Site MTJ02: Ivy Creek Natural Area
Elevation: 548 ft. Ivy Creek Natural Area is a 215-acre preserve located adjacent to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Habitats vary from upland forest, pine stands, and open fields to shoreline. With 11 trails, including a handicap-accessible trail, this site offers nature enthusiasts numerous opportunities for viewing wildlife. Resident red-tailed, and red-shouldered hawks patrol these woods year-round. In the spring, look for a variety of songbirds migrating through, such as blue-winged and Tennessee warblers. Fall brings migrant blackpoll and bay-breasted warblers as well as hermit thrush. Nesting neotropical songbirds include prairie and pine warblers, indigo bunting, red-eyed and yellow-throated vireos, Louisiana waterthrush and scarlet tanagers. Along the edges, during migration, look for spotted and solitary sandpipers. Resident species include barred owl, pileated woodpecker, American crow, white-breasted nuthatch, Carolina wren and eastern towhee. Several species of salamanders, including the red-spotted newt, spring and northern red salamanders can be found beneath logs and rocks along spring-fed creeks. Upland chorus and northern cricket frogs take residence here, as does American toad and spring peeper. In addition to salamanders, several species of bats are known to inhabit these woodlands including eastern pipistrelle, evening bat, and big brown bat. White-tailed deer are abundant, and occasionally, black bear can be found rummaging through the woods. Martin's Branch is also a good place to look for mink. Dragonflies such as slaty and great spangled skimmers patrol the open water. Dancing butterflies flit about in colorful array; look for eastern tiger, spicebush, eastern black, and pipevine and zebra swallowtails, red-spotted purple, northern pearly-eye, hackberry emperor, monarch and its mimic, the viceroy.
From Ragged Mountain Natural Area, return to US 29 North. Travel north on US 29 for 5.6 miles (watch for the exit for US 29 North at the end of the bypass, 3.2 miles from I-64) to Rt. 631/Rio Road. Turn left onto Rt. 631/Rio Road; continue for 1.1 miles to Rt. 743/Earlysville Road. Turn right on Rt. 743/Earlysville Road and proceed 0.4 miles to Ivy Creek Natural Area on the left.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Just because Eddie Sutton's team won the game doesn't mean he had to like it. And he didn't, at least not the second half.
Sutton found little to be happy about during the final 20 minutes of No. 15 Oklahoma State's 67-51 victory against Baylor. After playing crisply in taking a 41-19 halftime lead, the Cowboys were sloppy and got outplayed during much of the second half.
"We lost our intensity, and it shows up in rebounding, it shows up in careless passing ... but we won the game," Sutton said. "I think it bothers any coach who's been in the game very long. It shouldn't happen to a senior ballclub."
One of those seniors, Brian Montonati, scored all 13 of his points in the first half, when the Cowboys (16-2, 5-1 Big 12 Conference) took control. A freshman, Andre Williams, was one of the bright spots of the second half, scoring all his 11 points.
Oklahoma State shot 53 percent in the first half and 50 percent for the game, while Baylor (10-8, 1-6) was held to a season-low 26 percent (17-of-65).
"We came up here and we had to do all we could to slow the game down a little bit," coach Dave Bliss said. "They're a great full-court team, whether it's defense or offense. We went through a period of about seven minutes of the first half or so where we lost control of the game."
The Cowboys didn't score a basket until nearly three minutes had elapsed, but that started a 20-5 run that ended any doubt about the outcome. Montonati scored seven during that time, and Baylor went 11 straight trips without a basket during a portion of that spurt.
Oklahoma State closed the half with an 8-0 run that made it 41-19 at halftime. Baylor slowed the tempo in the second half, and the Cowboys appeared to lose interest, and as a result Baylor was able to keep the final score respectable.
The Cowboys were outscored 32-26 in the second half, when they committed 12 of their 18 turnovers.
"I thought we played really good basketball the first 20 minutes," Sutton said. "Second half, different story."
He called a timeout during the first minute of the second half to scold his team and later came out of his seat and yelled "What in the world's going on?" as he called another timeout.
He and his players took a little longer than usual to make it to the post-game interviews.
Oklahoma State's best player, Desmond Mason, said the Cowboys' inability to turn big leads into blowouts is a concern.
"You should have that killer instinct like some of these big men like Duke," he said. "They put people away. I think we should have that same killer instinct, but we didn't show it today."
Baylor was forced to do most of its shooting from the perimeter and it didn't work. The Bears had five first-half 3-pointers but wound up just 8-of-34 from beyond the arc.
Glendon Alexander and Andre Williams scored 11 each for Oklahoma State. Mason had just 10 points, nine below his average, but grabbed 10 rebounds and had four steals.
Tevis Stukes had 15 points and DeMarcus Minor scored 13 for the Bears.

