Forecast discussion: A complex low pressure system created a few showers at first during the early morning for Providence on Wednesday. Then, by the morning commute, heavy rain poured down on Providence and Kent Counties. Roads become flooded and some people had to be saved from their car. In all, Providence received 2.25 inches of rain. Smithfield received 3.61 inches. However, Islip, NY was the big winner, or big loser, depending on how you look at it. They received just over 13 inches of rain. In fact, they received five and a half inches of rain in one hour!
As we move through this evening, the double low pressure system will move to the north and east. We will see clearing skies this evening, with bright sunshine to start Thursday. High pressure over Arkansas will bring us dry weather for the first half of the weekend. Temperatures, however, will remain slightly below normal for the middle of August, as we only reach the upper 70's.
As we move into Sunday, the computer models continue to show a low pressure system over Quebec picking up moisture from the Great Lakes. This will help bring some isolated to scattered showers over Rhode Island by Sunday afternoon. The weak front will move offshore by early Monday morning, and we will return to dry weather to begin early next week. Temperatures will slowly try to climb into the lower 80's in the capital city.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Cloudy with showers ending by 1 a.m. Slow clearing is expected heading into dawn. Patchy fog is possible. We will see a low of 61.
Thursday: Mostly sunny skies and breezy with a high of 77. Winds will come from the west-northwest at 12-15 mph.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 60. Winds will come from the west at 7-10 mph.
Friday: Partly sunny with a high of 77.
Friday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 59.
Saturday: Partly sunny with a high of 79.
Saturday night: Skies becoming cloudy before dawn with a low of 64.
Extended Forecast:
Sunday: Cloudy with showers arriving by noon. Highs 77-80, lows 62-65.
Monday: Showers end around 3 a.m. with mostly sunny skies by mid-morning. Highs 77-80, lows 62-65.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-81, lows 62-65.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 79-82, lows 62-65.

The Rizzoli Bookstore being forced to close, essentially because the real estate it occupied is too valuable to be occupied by a bookstore is a matter of history repeating itself. Founded in 1964, Rizzoli Bookstore occupied 712 Fifth Avenue until January of 1985. Adolph S. Gottlieb designed that first Rizzoli building, which Cartier previously occupied.
It was one of two five-story townhouses – the other being the Coty Building at 714 Fifth Avenue – that a developer planned to demolish to make way for a skyscraper, the subject of a challenge by the Municipal Arts Society in front of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, as Jesus Rangel reported in The New York Times. While the Municipal Arts Society argued the building at 712 Fifth Avenue was itself noteworthy, they contended it was the windows in the Coty Building that were worth preserving when it came to light the French craftsman Rene Lalique had made them for Francois Coty's perfume shop, a view that eventually won out.
The two buildings – the Rizzoli Building and the Coty Building – were combined with a third townhouse to house the Henri Bendel Flagship store in 1990. According to Charles V. Bagli, "Developers ultimately incorporated the facades of the Rizzoli and Coty buildings into a 50-story tower at 712 Fifth Avenue, home to hedge funds, investment firms and an Henri Bendel store."
Bagli recently related in The New York Times that "The architect Hugh Hardy was brought in to restore the onetime mansion to its original glory. From the old store, Rizzoli brought over four chandeliers, the hand-carved marble door frame and portions of the cherry wood paneling."
Edwin McDowell reported in The New York Times on March 22, 1985 when Rizzoli opened the new flagship store at 31 West 57th Street that it was around the corner from the previous location and the company had a twenty-year-long lease. "Among the guests were the writers Joan Didion, John Gregory Dunne and Theodore H. White, the photographer Francesco Scavullo, the artists Robert Haas and Stephen Edlich, plus numerous publishers and literary agents, diplomats from a half-dozen nations and many Italian leaders from the worlds of business and culture. Several European officials of the parent Italian-Swiss publishing company flew in for the occasion."
The only fixtures transferred to the new store, on the site of the Sohmer company's former piano showroom, were the hand-carved marble doorframe, four hand-wrought chandeliers and portions of the cherrywood paneling. These fixtures were integrated with the existing 32-foot entrance arch, and the carved-in-place ceiling moldings were glazed in an Italian fresco manner.
McDowell stated the new store was 6,000 square feet, which made it nearly one-third larger than the old one. Rizzoli, which had purchased Scribner Book Stores in December of 1984, moved its American headquarters into two floors above the flagship Scribner Book Store in the Scribner Building before the Rizzoli flagship store moved to the new location on 57th Street.
At the time Rizzoli International Bookstores purchased Scribner Book Stores in 1984, Rizzoli had stores in New York City, Chicago, and Dallas and had plans in the works to open new stores in Boston and San Francisco in 1985. Mitgang pointed out in The New York Times that the Rizzoli companies in the U.S. were 50% owned by the Swiss conglomerate Edipresse and 50% owned by the Italian publishing group Rizzoli Editore. Further, the Milanese-based company had itself been troubled, having been managed under court supervision for two years before it was purchased in October of 1983 by a consortium that included the holding company Gemina, banks, and industrial interests.
Gianfranco Monacelli, who started as a clerk at the Rizzoli store Fifth Avenue store in 1965, rose up to become president of the company, a post he retained after it became a Swiss-Italian joint venture. He founded The Monacelli Press in 1994. It specializes in the fine arts, architecture, interior design, gardens and landscape architecture, photography, and graphic design.
In an earlier article published August 22, 1984, Edwin McDowell explained in The New York Times, "It is a highly profitable and rapidly growing bookstore chain, an expanding publisher of illustrated books and it has its own line of phonograph records. Two months ago it opened a store in SoHo. Meanwhile, sales at its Fifth Avenue store are about $4.5 million annually, or about $1,000 per square foot - a figure that Rizzoli officials say is the highest in the book industry."
Much of this transformation has been accomplished while Rizzoli's parent company has been battered by one scandal after another; millions of dollars in company funds disappeared, its managing director was arrested on charges of fraud and the same managing director was said to have been a member of the secret Propaganda 2 Masonic lodge that has since been outlawed by the Italian Parliament.
The resultant financial and publicity fallout may have been what led Rizzoli Editore recently to sell one half its American operations to… Edipresse.
Monacelli, then forty-five, told McDowell that he believed the Italian publishing company's sale of half its ownership in its American bookstore subsidiary to a Swiss media company would enable faster growth for the American retailer.
The New York subsidiary's effective independence from the parent company in Milan allowed for experimentation, as McDowell noted. In 1977, the store began to co-publish art books.
Three years later, the store began to publish books on its own. It recruited authors and commissioned works. McDowell wrote, "Today it originates 40 percent of the 60 titles it publishes in the United States each year…"
Now Rizzoli is the leading American publisher of books on architecture, and it is a highly praised publisher of illustrated books… With money available from… Edipresse… it is planning to broaden its publishing program…
But the backbone of the American operation remains the bookstores, which despite their art galleries and attractive furnishings are now operated as bona fide businesses. Mr. Monacelli says the goal is for each store to do at least $2 million worth of business a year.
Rizzoli opened a store in Chicago's Water Tower Place in 1976 and in 1981 opened another in Costa Mesa…midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. It opened a store in Atlanta in 1976 but closed it last year. Mr. Monacelli said that while it was profitable, the company 'didn't see any future for it.' In 1978, after two years of operation, it also closed its store in Manhattan's Union Square, which specialized in foreign language books.
These setbacks did not stop Rizzoli from opening a 2,000-square-foot store at 454 West Broadway in SoHo in June of 1984 and a store in North Park Center in Dallas in July. Rizzoli planned to open another in Copley Place in Boston in September of '84.
McDowell continued, "Next on the list are San Francisco, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia. Eventually it hopes to have about 25 stores. "
Further, McDowell related, the stores Rizzoli planned to open would be about the same size as the flagship store on Fifth Avenue (4,500 square feet) and would "continue to carry large inventories of quality nonfiction - architecture, art, photography and books from university presses," as well as "a sizable selection of foreign magazines and newspapers, …[and] classical music albums." At the time, fiction account for less than 15% of sales and foreign language books accounted for less than 5%.

Shah's parade ruined by rain
A fine innings by England batsman Owais Shah counted for nothing when rain arrived at Lord's to wash out Middlesex's Clydesdale Bank 40 clash with the Netherlands.
The right-hander reached an unbeaten 74 from 89 balls with six fours and two sixes when persistent rain arrived for a second time with the Panthers on 185 for four after 32.3 overs.
The game had already been reduced to 33 overs a side after an earlier shower led to the loss of seven overs.
But Shah remained unfazed by the delay, returning to clip a six over square-leg that raised a century stand with fourth-wicket partner Gareth Berg.
Berg, who had also posted a 37-ball fifty with seven boundaries, fell leg before to what transpired to be the final ball of the game.
With no sign of the showers abating, umpires Rob Bailey and Martin Bodenham duly abandoned the match, from which both sides took a point.

Town of Huron Draft LWRP
Map Gallery
The Town of Huron, located in Wayne County along Lake Ontario, has prepared a draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act. An LWRP is a locally prepared comprehensive land and water use plan based on the policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. The Huron Draft LWRP has been prepared by the Town with assistance from the New York State Department of State.
The Town of Huron Draft LWRP provides a comprehensive framework within which critical local issues within the Town's Lake Ontario waterfront can be addressed, together with proposed revitalization projects. The Draft LWRP refines the State Coastal Management Program (CMP) by incorporating local needs, issues, and objectives.
The Town of Huron draft LWRP contains the following seven sections, and six appendices.
Section I - Waterfront Revitalization Area Boundary - This section provides a detailed narrative and graphic description of the Huron Waterfront Revitalization Area (WRA) boundary. The Draft LWRP proposes modifications to the existing State Coastal Boundary, extending it further inland to include land recently acquired by the Nature Conservancy.
Section II - Inventory and Analysis of Existing Conditions - This section describes the existing natural and man-made resources within the Huron WRA, as well as an analysis of opportunities and constraints to development.
Section III - Waterfront Revitalization Policies - This section presents the coastal management policies that apply to the Town of Huron. The policy explanations of the New York State Coastal Management Program have, in some cases, been expanded to reflect the local conditions within the Huron WRA. These policies are based on the economic, environmental, and cultural characteristics of Town's waterfront revitalization area, and represent a balance between economic development and preservation, which will permit beneficial use of, and prevent adverse effects on, waterfront resources. The policies shall serve as the basis for local, State, and Federal consistency determinations for activities affecting the Huron WRA. No policy shall be viewed as being more significant than another. The policies should be read in conjunction with the specific standards of relevant local laws.
Section IV - Proposed Land and Water Uses and Projects - This section describes proposed long-term land and water uses within the Huron WRA, as well as proposed short-term projects needed to implement the LWRP. Proposed uses and actions described in this section are intended to protect waterfront resources, maintain the existing character of the community, properly accommodate future development, and increase public access.
Section V - Techniques for Local Implementation - This section describes the local laws, management structure, and financial resources necessary to implement the policies and proposed uses set forth in Sections III and IV.
Section VI - State and Federal Actions and Programs Likely to Affect Implementation of the LWRP - This section consists of a list of State and Federal actions and programs which must be undertaken in a manner consistent with the Town of Huron LWRP, as well as a description of specific State and Federal actions necessary to further implementation of the LWRP.
Section VII - Local Commitment and Consultation - This section summarizes the actions taken by the Town of Huron to obtain local input and support, and efforts made to consult with other agencies, in the development of the draft LWRP.Appendix A - Local Waterfront Consistency Review Law and Form
Appendix B - Excerpts from Local and State Laws
Appendix C - Information on Existing Parks and Trails
Appendix D - Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitats
Appendix E - Excerpts from Local and Regional Plans
Appendix F - Notification Guidelines

First there was Ryan Roth as Elvis at the Mandalay, now the Future Leaders of the World at McGuffy's House of Rock on Saturday (November 20th.)
Scheduled to be warming up the crowd this year are XFactor1 and Epistone.
No, the world isn't really spinning faster, we're pretty sure it's just a fluke of the schedules.
But just in case, better get to the FLOW show just a bit early.
You'll likely have plenty of new and old friends to socialize with while you wait.
Doors open at 7pm, show scheduled to start at 8. It's an 18 and up show (with ID.)
Tickets are $10 until Friday at 11:59pm, and likely a bit more all day Friday online and at the door (if there are any left at the door.)

Aaron Brooks and John Carney had similar reactions when they received their phone calls informing them of their election to the New Orleans Saints 2014 Hall of Fame class.
Shock. Bewilderment. Thankfulness.
It wasn't a foregone conclusion for either player, who spent so many years on losing teams. Brooks, who joined the Saints following a trade from the Green Bay Packers in 2000, played for the team for six seasons before finishing his career for the Oakland Raiders in 2006.
Brooks ended his Saints stint as the franchise leader in touchdowns (120) and second in passing yards (19,156), records that have been surpassed by Drew Brees. Brooks was the starting quarterback during the Saints first franchise playoff win, a 31-28 victory against the St. Louis Rams in 2000.
He was also a polarizing figure criticized for his leadership and seemingly lackadaisical attitude toward mistakes.
But the trying years seemed to be behind him as he spoke briefly to those assembled at the announcement. Brooks, who now lives in Virginia with his wife and three children, said he was humbled and honored to be recognized.
Brooks paused several times to collect himself, noting that it was a very emotional moment for him.
"Obviously it's very humbling. It's quite an honor to be inducted, to be a part of New Orleans Saints' history," Brooks said. "I've been a little nervous at times, just knowing what the team and myself had accomplished over the years and what we tried to do individually, what my wife and I tried to accomplish in the community. ...
"Although there were some trying times, some challenging times, through it all it feels good to know that we have prevailed, we're still standing tall, but more importantly to know that we are being looked at in a different light. Because we did not do it by ourselves. I did not do it by myself. There were a lot of guys that contributed to the success I had on the field as well as off the field, so I'm very proud of that."
It was a shock for Carney too, who had several stints with the Saints from 2001-06 and 09-10.
"I never even considered New Orleans. I loved playing here, had some amazing experiences here, and some great memories. But I just never thought of myself as a Saints Hall of Famer. It was an nice surprise."
Carney remains the Saints leader in field goal percentage (82.8) and ranks second in points (768), field goals made (168), field goals attempted (203) and PATS made (268).
"I've been very blessed and fortunate and I think God that he gave me the ability to do what I do, but as Aaron said, we don't do it alone," he said.
One of Carney's more famous moments, and the one that still stands out in his mind today, was a 47-yard game winning field goal against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 12, 2005, less than two weeks after New Orleans had been hit by Hurricane Katrina.
"The Carolina game was special because it was right after Katrina, so we went in there with a lot of emotion and energy. We were playing really the team that was chosen to win the division that year, so to beat them was kind of magical and certainly uplifting for the region."
The next week, both Carney and Brooks were shown embracing on the cover of Sports Illustrated in a photo captured moments after the game winning kick.
Carney will also be remembered for a missed extra point against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2003. The Saints, trailing the Jaguars, came up with an unprecedented series of laterals, later dubbed the "River City Relay," to get within one point of the Jaguars as time expired.
However, Carney had to wait out a lengthy delay while officials checked to make sure the laterals were all legal and missed the PAT that would have sent the game into overtime.
"That was tough to go through," Carney said. "Actually Aaron and Joe Horn were big supporters of mine during that time."
Carney, who spent many years as Brooks teammate, said it was fitting they'd go in together. They were often introduced together at events during their playing days because of their numbers--Brooks wore No. 2, Carney No. 3.
"Here we are again, entering together, and that's special," Carney said.

If I have offended anyone in any way, I am sorry. I strive to do what G-d wants me to do, but I am human and make mistakes.
"For this mitzvah (Divine commandment) that I command you today, it is not hidden from you and it is not distant...Rather, the matter is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to perform it." (Devarim/Deuteronomy 30:11-14) Ramban (1) explains that, "this mitzvah" is referring to the mitzvah of Teshuva, regretting one's misdeeds and resolving to return to G- d's path. On the Shabbos before Rosh Hashana, our Day of Judgment, we remind ourselves that it is never too late to repent. "The matter is near to you.to perform it": everyone is capable.
"When we set aside the time to think about our actions, we may find that we are being selfish, impatient, critical, short-tempered, or performing mitzvos by rote without the appropriate sincerity. Once we realize what the problems are, we can plan and consult to chart the path to improvement and change.
We can and must change. When we strive and expend the effort, we will emerge different people. Through the transformation we create and in the merit of our efforts, may we all be inscribed in the Book of Life. "

The Park Hotel was built in the 1870's and its present owners have worked hard to preserve the same atmosphere that 19th century travelers to the island would have
enjoyed. Each of the Victorian hotel's 25 rooms are decorated with period antiques and area rugs and wallpaper indicative of the time period it was built.
The Victorian lobby is open to the public and has period antiques, the hotel's original fireplace and a large front picture window decorated with rare Bavarian
etched ruby glass panes of birds native to the island. The hotel also has its original press tin ceilings. The Victorian era traveler who stayed here saw the hotel
much as the present day traveler sees it today. The Park Hotel was originally the Deutsches Hotel and was one of the smaller Put-in-Bay establishments in the 1870's
with just 26 original rooms.
Historians have stated, The Park Hotel was the first hotel in the local area that offered "Beds having spring mattresses," and not the traditional straw filled beds It also had a dining room that sat 100 people. All the guest rooms are located on the second and third floors. One of the most popular
rooms is the large front room that has three windows overlooking the downtown park and harbor. One of the 26 rooms was used when the bath facilities were modernized
in the 1980's. This historic hotel is much like a period museum with the modern comforts of a small island resort hotel.
Many local activities have taken place here over the year's, including community dinners, business meetings and awards ceremonies. We're proud of our community.

Denny Hamlin, driving the #11 Fed-Ex Toyota Camry and fellow Joe Gibbs Racing teammate to Matt Kenseth the first Duel winner , has won the second Daytona Duel at Daytona International Speedway this Thursday evening, with a seven car pile-up happening behind him ending the race under caution as the drivers were coming to the checker flag.
There were no serious injuries, in an incident that began when Jimmie Johnson, six time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, ran out of fuel in turn 4. Jamie McMurray, driving the #1 McDonald's Chevrolet, ran up alongside taking the air off of Johnson's car #48 Lowe's Chevrolet, Johnson who was waving his hand signaling out the window, was sent into the wall. From there the pandemonium started as cars piled up around and behind them leaving nowhere to go. Clint Bowyer, driving the #15 5-Hour Energy Toyota went air-borne, landing back on his tires and kept on driving.
"I feel terrible," Johnson said. "To tear up that many race cars, to see the No. 15 flip -- I feel terrible, and certainly want to apologize to everyone. I tried to get up out of the way; I had my hand out of the side (signaling he was out of fuel).
Leaving Johnson, McMurray, Martin Truex Jr., and Bowyer along with a handful of other drivers to start the Daytona 500 in the back of the field in a back-up car, after having their cars destroyed.
With Hamlin gaining the victory this evening, Hamlin has a victory in last weekend's Sprint Unlimited Race and his Duel race. And this win gives team owner, Joe Gibbs, a sweep of all three NASCAR Sprint Cup races for this 2014 season speedweeks at Daytona.
"Our Fed-Ex Camry, this one, is pretty strong too it looks like, so we're excited about that," said Hamlin in victory lane. "I was a little worried after practice but when we tried to run a fast lap we could which is a good sign of what we did before the Unlimited. So I can't thank this team enough."
Hamlin continued, "We won the NASCAR golf tournament this morning (Thursday, February 20) too, so we're really undefeated, everything's been going great."
Truex Jr., who qualified second for the Daytona 500, started on the pole for the second Duel of the evening in his #78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet, but he was only able to lead one lap before Brad Keselowski over powered the Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet, putting his #2 Miller Lite Ford in the top spot.
Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, took early control of the race and stayed out front throughout the first half of the race leading 34 out of the 60 laps. Keselowski pitted on Lap 37, beginning most of the field with him, but Keselowski was too fast on pit road and needed to serve a pass through penalty. As Keselowski came into the pits for his penalty, he slid his tires, which in turn led to a flat tire after leaving the pits, thus ending his chances for a victory.
With Keselowski going into the pits for his penalty, Hamlin took the reins, and led the race for the remaining 23 laps ending under caution while exiting turn 4 racing to the checkered flag.
Out of 8 rookies trying to qualify for the Great American Race, 7 rookies have been able to make it, which is unheard of in previous NASCAR history. Rookies who made the race are as follows with their starting positions, Austin Dillon 1st, Kyle Larson 16th, Cole Whitt 23rd, Alex Bowman 29th, Michael Annett 36th, Justin Allgaier 40th, Parker Kligerman 41st.
The drivers finished as follows:
1. Denny Hamlin
2. Jeff Gordon
3. Kurt Busch
4. Paul Menard
5. Brian Scott
6. Trevor Bayne

Getting Recognized
In addition to the Clemens Award right-hander Preston Guilmet is on the watch lists for the Brooks Wallace Award and is also one of 50 national semifinalists for the Golden Spikes Award, which is presented to the top college player in the nation.
Like a Rock
Ace Preston Guilmet (11-1, 1.58 ERA) has been about as steady a Friday starter as you can get. For the year he has tossed no less than six innings in all 15 starts, five complete games and has gone eight or more innings nine times (including four straight starts of nine innings and currently back-to-back CGs). He has not given up a single run in six starts, has struck out nine or more batters eight times, has allowed seven or less hits in 12 of 15 outings and has walked two or less 12 times. In 120 innings pitched this season he has thrown 105 scoreless frames while surrendering multiple runs in just five of them.
Finally, No. 200
It took a little bit longer than anticipated thanks to a season-high four-game losing streak, but the ?'07 Cats finally handed head coach Andy Lopez his 200th all-time win at Arizona. UA's 5-3 win over Lopez's Alma Mater UCLA on April 29 handed the Wildcat skipper his milestone victory. In just his sixth year at

Uograding Postgres on a Qube
By DaveLevy on Jan 28, 2007
I've been busy installing Postgres on my Cobalt Qube, running Linux. The first thing I did was to decide to install a second and newer version of the product. Despite the fact that I can see the installed version of Postgres (V6.x) is not running, you can never tell what the OS designers decided to do for database services. Here's how I did it.
I did try and start the installed version but I got a user permissions error and couldn't be arsed to find out why. I decided to install a second version of Postgres on the system.
For various reasons, i.e. the O'Rielly book is written for V7 and thats what I decided to install, version 7. The current stable version is eight (at the time of writing), so I may regret it. Here's what I did.
Make a User, this is to be the database owner and execution authority. Two things to learn from me. If you want to make a group, do so before you make the user, and user names on the Qube need to be less than seven characters, so postgres7 is out, try psql7 or pgsql7. I defaulted the shell to bash.
I like to have my database installation directory in a place other than the
administrator home. I use the administrator
${HOME} to hold the
downloads and install directories and since the Cobalt UNIX likes to do stuff
/usr/local, /usr/share, /usr/lib and
/usr/bin, I
decided to install the production instance into
/opt/postgres7 ,
to ensure that anything I did was well away from original installation.
I downloaded the files required to
${HOME}/install/ so the
tar xvf - creates a directory
postgres-${VERSION}; I
downloaded the
postgres-7.3.13.tar.gz from
This contains the other three files and is sufficient for the install.
I created a configure file with the required options and variables and ran
the configure script. I chose to include tcl/tk but not perl or python. I shall
probably regret not doing perl, but I'll fix this another day. i.e. I wrote a
script consisting of the configure command and the parameters used. (See below
for my syntax). One of these parameters set the final destination root to
/opt/postgres7, so I could use the
make feature to
compile and install the software. Also I did not inspect the
/usr/local file system to see if the Qube designers had installed
pgaccess, which ought to be installed as part of the tcl package.
Since the Qube has TCL installed, it may or may not install pgaccess. It is
certainly there after the V7 install.
I then decided to configure the user. I wrote a .bashrc to prepend the
/opt/postgres7 resources to the appropriate paths,
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I finally decided to develop some code to
check if this is required or not before doing it. Its important to prepend the
directories to the path; we want the paths to direct the searching programs to
Postgres 7 resources first. I also created an environment variable to point at
${DB_HOME}. Putting it in .bashrc means that the code is executed
if you "su" to the user.
Next I ran initdb. This requires the -D flag to point at the "data" directory. The data directory which is configurable at configure time holds both database files and some configuration data.
Within the untar'd install directory, in the
contrib/start-scripts' sub directory is a file called
linux. This is the system V script. I copied this to
/etc/rc.d/init.d and renamed it something appropriate bearing in
mind that the version 6 implementation had taken the name 'postgres'. This
script is beautifully documented with a 'start edits' comment. It uses the su
${PG_USER} ${command} syntax and so this is why I configured a shell read
configuration file, not a login read configuration file aka profile, so that
the environment declared applies to this command.
Create a database, using a script or SQL.
type -p createdb
tells you where the program is. It takes the parameter
Here are my configure parameters
./configure --prefix=${MYBASE7} \\
--exec-prefix=${MYBASE7}/system \\
--bindir=${MYBASE7}/bin \\
--datadir=${MYBASE7}/config \\
--sysconfdir=${MYBASE7}/sysconfig \\
--libdir=${MYBASE7}/lib \\
--docdir=${MYBASE7}/doc \\
--mandir=${MYBASE7}/man \\
--with-tcl --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib
Here is my .bashrc. I use a function called
contains to
discover if the path contains the directory I require.
contains() {
# $1 must be set
echo $1 | grep $2 > /dev/null
return $?
which I then use to determine if the path requires changing,
export PSQL_HOME
contains $PATH $PSQL_HOME/bin
if [ $? !=0 ]
export PATH
In the case of MANPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (not illustrated), I use the
-z test; the
contains function requires two
parameters and setting $2 to an empty value makes it behave as if $2 is unset.
I could have put this logic in the function, but didn't. This is partly because
I use it three times and as shown, MANPATH, requires explicitly stating if
being augmented, so I need the if test anyway. See below.
if [ -z $MANPATH ]
manpath=`cat /etc/man.config | \\
awk '$1==path {print $2;}' path=MANPATH | \\
tr '\\n' ":"`
contains $MANPATH $PSQL_HOME/man
if [ $? !=0 ]
export MANPATH
The only changes to the System V start/stop script, are its name and the various file locations. It appends all logs to a single log and hence would benefit from a function that recycles the logs like Linux does for other daemon logs.
I find the start/stop scripts quite interesting. I am returning to this
problem after a number of years, and the last time I dealt with it, I was using
Pyramid's dualport OSx and we generally used the BSD
script. Both the development of SunCluster and Solaris 10 SMF means that we
need to have a think about how we want to do this. I have also had the chance
to consider classic System V implementations such as Linux that have influenced my thinking. I really
rather like
chkconfig, I like the use of external functions and I
like the use of the
case construct to offer multiple run modes, or
invoke multiple methods (in newspeak). I have written scripts for both tomcat
and sybase and with the latter can see scope for huge argument about the method
This article was originally written a while ago, and not uploaded at the time because I wanted to finish describing how to use it remotely using fat clients. I never finished that bit, but when I do I'll post it on the net.

Flash News, 8-14: The Graham Ruling
Reasons and Reactions
By Darrah Carr
Copyright 2001 Darrah Carr
Though it rained heavily in Manhattan
last Friday afternoon, the atmosphere inside the Martha Graham School of Contemporary
Dance was sunnier than it had been in months. "We're out from under a cloud, a
malignant cloud," explained Stuart Hodes, Head of School, "A dark force existed
and it suddenly appears to no longer exist." Hodes was speaking about the initial
outcome of a lawsuit brought against both the Martha Graham School and the Martha
Graham Center of Contemporary Dance by Ron Protas, sole heir to Martha Graham,
as well as the artistic director of the Martha Graham Trust. The lawsuit, filed
last January, challenged the School and Center's right to use Graham's name to
describe themselves and the technique that they teach. Protas cited trademark
infringement, among other claims, because he had been granted trademark registration
for "Martha Graham" and "Martha Graham Technique" in 1995, four years after Graham's
here for a quicktime video from the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.
Last Tuesday, however, Federal District
Court Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, of the Southern District of New York, ruled
in favor of the School and Center and dismissed Protas's claims. One of the primary
arguments cited in Judge Cedarbaum's thorough, 36-page opinion is that when Graham
incorporated the Center and School, in 1948 and 1956 respectively, she granted
those two not-for-profit organizations the right to use her name. According to
Judge Cedarbaum, this right is "perpetual" and "irrevocable."
Cedarbaum also found that Protas
was not a credible witness and that he breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty
to the Center and School, by registering "Martha Graham" and "Martha Graham technique"
in his own name while he was a member of both organizations' boards of directors.
Furthermore, she wrote that Protas presented misleading information to the United
States Patent and Trademark Office when applying for the trademark registrations
(though she stated he had done so "whether intentionally or not").
Although the Judge's ruling is a
major victory for the Graham School and Center, the battle is not over yet. The
parties will meet for a hearing on September 14. According to the Graham team,
one of the issues expected to be decided this fall is whether Protas can prevent
the Graham Company from performing Graham's ballets. As sole heir, he claims ownership
of the copyrights to Graham's works, which he licenses to others through the Martha
Graham Trust.
Nevertheless, Marvin Preston, executive
director of the Graham School and Center, believes that the most important issue
has been already settled. "The trademark issue is important because it is an issue
of control," Preston explained. "The bottom line is that Ron Protas has absolutely
zero control over these organization. Now that we've settled that, we can go on
to determine who owns the works. But, regardless of who owns them, the copyright
issue is not an issue of control, it is an issue of royalties. Copyright is like
taking a toll. One can take a toll, but one can't intervene."
Martin Lofsnes, principal dancer
in the Martha Graham Dance Company and faculty member at the school, agrees that
the autonomy which Judge Cedarbaum's decision grants the school is very important.
"Though it is painful for the dancers to not have the company up and running,"
says Lofsnes, the dancers' union representative, "we're very positive for the
future now, because the school is really the base, the training ground, and the
foundation for everything." And board chairman Francis Mason promised that, in
the wake of the judge's favorable ruling, the board "will now vigorously pursue
our plans for the future, including the construction of a new school in the new
building on the site of Martha's former townhouse and the reconstitution of the
Martha Graham Dance Company."
Preston confirmed that the school
has every intention of moving from its temporary quarters on West 26th Street
back to its former site on East 63rd Street by the end of the year. It is also
in the process of regaining authorization to grant I-20 student visas to international
dancers. Historically, an international student population is crucial to the Graham
School. When the School and Center suspended operations in May 2000, many of its
international students returned home. Yuko Suzuki, a native of Tokyo, who has
studied at the Graham School for the past five years and is a member of the Graham
Ensemble, explained that the big issues at stake "have caused so much drama in
individual lives too. Some of the international students were on scholarship.
When the school closed and they lost their scholarships, if they couldn't afford
tuition elsewhere, they had to go home. Now many people are waiting for the Graham
School to be able to issue the I-20 again."
Since the school re-opened in January,
Suzuki noted, "There has been really good energy. We knew we had to learn the
Martha Graham technique. It was really important to keep going, every day, day
by day." That good energy reached a fevered pitch when the students found out
about Judge Cedarbaum's decision. "We were very excited on Wednesday, of course,"
Suzuki reported, "each of us asking the others, 'Did you see it? Did you see it?'
Amy (Harrison, the School Administrator) put it on the board and sent each student
an e-mail. We were not surprised as much as relieved. It's more like 'Yes, of
course, it should be this way.'"
Harrison and Hodes, as well as other
Graham faculty and administrators, have kept students abreast of developments
along the way. Xeroxed copies of articles about the trial are kept on the desk
for students to read. Last Friday, the school bulletin board was full of newspaper
articles announcing Judge Cedarbaum's decision, including from the New York Times,
the Law Journal and the International Herald Tribune. When interviewed on Friday,
Hodes described a palpable shift in students' attitudes last week as a result
of the ruling. "Everyone did the same moves in class today as they did on Monday.
But, today there was something electric about those moves! Before, we had a steadfast,
devotional energy, as in 'We're going to stick with this, because we love Graham
technique.' But today, they were bounding through the universe!"
Indeed, many would agree that Cedarbaum's
decision has, if not universal, than at least global implications. Harrison noted
the many e-mails she received from around the world last week, while principal
dancer Terese Capucilli glowed, "I believe the entire dance community is awaiting
the final outcome. It is a very important thing for the entire community. Lots
of hearts and minds are hoping for the best."
The widespread interest that the
Graham trial has generated can be seen as a reflection of the belief that some
Graham dancers share, namely, that Graham's dances can't be owned by an individual,
because they belong to the world. Hodes recalled the moment when this idea first
occurred to him. "It was 1950 and we were in Paris. Martha was despondent because
she'd hurt her knee very badly and was worried that she'd never dance again. Another
of the dancers tried to reassure her by saying, 'But, your dances will be danced
forever.' At which point Martha turned to her and said, 'If I can't dance, I don't
care if my dances are ever done again!' I remember being outraged and thinking
'How dare you consign your dances to oblivion, they don't belong to you, they
belong to the world!' It was that day that I realized that I cared about the dances."
Lofsnes echoed this sentiment, explaining,
"I know in my heart to whom these works belong: They belong to the world, not
to one person." A similar external focus spurred Preston to emphasize, "What would
be best would be a settlement that allows us equal access to all of the dances.
We might jointly agree to license the dances to the outside world and to use them
ourselves within the company and the school. That way, everyone wins. The most
beneficial thing to all, including the public, would be such a settlement. We
are open to that and hope it does happen." Lofsnes summarized the feeling among
the dancers as, "We hope to avoid a legal battle. The works don't need to be in
court, the works need to be on stage."
The Dance Insider also undertook
to secure an interview with Protas. Rather than agree to direct contact, his publicist,
Ellen Zeisler, stated that the Dance Insider could conduct a written interview,
by preparing and submitting written questions. The following questions were submitted
on Saturday afternoon, with the request for a response by Monday afternoon:
1) How would you describe the present
situation? How did you arrive at this point?
2) What is your reaction to Judge
Cedarbaum's decision? How will this decision affect the future of Martha Graham's
3) To the extent that the present
situation is undesirable, what could have been done to avoid that? Can anything
be done to change or rectify the situation, from your point of view? Is there
anything positive about the present situation?
4) Were any efforts made, in response
to Judge Cedarbaum's suggestion, to resolve the suit through settlement, compromise,
or any other way satisfactory to parties? Are you able to disclose your present
position regarding a possible settlement? If so, what is that position?
5) Is there a possibility that a
compromise could be reached with the Graham Center about the performance of Martha
Graham's ballets?
6) Where do you plan to go from here?
Will you be appealing this decision?
7) What is the status of pending
8) What is the agenda for the session
scheduled for September 14? What do you hope to achieve during that session?
9) What can you tell us about Martha
Graham's intentions when she signed numerous sheets of blank Graham Center stationary?
How were those pieces of paper used during Mr. Protas's tenure as Artistic Director?
10) What were Mr. Protas's grounds
for claiming that he owned the Martha Graham technique? How does he respond to
the contention that a non-dancer, who is unable to perform a technique, can nonetheless
own the technique?
11) Does Mr. Protas have any comment
on Judge Cedarbaum's finding that he is not a credible witness? If so, what is
that comment?
12) It was reported in the media
that Mr. Protas testified that Martha Graham did not consider Stuart Hodes to
be a great dancer. Does Mr. Protas have any further comment regarding that issue?
13) Does the Martha Graham Trust
have plans to rent Martha Graham's ballets in the future? Have any already been
rented? What is the cost of a ballet? What percentage, if any, of that rental
fee would go to Jane Hermann?
14) Is there anything else you would
like to add?
Rather than respond to each or most
of the particular questions, the Martha Graham Trust and the Martha Graham School
and Dance Foundation, Inc.(the latter being the entity Protas set up when he decided
to challenge the center and school's rights to use the Martha Graham name) provided
the Dance Insider exclusively with the following prepared statement on Monday
"Robert D. Russo, Producer and Administrator
said, 'The Martha Graham Trust and the Martha Graham School and Dance Foundation,
Inc., are reviewing the recent decision by the Federal District Court of New York
and are discussing with their attorneys all of their legal options including that
of an appeal.'
"Ron Protas, Artistic Director of
the Martha Graham Trust and Martha Graham School and Dance Foundation said, 'I
remain committed to honoring and effectuating Martha Graham's wishes for the use
of her name and her legacy as she instructed me to do.'
"The Trust and Foundation said that
they disagree with the court's decision.
"Martha Graham appointed Ron Protas
as her sole heir and she personally chose him to oversee her name and her tremendous
legacy. During her lifetime, Martha Graham put a number of mechanisms in place
to ensure that Ron Protas would be the one to make the 'the final artistic decisions
as to the rightness of things artistically for my company and school.'* She herself
trained him and appointed him to oversee and direct her great legacy. Martha Graham
stated that it is 'Ron who I have trained over the last eighteen years physically
in my technique, and in maintaining the artistic, the dramatic standards I wish
for my works. Last year he took in hand the need for an ending for one of the
great hits of our last New York Season, 'Celebration.' There was no record of
an ending and before I came to the final rehearsal I asked that he sketch out
an ending with the rehearsal directors. What emerged was an ending that had the
signature of what I wanted; I had only to make peripheral changes in that ending;
the form, the thrust, the line he had been trained to sense I would have wished
was there.'*
"....Mr. Protas and the Martha Graham
Trust and Martha Graham School and Dance Foundation remain firmly committed to
honoring and fulfilling the legacy of Martha Graham as she had wished."
"*Quote from Martha Graham in the
transition document she wrote and signed (notarized) on August 15, 1988. Miss
Graham wrote this document at the suggestion of the Center's board of trustees
when they asked her to formally address her wishes for the future. This document
was entered into as evidence during the recent trial."

I was speaking to a few game retailers and they claim that the PS3 pre-orders of BF BC2 are the same as the PC and XBOX pre-orders combined.
Does anyone know the server situation for this title?
I think it is a MW2 killer, but MAG will always have a place on my PS3
Thanks for sharing the video Click ... although it has made my wait that much harder!
It does look fantastic (Did that guys just stab his enemy in the head?)! I can see it now ... I am so going to have "kill me" markers constantly over my head!
What are the opinions of those guys that already have it?

I played three or so matches and what I have seen of it I liked,was just lost on the new maps which is to be expected.
After playing MAG in 256 player matches I really do not think I will ever look at another Multi-player FPS the same.Sort of weird not seeing anyone to shoot at for periods of time in BC2,sort of feels lonely lol.
None the less of what I have seen of the game is really good and considering that I could not stand MW2 this definitely fills the void from CoD 4.
My favorite thing,MEDIC IS BACK!.That was my favorite class in the PC version of BF2 and I am so glad these games are starting to include them again.
So is it worth getting,yes.Is it the MAG killer,hard to say,I do not really think they can be compared.

I'll probably get it for PS3 eventually, my PC was too crap to run the beta smoothly. Just bad timing, same release date as Yakuza 3 which I've been eagerly awaiting, and 2 days after FFXIII's release.

Just remember PS3's are region free but DLC isn't
If you buy from OS you better have an OS PSN Account to buy the DLC if your game is from that region
PC - TOG|Click PS3-PSN - clickaus Guild Wars 2 - clickaus.9170

Back when I was in university I spent my summers working as an interpreter at Upper Canada Village. In my first summer, I spent a part of my time in a building called Crysler Hall. This is where the introductory slideshow was shown (yes, there was life before powerpoint). The presentation ran every 15 minutes in English on the one side of the building and every 15 minutes in French on the other. Now, any interpreter who has spent time in a building with a repeating soundtrack will tell you that after a while the words and music become permanently burned into your memory. Certain guides at our own Sinclair Inn Museum have been able to recite most of the monologues presented by the "ghosts" in the basement. In my case, I still have a large chunk of the Crysler Hall presentation in my memory.
The presentation essentially showed a year in the life of the village. When Fall came about, the narrator started to wrap things up with the biblical quote "to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven". After hearing this hundreds of times I ended up spending the better part of the summer with the Byrds song Turn! Turn! Turn! stuck in my head. There is something about the current transition that we are going through that brings all of this to mind. In fact, at this time of year I think I still half consciously walk around with these words and music in my mind.
Despite the fact that I am not quite ready to let go of Summer, all of the signs are lined up that Autumn is on the way. The air has started to turn a bit more crisp in the evenings, the Annapolis Heritage Society's summer staff have mostly left for their respective universities and I ate my first local apple of the season yesterday. We are also going through a typical transition in our annual visitor patterns. When we get close to Labour Day we stop seeing large numbers of family groups coming through our doors. Within a week or so, we will start to see more retired couples and groups who are able to enjoy shoulder season travel. To be honest, I quite enjoy these visitors. Our shoulder season visitors usually have a bit more time to chat and learn about things at the museum. While I could do with a bit more warm weather, I must admit that "to everything there is a season".
All for now,
