Unix Interactive Tools
Unix Interactive Tools enables users to view and handle their file-system with ease. The software package itself is made up of three main components: a file browser, process viewer/killer, and a Hex/ASCII viewer. With these tools, new system administrators can complete the necessary duties of overseeing their new kingdom more quickly and efficiently.
The file system browser is made up of two side-by-side panels. Each displays the current working directory of the user who initiated the UIT session. Inside the panels, along with the directory listing, is info about the files themselves (permissions, size, etc). The windows can be easily navigated using the cursor keys and the page-up and page-down keys. These keys move a highlighted bar which shows the current file/directory selected. The ENTER key is used as well, to move in/out of the highlighted directories. Lastly, the file browser contains a shell-like command line, for typing in normal shell commands, and also has a status bar which contains optional "hot-keys". These keys contain such commands as move, copy, and mkdir.
The UIT package also includes a process viewer/killer. Like the file browser, this process utility can be navigated by the user via the cursor keys. Similar to the file browser, the viewer has a status line with certain hot-keys that can be used. The process viewer/killer lists all the current processes the user is running, or if you are running UIT as root, it shows all the processes that are running. Other things listed are the PID (Process ID) number and the TTY (terminal used by the process). The viewer's ability to examine/manipulate a process quickly and efficiently serves a functional purpose in the lives of new (and experienced) system administrators. This tool wouldn't be used for a "quick glance" of the processes running, such that ps -aux would provide. It is more of a detailed outlook at the processes.
The last component of the UIT package is a Hex/ASCII file viewer. It can be used to view and edit executables or data files. This is a great tool for those who have done assembly in DOS, for they can recognize the structure that the Hex/ASCII viewer resembles.
I highly recommend the UIT package for new administrators because of its usefulness in providing a global view of any particular filesystem. This package enables users to maintain their system efficiently, without having to worry about which shell command to use, how to pipe to an output file, etc. It's all in there, and the UIT package makes it simple. I don't recommend using the UIT package without first learning some of the basic Unix commands, though, because there are times when you may want to use that nifty shell command line that comes in the file browser!
Unix Interactive Tools was written by Tudor Hulubei and Andrei Pitis. The current version for UIT is 4.3a. The complete source to the UIT package can be found at ulise.cs.pub.ro, in the /pub/public/linux/uit directory. Check it out, and tell me what you think!

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Buick brand has been gaining momentum in recent years with popular entries like the Enclave and the LaCrosse. As the premium marque continues to fill out its lineup with compact entries like the Encore and the Verano, there's some evidence the brand may get it's coveted "Riviera" nameplate back, according to GM Inside News, a General Motors' enthusiast web forum.
From the 1963-99 model years, the Riviera was a halo coupe car for Buick. Trademarking the Riviera name doesn't necessarily mean GM plans on making a production vehicle or even a concept vehicle for that matter. However, there are some indications that it wants to further expand the Buick lineup — especially to capitalize on growing sales in China, where Buick is one of the largest brands.
Two years ago, Buick told us it was considering adding a coupe, convertible and wagon to its lineup.
If those models are still in the cards, it's possible that the coupe/convertible could get the Riviera nod, but we'll just have to wait and see.

A bit of a waste of good goat cheese. Way too much vinegar in the sauce. I would cut the vinegar in half and add more to taste as you go along.
Grilled Steak with Beets & Radicchio
From EatingWell: June/July 2006, EatingWell Serves Two
Peppery radicchio mellows a bit on the grill and is offset wonderfully by the sweet beets and earthy goat cheese dressing. Rib-eye or filet mignon would also be a delicious choice in this recipe.

hehehe, the story makes me happy, and all bubbly inside
| Nom de Plume chapter 1 . 8/13/2014
Not that good.. please. It was plenty good and more.
It's interesting to see how you, or rather the Peter Pan world, associate love with adulthood. Children can feel love too but more on the platonic side is what I'm guessing you were getting at? I guess growing up is not so bad after all (in some ways) just as staying "young" has its ups&downs.
The way you used the device of story-telling to represent their relationship and as a "third person" was a marvelous idea and you executed it perfectly. What really got me were Peter Pan's actions during the emotional confrontation - the fidgeting and uncomfortable silence - all of that would be very like him if he were to ever be placed in that sort of setting.

