Will Rousseff and Brazil's other leaders summon up the will to truly stand up for women's rights? Will they tackle one of the true solutions to high maternal mortality: decriminalization of abortion and measures that could effectively reduce deaths related to unsafe abortions?

A new law passed in the dead of night by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff violates all women's right to privacy by creating compulsory registration to control and monitor her reproductive life.

2010 was a benchmark year for the debate around abortion legalization in Brazil. For the first time, we saw debates during a Presidential election being mostly guided by religious beliefs around sexual and reproductive rights.

I love Mad World so much! I was thinking like two minutes ago that I wanted to listen to it, but wanted to stay on Newgrounds and I didn't think it would be on here! This is really, really good, not quite as good as the original, I think that was good because it was so slow and the Rock genre doesn't really allow that, but very good try 10/10 5/5 favorite!

This news story reminded me of an old post, so I decided to "resurrect" the old post for current consumption:
Celestial Competition:
This story seems to be making the rounds on the net (again – it first surfaced a few months ago, though I somehow missed it then).
The football committee of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which governs high school sports, is adopting a "score management" policy that will suspend coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points.
This reminded me of two experiences in High School (one of which was a major life lesson to me), and got me thinking about the uses and abuses of competition. Continue reading

Im having a really annoying problem with the bike set up at the moment. Shifting up through the rear cassette is not as it should be, it sticks in gear or jumps two at a time. Shifting down through the gears is OK. Happens regardless of the chain ring.
Its under warranty but I like to be able to fix things myself and it might not be more than wear and tear. Past experiences have not been great with the lbs they tried to replace the BB when all they needed to do was grease the pedals/crank that they had just fitted!
Do you think its an adjustment thing, bent hanger worn parts?
And sorry - I know shifting has been done to death but I cant find anything that matches this.
The bike:
Trek SU600 new in September last year
It does about 100 road miles a week and has probably clocked up about 1500+ miles since new.
That model has an SRAM 9 speed cassette with an XT derailleur. Shimano chain but I swapped early on to an SRAM hollow pin.
Bike is cleaned weekly and re-lubed with finish line Teflon dry lube
The Problem:
Bike in the stand starting with smallest cog and largest ring
Will shift progressively 9-1 through the cassette without missing. (obviously thats not a usual sequence but the same happens if shifting 9-4)
First up shift and the derailleur will visibly moved but not change gear. Usually get a bit of chatter.
Second up shift will now move up one gear.
Third up shift will move up one gear. And so on
Shift from 7 to 8 will jump straight to 9th gear.
Shift back down is OK.
On the Road, its bugging me big time, I like to work up through the gear but I keep having to shift up two down one in order to select the desired gear. With hindsight this might have been getting worse since it was new not sure. Occasionally it would seem that a change up was almost non existent, I just put it down to my supper smooth technique. ahem
Tried So Far:
Cleaned and lubed
Checked derailleur for sticking and free running movement no problems
Checked cable for binding no problems
Derailleur spring looks OK. But thats just a visual check
Changed chain in November to hollow pin Sram
Tweaked the micro adjusters
Reset derailleur.
Tweaked micro adjusters worked through the range ¼ turn at a time.
Changed back to original chain (only few hundred miles old) no change
The cassette looks OK / teeth dont looked hooked and the problem happens across the range even on gears that are lightly used.
The bikes never been dropped or crashed and everything looks straight. But thats eyeball only.

Untitled 993 by JohnPeriWatch

I think the gym socks really work to enhance this image - her legs are already long, so the socks are more of an enhancement for them. If she were standing straight, legs slightly apart and backside facing, we could see how much this is so. Awesome work as always, John! Very sporting feel with her knickers and tank top, but glamorous in high-heels.
Thank you my friend, and I do have a couple of images such as you describe them, maybe I'll get around to posting one later ..
I figured you would - I can't imagine a photoshoot where a model is dressed in leggings (long socks, thigh-high leggings, nylons/stockings) and such a powerful pose isn't taken. I look forward to it!
Très beau, très Glam, ces bas en laine donne toujours un coté très glamour aux photo
Wow I've never seen the soccer socks go that high. I've wore alot of them and seen them on soccer players. That is awesome soccer socks. She looks like shes not into soccer though more of a volleyball or swimming girl.
This a gym socs, not soccer, though I would really prefer to discuss the merits or absence of them of the photography .. : -)
fantastic attitude
Hands down John, those are the funniest, and sexiest socks I have ever seen. The entire picture comes over so casual and calm as well, awesome shot!

WASHINGTON — In her first weeks as Federal Reserve chair, Janet Yellen has made one thing clear: The Fed will keep all options open in deciding when to raise interest rates from record lows.
Gone are the benchmarks that her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, used to try to guide investors: That by a certain point in the future or when unemployment reached a specific rate, the Fed would consider slowing its stimulus for the economy.
In a speech this month, Yellen said the Fed "must respond to significant unexpected twists and turns the economy may take."
On Wednesday, when it ends a policy meeting, the Fed will likely repeat that theme and echo a point it made after Yellen's first meeting as chair last month: That even after the job market strengthens and the Fed starts raising rates, it will likely keep rates unusually low to support a still-subpar economy.
Yellen's message of flexibility may help convey the Fed's willingness to respond to abrupt shifts in the economy. Yet it can also be tricky. It can leave investors uncertain and fearful of a sudden shift in the Fed's approach to interest rates. Financial markets hate uncertainty.
The Fed will be meeting in a week when the government will issue a flurry of reports on the economy — from manufacturing growth and consumer spending to home prices, consumer confidence, economic expansion and job gains.
Collectively, they will help sketch a more detailed portrait of the economy.
And they are among the many indicators Yellen has stressed that the Fed must monitor to fully assess the economy's health and decide when to start raising rates.
"I think the Fed is going to stay the course," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. "No news is good news at this stage."

