GNOME First Steps
What is GNOME?
"GNOME 3 is an easy and elegant way to use your computer. It is designed to put you in control and bring freedom to everybody. GNOME 3 is developed by the GNOME community, a diverse, international group of contributors that is supported by an independent, non-profit foundation." — GNOME
From a Clean Install
Ensure that the X Window System is installed.
Preparing to emerge
To get your system ready to emerge gnome, first set your system flavor to desktop, and enable the gnome profile mix-in. To accomplish this, do the following:
# eselect profile set-flavor funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop # eselect profile add funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome
Console: Set profile{{#subobject:|step=|stepCount=1|In recipe=setup,setup-light|+sep=,|action=runcmd|body=# ##i##eselect profile set-flavor funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop
- ##i##eselect profile add funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome}}
By enabling the gnome mix-in, various USE and other settings will be optimized to provide you with a pain-free GNOME installation experience.
You are provided with two packages that will pull in this desktop environment:
- gnome
This is the "whole shabang" - pulls in a range of applications made for the gnome desktop environment including a few games, an archive manager, a system monitor, a web browser, a terminal, etc.
- gnome-light
As the name implies, this pulls in the base minimal you need to get a functioning GNOME Desktop Environment.
GNOME 3.14 from a clean install
To emerge gnome run the following command
# emerge gnome
Console: Emerging GNOME{{#subobject:|step=|stepCount=2|In recipe=setup|+sep=,|action=runcmd|body=# ##i## emerge gnome}}
To emerge gnome-light run the following command
# emerge gnome-light
Console: Emerging a minimal GNOME environment (alternative){{#subobject:|step=|stepCount=3|In recipe=setup-light|+sep=,|action=runcmd|body=# ##i## emerge gnome-light}}
Upgrading from GNOME 3.12
To update either gnome or gnome-light run the following command:
# emerge -vauDN world
For bluetooth support, ensure that:
- Bluetooth support is enabled in your kernel (using modules is fine).
- Your bluetooth hardware is turned on.
- Add the
bluetoothstartup script to the default runlevel, and start it.
This can be done as follows:
# rc-update add bluetooth default # rc
Once this is done, you should now be able to navigate to Settings -> Bluetooth and turn bluetooth on. The icon next to devices should now animate and you should be able to discover and add devices such as keyboards.
Additional kernel drivers may need to be enabled for certain input devices. For example, for the bluetooth Apple Magic Trackpad, the following option must be enabled in your kernel:
Under Device Drivers-->HID support-->HID bus support-->Special HID drivers:
<M> Apple Magic Mouse/Trackpad multi-touch support
To enable printing support, add
cupsd to the default runlevel:
# rc-update add cupsd default # rc
You should now be able to navigate to Settings -> Printers and add printers to your system, and print.
To enable scanning support, add your user account to the
lp group. This will allow your user to access the USB scanner.
emerge xsane, and run it. It should be able to access your scanner.
Finishing Touches
Setting up xdm (GUI log-in)
Typically, you will want to use
gdm, the GNOME display manager, to log in to GNOME. This will allow you to log in graphically, rather than using the text console.
To enable gdm, edit
/etc/conf.d/xdm and set
DISPLAYMANAGER to
gdm instead of
xdm. Then, perform the following steps to add
xdm to the default runlevel, and have it start automatically from now on when your system starts:
/etc/init.d/xdm initscript has been modified to start the requisite services
openrc-settingsd and
consolekit prior to starting
# rc-update add xdm default
Console: Enable the GNOME display manager{{#subobject:|step=|stepCount=4|In recipe=setup|+sep=,|action=runcmd|body=# ##i## rc-update add xdm default}}
Then, if you want to start it now do:
# rc
But you should reboot to avoid having an open login terminal.
Setting up xinitrc (text log-in)
Adding the following to your
~/.xinitrc file is sufficient:
# Fix Missing Applications in Gnome export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- # Properly Launch the Desired X Session exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
Additionaly, if you need support for different input sources, there is no longer a need to configure IBus or SCIM in your
.xinitrc file as GNOME uses IBus natively. Simply configure it in the Control Center under Region & Language.
Automatically Starting Applications at Login
When using an old-fashioned
.xinitrc, starting up applications when X starts is relatively easy. When using GDM, this can still be accomplished, by using the
~/.xprofile file. Here's my sample
.xprofile to start
xflux to dim the screen at night:
xflux -z 87107
Remember to add a
& at the end of any command that doesn't return to the shell prompt after running.
Gnome has several games that can be added on to your install. By default most games are not included in gnome's emerge.
Users wishing to play games need to be added to the games group:
# gpasswd -a $USER games
game list:
- gnome-sudoku
- gnome-mastermind
- gnome-nibbles
- gnome-robots
- gnome-chess
- gnome-hearts
- gnome-mahjongg
- gnome-mines
- gnome-klotski
- gnome-tetravex
game system emulators:
- gnomeboyadvance
- gnome-mud

When you feel a tinge of hunger, give yourself permission to put down the grab-and-go bar or bag of chips, and instead take a moment to have a mindful snacking experience that allows you to truly savor your food.

