Wednesday Afternoon News, Jan 23
City Approves Concept Of Providing Funding For Hospital Expansion Project
(Le Mars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital Administrator Mike Donlin appeared before the Le Mars City Council on Tuesday to offer an update on the status regarding the proposed north addition to the hospital. The hospital is asking the city to assist with the financing of the new addition. Donlin says the hospital hasn't seen this type of expansion since 1972, and the expansion would keep Floyd Valley hospital competitive with other regional health care facilities.
Listen to
Donlin informed the city council that feasibility studies are on-going along with an application for a loan through the U-S-D-A's Rural Development. City administrator Scott Langel reminded the council that Floyd Valley Hospital is the city's second largest employer. He says historically it has been the city's position to help advance businesses in Le Mars, and he says the hospital would fall into that category.
Listen to
Langel believes more negotiations need to occur between city and hospital officials to jointly decide how much money the city should provide for the hospital's addition. Mayor Pro-tem Rex Knapp informed the council that the hospital does not receive any taxpayer dollars in order to function.
Council woman Delana Irhke asked Donlin if the hospital would be able to remain
competitive with all the changes in health care. Donlin responded by saying the hospital constantly updates its status to reflect the changes in health care. The council voted to approve the concept of the city providing some financial assistance to the Floyd Valley Hospital, although the specific amount will be determined at a later date.
Three Arrested For Drug Charges After Traffic Stop
(Le Mars) -- A traffic stop resulted in the arrests of three individuals for various drug charges. On Tuesday afternoon, a Plymouth County Deputy stopped a vehicle on Highway 75 near Hinton. As a result of the stop and investigation at the scene, Plymouth County authorities arrested two people.

McNabney and Klingbeil were taken to the Plymouth County Jail and held on a $25,000 bond.
Additionally, officers executed a search warrant at 118 Center Street in Hinton. While the residence was being secured, an officer located Justin Erichsen. While talking with Erichsen, he became aggressive towards officers kicking one officer in the chest, however, the officer was not injured. Erichsen, age 20, of Le Mars was then arrested for assault on a peace officer, a serious misdemeanor; Possession of marijuana, a serious misdemeanor, and Possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor. Erichsen was then taken to the Plymouth County Jail and is being held on a $1,000 bond.
The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office was assisted at the scene by the Hinton and Le Mars Police Departments.

State Plans To Close Prison Mental Health Center
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The state plans to close a 200-bed mental health center at Fort Madison, only 10 years after spending $26 million to build the facility.
Reports show prisoners will be transferred from the penitentiary's Clinical Care
Unit this spring. They will primarily be sent to state prison mental health units in Clarinda and Coralville.
State Corrections Director John Baldwin tells the newspaper that the move is part of an efficiency and security initiative. He says the plan is to gradually shut down the entire campus after a $117
million, 800-bed maximum-security prison opens about a mile away in
January 2014.
Some supporters say the plan will bring better mental health services. A union leader representing Fort Madison correctional officers says it's not a suitable move for prisoners.
Scarville Mayor To Serve 30 Days In Jail
FOREST CITY, Iowa (AP) - The former mayor of Scarville has been given 30 days in jail and four years of probation for stealing from her northern Iowa town.
Forty-two-year-old Michelle Hermanson had pleaded guilty to theft and to tampering with records. She was sentenced Tuesday in Winnebago County District Court.
Authorities say Hermanson stole about $10,100 from the city. Her thefts were discovered during a special investigation by the state auditor's office. Hermanson must pay restitution as well.
Former city clerk Jolene Carter's crimes also were discovered by the investigation. In December, Carter was sentenced to jail and ordered to pay restitution.
Democrat Wins Special House Seat Election
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - Democrats have retained the Iowa House District 52 seat in a special election.
Assistant Floyd County Attorney Todd Prichard beat Republican Dennis Litterer and independent Craig Clark in Tuesday's election. The unofficial totals were 54.6 percent for Prichard, 43.7 percent
for Litterer and 1.5 percent for Clark.
The district is composed of all of Floyd and Chickasaw counties and part of western Cerro Gordo County.
Prichard replaces Brian Quirk, of New Hampton. The incumbent Democrat won re-election in November but resigned in December because of a new job.
With Prichard's election, the party balance in the House remains 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats.

I think I have found a bug in Zimbra Desktop.
I have a brand-spanking new installation of Ubuntu Server 10.04.3, Zimbra 7.1.2 OSD and Zimbra Desktop 7.1.2 GA for Windows (as documented in this thread)
Using a basically empty test account, I started documenting the process of exporting contacts from Outlook in CSV format and importing them into Zimbra. If I accept the defaults to import into the "Contacts" folder, it works perfectly. However, if I create a new Contact folder called "Contacts - Work" or "Contacts - Personal" (which will show up in the client after creation), and then go through the import process to select one of those folder I created, it does not show them and I am not able to select them. I go back into Address Book view and the folders seem to have disappeared.
If I try to add a new address book during the import process and give it the same name "Contacts - Work", it gives me an error saying "A folder with name "Contacts - Work" already exists."...however, it is not visible. I tried closing the application and opening it again to see if it cleared up but it still will not show the folder and I cannot import contacts into that folder path nor move existing contacts into that folder path since it is not visible.
Here is an image of me about to create the work folder and also shows the work folder appears to not be there:
And the error message displayed after trying to create the folder again which seems to have disappeared.
After I already imported some contacts into the default "Contacts" folder, I created a new address book and called it "Contacts - Phone" and proceeded immediately to drag-n-drop all contacts from the "Contacts" folder into the new folder I just created. This worked and the folder remains visible. This allowed me to import more contacts into the default folder. However, there is an oddity that occurs. If I hold my mouse over the "Contacts" folder, it says there are 49 contacts. That is correct. But if I hold the mouse over the "Contacts - Phone" folder, it shows a count of zero which is not correct. I can select the "Contacts - Phone" folder and it correctly shows all (~50) contacts in that folder.
Here is a screenshot of the count indicator:
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention, you can see that I was able to create and use the "Contacts - Phone" folder...however, the process I used to create that was during the import process rather than before it.

