It's always a good idea to keep safety in mind when skiing or snowboarding. No one wants to get hurt, regardless if it is a minor or major injury.
Robert Cabry, a team physician for the U.S. Figure Skating, Association, has some safety tips for snowboarders
Keep in mind that more than half of all snowboarding injuries occur with beginners, especially their first time out.
When you snowboard, your feet are fixed into non-release snowboard bindings and the board is narrow, so falls are going to happen, especially for the novice. The majority of snowboarding injuries involve the upper extremity and ankle, but serious injuries are rare.
The most common injury occurs to the wrist. This is because as the snowboarder loses balance and falls on an outstretched hand. This leads to sprains and even fractures. A better way to fall would be to land on the elbows – at least they can take more impact than the wrist and hand.
Ankle most common snowboard injury
Ankle injuries are the next most common and usually occur with a crash, especially after a jump which combines impact with a twist. These common injuries occur more often in experienced snowboarders because they take more risk.
The injury rate has decreased with the use of the hard shell boot. Although the ankle injuries are decreased, the stiffer boot can lead to more knee injuries. The good news is that knee injuries in snowboarders are less common and much less severe than in skiers. The beginner should stick to the softer boot, which will allow for more control of the board.
Conditioning very important
Snowboarding is a sport, and like other sports, we need to be prepared and properly conditioned. Snowboarding requires core strength and balance, so it's important to focus on this when working out at the gym. Leg strength and aerobic conditioning will also reduce the risk of injury.
Before hitting the slopes, warm up those muscles so they will better handle the impact. Although wrist guards might not look cool, they might just save you from serious injury. There are 100,000 wrist fractures a year among snowboarders.
Wear a helmet
Helmets are also critical equipment for the snowboarder. Crashes, collisions and loss of balance can all cause serious head injury. Protect the skull and protect the brain. Wear your helmet at all times when boarding.
The lesson here: use some caution and be aware of safety. Riding the can be great fun, so don't let it be cut short. Be smart, be prepared and enjoy.