Same position. Both are LH batters. Both drafted at similar positions. Both similar in age and similar in terms of hype coming out of the minors (ie a lot of it).
Heyward had an impressive first showing as Bruce was in his debut. Heyward was a trending topic on Twitter earlier today.
Bruce is not looking so good - at least today.. I haven't seen any spring training games, but have to vote with what I've seen. Heyward.
heyward is 2.5 years younger. I would go all in on Heyward, he doesn't turn 21 til late simmer.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Bruce may hit more HR's, but as an overall hitter, I believe Heyward will be a bit better. That's not a slight to Bruce as I believe he can be really good, but Heyward, I think, can be an elite talent.
Go back to the first few weeks of Bruce's debut, and it would be overwhelmingly in favor of Bruce. Bruce had a great spring, and looked good at the end of Sept. as well, when he came back from injury.
I voted Bruce, but if I really had to bet, I'd say Heyward. Making the majors (deservedly so) at such a young age is a pretty big indicator of future success.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
This is the telling year for Jay. His first season he had some flashes of brilliance to come. His second season was largely lost in hope, hype, and horror, at least until the end of the season when he came back from injury.
If he can't start climbing the hill this season then Heyward has the hope all in his court.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
The league will adjust to Jason Heyward, just as it did to Jay Bruce.
Both are going to be very good players for a long time.
I never heard Bruce being compared to Griffey like Heyward currently is being compared. Hopefully both will be great players but I think Heyward will be the much better player.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
It's time to start entertaining offers on Bruce. That stock could go south any moment. Don't think Jocketty isn't thinking the same thing, too.
To be fair I'd say this question is being asked at a time when Heyward's stock is at an all time high, and Bruce's is around an all time low.

- Shaun White is super in pipe at Winter X Games, advances in slopestyle too
ASPEN — With dreadlocks dangling, ever-grinning Swede Henrik Harlaut skied into Winter X Games history over the weekend at Buttermilk Mountain.
The 22-year-old super-styled his way to gold in Saturday night's big air contest, spinning 1620 degrees while flipping three times. Then he took silver in slopestyle Sunday with the same "nose butter" move: smearing the tips of his skis on the lip of massive kickers as he started his rotating, backflipping trickery. Two years ago, the charismatic skier brought the nose butter to jumps. The move was developed as a flat- terrain trick by skiers switching directions over gentle rollers.
Harlaut injecting the smooth, smearing move into jumping competitions reveals a skier bent on developing his style and technical flair. He didn't even need the triple cork to secure silver in Sunday's slopestyle competition, which saw skiers tweaking their grabs and stomping clean landings more than focusing on who could spin the most.
"When I grew up, all my favorite skiers were only style skiers," he said, noting that he watched ski movies, not competitions, for inspiration. "I always thought style was the biggest part."
Over the weekend, the happiest, most sublimely creative skier in the game rocked to New York's Wu-Tang Clan and reggae's Cali P as he competed.
The rhythmic tunes help settle nerves. The nose butter, he said, is "risky and scary" because catching the tails on the lip would launch spectacular crashes. "Do it 100 percent or you will eat" it.
Harlaut seems like he's having the time of his life. His wide grin flooded the ESPN telecasts Saturday and Sunday. "I don't know anything as fun as skiing," he said. "Every day is a beautiful thing. I am super-blessed to be out skiing."
The expansive smile, Harlaut said, came from his departed grandfather.
"He was the illest and he showed me how to smile when I was young," he said. "I have more trouble not smiling, I guess."