WHEELING - Madonna coach Chris Conti shook his head and said it just wasn't his team's night.
No, Friday night belonged to Bishop Donahue's Andrea Guzek.
Though she continued her week-long struggle with her control, Guzek tossed a one-hitter and helped herself with three hits, including a mammoth three-run homer on her way to a five-RBI outing, as she led the Bishops to a 10-1 victory against the Blue Dons in an OVAC Class 1A semifinal at Lisa's Field.
Article Photos
BD's Selena Ghaphery is tagged by Madonna's Brianna Fierrl as she slides into third. Making the call is umpire Dan Delande.
Bishop Donahue wound up with 11 hits in the game, but if you put them end over end, they might not have gone as far as Guzek's homer - save for her two other extra base hits.
''She crushed it,'' Bishops coach Curt Mele said of the blast, which came in the bottom of the seventh and accounted for the game's final three runs. ''As soon as it hit the bat, I knew it was gone. That was one of the hardest hit balls that anyone on our team has hit all season.''
Trailing 7-1 at that point, with Guzek swinging a hot bat all night, Conti didn't consider walking her.
''I told my pitching coach let's pitch to her and we'll see what happens,'' he said.
The ball landed 25 feet beyond the fence in left-center, scoring Megan Rush and Katie Scott.
The one-hitter was a bit misleading in that Guzek walked nine and Madonna had at least one baserunner in six of the seven innings.
The only time it scored was in the fifth when Amanda Paul walked and came around to score on a groundout by Madison Burchill.
The rest was all Bishops.
''They were the better team,'' Conti said. ''We didn't play well. We didn't field it well (four errors). We didn't do a lot of things well.''
That was part of Mele's plan, as he had his runners stealing at nearly every chance. When they stayed put for the moment, his hitters moved them over - and sometimes in -with bunts.
''I thought we played a pretty good small ball game advancing the runners.'' Mele said. ''We did take advantage of some of their errors. We were aggressive on the basepaths. We put a lot of pressure on them that, in tern, led to their errors''
The Bishops scored two in the first thanks to a walk and a pair of Blue Dons miscues. The only hit in the frame was a single by Scott.
They added another in the third on Guzek's RBI double and three more in the fifth, with Guzek hitting an RBI triple, another run crossing the plate via error, and a bunt single by freshman Abbey Mele. She and fellow freshman Sommer South combined for three hits and two runs.
''I think it's starting to come together for them,'' Mele said. ''They're starting to play like sophomores now.''
The final three runs crossed on Guzek's blast.
Bishop Donahue will face St. John in a rematch of last year's final today at 3:45 p.m.
''We're going to have our hands full,'' Mele said.

This is a map of a foundry made with Torstan's dungeon tileset.
Thanks for that set - it's really awesome I apologize in advance for appropriating your oil bowls as crucibles.
I hacked together the industrial ladels with the path and fill tools & texture from an old Planescape book. The sword "engraved" (layer mode: value) in the floor is a faction symbol for the Godsmen from Planescape (hey, I run a Planescape game, imagine!).
The anvils and bellows are from random internet pictures without copyrights AFAIK.
I'll try to do some more work on this before our game night; I'm thinking some molten metal pouring from those ladels would be super cool...
But if you want to print this for play, it should fit fine on 11 x 17 (with 1/2" margins).
Btw, here's the industrial ladel....

Society iz krapp. All countrys are krapp. Nothing good kan be sayd about any country -- except praps that some are better than others. This must be the starting point and the context for all arguement.
And this iz koz humans are mostly krapp -- superstitious pink arsed apes -- future eaters -- but some are better than others.

Aqua Lung has once again raised the bar on regulator design with the Mikron – the
smallest and lightest weight regulator in the line. Weighing in at just 26 oz. (din) and
31 oz. (yoke), this regulator is perfect for the travelling diver. Even more amazing is the
performance is not sacrificed by the extreme compactness of the regulator. Its balanced
first and second stages produce exceptional breathing performance.
• Compact dimensions and low weight blend comfort with a unique diving experience
• A braided hose, weighing less than 5 oz., provides flexibility, comfort and excellent packability
• Available in two colors including a black/pink that matches other ladies' products
• Black/pink version features a smaller Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece designed for smaller
mouths, and the detachable silicone bridge which fits across the upper palate
• Has an adjustment knob that allows the diver to optimize the opening
effort. In the "Mini" position, the opening effort is increased, which is ideal for avoiding
free flows at the surface. In the "Maxi" position, the inhalation effort is lowered, reducing
the work of breathing
• The reduced size and weight makes the Mikron the ideal choice for travellers and young
Available for shipment to U.S. zip codes only

About a month ago we started receiving lots of spam emails so I followed the instructions here:
Configuring and Monitoring Postfix DNSBL - Zimbra :: Wiki
to have our mail server use DNS Blacklists to reject spam and added all possible RBLs, including dnsbl.sorbs.net.
Dnsblcount (setup as per the instructions listed on the above website) is showing that our server is rejecting around 1000 emails per day, and we are receiving markedly less spam.
The issue is that several customers of ours are receiving bounce emails that indicate that the sorbs.net blacklist is causing our mail server to reject their emails. These false positives seem to be isolated to the sorbs.net RBL, so I re-did our DNSBL configuration to include all possible RBLs except sorbs.net and restarted the mail server.
Here is the current output of "zmprov gacf | grep zimbraMtaRestriction"
This indicates to me that dnsbl.sorbs.net is no longer being used, however, we are still having sender's email rejected as a result of their being blacklisted on sorbs.net and dnsblcount is still showing sorbs.net as one of the rejectorsCode:
zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_invalid_hostname
zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_non_fqdn_hostname

zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net
zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org
zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_rbl_client relays.mail-abuse.org
Even though I removed sorbs.net from the MtaRestrictions list as of 06/02/11, today's (06/07/11) dnsblcount report shows:
We need our server to stop rejecting email based on the sorbs.net RBL. Any followup on this is greatly appreciated.Quote:

dnsbl.sorbs.net 376
sbl.spamhaus.org 136
bl.spamcop.net 86

Total DNSBL rejections: 1536
As an aside, is it possible to have postfix do other things with these emails rather than reject them (mark as spam, for example)?
Thank you,

