!!
It's fairly simple, install the window manager you want to use, and alter your .startx file to accomodate the changing of your window manager
There are alot of different managers, I dont know an exact list, I would considder this list to be partial but when reading about the X-window system several others are mentioned, if you want a list with descriptions that too is available.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

Thanks man..!!
Just stumbled on this guide to a few of the more widely used ones.
Just for the record, I'm using fvwm and has been since '98, but since theres no official GUI configuration tool for it, it takes some getting used to on the configuration of menus/desktops etc.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

Redhead are u preparing for any certifications?(RHCE etc.)need some help here..
I have my Ph. D. in Comp. sci. with an additional master in Math, I have never taken any further certification and never found it needed, one major learning point for me have been trying to develop and maintain a Linux distribution, it was based on the RPM structure, but once I found the ease of aptitude I ended the development.
And my main reason for going that route subsided, which left me with alot of work for what I didn't seem to gain any advantage from.
I was introduced to maintaining serverfarms in late '97, when the university dorm were expanding their internet availability, and thus I just took over since there weren't anyone around with the commitment to keep it at a high level.
Everything I know and have learned, has been through projects and workrelated incidents that wasn't bound to any certifications at all.
Today my daily work area is as a type of project management and coordinating larger groups of programmers.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

I am here to understand the power of Linux. I would like to learn new things with the help of LHN. I would appreciate if I get good feed back for my questions here.
Thank You
Hi Guys,
A big Hello from my side.
Firstly Hi All, from far too sunny South Africa! It's dark and going on for 8 o'clock and it's still 32 degrees out. Been this way for weeks, now. So let's jump right in. I like ubuntu, i really do. I support mark shuttleworth and the whole gang of folks all around the world that have made it what it is. I love that they've managed to get government departments to use it... and schools. But you've gotta ask yourself why is the OS getting so bloated? XP runs on 256megs of RAM... ubuntu barely does, and monstrously slowly... What's up with that? We're supposed to be creating an organism that's simple to use, small enough for most third world PC's (512megs RAM is about average here), fast and efficient. Somewhere down the line, someone dropped the ball. Ubuntu 10.10 requires (recommended, agreed) 1 gig RAM!?! This doesn't sound like the OS that's going to get into every school in the country before too long, does it?
Don't get me wrong, really, I love this whole concept. I think it's great that kids (or adults, for that matter) get to a deeper understanding of computing by using an OS that's not spoonfeeding them all the time... I just wish that there was a simple GUI-type way to customise your install and strip out anything you don't really need... After all, you can install anything you might need later. I could go on all night, but I've got to go for a dip in the pool, so if you've made it this far, a big Howzit from a Sefrican who's having fun learning how to strip OS's right down to the bare bones... PS, I'm not a programmer, and as such don't have much skill in that dept. In fact, that's why I'm here. To pick brains. Mines available if you're barrel scraping, but, hey...
welcome all!

If you haven't heard, we got him! Thanks to a couple dozen of our well-trained Navy Seals and two strategically placed bullets, Osama bin Laden has gone the way of the Dodo—yippee! I have to admit that I have been caught-up in the popular national response to the news. I can't seem to help it. It feels right.
While feeding my obsession with every news article about the story, I came across one that struck me. Apparently, Osama bin Laden had a family and they want proof of his death. Reading this I realized something profound: Osama bin Laden was human. Does that seem weird to anyone else? Just say it ("bin Laden was a human being"). Strange, right? I think I know why. We have a case of dehumanization, but not in the most common sense.
Haslam and friends (2007) presented a powerful article outlining the ways in which we dehumanize outgroups and their members. Specifically, the authors state that we dehumanize by attributing either animal-like or machine-like characteristics to those individuals or groups. While I agree with the basic argument, I don't think that these two types of dehumanizing accurately explain just how "we" feel about Osama bin Laden and others like him. I think we attribute more demon-like qualities to them.
If you think about it, even the families of condemned criminals can be present at their family member's execution. They are given the right of closure. We, however, have not given bin Laden's family the same right. The only reason why, that I can think of, is that we have forgotten that his acts, as evil and grotesque as they were, were committed by a human. As much as we would like to think that his were the acts of a family-less, evil creature, they were not. He was simply a man—a terrorist—a criminal—who messed with the wrong country. Perhaps we should set aside the demonizing and throw his family a bone.