Harpeth River State Park is a linear park managing 40 miles of the Harpeth River that connects several natural, archeological and historic sites including nine access points.
The Harpeth Scenic River Complex includes canoe access at the U.S. Hwy. 100 Bridge, the 1862 Newsom's Mill ruins and at the McCrory Lane Bridge at Hidden Lake. Downstream, the Narrows of the Harpeth provides an upstream and downstream access, the Bell's Bend five mile float a unique 1/4 mile portage. The park provides beginner and advanced paddlers opportunities to float the Class II river. Visitors can bring their own canoe or kayak or call local commercial outfitters for trip information and boat rentals.
Located in the Narrows of the Harpeth, a 100 yard tunnel, hand cut through solid rock in 1818, was one of the great engineering feats of the time and is today an industrial landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. Montgomery Bell, an early iron industrialist, was so proud of his steel mill that he lived within the sound of this waterfall and is buried across the river.
Hiking is another popular activity in the park. There are many trails throughout the park offering varying degrees of difficulty, with several leading to some of the historical areas. Most trails have interpretive signs. A half-mile trail along the backside of the limestone bluff leads to the site of Montgomery Bell's Pattison Forge where a small waterfall is all that remains of the iron forge operation. Another trail offers a half-mile hike through the forest and along majestic bluffs to a small lake with a one mile spur trail ascending to the top of a ridge where the remains of an old marble dance floor are all that remain of a 1940's resort.
Harpeth River State Park is also known for active fishing. The river hosts large and small mouth bass, bream, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish and other game fish.

Pervasive Developmental Disorders
Topic Overview
Pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) is an umbrella term used to define a class of disorders.
Disorders included in this class are:
- Autistic disorder .
- Rett's disorder .
- Asperger's syndrome .
- Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) .
- Pervasive developmental disorders—not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). This term is used to identify children who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for an established pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) but who have developmental and behavioral problems that are similar to those found in autism. These problems include abnormal sensitivities and unusual behavioral responses to certain situations.
Children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) have difficulty in areas of social and emotional development, including:
- Developing relationships with other people, including their parents and children their own age.
- Communicating with other people.
- Having unusual behaviors and interests.
The severity of PDD varies by individual. Severely affected children are unable to function without significant help from parents and other caregivers. Other children are mildly affected and can develop adequate skills to lead independent lives as adults. Many children are affected at levels somewhere between these two extremes.
Pervasive developmental disorders are present at birth. But the signs of these disorders may not be noticed until later, usually during the first 3 years of a child's life.

A man investigators suspect is at the center of a pursuit and multiple robberies appeared in front of a judge Thursday.
Ivan Commodore Stamps, 46, faces several charges after police say he went on a crime spree Wednesday. Stamps is charged with aggravated robbery, three counts of first-degree assault, attempt to influence a public servant and attempted robbery.
Court papers obtained by 11 News Thursday indicate Stamps lied during initial questioning, first about what happened, and then about his identity.
Police say the crime spree started Wednesday afternoon, when a Colorado state trooper tried to pull over a Subaru without plates near Powers and Platte in Colorado Springs. The driver wouldn't stop and started driving into a nearby field. He reportedly blew a tire trying to get away, disabling the Subaru.
Police said after the crash Stamps tried to carjack a man at a Loaf N' Jug store but the man refused to give Stamps his vehicle. The suspect then reportedly approached a woman in a white Nissan X-Terra at gunpoint and stole her vehicle.
Minutes later, police say Stamps tried unsuccessfully to rob the TCF Bank near Powers and Constitution. Workers at the bank locked themselves in the back room while he tried to hold up the place.
"That was good timing," said Rachael Connell, who showed up moments after the attempted robbery. "I don't want to get crashed into by a guy or robbed or held up at gunpoint or anything like that."
Witnesses say he did not get away with any money.
Police trapped Stamps near Powers and Carefree. The suspect rammed a police car in front of him, then put it in reverse and hit the police car behind him. Another officer was able to detain him at that scene.
"I wish it wasn't here," said Hannah Taque, who works nearby. "I wish it wasn't in Colorado. I want Colorado to be a safe place and don't want things to happen where there's a lot of kids."
According to a probable cause affidavit, after police read him his rights, Stamps told investigators he took an SUV that was left running and then went to the bank to get change, but no one would help him.
Stamps also gave investigators a fake name. Police later found his picture on record when they took his fingerprints. Stamps has a very lengthy criminal background and served time for robbery and other crimes in Colorado Springs. He was out on parole when he was arrested Wednesday.
CSPD confirmed Wednesday Stamps is a suspect in two robberies on Saturday: King Soopers grocery store on 6030 Stetson Hills Blvd. and Joann Fabrics on 3795 Bloomington St. Police say the getaway vehicle matches a vehicle that was also carjacked on Saturday in the area of Palmer Park Boulevard and Potter Drive.