We must remain vigilant in the war on terror
(Page 2 of 2)
So we ignored the warnings. Long Island Congressman Pete King, former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, questioned why they didn't set off alarm bells. King said he plans to ask Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller "for a full, detailed explanation."
This was clearly an act of terror, and not just a spontaneous strike.
As King pointed out in another Post story, "You had multiple explosions. You had someone who was able to penetrate security. Amateurs don't do that, so this was well-planned and coordinated. It was a terrorist attack."
Let's not forget that after 9/11, the country adopted new surveillance policies that subsequently caused angst and concern among several civil liberties groups. The New York Police Department went even further, developing surveillance policies that include cameras on street corners. The cameras have proven to be an effective tool in gathering intelligence and fighting both crime and terrorism. The NYPD has also admitted to actively investigating certain groups that it believes have a propensity to commit acts of terror.
Do these practices intrude on people's rights? The surveillance tools and practices used by the NYPD are effective ways to collect intelligence and protect our nation. After the Boston bombings, it should be even more apparent that law enforcement must gain every possible advantage against anyone looking to inflict harm on innocent people.
King has joined a growing group of U.S. senators who are calling for Tsarnaev to be held as an "enemy combatant." This would prevent him from being given Miranda rights and allow at least 30 days of unlimited interrogation. Unfortunately, our reality is that we are in a day and age in which certain rights must be forfeited in order to guarantee safety.
The people of Boston have proved that the American people will not cower in the face of terrorism. God bless them, and God bless America.

28 CFR 38.2 - Formula grants.
(a) Religious organizations are eligible, on the same basis as any other organization, to participate in any Department program for which they are otherwise eligible. Neither the Department nor any State or local government receiving funds under any Department program shall, in the selection of service providers, discriminate for or against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious character or affiliation. As used in this section, "program" refers to a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement funded by a formula or block grant from the Department. As used in this section, the term "grantee" includes a recipient of a grant, a signatory to a cooperative agreement, or a contracting party.
(b) (1) Organizations that receive direct financial assistance from the Department may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization, as part of the programs or services funded with direct financial assistance from the Department. If an organization conducts such activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services funded with direct financial assistance from the Department, and participation must be voluntary for beneficiaries of the programs or services funded with such assistance.
(2) The restrictions on inherently religious activities set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section do not apply to programs where Department funds are provided to chaplains to work with inmates in prisons, detention facilities, or community correction centers, or where Department funds are provided to religious or other organizations for programs in prisons, detention facilities, or community correction centers, in which such organizations assist chaplains in carrying out their duties.
(c) A religious organization that participates in the Department-funded programs or services will retain its independence from Federal, State, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct financial assistance from the Department to support any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Among other things, a faith-based organization that receives financial assistance from the Department may use space in its facilities, without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. In addition, a religious organization that receives financial assistance from the Department retains its authority over its internal governance, and it may retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board members on a religious basis, and include religious references in its organization's mission statements and other governing documents.
(d) An organization that participates in programs funded by direct financial assistance from the Department shall not, in providing services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief.
(e) No grant document, agreement, covenant, memorandum of understanding, policy, or regulation that is used by the Department or a State or local government in administering financial assistance from the Department shall require only religious organizations to provide assurances that they will not use monies or property for inherently religious activities. Any such restrictions shall apply equally to religious and non-religious organizations. All organizations that participate in Department programs, including religious ones, must carry out eligible activities in accordance with all program requirements and other applicable requirements governing the conduct of Department-funded activities, including those prohibiting the use of direct financial assistance to engage in inherently religious activities. No grant document, agreement, covenant, memorandum of understanding, policy, or regulation that is used by the Department or a State or local government in administering financial assistance from the Department shall disqualify religious organizations from participating in the Department's programs because such organizations are motivated or influenced by religious faith to provide social services, or because of their religious character or affiliation.
(f) Exemption from Title VII employment discrimination requirements. A religious organization's exemption from the Federal prohibition on employment discrimination on the basis of religion, set forth in section 702(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-1, is not forfeited when the religious organization receives direct or indirect financial assistance from Department. Some Department programs, however, contain independent statutory provisions requiring that all grantees agree not to discriminate in employment on the basis of religion. Accordingly, grantees should consult with the appropriate Department program office to determine the scope of any applicable requirements.
(g) In general, the Department does not require that a grantee, including a religious organization, obtain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to be eligible for funding under Department programs. Many grant programs, however, do require an organization to be a "nonprofit organization" in order to be eligible for funding. Individual solicitations that require organizations to have nonprofit status will specifically so indicate in the eligibility section of a solicitation. In addition, any solicitation that requires an organization to maintain tax-exempt status will expressly state the statutory authority for requiring such status. Grantees should consult with the appropriate Department program office to determine the scope of any applicable requirements. In Department programs in which an applicant must show that it is a nonprofit organization, the applicant may do so by any of the following means:
(1) Proof that the Internal Revenue Service currently recognizes the applicant as an organization to which contributions are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) A statement from a State taxing body or the State secretary of state certifying that:
(i) The organization is a nonprofit organization operating within the State; and
(ii) No part of its net earnings may lawfully benefit any private shareholder or individual;
(3) A certified copy of the applicant's certificate of incorporation or similar document that clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or
(4) Any item described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section if that item applies to a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.
(h) Effect on State and local funds. If a State or local government voluntarily contributes its own funds to supplement activities carried out under the applicable programs, the State or local government has the option to separate out the Federal funds or commingle them. If the funds are commingled, the provisions of this section shall apply to all of the commingled funds in the same manner, and to the same extent, as the provisions apply to the Federal funds.
(i) To the extent otherwise permitted by Federal law, the restrictions on inherently religious activities set forth in this section do not apply where Department funds are provided to religious organizations as a result of a genuine and independent private choice of a beneficiary, provided the religious organizations otherwise satisfy the requirements of the program. A religious organization may receive such funds as the result of a beneficiary's genuine and independent choice if, for example, a beneficiary redeems a voucher, coupon, or certificate, allowing the beneficiary to direct where funds are to be paid, or a similar funding mechanism provided to that beneficiary and designed to give that beneficiary a choice among providers.
Title 28 published on 2015-07-01