"Manacor, the Pearl Capital" Manacor by Tolik
Manacor Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 11 photos
Manacor is a big industrial town in the Sierra de Levant (eastern Mallorca) well known due to its pearl factory.
Visit to the factory is free and takes 0.5 hour or so. Much more time you will probably spend in their huge store across the street. It makes sense to came here if you want to see how the pearls are produced but I would not recommend to buy the pearls here – in Palma you'll find better price.
First thing you notice when you enter the town from Port Torrent is a magnificent old mill. A few minutes later you arrive to the Perlas Majorca. Don't limit yourself to the pearl factory. Besides the man-made pearls, there is a marvelous place called Olive Art Exposition , where you'll find tons of amazing articles – all made from the olive wood. There are a few buildings in the Old Town worth a visit – the church of Nostra Senyora Verge dels Dolores, the convent of Sant Vicenc Ferrer and the remains of the King Jaume II Royal Palace. It looks like the local tourist industry expects you to arrive here in the morning – the Tourist Information office and most of the sites are closed after 1PM.

I've got a lot of true/false results saved as bits in
long[] arrays. I do have a huge number of these (millions and millions of longs).
For example, say I have only five results, I'd have:
+----- condition 5 is true
|+---- condition 4 is false
||+--- condition 3 is true
|||+-- condition 2 is true
||||+- condition 1 is false
I also do have a few trees representing statements like:
condition1 AND (condition2 OR (condition3 AND condition 4))
The trees are very simple but very long. They basically look like this (it's an oversimplification below, just to show what I've got):
class Node {
int operator();
List<Node> nodes;
int conditionNumber();
Basically either the Node is a leaf and then has a condition number (matching one of the bit in the long[] arrays) or the Node is not a leaf and hence refers several subnodes.
They're simple yet they allow to express complicated boolean expressions. It works great.
So far so good, everything is working great. However I do have a problem: I need to evaluate a LOT of expressions, determining if they're true or false. Basically I need to do some brute-force computation for a problem for which there's no know better solution than brute-forcing.
So I need to walk the tree and answer either
true or
false depending on the content of the tree and the content of the
The method I need to optimize looks like this:
boolean solve( Node node, long[] trueorfalse ) {
where on the first call the
node is the root node and then, obviously, subnodes (being recursive, that
solve method calls itself).
Knowing that I'll only have a few trees (maybe up to a hundred or so) but millions and millions of
long[] to check, what steps can I take to optimize this?
The obvious recursive solution passes parameters (the (sub)tree and the long[], I could get rid of the
long[] by not passing it as a parameter) and is quite slow with all the recursive calls etc. I need to check which operator is used (AND or OR or NOT etc.) and there's quite a lot of if/else or switch statements involved.
I'm not looking for another algorithm (there aren't) so I'm not looking for going from O(x) to O(y) where y would be smaller than x.
What I'm looking for is "times x" speedup: if I can write code performing 5x faster, then I'll have a 5x speedup and that's it and I'd be very happy with it.
The only enhancement I see as of now --and I think it would be a huge "times x" speedup compared to what I have now-- would be to generate bytecode for every tree and have the logic for every tree hardcoded into a class. It should work well because I'll only ever have a hundred or so trees (but the trees aren't fixed: I cannot know in advance how the trees are going to look like, otherwise it would be trivial to simply hardcode manually every tree).
Any idea besides generating bytecode for every tree?
Now if I want to try the bytecode generation route, how should I go about it?

Today's quote from A GLASTONBURY ROMANCE (1933) by John Cowper Powys —
"The best time for any human being to pray to the First Cause if he wants his prayers to have a prosperous issue is one or other of the Two Twilights; either the twilight preceding the dawn or the twilight following the sunset. Human prayers that are offered up at noon are often intercepted by the Sun — for all creative powers are jealous of one another — and those that are offered up at midnight are liable to be waylaid by the Moon in her seasons or by the spirit of some thwarting planet. It is a natural fact that those Two Twilights are propitious to psychic intercourse with the First Cause while other hours are malignant and baleful."
I am currently re-reading this massive novel, one that had its First Cause for me when I first read it in 1975.
I hope further quotes will follow in comments below.

Very nice take on this superpowered girl.....lucky friend!!!

I'm a huge fan of the thick, cartoonish lines you used to ink and I just love the way you kept her spunky personality in this. I'm not a HUGE Powergirl fan, but I do like this piece because of how well-shaded and well drawn it is.
Love the colors! Your style seems to suit PG pretty well.
Very cute version of PG!