Oh, dear - if you felt that it wasn't good I don't know what to tell you! LOL It was awesome! Really fresh and original - I just love when they end up together and I really liked how you portrayed Wendy.
| sunny-umbrella chapter 1 . 1/26/2013
Awww! That's so cute
| Mademoiselle Anime Amour chapter 1 . 5/18/2011
Not that good? I think not! I found this to be a cute little story, and I liked how you portrayed Wendy's conflicting emotions. Like how she knew she had to grow up but she didn't really want to. And how she doubted that Peter loved her simply because he was too childish. Emotion-wise, this story was spot-on, not to mention with the characterizations, too. Most of all, it was a really awesome story.
| ohscrewthename chapter 1 . 3/20/2011
Absolutely gorgeous. Those were the first two words to pop into my mind. Only, of course, after I thought the words, "This story in itself was a fairytale." In reality, it is. I love how Wendy's thoughts are displayed throughout the story so clearly, as well as poetically. You kept the characters with their original personalities, only slightly matured with age. You described things as simple as snowflakes with such pure, breath-taking poetry that I almost couldn't think or breathe straight upon reading certain lines. I am truly impressed. This really is SUCH a gorgeous story...like a continuation of the movie that was never put into film.
| plzkthx101 chapter 1 . 7/2/2010
I thought it was very good. You've really captured the warmth of Wendy - her tenderness towards Michael, her feelings of inevitability and pressure. These are all things that can be very cliche if written poorly. You didn't overstate these feelings but rather built your Wendy around them. Solid writing, very touching!
| Cla.V chapter 1 . 6/30/2010
"It's rather, er, long"? Honey, I want MORE of this!
This retelling of Peter Pan is fantastic. No kidding - I'm in love with it :)
| Ame Mika'zuki chapter 1 . 6/9/2010
This is gorgeous! I really, really like how you wrote it, and how you inserted everything from the original story, and so convincingly, in the AU... I LOVE how Peter and Wendy's relationship developed, and how Wendy was "the first to grow up", which reflected that Neverland aspect of the fairytale... XDD so awesome. also, LOVE how it was a happy ending~! X3 /romantic
| donewiththis2000 chapter 1 . 4/23/2010
Aww, what a cute story! Definetely a fav! (And sorry if it's spelled wrong:) My native language isn't english, so..)
| shai-duck chapter 1 . 4/21/2010
I love how it's similar to the movie and yet, at the same time, not.
It's also very easy to relate to, allowing the reader to step into the shoes of the growing Wendy and how it must have felt to let go of her inner child during early London.
Very well-written. You don't find many fics like this anymore :)

Trying to figure out why comments are not SAVING or showing.
I am using the Twenty Ten theme.
The comment box shows and allows user to enter in comments and submit.
Everything looks like it goes fine, EXCEPT the comments are not saved and thus also not shown.
Things do work as expected if user is logged in.
Some details:
- In Settings -> Discussion , NONE of the boxes are checked (i.e. requiring users to be logged in, email & name required, etc.)
- In the page Edit and Quickedit sections both have the box for "Allow comments" checked.
- There are only 3 widgets installed: Akismet, Flash Gallery, WordPress Importer.