Samson Koletkar is an Indian Jew. He is also "the only Indian Jewish stand-up comedian" known in the States, and frequently performs in the Bay Area. "Some of the questions people like to ask me when I say I am Jewish is: Really? Are you really Jewish? Were you born Jewish? Are both your parents Jewish?" Koletkar says in a striking Bombay accent during his well-received performance in the Mahatma Moses comedy tour. "Was I born Jewish? No. I was born a baboon. And as I evolved, I realized I am better than everybody!" he rolls his eyes with a resigned chuckle. Weary sarcasm aside, though, Koletkar highlights the particular grievances of being a minority within a minority—and the eternally debated question: Who is a Jew?
"The story of Jews in India is somewhat of a well-kept secret," begins the introduction of Jews in India, a book of fifteen academic essays on this little-known element of the Jewish diaspora. The intro continues, "Indian Jews remain peripheral to both Indian and Judaic studies." They also remain peripheral to the shared culture of the larger Jewish world. Within India itself, Indian Jews have been largely insulated from outside influences throughout India's complex history. Their small numbers may have helped shield them from persecution, as they were neither very prominent—nor very threatening—as a religious community, though many Jews (such as poet and critic Nissim Ezekiel) have contributed to India's cultural legacy.
The largest Jewish community in India is the Bene Israel—a Marathi-speaking people found in the enclaves of Bombay. They are descendents of persecuted Jews from Galilee, mostly oil pressers, who were left stranded on Indian shores by a shipwreck around the 2nd century BCE. Marathi speakers call them the Shanawar Tali, or "Saturday oil-pressers," as they did not work on Saturdays in accordance with Judaic law. For thousands of years, the Bene Israel continued to keep the Sabbath, abided by kosher laws, circumcised their males, and kept the Hebrew language alive in religious practice—though it mainly survived through oral tradition. The Bene Israel's rituals and rites are very particular—for example, one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Jews in India is in Alibag, where a cleft rock with wheel-marks is believed to have been the rock upon which the Prophet Elijah ascended to heaven on his chariot. Every year, the Bene Israel make this pilgrimage, light candles, and sing songs in Marathi about the Judaism, about the world they had left thousands of years ago.
After the founding of Israel, many Indian Jews emigrated "back" to their religious homeland. By the 1960s, many of them perceived racism in the Israeli state's lack of official recognition for their community—as if the religious-state authorities didn't accept them as "really Jewish." In response to these concerns, the Israeli Rabbinate declared in 1964 that the Bene Israel are "full Jews in every respect," a public validation of their Jewish authenticity. Today in Israel there are 70,000 Indian Jews, mostly centered around Haifa. This has left barely 5,000 Jews scattered around India.
India's already small Jewish population has declined over the years since emigration to Israel began. Yet, in an unexpected way, they've become perhaps more entwined with global conversations about Jewishness and Jewish identity. Over the past twenty years, it's become popular with some American Jews to travel to India in order to "educate" the remaining Bene Israel about the halakha, Jewish history, the Talmud, and texts written long after their separation from the global network of the Jewish world. Cradled in their Hindu host-culture, Indian Jews reconcile both their cultural situation and their religious piety—continuing ancient traditions that are not practiced in more text-oriented Judaism. Using green spices instead of dried spices on Passover, for example—or breaking coconuts and offering flowers and fruit upon Elijah's rock. The oral tradition and isolation from the rest of the Jewish world inform a particular type of piety, which American Jews (apparently led by Hillel and the American Jewish World Service) have recently decided to address and "reconnect" to a perceived mainstream Judaism. There's a missionary quality to the American Jewish orgs' enthusiasm for teaching Indian Jews about the contemporary history and current practices of mainstream Judaism, including an emphasis on the written word.
Rabbi Hyim Shafner, an American rabbi based in St. Louis, spent several years in the mid-90s with the Bene Israel, having been appointed by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to act as a "community rabbi" and resource for the Jews of India (some of whom, like the Bene Israel, have no tradition of rabbis at all). He wrote of his experience working with the Bene Israel:
The Jews of India are not like Western Jews, who need convincing that religion is relevant and meaningful. In India almost everyone is religious in some way, and the Jews of India just want to know how to observe, not why.
After remarking on the mysticism of "the East" ("for peoples…in the East, the spiritual and physical worlds are perceptibly and intimately intertwined"), Rabbi Shafner also chronicles some of the theological challenges generated in the Indian setting, such as the question often posed to him: "Do we Jews believe in reincarnation?" He writes:
The answer I must give them, … was not a complex one drawing on Kabbala or the Talmud, but rather, a clear, 'no, we Jews do not believe in reincarnation.' Reincarnation is perhaps the central tenant [sic] of Hinduism, the Bene Israel's host culture. The Bene Israel work hard to be separate from their polytheistic Hindu neighbors while still living integrated among them. Knowing full well that much of Kabbala, philosophy, and even Midrash does accept the notion of reincarnation, I tried to muster a definitive 'No!'
Rabbi Shafner—and those American Jews participating in an organized trip to India—are guests in an Indian Jewish setting, though they may assume or represent a kind of "mainstream" Jewish authority or knowledge. When Indian Jews are part of a diaspora, though, such as in the United States or Israel, the question of their connection to the "story of the Jews" comes to the fore in a much different way. What about minorities within the minority, whose lives and histories were so far removed from Europe and the Jewish world for so long, whose experiences were largely untouched by anti-Semitism or religious persecution? How does Jewish identity manifest itself without those connections to the "Jewish story" as most of us commonly understand it—the holocaust, Israel, the Ashkenazic history and cultural influence?
My interviewees in New York, members of an Indian-American Bene Israel community, have some answers to this question. One, who asked to remain anonymous (I'll call him Ezekiel), is a twenty-four year old Indian-American Jew, born and raised in Brooklyn and part of an Ashkenazi community near Crown Heights. Ezekiel explained it this way: "It doesn't matter whether it [the Holocaust] was in Europe or anywhere else, it does not matter—the point is that it happened, and we are Jewish brothers. And it was a crime against humanity…all Jewish history is a part of my own history. I am a part of the nation [of Israel] as much as I am Indian."
But what of the ways in which American Jews, and the broader American public, may perceive—or fail to perceive—Ezekiel's Jewishness? Does the visibility of his Indian-ness in this American setting interfere? "Obviously, I look Indian, and I am an Indian Jew. But I am also Jewish, and that is cultural too. It doesn't matter," Ezekiel told me when I asked about race. "A Jew is a Jew. Of course, there are people who make you feel like you are not 'really' Jewish, or 'Jewish enough.' But there are always those people in any community. We follow the Torah, go to temple, we follow all the mitzvot [613 Judaic commandments], we keep kosher. It doesn't matter what others say. I know what I am."
Romiel Daniel is an Indian-born rabbi, and president of a mostly Ashkenazi synagogue in Queens. When asked about discrimination from other Jews in the US, he had an interesting response: "We want to integrate within mainstream Judaism, not assimilate." Rabbi Daniel also founded the Indian Jewish Council (IJC)—because, as he said in a 2008 interview with The Jewish Press, "there was nothing in place for [Indian Jews] to celebrate our culture, rituals and traditions." He emphasizes that Indian Jewish rituals date back over 2000 years (surviving more or less in isolation), and are very different than Sephardic or Ashkenazi rituals. He implores "mainstream Judaism" to learn about these different—but equally important—cultural practices.
There is no binding, formal collective of Indian Jews in New York—though there is the IJC, and a rented synagogue on 12th street that occasionally opens up for worship and lectures. I've interviewed and spoken informally with ultra-Orthodox Indian Jews, who are integrated into Sephardic communities. I've spoken to a Hasidic Jew of partial Indian (Bene Israel) origin. I've talked with people of Indian descent who have recently converted through conservative rabbis, and those who dismiss those converts for not having gone through an Orthodox conversion. Some are Zionists; some are not.
There seems to be an element of elasticity with Indian Jews, in contrast to other diasporic populations such as the Yemenite, Ethiopian or Persian Jews— a seemingly individual integration into Jewish communities of their choice rather than holding on to a history of specific practices, or any tightly clustered collectivity. There are kosher Indian restaurants on Lexington Avenue, such as Shalom Bombay Glatt Kosher Restaurant or Madras Mahal, exclusive internet groups and forums, now mostly transitioned to Facebook groups (generally open only to members of the Bene Israel diaspora), a few cultural organizations. But generally, perhaps due to lack in numbers or resources, it seems this community is more or less bound by word-of-mouth connections, and eager to rejoin the larger Jewish world—at the risk of losing an ancient set of traditions, often dismissed by their co-religionists as "outdated," though some–like Rabbi Daniel, argue that they are worth preserving in integration with a more mainstream sect.
In many cases, social tensions about identity, race and the like are not explicitly expressed in conversation. Oftentimes, grievances are written about in literature, manifested in art and performance—as with Samson Koletkar's humor: "Are my parents Jewish? [other Jews often ask]. No, my mother is a Christian, and my father is a Muslim, and they hated each other so much, they decided to make me Jewish!" He shakes his head, and extends the mimicry of such suspicious questioning by directing it at Biblical figures. "[Would you go to Abraham and say] Are you really Jewish? Were you born Jewish? Are both your parents Jewish?" Obviously, the Biblical Abraham wasn't "born Jewish" and neither were his parents. "So according to that logic, there are no Jews in the world," he concludes, and throws up his harms, almost muttering an "oy!".
His point is well taken: the question of identity is complex, and inconclusive. It is at once more complicated than it looks on the surface, and, paradoxically, at times far simpler than it sounds. When Rabbi Daniel's wife, Noreen, was asked in an interview, "What might surprise our readers about Indian Jews?" she responded aptly, and anecdotally: "The first surprise would be that there are Indian Jews."