I so wanted this to work for me. I currently wear Estee Lauder Double Wear and I love it, so far it's my HG foundation, but as a stay-at-home mom I hate wearing an expensive foundation when just running errands around town or taking my daughter to the park, not if something halfway decent can be had on the cheap. I decided to give this foundation a whirl after reading the many good reviews here. Here's my take on it:
Packaging - Small plastic squeeze tube. A lot of other ladies complain about it being messy, runny and difficult to control the amount of product that came out of the tube. Maybe I was lucky but I didn't have this issue the one time I applied it. I took just a little care and managed to get out only as much as I needed.
Application: Easy enough, though a little harder to blend than ELDW. I stippled it on with a dedicated stippling brush, as I do with all foundations...I find it always gives me a smoother more even finish.
Smell: Too perfumey! Normally I can deal with this but the smell stuck around for like an hour after application and got quite irritating.
Color: I got 102 Warm Ivory which was a fairly good match for my skin. I'm still somewhat tanned from my summertime at the pool so the fact the second to palest color in the line fit me is ludicrous. Definitely not enough selection...my very pale sister was SOL getting a light enough choice from this line. Strange, considering Rimmel is a British brand and let me tell you, they are some pale people lol.
Finish: Immediately after application moisturized skin I noticed that the finish was not as flattering to my skin as ELDW. It seemed to accentuate the drier spots on my cheeks, my oily t-zone was more apparent than usual, and it didn't even out the texture of my skin. It made my smile creases evident right away, though I always apply foundation very sparingly in this area. It's definitely not as full a coverage as ELDW either. For its price I could have overlooked all this for a casual foundation, however, within 2.5 hours my t-zone was an unsightly, separated mess. It also didn't want to play nice with the two tiny spots of concealer I'd used to cover two red areas from a recently healed hormonal breakout, as it looked like the concealer had disappeared altogether.
This was a no-go for me - I immediately returned it. The search continues....

I have a super hard time finding a foundation that will work when I need it. I bought this after all the reviews on mua and YouTube and am SO disappointed! The color (100) was NOT ivory, although I can make it passable with other products. It goes on pretty decent with my fingers, but is almost oily without setting powder. Even with powder, it doesn't last more than 2 hours without touchups. Then it takes 2 washes to get it off! Had it on 5 hours again today and I feel like I have crisco on my face. sorry ya'll but I just don't get the good reviews!

Not sure if its long lasting or not. Bought their lightest shade and it was MILES darker than any other brand on the markets' ivory. Seemed to geared towards mediterranean complexions.

This foundation is just brilliant!!!! Literally doesn't budge but also doesn't look thick or cakey!! Absolutely love it!! I use the number 100 for natural day time look and when I've no tan on, and number 200 for night time or to blend in when I have tan on!! Amazing stuff!! :)

Oh dear, why do make up companies have the nerve to always change their formula's when it was already wonderful to start out with. I remember the good old days when this came in a tiny tube but wow it was amazing then. Outwitted my expensive MAC and Estee Lauder foundation. Now however they changed the bottle, formula and entire color shade spectrum. The first I purchased the new formula I was totes optimistic, thinking it would be the same awesome foundation just in a new bottle version which I was thrilled about. However when I put the ivory shade on my face I knew.... I just knew that I have been so wrong. My face was a awful AWFUL pale white. I've never seen my face that white before despite it having the exact shade name that I used before, when they still had the old formula. I was disgusted but had to stick it out because I'm too poor to just go running off to buy a new foundation. For weeks I had to endure my pale face. The consistency of the new formula was also a much thicker, harder to work with mess. I can't use my fingers to apply this AT ALL. I need a sponge. Lasting power was wonderful however, but it like I said, my face was a pale white shade and that couldn't be fixed by applying it right.
I recently got money again and decided to try this just one more time in their sand beige color. What could go wrong?! I mean, sand beige is usually my color anyway and perhaps my face would look better with the right shade and the thick consistency wouldn't be such a big deal anymore. BIG MISTAKES. My face was dark, orange and HIDEOUS looking after application. This color was waaaay too dark! I was so upset. I felt let down. Sand beige has NEVER looked too dark on my skin, regardless of the brand. It always seemed to match well. I was so disappointed. My favorite foundation has officially gone RIP cause they seemed to have changed the color range and now it's so messed up. I highly doubt that mixing the two colors would fix the problem since the one is way too dark and the other way too light. I would probably end up looking even worse (if that's possible) with the two mixed. So sad cause this was the ultimate HG foundation for me. Oh well... now to try and find something else :(

I have two tubes of this foundation! It's great! It lasts all day in heat, humidity, this is my go to along with revlon color stay for a long wearing foundation. However I wish it did offer more coverage.

I am on my second tube of this and the first has lasted me for a long time. It gives a medium to full coverage and I love the fact it's a squeeze tube instead of those pumpless, glass jar foundations you find so often in the drugstore. It is super affordable and I would prefer this over the Revlon Colorstay.
Like most of Rimmel foundations, it has a really nice scent that I enjoy. It's more affordable than some other drugstore foundations (Revlon Colorstay is $21 here in Canada and the Rimmel one costs $8.99. Think I got it on sale for $5.99 or $6.99). It is very easy to blend in to the skin and it literally lasts all freaking day. The longest I had it on for, sad to say, was almost 12 hours and it looked the same as when I applied it earlier that day. It isn't exactly a mattifying foundation so I use a powder after I apply it and I don't need to blot until the 5th or 6th hour.
Overall, it's one of my favourite foundations and I would definitely continue re-purchasing.