Feb 28 (Reuters) - Revenue from soccer television broadcasting rights in Latin America's leading leagues increased a massive 56 percent in 2012, surpassing the billion dollar mark, a specialist report said.
The report by Dataxis said TV rights for first division matches in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru brought in $1.07 billion in a region traditionally not noted as being especially lucrative on the sports business front.
The rights to the Brazilian championship, played from May to December and known as the Brasileirao (Big Brazilian), were worth $610 million in 2012, nearly 57 percent of the total, Dataxis said in a statement.
Four countries, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico, were responsible for more than 90 percent of the 2012 figure, Buenos Aires-based Dataxis senior analyst Juan Pablo Conti told Reuters.
Conti, author of the 40-page report called "Soccer broadcast rights and sports TV channels in Latin America 2013", hinted at greater increases in the future, especially in Mexico.
"Mexico is a particular case because Televisa and TV Azteca share the whole TV market between them so the prices are not so high. But it's going to change," he said.
Conti said that "according to our estimates, the Argentine government paid about 915 million pesos ($212.5 million) during 2012 for the rights to broadcast the first and second division tournaments" on the state-run Futbol Para Todos (Football For All) programme. "This figure doesn't include production costs," he added.
He said there was an increase of more than 11 percent in match broadcasting revenue in Chile from 2011 to 2012.
Conti, quoted in the Dataxis statement, said: "Different local federations and professional football associations are currently experimenting with different business models to commercialise broadcast rights in Latin America.
"However, regardless of the approach they have been adopting, they have all been increasingly successful in making their margins grow."
Dataxis says on its website (www.ditaxis.com<http://www.ditaxis.com >) the report also found there are 116 TV channels dedicated exclusively to showing sports programmes in the seven major regional markets including Venezuela, where baseball rather than football is the biggest sport.
It adds that high definition (HD) sports channels are gaining increasing space. In 2012, Mexico was the leader with 12 HD sports channels, followed by Colombia with eight and Chile seven. (Reporting by Rex Gowar in London, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Slim Odds for Inventors
More Companies Solicit Ideas Online; Success Eludes Most
Stu Berger has created more than 50 consumer products from inventors' ideas—including some of his own—in hopes of turning them into commercial hits.
He expects his first big break later this month when one of those products, a posture-correcting pillow called the Side Sleeper Pro, goes on sale at some Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. stores as well as the retailer's website. "I thought this day would never come," says Mr. Berger, owner of Integrated Merchandise Group International Ltd., a sole proprietorship in Mamaroneck, N.Y.
The path to prosperity can be long and arduous for inventors. Even if they manage to secure a patent, which can take years, they usually need to find a business willing to manufacture, package and market the item.
In an effort to better connect with inventors, some large manufacturers including Clorox Co. CLX 0.18 % , Kraft Foods Inc., , General Mills Inc., GIS 0.77 % Staples Inc., SPLS 0.65 % Procter & Gamble Co. PG 0.92 % and GlaxoSmithKline PLC, have launched websites in recent years for soliciting product ideas. Some of the sites occasionally feature specific requests from the companies' research-and-development teams.
Before they launched, "inventors would typically have to find someone to pitch their idea to and it would maybe make it to someone else and then someone else," says Greg Piche, who works in Clorox's innovation group. "It wasn't a very streamlined process."
Clorox in May also launched a two-month campaign to solicit proposals for new antibacterial cleaning products; the yet-to-be-determined winner will receive a $2,500 advance and other compensation based on sales.
Similarly, General Electric Co. GE -0.35 % and several venture-capital partners in July solicited proposals for a next-generation power grid. GE says the program—the first of its kind for the company—attracted nearly 3,000 submissions. Five winners will each receive $100,000 to develop their ideas, though there's no guarantee GE will invest further in the products.
Even if an inventor's idea gets noticed, the odds of reaping big bucks are slim. Companies typically offer compensation in the form of royalty fees, small percentages of wholesale earnings. Some companies also provide one-time upfront payments, depending on the stage of development an invention is at, what type it is and whether it has legal protection.
Competition is fierce. AllStar Products Group LLC, a private Hawthorne, N.Y., company perhaps best known for its marketing of the sleeved-blanket Snuggie, receives more than 10,000 submissions a year from inventors, says Scott Boilen, founder and chief executive. The company enters into licensing deals for between 75 and 100 inventions a year, with Mr. Berger's Side Sleeper Pro being a recent example, he says.
Once a deal is signed, AllStar usually promotes the invention through infomercials and then attempts to sell the most popular items to Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens and other retailers.
AllStar promises to pay royalty fees ranging from 1% to 4% of wholesale earnings for inventions it helps land on store shelves. Some deals include upfront payments of $5,000 to $50,000, with higher earnings going to inventors of patented goods, Mr. Boilen says. Top-selling items can result in "millions of dollars over the lifetime of a product," he adds.
Bill Felknor, an inventor in Knoxville, Tenn., signed a licensing deal with AllStar in 2007 for Topsy Turvy, a device for growing tomatoes, cucumbers and other vine crops upside-down. Since then, he says more than 11 million units have been sold.
Mr. Felknor, who has invented nine other products, says Topsy Turvy has generated him the most income by far (he declined to provide specifics). Still, being an inventor "is a difficult way to make your living," he says.
Danco Inc., a maker of bath and kitchen products in Irving, Texas, says it receives more than 200 product-idea submissions a year from inventors; just 10 to 15 of those ideas make it into retail stores, says Michael C. Miller, director of product partnerships. "To put something on a shelf, another product would have to come off," he says.
Some businesses specialize in helping inventors identify companies to pitch, enter submissions and negotiate contracts. InventHelp of Pittsburgh charges inventors between $200 and $15,000, depending on the number of services an inventor selects.
InventHelp strikes about 50 licensing deals a year on behalf of inventors; in general, large companies offer the biggest payouts, says Robert Susa, president. Deals include royalty payments averaging between 2% and 5% of wholesale earnings, plus sometimes initial payments of $10,000 or more, he says.
"You got to sell a whole lot of units to make a significant amount of money," says Mr. Susa. "You don't want to quit your day job."

Made these as finger food for a group I host each month & served them with the suggested Greek yogurt, as a very nice change from my usual sour cream ~ THESE FRITTERS WERE A BIG HIT & I'll definitely make them again! When recipes call for mint I usually omit it, but didn't this time & am so glad since it added a nice dimension to the flavor! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
Made these to go with our dinner tonight and they were quite tasty, though I think I needed to add more onion and salt - they didn't have quite enough "umph" for my tastes, though DH loved them just the way I made them, as written. Served them with sour cream, will make them again and serve with Greek yogurt (thought I had some tonight, but did not). Thanks bluemoondownunder. Made for PRMR, Dec 2008.

Parkinsonism is a frequent neurological syndrome in adulthood but is very rare in childhood. Early forms of Parkinsonism have many distinctive features as compared to Parkinsonism in adults. In fact, rather than Parkinsonism, the general concept "hypokinetic-rigid syndrome" (HRS) is more accurate in children. In general, the terms "dystonia-parkinsonism", "parkinsonism-plus", or "parkinsonism-like" are preferred to designate these forms of paediatric HRS. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) constitute an important group amongst the genetic causes of Parkinsonism at any age. The main IEM causing Parkinsonism are metal-storage diseases, neurotransmitter defects, lysosomal storage disorders and energy metabolism defects. IEM should not be neglected as many of them represent treatable causes of Parkinsonism. Here we review IEMs causing this neurological syndrome and propose diagnostic approaches depending on the age of onset and the associated clinical and neuroimaging features.

The Real World of Video/Broadcast Program Transmission
The transmission path of a broadcast signal is long and tenuous. On its way to the home TV screen it is subjected to a variety of amplification, noise reduction, modulation, demodulation, and digitizing processes. Many of the links are not under the direct control of the broadcaster. These and other factors, plus the real time constraints of broadcasting, generate an atmosphere which is conducive to faults and errors. The nature of the stereo audio signal is such that transmission defects are not easily quantified under operating conditions. Constant vigilance throughout the transmission chain is required if the promise of stereo sound is to be validated.:

Filed under: Eating disorders
An eating disorder can impact your performance, both physically and mentally. But you can take steps to overcome it.
Eating disorders are serious conditions involving a person's attitudes and behaviors toward food, weight, and body image. People with eating disorders eat extremely small or excessive amounts of food and usually feel embarrassment, disgust, and depression.
Eating disorders can be triggered by a number of causes, including genetic, biologic, behavioral, emotional, psychological, and social factors. Service members must meet certain physical requirements and often set even higher expectations for themselves. Pressure to be at an ideal weight or have the best physique can contribute to an eating disorder.
Even the most resilient service members are not immune to these triggers, and female service members are affected more than males. In addition, the number of diagnosed eating disorders in the military seems to be increasing, and many military members with eating disorders may go undiagnosed.
Not getting enough food or not eating healthy, consistent amounts of food means that your body is not being optimally fueled. And even worse, eating disorders can take a serious toll on your physical and emotional health, and your relationships.
The key to overcoming an eating disorder is seeking help as soon as you can and putting in the time. (It doesn't go away overnight.) Research shows that psychotherapy is often the most successful approach, but treatment is complex and draws on expertise from other fields such as nutrition and medicine.
For more information on eating disorders and links to other helpful resources, visit Military OneSource and HPRC's Eating disorders: Know the symptoms and risks.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a challenge, especially when trying to juggle the demands of active-duty service, deployments, family, and life in general. Knowing that the next weigh-in is looming can be stressful and can sometimes lead to eating behaviors that spin out of control to become a life-threatening eating disorder. But even if you don't have a classic eating disorder, you might have what is called "disordered eating."
"Disordered eating" refers to eating foods or having eating patterns that can lead to serious nutritional consequences such as deficiencies in key nutrients and electrolytes. It can compromise a person's strength and/or stamina and lead to more frequent illness or injury. This could happen to a Warfighter, spouse, child, or other family member.
Examples of disordered eating include emotional eating, binge eating, night eating, highly restrictive dietary patterns, and avoiding foods considered "bad." Some individuals use over-the counter products such as weight-loss supplements or laxatives; others participate in excessive exercise as a means to control weight. What starts out as a way to lose a few pounds or tone up could become a serious problem.
If you're wondering if you practice disordered eating, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you eat in secret?
- Are you terrified of gaining weight?
- Are you always counting calories/carbs/fat grams or some other component of food?
- Do you think your identity and self-worth depend upon your weight and body shape?
- Do you exercise a lot (maybe too much) to maintain your weight or appearance?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might have disordered eating. It's important to get help before your problem becomes more serious than you can handle. Nutritional and emotional counseling from professionals—registered dietitians, counselors, and therapists—can help. Support from friends and family is important too. See the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for more information on disordered eating.
Different people react differently to stress, especially when it comes to food, and depending on the cause, intensity, and duration of stress. Whereas some people lose their appetite and skip meals in response to stress, others either overeat or eat unhealthy foods. Under stress, people tend to choose snack-type foods that are high in fat and sugar instead of meal-type foods such as meats, fruits, and vegetables.
Stress isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it's essential to survival and part of being a Warfighter. The key is learning how to manage your stress. December is the Military Health System's Stress Management Month, which is especially appropriate for most of us during the holiday season. Here are some tips to help you reduce your stress and the likelihood of overeating:
- Engage in physical activity most days of the week, and try stress-relieving exercises such as yoga and meditation. Or find other hobbies that you enjoy and that help you feel relaxed.
- If you're finding it difficult to stop reaching for the kitchen cupboard or refrigerator, make sure you stock your shelves with healthy snacks such as fresh fruit, cut-up veggie sticks, and air-popped popcorn (without the butter).
- Try to keep a food diary to understand the connection between your mood and your food. Keep track of what you eat, when you eat, and your emotions at the times you want to eat.
Learning how to manage your stress can be beneficial in more ways than one. For more information on stress and your health, read the National Institute of Mental Health's factsheet on adult stress and HPRC's resources for stress management.

Cost of Iraq.
House and Senate negotiators have neared a compromise to finally pass the supplemental spending bill, which will provide more than $70 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan. "After the talks broke early yesterday morning, lawmakers came back to prepare a new fiscal 2007 Pentagon budget that includes another $50 billion in emergency funding, largely for Iraq operations. The cumulative U.S. investment in Iraq is now approaching $370 billion; more striking is the rapid escalation in the pace of monthly expenditures."

TCU brings a top 10 scoring offense to San Diego to go against the nascent Air Raid being pieced together in Ruston by points-first partisans Sonny Dykes and Tony Franklin. The Horned Frogs are averaging more than 40 points a game, and the Bulldogs, who famously kept pace with Houston in a September game, wrapped up their season with a 44-0 blanking of New Mexico State. In the purple corner: Andy Dalton replacement part-turned-reliable passing threat Casey Pachall, flanked by a pair of top 100 returners in Ed Wesley and Waymon James. And in red and blue: Quarterback Colby Cameron, himself a successful replacement part for early starter Nick Isham, all-conference receiver Quinton Patton and a top 50 runner in Tennessee transplant Lennon Creer. [UPDATE: Creer has been ruled academically ineligible for the bowl game and will not travel with the team to San Diego.]Keep an eye on: Coach Dykes, for one, who's rumored to be in the mix for the now-vacant Houston gig. On the field, don't sleep on the remote special-teams battle between Ray Guy Award-winning LaTech punter Ryan Allen and TCU's Wesley, as well as the post-kickoff antics of TCU defensive back Greg McCoy, shiniest cog of the nation's top-ranked return game. And note carefully the continuity of the Frogs' production on offense, with the recent unfortunate departure of offensive coordinator Justin Fuente for an equally unfortunate head-coaching opportunity in Memphis.Did you know: Horned Frog lore holds that "When angered or frightened, horned frogs can squirt a fine, four-foot stream of blood from their eyes," but TCU's actual plush Horned Frog mascot has never been caught in the act.ANDERSON: Brush up on your Poinsettia Bowl factsFinal analysis: While LaTech has to be extremely pleased to be in this situation, and deservedly so, TCU is mad. Mad, and wielding an array of attractive options on offense and a defense of a caliber the Bulldogs haven't faced since their Week 1 loss to the Golden Eagles. A shootout loss to Baylor and an overtime faceplant against SMU cost TCU a run at a BCS bowl, by a combined margin of nine points; in a year where both Boise State and Houston fell out of TCU's way late, a seven-game win streak to close out the season and a conference title weren't enough to vault the Frogs to an at-large bid, thanks to the vagaries of the BCS system. There's always a danger they could come out flat, but the likelier danger is that they throw and run until Pachall's arm and both of Wesley's and James' legs fall off. If you prick Gary Patterson, does he not squirt blood from his eyes? The pick: TCU 41, Louisiana Tech 28. More Campus Union

Egypt's next president is likely to be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or a Mubarak-era figure. Either way, U.S. ties are likely to cool, says CFR's Steven A. Cook.
Egyptians' first free presidential election is a test of the power of Islamist parties, and the new president will shape the country's future by helping craft a new constitution as well as a new relationship with parliament and the military, says CFR's Isobel Coleman.
Even before Egyptians cast ballots for a new president this week, they will have engineered a surprising shift in power that reflects impressive strides, writes CFR's Steven Cook.