We know the colorblocking thing is very in right now, but some of us are a wee bit nervous about breaking up our body with bright swatches of color. It just seems like it could draw attention in an unflattering way, you know? So we're dipping our toe into the trend - quite literally - with these Piraya Sandals ($79) by Boutique 9. We'll always take a risk on footwear, and these actually look comfortable.

Police are still looking for two thieves after arresting three men suspected of dealing in stolen museum artefacts.
21:29, UK, Saturday 24 November 2012
Greek police have solved a museum robbery that took place in February after a sting operation netted three suspects and recovered dozens of archaeological artefacts.
The three Greek men were arrested at a hotel in the city of Patras after one of them tried to sell a Bronze Age gold ring for 300,000 euros (£243,000) to an undercover officer posing as a potential buyer.
Officers were then dispatched to a village near Olympia, where they found the remaining artefacts buried inside a sack in a field.
"The discovery and arrest of the perpetrators of the robbery and the recovery of the stolen items are a great success," Culture Minister Costas Tzavaras said in a statement.
The stolen treasures included a 3,300-year-old gold ring, a bronze statuette of a victorious athlete, a 2,400-year-old oil jar, clay lamps, bronze tripods and miniature chariot wheels, as well as dozens of idols of charioteers, horses and bulls.
In February, two armed robbers made off with nearly 80 artefacts from a museum dedicated to the ancient Olympic Games. Police had described them as "amateurs" who had turned up at the wrong museum.
A female guard who confronted them said they had been looking for a pair of golden wreaths, which were not kept in that particular collection.
Greece is rich in archaeological heritage, which has led to museums being targeted by antiquity smugglers for decades.
But the financial crisis rocking the country has led to hundreds of staff layoffs among archaeologists and guards, leaving museums vulnerable to theft.
The Olympia robbery badly embarrassed Greece at the time. The then culture minister offered to resign but was allowed to keep his post.

NetBeans 6.1 Draft: Creating a Rails 2.0 Weblog in 10 Minutes
By divas on Feb 29, 2008
April 8, 2008 Update: The final version of this tutorial is available at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/ruby/rapid-ruby-weblog.html.
This is an early draft of a NetBeans IDE 6.1 tutorial in which you use the Ruby support in the NetBeans IDE to create and run a simple Rails 2.0 web application. This tutorial is an update of an earlier blog, which was written for NetBeans IDE 6.0. A final version of this tutorial will be published at www.netbeans.org when final NetBeans IDE 6.1 is released.
Tutorial Requirements
This tutorial requires the following technologies and resources.
- MySQL database server.
- NetBeans IDE 6.1 development build with Ruby support. A beta release is available from here.
Creating the Ruby on Rails Project
You begin by creating a Ruby on Rails project. By default, the application is created in a directory structure that conforms to the Ruby on Rails project conventions for applications.
- In the NetBeans IDE, choose File >
New Project.
- Select Ruby from the Categories list and Ruby on Rails Application from
the Projects list. Click Next.
rubyweblogin the Project Name text box. Accept all the other default settings on this page.
- Click Next.
- Select Specify Database Information Directly.
- Leave the Database Name text box blank, the IDE
will create default development, test, and
production database names based on the project name.
- Type root in the User Name text box.
- If the root user requires a password, type the password
in the Password text box.
- Click Finish to create the new project.
The IDE creates the project directory with the same name as your project and opens the database.yml file in the editing area. Notice that the default database name for the development configuration is rubyweblog_development.
- Click the small x button in the database.yml tab to close
the file.
Creating the Scaffold
This weblog application is built around the Post model, which stores instances of blog posts. Here you use the Rails scaffold generator to create the model and its controller, as well as the index (list), show, new, and edit views.
The generator also creates a migration file for creating the model's database table, and creates unit test and fixture stubs for writing model tests. Last, the generator adds the map.resources :posts declaration to the routes.rb file to create named routes that are mapped to the URL paths for the controller actions.
In the Projects window, right-click the rubyweblog project node and choose Generate.
In the Rails Generator dialog box, select scaffold from the Generate drop-down list. Make sure that you select scaffold, and not use the default selected value (controller).
Postin the Model Name text box.
- Type
title:stringin the Attribute Pairs text box, as shown in the following figure, and click OK.
The Output window lists the files that the scaffold generator creates and updates.
Creating the Database
In this section, you use a Rake task to create the rubyweblog_development
database. Then you use the
001_create_posts.rb migration file
to add the Posts table to the database.
- In the Projects window, right-click the rubyweblog project node, and choose
Run Rake Task > db > create.
Rake creates the MySQL database for the development configuration in the database.yml file.
- In the Projects window, expand Database
Migrations and expand migrate.
Double-click the 001_create_posts.rb node to open the file in the editing area.
The file opens to show the
self.upmethod, which creates a table called posts, and the
self.downmethod, which tears the posts table down, as shown in the following code sample.
Code Sample 1: Code for
class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :posts do |t| t.string :title t.timestamps end end def self.down drop_table :posts end end
Note that the create_table method adds an id column by default, and that the timestamps method adds the created_at and updated_at columns to the database table.
In the Projects window, right-click the rubyweblog node and choose Migrate Database > To Current Version.
This action updates the the database to include the posts table. The Output window indicates when the migration is complete.
Running the Application
In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node and double-click
routes.rbto open it in the editor. Find the comment:
# map.root :controller => "welcome"
- Add the following line under the comment.
map.root :controller => "posts"
In the Projects window, expand the Public node, right-click index.html and choose Delete.
index.htmlpage displays a default Welcome page, which is not what you want. By deleting
index.html, Rails looks in
routes.rbto figure out what page to display.
- Choose File > Save All from the main menu.
Click the Run Main Project button in the toolbar.
This action starts the WEBrick server, which is part of the Ruby on Rails framework, and launches the web browser.
If you are using a server other than WEBrick, you might need to enter
http://localhost:3000in the browser's address text box and press Enter.
Click the New post link to display the second page of the application.
Enter a title and click Create.
Click the Back link to return to the list of posts.
Doing More: Adding Another Table Column
Here you add a body column to posts table to hold the text for each blog entry.
Right-click the Database Migrations node and choose Generate. In the Rails Generator dialog box, type
AddBodyToPost body:textin the Arguments text box and click OK.
The IDE creates the versioned migration script
002_add_body_to_post.rb. The file opens to show the
self.upmethod, which adds a body column, and the
self.downmethod, which removes the column, as shown in the following code sample. Notice how the generated code extracted the table name from the first argument AddBodyToPost.
Code Sample 2: Code for
class AddBodyToPost < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up add_column :posts, :body, :text end def self.down remove_column :posts, :body end end
Right-click the rubyweblog node and choose Migrate Database > To Current Version.Alternatively, right-click in the source file and choose Run File from the pop-up menu.
- In the Projects window, expand Views and expand
- Double-click edit.html.erb to open the file in the
editing area.
Add the statements shown in bold in the following code sample.
Alternatively, place the cursor before the
 tag for the Title and drag the mouse to the position after the paragraph's ending
 tag, then press Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow to duplicate the lines. Replace Title with Body and replace f.text_field :title with f.text_area :body.
Code Sample 3: Adding the Body to the Edit View