After much delay, opening arguments were heard this afternoon in the trial of Mark Strong Sr. He's the Thomaston insurance agent accused of helping Zumba fitness dance instructor Alexis Wright run a prostitution business out of her studio in Kennebunk.

DENVER (AP) -- Democrats rejected a Republican proposal to give business owners and employees in Colorado the right to use deadly force against suspected intruders.
The so-called "Make My Day Better" bill failed Monday in a Democrat-led House committee.
Republicans have pushed the proposal for several years. The bill would expand to businesses the legal protections that exist for people who use deadly force at home under the state's "Make My Day" law.
Republicans say business owners and employees should be able to protect themselves like people at home. But opponents of the bill say it would give businesses too much discretion to use deadly force.

As we have seen over the past few weeks and days, Larry Coker and the UTSA staff has pursued some targets at big name schools. This trend continued Wednesday when Class 5A Division I state champion Allen High School got a call from Coker to extend an offer to starting cornerback "Cameron Hartsfield"."If I had to name a leader it would be UTSA because it is the first Division I school to offer me," Hartsfield said. "I have an offer from UTSA and have talked to schools like Nevada, Baylor and San Diego State."As of right now, Hartsfield does not have a visit set up to UTSA, but he hopes that happens before National Signing Day."I need to sit down and talk to my parents and get with the coaches on a good date because I want to come to San Antonio and see the campus and facilities and get to know the players and coaches better before I pull the trigger. "Being up in Allen, I don't know a ton about UTSA. I know it is young football program that is still growing up and getting better. It would be pretty cool to be a part of the first conference championship there."Hartsfield says he stands at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds and runs a sub 4.5 40-yard dash."I think I am very fast and can run with anyone on the field, so that is one of my strengths," Hartsfield said. "I like to play physical and I am instinctive on the field with good ball skills. And I know how to be a part of a winning program because at Allen we play big time football. We grind over here."Hartsfield says he can always improve his footwork and is looking forward to maturing as a player and person at the college level.We'll stay in touch on a possible visit. ...More...

Prison officials notified Homaidan al-Turki of the decision Tuesday, said Adrienne Jacobson, a Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman.
Prosecutors had opposed al-Turki's foreign national offender transfer application, fearing he would have been released upon returning to Saudi Arabia.
In denying al-Turki's request, DOC Executive Director Tom Clements said state law requires sex offenders to undergo treatment while in prison.
"To date you have declined those opportunities to be assessed for potential placement in treatment," Clements wrote. "I have decided not to support your request for transfer to Saudi Arabia at this time."
Al-Turki maintained his innocence during his trial and said the charges stem from anti-Muslim sentiment following the 9/11 attacks. Al-Turki also reportedly claimed to decline to participate in treatment because of conflicts with his Islamic faith, though Clements noted in his letter that those concerns are resolved during treatment.
Al-Turki was convicted in 2006 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion—all felonies—as well as misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.
U.S. Department of Justice officials declined to comment, saying the decision had not been officially announced.
Lisa Pinto, a spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, said DA George Brauchler will "vigorously" prosecute human trafficking in his jurisdiction.
"Mr. Al-Turki is a convicted sex offender who has never accepted responsibility for his crimes nor chosen to undergo sex offender treatment," she said. "By denying his request, the DOC is protecting the community and respecting the young woman who was brutalized by the defendant."
A judge in 2011 reduced al-Turki's minimum sentence by 20 years, based on a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that now makes al-Turki eligible for parole. But inmates are not released until they undergo treatment, part of which includes taking responsibility for the behavior and understanding patterns of the criminal behavior.
Clements wrote to al-Turki that his participation in sex offender treatment "would reflect positive progression and, although there can be no guarantees ... could result in your eventual parole or transfer to a Saudi Arabian prison."
Prison officials, including the warden at Limon Correction Facility where he's incarcerated, reviewed al-Turki's application and called him a model inmate who works with other inmates in a pre-release program. He also contributed to an inmate fund to buy self-improvement DVDs, officials noted in their initial review.
Al-Turki brought his wife, five children and the housekeeper to Colorado in 1995 and was a student at the University of Colorado. He was a well-known member of Denver's Muslim community.
Prosecutors said the Indonesian housekeeper, who was in her early 20s and sexually assaulted over four years, has since returned to her home country.
Al-Turki's 2006 conviction angered Saudi officials and prompted the U.S. State Department to send Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and al-Turki's family.
According to court documents, al-Turki first came under investigation when authorities examined whether his operation of a business violated terms of his student visa. Al-Turki owned Al-Basheer Publications & Translations, which distributed Islamic works in English.
Al-Turki's company holds the copyright to "The Lives of the Prophets," a CD set of Islamic sermons that tell stories about Muslim prophets recorded by the U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed along with his 16-year-old son in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Al-Awlaki attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins and lived in Denver in the late 1990s.