I tried this out after struggling to find a makeup that is the correct color, goes on smoothly, covers well and doesn't break me out.
I liked:
Price cannot be beaten
Color was perfect-warm ivory
Application was effortless and it looked instantly flawless
Covers very well
Feels light
I didn't like the super-shiny look and after a few hours, my skin was so irritated because of how oily my face had gotten! Will try it with a super-absorbent powder as this foundation is too good to give up without a fight!
UPDATE:used oil absorbing powder and that has helped reduce the oil. Has not broken me out yet. Very happy with this foundation!

I love this product! It works perfectly if you like medium to full coverage. In the winter time I use 100 and decided to get some color in me this summer so I was at a 202. A little goes a long with this product. it's smooth, the first two colors are a little ivory, but the rest are quite beigey and yellowy. You don't need a whole lot to use, just finish it off with powder. It does get cakey if you keep building it. I've got extremely oily skin, so this somewhat helps. I'm only oily if I'm not hydrated enough, which seems to be all of the time because I'm lazy. Overall, great product, and I'll continue to have it on hand!

On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda as it's known locally) wreaked havoc across much of the central Philippines. More than 5,000 people were killed and 4 million were forced from their homes.
In the short term, it left more than 14.1 million people in need of immediate, life-saving assistance. But it also pushed millions of people further into poverty. Rice crops, coconut trees and fishing boats were wiped out, leaving people struggling to grow food and earn an income.
The emergency phase of our Haiyan response has finished. We're now focussing on long term recovery and rehabilitation. One way we're doing this is by planning how water and sanitation facilities will be managed on a permanent basis. We're also looking at how people will be able to earn a living.
Typhoon Koppu struck the Philippines on 18 October 2015, making landfall in the north eastern province of Aurora, pummelling the coastal community of more than 200,000 people with wind gusts of 195km/h.
The Philippines Government has evacuated parts of the country at risk from the Typhoon, known locally as Lando, which as well as packing powerful winds is expected to sit semi-stationary above the country for up to three days, creating intense rainfall and potentially causing devastating flooding and tsunami like storm surges in coastal areas.
Oxfam is ready to dispatch rapid assessment teams to survey the damage left in its path, and assess and respond to the greatest needs if the Philippines Government requests international assistance.

The average Distribution Center Operations Supervisor in the United States can expect to rake in roughly $50K per year. In the world of Distribution Center Operations Supervisors, total cash compensation can vary between $36K and $64K. Each package generally includes bonuses and profit sharing proceeds, and in exceptional cases, those amounts can reach heights of $6K and $6K, respectively. Location and career duration each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Generally, women make up less than a third of all Distribution Center Operations Supervisors who answered the questionnnaire. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and most earn dental coverage. Work is reasonably fulfilling for most Distribution Center Operations Supervisors — the majority report average levels of job satisfaction. The information for this rundown comes from respondents who completed PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Distribution center (DC) operations supervisors are employed primarily by retail companies. A high school diploma or GED is required for this position, and some employers require a bachelor's degree. Almost all employers will also require applicants to have at least a few years of experience in a managerial position, and familiarity with data-processing software and the Microsoft Office suite of products is highly beneficial.Read More...
Those in this position will often work on the floor, so a great deal of walking may be involved. The main responsibility of a distribution center operations supervisor is to maintain good workflow and ensure that employees are motivated and efficient; they communicate often with other employees, so strong communication skills are very important. They also provide feedback and teach employees about new methods, strategies, and policies. They must always aim to improve efficiency and quality of the work by identifying what should be changed or modified in the workplace and implementing plans for improvement.
Those in this position work with employees from multiple departments, such as shipping and stocking, and may be partially responsible for training and hiring new employees, as well.
Distribution Center Operations Supervisors report using a wide range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Inventory Control, Operations Management, Inventory Management, and Document Review and Distribution are correlated to pay that is above average. Those listing Office Administration as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Office Management and Document Review and Distribution also typically command lower compensation. Most people who know Inventory Management also know Inventory Control.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Relatively untried employees who have fewer than five years of experience earn around $46K on average. People who have worked for five to 10 years can expect a higher median salary of $48K. Distribution Center Operations Supervisors who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $55K. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $56K on average.

Following Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz's visit to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Energy Department today announced the unveiling of a one-of-its-kind national secure data center dedicated to the independent analysis of advanced hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at the Energy Department's Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) located at NREL in Golden, Colorado.
Fuel cells are an emerging technology that can provide heat and electricity for buildings and electrical power for vehicles and electronic devices.
Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed, produces only water. Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic sources, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable power. These qualities make it an attractive fuel option for transportation and electricity generation applications.
In support of the Obama Administration's all-of-the-above strategy to develop clean, domestic energy sources, the Energy Department today announced a $4.5 million investment in two projects—led by Minnesota-based 3M and the Colorado School of Mines—to lower the cost, improve the durability, and increase the efficiency of next-generation fuel cell systems.
Test your fuel cell knowledge with these little-known facts.
The Energy Department launched H2USA -- a new public-private partnership focused on advancing hydrogen infrastructure to support more transportation energy options for U.S. consumers, including fuel cell electric vehicles.
Learn how fuel cell technologies are vital to our nation's future energy and transportation economies.
Meet Brian Larsen, who is helping lower fuel cell costs by developing the next generation of fuel cell catalysts.