Supplement Watch St. John's Wort and Kava
by David Schardt
While studies of mood-altering herbs like St. Johns wort and kava look promising, researchers have focused on people who suffer from clinical depression or anxiety‹not those who say they just feel "blue" or "edgy."
If you have clinical depression or anxiety, popping pills shouldnt substitute for seeking professional help.
Research into drugs and the mind is notoriously difficult to do. People often improve as much when they take a (inactive) placebo as when they take a drug or herb.
Herbs are rarely tested to see if they cause cancer, birth defects, kidney or liver toxicity, fertility troubles, or other long-term safety problems.
Herbs are not as carefully manufactured as drugs. You may or may not get the potency thats listed on the label.
Heres what you need to know about the two most popular mood-altering herbs.
Three additional studies in the meta-analysis pitted St. Johns wort against prescription antidepressants for four to six weeks. Sixty-four percent of the herb-takers improved, compared to 58 percent of the drug-takers. Statistically, thats a tie.
These studies only used low doses of the older tricyclic antidepressants like Toframil, not the new generation of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Prozac or Zoloft, points out Bradwejn. So we dont know how well St. Johns wort compares with them.
Even so, the humble herb looks pretty impressive. And it looks even better when you consider that volunteers who took St. Johns wort reported no more side effects than people who got the placebos. Whats more, they were less than half as likely to report side effects as those who took the antidepressant drugs.
Some St. Johns wort-takers complained of dizziness, gastrointestinal upset, increased sensitivity to sunlight, fatigue, and confusion. But these problems were usually mild, says Jerry Cott, chief of the Adult Psychopharmacology Research Program at the National Institute of Mental Health in Rockville, Maryland.
So why not take St. Johns wort on your own if you think youre depressed?
Long-term safety is always a question with herbs, of course. Traditionally, St. Johns wort was not used every day for long periods of time. more, relying on St. Johns wort alone could delay you from getting the help you really need.
People can self-diagnose their problems incorrectly and not realize that they suffer from something that would benefit from other kinds of therapy rather than from a pill, says Bradwejn. Plus, they dont always remember how well they should feel and when to stop taking medication or when to keep taking it.
People who suffer from depression frequently become isolated from others, says Soo Borson, director of Geropsychiatry Services at the University Of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. Effective treatment includes help in reconnecting with others. Going into the cupboard for St. Johns wort to treat ones depression by oneself may be counterproductive.
Bradwejns advice: Someone whose depression is not too intense might try St. Johns wort with the aid of a psychologist or psychiatrist. Like prescription antidepressants, it takes a minimum of four weeks to kick in, so set a goal of eight weeks for the relief of symptoms. If it hasnt worked by then, try something else.
Beating the Blues
Try to find the depression on any bottle or advertisement for St. Johns wort. Why it there? A dietary supplement company that uses the d word risks getting its product confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for even suggesting that it can prevent or treat a disease.
Thats why all youll see are vague invitations to try St. Johns wort if you want to beat the blues (Prosol Plus), if you feel like life has let you down (HyperiCalm), or if you need something to help maintain emotional balance and well-being (Kira).
While those claims are legal (dont call us; its Congresss fault), theyre not based on any scientific studies. No ones ever looked to see if St. Johns wort can help people who arent suffering from clinical depression shake the blues or get back on track.
Down the Pipe
This fall, St. Johns wort will be the subject of the first major federally funded study of an herbal supplement.
The trial, which is being sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, will pit the Kira brand against both a placebo and a popular antidepressant for eight weeks in 336 patients suffering from moderate to severe depression. People who respond to St. Johns wort will be followed up for an additional four months. Kira is the brand most often used in the successful European studies. Its made by Lichtwer Pharma, which also makes the popular Kwai brand garlic supplement.
This new trial will bring the study of St. Johns wort up to standard and put it on more solid scientific ground, says Bradwejn, who helped design the study. And it will develop a better profile of possible side effects.
Five published studies, all conducted in Europe, have compared kava with (lookalike but kava-free) placebos in several hundred people with mild to moderate clinical anxiety.1-5 Thats far more than occasionally feeling nervous or tense. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an anxiety disorder may make you feel anxious most of the time, without any apparent reason. Or the anxious feelings may be so uncomfortable that, to avoid them, you may stop some everyday activities.
Most of the people in the studies had been diagnosed with at least one anxiety disorder such as agoraphobia‹a fear of having panic attacks in public places.
Researchers tracked how well they did on the kava or placebo using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), a standard tool used in testing anti-anxiety drugs. It measures how much a person anticipates the worst, feels tense, is fearful, has difficulty sleeping and concentrating, and suffers an array of other mental and physical problems. Normal scores are 17 or less, while 25 indicates a state of mild anxiety and 30 a state of moderate anxiety.
Most of us dont suffer from clinical anxiety. But we do have to cope with the hassles and annoyances of daily life. Can kava help?
Only one study has looked. Its details they havent been reviewed or published in a scientific journal yet were released on the World Wide Web last April by the makers of Kavatrol, which was used in the research (www.natrol.com).
We looked at the effect of kava on the kind of stress you might suffer if your mother-in-law were coming to visit and the two of you didnt get along, says the studys principal investigator, Nirbhay Singh of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
Singh used the Daily Stress Inventory, which tracks the impact of relatively minor daily events that are perceived as stressful, annoying, or unpleasant like being stared at, having car trouble, or arguing with a spouse or mate.
Kavatrol relieved this kind of stress within a week and continued to work during the four weeks we studied it in 29 people who were suffering more than an average amount of stress, says Singh, who became familiar with kava in his native Fiji.
The 31 other over-stressed people who received a placebo found no relief, says Singh, who adds that he has submitted his research for publication in a scientific journal.
Kava Caveats
The more appropriate place for kava is if youre about to be prescribed a tranquilizer to treat your mild or moderate anxiety, says Jerry Cott of the National Institute of Mental Health.
You might discuss with your doctor trying kava first because it seems to work for some people and doesnt have the problems of dependence that most conventional anti-anxiety drugs do.
If you take kava, here are three things to watch out for:
Alcohol Kava may increase the effects of alcohol, so kava users shouldnt drink alcoholic beverages, advises Steven Dentali, a natural products pharmacologist who has reviewed the evidence on kavas safety for the herb industry. Some labels (Kavatrol, Soloray, and Natures Way, for example) carry a warning about alcohol. Others (like Country Life) dont.
Drug interactions Kava may also interact with prescription medications, cautions Dentali. In 1996, a Georgia man slipped in and out of consciousness a week after he began taking kava to wean himself off Xanax. His doctors blamed it on the kava-Xanax combination.6
The impact of kava on prescription drugs is the big, serious unknown about this herb, concedes Gary Friedman, who heads the Kava Committee, a consortium of kava-selling companies.
Safety Like most other dietary supplements, kava has not been tested to see if it causes cancer, birth defects, or other long-term safety problems.