Time to go back to work for Myles Jury (9-0).
The undefeated welterweight will fight at a Titan Fighting Championships event, possibly Titan Fighting Championships 21, on Jan. 28 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The event's main card airs live on HDNet.
A source close to the fighter today informed MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) of the news.
The 23-year-old Jury recently returned to the gym after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus on the set of "The Ultimate Fighter 13." Although cut from the show, UFC president Dana White left open the door for him to return later on.
Now, Jury, who's been training since age 13 and carries an amateur record of 9-1, looks to earn his ticket back to the octagon.
Once an employee at the Detroit Zoo, Jury now lives and trains in San Diego alongside UFC vet Jeremy Stephens and a host of other up and comers.
So why keep an eye on the fighter? Consider that all nine of his pro fights have ended in wins, with stoppages, and in the first round. The average length of each fight? Just one minute and 19 seconds.
Check back with MMAjunkie.com for an update on Jury's opponent.

|Do youth have a role in the future of the United States?
|Written by Chris Lee
Does my generation have a role in America's future? This question was asked and answered many times throughout the Veterans Day program held at the HHS auditorium Thursday, Nov. 11.
Veterans, both alive and deceased, were recognized all around the country for their bravery and willingness to serve their country. HHS students and faculty joined in the remembrance and recognition during the Veterans Day program.
Four students stood in front of their peers to read winning Voice of Democracy speeches that delved into today's youth and their thoughts on their roles for the future of the United States.
All four absolutely believe today's youth will impact the future in one way or another, even though the generation has often been called "Generation Y Bother."
First-place winner Sarah Heermann said, "We are the generation that is stepping up to the plate and filling the many roles. My generation will fill in the gaps left behind, not leave America an empty shell of what it once was, but build onto it, making it a country that is truly ours."
Third-place winner Catrina Krueger said, "We are not just a nation, but also an idea, a virtue and an ideal. We stand for freedom. Not only that but for the men and women that died fighting for that idea."
"America's future depends on us," Jordan Zeiler, second-place winner, said. "After we graduate high school or college, a majority of us will join the workforce. We will become teachers, doctors, architects, lawyers, and believe it or not, someone somewhere in the U.S. who is a teenager right now, will some day be the president of the United States."
Cody Fricke's speech placed fourth. He said, "Every generation has been predicted to fail at one point or another. If I asked someone to go find me a generation in history who was never doubted, I am confident they wouldn't return with an answer."
"Despite the fact we have already been predestined to fail by many, I keep hope within my generation," Fricke added.
Heermann's speech will advance to district competition.
Steve Millage opened last Thursday's comments by telling a story about a fellow veteran he knows. He began by passing around a small case full of many highly distinguished military medals. Included were two silver stars, a purple heart and others.
The awards belong to Jerry Cegielski of Paoli, a shy guy, according to Millage. In fact, Millage said it took some convincing to have Cegielski let Millage use his name during the program. Millage told part of Cegielski's story and his time spent in Vietnam.
Millage explained how Cegielski was assigned to cover a portion of the Ho Chi Minh Trail with 41 other soldiers. Cegielski was the medic for the group. After capturing a North Vietnamese prisoner, the group was led into an ambush and attacked by the North Vietnamese.
Millage explained Cegielski spent all day tending to fellow wounded soldiers while never firing a shot. A call for reinforcements was made but they didn't show up right away. When all was said and done, there were only 19 soldiers left. Out of the seven original Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) there were only three left and the two tanks they began with were lost.
The next morning they were hit again. Events are blurry for Cegielski, according to Millage. Once back to the base, it was attacked. To this day, Cegielski doesn't know what happened to the survivors from his group, Millage explained. But for his efforts he was decorated with the medals as he saved lives while being wounded himself.
Millage also briefly spoke about Boys and Girls State and encouraged any interested students to attend. He also noted it was a difficult year for judging the Voice of Democracy speeches, as there were many good ones. He encouraged students to incorporate patriotism into the theme of the speeches each year.
Members of the select choir, under the direction of Marcia Dalton, began the program by singing the National Anthem and Shirley Kadlec led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The HHS band, under the direction of Stuart Potter, performed "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "God Bless America."
Trumpeters Jack Wieland and Logan Bly closed the program by playing "Taps" as students and guests saluted the flag in honor of all veterans.