Thursday morning's early rain fall helped first responders and rescue crews contain fires following a deadly explosion at a chemical and fertilizer plant in the Central Texas city of West.
The city of 2,800 is located approximately 20 miles north of Waco.
Volunteer firefighters responded to a fire at the plant at 7:29 p.m. Wednesday night. Crews were working to contain the blaze when an explosion followed 20 minutes later. Most of the fires were contained just before midnight, but Police Chief W. Patrick Swanton said those flames were still smoldering Thursday.
Authorities say more than 160 people are injured and five to 15 people were killed in the explosion. Swanton said three to four firefighters – believed to be first responders -- are still unaccounted for, but an officer reported missing has been located. He is hospitalized and recovering from serious injuries.
Authorities say 50- 75 homes have been destroyed as well as a 50-unit apartment complex. Some residents, including a nearby nursing home, have been evacuated. Swanton said he is not sure when they will be allowed to return.
Rescue crews are still going door – to –door searching for people trapped in the wreckage.

Jays WBB Downs Drake 98-71, Ties Highest Total Under Flanery
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Bluejays
women's basketball team downed Drake, 98-71 on Saturday, Feb. 2, equaling the most points scored under head coach Jim Flanery.
The win moved Creighton to 16-4 on the season and 8-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake, meanwhile, fell to 6-13 overall and 2-7 in the MVC.
The Bulldogs set the pace in the opening moments of the contest as Drake jumped out to a 7-1 lead by the 18:14 mark.
Creighton responded with five straight on a short jumper from junior Alyssa Kamphaus and a three-pointer by junior McKenzie Fujan to close within a point at 7-6.
Down 13-8 moments later, the Bluejays finally gained control of the game with a 14-2 run over the next four minutes. Junior Sarah Nelson got the Jays going with a turnaround jumper from the right block. Following a missed layup by the Bulldogs, senior Ally Jensen drained a trifecta from the left wing to tie the game at 13-13 before the opening media timeout.
Layups by junior Jordan Garrison, sophomore Alexis Akin-Otiko and Nelson sandwiched a Drake bucket to give the Jays a 19-15 edge with 13:56 showing. The ensuing Creighton possession saw freshman Marissa Janning convert a traditional three-point play, pushing the Bluejay lead to 22-15.
Over the final 13 minutes of the opening period the Jays sank five more triples as Creighton took a 56-42 lead into the break. The 56-point outburst was the most points scored by the Jays in a half since putting up 59 points at Siena on March 22, 2003.
The Jays opened the second period with a 7-0 run to extend their lead to 63-44 with 17:42 remaining, but Drake had one more haymaker in reserve.
The Bulldogs delivered their last blow over the next three minutes, scoring 15 of the next 20 to get back within single digits at 68-59. Unphased, the Jays pounded the ball inside to Nelson for a short jumper. Up 70-59, Janning put the game out of reach with three treys in 62 seconds (12:18 to 11:16) to vault Creighton to its largest margin at 79-59.
The Jays went to claim the game 98-71, holding the ball for a 24 second clock violation in the closing minute. Returning the show of sportsmanship, Drake held the ball for the final ten seconds.
Janning led all scorers with 22 points, while Nelson finished with 20. Fujan and Akin-Otiko also reached double-figures for Creighton with 19 and 13 respectively.
Drake's Morgan Reid led the Bulldogs with 16 points, while Kyndal Clark chipped in 13.
It was just the tenth time that a Flanery led team scored 90 points or more, equaling the 98 points scored by his team on Jan. 18, 2003 in a 98-75 win over Evansville.
The Bluejays return to the court on Friday, Feb. 8 as the Jays face Indiana State at 6:05 p.m. in Terre Haute, Ind.

