Biology is the study of life. This broad definition encompasses many different independent disciplines from the study of cells and molecular biology to the study of communities and evolutionary biology. We provide our students with a solid foundation of all the fundamental fields in biology producing well-rounded scientists grounded in the liberal arts. We believe that doing science is vital to learning and to loving science. Most of our courses have accompanying laboratories with onsite faculty right there with the students using up-to-date equipment in state of the art laboratories. Our students are well prepared to take this knowledge gained in the classroom to their internships where they gain real world experience. When our students graduate we expect them to have excellent quantitative skills, writing and communication skills, and skills in scientific methodology, critical thinking and analysis which prepares them well for continuing on with their education in graduate or professional schools or entering the workforce.
Your Program
There are three degrees possible within the Biology department:
- The Biology Major (B.S.)
To complete the B.S. degree you will take at least 10 biology courses, six physical science courses and two mathematics courses in addition to an abridged liberal-arts curriculum. When you graduate, you'll be equipped for graduate or professional school. See Course descriptions.
- The Biology Major (B.A.)
To complete the B.A. degree in Biology you will take at least nine biology courses, two chemistry courses and calculus, if needed, in addition to a more expanded liberal-arts curriculum than for the B.S. When you graduate you'll be equipped for graduate or professional school. See Course descriptions.
Your Commitment
You will join a diverse group of biology students, hailing from places as faraway as Nepal and as close by as Mocksville, NC. Some students join the biology department because they want to be doctors. Others join because they're passionate about environmental science and evolution. Still others become involved because they're interested in medical technology. Whatever reason you have for joining the department, you will share with your peers a set of academic goals: to engage in scientific research, to work closely with faculty who share your passion for science and to make a difference in their world, wherever you live. It's this kind of drive and enthusiasm for science that we invite you to experience at Salem.
Your Faculty
The diverse interests of the biology faculty provide you with a rigorous, well-rounded program of biological sciences. The high caliber of the biology program courses means that you are likely to join other Salem students in performing well above average on the standardized Biology Major Field Test and earning exceptionally positive reviews from the off-campus supervisors of your internships.
Your Experience
You will be encouraged to engage in scholarly activities outside the classroom. Our Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the biological honor society, promotes and rewards excellence among our undergraduates. Top-performing biology students have consistently been active participants of the Lehman Scholars program. Faculty and students work together to arrange professional January Term and summer internships in which you will experience first-hand a job or research opportunity of interest to you. Although Salem College requires only one professional internship for completion of a bachelor's degree, you may choose, as do many biology students, to take part in multiple internships during your time here. When you graduate, you will have excellent quantitative skills, writing and communication skills and skills in scientific methodology, critical thinking and analysis, all of which will prepare you well for continuing on with your education in graduate or professional schools or enter the workforce.
Biology Major (B.A.)
The student who seeks the bachelor of arts degree with a major in biology must complete eleven courses, including eight biology courses.
Biology Major (B.S.)
The student who seeks the bachelor of science degree with a major in biology must complete a minimum of seventeen courses, including ten biology courses.
A student intending to be a B.S. biology major should meet with her advisor early and regularly to discuss a suggested program of study in order to remain on track for graduation within four years.
All students planning a major in biology are expected to finish their mathematics requirements by the end of their first year. Entering students who are confident in their quantitative skills are advised to take general chemistry (CHEM 110) and BIOL 100 & 101 in their first year. Students who have not had pre-calculus may consider taking CHEM 110 in their second year. BIOL 205 (or an equivalent course in statistics), 210 and 230 should be completed by the end of their junior year. The electives BIOL 235 and 218/219 are recommended for the junior or senior year. Most other electives are appropriate for students in their sophomore through senior years. BIOL 311 and 390 are capstone courses required in the senior year.

Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac DelaysThis contingency plan for lengthy tarmac delays is applicable to flights operated by Turkish Airlines and has been adopted pursuant to the requirements of section 259.4 of the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
For all flights, which depart from or arrive at U.S. airports, we will not allow the aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than 4 hours without an opportunity for passengers to deplane unless the pilot-in-command (PIC) determines there are safety or security reasons that the aircraft cannot leave its position on the tarmac to deplane passengers or Air Traffic Control (ATC) advises the PIC that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point would significantly disrupt airport operations.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide convenient and comfortable service to all customers in the event that a flight is delayed.
In particular, in the event of a tarmac delay, we will,
1) provide adequate food and potable water no later than two hours following gate departure or flight touch-down if the aircraft remains on the tarmac, unless the PIC determines that safety or security considerations preclude such service.
2) ensure that lavatory facilities are operable and that adequate medical assistance is available if needed.
3) notify passengers on the aircraft every 30 minutes regarding the status of the delay, including the reasons for the delay, if known.
4) provide passengers on the aircraft notification every 30 minutes that they have the opportunity to deplane, if that opportunity exists.
We have committed sufficient resources to implement this plan and we have coordinated this plan with airport authorities (including terminal facility operators, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Transportation Security Administration) at all U.S. airports that we serve including regular civilian diversion airports that are defined by DOT to be a "non-hub" or larger airport.
We will make reasonable efforts to comply with this plan in the event of a diversion to any other U.S. airport.
Pursuant to Turkish Airlines's Conditions of Carriage, for flights operated on our behalf by other carriers, the applicable contingency plan will be that of the operating carrier.