I was able to run the following command:
git clone admin@ip address:gitolite-admin.git
When I tried adding a new user using the steps below, the new user was unable to connect:
Steps taken so far:
1. Copied the public key into the keydir (also tried copying it in a separate directory within the keydir)
2. I added a repo in the config file for the new userID
3. git add -A
4. git commit -m 'adding new user keys and repo'
5. git push origin master
All these commands run without throwing any errors.
When the user tries to login, he is unable to connect with the following command:
git clone username@IPAddress:newRepoName.git
The connection times out complaining about unable to connect on port 22. Any suggestions to help troubleshoot this (the public key for the user was generated from his computer - same one is being used for logging in as user - different computer was used for admin access). Thanks in advance
Edit: I removed the public key for a (non-admin) user, ran commit and pushed to the server after which I added a new public key for the user, ran add, commit & pushed to server. The response for the admin mentioned that the user was added. However, when the user tries connecting to the server using the command below, the connection attempt is unsuccessful (I can clone the project from my computer - the additional user cannot, neither can any other user so I am guessing I made a mistake in configuring additional users - any thoughts would be quite welcome and thanks for the patience)

SMF snapshots, or why didn't my property change show up in svcprop?
By user12820842 on Jul 25, 2008
One area of SMF that is a bit confusing is the whole notion of snapshots, refresh and how property updates occur. I find this a bit tricky myself, so if there's mistakes below, I'll happily correct them.
A snapshot is essentially a read-only picture of a set of property groups associated with an instance and its parent service. The most important snapshot is the 'running' snapshot, as it is the place applications (including svcprop) and service methods should read their configuration from. Why is this?
My understanding is that the snapshot model is there (in part at least) to allow atomic commit of multiple changes. This is particularly important for services that consume such configuration information. Imagine I want to change two properties in an inetd service. I'd like to change a tcp service from a wait-type (only handling one connection at a time) to a nowait-type service with a specific maximum connection rate. I need to change two properties - the 'wait' property, and the 'max_con_rate' property, since nonzero values for the latter only makes sense for nowait services. The snapshot model allows me to change each individually with svccfg, then refresh. The refresh action updates the running snapshot to contain a read-only picture of the latest values of my properties (it also runs the refresh method associated with the service instance, if there is one). Then entities consuming these values will see both changes at once as the running snapshot is updated atomically.
Sometimes you'll see the actual service and instance property values referred to as the 'configuration' or 'editing' snapshot, but that's not quite accurate, since as we saw above, snapshots are read-only and we make our changes to the actual configuration values, not a frozen picture of them.
If you select an instance using svccfg, you can see there's a bunch of snapshots in addition to 'running':
# svccfg -s nwam svc:/network/physical:nwam> listsnap initial last-import previous running start svc:/network/physical:nwam>
Here we see another aspect of snapshots. svccfg(1M) allows us to revert back to earlier snapshots. The names of the various snapshots are pretty self-explanatory. The idea is, if I mess up my configuration, I just need to revert to the initial snapshot, or the one associated with last manifest import, etc.
You'll note something that seems weird - 'refresh' can be carried out both by svcadm and svccfg. Why is this? Well as we saw earlier, refresh has a configuration component - update the running snapshot - and an action component - run the refresh method. Configuration actions belong in svccfg, and actions in svcadm, so it makes sense to have refresh in both. Also, it's possible you may need to update the running snapshot in a SMF repository that's not currently running - maybe you made a configuration change that makes the system unbootable, and it's in the running snapshot, so you can't fix it with svccfg. Having refresh in svccfg makes such problems fixable, since it can operate on an inactive SMF repository. More on this another time.
So finally, why didn't my svccfg property change show up in svcprop? Because svcprop reads from the running snapshot, and until refresh is run, the changes haven't hit that snapshot yet.

Showtime is rushing its new Kirstie Alley series "Fat Actress" to DVD to capitalize on the cable TV show's unusually high public awareness.
A window of less than 90 days is considerably shorter than Showtime typically has for its series. Variety said Showtime series tend to be released on DVD anywhere from six months to nine months after they premiere on the pay cable channel.
The "Fat Actress" premiere ranked among the highest for Showtime.
Alley stars as herself in seven episodes of the series, an account of her weight issues and the ways her weight gain has complicated her acting career.

I have a hyper-v server that runs 5 virtual machines. I believe the physical box rebooted last night which is usually not a problem but this morning one of the virual machines is stuck at "restoring 0%". I have rebooted the physical machine and same thing, 4 virtual machines come up fine the 5th gets stuck at "restoring 0%". I right-clicked the VM in hyper-v manager and selected "Cancel restore" and nothing happens. I was able to copy the VHD to another hyper-v box and light it up there so I know the VHD is good.
Any ideas on what to look at next? If I can I would like to just dump the saved state and move on, or if there is a better way to handle it I'm all ears.