I read many places that the rule of thumb for swap space is to double the amount of physical RAM. However, 32 GB does seem a LOT. Do I need that much? Do I need it at all with this high amount of physical RAM?
It entirely depends on what you plan to do with the machine. For example if it were a Sap server then yes, I would add 32gb swap ( we have boxes at work with 128gb ram and 32gb swap ). If you were manipulating massive pictures and video then it makes sense to have a little swap. 32gb is probably overkill.
However I would not say zero swap.
In the unlikely event that you run out of RAM - perhaps opening a big file, perheps a long running tab in firefox, it doesn't matter, in that event your kernel OOM killer will kick in and start killing applications to get memory back. Under those circumstances it's entirely possible that you will lose data as applications get killed. However if you have a bit of swap then the system will carry on, grabbing swap and allowing the system to continue. System slows down as heavy swapping happens, you notice and investigate before all swap exhausted. Also disk is very cheap, so why not have swap?
Anyone who says "you don't need swap" without asking you what you're actually doing with your computer is making assumptions. Whilst you may well do very little with your computer that eats RAM, it's still best to ask the questions about what you're planning to do with it before making the rash judgement that you don't "need" swap. In my humble opinion
Here's a very good recommendation from RedHat:Recommended System Swap Space
An excerpt from the same link:
Current table (as of December 2012):
Original table:
Argh. The answers on this post are so very wrong, and this comes up as one of the first results in a Google search for "How much swap?"
First, a good point of reference is the Ubuntu Swap FAQ
This FAQ makes an important point that no one here mentions, and that is (emphasis mine)
So, swap is not just for hibernation! This activity, swapping out unused pages, can be beneficial in some scenarios and detrimental in others. Beneficial because it can free up memory for the system to use elsewhere, but detrimental when that swap out is too aggressive, and swaps out pages you actually do want. This is especially true on a desktop system where applications can sit idle for long periods of time, but the user still expects immediate performance when bringing it back to life. The control for how aggressive this is, is referred to as swappiness
The Ubuntu Swap FAQ discusses this lightly under What is swappiness and how do I change it? The default value on an Ubuntu system is 60, while the FAQ recommends a value of 10 for a desktop machine.
So, I would say that it is generally very important to not have a system with absolutely no swap space, as some people were recommending on this question, unless you know for certain very specific usage scenarios for your system and are very aware of the consequences it could have. (Personally, there is no situation where I would run a system without swap) In an Out of Memory scenario with no swap, the system will start killing processes (generally the one that caused the OOM)
Probably not. If you plan to hibernate your computer (suspend-to-disk) then you'll need at least 16 GB. If you won't hibernate, it is enough to let a few gigabytes for swap (4-8 max.)
No, you don't need 32 GB as long as you don't use features like suspend to disk.
From experience I can say this:
For what I have seen using 4GB of ram for 3 years, Ubuntu has had a swap usage of around 60MB but only when doing some very intensive tasks. A couple of weeks ago I started using a PC that had 16GB of ram and the swap usage has stayed in 0% for ever. I have done multiple compiles, video rendering and other intensive tasks. There has never been a change in swap. Not even a 1KB change.
Basically, in Ubuntu, the more memory RAM you have, the less likely you will use or need swap for any task. 16GB of ram, or even 8GB of ram is more than enough. I have done with the 16GB PC 8 Virtualbox PCs (each between 1GB to 2GB of ram). I have compiled and rendered a 720p video and not even in those conditions has the swap changed.
In most cases, I'd say you don't need any at all. Perhaps if you edit very large image files, or some other app that needs lots of ram, you might need some.
I've never seen any used at all on my system, similar to yours. In fact, at one time, I had it disabled for a week or two accidentally, and never noticed any problem. But I still keep about 5GB for my swap drive, mainly because I have over 1TB available, and don't use all the space as it is.
If your ram is higher than 1GB, it is usually enough for ubuntu. The "Swap = RAM x2" rule is for old computers with 256 or 128mb of ram.
So 1 GB of swap is usually enough for 4GB of RAM. 8 GB would be too much.
If you use hibernation your swap should have at least the same amount as your physical ram.
If you use hibernate, it's safe to have as much swap as your amount of RAM.
For a general rule of thumb on how much swap to have, read here:
In your case I'd say 4 GB would be enough to match your RAM.
You only need swap if you want to use hibernate for the rest it is a wast of space on your harddrive.
I think you got it the other way round. SWAP Recommendation, you would need ~16GB. So SWAP should be 1/2 of the actual RAM size. But still thats a LOT of space. Depends what you need it for. I'd say, if you don't use "hibernate", keep around ~4GB to ~8GB if you can afford the disk space. Since you have 16GB, I assume you may be using a computer which needs powerful resources... so maybe it might be beneficial to have 16GB to 32GB SWAP as well.
I have 2GB RAM and 1GB SWAP. I do pretty much fine with it, but that's just my opinion. Look at the other comments/suggestions and see what they say.
I could not find references to quote here, but if you are going to use an application where you need to swap out entire data in RAM, you would atleast need 'RAM size+128 MB' or '1.25 times of RAM Size' (i forgot which one was correct) assuming you have RAM more than 2 GB. If RAM is 2GB or less, it is recommended to have twice RAM size as swap.I followed this recommendation in my previous organisation for IBM AIX based on a document from IBM. I believe this holds true for most of *nix since the use of swap is move data from RAM safely in case RAM is not enough to handle the data to be loaded in memory. 'free' command can be used to evaluate how much swap is used in reality.
Keep this in mind -
So If you have 4 Gb ram you should never ever need swap unless hibernating
If you're building very big files, say for instance if you're building machine translation systems on a laptop (yea ok why would you wanna do that? I for one can say that my professors are making me ;-)) the answer is a clear yes, actually at this moment I'm regretting not making it 32GB swap....
For casual use of Ubuntu for office work and internet no you're never going to use even 2 GB of swap but in reality there is no clear answer, it all depends on what you are going to do on your computer...
I have a Mac laptop, which I leave on for months. Although much better than Windows, memory does creep in, particularly with your browser, if you keep it up. So eventually, memory fills up. Now if you have swap, as other people have noted, you can survive, notice and kill something. But more to the point, if you have swap, some pages get swapped out and you can keep going.
So if you're planning on leaving the machine up for a long time, swap is a handy way to free up memory from zombie junk. Granted it will take you longer to fill up 16g than me with 3gb, but it's still nice. For this purpose, 4Gb will do.
If it is a laptop then keeping at least the swap equal to the amount of RAM, to fully allow hibernation. I would still keep an amount equal to the amount of RAM even if a desktop, but that is just me; it will get little use in a desktop.
Too much information, and variance in opinion.

Hi everyone, first time posting a map in the finished maps forum.
This map was made for a D&D campaign I am running and I decided to make my own setting. I used Gidde's Hand Drawn Mapping (for the Artistically Challenged) tutorial, through the gimp, and I was very happy with the results. So thanks to Gidde! I also posted this map on his thread, before I saw the finished maps thread.
Here's a little background on the map/campaign. The Kingdom of Eleseen has been plunged into war after the death of King Tristan Laenarin. His two sons Sedar and Thenys are both claiming rights to the throne and have begun warring against each other. Thenys holds the capital city Eleseen along the Eastern coast, while Sedar has taken up to the south in a neighboring kingdom (didn't get that far in the campaign yet ). The adventurers started out in the village of Ealdor along the forest to the west and have had two sessions so far doing early level quests. There's tons of stuff I haven't thrown together yet, but I knew I needed to make a map to get a good start to the area and get my players anticipation up.
Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated! I'll be doing a world map sometime in the next few months when the heroes outgrow Eleseen and any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Hope you enjoy!

I love the look of this. This is the second map I have seen today that made me think that maybe borders are more important than I had previously thought. I might have to start using them as well. Nice work.
Thank you for the kind comments! I really love hand-drawn style maps so that is most likely what my style will become. I have yet to do a full search but does anyone have a quick link for a hand-drawn village tutorial? That is my next step forward and to be honest my artistic talent is about zilch.
Very nice Tuleran. Welcome to the Guild.
Kept it simple and it turned out great!
I don't know of any tutorials about village building, but I can offer a tip that works for me: Google Map real world cities. Look at Paris, Moscow, London, Budapest for Old World layouts. For more "modern" street patterns look at NYC, San Francisco, Dallas, etc. Hope that helps. Looking forward to more from you.
I have been notified that it's a breach of copyright to share CC3 icons. Duh, I really should have thought of that.
However, I would highly suggest popping over to Amazon and snagging CC3 used like I did. Totally worth the $ just for the icons! I never really got the hang of the CAD-ness of it, but I plan to dabble again in the near future.

The James Bowden StoryWritten by on May 1, 2011 Contributors: Courtesy Of The Jim Bowden Collection
If you owned a gow job back in the '30s, you owned a race car. You raced it on the street, then you went to the dry lakes and raced it. It was that simple. You might have only raced that "hot iron" a few times, just before World War II, or a "hot rod" just after, and you probably did so with little or no notoriety.
But by being a part of those formative years you became as much a part of the hot rod story as the record holders of that era. Jim Bowden of Hesperia, California, is one of those pioneering hot rodders worthy of these pages.
Jim Bowden's Story
His father gave Jim (born 1921) his first car, a '26 Willys Overland. Jim's dad got it for hanging a screen door for a neighbor for free and passed it onto Jim. Before he did that, he rebuilt the engine and painted the car. "It was a two-door with a wide window that made it nice for a paper route after school," Jim laughs. "It was an afternoon paper."
Later, Jim returned the Willys to his dad. "Once I got the paper route, I had my own money." Jim acquired a '36 Ford sedan while going to Franklin High School in Highland Park, California. My dad was one of those guys who didn't believe in hot rods," Jim says.
Racing An Indy Winner
Jim and his buddy, Roger Ward ('59 and '62 Indy 500 winner), went to Franklin along with Ronnie, Roger's younger brother. Roger and Jim graduated from Franklin in 1941.
"Roger's dad had a wrecking yard in South Pasadena and Roger built himself a Model A roadster that had a four-port McDowell head" (used primarily for circle track racing).
Jim and Roger concentrated on what Jim called "hill climb" street racing up Monterey Road to Montecito Heights in L.A. off the Pasadena freeway on weekends. Jim won't say if Ward's hot A got the better of him. But we kind of know the answer.
Sycamore Drive In was a favorite hangout: "I saw my first A-V8 at the drive in," Jim says, "that belonged to a guy who went to Franklin. He and his dad built it; in fact I think that was the first A-V8 (Flathead Ford V-8 stuffed in a Model A) ever built.
"It was raining one night; I was in my '36 Ford. This old lady ran out in front of me and I knocked her down. I stopped, she wasn't hurt, but when the cops came, I was arrested. I had to go to court and my cousin went with me. They put me in the old Lincoln Heights Jail and my cousin drove my car back home. I was there for seven days. I was released the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, December 7, 1941."
Jim went to Muroc before the war to spectate. Like most, he was amazed at the size of the place and the thrill of such a phenomenon. His '36 wasn't racing material but he vowed that he'd return and race at the lakes one day.
A True Hot Rod Hero
Jim sold the '36 and entered the Army in 1942 where he saw combat in the 1st Infantry Division (Big Red One) in France. Jim became a POW when he was captured in France and sent to Kommando No. 663B in Augsburg, Germany.
"They treated us alright because we were ground troops, but the guys who flew ... they weren't treated very nice at all. (Augsburg was heavily bombed during the war). We ate a lot of potato stew, but I still like potatoes," Jim says.
"The guards at the camp were old and they knew the war was lost, so we all marched out of the camp together. We were trying to get to Switzerland (a neutral country during the war). We were on the road when four P-51 fighter planes flew overhead. Our lead American officer told us not to run. The pilots tipped their wings when they realized who we were. I was liberated on my mother's birthday, April 27, 1945."
Jim hitched a ride home after being released from Camp Beale in California. "He asked the driver to let him off a couple of blocks from where his parents lived," began Jim's wife Florence. "Jim's mother was coming out of a grocery store when she saw Jim and she was in shock." (Is this the makings for a movie or what?!)
Jim later spent six months in a military hospital because of malnutrition. He was discharged in January 1946. Home from the hospital, Jim bought a '35 Dodge coupe for his basic transportation.
Get A Rod
First, Jim had to get a job, then a rod. Besides his paper route, Jim took his first and only job working for someone else when he was hired on as a mechanic for Dick Jones. It also happened that Jones was a member of a racing club.
In the meantime, Jim's younger brother, Earl, had a friend, Bud Moon, who owned a '31 Ford roadster. Earl told Jim about it and Jim bought what would become his first and only hot rod race car as well.
Jim peeled off $125 for the roadster in 1947. It had a stock head on a B-block engine, a cheap upgrade since the B engines produced 50 hp versus 40 hp for the Model A's, which gave him a leg up on the competition.
Jim had his friend, Jack McGrath (dry lake competitor, future Indy 500 competitor, and crack machinist) stroke the Model B crank. "Jack had a shop right next to the fire department in Highland Park on Figueroa and he was taking these cranks and stroking them and drilling them for full oil pressure."
With Bell Auto Parts only 12 miles from Highland Park, Jim was a frequent patron. "I got the Cragar head from Ronnie Ward. I only paid Ronnie $5 for it. I bought a lot of parts for my Cragar at Bell." Jim never registered his roadster. This was a hot rod, not a street rod, even though it had a license plate when Jim purchased it.
Jim joined the Blow-By's Racing Club that was aptly named because they blew by a lot of the competition at the lakes and later in life (later changed their name to the Rev's). Russetta Timing Association was formed so its members could run coupes at their sanctioned events since SCTA only recognized roadsters early on, yet the members of the Blow-By's ran roadsters. Go figure.
Blow-By's member Larry "Chop Sticks" Shinoda would later become the lead designer of the '63 Corvette. Plus he led the design team of the Mustangs from 1970-73. Shinoda coined the name "Boss" for the 302.
Jim's employer Dick Jones was no ordinary garage owner. Jones later became the performance supervisor and head of R&D for Champion Spark Plugs in Long Beach.
Ronnie Ward worked for Frank Kurtis (Kurtis Kraft) and later for A.J. Watson, both winning Champ Car builders. According to Bowden, Ronnie also built his own Sprint Cars called Ron's Racers. (Sadly, they have all died.)
In 1947 Jim opened Occidental Garage (close to Occidental College) in L.A., doing what he loved, working on cars and the roadster. He specialized in tune-ups, brakes, and engine balancing.
Jim was in good company. Other mechanically gifted hot rod racers opened general auto repair garages in the L.A. area as well. Dick Burley, Jerry Kugel, Ak Miller, and Don Zabel concluded, there was no better way to make a living and still work on the race cars than in their own general repair garages.
Park It
"I went twice with Jim to El Mirage," Florence continues. "But I got so shook up when this girl Joan Selsing, who built her car-she did all the work on her '36 Ford coupe herself-had a boyfriend driving it for her. He drove it the day we were up at El Mirage and he was killed. I never went back after that. I asked Jim to quit racing.
"Jim said he was going to take the roadster out one more time to sell it. He came back with a club trophy instead," Florence laughs. Jim's trophy was from the Rev's for 7/24/49. Best Four-Cylinder "R" 106.49 mph.
While that tragedy rattled Florence enough to put her foot down, Jim put his foot down a few more times, too-on the go-pedal. After getting the trophy, Jim took the For Sale sign off the car and paid one last visit to El Mirage. "The car went 106.88," Jim recalls.
"My roadster sat in my mother's back yard for seven years. My brother Earl said, 'let's take it out to the drags.' Florence didn't want me to take it but I was hardheaded and went drag racing anyway. I got a trophy first time out, windshield on it and all, at the San Fernando Drag Strip-87 in the quarter."
Jim's hardheaded refusal to sell his roadster paid off at Famoso Drag Strip. "I took the radiator out of the roadster to try and lighten the thing up; I had just the top of the hood on it, and took the sides off. I had quick-release springs on the hood to hold it down. I went down the strip and the hood came up, I got off it and the hood went down. I got on it and it came up again. Got out of it and I thought I'd better get going. It finally blew off, and I tried to catch it, but the hood hit me in the head," Jim laughs. "It went 83 mph."
Jim ran nine times at the drags and collected six trophies. We can only speculate, had Jim decided to continue drag racing with his early successes, he might have been known as "B-Block Bowden."
Soft-spoken Jim Bowden is truly part of the great generation of hot rodders. Jim is not only a war hero who endured life-threatening hardships as a POW, but represents what early hot rodders were all about. When called upon to serve, they put the hot rods away and fought for their country with valor. They came home and went to work building this country.
Jim got out of the business but kept the property, which is leased out. Jim and Florence retired to Hesperia in 1994.
Jim was not a frequent racer, or a well-known one, but when Jim did compete he left his mark as his trophies attest. Jim raced when he and hot rodding were young. Both can be proud of their heritage. To call Mr. Bowden an unsung hero would be an understatement. Jim, you're a great American and I'm proud to have written your story.
Jim has never returned to the dry lake since the last time he ran in 1949. I will see to it that Jim and I are at the El Mirage meet May 2011.