My Mutt Stories: Simon
Featured My Mutt... "Simon"
Gosh, Simon. What can I say about Simon, except that he snuck into my heart and changed me from a "big dog person" to a "dog person".
I had never liked small dogs-- I'm terrified of Chihuahuas, but I willingly embrace a 100 lb. Anatolian Shepherd. But one look at Simon, and I thought, "He's kind of cute, hmm, maybe...."
Simon was found running in some fields off in the country-- covered in foxtails with a perforated eardrum. He was four months old at the time. After thirty days, after being advertised as found in the local papers, with no one responding, he was taken into the H.A.L.O. dog program.
He went to the vet, was neutered, the foxtail was removed from his eardrum, and he was ready to go. I held my breath, wanting him to have a good home, but not wanting to lose him. I wasn't going to get another dog, after all, I had one large one and two cats already-- and he seemed so fragile, we thought that Shasta (my shepherd mix) might hurt him while playing.
Finally I took him home for a weekend, but thought that he was too young and small to play with Shasta. I was heartbroken. Then, three weeks later, Joyce asked me to try again. She had watched Shasta play with Simon, and realized that although it looked like she was very rough with him, she really wasn't. It was just dog play.
Simon is now a year and a half old, he harasses my cats, but sleeps next to them. He's a bit tougher to train than any German Shepherd mix that I've had, but I know that there are breed differences. I'm learning. He's sweet, and funny and sometimes drives me crazy, but I love him. And it's great for Shasta to have another dog to play with, too.
Now, when I go to Joyce's to volunteer or just hang out, I look at ALL of the dogs, not just the big ones, as potential pets. I even play a bit with the Chihuahuas-- seems like you can teach an old gal new tricks )
There are thousands of pets available from over 100 California rescue organizations, just waiting for your love. Find your match today! Search Adoptions

When I last decorated my house I was unsure what various colour schemes would look like on the walls, so I bought small tester pots of paint and tried out various combinations on the walls before committing to a bulk purchase of paint.
Similarly, before committing a large amount of time and resources to producing a voluminous book of photographs, I decided it would be prudent to have sample prints done first in order to test the print facility and make sure that the colours I see on my computer screen are being faithfully reproduced in print.
So here it is, my colour "tester pot" book ............

In light of the coordinated and relentless bombardment of the Obama administration against every known liberty that undergirds this constitutional republic, a sobering consensus is emerging among tyranny watchdogs that the country as we know it is already gone. Obama and his enablers in the administration, the Congress, and the courts have succeeded in painting into a corner anyone who would oppose the present course of action. One watchdog stated bluntly, "We won't be able to vote our way out of this."
The reason that the upcoming election will not correct the present state of affairs is that Obama and his ilk have already stacked the deck against any and all opposition. Open your mouth against him, and you are automatically a racist. Tell him he is wrong, and he will tar you as evil. Try to impeach him for his crimes, and he will put his vast political machine in the media, the Democratic Party, and academia to work to discredit you with every known method of character assassination available. Democrats in the Senate will refuse to act to bring decency and integrity back into the process and instead will ascribe to you every known evil known to man, including casting you as a homegrown terrorist. All of their integrity is gone. All of it. Their only goal is to shove the Obama agenda down our throats before they get ousted.
Obama has also loaded up the courts with appointees, especially in the D.C. circuit, who will take his side on all matters that come before them. And if they happen to get an attack of integrity every now and then and bump an issue up to the Supreme Court, there is always a turncoat imbecile like John Roberts who, out of the blue, will find a way to take Obama's side even if he has to make up law as he goes along.
In addition, voting in the midterm elections may be useless as well if Obama is allowed to succeed in granting amnesty, by executive order alone, to multimillions of illegal aliens just prior to the November elections. He is now in a mad dash to make sure there are enough illegals here who will somehow be allowed to vote so that Democrats cannot lose in November. They are currently bringing in enough freeloaders who will vote for Democrats regardless, enough to make the difference in dozens of House seats and even U.S. Senate seats.
And the resident lunatic of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will be out there bigtime claiming that these freeloaders are "just like Jesus." Not only is the woman nuts but she engages in blasphemy every chance she gets when a vote may be close, twisting words of scripture in a manner that one would think that the Christian Gospel is a Marxist document.
Some who are well trained and knowledgeable in the field of "abnormal psychology" are now saying that people like Obama, Pelosi, Holder, Podesta, Hillary Clinton, and Harry Reid are either certifiably nuts or pure evil, each with personality disorders that express themselves in rank narcissism that can easily turn deadly. And if one happens to have antisocial tendencies on top of it, they are incapable of feeling true empathy for anyone. They are so self-focused and self-absorbed that a genuine empathic response to other people is impossible for them. But it gets worse. So severe is this lack of capacity for empathy that they often can and do carry out acts of violence toward others, especially toward those who oppose them in any way whatsoever. Emotionally speaking, they never grew up. They are like preschoolers who throw tantrums because they didn't get their way. And the worst cases will kill other people to get rid of that opposition.
So what is there to be done if all normal courses of action have been rendered useless? Is there anything that can be done? The answer is yes, there is plenty that can be done, but it must be done outside of the normal correctives that most Americans have come to expect. Debate, impeachment, court action, and elections will no longer do the job. Thus, the solutions must come from elsewhere. That elsewhere can be described as Fourth Generation Warfare, the Stealth War, or various and sundry other names that denote a reasoned and carefully crafted new type of warfare that is not focused on guns, tanks, ammo, but on outsmarting one's enemy with tactics that aim at defanging them.
This would mean, as Mike Vanderboegh puts it, defy, resist, evade, and smuggle.

Expert FAQ: Dealing With Excess Body Hair
Many women and men struggle with excess body hair on the face or other areas of the body. But beyond being sometimes just unsightly, it can also sometimes be unhealthy.
Body Hair Can Sometimes Be Unsightly, Sometimes Unhealthy
Expert FAQ: Dealing With Excess Body Hair
How do the costs of the various procedures compare?
Though no formal studies have been conducted, laser hair removal would likely overall be less expensive. It offers permanent reduction, while temporary treatments will carry a continued cost over time. And it requires fewer treatments overall compared with electrolysis, the only other method of permanent hair removal.
For laser hair removal, the average cost to treat a small region (upper lip, chin) is $150 to $250 per treatment; a medium region (underarms, bikini) between $300 and $450 per treatment; and large regions (back, legs) approximately $1,000 per treatment.

Buehrle pitches 200 innings for 12th consecutive season
MIAMI Miami Marlins left-hander Mark Buehrle needed to pitch 5 2/3 innings Friday to reach 200 innings for the 12th consecutive season.
He took a shutout into the sixth inning against the Phillies, but that didn't keep manager Ozzie Guillen from teasing Buehrle that he was going to take him out short of the goal.
After the first out of the sixth, Guillen faked as if he was coming out, and Buehrle set the ball down.
"I told him if he came out and got me I was going to set the ball down on the mound and walk off, or I was going to throw it out to the outfield and make him chase it," said Buehrle, who pitched for Guillen for eight seasons in Chicago.