Based on the filming of the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead as well as the 1985 film Day of the Dead. Dawn was filmed in a shopping mall, however it was located in Pennsylvania. Day of the Dead was filmed in Florida, however the plot unfolds mostly underground. The mission involves Vic replacing a stunt double during several of the film's battle scenes. In each scene, Vic must hold off a zombie horde for a certain amount of time. It is inferred that while Vic is filming, Lance is negotiating a cocaine deal with the director, whom is obviously based on George Romaro.

|Premium Features in Details
|Written by Edgar Figaro
|Wednesday, 24 February 2010 18:07
As some of you may have noticed by now, the Premium Features are now active. They do not cost anything additional, but only those who use the Cashier Tab will get them. In addition, there is a FREE TRIAL of the Theatre Tab, which is already available to everyone. Here are the details:
When you make a purchase of 1100 Gran or more from the Cashier tab, along with your Gran your account will be upgraded with Premium Features at no additional cost.
-Double the number of slots you have for Card Files under the FILE menu from 10 to 20.
-Double max length of your in-game mail.
-Adds the Theater functionality, which allows you to watch Replays of your battles, and share them.
Theater Tab
When you finish a battle, you will be given the option to Save it. Select a Saved Battle Slot from the dropdown menu in the Theater Tab and hit Save Battle. You may also type in a name that will help you remember it later.
If you want to share your battle, just select Display URL and cut and paste it wherever you want. The system will automatically disguise your Rival Iczer's name and Avatar for other users, although you will be able to see them when you play them directly from the menu.
You begin with 5 slots to save battle Replays. You may purchase more for 100 Gran each. Unlike the Premium Upgrade, additional slots can be bought withgran earned outside of the Cashier tab.
When you playback a battle, you will be given controls like a DVD player, where you can skip forward or back through the turns, pause or jump to the beginning or end of the battle.
Free Trial
All users get a Free Trial of the Theater Tab. Whenever you finish a battle, you will be given the option to Save a Replay of that battle and start your Trial Membership. This free membership will last for one week.
Expired Accounts
If you re-activate Premium Features on an account that previously had Premium Features in the past, you will have all of your Card Files and saved Replays restored to you, provided it has been one month or less. Any more, and it is possible some of the data will be overwritten. If you purchased extra Replay slots, those will be restored to your account no matter how much time has past.

A New Way to Teach Science
In an essay published in the January 2013 issue of Science, Ann Rivet, TC Associate Professor of Education, and Ravit Duncan, Associate Professor of Science Education at Rutgers Graduate School of Education, called on scientists to get behind proposed new K—12 science education standards and advocate for their adoption by states.
Under current science education standards adopted in 1996, students learn about, say, the water cycle one year and cell mitosis the next, but the curricula often fail to connect those topics to one another or to helpful tactile or visual experiences.
The proposed Next Generation Science Standards, drawn up by a national committee of science educators, learning researchers and content experts, are based on learning progressions, a concept of teaching and learning that has gained traction among education researchers in the last decade.
Learning progressions in science are designed to expose students to core big ideas – atomic and molecular theory, for example – and to provide them with increasingly sophisticated levels of understanding of those concepts as they move through the K—12 science program. At each level, students learn to use scientific practices to create new knowledge that takes their understanding to the next level.
"These standards can fundamentally change the way students come to understand science in K—12 education," says Rivet, who serves on the New York State review committee for the proposed new standards.