Wizard Staff
this wiki
A Wizard's Staff (pl. staves) is the primary weapon of the Order of Wizard and serves as a symbol of their power. There are only a few known times where a Wizard's staff has been broken. Gandalf the Grey's second staff was lost during his fight with the Balrog known as Durin's Bane when he smote the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, though he would later have another one as Gandalf the White. After his defeat at the hands of the Ents of Fangorn forest, Saruman's staff was broken by Gandalf due to his treachery against Middle-earth.
Wizard StavesEdit
Gandalf the Grey/WhiteEdit
Gandalf the Grey's Staff of Power served as a walking stick, symbol, and a weapon. The staff of Gandalf the Grey was made of brown wood with a jewel fixed at the top which would light up at his command. He used this staff throughout The Hobbit, The Quest of Erebor, the War of the Ring, and The Fellowship of the Ring. When Gandalf led the Fellowship into Moria they encountered Durin's Bane, a Balrog of Morgoth. To save the rest of the Fellowship the Grey Wizard fought with the ancient demon using his magic abilities and sword skills. Gandalf reached the Bridge of Khazad-dûm but realized it was time to face his destiny, which is hinted at throughout the book. When he struck the Bridge his staff broke asunder and disappeared into the darkness. The force of Gandalf's magic caused the bridge to crumble away at his feet, bringing the Balrog down with it. Gandalf also fell, as Durin's Bane wrapped its fiery whip around his ankle, pulling him into the darkness along with Glamdring and his staff, the latter of which was never seen again. Gandalf returned as the White Wizard, and head of the order of Wizards. Gandalf's power and wisdom were greatly increased, allowing him to more directly aid Middle-earth in its time of need. With the Flame of Anor at his command, he was able to assist his companions once more. His new abilities allowed him to overthrow Saruman and rival Sauron in power. As Gandalf the White he possessed a rough staff of ash, presumably white in colour. According to Daniel L. Cassens, professor and wood products specialist for Purdue University's Extension service, ash sapwood is white, while heartwood is light brown and sometimes marked with white spots or dark lines.
Saruman the White/Of Many ColoursEdit
Saruman the White's Staff of Power has been held by The White Wizard ever since he became a member of the Wizards. His staff is described as being black in the book but is rarely ever used. After the Battle of the Hornburg Gandalf the White and his companions made their way to Isengard. Once there Gandalf broke the staff of Saruman due his treachery against middle earth and the crown fell at Gandalf's feet.
Radagast the BrownEdit
The origin of Radagast's staff is unknown, however his staff is most probably forged of oak given the fact that he lives in Rhosgobel.
Blue Wizards (Pallando and Alatar)Edit
Little is known of the two blue wizards and even less is known of their staffs. Presumably their staffs were made of rough wood with a crystal embedded into the crown. The only mention ever given to the staff's of Radagast and the Blue Wizards is in The Two Towers when Saruman mentions "the rods of the five wizards". It is unknown whether any of these staffs were in Sarumans keeping to use at a later stage, for example in the Scouring of the Shire as Gandalf is still worried that Saruman holds tremendous power. It is possible that they were used for dark purposes as it is stated in The Silmarillion that the fate of the Blue Wizards is unknown and that it is possible that they failed in their mission and fell into darkness, along with their staves as Maiar were not immune from temptation. The staffs could also have been destroyed so no wizard could match Saruman's magic, but as there is no hard proof this is all but speculation.
Portrayal in AdaptationsEdit
The Complete Saga by Peter Jackson: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit TrilogyEdit
Gandalf, to date is seen with five different variations of his staff, three of those as the Grey wizard. Gandalf's staff in The Hobbit Films has been described by the Weta Workshop team as an "opening flower"; and is of elven design, he is seen to ignite it to light pine cones and to illuminate the Fells of Rhudaur, this staff is destroyed by the Necromancer in Dol Guldur after Gandalf attempted to defend himself from Sauron's black magic. The crown of Gandalf's staff in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is very similar to the staff of Gandalf the White when one looks at the crown embedded in the staff. After his staff is destroyed by Sauron, he then acquires the staff of Radagast the Brown which he uses in the Battle of the Five Armies. Whilst attempting to use the staff against a troll Gandalf runs into complications when the crystal inserted in the top of the staff fails to respond to his magical incantation. Gandalf then dodges the trolls attacks and attempts a Staff Strike which also fails to have any affect. Gandalf, eventually, harnesses the power of the staff without the crystal as he is seen to attack Saruman in the Wizards Duel at Orthanc. Later on, the staff is damaged in the Battle of the Five Armies, and the root like structure on the crown of the staff is completely withered away leaving Gandalf with the staff seen in The Fellowship of the Ring.
He uses this broken down version of Radagast's staff, which holds his pipe and nail (pipe tamper), for much of The Fellowship of the Ring until Saruman confiscates it at The Wizard's Duel at Orthanc. Elrond then gives him another rough wooden staff in Imladris which could hold an illuminating crystal which would get bright or dimmer on command. Unlike in the book, this staff does not break when Gandalf uses it to destroy the Bridge of Khazad-dum during his battle against the Balrog in the film. However, Gandalf still loses this staff when the monster drags him into the abyss. The staff of Gandalf the White is of elvish design, with a pyramidal structure and elven arches which create a hollow similar to Gandalf's original staff. This staff was given to him by Galadriel in Lothlorien and enhanced his powers upon his return. Gandalf's staff holds enormous power, which you see very little of in the films. Gandalf's white staff was broken when he fought the Witch-king atop one of the Minas Tirith walls when he attempted to deflect a flaming attack from the Lord of the Nazgûl's sword. However, Gandalf is later seen holding the staff again at the Grey Havens but it is considerably longer than the staff seen previously.
Saruman's staff is black and metallic in Jackson's films but appears white at times, depending on the angle of the light. The head of the staff, which resembles the Tower of Orthanc, holds some sort of large, white jewel and holds the power of the staff. Saruman uses his staff to battle with the shades of the Nazgul in Dol Guldur, deflecting there attacks. The orb in his staff is seen to glow white whilst Saruman attacks the Nazgul showing his power and magical skill. Saruman's staff was used to "bring down the mountain" of Caradhras onto the Fellowship in The Fellowship of the Ring. In The Return of the King Extended Edition, Saruman's again uses his staff to send a jet of fire down on Gandalf the White, for this his staff is broken by Gandalf's power and splinters into pieces in his hand, a large explosion is heard echoing in the distance showing the force of Saruman's banishment.
Radagast's staff is fashioned from an upturned sapling and fits perfectly to his rustic personality. He uses his staff to battle The Witch King and to help the forests of Middle Earth blossom. The blue crystal embedded in the crown has magical healing powers which are able to heal the sick. Radagast gives his staff to Gandalf the Grey to help him regain his strength and to enable him to fight in the Battle of the Five Armies.
Bloopers Edit
In The Hobbit the Battle of the Five Armies, Gandalf is seen holding various different staffs at different times. In the clip "I'm not asking you to allow it" Gandalf is seen holding a broken down version of Radagast's staff, then his staff from The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey, then a completely undamaged version of Radagast's staff. This discontinuity is due to the splitting of the Battle of the Five Armies into two separate films, hence certain scenes had to be re filmed. The first staff is seen, in the YouTube link given above, from 0:00 - 0:14, the second staff is seen from 0:14 -0:15 and the third and final staff used for the rest of the scene is seen from 0:18 - 0:49.