Editing post
 <%= error_messages_for :post %> <% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
 Title
 <%= f.text_field :title %>

 Body
 <%= f.text_area :body %>

 <%= f.submit "Update" %>
 <% end %> <%= link_to 'Show', @post %> | <%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
- Double-click new.html.erb to open the file in the
editing area.
Add the statements shown in bold in the following code sample. Alternatively, use Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow to duplicate the Title paragraph and edit the duplicated code as described in Step 5.
Code Sample 4: Adding the Body to the New View

New post
 <%= error_messages_for :post %> <% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
 Title
 <%= f.text_field :title %>

 Body
 <%= f.text_area :body %>

 <%= f.submit "Create" %>
 <% end %> <%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
- Double-click show.html.erb to open the file in the
editing area.
Add the statements shown in bold in the following code sample. Alternatively, use Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow to duplicate the Title paragraph as described in Step 5, change Title: to Body:, and change @post.title to @post.body.
Code Sample 5: Adding the Body to the Show View

 Title: <%=h @post.title %>

 Body: <%=h @post.body %>
 <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %> | <%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
- Choose File > Save All.
Return to the browser and click the New Post link to see how Ruby recognizes the new body column.
Create a few more blog entries.
Doing More: Validating Input
Here, you add code to the Post class to ensure that the users provide values for both the title and the body fields.
- In the Projects window, expand the Models node and double-click post.rb
to open the file in the editor.
Open up a line inside the Class definition, type vp, then press Tab.The IDE replaces the vp trigger with the following code template.
validates_presence_of :attribute
- Type title, :body. The code should look like the
following statement.
validates_presence_of :title, :body
Run the application, click New Post, and click Create.The application now reports that the title and body cannot be blank.
Doing More: Making the List Look More Like a Blog
Expand Views > posts and open
index.html.erb,which is used to show the list of blog entries. Delete the
 and
 tags and replace them with the following code that is shown in bold.
Code Sample 6: Code for

The Ruby Blog
 <% @posts.each do |post| %>
<%=h post.title %>

<%=h post.body %>
 <%= link_to 'Permalink', post %>
 <% end %>
 <%= link_to 'New post', new_post_path %>
For each instance of a
postaction, this code produces a title, body, and Permalink.
Notice that the second parameter for link_to is post. You might remember that when you generated the scaffold, the generator added a map.resources :posts declaration to the routes.rb. The resources method generates named routes for the Post model, one of which is post. The post named route produces the same result as passing :action => 'show', :id => post to the link_to method. The post id is passed in the URL. When you click the Permalink link, look at the URL in the address bar. You should see a URL similar to http://localhost:3000/posts/1.
To see all the named routes for a project, right-click the rubyweblog project node and choose Run Rake Task > routes. The Output window shows the route list. The first column shows the named route, the second and third columns show the HTTP verb and URL that are passed in the request, and the last column shows the controller and action that will be called. To learn more about using named routes see the Rails API for the ActionController:Resources class.
Save the changes and run the application to see the new interface for the Post model.
To display the blog with the most recent entry first, edit the code that you just added to reverse the sort order by adding a call to the
.reversemethod, as shown below.
<% @posts.reverse.each do |post| %>
- Save the file and refresh your browser to see the list displayed in reverse order.

OpenSolaris Key Management Framework
By wyllys on Mar 01, 2006
OpenSolaris Key Management Framework
Just today I unveiled a new (and my first) OpenSolaris project - Key Management Framework (KMF). We are trying to make it easier to develop PKI applications and manage PKI objects (X.509 certificates, keys, CRLs, etc). The project has been under development for some time now and we will start dumping our documentation and (eventually) code on the OpenSolaris site for comment in the coming weeks/months.
So, if you are interested, join our discussion list and send comments.

Doctors under contract with California's prisons sterilized at least 148 female inmates from 2006 to 2010 without required state approvals, the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.
Former inmates and prisoner advocates maintain that prison medical staff coerced the women, targeting those deemed likely to return to prison in the future.
But prison doctors have denied pressuring inmates, saying instead that the procedure empowered the women who received it and helped to protect women at risk in future pregnancies.
One doctor said her staff worked to find ways around state prohibitions, which they felt were unfair to female inmates.