Components Content Categories
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 17:08, 4 August 2012 by JoomlaWikiBot (Talk | contribs)
How to Access
Select Content → Category Manager from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation. Or click on the "Category Manager" icon in the Control Panel.
The Category Manager is where you can edit existing Categories and create new ones. Articles in Joomla! are organized into Sections and Categories. Categories are the second level of organization underneath Sections. Every Section contains one or more Categories. The special Section 'Uncategorized' has a special Category also called 'Uncategorized'. These are built into Joomla!.
Column Headers
Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.
- Checkbox. Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.
- Title. The name of the item. For a Menu Item, the Title will display in the Menu. For an Article or Category, the Title may optionally be displayed on the web page. This entry is required. You can open the item for editing by clicking on the Title.
- Status. (Published/Unpublished/Archived/Trashed) The published status of the item.
- Ordering. The order in which to display items. You can sort the list by order number by clicking on the Ordering label in the column heading. If the list is sorted by this column, you can change the order by clicking the arrows or by entering the sequential order and clicking the 'Save Order' icon. This is shown in the screen below.
- Access. The viewing level access for this item.
- Language. Item language.
- ID. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number. When creating a new item, this field displays 0 until you save the new entry, at which point a new ID is assigned to it.
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
The functions are:
- New. Opens the editing screen to create a new content category.
- Edit. Opens the editing screen for the selected content category. If more than one content category is selected (where applicable), only the first content category will be opened. The editing screen can also be opened by clicking on the Title or Name of the content category.
- Publish. Makes the selected content categories available to visitors to your website.
- Unpublish. Makes the selected content categories unavailable to visitors to your website.
- Archive. Changes the status of the selected content categories to indicate that they are archived. Archived content categories can be moved back to the published or unpublished state by selecting "Archived" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the content categories to Published or Unpublished as preferred.
- Check In. Checks-in the selected content categories. Works with one or multiple content categories selected.
- Trash. Changes the status of the selected content categories to indicate that they are trashed. Trashed content categories can still be recovered by selecting "Trashed" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the content categories to Published or Unpublished as preferred. To permanently delete trashed content categories, select "Trashed" in the Select Status filter, select the content categories to be permanently deleted, then click the Empty Trash toolbar icon.
- Rebuild. Reconstructs and refreshes the content category table. Normally, you do not need to rebuild this table. This function is provided in case the data in the table becomes corrupted.
- Options. Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters or permissions can be edited.
- Help. Opens this help screen.
List Filters
Filter by Partial Title
You can filter the list of items either by entering in part of the title or the ID number. Or you can select a combination of Section, Category, Author, and Published State.
- Filter by Partial Title or ID. In the upper left is a filter field and two buttons, as shown below.
- To filter by partial title, enter part of the title and click Search.
- To filter by ID number, enter "id:xx", where "xx" is the ID number (for example, "id:9").
- Click Clear to clear the Filter field and restore the list to its unfiltered state.
Filter by Max Levels, Status, Access, Language
In the upper right area, above the column headings, are 4 drop-down list boxes as shown below:
The selections may be combined. Only items matching all selections will display in the list.
- Select Max Levels. Use the drop-down list box to select the number of levels to display within the structure.
- Select Status. Use the drop-down list box to select the published state: Published, Unpublished, Trashed, or All. For Articles, you may also select Archived. Important: With the default setting of -Select Status-, the screen only shows Published and Unpublished items. If you have the filter set to -Select Status- and you change items to Trashed, the Trashed items will disappear from the screen. However, they have not been permanently deleted. To do that you need to:
- Change the filter to Trashed. The Delete icon will now show in the toolbar.
- Select the items you want to permanently delete.
- Click on the Delete icon.
- You can see all items, regardless of their published state, by selecting All for this filter. You can also re-publish Trashed items by selecting them and clicking on the Publish icon in the toolbar.

Dr. Alexandra Kleinerman, an authority on the origins of writing and education in Sumeria, the cradle of civilization in the Middle East, will deliver two lectures at Keuka College in November.
Kleinerman will speak in Professor of History Sander Diamond's core course that examines the history of the ancient world Monday, Nov. 12 at 10 a.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. in Hegeman 104.
Both are free and open to the public.
Kleinerman is a Rosen Post-Doctoral Scholar in the field of Ancient Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. A graduate of Cornell, she holds a doctorate in Near Eastern Studies from Johns Hopkins University and examined the origins of education and writing as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
"To have a scholar on our campus with such a commanding expertise is a unique opportunity, all the more so with our collective interest in education as well as with the Middle East once more so central to the flow of world events," said Diamond. "She will not only explore the origins of education and the origins of writing, but also bring to class original examples of the clay tablets on which writing began."