The Old Testament, written over a period from 1431 BC to 350 BC is not only a history of mankind from the creation to near the birth of Christ, but it contains over 300 prophesies of the messiah, all of which were fulfilled beginning with his birth and ending with his ascension into heaven. Now, why do you think all of those prophesies were listed throughout the Old Testament by all of those different writers from different ages and different areas?
There are two primary reasons, first, so that the messiah could be identified by them. But perhaps as important, if not more so, those fulfilled prophesies afford irrefutable proof that this was the Son of God. And they are that, irrefutable proof. Scientists have studied these incidents and report that the odds are far above the very mention of coincidental. These prophecies were written approximately between 1431 BC and 350 BC.
"Mathematically speaking, the odds of anyone fulfilling this amount of prophecy are staggering. Mathematicians put it this way:
1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 1 person fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 chance in 10 to the 157th power 1 person fulfilling 300+ prophecies: Only Jesus!" (Christian Broadcasting Network CBN)
We will discuss only a few of these prophesies and their fulfillment in this article. Following are these few with the scripture reference when it was made and the one where it was fulfilled. Read them carefully:
1. In the beginning, Genesis 3:15 tells us that God assured Satan that there would be one born of the seed of woman (Not man) who would neutralize Satan's power. Then in Galatians 4:4, Paul explains that Jesus, the Son of God was made of woman.
2. This messiah would be born of a virgin: Isaiah 7:14,
And this miraculous occurrence is described in Matthew 1:18-25.
3. He would be of the seed of Abraham (Genesis 22:15-19)
And in Matthew 1:1, we find the confirmation of this seed in Jesus.
4. He would be of the seed of Abraham's son Isaac (Genesis 21:12)
And in Luke's listing of Jesus genealogy traces it back showing that it was assuredly through Isaac. (Luke 3:23-34)
5. He would be of the seed of Isaac's son Jacob, who would later be called Israel and father of the 12 tribes. (Numbers 24:15-25) And again, in Luke's genealogy it is shown to be true (Luke 3:23-34)
6. Of the 12 tribes, Jesus would be from the tribe of Judah. (Genesis 49:10)
And from John's vision while on the isle of Patmos this is verified. (Revelation 5.5)
7. In that tribe, he would be in the family line of Jesse. (Isaiah 11:1)
And again, from Luke's account, proof of this truth. (Luke 3:23-34)
8. The lineage would continue through Jesse's son, David. (Jeremiah 23:5)
And once more, Luke's genealogy again verifies this prophecy. (Luke 3:23-34)
9. The prophet Mica prophesies the birthplace of Jesus to be that of Bethlehem. (Mica 5:2)
Matthew verifies that prophesy to be true when he announces it. (Matthew 2:1-8)
10. Jeremiah prophesies that Herod would kill the children. (Jeremiah 32:15)
And then the apostle Matthew records this occurring. (Matthew 2:16-18)
These are only ten instances, but they go on and on through over 300. Return to the top of this article and re-read the third paragraph and then try and convince anyone that these things could be coincidental.

This November's elections promise to be a big moment for marijuana on the ballot. Nevadans will vote on a regulation initiative that would establish a system of legal distribution and sales. South Dakota could become the next state to legalize medical cannabis. And several drug-policy reformers will be seeking Senate seats and governorships. But there are seeds and stems in this year's electoral bag as well, so consult your HIGH TIMES Voter's Guide carefully before heading to the polls.
Pot on the Ballot
Nevada – The state of Nevada will vote on a Regulation of Marijuana Initiative that would decriminalize marijuana for adults and create a system of legal cultivation, distribution and sales—the first in the country.
South Dakota – South Dakotans will vote on a measure to "provide safe access to medical marijuana for certain qualified persons." Should the measure pass, South Dakota will become the 12th state to legalize medical cannabis.
California – Santa Monicans will decide on a measure that would make adult marijuana use the lowest police priority. If passed, the SM Police Department would have to respond to such non-emergency crimes as littering and noise violations before adult possesion of pot.
Colorado – The organization SAFER (Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation) has championed a marijuana-legalization amendment for the 2006 ballot based on its recent success in the city of Denver. If approved, the amendment to the Colorado Revised Statutes would legalize private use and possession of one ounce or less of marijuana for adults.
Michigan – An initiative to amend the state constitution that would have put to a vote the legalization and regulation of marijuana within Michigan failed to gather the necessary signatures to qualify for the 2006 ballot, highlighting the need for dedicated marijuana-law-reform activists to get involved early and stand up for our rights.