Smaller Christmas hampers will go out this year, unless more people donate to the Christmas Hamper Program.
About 10,000 kilograms of food has been donated, about six tonnes less than by this time last year.
The hamper program is a joint effort of the Salvation Army and the Loaves and Fishes food bank to help the less fortunate over the holiday season.
Last year the program handed out 2,300 hampers containing a variety of canned and other non-perishable foods for singles and families on limited incomes.
More than 2,000 people and families are expected to sign up for hampers this year, and organizers now face the issue of how to meet the need with limited donations.
"We'll have to reduce the amount of food that goes into each hamper," said Jim Duddridge, program spokesman.
"We've already started that."
Volunteers are dividing up donated food into bags to make the hampers. How much food goes into a bag depends whether it's for a single or a family, and the size of the family.
"For each bag, we have set articles of food that go into it (and) we have already cut back a bag with say, three cans of beans to two, and three boxes of Kraft Dinner down to two," Duddridge said.
Donations are down more than 37 per cent from last year.
Last year was a banner year for donations, and "I don't know whether people are slow to get going this year, or what, but it's really affecting us."
Food and cash donations are accepted at most major supermarkets in Nanaimo, or at Hamperville, in the old Madill Building, 2560 Bowen Rd., Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 250-751-9780 or email email@example.com for information.

The second address was removed from that account and a new account has been created for that address. The user has been given send-as permission and has been set as a delegate for the second account.
The second account was logged into and test messages were successfully sent to several destinations, both internally and externally.
The Problem:
The user who needs to send as the second account receives the error message
"You do not have permission to send to this recipient" for any test message, including those to the same recipients as were used in the first test.
There is nothing in the system logs on the Exchange machine to throw any light onto this and I can't think of what else to try. It makes no difference whether this is tested via Outlook 2003 or 2010 or OWA. Other accounts used to and for send-as work fine with the same setup.

I have a ASUS EPC 1015CX with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed using wubi alongside Windows 7. It worked perfectly after installing except that the supported screen resolution was only 800*600 instead of 1024*600. The specifications of the 1015CX device can be found here
I tried installing additional drivers which was Broadcom for wireless and Cedarview-drm. By this time there was no display coming up after the boot. I could hear a voice and then the letters I typed got pronounced correctly. So, I guessed the issue has to be with the graphic terminal. I tried repair broken packages in the menu and booted and the display is now at 1024*600. But, if I restart normally the problem continues like before.
As per what I found out after searching, I again opened additional drivers and installed Cedarview-graphics-driver. I tried restarting hoping it will work. But again, the result was same. There was no display but the system was working.
I did more searching and followed the instructions found here. But still the result was same. I am keen to switch to linux from windows after hearing and learning great things about it. I know this community is good and always helping. I wanted to thank you all for the help in advance.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong and help me to switch to linux from this same old windows.

Vancouver police early Saturday took a juvenile into custody in connection with recent vandalism at businesses in the Lincoln neighborhood.
Sgt. Rod Trumpf said police received a tip. He said several juveniles were identified and one was taken to Clark County Juvenile Center about 2 a.m. Saturday. He did not provide the gender of the suspect.
Trumpf said an investigation of vandalism along 39th Street continues.
"I think it's a good start," Scott Flury said Sunday night of the police action. He is the owner of Latte Da Coffeehouse and Wine Bar at 205 E. 39th St. Vandals did nearly $3,000 worth of damage to his business early Wednesday morning.
"It's not the time to let up," Flury said. "The community needs to pull together and to follow through with the action plans that we have."
He said those plans include ensuring streetlights are working and seeing if a Neighbors On Watch group is active in the neighborhood.
Flury said more than 20 people showed up Friday night for a meeting at his business. He said Vancouver police Cpl. Drue Russell attended.
Flury noted that it was not just four businesses and a church that were hit. He said at least two houses had windows broken recently, at least two car windows were smashed and at least one spot was tagged with graffiti.
At his business, vandals apparently used a sledgehammer to break a window.
Also vandalized were Trinity Lutheran Church, Farmers Insurance Group, Prima Bella Salon and West Vancouver Dental, all within about a block of each other.
At Latte Da, Flury said he will install more security cameras, with the new ones pointed at the alley behind his business. Flury opened his shop in June 2011.

