Bristol Rugby Academy have received a Kia Sportage as part of a new sponsorship deal with Wessex Garages.
Our Purpose
"To develop self reliant decision makers, to be independent thinkers and good people both on and off the field. Tailoring our approach to take account of individual needs whilst fostering a culture of enjoyment and self improvement. Through the DPP and PDG to help maximise the potential of rugby players in Bristol at whatever level they may play."
The Bristol England Rugby Academy is one of the leading elite rugby academies in the UK. The RFU academy programme was initiated in 2001 with 14 licenses being granted nationwide. The Bristol Academy services players from in and around the City of Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas.
The objective of the Academy is to enhance the rugby performance of identified elite rugby players and help them in their personal, educational and social development.
Components of performance such as strength & conditioning, sports medicine, psychology and nutrition form an integral part of the holistic support programme. The Academy players are supported by specialists in each field and are given individually tailored development plans to help map out and monitor their professional development.
Academy Pathway:
The Bristol Rugby Academy has a comprehensive talent identification and development pathway for players from ages of 13 to 24 years old.
Highly talented players can enter the pathway at any point, although it is intended for players to enter the program as early as possible.
The pathway starts with the U13 Developing Players Programme (DPP). The aim of the DPP is to provide a high quality player development experience, encouraging lifelong participation in the game and enabling those with talent to be clearly identified .
Club coaches & school teachers are asked to recommend those players they feel have the potential to develop their rugby further to the programme at U13's. Numbers are large at U13s & U14s (100+), narrowing down to less numbers at U15s (approx 35).
Players who make good progress in the U13s & U14s DPP, and show the required attributes in attitude, are invited to attend the Elite Player Development Group at U15s. The Player Development Group (PDG) is aimed at those players identified as having future professional player potential.
The PDG Silver Group (U15s & U16s) and PDG Gold Group (U17s & U18s) train twice weekly at the clubs training centre, undertaking a mixture of technical, tactical, physical, psychological and lifestyle development activities.
Post 18, players who show the potential to become a full time professional are invited to join the Full Time Bristol England Academy. These players train on a daily basis and are integrated into the First Team Squad at Bristol Rugby.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In order to better serve seniors and their caregivers in Northern Florida, the Gainesville office of the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida has accepted a $4,000 grant from the United Way Endowment Fund to kick off their 'Seniors & Seizures' initiative in Marion County.
"Senior citizens are the most rapidly growing population group with epilepsy, and the most misdiagnosed," said Susan Eddins, the EFOF Statewide Prevention & Education Coordinator in charge of the new initiative. "So we're very proud to be able to offer this important program with help from the United Way to serve our seniors here in Marion County."
The Seniors & Seizures program will offer 20 one-hour trainings beginning in February, targeting medical professionals, other caregivers and seniors. The sessions will be conducted by specially trained EFOF personnel.
Availability is limited, so medical and social service agencies, nursing homes, independent and assisted living facilities, and other support organizations wishing to schedule a training session at their own facilities should contact Ms. Eddins at 352-378-4324 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The trainings will touch on a variety of topics such as seizure recognition, first aid, treatment and diagnosis/misdiagnosis. Epilepsy in seniors often is misdiagnosed as one of many other mental or physical conditions associated with aging.
To better serve a broader section of the community, trainings will be held in both English and Spanish, with a special goal of reaching caregivers and seniors in rural and other areas lacking medical and other support services.
Epilepsy Foundation of Florida Offers 'Seniors & Seizures' Services - 2
While the main focus is on providing medical personnel and staff with information about epilepsy and seizures, seizure first-aid, treatment and medications, the Foundation will also offer direct services to seniors such as case management and support groups.
"Of course, we have a large population of senior citizens in Marion County and across Florida, so this is an important issue," said Karen Basha Egozi, chief executive officer of EFOF. "We're very appreciative of the United Way in helping our efforts to serve this large and important group of residents and the folks who care for them."
EFOF is a member of Marion Senior Alliance, and has working relationships with Marion County Senior Services and the Marion County Health Department. For more information on the Gainesville office of EFOF, call 352-378-4324 or visit www.epilepsyfla.org.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Florida (EFOF) was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) and serves as the lead advocate for rights and needs of people with epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The family of epilepsy disorders is the third-most prevalent neurological condition in the United States, striking approximately 3 million people nationally and 360,000 people in Florida. About 42,000 people die each year in the U.S. due to seizures from epilepsy and related causes. The EFOF -- with offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville and Gainesville -- provides numerous services to individuals and families, such as advocacy and counseling, education and prevention, direct medical and neuropsychological services, as well as research and other programs regardless of financial situation or socioeconomic status. For more information, visit www.epilepsyfla.org or call 305-670-4949.

According to Chinese medicine, the "Five Healing Colors" can purify and heal all the pathways in the body, and the colors are traditionally used to harmonize the organs. When you visualize these universal energetic color forces, the organs become purified.
Even if you don't have organs in stress, this is a wonderfully cleansing and preventative exercise for your whole body:
Use this guided meditation using any one of the organs using the appropriate color:
1. Sit calmly but alertly.
2. Pay attention to the calm place behind your mid-brow.
3. Think of something you love, and relax.
4. Bring your attention to the organ in need of attention.
5. Picture the organ, feeling the love you experienced in #3.
6. Picture the organ as a rose that is the color required, and imagine the rose slowly opening.
Repeat until the color radiates through and from the organ.
7. Breath out the colored light
Blue: The healing color of the kidneys.
Red: The healing color of the heart.
Green: The healing color of the liver.
White: The healing color of the lungs.
Yellow: The healing color of the spleen.

Canon Pixma MG5620 ( Black)
While the Canon Pixma MG5620 is a capable machine with an easy set-up process and an attractive set of features, its high cost of consumables cuts into the overall value.

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I am all for things that keep Princess P clean while eating. It is a messy job but something has to be up to the challenge. Maybe something that is PVC, Phthalate and BPA free. Something that has an easy velcro neck closure and comfortable yet durable fabric. Well, I think I have found just the thing. Meet SuperBib from Bumkins!
The SuperBib is all of that and more. It is waterproof and has a catch all pocket for the food that slips out of little one's fingers. And it is resistant to most stains and odors. The SuperBib can fit ages 6 months to 2+ years. And it is machine washable!
Princess P and I were lucky enough to try out the SuperBib in the Floral Flutter print. The first thing I noticed and fell in love with was its size. It Measures 10″ across and 9″ from neck down. Perfect for all of the food that escapes P's mouth. The catch all pocket is also very handy for the same reason. The adjustable velcro neck closer is a great feature too. It is small enough to fit her now but can be adjusted as she grows. When it does get messy the SuperBib wipes clean with a damp cloth or can be thrown into the washing machine. And another thing I really love is the print! It is very different from all the other bibs I see. I recommend this bib to any parent who has a little one that can make big messes!
I have one SuperBib in the Pet Parade print to give to one lucky winner!!
To Enter: You must visit Bumkins and tell me another product you would love to try. Or what SuperBib print you love the most (other than Floral Flutter or Pet Parade).
Please leave a email address. I have to have a way to contact the winner.
Extra Entries:
1. Grab my button. Leave an address where it can be found.
2. Subscribe to my feed. (Must be verified to count!!)

42 U.S. Code § 13106 - Source reduction and recycling data collection
(a) Reporting requirements
Each owner or operator of a facility required to file an annual toxic chemical release form under section 11023 of this title for any toxic chemical shall include with each such annual filing a toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report for the preceeding [1] calendar year. The toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report shall cover each toxic chemical required to be reported in the annual toxic chemical release form filed by the owner or operator under section 11023 (c) of this title. This section shall take effect with the annual report filed under section 11023 of this title for the first full calendar year beginning after November 5, 1990.
(b) Items included in report
The toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report required under subsection (a) of this section shall set forth each of the following on a facility-by-facility basis for each toxic chemical:
(1) The quantity of the chemical entering any waste stream (or otherwise released into the environment) prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal during the calendar year for which the report is filed and the percentage change from the previous year. The quantity reported shall not include any amount reported under paragraph (7). When actual measurements of the quantity of a toxic chemical entering the waste streams are not readily available, reasonable estimates should be made based on best engineering judgment.
(2) The amount of the chemical from the facility which is recycled (at the facility or elsewhere) during such calendar year, the percentage change from the previous year, and the process of recycling used.
(3) The source reduction practices used with respect to that chemical during such year at the facility. Such practices shall be reported in accordance with the following categories unless the Administrator finds other categories to be more appropriate.
(4) The amount expected to be reported under paragraph [2] (1) and (2) for the two calendar years immediately following the calendar year for which the report is filed. Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage change from the amount reported in paragraphs (1) and (2).
(5) A ratio of production in the reporting year to production in the previous year. The ratio should be calculated to most closely reflect all activities involving the toxic chemical. In specific industrial classifications subject to this section, where a feedstock or some variable other than production is the primary influence on waste characteristics or volumes, the report may provide an index based on that primary variable for each toxic chemical. The Administrator is encouraged to develop production indexes to accommodate individual industries for use on a voluntary basis.
(6) The techniques which were used to identify source reduction opportunities. Techniques listed should include, but are not limited to, employee recommendations, external and internal audits, participative team management, and material balance audits. Each type of source reduction listed under paragraph (3) should be associated with the techniques or multiples of techniques used to identify the source reduction technique.
(7) The amount of any toxic chemical released into the environment which resulted from a catastrophic event, remedial action, or other one-time event, and is not associated with production processes during the reporting year.
(8) The amount of the chemical from the facility which is treated (at the facility or elsewhere) during such calendar year and the percentage change from the previous year. For the first year of reporting under this subsection, comparison with the previous year is required only to the extent such information is available.
(c) SARA provisions
The provisions of sections 11042, 11045 (c), and 11046 of this title shall apply to the reporting requirements of this section in the same manner as to the reports required under section 11023 of this title. The Administrator may modify the form required for purposes of reporting information under section 11023 of this title to the extent he deems necessary to include the additional information required under this section.
(d) Additional optional information
Any person filing a report under this section for any year may include with the report additional information regarding source reduction, recycling, and other pollution control techniques in earlier years.
(e) Availability of data
[1] So in original. Probably should be "preceding".
[2] So in original. Probably should be "paragraphs".

text: Carbon High football took a 67-19 loss to Lehi on Friday at home. However, Friday's game was likely the last time the two teams will meet as Region 8 foes unless Carbon can turn the football season around in its final four games and meet Lehi in the playoffs. Lehi will be reclassified as a 4A school as of the 2005-2006 school year, making room in Region 8 for fresh teams. Current 3A team Granite High and soon to be 3A school Juan Diego will be the newest additions to Region 8, narrowing the gap in student enrollment between the region teams. Meanwhile, according to head coach Lane Herrick, the Carbon High football team will continue to overcome losses as the young players gain experience and confidence on the field. Injuries have plagued the squad this season and the Dinos have already rotated through seven different quarterbacks. Carbon will face the Emery Spartans on Oct. 1, followed by the Homecoming football game against Ogden on Oct. 8. Herrick projects that the team has already seen its toughest matchups and should have a strong showing against both Emery and Ogden.

Nothing says summer like a creamy, dripping ice cream cone. Maine has no shortage of seasonal scoop shops, but one in Thomaston has been the bread and butter for a local family spanning three generations - and counting. As part of our Summertime Eats series, Patty Wight recently visited Dorman's Dairy Dream.
The view of Dorman's Dairy Dream from Janice Cross's house.
Even on a rainy summer afternoon, the stream of customers at Dorman's is steady. "May I have a sugar cone with coffee ice cream?" says one.
Janice Cross observes the scene from a cozy chair in her family room, where a window gives a direct view to the ice cream shop that's in her front yard on busy Route 1 in Thomaston.
"My father - Kendrick Dorman - had been looking around and saw that there were ice cream places and they were doing pretty good," Cross says. "And he figured that he would try it, and he expected to be open for a year - that's all he figured it would last. And here we are going on our 63rd season now."
Her dad built the house behind Dorman's Dairy Dream a few years after he opened the shop. But while most kids dream of having an ice cream shop in their front yard, that's not how Cross saw it when she started working there at age 13.
"I didn't like the hours, because we had to work long, long hours, and it wasn't anything that was special," she says. "But it is now."
Cross worked at the ice cream shop on and off into adulthood, and eventually took it over in 1987. She was going through a divorce at the time, and it helped her to support her kids.
Julie Sanborn: "Hi, I'm Julie Sanborn. I've been working here at Dormans since I was 12. I worked for my grandfather and I worked for my mom."
Like her mom, she never planned to take over the business - until she and her husband Darryl were faced with two realities: Her mom was ready to retire, and the Sanborn's 22-year-old son, Darryl Jr., has dreamed of running the business ever since he was little.
Left to right, Darryl Sanborn, Jr., Julie Sanborn, and Darryl Sanborn Sr.
"He's too young right now to take over, so Darryl and I talked about it and we said, 'Well, why don't we offer? And if she wants us to take over to pave the way for our young man, we can do that," Sanborn says.
Now, Sanborn and her husband run the ice cream shop. Darryl Jr., makes all the the ice cream, a skill he learned from his grandmother.
"My first few years I was here I was always the helper with her. So I always watched what she did," he says. "And when she was having her knee replacement, she asked me - she's like, 'OK, so now I'm going to teach you how to do all your ice creams.' I was like, 'Oh I know them all.' She was like, 'No you can't.' I listed off the recipe for every single one, and she was very surprised. Ever since then, I have it all in here."
Darryl taps his finger to his head. As far as long-time customer Jerry Stone (right) is concerned, he's doing a stellar job. "I'm 65 soon. I've been coming here since I was about three years old," he says, "coming from Cushing, Maine, down the road here with my own family."
And his long-standing favorite, ever since he was a kid, is pistachio. Stone says what makes Dorman's Dairy Dream great is not just the ice cream, but the history and family. Darryl Sanborn Sr. says family was a major part of the appeal when he and his wife decided to take over the business.
"Even if you're working, they can be here," he says. "When you take a break, you can have family around you. And even if you're working long hours, you still have family around you."
For Janice Cross, whose dad started it all, she says Dorman's Dairy Dream has turned out better than she ever imagined.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ mounted on Panasonic Lumix DMC GH2 : Tests and Reviews
Measurements and specifications
Further readings for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
The depth of high quality primes and zooms for the PEN is, arguably, the most compelling reason to invest in the Micro Four Thirds system over rival mirrorless camera offerings. If you're already a PEN E-P5 owner or you're looking for advice or insights in lens performance in advance, this guide will aid you in making the right choice. Read onto find out which lens models in the range perform best optically.
Panasonic Lumix G VARIO 14-42 f3.5-5.6 II Asph. Mega OIS review - The Cheapest 'Standard Zoom' for Micro 4:3 and Surprisingly Good
The Micro 4:3 market is full of technology, each new generation apparently having some new enhancement, with a new, more superlative name. Panasonic is no different, but this new Lumix G VARIO 14-42 f3.5-5.6 II Asph. Mega OIS carries neither the 'Power Zoom', or the 'Power O.I.S'; there are aspheric elements but no ED glass. Without all the latest refinements is it worth having at all? Yes, it is: well priced and punches above its weight.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ is the kit zoom launched by Olympus for the OM-D E-M5. We can't test the lens on an E-M5 for the moment, since as of this writing the camera is not yet commercially available. But while we wait, let's take a look at how this lens performs on other micro 4/3 cameras.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
The mission statement at the Golden Rule Mission in Helper is simple, through the year the mission provides meals and a soft, warm place to sleep for hundreds of men, women and families, according to mission board member Bob Tanner.
Performing this service for all Carbon County residents is something that all on the mission board consider a necessity and something that is supported both by the city's council and its law enforcement agencies. However, running a non-profit mission can be an expensive endeavor and even though the Golden Rule receives some subsidy grant money it is the charity of local Castle Valley residents that keep the mission open.
Beginning Nov. 23 the annual bell ringing campaign will begin, according to Tanner.
"Our volunteers will be ringing in front of several local businesses in the local area, they are there every year and this season will be no different," said Tanner. "Your generous donations will help us provide medical care, vision and dental assistance to those who could not otherwise get it. We also do all we can to provide a workable homeless prevention program."
In a recent interview with the missions director Barbara Dougherty said that funding for the facility is largely supplied by and an annual grant and proceeds from the thrift store, which operates next door to the shelter.
It was important to Dougherty to stress the fact that the facility is not a flop house but somewhere an individual can receive assistance putting their life back together.
"The mission has strict rules for its residents," said Dougherty "No alcohol or tobacco is allowed in the mission and the doors are locked at 10 p.m. We provide residence with self-sufficiency goals and assign some longer-term residents a caseworker that can help with permanent housing."
Tanner's hope is that contributions to the bell ringers will help provide further assistance to Castle Valley's down on their luck citizens.
"We hope we can count on your support again this year," said Tanner. "And thanks again for your generosity."
Anyone who would like to volunteer for service at the mission or as a bell ringer can call 637-3442 or 650-0990.

Catching every food scrap that surfs down the drain of your dishwater isn't always possible, but with garbage disposals equipped and doing their job you can be sure those surfers don't make it very far. Clogged pipes and stuffed up sinks are a quick way to find your kitchen in disarray, and with the right commercial garbage disposals stopping those scraps from plunging down your pipes can help you avoid calling in the plumber or spending time doing it yourself later on. Great for establishments of any size, these bad boys tear up and break down anything that makes its way down the drain, and having one under the sink can be a godsend.

FORT DRUM After about nine months aiding Afghan police and military forces in Kandahar, about 130 soldiers from the 563rd Military Police Company were welcomed home early Friday.
Capt. Nicholas Rothwell, the companys commander, said soldiers of the unit mentored six Afghan police stations, completed more than 1,300 patrols in the city and helped their Afghan counterparts wean off American support.
Theyre a lot less dependent on American forces than before, he said.
The unit had no deaths during the deployment but suffered what Capt. Rothwell described as a few serious non-combat injuries during its time in theater.
Sitting a few rows off the floor of the Monti Physical Fitness Center, Krystle Leamon waited to see her husband, Spc. Courtland Leamon. Though the two had kept up through Skype and Facebook messages, she admitted her husbands deployment had caught her off guard, as it happened only three weeks after they had married.
We missed every holiday, she said. He was gone.
To attend the ceremony, she had driven 13 hours with her mother, Wanda S. Ellerbe, from her hometown of Aberdeen, N.C.
Sitting in the front row of the bleachers, Julie K. Wright waited for her husband, Sgt. Matthew Wright. The previous day, she had whipped up a special Valentines Day breakfast for their children, Sophie, 2, and Elliot, 11 months, consisting of pink eggs, pancakes and milk.
For the ceremony, she made her children T-shirts inscribed with Welcome Home Daddy and We Miss You So Much.
The approximately 150 people in attendance cheered loudly as the company entered, reflecting the anticipation built up from the ceremonys delay of about an hour as soldiers finished their processing.
After a brief set of remarks, families flooded the gym floor to join their loved ones.
Sgt. Wright, holding Sophie, said he looked forward to getting to know Elliot better.
Nine months isnt long, but for little kids its a lifetime, he said, adding that Elliots birthday was only a few weeks away.
Spc. Leamon said he looked forward to spending time with his wife, admitting it was hard at first to be away from her.
I knew I had the right woman who would stay for me, he said.
Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, the post and 10th Mountain Division commander, praised Mrs. Ellerbe for following his guidance to make sure every returning soldier received a hug or a handshake, noting she hugged a few soldiers who were not even part of the returning group.
If they were in uniform, she hugged them, he said.

i booted from y gparted cd and the partitions are still there. Now the question is how to get back to a boot option on them...
I have gparted on my system and i have opensolaris running in one partition. I loaded Suse on another partition but now I don get my grub menu so i can select my boot image.
How can i get back to my opensolaris to put suse in the grub menu?
I also plan on loading redhat on this system.
i booted from y gparted cd and the partitions are still there. Now the question is how to get back to a boot option on them...
So I booted into safe mode and i notice grub is used here too. I am guessing i have to change the menu.lst file. But what if I want to use my opensolaris grub menu? How do I not make suse the default boot/grub loader?
I tired this in the menu.lst but it gave an error

This is what my solaris menu.lst had in it. However it wont boot.

What does your grub.conf say? You set the default OS to boot with the "default" parameter. A value of "0" will select the first, "1" will set the second, "2" will set the third and so on. Here is known working example I found on the Web.
Your config below may have an error according to this link.

Tomorrow Night v. Spurs
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 03/27/06, 07:19pm:
So we've got the Spurs tomorrow night. I'll see you down there. I don't know where your parking dharma is taking you these days, but I've been feeling the north-of-Staples street parking around Grand & 9th. Great. Though the breadth and reach of Clipperblog.com, the entire world now knows about my parking strategy. Anyway – the Spurs.
It's rare that you see an opposing team at home twice in a three week span. When I was growing up in Atlanta going to Hawks games, my Dad used to joke that we played Cleveland sixteen times a season because it seemed like every time we drove down to the Omni we were playing those awful World B. Free and Phil Hubbard Cavalier teams .
A win tomorrow night would be huge on a zillion accounts. First, it's a win. At home. Good NBA teams don't lose home games unless...well...unless they're getting outcoached by Scottie Skiles. Second, it would drag San Antonio down to the 4 spot and I think we've mutually decided that we'd rather see the Spurs in the playoffs than the Mavs. It's not that we think Dallas is necessarily superior; and we don't disrespect the whole heart-of-a-champion thing. But based on what we've seen, the Clips just match up a whole lot better against the Spurs than they do versus Dallas. More on that in a sec.
Also, in the event you have to meet a higher-seeded team in the first round of a playoff series, it doesn't suck to know that you disposed of them twice at home in March. A win tomorrow secures the Clippers that peace of mind.
Since it was so recent, it's safe to say that the March 7 tape is a nice playbook on how the Clips can take down the United Nations tomorrow night.
March 7 was the Quentin Ross Show, so far as I saw it. I know Tony Parker got his twenty, but he recorded only two assists and what Q did on Parker to disrupt San Antonio's halfcourt sets was phenomenal. Every time the weak-side screen came, Q was prepared; locked up all night, Parker didn't know where to go with the ball.
Offensively, we got Timmy into foul trouble by giving Brand 24 shots (that's a stat we desperately need to see more of – Elton shooting 20+ times a game). Because the Spurs had to double down on Brand, Vlad got loose on the perimeter and went 3-4 from beyond. Ross hit all four of his attempts and Shawn turned the ball over only once in 23 minutes.
Maggette wasn't around for the OT loss at the Alamodome in December . I remember it being one of those early if-we-only-had-Corey games. I wonder what kind of impact he'll have tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to give an update. I got fed up with MDK 9.2 and decided to try an FTP install of SUSE 9.0. The install went fine and I eventually got my wireless to work...BUT I have to manually bring it up with "ifup wlan0" after I boot up. I would like to be able to have it working without manual intervention like I had with MDK 9.1. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great, or what about writing a script to run at start up? I have never written one, so any pointers would be helpful. I just need it to log me on as su and then run ifup wlan0. Thanks.
mugs, I'm not sure how SuSe works, but you can try adding that command to the rc.local file. That's assuming SuSe has one.

Thanks in advance for any and all help on this topic. I have set up an FTP server that works pretty well via PureFTP. I want to do the following and have been unable to find any information on how to.
1) limit users public_html folder size. Basically users(teachers) will put their web pages here and I want to limit how much they can store.
2) When they log into the server, I want the default directory to be public_html, and not their home directory.
Is there a way I can do both of these. Thanks again in advance.
I think the problem with having the teachers' default directory be public_html is that the web pages will then have to be placed in a subdirectory under public_html (like this public_html/public_html). This could be confusing.
You could get their FTP clients to default to the public_html directory.
You can play around with one home directory using the usermod command with the -d qualifier. Check the man pages for details.
You can implement per user quotas under Linux. Check this link

Palin on Global Warming
Well, maybe he left out the kind of caveats and qualifications you'd attach to the attribution of the recent loss of (North) polar sea ice if this were an AGU talk instead of a vice-presidential debate. Overall,though, the statement gets to the heart of the matter.
One can moreover doubt even Palin's commitment to dealing with the consequences of climate change. Surely, that would include doing something to save the polar bears,yet the State of Alaska (against the advice of its own wildlife biologists) is suing the Interior department over its decision to list the polar bear as "threatened" — and this despite the fact that the Bush administration put so many qualifications on the listing as to make it essentially toothless. What's even more telling is that the brief submitted to Interior drew heavily on a list of climate skeptics (including the Marshall Institute's Willie Soon) that could easily have been culled from the infamous Inhofe 400. (see this article). Palin's role in bringing this case has not been peripheral; she has been very much at the center of the effort, and has consistently questioned the causal link between CO2 and global warming in making the case. As early as Dec. 2006, she wrote to Secretary Kempthorne: ""When a species' habitat (in this case, sea ice) is declining due to climate change, but there are no discrete human activities that can be regulated or modified to effect change, what do you do?" Further information about Palin's long fight against the listing, and her view of the scientific issues involved, can be found here.
We will take this occasion to note also that Biden used the debate to reaffirm Obama's long standing position in favor of "clean coal." Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on the extent to which the candidates understand what should really be meant by this term. From the point of view of global warming, the only "clean" coal would be coal burned with 100% carbon capture and sequestration — certainly worthy of research and pilot implementation, but not by any means a technology that can be counted on at present to solve the problem. (And of course, the term "clean" is even then relative, since what mountain top removal mining does to the West Virginia hills and rivers is anything but "clean").
So there you are. We report, you decide.

Well, CSS is different beast. Word processors can't really handle CSS styled sheets because they are mainly for texts. That's why there are web browsers . I'm not even sure if html2pdf will be able to handle css formated web pages. Did you try opening up with Firefox and save the resulting html? I haven't tried it personally so I won't know for sure but it should work, at least in theory.

RENSSELAER FALLS – The Rensselaer Falls Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad joins Waddington as the latest north country ambulance service struggling to find volunteer emergency medical technicians.
Chief Jeff S. Hammond, who has served as a firefighter for close to 30 years, said his biggest fear as chief is losing the villages ambulance services due to lack of membership. And right now, he says membership is dangerously low.
The department is down to four active members after losing four in the last year to retirement and members moving away. That places an exhaustive burden on EMTs who responded to 10 calls last month and over 100 total calls last year, Mr. Hammond said Friday.
If the squad loses its ambulance service, it will have to rely on other departments in Canton or Ogdensburg. But the added response time could mean a matter of life and death, Mr. Hammond said.
Its about 15 minutes from Canton and 20 minutes from Ogdensburg, Mr. Hammond said. Youre looking at doubling that time after you get to the scene, load up and go to the hospital.
In support of the rescue squad, firefighters regularly serve as drivers for EMTs, but they cant provide any kind of medical support other than CPR.
We try to get all our firefighters certified in CPR, but its our EMTs that specialize in patient care, Mr. Hammond said. Right now we only have one EMT who is an advanced life support provider, which means they are the person who can administer IVs and drugs.
As an incentive to complete the EMT training course, the course fees are paid by the department. Mr. Hammond said he thinks the biggest factor in low membership is the time commitment to training and responding to calls. A typical EMT training course, which is given twice a year, runs close to 90 hours, according to the St. Lawrence County Office of Emergency Services.
I dont see anybody wanting to join, Mr. Hammond said. Weve had membership drives and we got very little support, if any, on new membership. But I think there are some people who may join if they are nudged a little bit. Maybe if we are showing that we are opening our doors to new members, people will come up and take an interest in it.
While the department is mostly hurting for EMTs, the department is also looking for new firefighters, Mr. Hammond said.
We have an aging fire department, and we need younger members who are willing to take over after they retire, he said.
If anyone is interested in joining the fire or ambulance squad, they can call the fire station at 344-8853 or call Mr. Hammond at 344-6618.

On March 8, law enforcement authorities from the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested an alleged youth porn user and a man who was reportedly seeking a date with a juvenile.
According to the state atttorney general's office, Henry Wayne Howk of Payson was arrested and booked into the Utah County Jail on five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor for purportedly possessing child pornography.
The second suspect, Joseph Keane of Taylorsville, was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for alleged enticement of a minor via the Internet.
"These arrests illustrate two ways suspects commonly victimize children - by consuming pornography and by using the Internet to arrange to meet a minor for sex - and the professional coordinated response of the ICAC team partners who investigate and arrest alleged criminals," indicated Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
"Investigation and arrest of suspects requires the expertise of many agencies. We are lucky in Utah - our ICAC team is deep in talent thanks to the contribution of investigators from many law enforce agencies," continued Shurtleff
Howk, 38, applied for a job as a law enforcement officer and then admitted to viewing child porn while being questioned during a routine employee selection process, sccording to the attorney general's office.
After apparently realizing the admission would trigger an investigation, the suspect reportedly destroyed the computer. ICAC investigators from the attorney general's office and the department of corrections later located the computer hard drive.
Investigators sent the hard drive to the regional computer forensics laboratory, where it was reconstructed and found to contain child pornography.
"This was a joint investigation occurring over a period of eight months. The ICAC team was assisted by the Utah Department of Corrections, adult probation and parole and the Utah Joint Criminal Apprehension Team to investigate and arrest suspect Howk," pointed out Capt. Chris Ahearn of the attorney general's office. "The regional computer forensics lab also did a superior job of resurrecting evidence on a hard drive that had been destroyed."
The regional computer forensics lab is a joint project supported by the attorney general's office, the Utah Department of Public Safety and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Suspect Keane, age 50, was arrested after a three-month investigation conducted by a department of public safety representative assigned to the attorney general's ICAC task force.
Accused offenders are presumed innocent until the defendant are found guilty or plead to charges while being processed through the criminal justice system, explained Shurtleff.
The Utah Attorney General's Office oversees the ICAC task force. The agency includes investigators from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the department of public safety, the department of corrections along with several police departments and county law enforcement agencies in the state.
The Utah task force is also affiliated with the Ada County Sheriff's Office in Idaho and the Billings Police Department in Montana.

Product Details
Hyundai Elantra 2009, Stage 2 Sport Brake Kit by EBC®. Bolt Pattern: 114.3mm. Replace your old, worn out brakes with better performing pads and rotors from EBC. The Stage 2 Sport Brake Kit is designed to increase your stopping power and produce less brake dust than your stock brakes. The 2000 Series brake pads paired with the Ultimax rotors are sure to do their job very well every time you hit the brakes. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor.
- Created to be the lowest noise brake rotors designed for performance applications
- Angled slots on rotor surfaces allow superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases
- Two sets of slots on rotor surfaces provide even pad wear which creates flat, parallel rotor wear without ridges from developing
- Vented centers feature an aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides for superior cooling
- Black GEOMET and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
- Brake rotors are unidirectional to the left and right side of your vehicle to maximize effectiveness
- EBC recommends a 500 mile break in period with lighter braking application
- 6-month/3,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature rotor wear under normal driving conditions
- Designed to give a high level of grip upon initial brake application
- Engineered for optimum performance on lighter vehicles with horsepower ratings under 200
- Nominal friction coefficient of 0.55
- Offers superior brake performance up to temperatures of 1,100° Fahrenheit
- Patented organic AF42/66 pad friction material features a low level of metallic compounds that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%
- Produces low amount of brake dust
- Backing plate and side edges of brake pad are green powder coated for resistance to corrosion
- Pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
- Center gap allows for proper heat expansion of brake pads
- Built in noise-reducing shims
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating
- 6 month/10,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature pad wear under normal driving conditions
Rotor Benefits:
- Slots create an escape route for debris, dust, gases, and water
- Slots clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
- Slots help to increase pad bite and improve air circulation
- Slots reduce stopping distances in wet weather
- Vented type of rotors offer much faster heat dissipation
USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are created for the enthusiast who wants low noise from their brakes while doing a higher level of aggressive driving or towing. Two sets of shallow slots cover all areas of the rotor surfaces so both pads and rotors wear evenly all the way across – preventing the grooves and ridges from building up that cause frictional noise. They also effectively increase the level of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gas expulsion necessary to keep rotors cool and functional during street performance driving in any weather. Additionally, USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors feature a vented center for air to pass between both rotor sides, so metal expands evenly during use and the chance of warpage is minimized. USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are designed for use with EBC Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads. All areas of the rotors have a protective coating to prevent corrosion, and should be fully ready for use after the first 500 miles of moderate brake application.
For less powerful vehicles that don't usually travel at triple-digit velocity, EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series Sport replacement brake pads offer better braking power at real world driving speeds and are thus formulated to provide longer pad life instead of autobahn grip. Sized and fitted to match the exact tolerances of original equipment, these pads fit properly, wear evenly, and avoid rattling or squealing. A patented metallic aramid compound uses DuPont Kevlar and Twaron composites to minimize the amount of steel wool necessary, so these pads cause far less abrasive wear on rotors without compromising brake pad efficiency or longevity. In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC pads have been shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity versus original manufacturer parts. EBC's patented brake pad material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squealing but not so soft that longevity becomes compromised. On some German vehicles, you may even see longer life with EBC pads than the original factory brake pads.
If you're installing Greenstuff 2000 Series Sport Brake Pads with new brake rotors, you'll find down the road when the time comes to replace the pads again, the rotors will still be usable enough to last through another set of brake pads. And if you're installing EBC pads without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate perfectly against the grooves and lips that normally form on the rotor surfaces, so the meat of the pad makes contact against the rotor center where it counts. These pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. The coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions. EBC backs their replacement brake pads with a 6-month or 10,000 mile warranty against premature wear under normal driving conditions.158.96 229.88

CUMBERLAND — At 56 years of age, Scott Miller, a small business owner, doesn't have to take part in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge – a grueling, two-day, 192-mile trek from Sturbridge to the tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown.
The Cumberland resident just chooses to, and he has dozens of explanations as to why he participates in the longest, most difficult version of the PMC.
"I ride with a woman named Janet; she's from South Attleboro, and we'll go over the Bourne Bridge and pick up the bike path that leads you down the canal," he stated recently. "It's about seven-eight miles between the bridges (Sagamore and Bourne), and we ride parallel to Route 6. On (Route) 3A, there are a lot of people out there sitting and applauding you, all of us. They have little parties, and they have hoses to spray water on you. It can get hot out there, but everyone goes crazy.
"One really fun story I have is from years ago; I was a little heavier then, but still in shape. I was riding up a big hill down in Sandwich, and I was approaching a mother and daughter, the little girl, maybe three years old, yelled, 'Get going!' The mom looked at her daughter and said, 'Honey, you have to say, 'Way to go!' I broke up laughing!"
Again, he doesn't have to do this but chooses to, and it's because of all the friendships he's made, the sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-frightful, tales he can recount upon completion, the satisfaction he feels upon raising money for the challenge's contributions thousands have made to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
When Miller takes to the starting line in Sturbridge at about 7 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, he will attempt to complete the long, winding course through 46 cities and towns through the Bay State for the 14th time.
The 34th annual Challenge, the nation's first charity bike-a-thon that raises more cash than any other athletic fund-raising event in the U.S., will field not just Miller and Pawtucket resident Allan Johnson but approximately 5,500 other cyclists for the collective goal of accumulating $38 million to support adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research not only at Dana-Farber, but to The Jimmy Fund.
PMC riders range in age from 13-88, and some are seasoned triathletes, while others are mere "weekend warriors" who train for this excursion alone. It's existed since 1980, thanks to PMC founder, executive director and participant Billy Starr.
"It's a powerful and emotional weekend for everyone involved," he explained. "From the cyclists to the volunteers, staff and family and friends along the route, the PMC unified 10,000 people for one weekend to make a difference, and raise funds to eradicate cancer."
Offered Miller: "Everyone knows somebody with cancer, and they all take it personally. One hundred percent of the money raised goes to Dana-Farber for cancer research. We all know it's for a good cause, and that (doctors and researchers) are making great strides. My mom is a 40-year survivor of breast cancer. When I was five or six, I had a 13-year-old cousin who died of a brain tumor, back in 1962-63.
"With research the way it's been, she may have survived it, so those are the kinds of strides they're making," he continued. "I had an uncle pass of colon cancer, and he was only 71 or 72. That was back in 1988, and – given the research – he could've survived. My friend's wife passed away of a brain tumor seven-eight years ago, and she left behind two children. My grandmother dies of breast cancer at 56 back in the '40s.
See LOCAL, page B3
"Some people have heart disease linked to their families; unfortunately, cancer is in mine. I could say it's self-serving, because look at me. I don't have it, and neither do my sister, my cousins, my nieces, but they could … I just did the Multiple Sclerosis ride (two weeks ago); we went from Hasbro in Pawtucket, stopped at Wheaton College (in Norton) and turned around and rode back to Hasbro.
"We did 156 miles in two days. I just do it because I know a few people with MS, and I want to help, but it' also a good training ride for the PMC. Cancer, MS and other (diseases), they're curses that a lot of people have to go through, and I just want to help."
Johnson, a 52-year-old field service technician, will cycle the 50-mile route – one of many PMC officials organize due to job, time and family commitments – from Wellesley to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on Sunday, Aug. 4 "because that's all I can afford," he noted.
It will be his third Challenge bike-a-thon.
"The fee to do the 192-mile, two-day to Provincetown is $4,300; that's how much you have to pledge to take part. For the 50-mile, it's only $1,000, and I've already raised $950 … I married my wife, Teresa, 13 years ago, and the reason I do this is because her sister, Catherine Green, died of cancer Sept. 21, 2004. I remember that well, (as) it's my father's birthday.
"Cathy was only 48, and she left behind a daughter; she was only three," he continued. "I wanted to do this because I wanted to help people with cancer but couldn't afford the cost of treatments. I also like riding my bike. It keeps me in shape, but – more important – it's helping others.
"Cathy was the maid of honor at our wedding (Oct. 6, 2001), and she already had cancer. When I met her, she was still walking and in good shape. As it progressed, two to three months later, and because of all the radiation, the cancer spread into her bones and she couldn't walk anymore."
When Johnson told Teresa about his idea of participating in the PMC, she squeezed him mightily. How proud was she?
"She was behind me 110 percent," he chuckled. "She knew I could do it, maybe because I've always been athletic, and I thought I could, too. I used to play volleyball and golf, and I did a lot of (weight) lifting workouts."
Cathy, however, isn't the lone reason Johnson, a former outstanding sprinter for the Mansfield High track squad, continues to contribute.
"I do it in memory of my sister-in-law, but I've also had relatives pass away," he said. "My uncle, Lewis Johnson, died of prostate cancer at about 60. My aunt, Ruth Millington, lived in Norton and passed of a cancer. My wife's brother, Steve McDermott, had throat cancer, but he's a survivor."
When asked how he trains to complete even his 50-mile jaunt, he explained he had biked over 150 miles over the previous three weeks.
"My minimum training session was 25 miles in a day, but I've done 50 a couple of times," he stated. "I bike a couple of times a week, and they range from 30-50, so – if I could get the sponsors and raise more money – I'd do the two-day event every year."
When asked why, he immediately answered, "Because I love the crowds and their enthusiasm. The camaraderie is incredible, not just from your fellow riders but everyone. I've met so many people and become friends with them. I actually joined a (cycling) team, the Patriot Platelet Peddlers out of Foxboro; I did because I knew a couple of members, and it didn't cost anything to join.
"It's all part of the PMC," he added. "I'm excited now as I've ever been; it's all about the people who ride for the cause in trying to find a cure. It think it brings more awareness to the public, especially with all of the Patriots' logos that go with it. The PMC has the Myra Kraft Initiative (New England Patriots' Owner Robert Kraft's wife succumbed to cancer a few years ago).
"I'm part of the Patriot Platelet Peddlers' team, and I love it."
Miller just exists to approach what he calls "The Hedges."
"You'll be riding into Brewster, and there will be a sign that says 'Hedges, 2 Miles,'" he laughs.
This comes after he's already cycled an opening day of about 110 miles, and spent the night at Bourne's Massachusetts Maritime Academy; some stay in dorm rooms, others choose to prop up a tent on nearby grounds.
He noted that after a full breakfast to "fuel" up for Sunday's trek, he and pal Janet take to their bikes and begin their last trek to P-Town.
"There are a lot of bushes, and – as you ride up – a ton of kids will scrunch down behind them. When you pass, they'll run out and start screaming. It's kind of like a weird 'Hide & Seek.' There will be 20 or 30 of them, and they come running up and cheer you on.
"Honestly, you get so excited," he added. "They really help you emotionally. You give them high-fives, and they're so spirited! It's a real pick-me-up. It's such a good time. You'll have people watching you do that kind of stuff all along the way.
"There's a guy in Rehoboth I've got to know very well. He has an old-fashioned home, and I'll always yell out, 'Clean bathrooms!' Obviously, a lot of us want those. I joke with him all the time I'm going to put up a sign "Clean bathrooms!' so a lot of folks will ask him (for usage).
"The thing is, he always provides water for me, and I'll stop and chat. He's a great guy. I can't wait to see him this year."
Miller, who already has raised about $3,400 of the $4,300 he needs, insists he's not a biking fanatic, but just doing what he truly likes.
"I just enjoy it, getting from Point A to Point B in one piece," he said. "A lot of people who do this know it's for a great cause. I knew one guy who was overweight, he went about 225, and worked as a businessman. I talked him into doing this, and he slowly got into it.
"After one year of riding, he took off 30 pounds; he had been on medications for high blood pressure, but he's been fine for a long time. He likes to get out and do this. Now he bikes about 10,000 miles a year … You know, there are people who'll go out to a bar and order a beer, then another, and they'll get all depressed, but – in the PMC – you meet a lot of people. You're all in it for the same cause. The endorphins start to fly, and you know you're doing something constructive to help people.
"It's such a rush, and I always bump into someone I knew as a kid or teen. One time, I bumped into a friend of mine I do business with, and she's from California. I see her every year, and we hug and talk for a little bit. In some ways, it's like a reunion."