Founder of the drug-law-reform group Efficacy, Cliff Thornton will make the wasteful War on Drugs a major issue in his campaign to become governor of Connecticut. A longtime advocate of medical marijuana, Thornton has pressured rival candidates to unambiguously declare their position on a state medical-marijuana law.
Kevin Zeese (Green Party, MD)
President of Common Sense for Drug Policy and former executive director of NORML, Kevin Zeese seeks to fill Maryland's first open Senate seat in 20 years, having already won the nomination of the Green, Libertarian and Populist parties of Maryland—the first time the three parties have nominated the same candidate.
Bernie Sanders (Independent, VT)
Tired of partisan politics? So is Bernie Sanders, the sole independent congressman in the House of Representatives. Sanders has already helped Vermont become the ninth state to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and he also sponsored the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act to protect medical-cannabis users from federal prosecution. Now he's running for a Senate seat, and he needs your support.
Steve Epstein (Libertarian Party, MA)
An attorney long featured in the HIGH TIMES legal directory and the founder of the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition, Steve Epstein passionately believes that responsible adults should have the right to consume marijuana without fear of prosecution. Epstein will attempt to enter local government with a bid for a seat on the board of selectmen in Georgetown, MA, providing an excellent example of how an individual reformer can make a difference.
Not-Friendly Candidates
Rick Santorum (Republican, PA)
Pennsylvania, you're better than this guy. Rick Santorum's running for reelection to a third term in the Senate, and the time has come to end his reign of puritanical idiocy. We're talking about a man who doesn't believe evolution should be taught in schools, but may think that gay marriage will lead to "man on dog" sex. On top of that, he favors spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the War on Drugs, and also raising penalties for drug offenses.
Donald Carcieri (Republican, RI)
In January 2006, Rhode Island became the 11th state to legalize the use of medical marijuana, but it wouldn't have if Governor Donald Carcieri had his way. The incumbent governor, currently running for reelection, vetoed a medical-marijuana bill that represented the overwhelming will of the people. The veto, born of his fear that the law would "encourage criminal activity," was kindly overridden by Rhode Island's General Assembly.
Mark Souder (Republican, IN)
Strike up the orchestra and cue Darth Vader's theme music: Mark Souder is pure evil. Creator of the Drug-Free Student Loan Amendment to the Higher Education Act, which suspends financial aid to college students convicted of drug-related offenses (but not murderers), Souder seeks reelection to Congress. An unabashed supporter of the War on Drugs, he currently chairs the House Drug Policy Subcommittee, giving him authorizing jurisdiction over the Drug Czar. Souder favors military border patrols to battle drug trafficking, random drug testing of federal employees and dangerous, genetically modified fungal sprays to combat foreign drug crops.
Jim Gibbons (Republican, NV)
With a marijuana taxation/regulation bill on the ballot for 2006, the last thing pot-smoking Nevadans want is for Jim Gibbons to become their new governor. Gibbons's voting history as a congressman shows him to be opposed to medical marijuana, in favor of random drug testing, and for a strong military presence on the US border to fight the War on Drugs.
The Chill of the People
In the last decade, voter-approved initiatives have changed the face of medical marijuana.
1996: California voters pass Proposition 215, the landmark initiative allowing patients to use, possess and cultivate medical marijuana with a physician's recommendation. On the same day, Arizona voters approve a similar but less far-reaching proposition. These seminal votes not only kick-start California's incomparable dispensary system but also inspire other states to put medical marijuana on the ballot.
1998: Voters in Alaska approve Ballot Measure 8, effectively removing state penalties for use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with written documentation from a physician.
1998: Oregon voters approve Measure 67, allowing patients with a signed recommendation from a physician to use, possess and
cultivate marijuana.
1998: Measure 692 in Washington removes state penalties for use, possession and cultivation of marijuana for patients suffering from debilitating conditions.
1999: Maine voters support Question 2, favoring the removal of state penalties for medical-marijuana use for patients with oral or written recommendation from a physician.
2000: In Colorado, Amendment 20 amends the state constitution to recognize medical marijuana and remove state penalties for those who "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana."
2000: In Nevada, 65 percent of voters approve Question 9, amending the state's constitution to recognize medical-marijuana use and removing state penalties for patients with documentation from a physician.
2004: Montana voters approve Initiative 148, allowing the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes and shielding patients and caregivers from state penalties.

The media presenter look Photo: Brendan Esposito
Kristina Keneally is resigned to the notion that her obituary, to be published sometime way in the future, will start with this sentence: "The former Premier of NSW and the first woman to hold the office, Kristina Keneally, died today."
But she hopes the next few sentences will contain these hitherto unknown details: she had a sense of humour, she was an engaging storyteller, and she had a journalist's knack of getting people to reveal interesting insights into themselves. "I don't want the rest of my life to be living under the shadow of that one title," she says. "I'm proud of what I did as Premier, but it's time to let other aspects of my personality emerge. I'd like to explore different ways of communicating."
If I stayed as a feminist theologian in the Catholic church, I would be having the same conversation with the same 200 people for the rest of my life
That's why she been making appearances in recent weeks in the Chaser team's live show called The Empty Vessel at the Cleveland St Theatre, Redfern, and why on May 12 she'll start co-hosting the Channel Ten morning show, Studio 10, as a stand-in for Ita Buttrose. Those are what she calls "baby steps" towards a new life as a media presenter.
The Premier look Photo: Nick Moir
"Ita's role in the show does seem to be one of a guru and a sage, which is somewhat intimidating, but I'll do my best to fill her significant footprint. I suppose I'll have to be authoritative, but I'm going to have to be ambidextrous, because they'll slide right from mandatory sentencing to the latest iPhone app craze that's sweeping the nation. You need that ability to go from serious to light at a moment's notice."
Last week Keneally announced she was stepping down from her job as chief executive of Basketball Australia so she could spend more time with her teenage sons. Any new role she undertakes will have to accommodate her need to be at home for dinner with the boys and her husband Ben, who is Mayor of Botany Bay. It will also need to let her pursue her causes: the Stillbirth Foundation, poverty in the third world, reform of the Catholic church and reform of the Labor party. She admits she almost gave up on the last two in recent years.
"Here are the two institutions to whom I have given nearly every ounce of my physical, emotional and spiritual energy, and almost simultaneously they have displayed massive failures in living up to their highest ideals," she says. "But I'm not going to disown either of them. I know at their core those values are still there. I know there are far more people in both institutions who are fundamentally good at heart than there are people who are failures or criminals."
Carr crossed over Photo: Simon Schluter
Over her 45 years she's become comfortable with dramatic career changes. The teenage Kristina Kerscher started as a student of journalism at a Catholic university in Ohio, then shifted to political science, then did postgraduate work in theology. She expected to become a university teacher, until "I realised if I stayed as a feminist theologian in the Catholic church, I would be having the same conversation with the same 200 people for the rest of my life.
"I didn't want to spend 40 years writing academic articles in the hope that someday, some cardinal somewhere would wake up and say 'Yes, we should make women priests'. I wanted to have a more practical impact on people's lives."
She did that through Australian politics until she lost the 2011 state election to Barry O'Farrell. Some politicians would have retired to write their memoirs, but Keneally says: "I don't want to write a book -- I'm an extravert, I like to talk to people".
Abbott crossed over
Now many of her former colleagues will see her decision to work in television as crossing over to the enemy. She sees the transition as perfectly natural. The week with Studio 10 represents "an opportunity to learn from very experienced professionals", to "put a toe in the water" and to have a little fun.
"Fun or funny are not words you'd associate with being a member of the NSW government. There are aspects of my personality that in many ways I had to suppress when I was in political life. I have a sense of humour that can find the funny things in even the most serious of circumstances, and quite frankly wisecracks and joke-making for a politician is very dangerous territory.
"Sometimes I'd be at a press conference and into my brain would come some smart alec comment which of course you have to suppress. But I'm not in politics any more and now I can do the sort of things that allow that side of my personality to emerge.
Goward crossed over Photo: Wolter Peeters
"One thing I loved about politics was that it was a way to use the media to communicate with people. For me, dealing with the media was a challenge and a place to experiment. You could be more dextrous depending on the medium you were working with. Facial expressions, voice modulation, a smile, a scowl, all communicate volumes.
"And an MP has to interview constituents to get them to tell their story. They have to be able to express empathy, create a bond of trust, and then get to the heart of what the matter is. It's a skill that's transferable."
Turnbull crossed but keeps looking back Photo: Glen McCurtayne
Rob McKnight, Executive Producer of Studio 10, said: "Studio 10 is all about a smart, fun conversation and Kristina certainly fits the bill. It's a big call to sit in Ita's seat but I'm convinced our former Premier will bring her unique insight into the topics we discuss and her terrific sense of humour. I can't wait to see how she goes."
Keneally is amused at the notion that she'll be accused of being one of those TV Blondes, apparently essential on any talk show. So will we ever see The Hairstyle again?
"When you're in the public eye you have to define yourself, or someone else will do it for you," she says. "Everything you do as a politician – your hair, the way you dress, how you laugh, what you say, all of that is scrutinised. It may or may not be fair, it may or may not be gender biased, but you have to accept that.
Richardson crossed the other way Photo: Jim Rice
"Maggie Thatcher said that she never changed her haircut because she knew if she did, people would be talking about the haircut and not about what she was saying. Unfortunately I found that even though I didn't change my hair, people were still talking about it.
"That hairstyle said Kristina Keneally Premier. It was a deliberate decision to have my hair the way I had it, and when I was no longer Premier, it was a deliberate decision to change that." So you could say that Kristina Kenneally's transformation into a "media entity" is an opportunity to let her hair down -- in more ways than one.
Keneally starts her role on Studio Ten at 8.30am on Monday May 12.
Making the transition
Politicians and media people fight all the time, but the barrier between their professions is not so much a Berlin Wall as an English Channel. A brave few have crossed it before Kristina Keneally.
Bob Carr and Tony Abbott were both writers for The Bulletin before they found their true vocations. Another former Bulletin staffer, Malcolm Turnbull, has never been able to shake off his love for crafting a finely turned sentence, and writes articles as often as he can between signing documents as Minister for Communications.
Maxine McHugh and Pru Goward worked for ABC radio and television before they went to Canberra and Macquarie Street.
In the other direction, Former treasurer Peter Costello, former Opposition leader Mark Latham and former Defence Minister Peter Reith both went on to write thoughtful newspaper columns. And of course, Graham Richardson was ALP NSW secretary, a Senator and Minister for the Environment, Arts, Sport, Tourism and Territories before he began pontificating in print and fulminating on Foxtel.