Noting Barack Obama has presided over 100 million FBI firearm sales background checks, activist and citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh spoke to enthusiastic gun owners at an Open Carry Texas "Meet and Greet" in Big Spring on Saturday.
"Now, for a guy who's only been in office for a term and a half, that's quite an accomplishment. As a firearm salesman representing the Unintended Consequences Armaments Corporation, he has managed to put even Bill Clinton in the deep shade," Vanderboegh observed. "And we won't even mention what you've done for ammunition sales. But thanks for everything, Barack. You may go down in history as this country's worst President ever, but you are one hell of an armaments salesman."
Longtime readers of this column recall Vanderboegh is the blogger who first reported on allegations from CleanUpATF -- a website maintained by so-called "dissident" agents to expose bureau waste, abuse, corruption and fraud -- that "walked" weapons from the Fast and Furious operation were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. His groundbreaking work on validating reports,securing insider sources, pressuring Congress into providing whistleblower protection and conducting formal hearings, and guiding a mostly indifferent or hostile "mainstream media" into independently investigating the story, has been exhaustively documented in a series of Gun Rights Examiner reports beginning with the first of several guides.
Acknowledging "one of the major employers in Big Spring these days is the Federal Correctional Institution," Vanderboegh noted that "many people recently ... are interested in putting me inside of one those places for what they imagine is my sedition or even incitement to insurrection, not to mention their irritation at my violation of some newly oppressive citizen disarmament state laws." That latter observation was a reference to his ongoing "Toys for Totalitarians" civil disobedience efforts by smuggling magazines in defiance of state edicts banning them.
Explaining that his goal is "Restoring the Constitution," Vanderboegh recalled recent speeches in Massachusetts, in Nevada at the Bundy ranch, and on the steps of the statehouse in Connecticut, among others. He also revealed upcoming engagements planned over the coming months in Colorado and New York, where he intends "to twist Governor Cuomo's tail a bit.
"In each place comes the question, 'How can we restore the Constitution?'" Vanderboegh explained. "How can we return to the Founders' vision of a government of limited powers, which preserves liberty and property while upholding the rule of law and most importantly operating within it?
"I think first and foremost we must tell the truth, not only to those who we are trying to convince to join us but, as well, to those who are trying to defeat us," he offered, citing Patrick Henry's "immortal" Virginia Convention speech to warn against hope-based self-deception in the face of unpleasant truths.
"We are at present two peoples, two countries really, living within a common border and sharing (mostly) a common language but divided upon the answer to this question: does the government serve the people or do the people serve the government?" Vanderboegh elaborated. "This is not a question that the answer can be finessed, negotiated or ignored. It is one or the other, that of individual liberty as the Founders intended or of collectivist power in service to a few."
"Yet we shrink from the honest conclusion," he continued. "And that conclusion is that such mutually exclusive worldviews cannot long coexist without one or the other winning out.
"History tells us -- the Founders would tell us themselves were they here -- that neither side of such a divide will surrender without a fight, which means there WILL be a fight," Vanderboegh predicted. "To think otherwise is to whistle past the graveyard of our own history...
"These ... tyrant wannabes ... are now sitting at the feast table that they so carefully made and they dare not take a bite for fear of their intended meal biting them back," he declared. "That is the Founders' argument. That is what we must be honest enough to admit to ourselves, and then to proclaim to those domestic enemies of the Constitution and to the world.
"So if you wish to stay free, prepare to resist, defy, evade and smuggle," he concluded. "The Founders did. The enemies of liberty will certainly never be convinced by anything less."

No, you cannot do that.
Only objects on the battlefield are called permanents. In the graveyard, they are just cards. You can only return cards from the graveyard to the battlefield or to your hand if the spell or ability specifically says "from the graveyard".

December was a record breaking month for encountering gray whales off the coast of California. Many whale watching companies report seeing almost double the number of California gray whales compared to last year. Several other whale species and their main predator, the orca, are also being sighted more frequently. Clear, warm weather during the month made conditions ideal for viewing the whales.
Gray whales make an annual migration along the west coast of the United States from Alaska to their birthing areas in the warm Gulf of California. Along the way, they stop to feed whenever food is plentiful. According to the International Science Times, climate change may be partly involved in the increased off-shore population. With warmer waters off of California, krill and squid may have become more plentiful.
Other theories include the fact that more people may be out whale watching because of the ideal conditions. This would mean that there are more people being able to view and count the whales even from a far distance. It could also mean that the whales are migrating closer to shore than usual. Or, it could be a real population boom. Gray whales were once very plentiful not only in the Pacific Ocean, but the Atlantic Ocean as well. They went extinct in the Atlantic several hundred years ago. Currently, only a fraction of the Pacific population remains.
There are several ways to watch whales in San Diego. One way is to take a tour on a boat or take out your own boat. If you take your own boat out, be aware that it is against the law to approach or chase the whales, though they are allowed to approach you on their own accord. Whales can also be observed from the shoreline, especially in places like the Cabrillo National Monument, the Birch Aquarium (who also host their own whale watching tours), and Torrey Pines State Reserve. Other areas with high cliffs and good view of the water can be good places to view whales, especially on a clear day.

Bottled water has gotten bad press this spring with some towns in Massachusetts even banning the sale of bottled water. But it has just been announced that the State government of Massachusetts is actually using taxpayers money to purchase bottled water for governmental offices. EWG reports that bottled water can be up to 1,900 times more expensive than regular tap water and takes 2000 times more energy to produce. Not good numbers for the state if they are really concerned about saving money and energy in these "tough economic times". EWG has started a petition to Governor Patrick- urging him to stop spending money on unnecessary bottled water. If you would like to read more about the petition, you can go to http://bit.ly/cGyMn0

Ford Makes Ivy League History, Named Player & Pitcher of the Year
Capping off an outstanding individual year, Princeton baseball's Mike Ford made Ivy League history by earning both the Player and Pitcher of the Year awards. He is not only the first player to win both top honors in the same season, but also in a career. Ford headlined the Tigers' all-league selections, picking up unanimous first team honors along with Alec Keller, while Alex Flink and Zak Hermans were tabbed honorable mention.
"The year that Mike had was just so amazing, that being named both Pitcher and Player of the Year turns it into a historic season," said head coach Scott Bradley. "We've had a lot of great players come through Princeton, but to have somebody who had this type of year on the mound and as a position player is really is unprecedented. It is nice to see the other coaches in the league also agree with those thoughts."
Ford was voted unanimous first team at both pitcher and first base, becoming only the second player in league history to receive two unanimous first team accolades in the same year since Harvard's Trey Hendricks in 2004. He is the third dual first teamer overall, as Army's Shannon Smith was the first All-Ivy/EIBL double first team selection in 1990.Ford is the first Princetonian to ever win Player of the Year and has made Ivy history as the only player to receive all three top awards in a career, as he was named Rookie of the Year in 2011. Winning Pitcher of the Year marks the second consecutive season and third time overall a Tiger has earned the honor, following Hermans' selection in 2012.
At the plate, Ford hit .320 (47-for-147) for second-best on the team. He ranked in the top-10 in the Ivy League in 10 categories, including No. 1 in walks (31), No. 2 in home runs (6), No. 3 in RBI (38) and No. 4 in on-base percentage (.443).
On the mound, he went 6-0 with a league-leading 0.98 ERA, third-best in a season in program history. In nine starts, he tallied five complete games, all in Ivy play, and a shutout victory. Ford ranked first in earned runs allowed (7), opposing batting average (.191) and home runs allowed (0) to place in the top-10 in 10 statistical categories in the league.
Ford nearly won the triple crown in league play, with Ivy-bests in homers (5) and RBI (22), but finished second in batting average (.394) to Keller.
The owner of the top batting average in league (.395), Keller earned his second consecutive first team honor and the conference's Blair Bat award. The junior is the first Tiger to boast the top average since Sal Iacono '07 in 2007.
On the year Keller ranked in the top-10 in six categories, hitting .378 (54-for-143) and tallying 32 runs, 17 RBI, 14 walks, nine doubles, four homers and a triple. Impressively, in 143 at-bats he only struck out 10 times.
"For a year that was a little disappointing in which we didn't reach our ultimate goal, we had some terrific performances individually capped off with Mike Ford and Alec Keller, who won the Blair Bat for the highest batting average in Ivy League games and was a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy," commented Bradley.
Rounding out Princeton's honorees is the senior tandem of honorable mention selections in Flink and Hermans. Third baseman Flink concludes his career earning his second conference honor. He went 31-for-127 (.244) in 39 appearances with 14 RBI, 13 runs, 12 walks and five doubles.
Hermans earns his second career All-Ivy honor, picking up first team accolades last season. This year he went 3-4 with a 2.40 ERA, 10th-best in the league, over nine appearances. He threw six complete games and a shutout spanning 56.1 innings. Hermans' amassed 55 strikeouts, fourth-best in the league, and only gave up 15 earned runs and 12 walks.
"Zak Hermans who was last year's Ivy League Pitcher of the Year had a very good year, just some of the results didn't go his way. So for him to be honorable mention is well deserved. Alex Flink was steady and got some big hits for us throughout the year, so it was nice for him to be recognized as well," concluded Bradley.

British man in France admits slitting his two children's throats
Reuters – 8 hours ago
LYON, France (Reuters) - A British father living in France has admitted to killing his two children by slitting their throats, blaming a rocky divorce from his wife, prosecutors said on Sunday.
Police arrested the 48-year-old unemployed man on Saturday after the bodies of his 5-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son were found at his apartment in a suburb of the eastern city of Lyon.
"He offered explanations linked to the children's custody," an official from the Lyon prosecutor's office told Reuters.
The mother left the man in 2010 due to family violence and his right to have the children visit him at his apartment, previously the family home, was revoked after a violent episode.
At the time of the murder, he had recently recovered the right to receive the children, and they were staying with him briefly for the first time since then.
The man's ex-wife crossed him in the stairs as he fled the scene on Saturday with blood on his clothes, the official said.
She called police who found the suspect in a street in Lyon.

College Hockey:UND Overcomes Reiter, UAA
Sioux Dominate Stat Sheet In Win
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Sometimes a game's final score doesn't tell the whole story.
"A thorough butt-whoopin'" was how Alaska-Anchorage coach John Hill categorized the Seawolves' 4-2 loss to North Dakota at Engelstad Arena on Friday night.
"I thought for 60 minutes, they took it to us in all facets of the game. They outskated us, outhustled us and outhit us. We hardly mustered 10 shots on goal," he said. "I thought they put on a clinic when it came to forechecking. They also played the body well in the defensive zone."
How did Hill explain the game's narrow two-goal difference?
"If Kevin Reiter doesn't have the game he has tonight, it could be a double-digit score," he said of his junior goaltender's performance.
Although the Sioux outshot the Seawolves 37-12 and created numerous scoring opportunities, they came away with little to show for it because of big saves by Reiter.
For the first 21 minutes, the Sioux dominated while cruising to a 3-0 lead. Junior forward Ryan Hale opened the scoring at 1:58 of the first period when he pounded in a loose puck during a battle in front of the UAA net. At 6:51, sophomore forward Brandon Bochenski scored his 11th goal of the season in a similar manner.
Just 41 seconds into the second period, UND capitalized on a 5-on-3 power play. Sophomore defenseman Nick Fuher caught Reiter looking the wrong way and rifled a wrist shot past him from the top of the right circle to give the Sioux a commanding 3-0 lead.
But UAA stayed in the game by taking advantage of a 5-on-3 power play to cut UND's lead to 3-1 at the 8:36 mark of the second period. Freshman defenseman Matt Hanson's low blast from above the left faceoff circle got past Sioux sophomore goalie Josh Siembida.
The only blemish on Reiter's performance was the costly mistake he made in the third period that put UND up 4-1 at 12:42. Leaving the crease to play the puck, he attempted to loft it out of the zone, straight up the slot. UND sophomore forward Rory McMahon alertly knocked the puck down with his glove at the blue line and fired it into the vacated net.
"I don't think he saw me coming through the middle," McMahon said. "I just happened to be the lucky guy who got the big Christmas present. All I was thinking in my head was 'Don't miss…don't miss…don't miss.'"
Still, the Seawolves refused to go away. With 2:14 left in the final period, a pair of freshmen teamed up to make it a 4-2 game. UAA wing Brent McMann sprang center Curtis Glencross on a pass to the Sioux blue line that sent him in alone to score on Siembida. But the Seawolves would come no closer.
"We carried the play. We carried the game. They were always in the game," said UND coach Dean Blais. "I didn't feel comfortable that we were going to win the game until it went 4-1."
UAA and UND play the second game of the series at 7:05 p.m. Saturday at Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks.