GBA Remembers William "Bill" Filonuk Jr., FCRH '77, GBA '83

William "Bill Filonuk, Jr.
Friends and colleagues of William "Bill" Filonuk Jr. FCRH '77, GBA '83, gathered to celebrate his memory on July 18 at Fordham's Lincoln Center campus. Filonuk who served on the board of overseers for the
Graduate School of Business Administration
(GBA), passed away on May 25 after a brief illness. He was 58.
"The word gentleman gets thrown around a lot, but he really was a gentle man," said Ed Stroz, GSB '79, a member of Fordham's board of trustees. "He was a complete man for what Fordham needed."
It was a theme returned to repeatedly throughout the memorial, as Filonuk was frequently described as someone who was disarmingly kind.
"He went so far out of his way to make you comfortable that being from New England, I was initially skeptical," said Daniel Wywoda, who worked at BNP Mellon where Filonuk was a managing director.
Wywoda said that Filonuk's steadfast kindness garnered not just his trust, but that of all his colleagues as well. It was a quality that also secured relationships with potential clients, some of whom dubbed Filonuk "the Math Guy."
"He was also one of the smartest guys but he never flaunted it--who needed Google when you had Bill?" said colleague Nadine Chakar, adding that Filonuk's ongoing love of learning strengthened his relationship with Fordham.
"He beamed with pride when he talked about Fordham and relished the academic research," she said. "He loved to talk about the latest paper written by a 'professor friend.' In truth he loved the bridging the world of academics and business."
Rae Etherington, GBA '94, said that Filonuk's portrait (pictured here) reminded her of when she first met him on the GBA's board of overseers.
"I thought, hmmm, there's a good Irish Catholic Boy, but it turns out that he was Lutheran, and that just makes his love of this University all the more special," she said.
GBA staff recalled how Filonuk came to nearly every event at the school. Though he was among of the most senior-ranking alumni in the mentor program, he was also the one who offered the most time to students.
"He didn't just show up, he was fully present," said Elizabeth Barrett, GBA's senior director of marketing, communications, and events.
David Gautschi, Ph.D., dean of GBA, said that the school will establish the William Filonuk Jr. Memorial Scholarship at Fordham GBA in his honor. Those who wish to contribute may do so at
(Select "Graduate School of Business Administration" and "GBA Annual Fund" from the drop-down menus. Under "Additional Gift Instructions," please type "William Filonuk Jr. Memorial Scholarship."). Checks may be made out to Fordham University/William Filonuk Jr. Memorial Scholarship and mailed to Mary Ann Routledge, director of development, GBA, Fordham University, 888 Seventh Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY, 10019. For more information, contact Routledge at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-636-7184.

Stockings, Tights & Socks
Although often overlooked when purchasing a costume, stockings, tights, and socks can really be the finishing touch to an outfit. From bobby socks to monster fur legwarmers to sexy fishnets, these accessories can make all the difference. Sometimes leg wear are absolutely essential for a costume. Bobby socks are a good example of a must have accessory if you're going to create a real 50s poodle skirt look. The same is true of white knee-high stockings for a man's Colonial knickers. They may be sold separately but they should be considered a necessity if you want to create an authentic look.

Some stockings, socks, or tights are not required but do make an important part of a costume. Furry legwarmers, for instance, can really make a monster or animal costume look more complete. 80s lace cycling shorts or a burlesque dancer's fishnets are the same.

5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
5-alpha reductase inhibitors interfere with the effect of certain male hormones (androgens) on the prostate. This slows the growth of the prostate and can even cause it to become smaller, which may help improve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
But since prostate size does not always correspond to the severity of a man's symptoms, these medicines will not give satisfactory results in every case.
When you stop taking the medicine, symptoms usually return.
Why It Is Used
5-alpha reductase inhibitors are used to keep symptoms of BPH from getting worse. They are also used to reduce the risk of being unable to urinate (urinary retention) and to prevent surgery for BPH.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors are also used to treat the symptom of blood in the urine because of BPH.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors are not recommended for men who have BPH symptoms without a noticeably enlarged prostate. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may be prescribed for men who have bothersome, moderate symptoms of BPH.
How Well It Works
Most men who use 5-alpha reductase inhibitors report about a 3-point decrease in their American Urologic Association (AUA) symptom index. This change represents a noticeable improvement in symptoms.1
5-alpha reductase inhibitors also decrease the risk of complications, such as being unable to urinate (urinary retention). And they make it less likely that you will need surgery.2
It may take 6 to 12 months before you notice that your symptoms have improved.
Using a combination of an alpha-blocker with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor long-term may help your symptoms more than either medicine alone.3
Side Effects
Side effects may include:
- Decreased sex drive.
- Increased ejaculatory dysfunction (such as a smaller amount of semen ejaculated).
- Difficulty getting an erection.
- Breast tenderness or enlargement.
These side effects may go away after a year or more of taking the medicine.
It is possible that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are linked to an increased risk for high-grade prostate cancers. But more research is needed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
5-alpha reductase inhibitors reduce the size of the prostate. But since a smaller size does not always relieve symptoms, these medicines will not give satisfactory results in every case. When you stop taking the medicine, symptoms usually return.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Because PSA levels are used to detect early-stage prostate cancer, men interested in taking a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor might consider the following:
- Most experts suggest that men be checked for the presence of prostate cancer (using the PSA test and a digital rectal exam) before taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
- Follow-up PSA levels that have not decreased by approximately 50% after 6 months of taking a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor may point to the need for further testing for prostate cancer.
- PSA levels above 2 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter) during 5-alpha reductase inhibitor treatment may point to the need for further testing for prostate cancer.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors are not recommended for treatment of BPH symptoms in men who do not have an enlarged prostate.1
The medicine must be taken for the rest of your life to prevent the symptoms from coming back.
This medicine should not be used by men who plan to father a child, because there is a small chance that the medicine could cause a birth defect. Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed tablets of finasteride or dutasteride.