Standing on the field at the UMass Softball Complex after the University of Massachusetts softball team's 1-0 win over Quinnipiac in the home opener Wednesday, freshman shortstop Quianna Diaz-Patterson marveled at how far she's come.
"It was really fun just to be on the field," the former Amherst Regional standout said. "I used to watch the UMass team play - now I'm on the field with them."Hitting out of the No. 2 spot in the batting order, Diaz-Patterson is second on the team in hitting at .313 and leads the Minutewomen in home runs (three) and RBIs (20). Her RBI double in the third inning Wednesday produced the game's only run."You can't ask for a young kid to do more," Sortino added. "She has a plan and she finishes her at-bats."

Wildlife officers removecougars in Carson
CARSON — State wildlife officers have removed three cougars from a single location in Carson in the past month.
"They were all young animals, but unfortunately attacked livestock and farm animals and were lingering too close to residences," said Sgt. Jeff Wickersham of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Officers Tim Meyers and Gary Orr removed two cougars with the help of a houndsman in a single day, then Meyers and the houndsman killed another shortly thereafter.
"This is the same scenario we see with young cougars," Wickersham said. "They are outcompeted by more mature animals and are forced to live in more dangerous areas. After becoming accustomed to attacking and killing livestock and pets at the rural-urban interface, the situation can escalate and interaction with humans could occur. Obviously, we don't want the conflict to escalate to this point."

Do you have trouble focusing during the day or sleeping at night? Are you fraught with worry about your relationships, finances, work, and family life? Do you get little enjoyment out of life?
If you answered yes, unfortunately you are not alone...
According to The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older (18% of U.S. population). There is hope:
John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]"
However, more and more people are silently suffering with anxious behaviors such as:
- Muscle tension
- Headaches
- Insomnia/sleeping too much
- Restless feelings
- Strange thoughts
- Uncontrollable bouts of anger
- Racing heart/chest discomfort
- Trembling/nervousness
- Diarrhea
- Numbness in various parts of the body
- Feelings of fatigue and depression
- Unexplained panicky feelings
You are not invincible...
Everyone is susceptible to stress, anxiety, worry, depression, and fear. Unfortunately, Christian people often feel that they must hide their and pretend that nothing is wrong. This act in itself can make their condition much worse and more difficult to overcome. If you are battling with stress, anxiety, or depression, there is hope.
Hope in the midst of the storm...
The Bible teaches that anxiety brings a heaviness to a person's life (Proverbs 12:25). We have to keep in mind at all times, we are tripartite beings: we are spirit, we have a soul, and we inhabit a physical body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). When we accept Jesus, our spirit is born again, but our soul is merely "rescued" – it is now capable of being renewed, but it is not yet fully transformed. From the moment of our salvation, we must continually work on the transformation of our souls.
If you suffer from anxious thoughts and behaviors, here are a few suggestions to empower and strengthen you as you learn to transform your soul:
Focused Action Plan:
1. Read and meditate Isaiah 26:3. Revise the scripture and create an affirmation for daily confession.
2. Begin journal writing to keep track of your anxious episodes:
- Where were you?
- Time of day?What were you doing?
- What were you focusing on (thinking about)?
3. Observe your behavior this week. Notice how much your "overdo" personality traits (perfectionism, worrying...) influence your anxiety, stress and depression levels. Catch yourself over doing perfectionism. How does your body feel? What is our emotional state when you realize "perfect "isn't possible?
4. Get accountable. Find a professional, i.e., certified Life Coach, Counselor, Therapist, trusted Pastor who can journey with you with practical insight and tangible tools for your transformation process. For more information on my Transformation Coaching, please email me at email@example.com.
Remember, everything begins with a focused approach and plan for living a life inspired and fulfilled everyday.
For more information and FREE RESOURCES to assist you as you overcome fear, please visit www.KerriHerndon.com. On my website, you will find self-discovery tools to assist you with overcoming fear and worry to create serenity.
Father in the name of Jesus I curse depression, anxiety, stress, and pain and any trauma and or generational curses that was brought into your life. I speak a right mind over your life; I say that you have the memory of the just in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I curse the spirit of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I curse any form of trauma of rejection, rebellion, destruction, abandonment, abuse (sexual, emotional or physical), and pain associated with past repressed memories in the heart, mind, and emotions in Jesus Name.
I say that today you are learning to forgive those things which are behind you and pressing on and forward. I speak love, joy, peace, patience. I say that your joy is being restored. In the Name of Jesus, I pray Amen.