Senior shortstop Brennan Middleton was selected by Brennan Middleton with the final pick of day two of the First-Year Player Draft
June 7, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - It took sitting through two days and ten rounds of the MLB First-Year Player Draft, but Tulane senior shortstop Brennan Middleton finally heard his name, as the Washington Nationals selected him with the final pick of the tenth round (316th overall).
Middleton will join fellow Tulane Green Wave baseball player David Napoli into the professional ranks, as he too was selected by the Washington Nationals earlier in the day (eighth round, 256th overall).
A four-year starter for the Greenies, Middleton was an anchor in the infield during 216 contests, including 205 starts. He holds a .297 career batting average to go along with 214 career hits, 31 doubles, 80 RBI and 28 stolen bases.
"I've been coaching for a long time, and Brennan is one of the most special kids I've ever been associated with," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "He comes from a great family. He is a coach on the field. I'm very happy for him."
Middleton's best year came in 2012, when he hit an outstanding .357 for the Greenies, earning All-Conference USA First Team honors. He was second in the league in batting average and sacrifice bunts, while scoring 45 runs - good for ninth in the league standings.
During his senior campaign, Middleton led the Green Wave in hitting, batting at a clip of .295, while also leading the squad with 65 hits. His 19 multi-hit contests - including two games in which he notched four hits - led the team in 2013, as well. He recorded his 200th career hit against Marshall on April 27, becoming just the 29th player in school history to accomplish the feat.
Middleton is also one of the most selfless players at the dish to ever wear a Green Wave uniform. He ranks first in Tulane history with 27 sacrifice hits during his four-year career.
On top of his play at the plate, Middleton will always be known for his glove. During his senior campaign, he recorded only six errors in 314 chances. His 207 assists during the 2013 season are the second most ever in a single season in school history, and his career total of 649 are third in school history.
Middleton only missed two games during his senior season, but made 56 starts at shortstop. He notched a 14-game hitting streak that began on Feb. 16 against Texas State that stretched all the way to March 9. During that time frame, he posted a 4-for-5 performance at the plate against Alabama on March 1. He matched his offensive output against Rice on March 29, going 4-for-5 against the Owls.
Middleton marks a milestone of sorts, as he becomes the 50th Tulane player to be drafted under Jones tutelage. The Baton Rouge, La., native became the 89th player in Tulane history to be selected in the First-Year Player Draft.
With the selection of both Middleton and Napoli, the two become the first Green Wave teammates to be drafted by the same team in the same draft since Rob Segedin and Preston Claiborne were both chosen by the New York Yankees in 2010. The same happened for Green Wave teammates on eight different occasions: 2006 (Mark Hamilton and Nathan Southard, St. Louis Cardinals), 2005 (Brian Bogusevic and Tommy Manzella, Houston Astros), 2004 (Brian Bormaster and Cory Hahn, Toronto Blue Jays), 2002 (Nick Bourgeois and Beau Richardson, Philadelphia Phillies), 1998 (Mike Pursell and Craig Brown, Cleveland Indians), 1997 (Jason Navarro and Scott Wilson, Cardinals), 1992 (Larry Schneider and David Welch, Indians), 1989 (Steve Rowley and Gerald Alexander, Texas Rangers), and 1979 (David Stokes and Ken Francingues, Minnesota Twins).
Other Greenies drafted during the 10th round in the history of the MLB First-Year Player Draft are Josh Zeid (Houston Astros, 2009), Steve Rowley (Texas Rangers, 1989), Tookie Spann (Seattle Mariners, 1987) and Wayne Francinques (Chicago White Sox, 1969). Spann did not sign with the Mariners in 1987, instead choosing to return to Tulane in 1988.
"The Washington Nationals are a great, up-and-coming organization," added Jones. "I've known their scouting director, Roy Clark, for over 30 years. They aren't drafting kids unless they think they can play at the highest level. I know that this is an organization that does their homework, and I know that both of these guys can play at the next level."
The final day of the draft will be Saturday, where rounds 11-40 will be conducted. Stay tuned to TulaneGreenWave.com for more MLB Draft coverage.

For $i=1,2$, let $\Sigma_i$ be two $\sigma$-algebras of subsets of some sets $S_i$. Denote by $\Sigma_1\otimes\Sigma_2$ their product $\sigma$-algebra. It is well known that any bounded, $\Sigma_1\otimes\Sigma_2$-measurable function can be approximated in the $\sup$-norm by simple functions $\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_k\cdot 1_{A_k}$, where $A_k\in \Sigma_1\otimes\Sigma_2$. Let $A\in \Sigma_1\otimes\Sigma_2$. Is it possible to approximate the characteristic function $1_A$ by simple functions of the form $1_{E\times F}$, where $E\in\Sigma_1$ and $F\in\Sigma_2$, i.e. for any $\varepsilon>0$, does there exist $n\in\mathbb{N}$, real numbers $a_1,...,a_n\in\mathbb{R}$ and sets $E_k\times F_k\in \Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2$, $k=1,...,n$ such that $$\sup_{(x,y)\in S_1\times S_2}\vert1_A(x,y)-\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_k\cdot 1_{E_k\times F_k}(x,y)\vert <\varepsilon\ ?$$

This approximation is true if and only if $A$ is a finite union of sets of the form $A_1\times A_2$, where $A_i\in\Sigma_i$, $i\in [2]$.
Indeed, the condition is trivially sufficient, to see it's necessary take $\varepsilon=\frac 12$. We can assume that $\{E_k\}_{k=1}^n, \{F_k\}_{k=1}^n$ are pairwise disjoint families of measurable sets and $a_k\geq 0$. Then if $(x,y)\in A$, we have $$\frac 12< \sum_{k=1}^na_k\chi_{E_k}(x)\chi_{F_k}(y)< \frac 32.$$ In particular $(x,y)\in\bigcup_{k=1}^nE_k\times F_k$ so $A\subset \bigcup_{k=1}^nE_k\times F_k$. The displayed equation shows that $a_k\geq \frac 12$ for each $k\in [n]$. If $(x,y)\in E_i\times F_i$ for some $i$, we should have $|\chi_A(x,y)-a_i|<\frac 12$ and this implies $(x,y)\in A$.