Seeking After God
from R.C. Sproul Jun 03, 2009 Category: ArticlesHow many times have you heard Christians say (or heard the words from your own mouth), "So-and-so is not a Christian but he's searching"? It is a common statement among Christians. The idea is that there are people all over the place who are searching for God. Their problem is that they just haven't been able to find Him. He is playing hide-and-seek. He is elusive. Keep Reading
The Gnostic Ghosts That Haunt Us
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jun 02, 2009 Category: ArticlesI was reminded this afternoon of a liturgy within a liturgy that I practice. My two youngest daughters, Erin Claire and Maili had their first dance recital. They are a part of a small ballet group made up of homeschooled little girls in our broader community. They danced beautifully, received their applause, smiled as only little girls can, and came and sat beside me, giving and receiving hugs. The entire rest of the family was there to cheer them on. The second dance troupe was a little older, and they danced to Pachelbel's Canon in D. As they danced I glanced over at my eleven year old daughter Shannon, smiling joyfully as she took in both the music and dancing. She sat there in her wheelchair and rejoiced. Keep Reading

The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 5)
from R.C. Sproul May 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesPursuing knowledge of the will of God is not an abstract science designed to titillate the intellect or to convey the kind of knowledge that "puffs up" but fails to edify. An understanding of the will of God is a desperately important matter for every Christian seeking to live a life that is pleasing to his or her Creator. It is a very practical thing for us to know what God wants for our lives. A Christian asks, "What are my marching orders? What should my role be in contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God? What does God want me to do with my life?" lt is inconceivable that a Christian could live for very long without coming face-to-face with these gripping questions. Keep Reading
The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul May 28, 2009 Category: ArticlesThis aspect of the will of God refers to what is pleasing and agreeable to God. It expresses something of the attitude of God to his creatures. Some things are "well pleasing in his sight," while other things are said to grieve him. He may allow (but not via moral permission) wicked things to transpire, but he is by no means pleased by them.

Two Kingdoms, One God
from Keith Mathison May 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesWithout a doubt, the greatest theologian in the first thousand years of the church was Augustine of Hippo (354-430). His voluminous theological, exegetical, and devotional writings have had a lasting impact and continue to be studied to this day. One of Augustine's greatest works is The City of God, written to defend the Christian faith from its pagan attackers as the Roman Empire was collapsing. It is one of the most influential books ever written. The City of God is available in a number of English translations, but one of the clearest and most readable is the translation by Henry Bettenson in the Penguin Classics series. Keep Reading
Love Letters
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 26, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt is a strange habit, though I am often caught in its grip. Why is it, I wonder, that we find ourselves so often longing for those days of the early church? Where did we begin to confuse the descriptive with the prescriptive, using what was the church once upon a time as a guide to what the church should be in our own day? The source of this foolishness is likely more Rousseau and likely less the Bible. Rousseau was the father of the modern Romantic movement who argued that man is basically good and that it is the debilitating effects of culture that always make things worse. The more primitive we can get, the better off we will be. Buying into that template, we find the early church to be our ideal. Keep Reading
Doing Without the Church?
from Gene Edward Veith May 24, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe seven churches of Asia addressed in the book of Revelation had their problems. One of them looked quite lively but it was actually dead. Another was so lukewarm that the Lord was ready to spit it out of His mouth. And yet the Son of Man did not tell the Christians of Sardis or of Laodicea to pull out of their congregations.

These books are, therefore, extraordinarily relevant, even today. There are a number of helpful commentaries on the books of 2 Peter and Jude, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading
