Patient Comments: Endocarditis - Symptoms
What were the symptoms associated with endocarditis for you or someone you know?
Comment from: zippy, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: December 16
My first symptom was a loss of appetite, I was losing 4 pounds per week. I had night sweats, tired all of the time. My physician was convinced it was an upper gastro intestinal issue and I went through testing for that. I then had a sharp pain in my right arm on the inner arm at the elbow bend. I later found out it was an infection from the vegetation that had broken off from my aortic valve. It took about 6 weeks until my physician ordered a blood culture that showed the blood infection and led to a 7 week hospital stay, a valve and root replacement/repair. I also had to have the ulnar blood vessel replaced by a vein from my leg due to the infection in the arm. My heart stopped in ICU after the first operation but I was revived by CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Even though my physician missed the diagnosis and put my life in jeopardy I feel fortunate the surgeons were on top of it and saved my life. I will look for second opinions in the future.

Yes even your Username will be free for example
After deleting your account any one can use that username, so you'll lose it if someone else registers it. If you want to retain it, deactivate your account rather than deleting it.

The story here is somewhat one-sided. Are there any equivalent thoughts on the number of users experiencing the results of these bugs, the total man-hours wasted by them on the user side, or what their response to them should be?Sure there are. Out of 11,905 bugs right now, there are 3775 reporters. That averages out to about 3 per reporter. Of those 3775 reporters, 2408 have reported only one bug. Assume that all of them got our mail (we actually operated on around 3700 bugs), and it take 10 minutes to act on. Therefore, for 2408 people, we've requested 10 minutes of their time, or 401 man-hours. For the remaining 1367 reporters, I've requested 683 man-hours. Are those the numbers you were looking for?
No, I wasn't asking about reporters - I mean all the people affected by the unfixed bugs in release versions. That includes the ones who don't know about bugzilla, the ones who have tried it and given up, as well as those you've managed to count.
The numbers pale in comparison to the other numbers that I've posted, and these numbers are quite wrong. The numbers that I've presented here are based on the fact that we've asked for action on every bug, whereas in actuality, we've asked for action on 31% of that. It also assumes 3 per reporter, EVEN AFTER we've subtracted 2408 reports since they were reported by folks who only reported one bug, again, a flawed assumption, but quite liberal.
If you are talking about rawhide, mapping bugs to reporters makes some sense since people running rawhide should realize they are testers and expect to report the bugs - and they shouldn't bother innocent bystanders. If you are talking about too many bugs to manage in released fedora versions, I think that points to a problem in the release process.

" This is a solid hostel and I would stay here again. They supplied everything you need -- sheets, blanket, pillow, towel, and locker. Pillow was really small though. Room only had two plugs.Everything that really needed to be clean was spotless: showers, beds, sinks. The walls in the shared areas were a bit dingy, but it didn't bother me. A note of caution for summer: like most buildings in Paris, this hostel is not air conditioned. Bring earplugs so you can open a window and still sleep. "- Anonymous

First of all, congratulations on an incredible plugin.
The one error I found (and maybe I'm just missing something in the settings), is that for some reason all the notifications send from your plugin come from "email@example.com" (mydomain = the domain the plugin is on) - as such none of the notifications are ever delivered to recipients because they are viewed as SPAM by most email providers.
This is strange, because most plugins simply use the email address that is set in the General Settings page in WordPress to send email.
Is there any reason why your plugin doesn't use the General Settings email and instead uses "firstname.lastname@example.com"? Is there a way to change this?

This hotel is easy to find. Close to a lot of restaurants and shopping.
We stayed in a double suite, room 412. This room has a full sized kitchen (no stove top or range). It has a breakfast bar area with barstools. It has 1 bathroom, a living room with a TV, pull out hideabed sofa, a chair and a desk. There is a separate bedroom with 2 beds and a dresser and another TV. Plenty of room for the family.
Nice closet space too.
Check in was easy and fast.
The room was spacious and mostly clean. The bottom of the couch cushion had a huge stain on it - yuk.
The bathroom was clean and spacious. Water pressure was fine.
The kitchen was a nice bonus. Just had a lot of cabinets, a microwave and a full size frig. There was a loose tile where the carpet met the tile. The carpet was frayed in that same area. If you stepped on it with your bare feet you would step on the carpet tack strip. Ouch.
We did not use the pool.
The breakfast was great. Plenty of food with 2 waffle irons. The lady working the breakfast room kept busy restocking supplies. She did not have time to wash off tables in between guest. She was very nice and quickly retrieved anything you needed.
Check out was simple and fast.
Overall, this hotel was just what we needed for our trip to Tampa and Busch Gardens. Nice, comfortable and clean.

I've been using Bulletproof and Duo Security simultaneously (along with Wordfence) for months.
However, recently I updated some plugins and now Bulletproof will not allow me to use Duo Security to log in. I log into WordPress, but on the second authentication step I am kicked out and told that my login credentials are invalid.
I've disabled numerous plugins and isolated Bulletproof as the culprit. With it deactivated, I can log in and use Duo SEcurity just fine.
Any suggestions? I really like BP.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop an innovative process for the fabrication of nanometer-scale alloy powders. The innovation will result from the combination of state-of-the-art composite wire manufacturing techniques with recently developed powder fabrication technology. The project will focus on the production of nanometer-scale Nb-Al (Niobium-Aluminum) powders for use in the fabrication of improved Nb3Al superconducting wire. A Nb-Al composite jelly-roll wire will be fabricated, this wire will be converted to nanometer-scale Nb-Al solid solution powder by an electro-explosion process, and this powder will be used to fabricate monofilament wire by a powder-in-tube process. Samples of the wire will be heat treated to form Nb3Al and the resulting superconducting properties will be measured. The commercial applications will be in magnets for high energy physics and fusion machines, high frequency NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) units, and, potentially, cryo-cooled MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) units. This process could be extended to the fabrication of nanometer-scale aluminide powders, these materials could be used as in the fabrication of structural parts for use in high temperature environments encountered in aerospace applications (e.g., turbines), and in the automotive industry (e.g., heat treatment furnaces). Nanometer-scale refractory alloy powders could be used to coat parts in the corrosive environments found in the chemical industry.

text: Well, we play the Raiders hours shortly counting down. Nervous as hell! Every 49er fan I see coming to my job, I tell them, "We need to win!" I don't care if 49ers go 1-15 by beating them, as long as we beat the Raiders. We should never get hyped about playing the Raiders because we will have to hear so many mouths from the Raiders and this year is a year we can't say ANYTHING if the Raiders defeats us. This team I hate to see or hear about. If the Raiders had to defeat the Cardinals for us to get in the playoffs, I wouldn't want it. Since Tuesday, I've dreamed about the 49ers blowing the Raiders out and woke up to an angry day. I can't stand the Raiders, nether should 49er fans. If anything, this is the last chance for Alex Smith to show what he can do after confronting Singletary the last game. Michael Crabtree complaining about Raiders not drafting him, well show us something on Sunday. Frank Gore, this is a big rivarly game and you've always ran all over the Raiders. Don't stop it on it. If we win against Raiders and loose badly to Broncos in London, f**k it, let's just go 1-15 and show everyone that the #1 was silencing the Raiders' fans.

I must be missing something really obvious! :-(
Thanks anyway.
Can you link to your pattern? or what's it's name and where did you get it?
It sounds like you should have been told to put stitches on a holder or leave them unworked on the needle. Do you still have live stitches? Unless you've already worked the other shoulder, and it doesn't look that way from your post, the stitches must be somewhere.
If you worked only partway across the row when you worked on these 16 sts, then you should have more of them on your needles or on a holder. The 'next 2' will be the 2 stitches right after you began to work on the first shoulder.
the pattern im using is paton book 3776 and its the classic v neck sweater.
This sounds like the front of the sweater was on 86sts. You've just finished working one shoulder and binding those sts off and now, you're putting the center 2sts on a holder for the V neck and working the rem sts (42) for the other shoulder. The next directions are for shaping the V neckline on this side. There are no stitches to pick up yet.
Im sooooooo confused, shaping the shoulders needs me to knit 42 stitches yet the neck band needs me to knit up 68 stitches, so surely these cant be the same thing? i already have the v shape created so i cant understand where it creates extra knitting for the shoulders surely your only left with the hole for the sleeves!
i am a very patient person however i feel this v neck really is getting the better of me!!!
any help much appreciated! i cant forward the pattern because the internet wont show it and i dont have a scanner i guess this is all down to copyright.
Can you post a picture of what you have? Close ups that show the part you're confused about would be good.
If you hold the front of the sweater up to yourself, do you have two complete, bound off shoulders with a deep V in between them? There should also be 2sts on a holder at the point of the V. If that's the case then you already have a finished sweater front and you can move on to the next section of the directions.
If that's not the case, then the directions sound like you should be shaping the second shoulder to match the one just bound off. I wonder what the directions were at the beginning of the neck shaping? Were you asked to knit about half the number of cast on sts and then turn and work back on those same sts? One edge was decreasing until you got to 16sts?
Yes, GG's right, a photo of what you have now would help.

As part of the Western Beltway Connector Study, Jefferson County called 111,069 randomly selected residents as the first step in a public outreach effort to gather input on the benefits of connecting this regional facility, to gauge support for the facility, to determine the best way to fund the facility, and to develop a plan for implementing the improvements. The calls were based geographically by Commission Districts.
Over the course of three nights (August 22, 26 and 27, 2013), 15,022 residents participated in the forums. In addition, 94 participants called the toll-free number, reflecting a fairly high awareness the forums were occurring. The average "hold" time for participants was 11.4 minutes; 769 participants stayed on for the full hour; total of 80 questions were answered live.
See our Board of County Commissioners' Telephone Town Hall page to listen to the audio recordings and the report from those meetings:
During those calls, four straw poll questions were asked and answered by participants using their telephone key pads. The responses were as follows:

text: Since I was a little girl, music has always been a passion of mine. I loved singing in church and couldn't wait for my choir classes to learn my alto parts for the many performances during my years in school. I started writing lyrics in high school to get that crush I had on some boy off my chest without actually telling him – the indirect way if you know what I mean. I didn't play guitar, piano... or anything at the time, so I just made up the melody in my head and I can remember singing it to my friends during gym class running laps. I continued pursuing ways to enhance my musical experience in college by offering mine and my sister Tiffany's talents singing the national anthem for many of the collegiate sporting events at Kent State University. We had done a little national anthem singing at some high school games so we took our skills to college. Becoming known as the national anthem twins around campus – it was a fun and very challenging experience (as that is a very difficult song to sing), but through the years singing around various professional and colligate sporting events around Cleveland and Northeast Ohio was great experience and a ton of fun. I decided to start learning the guitar to go along with they lyrics and melodies I had come up with. In my early 20s I was able to assist some musical friends singing on their CDs and getting some experience working in a studio and mess around with some friends in a couple garage bands – that literally didn't get out of the garage. Through all of these years of course continuing to sing at family and friends weddings and beating up my fingers learning to play an acoustic guitar. In 1999, I had been singing at a friends wedding when a guy named Chris Rembold asked me and my friend who got married to come check out a new project he was working on with some mutual buddies. Chris was the drummer in the band and thought that we could add some background vocals to their original music. That band's name was Otis & The Shoreway Saints. For the next 7 years I was a member of that very band. My education of music grew in leaps and bounds. I was able to utilize the basic skills I had learned as a song-writer, guitar player and performer and enhance them further with the help of these very talented musicians. Leaving the OSS project, the thought for me was what's next? Try to hack this out on my own. Take the original songs that Saints had helped me perform and write and keep stummin out my own tunes. These last couple years that's what I've been doing, trying to search for my niche. Over all of these years, I had been singing on commercials, doing open mic nights and songwriters in the rounds to name a few. After my time with the band was done, I had many music friends continue to push me and help me get to this point. Getting out there and singing on my own. Getting this album together has been a long time coming and I couldn't have done it without my great network of friends and the continuing support of my tremendous family – and of course a little faith that God had a plan somehow for me…here I am…sharing the pains and joys of my life to this point through my first solo album and the beginning of the PBR project with Greg Breedlove and Mark Roman. Now am living in St. Petersburg, FL working with a number of other artists and solo.

Released: Nov 01st, 2002
Running Time: 120
Director: Wesley B
Company: West Coast Productions
Cast: Lexington Steele, Vanessa (I), Mark Anthony (I), Mandingo, Angel Long, Luna (I), Chennin Blanc, Ashley (I), Justin Slayer, Jack Napier
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of the series won't be disappointed.
One giant cock is not enough for Chennin Blanc, who deftly handles both Lexington Steele and Mark Anthony in an impressive display of pussy and asshole stretching. The two heroes warm her up with alternating missionary and cowgirl shifts while she slurps down the other's schlong. Then they rattle off two merciless rounds of d.p. with Blanc who takes it like a pro before she gets splattered with cum.
The sexy Angel Long is equally game for big Jack Napier who tries her missionary first while she sticks her tongue out. But Long's best work comes while she holds on mightily for the anal doggie and spoon onslaught. A great moment comes when Mandingo briefly pulls out of Vanessa's box and she squirts all over the bed and his leg.

How a Single Spy Turned Pakistan Against the United States
More than two years later, the Raymond Davis episode has been largely forgotten in the United States. It was immediately overshadowed by the dramatic raid months later that killed Osama bin Laden — consigned to a footnote in the doleful narrative of America's relationship with Pakistan. But dozens of interviews conducted over several months, with government officials and intelligence officers in Pakistan and in the United States, tell a different story: that the real unraveling of the relationship was set off by the flurry of bullets Davis unleashed on the afternoon of Jan. 27, 2011, and exacerbated by a series of misguided decisions in the days and weeks that followed. In Pakistan, it is the Davis affair, more than the Bin Laden raid, that is still discussed in the country's crowded bazaars and corridors of power. - The Spy Who Lost Pakistan (SL NYTIMES Magazine)
The shooting was expert
"Davis didn't have time to ponder their motives. The intersection of Jail and Ferozepur roads was packed with cars, bicycles, rickshaws, and pedestrians; the motorcycle pulled around his car and stopped just ahead of it. Shamshad, on the back of the bike, turned. He raised his pistol. He cocked it." [Black Ops and Blood Money] (previously and previouslier)

South Africa's Zuma to Decide If Prosecutions Chief Retains Post
South African President Jacob Zuma will decide if National Prosecuting Authority head Mxolisi Nxasana should keep his post following media reports that he failed a security clearance, Justice Minister Michael Masutha said.
Nxasana stood trial for murder in 1985 and was acquitted on the grounds of self defense, the Star newspaper reported on May 30. Nxasana, who was asked by former Justice Minister Jeff Radebe to quit, also admitted to being detained for reckless driving and resisting arrest last year, the Johannesburg-based newspaper said. Nxasana has declined to comment.
"The decision has not yet been taken on the appropriate course of action" and Nxasana remains in his post for now, Masutha told reporters today in the capital, Pretoria. The fact that Zuma has been on sick leave "has not been helpful in expediting the matter."
Zuma, who appointed Nxasana as the national director of public prosecutions in October, was discharged from the hospital late yesterday, after undergoing a routine checkup for two days, according to the Presidency.

Is it possible to prevent users from running certain programs on their Linux computers? Is there a whitelist method? A blacklist?
The simple solution may be to simply remove execute permissions on system binaries. If you want to prevent users from compiling things or running things from directories they have write access you can create a separate partition and mount those file-systems with the noexec option.
man mount (noexec option)
I believe another way to accomplish this you would need to use something like AppArmor or SELinux.
The answer to this depends on if you want a blacklist or whitelist solution.
Whitelist is actually fairly easy. Use the same approach that Ubuntu and many other distros use. Create a group for a particular program or group of programs, set the group of the executable to that and then add users to that group if you want them to be able to access it. This is how access to sudo, printers and a whole host of other things are done on Ubuntu (and other distros).
Blacklist is actually harder but that's not such a bad thing imho. Blacklist I think is inherently less secure. In fact I can't really think of a way of doing it that doesn't treat is like a pseudo-whitelist ie everyone is a member of the relevant group and you just remove those you don't want.
Use groups and deny execute on the programs. Or are you looking for more than that?
You can probably hack something together with standard *nix permissions and groups.
However, if you need something more than that, you probably want to google POSIX ACLs. Most (all?) major Linux filesystems support them, and they give you a lot of additional control and granularity.
If you want to give people limited shell access, take a look at rbash. It offers various limitations to the user. Also take a look at PAM's limits.conf (/etc/securit/limits.conf on Ubuntu). The third option is creating a jail/chroot environment for your users where you decide exactly what binaries and libraries they have access to.
Others have also pointed out using permissions, noexec and ACL to achieve this. Really depends on your needs, what solution is the best.
Probably not. It depends on what "certain programs" means. If a user has an interactive shell that is useful, they can install almost any software they want. But if you don't want them to be able to run a particular copy of software you have already installed, ordinary file permissions will work just fine. For example, create a group "xmmsblacklist", chmod 705 /usr/bin/xmms, chgrp xmmsblacklist /usr/bin/xmms, and add the users to that group.

Storrs - UConn waited until almost the end of the Selection Sunday show to learn its NCAA tournament fate.
That was nothing compared to the painful wait the men's basketball program endured to return to postseason after being ineligible to compete last season.
"We were getting tight," junior Ryan Boatright said. "We were like, 'what's going on?' We had done enough during the year to make the tournament so we really weren't worried about not getting picked. � We're glad to be in the tournament."
UConn (26-8) received the seventh seed in the East Region, facing No. 10 Saint Joseph's University (24-9), the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament champion, on Thursday at 6:55 p.m. at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y.
It is the program's third NCAA appearance in the last four years and 31st overall.
"I was getting a little worried," coach Kevin Ollie said with a smile. "Two years ago we were the first one picked. We had to wait a little longer this time but it was great just to see your name back up there and knowing what these kids went through last year.
"� It's going to be an exciting time for these guys. I just can't wait to step out on the court on Thursday and take care of this precious gift that we've got. Hopefully they understand that."
UConn has an NCAA history in Buffalo, beating Vermont and DePaul on the way to winning the 2004 NCAA title. It will be the first game against St. Joe's since 1989.
Ollie has set the bar high for the Huskies, making the ultimate goal winning a national championship. He feels good about the way they're playing coming off an AAC tournament run that ended with a loss to Louisville in the championship game on Saturday in Memphis.
If UConn beats St. Joe's, it plays No. 2 Villanova, an old Big East foe, or No. 15 Milwaukee on Saturday. Virginia, the Atlantic Coast Conference champion, earned the top seed in the East. Madison Square Garden in New York is the site of the regional semifinals and finals.
"I want us to get back up on the top," Ollie said. "For us to get back up on the top, we've got to win games of this magnitude. This is the start of the journey. We planted seeds last year and hopefully the seeds have grown.
"We have enough talent to win. I truly believe that."
Given what they went through last season, the Huskies should be hungry and highly-motivated to make a deep run.
It was too hard for them to even watch Selection Sunday last year knowing their school would not be called. They worked hard to return to postseason play.
"It just means so much because it was really disappointing for us not to play in the tournament last year," said senior Niels Giffey, one of three Huskies who played on the 2011 national championship team. "We just want to take the opportunity now. It was taken away from us last year for reasons that you can't influence as a player.
"We want to make the best out of it. The seniors are really excited to go back to the tournament."
The Huskies had no complaints about their seeding position as an at-large bid despite being projected as a five seed by several college basketball experts.
The AAC received little respect from the tournament selection committee, earning just four bids and leaving SMU out. And Louisville, the tournament tournament champion, received only a four seed as an automatic qualifier.
"I don't know what their criteria is," Ollie said. "It's always a little different every year. But I feel bad for (SMU coach) Larry Brown not making the tournament. � Louisville, a four seed, that team beat us three times, I think they're one of the best teams in the country.
"But seeding doesn't matter. It's about what you do on the floor. Hopefully we can go to Buffalo and prove ourselves and hopefully get that first game and then worry about the second one. We're playing an old Big East foe if we can get past St. Joe's."
St. Joseph's is making its first NCAA appearance since 2008, earning an automatic bid by beating Virginia Commonwealth 65-61 in Sunday's Atlantic 10 tournament final.

Fallout: NV has been good to me. With only a handful of freezes while playing for 5+ hours at a time I have no complaints. I feel that my Fallout: GOTY edition froze up on me more. I'm willing to take the awesome with the bad. Besides, the rush of blood to the head after sitting sedentary for so long feels great, only to sit back down for more Fallout action.
Yesterday I had myself in quite a pickle. I was in need of breaking the alliance between the Great Khans and Caesar's Legion, but in order to do so I had to go into the belly of the beast and retrieve the slavery ledger in order to convince Revis of the Khans before I could convince Papa Khan to sever ties. My quandry? I had already collected the brain of Caesar's head dog in order to restore Rex back to optimal performing standards. Needless to say, I am Persona Non Grata on Legion turf. After many failed attempts with Boone and Ed-E at shooting my way through and time away from the game to think, it dawned on me that there is this great invention called a Stealth Boy (which I don't use often for fear of what it'll do to my character down the road). So I grabbed Lily in order to make the Stealth Boy last longer and crept my way through Caesar's lair, retrieved the ledger and got out of there.
Only after going back to Red Rock Canyon to successfully turn the Khans against the Legion, did I realize that I don't have much more to do in this game (or so I think). So after delaying making any major decisions regarding the main story line, I marched back into the Legion's Fort, collected the Platinum Chip from Caesar, whacked Benny and am now ready to finish this beast... right after I accomplish a few more objectives and reach Level 30 (currently 27). On second thought, maybe I should go back to side missions.
In other news, I have fallen in love with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. At first I had written the game off due to not fully understanding the magic system (i.e. that Light Magic restores your health meter). I have no idea how this crucial part of the tutorial escaped me, but it did. I was battling spiders, lycanthropes, and trolls with little to no health, continuing ad nauseum until I had basically had a perfect run through one planned fight sequence only to take on the next sequence with slightly less health, always in search of the green health bird bath's glow. Now that I understand it, I'm obsessed with getting to the end, and then playing through it again in order to collect everything I had missed due to not having the proper gear the first time through. While it does play alot like God of War (which isn't a bad thing), I like how they've broken the gameplay into chapters. Not only because it gives you another cut scene, but also because it gives you a more definite purpose as to why you're going from A to B. I'm still in Chapter 5, I think, so I have quite a ways to go, but already I feel like Gabriel has become infinitely more awesome than when I first began.

ATLANTA -- Top-seeded North Carolina didn't need a lot of flash Friday. The Tar Heels were smart, patient and precise as they routed Maryland inside Philips Arena.
For the better part of the first half -- and parts of the second -- Maryland showed that it would be more than just a bump in UNC's road to a national No. 1 seed, but UNC showed its muscle late in the first and carried it over into the second half, going on a 12-0 run to put the game out of reach. Maryland stuck around, but the Heels stayed consistent and didn't allow the Terps to get within six points in the second half.
There was a scary moment for the Heels early in the first half when John Henson landed awkwardly on his left wrist after a hard foul by Maryland's Ashton Pankey. Henson went to the locker room about a minute later before returning with his wrist taped with about 11 minutes remaining. He played about 40 seconds before being taken out after wincing when he caught a pass.
Tests on his wrist at halftime were negative. There was no word on his injury, but he didn't return Friday.
Turning point: North Carolina's 12-0 run stretching from the first half into the second definitely helped the Heels, but Maryland's poor shooting kept the Terps from making any sort of meaningful run. Maryland shot 30.8 percent in the first half and made just one field goal in the last 10 minutes of the half. Maryland also had a span of nearly 15 minutes, beginning in the first half, when it missed 14-of-15 shots, including 10 in a row.
Key player: Before the game, UNC forward Tyler Zeller was honored with ACC's Skip Prosser Award as the conference's top scholar-athlete in men's basketball, but it was teammate Harrison Barnes who might have been the Heels' most important player Friday. He scored 15, grabbed seven rebounds, had three steals and added a block. He also didn't turn the ball over.
Key stat: North Carolina's offensive game rarely hit any sort of dry spell, as five players scored in double digits, accounting for 71 of UNC's 85 points.
Miscellaneous: UNC sophomore point guard Kendall Marshall delivered his fifth assist less than five minutes in, giving him the ACC single-season assist record. He finished the game with 12 and has 311 for the season. ... UNC has now won eight straight. ... Maryland is 3-13 all-time against UNC in the ACC tournament, having lost nine straight. ... Despite the lopsided loss, Maryland guard Terrell Stoglin had a game-high 30 points, after putting up 25 against Wake Forest on Thursday. ... UNC is now 46-13 as the tournament's top seed.
What's next: UNC will continue its road to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament by taking on the winner of the Virginia-NC State game. The Tar Heels swept both teams during the regular season, combining to outscore both teams by 52 points. For Maryland, the Terps will miss the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season. Coach Mark Turgeon ends his first season in Maryland with a 17-15 record.

What chmod do I need to run on my files to finish the install?
I'm using Dreamweaver by the way.
you need to chmod the weblogs-changes-cache file to 777, otherwise you don't need to chmod anything.
unless ofcourse u plan to edit the templates and css files later from the backend! :)
...in which case you have to chmod the files you want to edit later using the template editor interface to 766!
-thanks Sushubh.
I plan to do a lot of customization. I was running B2 Evolution before and was pretty confortable with editing the templates and CSS.
I need to know how to chmod files in Dreamweaver and what files to chmod.
The weblogs-changes-cache file is only used if you choose to show when pages that you link to are updated...doesn't have anything to do with you posting, accessing admin, or the like. If you can't do this right now, it doesn't make any difference at all.
You chmod in ur ftp client and not in dreamweaver.
and if you using dreamweaver to upload, well there must be some option... i suggest you use an independent ftp client.
oh boy, IE sure sucks when it comes to WP forum... :O)
Hi can the forum admin please edit my post to remove smarcus information. I tried to edit but it gave me action not allowed??
Thank you
By the way marcus
You have to use 1and1 hostname in order to access mysql database.
Localhost is only if the database is running localy on the same computer your server is which is not the case with 1and1.
Do to their security policy they are hosting mysql databases on seperate address which is perfora yourdatabasenumber.perfora.net
so for example db45.perfora.net
dgoran, I've got the database information entered correctly. I'm not sure what the problem is...
error 403: Forbidden!
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.
Have you contacted 1and1 to check that the script is allowed on their server?
No, I haven't yet.
1and1.com has no problems with wordpress, or any associated scripts. I have quite a few blogs up there.
smarces, start afresh if you will, and just go through the steps again, taking care of the database stuff in wp-config properly.
Okay, honestlty I'm just taking advantage of their free 3 year hosting plan. I will begin to pay for hosting and a domain in a few months.
Will 1and1 help me to completely wipe my database and any files I have uploaded?
smarcus, you have ssh access and ftp access to your 1and1.com account. There is also a bunch of good tutorials that they provide to install new stuff, like phpMyAdmin, and such.
If you need help in installing WordPress on your 1and1.com server, I can help you out. Email me at mail at carthik dot net, and I will set it up for you, according to your needs, if that's what you want. Once its up and running you can see how it is and understand better.
I am kind of busy right now, but I can find time tomorrow.
I am 1and1.com, also, and am having a terrible time installing WP. I am getting the following error:s
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /homepages/20/d95403816/htdocs/wp-config.php on line 2
Parse error: parse error in /homepages/20/xxxxxx/htdocs/wp-config.php on line 2
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/20/xxxxxx/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php on line 47
From what I have read on these fora, the Warning and Parse error are not big deals, but I don't know what to do about the Fatal error. I used cut and paste to put the info in the wp-config.php file that I got directly from the MySQL database on the website. I have even tried various combos of the info to no avail. This is very frustrating.
Where did the \ come from, in line 2 ?
remove that, and check for basic errors, like formatting, extra characters etc in wp-config.php
There seems to be something wrong with my server. I can't seem to upload files via FTP.
i was a 1and1 customer and i ended up dumping their services for poor performance. i would suggest finding a better host with better support.
smarcus, please email me at mail @ carthik dot net and I'll see you through this :)
1and1.com is not the greatest, but it suits my purposes fine.
This is an old thread, but I wanted to address something.
I too am using 1and1, and I have dug up some information that may helpful for other users.
The 1and1 database is behind a firewall and is only accessible from your server. While I am not sure if there is some way to hack and access it from an account on the same server, that possibility seems unlikely. So, don't be too worried about your dbase info being posted.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

I am building my own PC, and I am interested in getting Windows 7 (64 bit) with a student discount. On the Microsoft site, it is labeled as an upgrade; does that mean I can't just purchase it and install on my brand new PC? And if I do download it on my current computer running Vista (but NOT install it on my current PC), could I use a flash drive or hard drive to install on my new PC?
I have looked around on the Web and here on SU and have some different answers, but I want to be sure before purchasing. Thanks!

CCC Certification for Product Safety & EMC Required for China Market Entry
by admin on Aug.21, 2013, under China, EMC, Product Safety
China is fast becoming the largest consumer market in the world, and for many products, China Compulsory Certification (CCC) is necessary for manufacturers to tap this market.
Certification Bodies
There are three main certification bodies (CBs) for electronic equipment:
- China Quality Certification Center (CQC) – issues all electronic equipment CCC certificates
- China Information Security Certification Center (ISCCC) – issues ITE CCC certificates
- China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) – issues A/V CCC certificates
An application is submitted to one of the certification bodies mentioned above. Once the application is accepted, the manufacturer has samples tested at an accredited lab in China. When the product passes, the test report is issued by the test lab and reviewed by the certification body. If the CB is satisfied with the test report and the manufacturer passes an initial factory inspection, the report will be approved and the CCC certificate will be released.
The CCC certificate is generally valid for five years and requires follow-up inspections that verify quality control and product consistency.
CCC certification is to Chinese national standards called Guobiao or GB standards. Usually the GB standard is harmonized to an IEC standard. For example for ITE, GB4943 is harmonized to IEC60950 for product safety; GB17625 (updated to GB17625.1-2012 on July 1, 2013) is harmonized to IEC61000-3-2 and GB9254 is harmonized to IEC/CISPR 22 for electromagnetic compatibility. There are some minor national deviations like ratings, altitude or tropical zone requirements. (Read more about recent changes to GB8898 Audio, Video and Similar Electronic Apparatus – Safety Requirements and GB4943.1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment.)
Generally, if you can pass the IEC standard, you should be OK to pass the CCC test. Manufacturers can save time and reduce cost by transferring a CB report to a CCC report.
MET Labs has experience helping manufacturers obtain CCC certification. MET's China operations are based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. Contact MET China or MET U.S. for more information about CCC certification.
China CCC Product Safety Compliance for A/V & IT Equipment is Changing
by admin on Jul.02, 2012, under China, Product Safety
Audio/video equipment and information technology equipment intended for sale in China must meet new China Compulsory Certification (CCC) product safety requirements starting in November and December, respectively.
In February, the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA) Technical Committee for High Tech Industry finalized the certificate update instructions for both GB8898 (Audio, Video and Similar Electronic Apparatus – Safety Requirements) and GB4943 (Safety of Information Technology Equipment). The updated standards are GB8898-2011 and GB4943.1-2011. The official change announcement was made April 10.
GB8898-2011 for A/V Equipment
After November 1, 2012, the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) will only accept A/V equipment applications for the CCC Mark to the new GB8898-2011 standard. From November 1, 2012 onwards, non-compliant products will not be permitted to be imported into or sold in the China market.
For A/V products marketed under existing certificates, manufacturers are required to update their certificates according to the new standard by November 1, 2013, with an additional grace period extending to February 1, 2014. All suspended certificates will be withdrawn by the CQC after February 1, 2014.
GB4943.1-2011 for IT Equipment
After December 1, 2012, the CQC will only accept IT equipment applications for the CCC Mark to the new GB4943.1-2011 standard. From December 1, 2012 onwards, non-compliant products will not be permitted to be imported into or sold in the China market.
For IT products marketed under existing certificates, manufacturers are required to update their certificates according to the new standard by December 1, 2013, with an additional grace period extending to March 1, 2014. All suspended certificates will be withdrawn by the CQC after March 1, 2014.
For more information about these changes, contact MET China.

TIA Outlines Testing & Certification Barriers in China, Mexico & Brazil
by admin on Oct.14, 2010, under Telecom
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) recently wrote a letter to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to comment on the 2011 National Trade Estimate (NTE) on Foreign Trade Barriers report. The letter focused mostly on testing and certification barriers in three countries: China, Mexico, and Brazil. Following are highlights of the letter.
The product testing and certification process in China is significantly more burdensome than in other markets, according to TIA. Under China's Network Access License (NAL), there are unnecessary testing requirements. TIA recommends eliminating the NAL requirement, or reducing the number of tests required by the NAL. Particularly, eliminate mandatory testing for specific enhancement functions such as WAPI, and eliminate functionality testing.
Also, TIA says that China's certification requirements for telecommunications equipment conflicts with its WTO obligation to limit imported products to no more than one conformity assessment scheme and requiring the same mark for all products (Article 13.4(a)). China has three different licensing regimes:
- Radio Type Approval (RTA)
- Network Access License (NAL)
- China Compulsory Certification (CCC)
It can cost $35,000 to test for all three licenses.
For EMC testing, China has opted out of the IECEE Conformity Body (CB) scheme for report acceptance, so that this testing must be done in-country.
China's policy of requiring a factory inspection before issuance of the CCC certificate has meant long delays for some U.S. manufacturers.
Regarding standards, TIA believes that China should accept all globally-relevant standards that are developed in accordance with the TBT Code of Good Practice, not just those developed in international forums like the ISO, IEC, and ITU.
Mexico is working on a conformity assessment procedure for telecommunications products where testing would be mandatory and performed only by recognized labs. According to TIA, this reinforces the need for Mexico to recognize U.S. and Canadian accreditation and certification bodies to avoid duplicate testing. TIA urges Mexico to implement Chapter 9 of its NAFTA obligation to recognize conformity assessment bodies in the United States and Canada.
TIA is concerned that Brazilian regulator Anatel is not accepting test data generated outside of Brazil, except in rare cases. This requirement that testing be done in-country adds to certification time and increases costs. TIA recommends that the United States and Brazil negotiate a Mutual Recognition Agreement under the CITEL framework.

There can be no question that Brazil is the home of beach soccer. In the eyes of its people, the game is more a way of life than a sport and is as much a facet of the national culture as carnivals and samba. It is perhaps for that reason that the Auriverde have been such a dominant force in the sport since its beginnings, winning nine of the ten world championships held before FIFA took over the organisation of the competition.
It was entirely logical then that Rio's world-famous Copacabana beach should be selected as the venue for the first ever FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2005. What no one could possibly have predicted, however, was that Portugal would knock the flamboyant hosts out in the semi-finals, leaving Brazil to claim a hugely deflating third place.
The Seleção made up for that disappointment in style the following year, storming to victory at the tournament's second staging. And just months away from the 2007 edition, to be hosted on home sand yet again, Brazil are red-hot favourites to retain the crown they won in such thrilling fashion last November.
With the core of the team that has served them so well in recent years still intact, the Brazilians have just landed the Mini World Cup for the tenth time, taking their winning streak to an incredible 51 games in the process. The last time they failed to win was that semi-final defeat on penalties to the Portuguese, with their last reverse in normal time coming in a 4-0 loss to Uruguay in Peru way back in February 2005.
The coach
The honour of becoming the first man to coach Brazil to glory at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup fell to Alexandre Soares. Born in Rio de Janeiro on 11 May 1966, Soares was a leading futsal player, turning out for Fluminense and AABB (RJ) before heading to Spain, where he played for eight years.
He took his first steps in beach soccer as assistant coach with the Carioca state team in 2002, taking over the running of the side in 2003. He joined the national coaching set-up the same year, succeeding Jorge Ferreira Alves as caretaker coach in the wake of the 2005 disaster. After guiding the Auriverde to success at the Mini World Cup last August he was confirmed in the post, immediately repaying his employers' faith by steering Brazil to their first world title and maintaining very high standards ever since.
Star player
Perhaps the brightest of the Brazilian constellation of beach soccer stars is striker Benjamin Pereira da Silva, better known as Benjamin. Despite a somewhat slender frame, his range of tricks and nose for goal make him a lethal proposition for any defence. The current team's top scorer with over 200 goals, he lies second behind Nenem in the all-time goalscoring charts and is poised to overtake the Brazilian legend some time soon.
That said, there is more to Brazil than their goal machine. Now into his forties, the veteran Junior Negao remains a cornerstone of the defence along with the equally capable Buru, and up front the 27-year-old Bruno has fulfilled his rich promise.
* Brazil were crowned champions at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Rio de Janeiro 2006.
* In 2005 Brazil took third place on the podium in the inaugural FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, also held in Rio.
What they said ...
"All the results we are putting together are important but we are just working towards our main objective of retaining the world title. We can't afford to slip up in front of our fans. We hope to do them proud and celebrate again in November." (Alexandre Soares, Brazil coach).

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionCabrera (1957) described its distribution as the south of the state of Pará, possibly entering contiguous parts of the state of Mato Grosso. Ávila-Pires (1986) was more exact, indicating that it occurs south from the Rio Irirí (C. a. argentata occurring to the north—confirmed by Martins et al. 1988), at least as far south as the southern (left) margin of the Rio Peixoto de Azevedo, an eastern tributary of the Rio Teles Pires. Martins et al. (1988) recorded it on the left bank of the Rio Irirí, south from its mouth. The southern limits would evidently not be beyond the headwaters and upper Rio Paraguai, approximately 14º30'S, where M. melanurus has been registered for a number of localities (Hershkovitz 1977; Vivo 1985). Ávila-Pires (1986; see also Pimenta and Sillva Jr. 2005) suggested that the Rio Teles Pires marks the western limit of its range. Martins et al. (1988) indicated that C. emiliae is limited to the west (left) bank of the lower Rio Irirí, with an undescribed C. argentata subspecies occurring between the Rios Irirí and Xingú. These authors also reported their belief that no marmoset occurs east of the Rio Xingú above the mouth of the Rio Irirí. The distribution of C. emiliae has been confused somewhat by its alignment with a similar, if slightly darker, form in the state of Rondônia by Vivo (1985), referred to here as Mico cf. emiliae (also discussed in the text on M. melanurus).