Summer can be a mixed blessing when it comes to achieving your fitness goals. It stays light later in the evening so you have more time to fit in fitness, there's a wealth of fun activities to choose from, and it's easy and pleasurable to get in lots of extra walking and biking. On the downside, the heat can make you just want to lie in a hammock until fall. A vacation feels like a great excuse to skip exercise entirely. And let's face it, lounging poolside sure is a lot easier than doing laps!
Want this to be the summer you get into shape once and for all? Here are some practical ways to kick off the summer season exercise wise.
Establish goals.The way to do this is to focus on S-M-A-R-T goal setting: Set goals that are Specific (think about exactly what you want to achieve and how you will do it), Measurable (so you can see the progress you're making), Achievable (you're much more likely to maintain goals when they're achievable), Realistic (consider your limitations and set goals within your capabilities), and Timely (every great goal is set on a timeline).
Shake up your exercise routine. There's a reason they call it static state cardio—it's so static that you won't see results. Instead, engage in interval exercise, in which you alternate brief bursts of intense walking, biking, or swimming with periods of slower recovery. On the days when you don't do intervals, schedule some core-strengthening exercises that will target the muscles in your back, abdomen, pelvis, and hips. These can certainly be done outside on a towel in the yard or even at the beach, allowing you to soak up the great weather while you're getting fit.
Take the weather into consideration. If it's sunny, be sure to wear sunscreen, along with UV-protective sunglasses and a hat. Wearing light colors in warm weather will keep you cooler by reflecting sunlight, and a light jacket that you can remove and tie around your waist is a good idea when the weather is iffy. Take a water bottle even if you are only taking a 20-minute walk, and if you like listening to music on a headset, keep it low enough to still hear the traffic noise. If you can't exercise outdoors, head to an air conditioned mall and do your interval walk there. With global warming, it's going to be over 100 degrees in some areas this summer, so you may want to think about doing intervals in a pool.
Don't go it alone. Whether you enlist your teen, your spouse, or your roommate or best friend to work out with you, it helps to have a buddy. Taking a walk solo just isn't as interesting as exercising with someone you can chat with. Can't rouse anyone in your house to go for a 6 A.M. walk? Your dog is a willing workout companion no matter what time it is.
Don't let a day off derail your goals. If you skip a couple of days of exercise, view this as a temporary setback rather than a permanent fixture, and don't use your hiatus as an excuse to abandon your fitness routine entirely. Instead of bemoaning the setback, as in "I missed my workout today so I may as well quit," just pick up where you left off as soon as possible.
Celebrate your accomplishments. To reinforce a job well done, give yourself a nonfood reward when you reach a fitness goal you've set for yourself. But don't settle for settling into a ho-hum exercise routine for the rest of the summer. Come up with another fitness goal to achieve: If you always walk for exercise, for example, get that bike out of the garage and start doing biking intervals. Sign up for a charity walk with friends. Or get up an hour earlier than usual each day of your vacation to take a long walk on the beach, in the woods, or wherever you can.

Director: Brian De Palma
Runtime: 119 minutes
Year: 1987
TV Rating: TV14
The Untouchables is a 1987 American crime-drama film directed by Brian De Palma and written by David Mamet. Based on the book The Untouchables, the film stars Kevin Costner as government agent Eliot Ness. It also stars Robert De Niro as gang leader Al Capone and Sean Connery as Irish-American officer Jimmy Malone. The film follows Ness' autobiographical account of his efforts to bring Capone to justice during the Prohibition era.
The Untouchables was released on June 3, 1987, and received positive reviews. Observers praised the film for its approach, as well as its direction. The film was also a financial success, grossing $76 million domestically. The Untouchables was nominated for four Academy Awards, of which Connery received one for Best Supporting Actor.
In Chicago, gang leader Al Capone (Robert De Niro) has nearly the whole city – including the Mayor of Chicago – under his control and supplies low-quality liquor at high prices during the Prohibition era. Bureau of Prohibition agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) is summoned to stop Capone's corruption. Ness conducts raids using a large squad of uniformed officers.

Sparano rips receivers
It didn't take much for Dolphins coach Tony Sparano to rip into his receivers in his post-morning practice media session Wednesday.
Sparano is fed up with the continued penchant for the receivers and running backs dropping passes. He said it was bad at last Saturday's scrimmage and has been getting worse.
"There were 10 [drops] in yesterday's practice and there's too many dropped passes today. Individual period today, we didn't catch the ball. We're running routes on air and we're not catching the ball. Again this has a lot to do with what we're going to see here in a couple of days. We go to the games and we don't catch the ball, I can get anybody to do that. I have not been happy with that end of the deal right now. We have to keep the ball off the ground," he said.
"I think a lot of it has to do with the heat, concentration, some of those things," he continued. "They did spend a little more time with the jugs [machine], with the quarterbacks, those type of things. But at the end of the day, it's throwing and catching. Some of those guys have been doing it since they were six years old."
Terry Glenn, come on down!
Oronde Gadsden?
Lamar Thomas was at Saturday's practice. Got a number?
OK, guys how many receivers in camp do you think will still be on the opening day roster?

Does the World Need a Prescription Drug for Jet Lag?
We've never really thought of jet lag as anything more than annoyance that travelers must endure and overcome. But it turns out it's a "disorder" — and Cephalon hopes it has just the prescription remedy for it.
In a study of 427 people who flew from the eastern U.S. to France, those who took the company's Nuvigil for three days showed a statistically significant improvement of jet-lag symptoms over those who took a placebo, Cephalon said today.
The measurements were based in part on something called the Multiple Sleep Latency Test. The company presented a press release, not the complete results — an important caveat. The company says it expects to submit the data for presentation at a future meeting.
Cephalon says jet lag is among "circadian rhythm sleep disorders," disruptions in people's internal body clocks that control sleep patterns. It pointed us to this description of jet lag from the CDC and this from the International Classification of Sleep Disorders.
Nuvigil is currently approved to improve wakefulness in people with narcolepsy or whose regular slumber has been disturbed by shift work or sleep apnea.
This would also be the first use of Nuvigil that the drug doesn't share with Provigil, its predecessor that is expected to go generic in 2012. Cephalon has been creating incentives, including a price hike on Provigil, that can drive patients from Provigil over to Nuvigil, which is expected to hit the U.S. market in the third quarter.
The jet-lag approval would help Cephalon market Nuvigil to a broader range of doctors, but it could face a tough road at the FDA "given this indication may be viewed as 'lifestyle' (less severe) and would enable use of the drug in a broader population," Goldman Sachs analyst Shibani Malhotra wrote in a note to investors.
Cephalon expects to submit an application to the FDA for the jet-lag use in the third quarter. It would be the first prescription drug approved for such a use.
"We do acknowledge that this is an acute condition that does resolve itself once someone does adjust to a local time zone," Cephalon spokeswoman Candace Steele tells the Health Blog. Still, she adds, "there is a functional impairment for people who have jet lag disorder."

We assessed the prevalence of a range of psychopathology among African unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) in Austria. Additionally, the predictive value of war exposure on PTSD symptoms was examined. Forty-one URMs were assessed with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for children and adolescents, the Youth Self-Report, the UCLA PTSD Reaction Index and Facts About You. As expected, 56% of youth had at least one diagnosis by structured clinical interview. The most common diagnoses were adjustment disorder, PTSD and dysthymia. War affliction marginally predicted (p = 0.065) PTSD controlling for age and gender. URMs had high levels of psychopathology compared to norms. Their PTSD rates were somewhat lower than found in previous studies. We discuss methodological and substantive reasons for this finding. Future studies need to examine URMs across the entire diagnostic spectrum and employ multi-method designs to yield valid results. The psychopathology in URMs has clinical and forensic implications.