I have been trying to configure OpenLDAP in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex but the guides I find in the web are confusing for me. I have had no succes.
I think the problem is most guides assume you want to use Samba for access control and use OpenLDAP as the directory for Samba. This is not what I need. I just need a central location to store client, associates, employees, family, etc. contact information and some other objects pertaining to those persons as web-sites with configuration data, their Web Sites/Databases, etc. passwords (for the Web Sites we administer for them), etc.
Do you know of any good, simple, current and clear guide available somewhere in the Web for this?
Thank you in advance.

for John Milton and Stephen Westergan
I've only just planted my seeds,
and already I'm pulling up the harvest–
the seasons have been sped
before the shoots broke soil.
Give me time, let me wait for rain!
See, my dirt is still dry . . .
Perhaps if I stoop to pluck,
some migrant hands will bend with me.
Bright brooding wings might sing
some work song, tragic fingers help
to shake the dust from little roots
still shriveled;
if Memory serve me,
I'll serve her one day, reap her wheat
beside her daughters in some redder autumn
after damper spring–
only help me pull back these little seeds
before the coming drought still them withall.
And of what shall the wings sing?
Of the sower, of course, giver of seed
sung of before, praising tunes
that drew me to these fields
the lush crops to admire
and the pregnant fruits to taste.
I took a satchel of seeds from him
upon my back,
took fire from his lips
that put sweat on my mouth's indent
which I tasted on my tongue.
Daemon-chased and chasing sower,
who flew through the planting spilling seeds
and coaxing out of the dirt
musical wheat for baking rich breads.
The field is empty now, plow abandoned,
satchel of seed left in the rows empty.
Trees that nodded outside his cottage window
and gave shade to the stalks of wheat
drop their leaves like sighs,
bark curling with grief.
Why could not the bread he grew
nourish him? Why did you,
O Memory, quick the rising of those loaves
and fill his hungry plate with soft crusts?
Where were the other tillers who labored
beside him when his crumbs were spilt?
Where was the wheat?
O futile plowing!
Deep as the metal blade cuts,
long as the seed waits to sprout up,
gentle as the care of hands and rain,
it all came for naught.
Why delve as deep into the soil for rich loan
when scrabble on dusty rocks
feeds most empty bellies?
The textured bread from his wheat
could sop a thousand meaty stews
and still be dry, and a single bite
filled deep hunger and made one hungry still,
hungry for more of those rich loaves.
But now that hunger will not be sated
by dry crusts, though that is now all we eat.
We have new sowers now, and new bakers,
and his cottage is turned dark and empty
as our rumbling stomachs;
new sowers and bakers without wheat and bread,
though possessed of king's commission–
as though decree could feed us.
Oh, I long to smash their plows and ovens!
I will build him great statues, then,
to stand in his field as he did,
tall and proud with satchels and loaves
like his, I will build him pillars
of marble and obsidian, angelic tall!
But what needs my sower piled stones,
that will not grow even poor scrabble?
No, I will plant for him, bake for him,
make breads as textured and as rich
from wheat as lovingly planted.
I will fill bellies with food and hunger both.
And in my hands will be his
when I strew the seeds on deep-plowed dirt,
when I swing my scythe to cut down wheat,
when I bundle long stalks
and when I pull
the flowery tops apart from chaff,
when I grind the seed between stones
and knead soft elastic dough into loaves
to make soft, crusty bread.
And I will send my sower on to other fields,
still chased by daemons, still chasing them,
and together we'll catch those fiery fiends
and sit them down with us to supper.
Even now I see him, satchel and scythe,
his beard blown in autumn winds,
walking along rural lanes while I make harvest.
Even now I see him, striding ahead,
to make new fields ready for our crop.
Stephen Westergan was the instructor for my class on John Milton; he obviously had a big impact on me, both in the way he taught the class and the example he gave of living a rich life of the mind.
We didn't touch "Paradise Lost" until late in the semester; before we even read a line of Milton, we were introduced to Greek and Roman mythology, Homer and Virgil, the Old Testament, and Milton's contemporaries. We had to be prepared to meet Satan, Adam, and the vengeful God; it was a classical education compressed into a few weeks. Most classes, we sat in a circle and discussed what we had read, with Stephen sitting on the edge of his chair, fingers at his temples as he listened hard to what we were saying and guided us along.
Stephen represented the best in college teaching: he had a deep love and respect for his material, high expectations for his students, and an almost superhuman ability to listen and guide and teach. And because of his passion, we students were driven to at least not let him down, even if we struggled to rise to his expectations. Reading and understanding Milton was the most important thing in the world in those classes.
He played cello in the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra, and I'd often see him crossing the Main Street Bridge over the Fox River with his cello case and long coat. He looked the part of a Milton scholar: tall and thin, with wild red hair and beard, always wearing a rumpled suit; he could well have stepped out of the pages of Stoner, or a Renaissance salon. He had an intensity about him, as if he could barely contain all the poetry roiling about in his head, but at the same time an easy approachability.
At the time I took his class, he was still "Mr. Westergan": he hadn't finished his dissertation yet, a fact that he occasionally mentioned, like when he explained the "sympathetic fallacy" with an anecdote about receiving encouragement from the wind-blown trees outside his window when he was working on an especially tricky part. The life of an ABD instructor at a liberal arts college is tenuous, no matter how good a teacher you are, and during that year the college started interviewing for other instructors. I was one of the students who got to see these applicants–"new sowers and bakers without wheat and bread, / though possessed of king's commission"–and I was generally unimpressed, firmly a partisan for Stephen. Replace Mr. Westergan with some diploma-mill hack? That would be like scuttling the course on Milton in favor of a class on modern advertising jingles!
Things have worked out well for Stephen. He's still at St. Norbert College, with "Professor" attached to his name, and he won the Founder's Award in 2003. At RateMyProfessors, he gets a 2.2 for "easiness" (that sounds about right), and 5 for helpfulness (though I don't understand why there's no "hotness" rating–he was certainly one of the handsomest teachers at the college). It sounds like he continues to inspire students.
Alas, this poem that he inspired has some problems. The central metaphor is muddled (is he a baker? a farmer? is it harvest or planting time? and is the speaker a student or a peer?), and the pastoral form (inspired, of course, by Milton's Lycidas) feels clunky and forced. Parts of it are more than a little overwrought, and the jumble of classical and Biblical references is a tangled and unfocused mess. But as an undergraduate ode to a great teacher, and a sort of seminar paper on the classics and pedagogy, I'd give it a solid C and ask for a few revisions.