Friday, May 04, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Senior Night didn't start the way head coach Kristin Ryman wanted it to, but it ended with a return to the postseason.
The Lady Bisons clinched a spot in next week's Atlantic Sun Tournament thanks to a 2-1 victory in the second game of the Friday night doubleheader. Lipscomb (32-18, 9-7 in the A-Sun) dropped the opener to USC Upstate (37-11, 10-6 A-Sun) 9-1 in six innings.
Early on it looked as though USC Upstate had the Lady Bisons number. The Spartans put up two runs in the first inning in game one, with doubles from Shellie Robinson and Cheyenne Griffin scoring the first run and Katelyn Molkenthin scoring on a double steal attempt.
The Spartans struck again in the third on a two-run single by Maddison Kieffer and then blew the game open in the fifth on a three-run home run by Robinson to right-center.
Upstate put Lipscomb in the position to be run-ruled in the sixth when Kieffer singled in Griffin and Hayley Reinfeld scored on a Lindsay Kelly sacrifice fly.
Senior Caroline Mason hit a run-scoring single in the sixth but that would be all the Lady Bisons could muster in the loss.
Junior Kelsey Cartwright went 2-for-2 for Lipscomb in the opener.
Kiihnl was touched up for 10 hits and nine runs (five earned) to fall to 21-12 on the season. Upstate's Hannah Alexander got the win, scattering five hits and striking out four.
"Whit didn't have her best stuff in the first game," Ryman said. "It was a frustrating day for her, but credit to their hitters for swinging the bats well."
Game Two: Lipscomb 2, USC Upstate 1
Upstate jumped out to an early lead in the second game. Second-inning singles by Reinfeld and Kieffer got the inning started; after they advanced to scoring position, Reinfeld scored on a Kendall Settlemyre fielder's choice that freshman Ashley Anderson elected to come home with instead of throwing to first. Reinfeld slid in under the tag for the first run.
That would be the only blemish on Anderson's evening. She scattered seven hits in the complete game, striking out two on the way to her season's 11th victory.
She earned the victory thanks to the Lady Bisons offensive output in the fifth inning. After junior Bree Thurman reached on a fielder's choice, she stole second and came around to score on a single to centerfield by sophomore Bridgette Begle, who advanced to second after the throw to the plate hit Kieffer, the shortstop, in the arm and bounced away.
Begle then scored on a similar single by Kiihnl, who led the Lady Bisons with a 2-for-3 performance in the second game.
"We made some adjustments at the plate in the second game," Ryman said. "It finally clicked in the fifth and we strung together some hits and got some runs across."
With the victory, Lipscomb is guaranteed a spot in next week's conference tournament in Spartanburg, S.C. Lipscomb has now qualified for the tournament six years in a row, dating back to the 2007 season.
With two games tomorrow against ETSU, Lipscomb can lock up the fourth seed with a sweep of the Bucs, and could move into third if Upstate were to be swept by Belmont.
Lipscomb takes on the Bucs beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday evening at Draper Diamond.

STOWE–Finally, after years of being on the losing end of things, the North Country girl's hockey team picked up a win against Stowe, defeating the Raiders 2-0.
The score could have been much higher, but Stowe's netminder Danielle Mayo was a rock in the nets, stopping sixteen shots in just the first period alone.
"We had a good first period, but Mayo is a tough goalie to beat," said coach Claude Paul.
Mayo stood tall until the third period, when the Falcons were finally able to get a pair past her.
First it was Whitney Bernier, taking a chip pass from Anyas Morin and going top-shelf on Mayo.
Then Taylor Morley got a pass from Emily Doty and went in all alone on Mayo, scoring on the break-away.
Mikaella Doran stopped six shots, including a third period penalty-shot for the now 5-2 Falcons.
Mayo had thirty-five saves for 3-4 Stowe.
Next up is a Wednesday match with Rice starting at 6:00 at home.
The game will be broadcasted on NSN, so check out their website nsnsports.net for more details.
JERICHO–After jumping out to a 12-5 first quarter lead, the North Country girl's basketball team kept right on going, defeating Mount Mansfield 47-18 Thursday evening.
"It is always nice to have ten out of twelve players contribute in the score book," said coach Christian Brown. "We got to work on a lot of concepts, especially focusing on our defense, which fuels our offense, and rotating players into help."
Anna Bingham had 12 points and 9 steals in limited action. Ashley Robishaw-Morin has six points as did Nicole Therrien.
Morgan Greene and Britni Jewer had six boards a piece, and Hollie Smith added three assists in the win.
The win has the Falcons sitting at 4-0 while MMU continues to stay winless at 0-6.
North Country will start to face some stiffer competition as they welcome in a member of last year's final four, Colchester, into the NCU gym this evening at 6:30.
UCA 57, Websterville 38
BARRE–Chris DeLaBruere had twenty-five points and fifteen rebounds, and Paul Saaman added seventeen as the shorthanded UCA Crusaders bested Websterville 57-38 on Saturday.
"We rebounded really well and hit from outside," said coach Tony DeLaBruere. "When we make those outside shots, it makes it that much easier on us, and defensively we were able to play man D and work on some stuff that needed attention."
The Crusaders were without Dale Martell, who looks to be done for the remainder of the season with a wrist injury.
"We are really going to have to play smart if we are going to continue with just six guys out there," said DeLaBruere.
However, help may be on the way, as Ji Hoon will start practicing with the squad today and could see game action soon.
Ji Kim also had a nice game for UCA, contributing five points along with some shut down D.
Now 5-1, the team will square off against Masse Vanier on Wednesday afternoon in the municipal building in Newport.
Tip-off is at 4:30.
UCA 29, Websterville 28
BARRE–With starting center Laura Libby unavailable to play, the UCA girls rallied together to earn their second win of the season, defeating Websterville 29-28 on Saturday.
"These are the types of games I want us to be in, and it showed us all what kind of team we can be," said coach Molly Smith. "Defense won us this game and it shows that we can comeback and win a close battle. I am very proud of my team."
Christina Maxwell had the game winning foul shot and Moriah Lafoe led the team with eight points.
Amy DeLaBruere stepped into the center role and excelled in that position for the Crusaders, rebounding well and being an all-around force down low.
With win number two now under their belt, they will go for their third on Wednesday when they host Masse Vanier at the municipal building in Newport at 3:00.
MORRISVILLE–The Lake Region girls defeated Peoples Academy 39-36 on Saturday to move to 5-0 on the season, while Peoples goes to 1-5.
The biggest difference in the match was the Wolves inability to convert from the line, going 10-29 in the contest.
Lake Region will have some time off before hosting Lamoille on the 15th at 7:00.
For the boys, after defeating Missisquoi 75-65 on Thursday, they continued their success, besting Lyndon Institute on Saturday 42-35 to move to 7-0 on the season.
The boys will get back to work tonight when they host Winooski at 7:00.

Such a shame to see a great game die due to lags... >.<
Hey everyone,
We're always working on the latency issue, but we're far from dying or dead. We have a lot of cool stuff planned in the next few months, from events to other things we're confident the community will enjoy.
We just updated the game with new content, as well as events and have much more planned.
Trust us, if you haven't tried it, or are having trouble, check out our forums or ask a GM or player in-game.
GamepotUSA, Official Rep.
Things I can't do: Make you uber.
Things I can do: Info, issues, updates and jokes.
Good times.
Just wasn't good enough for me to stick around.
I also quit due to latency issue, especially the ping spiking. I'm guessing they just need a better server but just can't afford it at the moment.
The game's fun, it's interesting and the idea is fresh, sure. But the way latency works is a huge turn off for me. Alright, so we have people that got used to it, nice, good for you. There are some of us that don't feel like tracking our shots and stuff like that. It's just how hit detection works in this game that pisses me off, it's pretty easy to abuse the system.
I thought this game was still in development!
Maybe that could be one of the reasons, it's dying.
It was fun while it lasted, heh was fun. Don't know about now but I've been playing around during March up to around early May and then I stopped. You could say the game was fun, but I think by now it's nothing like it used to be. Like I said it was fun while it lasted pretty sure I enjoyed everything there was to enjoy. If Tales still plays it well the game still is going somewhere with Requiem.... I think, it really was enjoyable all those competitions and rages. If only there was really someone who played it with me. Corps just can't help you with that.
Yeah, I have been TRYING to play this game, but whooooo boy, its ok to look at, but its so annoying. And it was created by two of the rpg giants of this industry. They need to scrap the whole crappy opening quest sequences and just turn gamers loose to raise hell or whatever. It does not help to have a Zero as part of your name....


text: Fire, HAZMAT and law enforcement personnel discuss the situation generated by a tractor rig's loss of a trailer by Walkers near the junction of U.S. 6 and Soldier Creek Road on March 13. The incident reportedly started slightly before noon on Wednesday when a 40-foot trailer filled with ammonia nitrate reportedly disconnected and came down across the highway as the semi attempted to exit the truck stop. After arriving at the traffic accident scene, the authorities determined that the material could be explosive and, within an hour, officials had evacuated Walkers and surrounding homes until crews could move the trailer. U.S. Highway 6 was reopened at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Monday.

A town of Watertown woman was referred to Jefferson County Drug Court after admitting Thursday in County Court that she was intoxicated in November when she crashed her vehicle with three children as passengers.
Kjerstin L. Krohn, 37, of 17951 North VanAllen Road, pleaded guilty to felony aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child as a passenger. She admitted she was intoxicated Nov. 1 when her vehicle struck a utility pole on County Route 67 in the town of Watertown.
Police said at the time that Mrs. Krohn and an 11-year-old girl were taken to Samaritan Medical Center for treatment of unspecified injuries, while two other children, a 7-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, were not injured.
Following her admission, she was referred to Drug Court, a substance abuse rehabilitation program that serves as an alternative to incarceration.
District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert said that if Mrs. Krohn successfully completes the program, her felony DWI conviction will be vacated and she will be allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor DWI count.
She then would be sentenced to three years probation and a $1,000 fine, have her drivers license revoked and be ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle she owns or operates.
If she is unsuccessful, Mrs. Intschert said, the felony conviction will stand and she will be sentenced to one to three years in state prison. She further would be fined $3,500, have her drivers license revoked and be subject to the interlock provision.

UBS to sell CEFS International business to Montagu Private Equity
UBS today announced that it has signed an agreement with Montagu Private Equity to sell its Corporate Employee Financial Services (CEFS) International business. The terms of the deal will not be disclosed. The sale is expected to close in 2014 and does not impact UBS's US-based Equity Plan Advisory Services (EPAS) business.
Zurich/Basel, 19 December 2013 – CEFS International, part of UBS Wealth Management, provides administrative services for employee equity plans to around 100 corporate clients in Europe and Asia. The agreement represents another step in UBS's effort to reduce the complexity of its operations.
CEFS International will be legally separated from UBS and transferred into its own legal entity. The transfer and sale is expected to be completed in 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. UBS expects the vast majority of current CEFS International employees to transfer to the buyer.
UBS's US-based Equity Plan Advisory Services (EPAS) business, remains an integral part of UBS Wealth Management Americas' strategy and is unaffected by this transaction. EPAS provides equity compensation services to US-domiciled, multinational corporate clients and will continue to actively support and pursue current and prospective clients.