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a closed immersion between smooth projective complex varieties. Suppose that the codimension of (the image of) $Y$ in $X$ is equal to $r \ge 1$. This induces the Gysin morphism $f_{\*}:H^{k}(X) \to H^{k+2r}(Y)$. Is there any known example/criterion for which the Gysin morphism $f_*$ is surjective at least when $k$ is even?
It seems natural to approach this by trying to compute the mixed Hodge structure on $Y \setminus X$. The cohomology carries a weight filtration $W_\bullet$ and the Gysin map will be surjective if and only if the lowest weight part $ W_{k+2r}H^{k+2r}(Y \setminus X, \mathbf Q) $ vanishes.
I suppose that you are discussing Betti cohomology with coefficient in $\mathbb{Q}$.
Using the long exact sequence $$\cdots \to H^{k}(X,\mathbb{Q}) = H^{k+2r}(Y,Y \backslash X,\mathbb{Q}) \to H^{k+2r}(Y,\mathbb{Q}) \to H^{k+2r}(Y\backslash X,\mathbb{Q}) \to \cdots$$ we see that the surjectivity of the Gysin morphism $f_\*$ is equivalent to the vanishing of the pullback morphism $i^*:H^{k+2r}(Y,\mathbb{Q}) \to H^{k+2r}(Y\backslash X,\mathbb{Q})$, where $i$ is the open immersion $Y\backslash X \to Y$. (Since your $Y$ is smooth and projective, the Hodge structure on $H^{k+2r}(Y,\mathbb{Q})$ is pure, which explains the equivalence given by Dan)
We know that $Ker \ i^*$ is a sub-Hodge structure of (Hodge) coniveau $\ge r$ of $H^{k+2r}(Y,\mathbb{Q})$, it says in particular that if you want your Gysin morphism $f_{*}$ to be surjective, your $H^{k+2r}(Y, \mathbb{Q})$ should at least have coniveau $\ge r$! ($\leftarrow$ This should be seen as an exclamation mark, not a factorial notation...)

Once More, With Feeling: The Enthusiasm Gap In Context
This item by Ed Kilgore was originally published on October 7, 2010.
I apologize if this site has lately become "enthusiasmgap.com," but for Democrats, properly understanding the turnout patterns we are likely to see on November 2--what they do and don't represent--is going to be kind of important to the strategy chosen going forward.
Nate Silver has definitively weighed in on the subject, and reached conclusions that we've been offering for a good long while now: much of the "enthusiasm gap" between the two parties is structural, and has to do with the differential turnout patterns of various demographic groups in midterm elections (with Democrats currently more dependent than in the past on low-midterm-voting groups like under-30s and Latinos); and part of it is that a radicalized conservative base is indeed very excited by their conquest of the GOP:
The enthusiasm gap has more to do with abnormally high levels of Republican interest in the election than with despondent Democrats.
Gallup periodically asks a question about whether voters are more enthusiastic than usual about voting in the midterms. When they did so in March, shortly after passage of the health care bill, 57 percent of Democrats said they were more excited than usual about voting in the November elections. This was, in fact, the highest figure that Gallup had ever recorded among Democrats in a midterm year (they began tracking the question in 1994). The problem for Democrats? Some 69 percent of Republicans also answered the question affirmatively. As I wrote at the time, "if the Democrats' total was record-breaking, Republicans just blew the competition away in Usain Bolt-type fashion...."
Also, we should remember that the Democrats usually have some trouble turning out their base at the midterms, since they rely on constituencies, like young voters and racial minorities, who traditionally do not vote in large numbers in these elections. Their 2010 numbers, therefore, mostly reflect a return to normal (in fact, perhaps slightly better than normal). It was 2006, when Democrats were energized by the Iraq War and other perceived excesses of the Bush administration, that was the odd year out.
There are two big takeaways that Democrats must understand from the enthusiasm gap data. The first is that it's a mistake to primarily assign turnout disparities to an insufficiently progressive agenda from the Obama administration. Maybe a different agenda would have been a good idea on policy grounds, or might have had a different impact on the congressional dynamics. But there's really little evidence that the discouragement we see among progressive elites is that widely shared among rank-and-file Democratic voters, whose relative likelihood to vote or not to vote is more easily explainable by structural factors.
Second, Republicans may be benefitting today from the hyper-excitement of its radicalized conservative base. But they will pay a price in the long run for the sort of agenda and rhetoric they are being driven to. That will become immediately evident in the 2012 cycle, when GOPers are forced to disclose their extremist hopes and dreams for the country, in the context of an electorate that is automatically less favorable.
For those who simply can't buy the idea that there hasn't been a calamitious deterioration of support for the Democratic Party since 2008, it's important to remember that the electorate we are likely to see on November 2 would have almost certainly vaulted John McCain to the presidency two years ago. The 2008 coalition isn't dead; it's quite literally not showing up, by the sort of small margins that only matter on election days.
And those who are engaged in GOTV activities this year should take courage in the fact that they are not only helping offset the impact of an excited conservative base right now; they are also setting the stage for a 2012 battle in which the political winds are very likely to change direction, even before Republicans finish celebrating whatever gains they secure on November 2.

Leadership Crack-ups
March 01, 1998
Literature Lost: Social Agendas and the Corruption of the Humanities; John M. Ellis; Yale University Press, 272 pages. Probably no discipline in the American university has been as debased by political correctness as the study of literature. English departments, especially, have born the brunt first of deconstructionist theory and more recently, of the race, gender, and class oriented criticism that has led not only to a repudiation of the traditional canon, but to the questioning of virtually every intellectual and pedagogical premise that shaped the profession until about a generation ago. In most English departments, the generational schism runs deep between those older faculty who were trained in New Criticism and close textual analysis of the Anglo-American canon of great writers, and younger, more radical faculty, who are deeply and often irrationally committed to the use of nontraditional literature as a vehicle for social change. In Literature Lost, John M. Ellis offers a thorough and detailed analysis of the consequent "cultural wars" and their impact on the status and future of literature in the academy. His conclusions are troubling to anyone who values intellectual objectivity in the classroom or who believes in the moral and ethical power of great literature to uplift and inspire. A new Rosseauism Ellis views the new literary radicalism as a revival of the Rosseauist attack on Enlightenment values, but the extent of the current transformation of literary study raises serious questions about the intellectual viability of the humanities in many institutions for the foreseeable future. Far from being a new idea, political correctness actually represents "a recurring impulse in Western society — one with a discouraging history." Rosseau's egalitarian ideals led after the French Revolution not to a utopia in France but to Robespierre's reign of terror, and the same pattern was repeated after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. But the current onslaught of political correctness could not have come at a worse time for American students, who are already discouraged from reading by excessive television, the anti-intellectualism of popular culture, and declining public school standards. The power of Ellis's analysis lies in his unmasking of the logical fallacies inherent in much "PC" thinking, and though his analysis might not persuade the radical feminist who rejects rationality itself as "patriarchal oppression," it is essential that the underlying irrationality of race, gender, and class theory be exposed. It is also essential that the American public understand the profound threat to academic freedom inherent in political correctness. Though PC has been much criticized by journalists and has not gained much popular acceptance, it is firmly entrenched in the academy, and its influence there may have indirect effects on the future of American democracy. Anti-Foundationalism Under the "anti-foundational" rubric, the race-gender-class critics have overturned virtually all of the dominant assumptions about the nature of literature. Any aesthetic or stylistic criteria of excellence are dismissed as "elitist." Literature is not meant to educate or uplift; the past has nothing to teach us but imperialism, colonialism, and oppression of non-Europeans. There is no reason to prefer Shakespeare over Alice Walker. Teaching the traditional canon of "dead white male" authors may be harmful to minorities or women. Criticism is not about the content of a work, but about implicit questions of power relations and domination. Instead of expanding the study of literature, however, PC critics narrow it to a single set of issues and deny literature its separate and independent status as art. They make the simple, logical error of assuming that because all literature does have a political dimension, that dimension must always be the most important concern. In pursuing their arguments against opponents, PC critics often resort to ad hominem arguments, either/or fallacies, oversimplification, the fallacy of the single factor, conspiracy theories, and other logical fallacies. What unifies them is their anti-foundational epistemology: radical skepticism, nihilism, and sophistry about the status or attainability of any absolute values or knowledge. Any attempt to apply critical standards to literature is dismissed as foundational thinking. For "social constructionists," all knowledge is socially created and has no objective validity. In place of an older generation of faculty who taught primarily out of a love of literature, many younger faculty frankly express their contempt for literature per se and admit that their interests have nothing to do with literature itself but with bringing about social change. Far from promoting critical thinking in the classroom, many PC critics actually stifle it. Some feminist critics have gone so far as to require students to sign a formal declaration of acceptance of feminist values before being admitted to a course in which intellectual dissent is forbidden. These trends have so altered the profession of literature that many English departments are divided primarily on the degree of their members' radicalism: on whether to teach the traditional canon from a radical perspective or to replace it altogether with a PC canon. Solutions Given these disheartening trends, what is to be done? The tenured radicals of the Sixties are firmly entrenched, and despite Frank Lentricchia's mea culpa in the September/October 1996 issue of Lingua Franca, there is little evidence that things will change. But it is important to publicize these changes within the profession of English, especially to trustees and alumni who need to know what is happening within their institutions. New professional organizations — such as the National Association of Scholars and the Association of Literary Scholars and Critics — can offer a counter-voice to the ideological excesses of the Modern Language Association. The passage of California's Proposition 209 and recent Supreme Court decisions on affirmative action may help restore a belief in meritocracy and individual excellence rather than group entitlement. But more than anything else, a strengthening of public education and a healthy skepticism about intellectual fads and trends within the profession will help restore sanity and balance to the humanities and help them regain a sense of their traditional mission and purpose within a liberal arts education

And vice versa? What about other distributions too?
For pretty much any software where the source code is available you will almost always be able to get it to work perfectly on any Linux distro (and usually any UNIX-like variant)
However, there are several "commercial" software products that will only work on RedHat. One shameful example is HP OpenView (particularly since Bruce Perens, a former DPL worked for HP for several years and Debian was for a short time HP's recommended distro).
These products often have installation scripts that depend on RedHat specific config files or file locations; or require kernel modules that have been pre-built against RedHat distributed kernels.
Through dedication you might be able to get them to run but it's often a huge pain in the ass. And you'll be running in a totally unsupported configuration as far as the vendor is concerned.
I am sure there are a few exception cases, but in general most Linux software is pretty portable across major distros. With Ubuntu and it's cousin Debian being two of the largest distros, it is unlikely that program authors would ignore them. The major exception is that not all versions are packaged for all distros in a prompt fashion. You might run into situations where one distro has a newer version currently in their repositories than another distro.
In general you are more likely to find software packaged for Ubuntu and Not Fedora/RedHat than you are the other way around, but that is a generalization and there is some software found in each that isn't in the others.