That's Jim (left) next to fellow Blow-By's member, the late-Howie Markham. Markham purchased Bob Rufi's historic rear-motored Chevy-4 streamliner. (Rufi cranked off 143.54 mph in 1940 at Harper Dry Lake for an even 140 record.). Rufi was at the Oct. 10, 1948 event to watch Markham run. Markham replaced the Chevy four-cylinder of Rufi's with a Ford B-block, Cyclone head, Duelon cam, and two Winfield jugs cranking off a two-way average of 123.88 mph."Noise By Cragar." How cool is that? Throw the earplugs away 'cause there's nothing like the sound of a B-block banger uncorked. "When you put in lot of compression they crackle a lot," Jim says. No Flathead Ford or Chevy V-8s for Jim. His Cragar four-banger lived its entire life of 19 years in the `31 roadster until the day he sold it. And yes, the noise was music to the ears of a Four-Ever-Four kind of guy.Jim proudly stands next to his hot rod at El Mirage-trap speed that day of 102.47 mph in his B-block four-cylinder. He would ultimately coax his Ford roadster to 106.88 mph on July 24, 1949. Notice how the roadster was evolving? The stance changed from sitting high to getting down in the second picture taken on the lake. Besides it looks way cool with the rake. And it went a lot faster too.The reporter might have been a bit overzealous with the facts when writing this newspaper caption. Jim's Chevy was fast, with the hot truck engine he installed, but not a 140 mph-fast towing Markham (not Rufi) that day.Jim's vintage Russetta Timing tags are worth mucho at swap meets today. He's cherished them since the day he received each one of them.Jim's Class Z roadster (second from the top and the only non-dragster in the group) on the cover of HRM's Dec. `59 issue. The text and photos were by Bob Behme. The cover caption read: "Most of this elite group belong to the Four-Ever-Four club dedicated to uphold prestige of re-heated four-cylinder rods for street and strip.""My roadster sat in my mother's back yard for seven years. My brother Earl said, 'Let's take it out to the drags.' Florence didn't want me to take it but I was hardheaded and went drag racing anyway." And Jim came back with a trophy. Jim slapped on the drag slicks and learned to slip the clutch like a pro.
The End: Ready for its new owner, Bob Brown. Jim's '31 was towbar'd away from its home at Occidental Garage June 7, 1965, to begin anew. Jim lost track of the car after that. The price? You don't want to know! If anyone out there knows where it is today, please let us know.

