Hi all,
I am using Red Hat Linux 4.0. I want a command to know that I am usig Red Hat Linux 4.0. When I use the command,
uname -a
it gives the kernel version. But what is the command to find out the Linux Desktop Version i.e. I want a command that prints Red Hat Linux version 4.0

I have found out one way.
cat /etc/redhat-release
This prints out the linux release.
But, I am looking for a command, because anyone can modify this file.

Hey Guru,
The /etc/redhat-release file should be owned by root, with only root having modify permissions. So I wouldn't worry too much about the file changing. If you think about it, this file was probably added for exactly the purpose you are describing. That is, there is no standard Linux command to get Distribution specific information.

It's true. Only root should be able to modify the /etc/redhat-release file. However, some releases of Oracle were known to check that file to see if the system was running an Oracle-supported release. Since Oracle doesn't support Fedora, people would temporarily modify the /etc/redhat-release file to make it present an Oracle-blessed release name while the installer ran if they wanted to play with Oracle on a Fedora box.
Some confusion here: The OS release is NOT the distro release, and neither of the above are "desktop" releases. The uname command lists the OS (kernel) release, the /etc/redhat-release file lists the Red Hat OS release (other vendors have their own ways of doing this). But the Desktop is ONLY available on machines running the X window system. There's no such thing as a command-line "desktop"; about the closes you'll get is a choice of shells.
Speaking of choices, when you log in via an X terminal, your login script will usually start up some sort of desktop. Most commonly, this is KDE or Gnome, but it can be other systems, such as Sawfish, especially for smaller systems where the heavy resource demands of a "fat" desktop like KDE or Gnome are too much.
The Desktop used is determined PER USER. That is, I may login and use KDE, someone else may be logged in from another X terminal using Gnome. Red Hat has a command named "switch-desktop" that allows the user to select which desktop to use. Each of these Desktop systems comes from a different project, so their release numbers are totally unrelated to each other or to the distro and kernel release numbers.
If you want to determine what version of Gnome is installed on a particular Red Hat or Fedora system, you can use the rpm command to return the version info on the gnome-desktop package. That will tell you what version of Gnome is installed in the rpm database.
An IDE is no substitute for an Intelligent Developer.

You could also check the result of "rpm -q redhat-release", just in case the file was modified.
Just a thought!

sometimes "issue" is used:

Category talk:Handbook9.1
From PC-BSD Wiki
I'm unsure how to handle published vs unpublished, since only the images of published handbooks currently remain. The wiki does provide possible methods to subdivide and organize (aside from categories) that could be used but in the case of previously published handbooks, it might be somewhat of a backtrack.
Here's a thought (dunno how do able it is)
Reduce the number of visible edits between releases (published handbooks). Traversing through the billions of edits between versions feels a lot more disjointed and muddled.
Maybe if every page is shifted to a different name of a sort- like how there can be blah:title/subpage

Eurocom updates monster 17-inch gaming notebook
updated 08:35 am EDT, Fri March 23, 2007
Eurocom D900 Phantom
Canadian notebook maker Eurocom has just updated its flagship notebook series with the D900C Phantom. Based closely on the Taiwan-only Clevo notebook with a similar name, the 17-inch system is designed almost exclusively for gamers and pro 3D users with desktop components. In Eurocom form, the system uses a desktop-class Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme as well as an MXM mobile graphics card slot that lets owners install any of multiple NVIDIA-made video chipsets -- including the gaming-friendly dual 512MB GeForce Go 7950 GTX or the upcoming GeForce Go 8000 series, the company is keen to point out.
Appropriately, the system also has near-desktop storage options, peaking at 600GB of storage spread across three hard drives (including the option of a RAID array) and with the option of a Blu-Ray drive for watching movies on its 1920x1200 screen. An HDTV tuner is an option, but the ability to play MP3s without turning the notebook on is standard.
Pricing has yet to be set, but should become available by the time the D900C ships in North America on April 30th.

from the transport into the concentration camps for execution."More evidence of the confinement of Russian prisoners of war in concentration camps is found in an official report of the investigation of the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp by the Headquarters of the United States Third Army, the Judge Advocate Section, and particularly the War Crimes Branch, under the date of the 21st day of June 1945. It is our Document Number 2309-PS and bears Exhibit Number USA-245. At the bottom of Page 2 of the English text the last two sentences of that last paragraph say, and I quote:
"In 1941 an additional stockade was added at the Flossenbürg camp to hold 2,000 Russian prisoners. Of these 2,000 prisoners only 102 survived."Soviet prisoners of war found their allies in the concentration camps too; and at Page 4 of this same Document Number 2309-PS, it will show, particularly Paragraph 5 on Page 4, and I quote it:
"The victims of Flossenbürg included among them: Russian civilians and prisoners of war, German nationals, Italians, Belgians, Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, British, and' American prisoners of war. No practical means was available to complete a list of victims of this camp; however, since the foundation of the camp in 1938 until the day of liberation, it is estimated that more than 29,000 inmates died."Escaped prisoners of war were sent to concentration camps by the conspirators, and these camps were specially set up as extermination centers; and we refer to Document Number 1650-PS, bearing Exhibit Number USA-246. This document is a communication from the Secret State Police of Cologne and it is dated the 4th day of March 1944. At the very top of the English text it says, "To be transmitted in secret-to be handled as a secret Government matter."
"Concerns: Measures to be taken against captured escaped prisoners of war who are officers or non-working non commissioned officers, except British and American prisoners of war. The Supreme Command of the Army has ordered as follows:
"1. Every captured escaped prisoner of war who is an officer or a non-working noncommissioned officer, except British and American prisoners of war, is to be turned over to the Chief of the Security Police and of the Security Service under the classification Step III regardless of whether the escape occurred during a transport, whether it was a mass escape, or an individual one.

November 29, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) Federal regulators are proposing to phase out thousands of older rail tank cars that carry crude oil. It's the government's response to a series of fiery train crashes over the past year, including a runaway oil train that exploded in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, killing 47 people.
The Department of Transportation said Wednesday that older DOT-111 tank cars will have to be retrofitted or replaced.
Accident investigators have complained for decades that the cars are too easily punctured or ruptured when derailed, spilling their contents.

|The Eumelanin Intermediate 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-Carboxylic Acid Is a Messenger in the Cross-Talk among Epidermal Cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22297637 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Interest in colorless intermediates of melanocyte metabolism has traditionally been related to their role as melanin precursors, though several lines of evidence scattered in the literature suggested that these compounds may exert an antioxidant and protective function per se unrelated to pigment synthesis. Herein, we disclose the remarkable protective and differentiating effects of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a diffusible dopachrome tautomerase (DCT)-dependent eumelanin intermediate, on primary cultures of human keratinocytes. At micromolar concentrations, DHICA induced: (a) time- and dose-dependent reduction of cell proliferation without concomitant toxicity; (b) enhanced expression of early (spinous keratins K1 and K10 and envelope protein involucrin) and late (loricrin and filaggrin) differentiation markers; (c) increased activities and expression of antioxidant enzymes; and (d) decreased cell damage and apoptosis following UVA exposure. The hitherto unrecognized role of DHICA as an antiproliferative, protective, and antiapoptotic endogenous cell messenger points to a reappraisal of the biological functions of melanocytes and DCT in skin homeostasis and photoprotection beyond the mere provision of melanin pigments, and provides, to our knowledge, a previously unreported possible explanation to the higher resistance of the dark-skinned eumelanic phenotypes to sunburn and skin cancer.Journal of Investigative Dermatology advance online publication, 2 February 2012; doi:10.1038/jid.2011.457.

Classy Sauvignon Blanc with a strong fruit emphasis including pineapple, grapefruit, orange blossom and chalky/mineral flavours plus a subliminal nutty character from contact with oak and yeast lees. A richer and more complex Sauvignon than most from this region with an impeccable balance of sweetness and acidity.
A lovely rich, fleshy, broader style of Sauvignon Blanc. This is very different than the grassy, snappy Marlborough style that many people associate with NZ as a whole. This wine has lots of ripe stone fruit with some aromatic tropical nuances. There are still lots of mineral tones here and fresh acidity, but the wine has a softer, rounder mouth feel which is further enhanced by the subtle oak and lees contact flavors of fresh bread and almond. A complex and super quaffable wine. This is certainly worth the MSRP of $20+ but even better at this price thanks to our importer direct deal. Buy up, you cannot have too much of this around for the summer time! Ryan Woodhouse - K&L NZ Wine Buyer

The Hague-Delhi Initiative on Global Governance
28 November 2012
Observer Research Foundation (ORF) and the Hague Institute for Global Justice (THIGJ) recently hosted the second workshop of 'The Hague Initiative on Global Governance' in New Delhi. The Initiative, which began with an interaction at the THIGJ, Hague in April 2012 intends to map out - over the course of three years of regular exchanges, publications, conferences and seminars - perspectives, positions, and points of divergence among nations (Developed and Emerging) that currently prevent meaningful consensus on important global issues.
At the second meeting, held between November 21 and 23, scholars, policy-makers, political commentators and advisors from all BRICS countries along with Turkey, Colombia, the US and the EU came together to take the initiative further. They shared and discussed papers and identified core issues on which to jointly embark on research and discussions in the coming months. While new institutions for global governance are generally reactive, constructed only after major crises, participants at the Delhi conference expressed hope that the initiative can help to shape, ex-ante, more effective and representative institutions of global governance.
On the first day, deliberations revolved around five paper presentations -- John C. Hulsman, from John C. Hulsman Enterprises, provoked a lively debate on the difficult issue of burden and power-sharing in the context of global governance. He emphasised nation states as the indispensible building block of the international order for the foreseeable future, especially given the emergence of BRICS and other emerging economies where sovereignty matters and in tandem with the US which differs in this regard with the EU as well. In this environment, interest must necessarily trump a nebulous conception of 'common values' if real progress is to be made. Only in this context can greater burden and power-sharing occur, which is necessary for integrating emerging powers into structures of global management. There was broad agreement that while the West may be in relative decline, interest-based compromise from all players will be necessary in global forums in order to successfully accommodate interests of rising powers and indeed the developing countries.
Sun Jisheng, from China Foreign Affairs University, presented a paper of her colleague Qin Yaqing, introducing the idea of relational governance as a means of emphasizing the development of partnerships in the international arena over negotiations of stakeholder interests. She noted that the increasingly threatening nature of global problems is an indication of global governance failures. While the world is becoming multi-polar, global institutions are still governed by Western-led, ruled based paradigms. Three principals for global governance must be followed moving forward. One, (pluralism) reformed institutions must be democratized, inclusive and accommodating. Two, (partnership) relationship-based governance will help create a global identity, meaning shared cross-border stakes in solving the world's problems. Third, (participation) involving new actors must be highlighted over punishing international norms violators. This can create a positive 'co-evolution' process, which will help tackle current failures in governance.
Francis A. Kornegay, from the Institute for Global Dialogue, highlighted the dilemma of nation-state political sovereignty being diluted by both the dynamics of economic globalization and the diffusion of power to supra-national entities, despite their seemingly increased lack of legitimacy. He argued that sometimes supra-national entities like the EU or indeed the evolving African Union are outcomes of efforts to have greater weight on high tables where global rules are shaped.
Jan Rood, from the Netherlands Institute for International Relations Clingendael, presenting a paper by his colleague Peter van Ham, sparked a discussion on the efficacy of existing international financial groupings and the question of whether a viable alternative can actually exist. While the G20 was recently a good economic crisis manager with a gun to its collective head, it has since been ineffective in shaping new international governance architecture. Emerging nations are still clamoring for increased representation at the World Bank and IMF. Meanwhile, the G8 is no longer representative of the multi-polar world order.
Salma Bava, from the Jawaharlal Nehru University's School of International Studies, posed the question of how to make global governance representative and equitable, a clearinghouse for resolving crisis that avoids the Old World method of war. Unfortunately, politics is apt to see itself with traditional thinking, which may stymie reform. However, the EU and its member states are attempting to make linkages and create networks with individual emerging nations that may have different value systems, while also working to solve problems multilaterally through the UN system. It was observed that the approach of the EU has an inherent paradox where it is a Economic giant on the one hand and a political non-entity in the eyes of many nations on the other. Additionally, while EU has strategic partnerships with many emerging countries, its large member states too have such bi-lateral agreements with the same countries.
The second day was dedicated to arriving at a definition of a future 'mission statement' for the Hague initiative - one equally understood and shared by its participants - as well as the identification of topical areas on which future joint research and exchanges could be focused. Topics discussed included a new global energy pact, global commons, maritime security, development cooperation architecture, UN reform, urbanization, and the right to protect. In the end, Ocean Governance and the Future Financial System were tentatively singled out for further discussion at the upcoming conference. The initiative will also continue to focus on mapping out persistent structural, ideological and perceptional cleavages in the current global governance system.
The next meeting of 'The Hague-Delhi Initiative on Global Governance' will again be held in The Hague during May 2013 and will zero-in on the two aforementioned issues alongside the larger effort to map cleavages in global governance and find ways to bridge the differences and distances. The larger policy-making community will be invited to participate in some of the discussions and/or comment on recommendations of the Initiative.
The "Hague-Delhi Initiative on Global Governance," as it has been re-branded in Delhi, will continue to bring voices from the old and new powers to the table, and perspectives from the old and new civilizations. Apart from THIGJ and ORF, the initiative has been supported by the Dutch Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Netherlands Institute for International Relations Clingendael.

Arizona woman Connie Villa accused of trying to poison children
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. - An Arizona woman is accused of trying to poison her four children, including one who died, and of stabbing her former husband, all on Christmas.
Casa Grande police say 35-year-old Connie Villa was arrested Sunday on suspicion of one count of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder.
According to police, the ex-husband called 911 after he was stabbed when he went to Villa's residence. Officers found the body of 13-year-old Aniarael Macias, while Villa with stab wounds believed to have been self-inflicted.
Autopsy and toxicology results are pending on the girl, believed to have been poisoned.
The three other children are in good condition and are now with their father's family.
On Sunday afternoon, Aniarael's family issued the following statement:
On behalf of Michael Macias, Ania's father, Vera Macias, Ania's grandmother and extended family, we request that the focus of this tragedy be a celebration of our precious Ania's life. She was a gentle, kind and beautiful spirit who was taken from us much too soon. Michael and his family are heartbroken. Ania was always smiling. She loved her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed spending time with her father and sister Gaby. We are writing this statement in hopes that the media and other outlets will allow Michael and our family to grieve peacefully. We thank everyone for the outpouring of support for our family. We appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts. We pray that justice will be served.
It's not immediately known whether Villa has an attorney. A possible motive hasn't been disclosed.

|PMID: 21453336 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We present a case of pacemaker artifact on 12-lead electrocardiogram that was initially interpreted as malfunction of the patient's dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker. It was ultimately determined to arise from an extracardiac gastric pacemaker, which had been inserted for refractory, severe diabetic gastroparesis. Proper functioning of both devices was confirmed, and settings were adjusted to test for interdevice interference. This is a report of a patient with both cardiac pacemaker and a gastric pacemaker. We review the literature on patients with multiple pacemaker devices, and conclude with several practical considerations for their care. (PACE 2011; 1-3).

SAN DIEGO >> Linebacker Manti Te'o is a longshot to be in uniform Sunday when the Chargers travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.
Te'o was one of two Chargers who didn't practice on Thursday.
"He is going to start Week 7," teammate Donald Butler joked.
Te'o hasn't practiced since spraining his right foot in an Aug. 8 preseason game.
But he is getting closer. He no longer wears a walking boot on his right foot and his running and change-of-direction movements have increased significantly when working on the side with trainer James Collins.
"We are making a lot of progress," Te'o said. "We will see about next week, but it is looking good so far."
The other Charger not working was defensive end Sean Lissemore. He had treatment for an infection near his elbow and was confident he would practice today and play on Sunday.

"Gift of Gab" is a love story, between a man and a woman but also a man and his city. ¶ El Pasoan Diego Rico, 24, directed and stars in the short film. To connect with his college crush, Rico's character must first connect with his Mexican-American culture. ¶ Rico is among a group of young filmmakers who are finding success by exploring the unique perspectives of the border.
"Places like L.A. and New York have saturated markets, but El Paso has a unique perspective to offer," he said. "I want to be here and continue to build my platform from here."
Two other El Pasoans' films have garnered international attention — 19-year-old UTEP student Leo Aguirre's film was screened last month at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France, and Hanks High School graduate Ryan Piers Williams' second film, "X/Y," debuted in April at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Rico's 22-minute short has also won acclaim at smaller film festivals across the country, including the 30th Chicago Latino Film Festival, Cine Las Americas in Austin and the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival.
Ghostlight Creative's Ray Sanchez calls these films a sign of the "creative awakening" in the region. Sanchez said more storytellers are choosing to stay in El Paso to develop the creative space, rather than moving to larger cities with established art scenes.
"I personally made the decision a long time ago to stay in El Paso and fill the community versus go to a place that is ready-made," he said. "I know I'm not the only one."
Sanchez's advertising agency is behind the Ghostlight 48 Hour Film Slam, which gives budding filmmakers 48 hours to produce eight-minute short films. This year, 13 filmmaking teams participated in the annual competition that started in 2011. All the entries will be shown at 1 p.m. Sunday at Tricky Falls.
"There's a lot of good talent in El Paso, and we're trying to do stuff to get our names heard," said Erik Medina, whose team participated in the film slam for the first time this year. "Most of the time, we have to do stuff on our own to get recognized."
That's exactly what Rico said he has had to do. Rico studied finance and accounting at UTEP and held internships on Wall Street. He had to use YouTube videos and advice from friends to teach himself film production skills in his off time.
After he and his filmmaking partner, Armando Mena, wrapped their first film, Rico submitted their short to Latino and regional film festivals to see how "Gift of Gab" measured up.
"I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst," he said. "I was excited to get shown outside of El Paso, or even outside of my room."
"Gift of Gab" took two years to complete. The film follows Pedro Bustamante, an El Paso college student who learns Spanish to help woo a foreign exchange student from Mexico. As he learns the language, he navigates the binational and bicultural dynamics that shape his identity and that of his community.
Rico said the complexity of El Paso's border culture has left a lasting impression on audiences outside of the area.
"They always ask more about the city, about the culture," he said. "They're really curious about what it's like to live in a border city like El Paso."
Aspiring filmmaker Jackson Alexander, who participated in the 48 Hour Film Slam, said growing up in the city encouraged him to pick up a camera.
"Being here in El Paso was really one of the best things for me," the University of Texas at Austin film student said. "We have this big, rich culture, and you can go anywhere to film. Having that liberty makes this an ideal place to film in many ways."
Dustin Ybarra, an actor and comedian who has appeared in major motion pictures such as "We Bought a Zoo" and "Hop," was a judge for this year's film slam. He said he was impressed by the city's potential.
"I can tell there's a lot of talent and creativity from all the films I saw," he said. "I wasn't expecting them to be that good."
Entries will be screened at the Plaza Classic Film Festival in August, along with the El Paso debut of Rico's film.
"I think this happens with any city that's growing up," said Rico, who hopes to shoot a feature length film next year. "You see the city grow and at the same time, our appetites start growing for other things. For El Paso, that thing is art."
Sanchez said he hopes El Paso's creative influence will continue to grow.
"There is a legitimate creative energy coming out of El Paso," he said. "It is no longer viewed as the bottom of the U.S., but as the center of the continent."

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Right now I'm working full time doing pesticide applications, but I'm also a musician and I spend a lot of time touring all across the country playing shows. Music is really what I want to spend my life doing, and I'm making big waves in the underground and am on the verge of hitting it big, if there's such a thing in death metal! I don't like being "that guy" that always talks about his band (and I try not to), but I'm really passionate about my music and where I'm headed.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I'm good at a few things, paintball, music, making people laugh. I'm a bit of a gaming nerd as well.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Probably my hair, since it's very long, or my eyes.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I'm into all kinds of movies, though I enjoy action and horror. As far as music goes, metal all the way! I like death metal the best, but I'm also a huge fan of Kamelot and Katatonia (liking either one will earn you major bonus points!).
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Where in the country I want to tour to next.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Probably relaxing and watching something on Netflix, or indulging in some PS4.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I like to have conversations using movie quotes. If you're a film junkie like me, you'd understand!
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You're into metal, or if you're a gamer. If you're a Katatonia fan, you're my new best friend.

The cooling system of your Cadillac heavily relies on the thermostat to be able to work properly. Overheating could be avoided if your car utilizes a dependable Cadillac thermostat.
Just like other subcomponents, Cadillac thermostats will definitely break down. An indication that you need to replace your Cadillac 's "thermometer" is when it stays indefinitely in the open or the close position, making an engine warning light to fail; whichever the case, the car's cooling system is surely to suffer and cause serious engine trouble. Rusty patches are also usual issues especially if moisture seeps into the thermostat's steel components. You'll have to purchase a new subcomponent if it is beyond repair.
If you are at this site hunting for a thermostat for your Cadillac , then you're at the right place. We're your ultimate provider of top-grade items at affordable prices. We proudly have a variety of benefits for our shoppers, making us a popular site among people who wish to enjoy the most out of their limited budgets. Every product is built to go beyond customer expectations in terms of quality, especially since we get our parts from top brands like Stant, Motorcraft, and Beck Arnley. If you do need a sturdy OE Cadillac thermostat that's so easy to attach, get one from Parts Train.

National Center for Injury Prevention and Control United States Consumer Product Safety Commission National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program, 2010 NEISS 2010 Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research 2013 accidents medical care nonfatal injuries poisoning product safety public health public safety 2013-06-04 2013-06-07 2010-01--2010-12 administrative records data 34640 2 Beginning in July 2000, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), expanded the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) to collect data on all types and causes of injuries treated in a representative sample of United States hospitals with emergency departments (ED). This system is called the NEISS-All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). The NEISS-AIP is designed to provide national incidence estimates of all types and external causes of nonfatal injuries and poisonings treated in United States hospital EDs. Data on injury-related visits are being obtained from a national sample of 66 out of 100 NEISS hospitals that were selected as a stratified probability sample of hospitals in the United States and its territories with a minimum of 6 beds and a 24-hour ED. The sample includes separate strata for very large, large, medium, and small hospitals, defined by the number of annual ED visits per hospital, and children's hospitals. The scope of reporting goes beyond routine reporting of injuries associated with consumer-related products in CPSC's jurisdiction to include all injuries and poisonings. The data can be used to (1) measure the magnitude and distribution of nonfatal injuries in the United States, (2) monitor unintentional and violence-related nonfatal injuries over time, (3) identify emerging injury problems, (4) identify specific cases for follow-up investigations of particular injury-related problems, and (5) set national priorities. A fundamental principle of this expansion effort is that preliminary surveillance data will be made available in a timely manner to a number of different federal agencies with unique and overlapping public health responsibilities and concerns. Also, annually, the final edited data are released as public use data files for use by other public health professionals and researchers. These public use data files provide NEISS-AIP data on nonfatal injuries collected from July through December each year. Variables in the datasets include body part affected by injury, diagnosis, case disposition, fire involvement, immediate cause of injury, injury as determined by the CDC, intent of injury, intent with sexual/other assault, locales where injured, precipitating cause of injury, perpetrator to victim relationship in assault, reason for assault, whether injury was sports-related or traffic-related, whether it was a violent injury, and date of injury. Demographic information specifies race, sex, and age of patient.

I've used scrubs off and on in the past. I decided two months ago that I wanted to add a scrub back into my skincare routine (hadn't used one in several months or more) to help with exfoliating dry patches that I was getting. Most previously, I used the St. Ives Apricot scrub but had heard it was way too abrasive for your skin (although I myself never had any irritations or breakouts from it) so I decided I wanted to try something else. I saw the great reviews for the Clinique Exfoliating Scrub and wanted to give it a try.
I loved the peppermint/menthol quality about it and how it felt soothing on my skin. I used this twice a week for about a month and a half. I noticed my cheeks would always be red and blotchy right after I used this scrub, but I dismissed it and figured this was normal, as I always get a little rosey in the cheeks. I really wanted to like this product and didn't want to believe what it was doing to my skin since so many others have found success with it.
However, I experienced the worst breakout period in my whole life while using this product. Every few days, I would get a new pimple. The last time I used this product, my nose looked like it was peeling (similar to what you look like after you've been sunburned) I believe this and the Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2 are the culprits of the acne breakouts... I am not 100% sure if it was 100% this, 100% the clarifying lotion, or both, but really do not want to continue testing either one of them to find out (esp since I gave this skincare routine two months) I feel like my skin's suffered enough and really want to start HEALING it, not making it any worse.
I've used products before that contained menthol (which this does) and never had problems so I don't think that was the cause of the irritation... it does however contain salicylic acid, so if any of you are sensitive to salicylic acid, I would stay clear of this product.
I still wanted to have a scrub in my skincare routine so I had to think of past scrubs that I had success with... I've only used the St. Ives Apricot and the Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming one. I never had problems with either but figured the Neutrogena one would be more gentle, and I remembered it also had the cooling effect (it also contains Menthol) that the Clinique one has.
I haven't decided yet whether to return the Clinique scrub or to keep as an expensive foot scrub (sigh)

I don't know about You guys,but for me this was like puting my face on fire.It iritated my skin,caused redness all over my face,even made the capillares arround my nose more visible than usually.This has very thick texture,and it is so damn harsh.I think this is destroyer of oily but SENSITIVE skin like mine.I think I just pick the wrong 'guy',because I think this is good stuff for ladies who has 'thick' and resistable skin,actually,everything what my skin isn't.This was totally failure for my type of skin.So I gave it to my Mom after just one use,and she didn't like it as well,so I throw it away.Also,generouslly,I think all Clinique range is a way to synthetic,and that also my dermalogist confirmed to me.
P.S. I hate to be the one with rarelly negative review,but I have right for my own opinion,right? :P

Awesome scrub! It leaves a very cool feeling after your rinse. My skin feels very soft afterward, I am glad I bought this!

This is my HG scrub. Been using it for about 2 years, and it is the best thing that I have ever used. It makes me skin feel so smooth and soft, and always looks so clear and radiant after using this. I have dry skin, and this is recommended for stronger/oilier skins, but I find this the most effective thing for getting rid of my dry, patchy areas! Like most, I wish it was cheaper! But it lasts for ages, so I won't complain too much!
Age: 30-35

Love this product! Really polishes the skin.
Age: 25-29

This is the exfoliator I always come back to as it is just the most effective exfoliator I have used. This is good because the particles are not too round but are still uniform in nature, making it more effective. It gives you a good massage which also improves circulation with a minty tingle. A little goes a long way as it is concentrated and there is no cleanser element to this. It is a no-frills product which you will like if you dislike those round beads, which do not provide adequate exfoliating action for you. It provides just the right level of abrasion, but if you have thin, sensitive skin, this may be too much. I have resilient, oily skin and once a week is enough. The size of the beads are just right; not too rough like pulverized apricot/walnut shells which scratch rather than exfoliate and it not so little like some microdermabrasion products which hurt.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium

Fantastic product for somebody with oily and not too sensitive skin. It's really the best I've ever tried and I have had and tried a lot.
I only wish Clinique stopped putting so much menthol in this scrub. While it does feel refreshing in the summer time it only causes additional irritation to skin.
I have purchased it multiple times and will continue to do so.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Dry, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other

I absolutely love this scrub. After trying various other scrubs, this one has had the most effective results. My skin appeared brighter after one use! This is another excellent product from Clinique.

William Jewell College presents The Binns Lecture on the Sacred and Secular, and Power and Justice in Society, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 28 and 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, October 29, both in John Gano Memorial Chapel on the campus in Liberty, Mo. The public is invited to attend and no tickets or reservations are required.
Guest speaker for the event is Dr. Amy Jill Levine, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studies at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Levine's topic for the Tuesday lecture is "Understanding the Jewish Jesus" and for the Wednesday lecture is "The Women Who Followed Jesus."
In addition to the lectures, a panel discussion will take place Tuesday, October 28 at 3:30 p.m. in the White Science Center, room 107, on the Liberty campus. The topic will be What Kind of Jew Was the Apostle Paul? Jewell professor of religion Dr. Brad Chance will moderate the discussion; participants will be Dr. Levine and Dr. Mark Nanos, the Soebbing Visiting Scholar at Rockhurst University.
Dr. Levine has held office in the Society of Biblical Literature, the Catholic Biblical Association, and the Association for Jewish Studies. Her most recent publications include The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus, The Historical Jesus in Context, and the fourteen-volume series Feminist Companions to the New Testament and Early Christian Writings.
Dr. Levine holds a bachelor of arts degree from Smith College, a master of arts and a doctorate from Duke University, and an honorary Doctor of Ministry from the University of Richmond. She has been awarded grants from the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies.
A self-described "Yankee Jewish feminist who teaches in a predominantly Protestant divinity school in the buckle of the Bible Belt," Levine combines historical-critical rigor, literary-critical sensitivity, and a frequent dash of humor with a commitment to eliminating anti-Jewish, sexist, and homophobic theologies.
The presentation is part of the college's "Perspectives on the Common Good" lecture series, which incorporates the Walter Pope Binns Lectures. Dr. Binns served as president of William Jewell College from 1943 to 1962. A pastor, writer, counselor and educator, Dr. Binns epitomized the compatibility of intellectual curiosity and uncompromising Christian commitment. The lecture series was endowed in 1980 by the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation of Georgia to enhance intellectual inquiry within the Christian tradition at William Jewell. The lectureship brings to the campus annually an eminent scholar to share research and experience with students, faculty, staff and interested community members.
William Jewell College is committed to bringing together talented students and gifted faculty mentors within a vibrant community sparked by a rigorous and intentional liberal arts curriculum. A full range of personal and professional development experiences are presented by the selective national liberal arts college's location within the Kansas City metroplex of 1.5 million.

People hold signs and the national flags of Turkey and Syria during a protest against the twin bombings in Reyhanli. (File photo)
Turkish demonstrators have taken to the streets in the southern city of Reyhanli near the Syria border, to condemn recent deadly car bombings in the city, urging Turkey's prime minister to resign.
The protesters on Monday condemned the violence, noting that the outbreak of violence was due to the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan™s support for armed insurgents in Syria.
Saturday™s twin bombings left 46 people dead and dozens wounded in Reyhanli.
A similar demonstration was held in Ankara on Saturday, in which dozens of people marched in the street and chanted slogans criticizing Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
Turkey has accused Damascus of being behind the violence, but Syria has dismissed the claim.
Syria Information Minister Omran al-Zohbi told a news conference on Sunday that his country "did not commit and would never commit such an act because our values would not allow that."
He blamed Ankara for the Saturday bombings in Reyhanli as well as the ongoing unrest in Syria by facilitating the flow of arms, explosives, vehicles, militants and money across the border into the Arab country.
Turkey has been one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's harshest critics and has supported the foreign-backed militants fighting to topple his government.
Turkish opposition parties have censured the Turkish government for its intervention in Syria™s internal affairs.
Last July, the leader of the Republican People™s Party warned the government against dragging the country into the œMiddle Eastern quagmire" with its aggressive anti-Syria stance.

War of the Buttons
Set in occupied WWII France, War of the Buttons tells the tale of pre-teen rebel Lebrac (newcomer Jean Texier) and the "war" he leads between two rival kid gangs from neighboring villages. Once Lebrac falls for Violette (Ilona Bachelier), a young Jewish girl who is new in town and in danger of being exposed by the Nazis, the children are faced with putting their own conflicts aside to protect her and confront the very real war happening around them. Directed by Academy Award(R) nominee Christophe Barratier (Les Chorus) War of the Buttons features model/actress Laetitia Casta (Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life, Arbitrage), actor/filmmaker Guillaume Canet (Farewell, Tell No One) and Welcome to the Sticks star Kad Merad. The film is produced and co-written by Thomas Langmann (Academy Award(R) winner for The Artist).
Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
The slick filmmaking - the movie has a glossy, Hollywood-ready feel that sometimes tips into the cutesy - works against its themes.Rachel Saltz, New York Times, 10.11.2012
Corny ... a revisionist fantasy of French heroism.Jon Frosch, Village Voice, 10.09.2012
At a time when most family movies come processed through extreme software and 3-D glasses, this film's gentle vision of the simple life has its old-fashioned charms - though they press too hard on the emo buttons for my taste.Ella Taylor, NPR, 10.11.2012
It does not attempt to provide a complete or even vaguely realistic depiction of the rural French resistance in the endgame to World War II.Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle, 10.11.2012

The N'Ko alphabet was invented by Soulemayne Kante of Kankan, Guinea, in 1949. It is mainly used by speakers of Maninka, Bambara, Dyula and their dialects in Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire and Mali.
Soulemayne Kante was born in 1922. As a young man, he was angered when he read that some foreigners considered Africans cultureless since they didn't have an indigenous writing system. In response, he developed Nko to give African people their own alphabet to record their cultures and histories in their native languages. He wrote hundreds of educational materials in Maninka using the N'ko alphabet. His aim was to explain complex or foreign ideas to speakers of Maninka using their own language. He wrote introductory books on subjects as diverse as astrology, economics, history and religion. Many of his works are still available from l'Association ICRA-N'KO.
Publications in the N'Ko alphabet include the Qur'an, textbooks on various subjects, poetry, philisphical works, a dictionary and a number of local newspapers.
Maninka (Maninkakan), or Eastern Maninka, is a group of closely related languages and dialects belonging to the southeastern Manding subgroup of the Mande branch of the Niger-Congo languages. There are about 3.3 million Maninka speakers mainly in Guinea and Mali, and also in Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire. Maninka is closely related to Bambara.
Dioula (Julakan), a Mande language spoken by about 2.7 million people in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Mali. It is about known as Jula and Dyula and is closely related to Bambara. It is written with the Latin, Arabic and N'Ko alphabets.
Bambara (Bamanankan), a Mande language with about 3 million speakers in Mali, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Ghana.

Many people used Google to searched for information on hemorrhoids last year.
- Filed Under
People may not want to talk about their hemorrhoids in mixed company, but they're sure searching for information about them on the Web.
Last year's top trending health issue on Google was hemorrhoids, so the Food and Drug Administration addressed the uncomfortable problem in a recent article of Consumer Updates.
Let's not be squeamish: Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the lower part of the rectum or anus, and they affect 75 percent of people at some point in their lives, according to the National Institutes of Health. ...

After taking the Couture Dress class on craftsy, I bought a whole supply of the waxed dressmaker's tracing paper. It seemed like a life changing tool when I watched Susan Khalje use it, but at home I've realized that I will need a little practice. I don't plan to make an actual fully couture dress very often, but it seemed as though I could use this stuff for all kinds of sewing applications. I wondered if anyone had tips? Or maybe wants to share how you use it? Serrated wheel or smooth? Muslins only or on fashion fabric too? Which colors for what?
For example, I accidentally got some of the blue stuff on fashion fabric where it will show through. Yikes! It doesn't really want to come out....
You do have to test that the color will not show through to your fashion fabric. Like a white fabric for instance.
I have had to watch that I don't get color on my sleeves - Like Susan mentioned, not a good idea to wear white top
I weigh it down on all 4 corners for tracing. At this point, I have only used it on muslin. Many years ago I used to use it on fashion fabric to trace darts.
Some stuff out of my past....hmmm. I've always used a serrated edge tracing wheel and don't select a color too dark from the main color of my fabric. In other words, no blue tracing paper on a white dress;try yellow.
I've used it for darts, collar changes, hems, pocket placement--just about anything.
To get it out, I've used Gonzo.

My blog: http://auntmaymesattic.wordpress.com/
I've been using it since the sixties with a serrated wheel they sell at the dollar stores.
I purchased during Susan's course and it really is handy. A great way to use and store is I purchased from my local Michael's Crafts a foam core board which is scored in the centre. I taped the large shhet on the board when I am done marking I just fold in half and put away.
------Scheri Manson
Edmonton, AB CANADA
How big are the sheets of tracing paper? I've had problems with shifting the pattern askew when moving the paper from place to place. Any suggests? The foam core idea sounds interesting ..
I guess you place the tracing paper up, then layer on fabric, pattern, tracing wheel? Where Did you all purchase the tracing paper? I purchased some at Joann's, but had trouble getting it to transfer to the fabric no matter how hard I push.
It seems it's always been in my sewing stuff and something I've used quite a bit for all manner of things, much like Miss Fairchild. I still have my original stuff that was probably bought in the early 80's and only recently decided to upgrade as it was so worn. it was in strips approx. 4 inches wide and 1.5 feet long. I used to use mine with a spikey tracing wheel - that was all I had and all that was available to me at the time - you can imagine the mess that has made of it, a million perforations. A couple of years ago it was brought to my attention that there are actually tracing wheels that have blunt serrated wheels, so now I've got the clover double one, which means you can mark the seam and sa in one go (although you have to be careful to hold it straight up). I bought some clover tracing paper - the marks are so hard to see, so I didn't think much of it. It was also in sheets approx. A4 size - I cut them down the middle to get strips which are easier to manipulate. I read on here that Seral paper is good (but that's chalk) and I bought a couple of rolls of that on ebay but haven't used them yet. I did do a test and it seems to transfer well.
If I'm marking doubled up fabric I try to put pins in such a way that there is space to slide the paper in to where I need it, both between the fabric layers and the pattern and fabric so that I'm marking both at the same time and don't need to bother moving pins around.
As for removing it, I've really only used it on dark or light but fairly thick fabric and have had no problems with it washing out ....... yet.
------Brother BM-2600

I have also bought the stuff from Clover and found it annoying to use Because of the small size and faint marks. This stuff is in very large sheets and will accommodate an entire pattern piece. This way, you can trace the pattern and all your markings without cutting the tissue. Susan Khalje showed us how to cut the piece roughly around the tissue, place it on the waxed paper and mark one side. Then you remove the tissue, flip the unit over and trace over your first marks to mark the other side quickly and accurately. She used it for muslins and underlining, but I think with some care I should be able to do this for fashion fabric in regular sewing that won't get the whole underlining, lining treatment. Obviously. You mark up quite a lot of the muslin. I also think that with the double tracing wheel, it would be helpful for those Japanese or euro patterns that don't include seam allowances.
I'm having some luck getting the lie marks out with oxy clean. Clearly I will have to be more careful of this!
The only place to buy the dress makers waxed paper online is Richard the Thread. You must spend $35 before they ship, which means 9 sheets of paper. It's probably a lifetime supply, so if you're in Philly and just want one piece,I could share. I did read on the Oliver and S forum that Liesl may soon carry it in their online shop by the single sheet.
I think the foam core idea is a great one. I've been laying it on my cutting mat and weighing the corners down with whatever I had lying around.
This type of pattern tracing sounds like a lot of trouble. I taught my sewing students to use newsprint, or tissue or tracing paper, over the pattern, after the pattern is taped to a large window, such as a sliding glass door.
When I use my paper, I fold it with the marking side out, and lay it between the wrong sides of my fabric, so that the marks will be made on the wrong side. Then I lay my pattern on top, and use the wheel to trace. -- Edited on 5/1/12 5:15 PM --
Seriously, is there any way to get this stuff out? After taking Susan Kaljie's class I have been marking everything with waxed tracing paper and it's been great; that is until I tried to get the marks out! One of the skirts I made is unwearable because of it. I've tried oxyclean and some other things but nothing has worked. Is there any hope?

France jails three for Syria jihad planComment on this story
Paris - Three young men were convicted and handed prison sentences Friday for trying to travel to Syria, a magnet for foreign fighters, even though they never left France.
The convictions by a Paris court were thought to be the first in France of potential jihadi fighters for Syria. The prison sentences show that justice intends to be tough on the scores of young French Muslims drawn to the Syrian civil war - even if they never make it to their destination.
The court handed down prison terms ranging from two to five years for criminal association with the intent to commit terrorist acts, a sweeping charge used in France to cast a wide net in terror cases.
French authorities, like their counterparts elsewhere in Europe, are deeply concerned about the attraction the three-year war exerts on western Muslims. They fear a potential threat from returning fighters, fully radicalized and with battle-honed skills.
Even young French adolescents have made their way to Syria, or tried to go. A 14-year-old girl was stopped last week before boarding her flight to Turkey, the common route to Syria, according to the prosecutor's office in Grenoble, her hometown.
French authorities have said that more than 600 French had left for Syria, were plotting to go or have returned. More than 20
French have been killed in the fighting.
"This is a message being sent to all people tempted by similar adventures," attorney Julien Fresnault said of the verdict. The court was "anticipating a danger, but there are no (terrorist) acts" in the case. His client, Youssef Ettaoujar, 26, received a five-year prison term with one year suspended - the toughest sentence of the three.
The three men, aged between 21 and 26, were arrested in 2012 as they tried to board a plane for Turkey. They contended during their February trial that their objective was humanitarian, not fighting battles.