This week was busy with a lot of decisions being made behind-the-scenes while other changes were taking place on the job site. Here's the progress we made on our new home in week three of this ongoing series, Building a Home:
April 13: We arrived at the house to see that installation of the Dryvit on the dormers had been completed. We only chose the color for the Dryvit on Friday, a mocha shade, so to have it completed by Sunday was wonderful and it looks great. Happily, we noticed that the front door hardware was also installed. It is incredible how these little signs of progress have the power to make you so happy.
April 14: We want to install a wood countertop on the perimeter kitchen cabinets so I spent some time reviewing wood samples I ordered from Craft-Art Wood Countertops. We have a distressed American Cherry countertop in our current home and I love it, but don't necessarily want to repeat it in the new color scheme. Instead, I ordered samples of wenge, an exotic wood, along with three types of black walnut in planks: traditional black walnut, distressed black walnut and what Craft-Art calls Rustic Black Walnut, which includes knots. We're leaning toward the Rustic Black Walnut.
April 15: Met with Ron Abney of Unlimited Home Theater to discuss the plans for wiring the house for phone, cable, Internet and surround sound. We approved a plan for some basic wiring and installing our existing surround sound system in the basement. Stayed at the house for a meeting with K Brothers Fence of Orland Park, Ill., to get a quote on a privacy fence to keep our dogs enclosed in the yard. We were thrilled to find that they offer a fence in a sage green, which we hope will be the exterior color of the house.
Speaking of sage green, while at the house, we looked at five new paint colors builder Steve Lecas of Gander Builders put on the exterior wall. I'm amazed that many of the so-called sage greens we chose from last week's trip to Sherwin-Williams look like battleship gray on the brick exterior. It took just moments to decide on Sherwin-Williams 7734 Olive Grove. The Boral® PastelCote® masonry coating will be tinted to match this shade.
April 16: After much anticipation, we finally received the estimate from White Eagle Custom Solutions, Inc., a custom cabinet manufacturer in Plainfield, Ill. We had made a lot of changes to the original cabinet order, so we had a lot to review. The result: only two hours of sleep as I mulled over our priorities into the early morning hours. Ultimately, we decided to drop the idea of built-in cabinetry in the mudroom. We have furniture that can fill that need and on our many travels and trips to antique shows, I'm sure we'll find something to fill the space. Otherwise, we made a few tweaks to the estimate and sit back again, while we wait for the revised costs.
April 17: Susan Lecas of Gander Builders and I took a field trip to Norstone in Crete, Ill. to look for countertop materials for the kitchen island and bathroom vanities. We have decided to go with wood on the perimeter kitchen cabinets but would like something different as a focal point for the island and I'd like to keep historically true to the home. I like the idea of green slate, so we met up with Kathy Vescovi of TTS Granite Inc. at Norstone to look at several slabs. I found one I liked right away. Then, we went to TTS Granite's showroom in Steger, Ill. There, we found a couple of great options for the shared upstairs bathroom top, a marble top for the master bath and a small piece of LG's Snowstorm white quartz for the laundry room sink. Which pieces we choose, will ultimately come down to price. In the meantime, we sit back and wait for the estimate.
April 18: Vescovi of TTS Granite stopped by our home early in the morning to take photos of the Carrara marble vanity top in our current master bathroom. It looks like a vintage washstand and I'd like that look replicated in the countertop in the new master bathroom. Later, we stopped by the house and discovered the the mason is nearly finished bricking the entire house. Next up will be the garage.

"Dear Steve,
My mother took out loans to fund my education with the best intentions in the world. Unfortunately because of some medical and educational setbacks, it took me 6 years to graduate and I'm sitting on around 100K in student loans, not sure how much is private and how much is federal :( After graduation I was laid off and then eventually quit my job while also being pregnant.
It took more than a year for me to get a job and by then all my creditors were calling or had called wanting me to start repayment. Even though I have a pretty good job now, a majority of my money is being eaten up by childcare and rent, as I live in a city with a high cost of living and I am a single parent.
I still have to worry about utilities, food, travel and credit card debts, I could not survive if my wages were garnished. I've offered small payments in concession to the creditors with hopes that as I get pay increases I can contribute more but they were not accepted.
What are my options to consolidate my payments and stretch out my loan period so that I can make manageable payments until better times come along?
Dear Jasmine,
What you will notice in the resources list below is that there are some really good options for dealing with your federal student loans. What you most likely what to look at is consolidating the federal loans and then putting it on the Income Based Repayment program.
The bigger problem is the private student loans. For those, the only two choices are either the programs the private lender offers or to wait till the loans are in default past their statute of limitations and then discharge those in bankruptcy.
But, if your mother took out these loans or guaranteed them, the lenders will go after her if you default.

Day X. Friday, Week I.
"By my life, I do not wish the sinner to die, says the Lord, but to turn
to me and live" (Communion Antiphon for today - Ez 33:11).
Santi Dodici Apostoli. The Church of the Twelve Apostles is my parish
church, erected by Julius I (337-352) over the barracks of ancient Rome's
firemen and entrusted since 1463 to the Conventual Franciscans (St.
Maximilian Kolbe lived here). It is a good symbol for we, the Church, in
that it has survived floods (esp. 1598), earthquakes (esp. 1348), fires
(esp. 1872), plagues, famines, and wars. Traditionally, this is the place
where the Romans choose their candidates for priesthood (Rite of
Election). Restored several times, it is stunning. So much so, I couldn't
get a good picture of it. Instead, I went down into the confessio, in the
style of the catacombs, where, as the signs indicate, the earthly remains
of Saints Philip and James the Less have been interred since 1 May 565.
Note the depiction of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the earliest icon of our
Lord. The sarcophagus depicts the Lord flanked by Philip and James and the
miracle of the Multiplication of the Loaves. Also in the confessio are
remains of unnamed martyrs, which were moved here from the catacombs for
their safety.

Woodlands Wellington FC 2 (Moon Soon Ho 28', Khalid Hamdaoui 72')
Warriors FC 2 (Sufian Anuar 68', Shimpei Sakurada 84')
Attendance: 1,723
Photo Credit: Warriors FC
Shimpei Sakurada's late equaliser saved Warriors FC and their head coach V. Selvaraj from embarrassment in a thrilling 2-2 S.League draw with Woodlands Wellington in front of 1,723 at Woodlands Stadium on Thursday evening.
The hosts missed an early penalty, but went ahead twice through Moon Soon Ho and Khalid Hamdaoui. The Warriors levelled first through Sufian Anuar before Sakurada ensured a share of the points.
A draw was a satisfactory start for the Rams, who had finished the last three seasons bottom of the table, but left the visitors seeking for their first competitive win after failure in the Charity Shield last Friday.
Woodlands were awarded a penalty after three minutes when Ang Zhiwei was brought down on the goal line by Sakurada after receiving a free kick from Hamdaoui.
Moon placed his spot-kick neatly, sending Warriors goalkeeper Hassan Sunny the wrong way, but denied by the bottom of the post.
Former Albirex Niigata (Singapore) midfielder Sakurada almost made amends immediately after his escape from culpability in conceding the penalty.
His rising shot from 20 metres out beat Woodlands custodian Yazid Yasin, but not the crossbar.
The former Geylang International goalkeeper also denied Sufian Anuar twice to ensure the match remained in the balance before his side struck at the other end on 28 minutes.
Chang Jo Yoon released Hamdaoui on the left as the latter galloped past a static Warriors backline. While Hassan covered to parry his initial effort, the rebound reached Moon who made no mistake from close range.
Woodlands came close to doubling the lead three minutes after the restart when a threatening cross from Ang just failed to reach Chang.
Their strike pairing of Hamdaoui and Moon nearly served up another goal for the Rams shortly after, but the final touch was missing as the ball bobbled unmolested across goal.
Sufian made the hosts pay for their profligacy when he glanced in a header on the right from a neat Sakurada cross to level the scores on 68 minutes.
The Rams regained the lead four minutes later when former Ajax Amsterdam trainee Hamdaoui, who was the star of the evening, reacted quickly to a Chang free kick and poked the ball into the net.
With six minutes to play, Warriors capitalised on a rare error from Yazid as Sakurada pounced on the Woodlands goalkeeper's slip off his earlier header to make sure the ball crossed the line.
A share of the points was the final outcome as both sides would seek to raise their respective games in the next round of league matches.
Woodlands Wellington (4-4-2): Yazid Yasin (GK); Cho Sung Hwan, Shahril Alias, Rosman Sulaiman (Hidhir Hasbiallah 88'), Ang Zhiwei; Atsushi Shimono, Khalid Hamdaoui, Farizal Basri (Taufiq Rahmat 68'), Armanizam Dolah (C); Chang Jo Yoon (Goh Swee Swee 82'), Moon Soon Ho
Warriors FC (4-4-2): Hassan Sunny (GK); Kazuyuki Toda, Abdil Qaiyyim, Daniel Bennett (C), Marin Vidosevic; Shi Jiayi, Tatsuro Inui, Shimpei Sakurada, Zakir Samsuddin; Sufian Anuar, Erwan Gunawan (Prakash Manikam 64')

Re: /settings/timeout/volatile not being honored?
Paul Alfille <paul.alfille <at> gmail.com>
You are using the timeout correctly, but there may be an issue with whether the timeout is sent to the owserver. What's your program setup? i.e. are you accessing owserver via owfs or owhttpd?

Solar System Warranties: What to Look For, What to Expect
Solar panels are built to last. That is why manufacturers tend to warranty their products for up to 25 years. That is, however, no reason to assume anything about your system's warranty. For one, it will certainly not include all of the system's components and, as with any product on today's market, will safeguard the manufacturer as much as possible. Here are some important items to look for in a warranty and some important items you are unlikely to find.
What to look for...
As I said, most high quality solar panels will have long-term warranties regarding panel function and degradation. This is due to the very makeup of the panels: no moving parts, protective tempered glass, non-corrosive aluminum framing, etc. However, different components will have different warranties. For instance,
- parts and labor typically come with a two-year warranty (although I have seen some as high as ten years…shop around),
- batteries will likely have limited 8-10 year warranties,
- inverters will also have a two-year warranty.
Now, the life span of these components usually far outstrips the warranty period but, nonetheless, these are things to look out for. Also, you will want to make sure that the warranty is included in the installer's bid for the system and make sure that…
- the warranty covers the removal, shipping, repair and reinstallation of the products.
- you know who is responsible for the warranty (i.e., contractor, manufacturer, etc.)
- you are aware of any safeguards against anyone involved going out of business.
What you are unlikely to find...
Your solar system will not be protected against acts of nature, vandalism and other incidents out of the control of the parties involved. For protection against storms and the like, you will have to work with your home insurance company.
Why you should take your time and not worry...
I reiterate, solar panels are built to last. It is simply one of the inherent advantages to panel production. It is what makes the up-front costs of solar installation a worthwhile investment. Solar manufacturers and installers are quite proud of this fact and love to use it as a selling point. But don't let that be the end of your investigation into the matter. Take your time, do research and shop around until you find what you want and who you want installing your system.
CalFinder Solar can connect you with local, pre-screened contractors in your area and help you get started quickly and easily.

Sunday was your textbook average late August day; after a morning low of 64 at Philadelphia International Airport there was sunshine and fair weather cumulus in the afternoon. This propelled the high to 83 degrees shortly before 4pm; this was thanks to high pressure and an easterly(onshore) wind between 10-15mph.
The clouds dissipated once the sun set so overnight it will be clear and seasonably cool with lows in the lower 60s(50s north and west); Monday will feature sunshine, fair weather clouds in the afternoon, and the wind will be variable from out of the north in the morning to from out of the southeast by the afternoon. Highs will be in the lower 80s once again. On Tuesday there will be more of a southerly to southwesterly wind as highs approach the middle 80s as a warm front progresses to the north in the afternoon. Come Wednesday a cold front will be approaching from the west so highs will be near 90(it will be hazy, hot, and humid) with showers and thunderstorms by the late afternoon and overnight(lows will be in the soupy lower 70s).
Morning showers and clouds will give way to some sunshine in the afternoon with highs in the middle 80s, but Friday we'll have a northerly flow so highs will be in the lower 80s, but it's short lived as another surge of warm air progresses northward for the Labor Day weekend. Highs on both Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 80s with overnight lows around 70; there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon as a frontal boundary is draped across the region.
Remember that you can check out the 7-day forecast(as well as obtain radar and satellite maps) any time at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.