Healing Is A Choice Life group is a support group for women who would like to learn about the choices God wants them to make in improving their lives in the area of relationship connections, boundary setting and grieving losses. Participants will also explore choices in managing depression, dealing with anger and unforgiveness. They will recognize their self-worth and work toward growing stronger spiritually and serving in ministry. Encouragement and emphasis will be on helping participants to evaluate current behaviors, thought processes and past experiences within the context of a small group. This group is limited to no more than 12 participants.
The book "Healing is a Choice" by Stephen Arterburn of New Life Ministries will be used as a tool for discussion as well as the inclusion of other material to promote awareness. One of the most important things the participant will learn is how connection with others rather than isolation can bring positive results. God designed us to be in relationship. Relationships develop as a result of active listening, interaction and acceptance.
If you would like to participate in this group, you must be prescreened by the facilitator and complete an enrollment form. Please note that commitment to attendance, completion of at-home assignments and confidentiality are a requirement for participation in this group.

Students entering the School of Social Work as freshmen are required to meet the admissions standards of the University set forth in the section titled "Admissions" in this catalog. The University accepts transferred credit from accredited associate of arts programs (see "Admissions" in this catalog). The School of Social Work also accepts those hours, but requires that all students meet the course requirements for the bachelor of social work degree. An evaluation of each transferred course is made by the University's Academic Records Office or the registrar of the School of Social Work. Any transfer credit of a social work course must be approved by the program chair. No academic credit, course waivers, or credit for field practicum shall be granted for life experience or for previous work experience.
Transfer credit from four-year institutions is accepted as long as the specified requirements for the B.S.W. degree are met. Credit for 400-level social work courses can be granted only for such courses taken in a CSWE-accredited social work program. Social work courses below the 400 level taken in programs without CSWE accreditation are evaluated for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. Because of the number of social work courses required of junior- and senior-level students, it is difficult for a transfer student to enter the School of Social Work after the first semester of the junior year and complete the program within an additional two-year period, unless the general education requirements have been completed during the first two years of study. Most transfer students attend at least one summer session.
University of Alabama students who have completed 45 semester hours or more of academic work and who wish to transfer from any other UA division to the School of Social Work must have grade point averages of 2.0 or higher for all college work.
Admission to the professional program. The priority deadline for application to enter the upper division (professional program) in social work is February 15 of each year for admission in the following fall semester. Application forms are available from the School's registrar in 106 Little Hall.
Each applicant for the professional program should have completed BSC 108 or BSC 109, PY 101, and SOC 101 (or their equivalents). A student who has completed at least two of those courses may apply if he or she is enrolled in the other course at the time of application. An applicant must have qualified for UA Core Curriculum–level math courses either by placement score or by having earned a "C" or higher in MATH 100. He or she must also have passed the writing examination and have completed at least 45 hours toward the degree with an overall grade point average of 2.25 and have an average of at least 2.5 in all social work courses taken to be considered for admission.
Spaces for students in the upper division are limited. Two faculty readers will score each application and make tentative admission decisions to the upper division by April 15. Depending on the number of applications and spaces available, some applicants who meet minimum admissions requirements may be placed on a waiting list. Students who are tentatively admitted in April must retain overall grade point averages of at least 2.25 (and 2.5 in social work courses) through the spring semester or the tentative offer of admission will be withdrawn.
No later than June 1, the faculty will also make decisions about admissions to the upper division for students on the waiting list and for those who submitted their applications after the priority application deadline.
After the completion of approximately 54 hours toward the social work degree, with the required overall and social work grade point averages, students who have been admitted to the professional program begin taking the professional courses, which are the 400-level social work courses listed in the "Program Requirements" section that follows.
Performance and retention policies. To continue in the social work professional program, students must meet the following criteria:
- Students must earn minimum grades of "C" in all required social work courses, including two social work electives.
- Students must earn minimum grades of "C" in all courses required in the major (i.e., BSC 109; COM 123; PY 101; SOC 101; PY 358; PY 372 or SOC 205; BER 345, CJ 381, PY 211, or ST 260).
- Students must maintain overall grade point averages of 2.25 or higher and 2.5 or higher grade point averages in social work courses, and they must have passed a statistics class to be eligible for field education the following fall semester and for graduation. Students on probation and/or holding grades of "I" in any social work courses may not be admitted to field education.
- Each student must notify the School's registrar of his or her intention to graduate at least one semester in advance of the expected date of graduation.

Every time I enter (or leave, for that matter) Utrecht riding to work, I pass through Wilhelmina Park. It's not big, but it's nice. The days have been cold and wet this week, but this morning it was starting to clear up.
One thing that stands out (for me, at least) in Wilhelmina Park is that beautiful curvy bike lane, enabling people to cross the park, making it a popular short cut. Very popular.
When I stopped to try and catch the light of the emerging sun, I was hit. Hit by what I will now call Cycle Chic Trains. Hundreds and hundreds of people riding in line, at quite a pace, approaching from a busy roundabout (with bike lane) and crossing the street (right of way over approaching car traffic) and steering into the park. Or exiting. Either way, the combination of the frost, the sun and these people in motion was too tempting not to take time for.
Give or take a few isolated pics, I tried to capture that with depth and off-center focus. I think they came out well. I also think these people started their work day as well as I did.

They are fun to watch. It's crazy how well they are playing right now.

This is correct.
Given the 3 low-level teams we played that won their tourney, NC A&T, FGCU and Southern, I was surprised FGCU was a 15-seed and NC A&T was a 14. FGCU played us and a bunch of other top-tier schools really tough, and beat Miami. They were (obviously) underseeded as 15.
McKnight had a monster one-handed dunk off of an alley-oop in the first half.
Also, a top-tier school with a coaching vacancy could do a lot worse than Andy Enfield. He's done just an absolutely amazing coaching job in 2 years at that school.

Birth Name: Maurice Sendak
Born: 06/10/1928
Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Death Place: Danbury, Connecticut, USA
Died: 05/08/2012
Born June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, NY, Maurice Bernard Sendak was the child of Polish Jewish immigrant parents, Sarah and Philip. Not surprisingly, the specter of the Holocaust hung over him from birth, with many of his extended family members having perished. Highly imaginative and aware of the concept of mortality from a young age, Sendak grew up fascinated by all things grotesque. The artistry of Walt Disney's "Fantasia" (1940) convinced him at 12 years old to pursue illustration as a career, and he would use his artistic eye to create F.A.O. Schwarz window displays before earning his first professional credit illustrating the 1947 textbook Atomics for the Millions. in 1948, he met Ursula No...