Another mistake can been seen in the promotional poster for the battle of the five armies, where you can see the crown Radagast's staff and Gandalf's staff from The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey merged into one creating a bulbous, messy looking staff.
In The Return of the King, Gandalf is seen to attack Denethor with his staff, after he delivers the final blow, smashing the end of the staff into Denethor's back, a shard is seen to spiral off, for a split second you then see the crown of Gandalf's staff hollowed out with part of the triangular structure completely snapped off. The precise moment of the blooper is at 3:03 in the YouTube video, given in the link above.
Video Games Edit
In The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, the Mouth of Sauron's primary weapon, rather than being a long, black sword, is Saruman's staff. It is unknown whether he received this staff from Sauron as a reward or had a copy created for him with the same power, but maybe, it has been given by Sauron to him as he is the new Master of Isengard as it can be seen in the novel as in the Proposal of Sauron as "Isengard will be given to Sauron and there will be a new Master of Isengard". It is likely however that this is simply a mistake made by the game makers as Gandalf became head of the Wizards and therefore the new Master of Isengard. It is probable that the staff was given to the Mouth of Sauron to give him wizard like abilities simply for the purpose of the game.
In The Hobbit, Gandalf the Grey is not a playable character but you are able to play along side him, his staff is shaped like a shepherds staff and allows him to defeat foes quickly and easily.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf the Grey is a playable character and has a crooked squared off staff which allows him to heal himself and sent jets of fire and lightning to damage enemy health. He also has the power of "staff strike" which creates a blast of energy in a circle around Gandalf to protect him from a variety of foes at once.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White are not playable characters. They have the same staffs that Gandalf has in the movies and demonstrate various abilities. As the Grey Wizard, Gandalf is only able to use his staff for fierce attacks and demonstrates no magical abilities, as the White Wizard however Gandalf is shown using his abilities in cut scenes such as when he states that "we must save everyone that we can, or this village will fall" where he is seen to strike his staff upon the ground destroying many foes. The White wizard from then after assists the player with defeating enemies, and breaking through doors which the players cannot access without Gandalf's help. Both the shock waves and projectiles generated from the staff appear to be lightning based. Saruman the White is also present in the game in the bonus level "Tower of Orthanc", where he uses his staff to call enemies to defeat the player, he then uses his staff to blast back the player as they attempt to run towards him.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Gandalf the White is a playable character and is able to use his abilities to send bolts of energy towards enemies, bring his staff down knocking enemies off their feet, and create a magical shield to temporarily protect himself from enemy damage. Gandalf can build on these abilities, making them stronger and stronger until his abilities are strong enough to defeat his enemies in one swift attack.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, Gandalf the Grey and White are both playable characters with slightly different abilities. Gandalf the Grey has the power to drain AP from the Balrog of Morgoth so he has the power to facilitate lightning bolt attacks. As the White Wizard he acquires another skill which attacks the Witch King more directly. It is worth noting that after Gandalf's battle with the Witch King his staff is still intact.
In LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game, Lego incarnations of Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Saruman, and Radagast are all shown wielding staves. These allow them to magically assemble Lego structures when in use, as opposed to the hand-building techniques of other characters. The staves also serve to light up dark areas in similar fashion to the Phial of Galadriel. Unlike in the films, Gandalf is shown to have regained his staff after falling from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, and uses it to ascend to his final confrontation with the Balrog. In the version of the Lego game made for iPad, iPhone and iPod technology Gandalf the White and Saruman have the same staves they have in the film rather than being equipped with their lego counterparts. Radagast's staff is also markedly different from his lego staff as is Gandalf the Grey's however they look nothing like the staffs used in the movies. Galadriel is also equipped with a white staff adorned with flowers giving her the same abilities as the wizard characters.
Behind the ScenesEdit
- Gandalf's staff is often referred to as a "walking stick".
- Also, many of the names Gandalf is given also refer to him having a "wand", "cane", or "staff".
- There are a few times in The Hobbit that Gandalf the Grey is referred to as having a Wand, this is likely referring to his staff.
Replicas Edit
The staff of Gandalf the White was made by United Cutlery and originally had a metal helm, constructed of three pieces. Due to problems with the paint cracking around the triangular structure the versions of the staff with the metal crown were discontinued. As well as that, there were consistency errors with the staff used in the film as the triangular structure did not meet in one final tip as it does with the Weta prop. These problems were rectified with the more commonly available poly resin crown version which is now available. Weta never made their version of the prop available for purchase as it would of been hugely expensive to make as Gandalf the White's "Hero" staff was made out of marble.
Saruman the White's staff was also firstly constructed by United Cutlery but also had some errors. The orb like crystal that rests in the crown would very often come loose as it didn't fit correctly and the shaft of the staff did not include the tapered spike like finish and round notch towards the bottom. These problems were rectified by the Weta team who recreated the prop from metal, in one piece, with all the design elements in place. The Weta prop was a numbered stock of 1000.
Gandalf the Grey's staff by noble collection (the staff used in Moria and Imladris) was also brought out and featured a crystal in the top, these props were a numbered stock (900) and also incredibly fragile leading to them being quickly discontinued. The crystal on the top of the staff also did not match the spike like shape it has in the movie and was more squared off.
Gandalf the Grey's light up staff by noble collection (the staff used in The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey) came in three pieces and had a plastic like finish. Due to the technical elements some design elements were markedly different to the United Cutlery and Weta versions of the staff. in particular the hollow of the staff is more of a blueish, greyish, plastic like colour, whilst the Weta and United Cutlery prop versions are a stark creamy/white.
Gandalf the Grey's staff (the prop version used in The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey) was recreated by both Weta and United Cutlery. Both props have marked differences, such as size, colour and weight. The Weta version is heavier, painted more closely to the film version and is slightly smaller than the United Cutlery version of the staff. The United Cutlery version of the staff is very delicate and easily breakable due to it being made of poly resin. It is also known to crack easily if misused. The Weta prop was a numbered stock of 1000.
Radagast the Brown's staff was beautifully recreated by Weta, using the same materials as the film prop. The design elements were all exactly the same making it one of the more impressive staffs. The Weta prop was a numbered stock of 1000.
Gandalf the Grey's staff (the prop used in The Battle of the Five Armies, and the Fellowship of the Ring) is a broken down version of Radagast's staff made by United Cutlery. It has more of a golden yellow/mousy brown colour in stark contrast to the Weta prop of Radagast's staff and obviously has a broken down crown structure to show its wear in battle. It also does not feature Radagast's crystal, but does include Gandalf's pipe and pipe tamper (nail spike). This particular United Cutlery product was a numbered stock of 1000.

Personal ones for my account, ~/bin. System-wide ones go in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin as appropriate (scripts which should only be run as root go in sbin, while scripts intended to help ordinary users go in bin), rolled out via configuration management to ensure that all machines that need them have them (and the latest versions, too).
Well some software is specifically written for AIX/Solaris etc. while some 'money men' don't trust 'free' software (I've witnessed this myself, someone told me I HAD to spend money on OS!). But most of the time it's to get 24/365 support.

It sounds like this filename may contain a non-printable character. That would explain "touch" making a different file. Try something like ls -b in the directory to see if that's the case?

Software maintenance in AIX is complicated and alien to the uninitiated. These days, major major AIX OS updates are referred to as a "maintenance level" (ML) and revisions to those code drops are referred to as "service packs" (SP).

For more complex stuff, especially something that could be shared between multiple machines I tend to make distribution packages, Debian in my case. I use /usr/bin, and give scripts some common prefix. That way it's easier to deploy and keep track of them. For my personal stuff, ~/bin is good enough.

[ needs a space after it because [ is actually a command (/usr/bin/[ on Linux, though bash has a built-in version that it uses).

Also, if you are testing strings, you should put quotes around $x: if [ "$x" == "string" ] ...
Adding to previous answers: It depends on what you are going to run on the server. Example: If you want to run Oracle, you go with (both hardware and) operating systems that Oracle itself says its (particular version of the) software is tested (certified by them) to run on.

Finding Jameco Products
With thousands and thousands of products to choose from, finding the right product can be difficult, as well as searching for specifications and finding similar products for comparison. Jameco's site has one of the most powerful and sophisticated search engines in the electronic components industry. We've designed it to be flexible and search the way you want to search.
The Jameco search design features four levels on your way to finding the products you need.
- Home Page The home page offers two primary search paths: Product Search or via a Product Category drill down.
- Mid-Level Page (Advanced Search) No matter how you search, if you find multiple matches, you'll arrive at the Mid-Level page. This page is organized by Product Class and Sub-Classes that meet your search criteria. Sub-classes always appear with a small check box to the left of the description.
- Parametric Page Once you've selected the Sub-Classes you are interested in, this page will help you narrow or filter your search and deliver the resulting product tables below.
- Product Page The product page is dedicated to a single product and should give you all the information you'll need to make a purchase.
From the home page you can start your search in one of two ways. If you know what you are looking for try a Keyword or Part Number search. If you are familiar with Jameco's catalog, you might be more comfortable using a Drill Down approach by starting with a Product Category or Product Class.
Below is a list of quick tips on how to search and tricks to help you find what you need quickly and with ease
Jameco allows you to search three different ways. You can search by Jameco's part number or the original manufacturer's part number and even keywords. If you only know a portion of the product number, Jameco's search will return all matches that look similar. You can also add an asterisk (*) as a wild card at the beginning, middle or end of your search string.
Jameco also provides a drill down search feature by Product Category, Product Class and Sub-Class similar to the organization you'll find in Jameco's popular catalog. Select "Product Categories" on the left side of the page. You'll also see that each Product Class has a number in parenthesis that indicates the current number of products available for sale in that Product Class on the Jameco website.
With over 70,000 products available for sale, filtering is one of the most important capabilities of the site. You'll find filtering opportunities on both the Mid-Level page and the Parametric Page. Filtering allows you to fine tune your search based on a pricing, availability, or roughly a hundred different parametric data elements.
Mid-Level Attribute Filtering
On the left hand side of the Mid-Level page, you'll see the most popular attributes for any given Product Class or Sub-Class. By clicking on the attribute(s) you'll be able to filter your results. Simply click to expand the section and then click to select your filter criteria. This is the fastest way to limit your search by a key filter or two. After you've made your filter selection, select the Sub-Class and click "Show Results."

Court expands convicts' access to DNA testing
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- Washington's Supreme Court is expanding convicts' access to DNA testing that could prove their innocence.
In a 6-3 ruling Thursday, the justices ordered DNA testing for Lindsey Crumpton, who was convicted of repeatedly raping a 75-year-old Bremerton woman in 1993. Crumpton was arrested running near the woman's house, carrying bedding smeared with blood and jewelry the woman identified as hers.
State law says that post-conviction DNA tests can be ordered when a convict shows that DNA evidence would more probably than not demonstrate innocence.
The question in Crumpton's case was whether judges should presume that DNA evidence would be favorable to the defendant. The majority reversed two lower courts in saying they should.
The three dissenting justices said the law includes no such presumption.

The Journal provides live analysis of Saturday's Harvard-Yale men's college basketball game with a bid to the NCAA tournament on the line. Commentary is led by Andrew Beaton for the Ivy League playoff showdown at the neutral site Palestra in Philadelphia. Harvard defeated Yale 53-51.
- 3:35 pm (EDT)
- Pregame
- Andrew Beaton
Harvard and Yale have enough reasons to hate each other. Two of the oldest and most prestigious colleges in the country, they usually might be bickering over which institution is the premier beacon of higher education.
But now there's this: For the first time in their centuries-old histories, Harvard and Yale are playing each other for the Ivy League's bid to the NCAA tournament.
Harvard had beaten Yale in February, but when the Bulldogs beat the Crimson last Friday, it gave Yale a one-game lead in the conference with only one game to play. Then in a stunning turnaround, the Bulldogs loss to Dartmouth while Harvard went on to beat Brown, setting up this afternoon's playoff game.
Looking at the makeup of both teams, this might be the most Harvard-Yale game ever. Harvard's season was saved by political science class that taught senior Jonah Travis about "diffusion of responsibility"—a theory he helped apply to the leadership structure of this year's Crimson team.
Meanwhile, their counterparts from New Haven are no academic slouches either. Senior Matt Townsend missed two games this season while he was busy earning a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.
And get this: There's even more than basketball going on this weekend. The two schools are also playing a best-of-three series in the ECAC men's hockey tournament. On Friday, Harvard beat Yale 3-2 and they play again tonight at 7 p.m.
But for now we'll stick to basketball, so stay tuned here for live updates, analysis, factoids and everything in between for this showdown in Philly.

From Skaneateles 300, Marcellus dentist Dr. Taryn Jirousek showed off her figure in a sleeveless empire waist dress and carried a bag from the shop as she mingled with luncheon attendees.
"I love this dress," Jirousek said.
Her first modeling job came from a long-standing friendship she has with Skaneateles 300 owner, Geraldean Lantier.
Along with lunch and fashion, a silent auction was ongoing through event so those in attendance could make their bids. All of the items were donated by local merchants, said Patti Carey with the music guild.
According to Carey, who also acted as emcee to introduce the models, the funds in the past have helped to purchase instruments for the school that the Skaneateles Board of Education is not able to pay for. Funds also aid students who need help to pay for private lessons or summer programs.
Each year, the guild awards two $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors and also hosts the "Summertime with the Syracuse Symphony" concert.
Last year, the spring luncheon and the guild's Christmas party raised more than $15,000 for the projects.

The Trimble County Lady Raiders battled to two convincing home court wins in the past week, topping District foe North Oldham by a 46-32 score and overwhelming Gallatin County, 66-38.
The Trimble five overcame a sluggish opening to the North Oldham game Thursday, allowing the visitors 11 unanswered points before getting on the scoreboard to close the first quarter trailing 11-2. Trimble Coach Kerrie Stewart was not pleased.