Three out of every 1,000 children born each year are diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Many of these children suffer from spasticity or increased muscle tone, making it difficult for them to move and be moved.
While there are different types of cerebral palsy, children with spastic cerebral palsy may benefit from selective dorsal rhizotomy.
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), a neurosurgical procedure, reduces the child's spasticity without changing sensation or strength.
The surgery does not cure cerebral palsy, but it can significantly reduce spasticity.
There are two groups of children who benefit from selective dorsal rhizotomy:
Patient selection at our Spasticity Clinic weighs the potential risks against the benefits, including:
Ideal surgical candidates include children who were born prematurely with a low birth weight. Generally, we do not recommend surgery for children who had diagnoses of meningitis, congenital infection, traumatic brain injuries or hereditary disorders.

Japan and the IMF
1. Thank you, Minister Shiokawa, for your kind words of welcome. It is truly an honor for me to join you today, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Japan's membership in the IMF and the World Bank.
2. The economic performance of this country over the past 50 years has been a remarkable tribute to the energy and creativity of the Japanese people. At the time Japan joined the IMF, it was still recovering from the devastation of World War II. In subsequent decades it grew and prospered, transforming itself into an industrial and technological powerhouse. Now Japan is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, and the second largest shareholder in both the IMF and the World Bank. At a time when there sometimes seems to be too much pessimism, Japan's accomplishments during 50 years of membership in the IMF should be a source of pride, and of confidence that this country has the capacity to respond to the challenges of the future.
3. These achievements have naturally enabled Japan to play an increasingly important part in world economic affairs, and particularly in the IMF. Japan has shown leadership in shaping the Fund's policies, especially on relations with low-income countries, crisis management, and measures to strengthen the international financial architecture. The IMF is fortunate to have Shigemitsu Sugisaki, a former senior official of the Ministry of Finance, as Deputy Managing Director. Moreover, Japan is the largest provider of resources for lending by the IMF's Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility, and for technical assistance and training through its Administered Account with the Fund. These resources represent a wise investment for Japan, to help build a more peaceful and prosperous world. Japan has a clear interest in open markets, free trade, and international financial stability-objectives which lie at the heart of the IMF's mandate.
4. I am confident of Japan's intention to play a continuing leadership role in the IMF's response to the challenges of a new millennium. Above all, there is need to define a policy concept for one world—one that promotes broadly shared growth, respects environmental sustainability, values the richness and diversity of the human experience, and helps to fight world poverty. Japan's own experience demonstrates that integration into global trading and financial system is crucial for sustained growth. But we need to guide and shape the process of globalization, to ensure that it is more inclusive and to promote a better balance of risks and benefits. This requires appropriate local, national, and regional institutions, and strong international cooperation. I am convinced that the IMF can best contribute to this process by fulfilling its core responsibilities:
5. Despite the terrible shock of the terrorist attacks on the United States one year ago, global economic growth has resumed. And I think it was important for this purpose that the membership of the IMF came together last November in Ottawa to define a collaborative approach to strengthen the global economy. Although growth prospects have weakened somewhat in the United States and Europe, our assessment is that the recovery will continue. But there are still risks and uncertainties, related especially to regional political tensions, oil prices, and developments in international financial markets. What is required now above all is strong leadership from the advanced economies, to bolster investor confidence and help sustain and strengthen the recovery.
6. There are welcome signs that Japan may at last be emerging from recession. But the consensus among forecasters is that the recovery will be modest, heavily dependent on external demand and, in particular, linked to economic developments in the United States. Rapid US economic growth over the past decade has served the global economy well, but it has also contributed to a rising current account deficit and concerns about the possibility of sharp and destabilizing movements in capital flows and exchange rates. Much of the solution must lie in policies to increase national savings in the United States. But it is also crucial for Europe and Japan to be more open to structural change in their own economies, so that they can do a better job of unlocking self-sustained growth. Restoring a growth performance that corresponds to Japan's demonstrated potential demands nothing less than an integrated policy approach, based on decisive restructuring of the banking and corporate sectors and macroeconomic policies designed to bring an end to deflation. Prime Minister Koizumi deserves strong support for his commitment to carry through the structural reforms needed to restore confidence in the Japanese economy and foster sustained growth and job creation.
7. Japan is a major force in the world economy, but its influence is perhaps even more decisive within the East Asian region. Following Japan's example, other countries in East Asia have used integration into the global economy successfully to create new and expanded opportunities. They have benefited from strong trade and investment linkages with the United States and Europe and within the region, including direct investment and bank lending from Japan. This approach has brought dramatic progress in raising standards of living and reducing poverty.
8. The Asian financial crisis of 1997/98 was therefore a particularly wrenching experience. It exposed weaknesses in domestic policies and institutions, and led to a process of reform that has reduced external vulnerability and revitalized growth prospects, most notably in South Korea. But the crisis also revealed risks and uncertainties in global financial markets, and in the arrangements of the international community for crisis prevention and management. It was only natural that this gave rise to critical debate about the process of globalization, the reform of the international financial architecture, and the role of IMF. And while we have not reached the end of the debate, the lessons of the Asian crisis have already led to many important changes in the IMF's policies and internal culture.
9. I am convinced that these reforms have helped to make the international financial system more resilient today than it was before the Asian crisis. But recent experience should also make us even more humble: the fact that it was not possible to avoid the current difficulties in Latin America suggests that we still have a lot to learn.
10. In particular, we must draw firmer conclusions about the indispensable role of sound institutions and good governance for sustained growth and financial stability. And equally, we must recognize that the social dimension is an essential part of any economic reform strategy. But the IMF cannot impose solutions in these areas. To resolve home-grown problems, no external advice, however sound, and no amount of external financing can substitute for self-responsibility and political cohesion in a society. This is true, not least, because there is no single economic and social model that can meet the needs of every nation in the world. Indeed, I believe that some competition among systems is healthy for the global economy. But whatever model a country chooses, it should be guided by the spirit of international cooperation, and thus be mindful of how its actions affect other countries.
11. In recent months the Enron collapse and, even more, the WorldCom scandal have also made it clearer than ever that we must devote as much attention to risks and vulnerabilities arising in the advanced countries, as we do to problems in emerging markets and developing countries. The broad discussion and legislative response in the areas of accounting and corporate governance that has gotten underway in the United States is welcome. But I also think that the international community as a whole should take up these issues, as part of a broader effort to reduce excessive volatility in international capital flows. Here I see a need for intensified collaboration among standard-setting bodies, the IMF and World Bank, Asian regional institutions, and the Financial Stability Forum. I would encourage the responsible institutions to concentrate on refining accounting standards; on enhancing corporate disclosure, including off-balance-sheet activities; and on better aligning management incentives with shareholder objectives, to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest. At the same time, it will be important to resist the temptation to over-regulate. The willingness of entrepreneurs to experiment and take risks is one of the essential characteristics that makes markets a force for greater prosperity, higher employment, and better standards of living. I trust that these will continue to be guiding principles for the process of regulatory reform in Japan.
12. IMF surveillance and crisis prevention will always be our first line of defense in dealing with external shocks and vulnerabilities. But we are also working to strengthen the IMF's capacities for crisis resolution. An indispensable part of this work program is the ongoing effort to make our policies on access to IMF financing clearer and more predictable. But recent experience has also demonstrated the need for better ways to deal with cases in which sovereign debt has become unsustainable—to restructure debt more promptly and in a more orderly manner, while protecting asset values and creditors' rights. I do not want to be misunderstood—it remains our intention to work as long as possible, and as far as possible, with voluntary, market-oriented solutions. But our experience shows that more is needed to deal with the most difficult cases. We are contributing actively to the effort to promote the use of collective action clauses in debt contracts. But I also remain convinced that the proposal of IMF Management, for a statutory Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism, is essential to fill a major gap in international financial arrangements—and I would therefore urge the IMF's shareholders to accelerate their consideration of the SDRM.
13. Asian countries have rightly embraced regional economic integration as a powerful way to take advantage of the benefits of globalization and enhance crisis prevention. I view intensified regional economic and financial integration not as a contradiction, but as an important complement to stronger global cooperation and governance. And having spent much of my life involved in the process of European integration, and having seen how much it helped to enhance wealth and stability in Europe, I would strongly encourage Asian countries to continue along this path. The finalization of the expanded swap network among the ASEAN+3 countries was a welcome development, which I see as complementary to financial assistance from the IMF for members undertaking necessary economic reforms. And I can assure you that the IMF stands ready to assist in the implementation of the new swap network, as well as the further development of regional economic surveillance, trade, and financial cooperation.
14. During my first two years as Managing Director of the IMF, I have welcomed the ambition and determination of Japan and other Asian member countries to improve the functioning of the international financial system. It is important for countries in this region to participate actively in the initiatives already underway, like the work on standards and codes, and the Financial Sector Assessment Program, and help them reach their full potential. And it is just as important to search for new ways to make the global economy more equitable and efficient. Today it is clearer than ever that diversity in cultures, and in economic and social models, is an indispensable resource for the people of the world. I count on the creativity of Japan to help make the most of the unique spirit of cooperation in the IMF, and guide us productively through another 50 years.

Leather Cable-Knit Dress
Leather and cable knit don't usually coexist. But five women cozy right up to this Tommy Hilfiger dress.
CEO, the Wall Group Agency, a PR firm
Wall finds herself at the intersection of fashion and function. "I have to be business-appropriate," she says. "But I represent so many fashion stylists, there's also an edge to what I wear. Sometimes I cheat and ask the stylists what they think." Wall kept the dress simple with Louis Vuitton boots and Céline cuffs—and added a twist with a bold hairstyle. "I saw this pompadour on Instagram."
"Cuffs, like these by Céline, give your arms a finished feeling when you aren't wearing sleeves."
"The Louis Vuitton boots have a little bit of a '60s feeling that I like."

Evo Magazine, however, recently had the opportunity to slide behind the wheel of the limited-production Aston Martin supercar. In what it claims to be a world-exclusive, Evo not only got to drive the One-77, but it did so along some incredible roads in North Wales.

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with some best practice for setting up a new print server and all of the individual queues.
I have some questions regarding setting up the print queues, for example should I prefix the port names with IP_10.x.x.x etc? or just leave the port names 10.x.x.x
Any feedback regarding best practice for print servers on windows server 2008 is appreciated.
Thank you very much, Nick119

I see, it functions ok, Maybe improve the UI of it so its more graphical and looks less like a dos prompt and it would be ok. Is the password and username hard coded on the file? To me if the UI had a modern application design it would be better. The Dos prompt could do with some ajax that shoots off the command on keydown of the enter key though so it better resembles an actual dos prompt. Maybe a tabbed interface would work best with each take being a new page housing more features. Said page could then have additional links to various functions related to that page. Just my advice though, and you could just use CSS3 instead of images with some small ajax for the dos prompt and it would still be a single file application. If you want I could design a simple UI real fast and post it.
