McNEESE STATE (4-8, 0-0 SOUTHLAND) AT TEXAS A&M - CORPUS CHRISTI (1-12, 0-1)
Saturday, Jan. 7 • 7 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS/VIDEO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team will look to get back in the win column on Saturday, Jan. 7, when it takes on McNeese State at the American Bank Center at 7 p.m. The Islanders have dropped 10 in a row since an overtime win over Utah State on Nov. 22, including a 74-58 defeat against Lamar in the Southland Conference opener between the two teams.
A&M - Corpus Christi got a career-high 13 points from Johnathan Jordan and 15 from Chris Hawkins-Mast against the Cardinals, but Southland Player of the Year candidate Mike James went off for a season-high 31 to lead Lamar to the win.
The Islanders will have to deal with another of the conference's most talented players with Patrick Richard coming to town with the Cowboys. Richard is second in the league with 16.3 points per game after being a First Team All-Southland selection a year ago. The Cowboys sit at 4-8 overall and are playing in their first league game on Saturday. McNeese has dropped six of its last seven heading into the matchup with the Islanders.
• Myron Dempsey has averaged 11.5 points and 9.3 boards over the last four games and has led the team in rebounding in six straight games.
• Johnathan Jordan scored a career-high 13 points, including seven free throws, against Lamar. He is second in the conference with 3.8 assists per game and is third on the Islanders in rebounds.
• Terence Jones snapped a string of 17 straight missed three-pointers when he buried his last attempt against Lamar. He had hit 16 of his last 25 before that.
• Nate Maxey set a new Islanders freshman record with his 23rd blocked shot of the season last game. He sits third in the Southland.
• The Islanders went 19-for-40 from inside the arc against Lamar and are 2-for-19 over the last two games from beyond it.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast played a career-high 37 minutes against Lamar on Wednesday and went 5-for-11 from the field.
Lamar's Mike James scored a season-high 31 points, and the Southland-leading Cardinals (10-5, 1-0 SLC) used hot outside shooting to knock off the Islanders 74-58 on Wednesday night at the American Bank Center. Chris Hawkins-Mast led the way for the Islanders (1-12, 0-1) with 15 points in the loss.
Johnathan Jordan finished in double figures with a career-high 13, adding three assists, four rebounds and two steals for the home squad. Nate Maxey had eight points and added three blocks, giving him 23 for the season, a new freshman record among Islanders. Myron Dempsey came up one point short of a double-double with nine points and 10 boards.
James went 12-for-16 from the field and added three steals, and the Cardinals finished the game hitting eight of their last 10 shots from distance. The Islanders won the battle of the boards, 39-35, in the contest.
McNeese State has fallen in six of its last seven games, the lone victory an 86-45 win over Bacone College on Dec. 10. Most recently, the Cowboys fell to Southern Miss, 65-56 at McNeese's Burton Coliseum on New Year's Eve. On the road, the team has gone 1-7 with a win over Sacramento State.
MSU has been led by Southland Player of the Year candidate Patrick Richard, who has averaged 16.3 points per game, the second-highest pace in the conference. Jeremie Mitchell has also averaged in double figures with 11.6 points and has shot 39.2 percent from the outside. The Cowboys are shooting 28.6 percent from three.
The Islanders have split the series with the Cowboys since Texas A&M - Corpus Christi restarted its athletics program in 1998. The Islanders have won both meetings at home, a 74-62 win on Jan. 6, 2007, and a 49-46 victory on Feb. 21, 2009.
The Islanders also knocked off the Cowboys en route to the 2007 Southland title, but have dropped all three contests in Lake Charles, including a 72-49 defeat to open conference play last season. The Cowboys have won the last two matchups between the two teams.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has historically been very strong playing its home games at the American Bank Center. Entering their seventh season in the facility, the Islanders have a 66-30 record playing at the ABC, including four seasons with at least nine wins there.
The Islanders have lost nine of the last 11 games downtown heading into tonight's affair, but the program posted one of its most momentous victories in the facility earlier this season. The Islanders' win over Utah State was the first of the Willis Wilson era and gave the Islanders a win over the Aggies, who went 30-4 in 2010-11.
Junior college transfer Myron Dempsey has been strong both on the offensive end and on the glass this year. Against Utah State, he delivered his finest performance, tallying a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds in leading the Islanders to the upset victory.
The long, athletic rebounder is currently second in the Southland Conference with his 7.9 rebounds per game after averaging 9.3 per game over his last four outings, three of which have seen him hit double digits. Forty-eight of his 103 boards have come in the offensive end, a league-best 3.7 per contest.
He has also heated up from the field as of late, posting 11.5 points every time out in the most recent quartet of contests. He has gone 20-for-34 (.588) from the field in the last four after going 8-for-36 (.222) over the previous five.
But looking closer at the stats, it is amazing to see just how Dempsey has collected his points this year. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native has scored a total of 117 points. Of those, 98 have come from in the paint, including 49 of his 51 field goals. The junior also has a team-leading 40 second-chance points on the year.
He played last season at Redlands Community College, where he was the team's leading rebounder and led the squad to a 19-2 record down the stretch.
The Islanders point guard may be one of the smallest players in the Southland Conference, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in athletic ability. Houston native Johnathan Jordan stands just 5-foot-10, but his extreme athleticism and basketball IQ are the aspects of his makeup that are far more important to the Islanders.
He has been impressive leading the Islanders offense with his 49 assists and is second in the conference with 3.8 per game. He is also fourth in the league, averaing 1.4 steals every contest. His last time out, he had a career-high 13 points, including seven from the free-throw line.
He has enjoyed his trips to his hometown. In the Houston game, he filled the stat sheet, scoring eight points and leading the team with seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. At Rice, he had seven points, four rebounds, four steals and three assists.
Jordan, who has a 46-inch running vertical, won the Islanders slam-dunk contest in the preseason with a stellar two-handed jam.

MENLO PARK -- Facebook's stock could face more turbulence Wednesday as former employees and early investors become eligible to sell as many as 800 million shares that have been kept off the market since the social network's initial public offering in May.
That's the biggest block of Facebook stock to be freed from so-called lockup restrictions since the IPO -- and it will nearly double the number of Facebook shares available on the market.
While there's no telling how many shares might be sold immediately, analysts have warned that an influx of shares could cause the price to fall further than it did when smaller lockups expired in recent months.
After plunging to less than half its initial offering price of $38 over the summer, Facebook's stock showed some improvement last month when the company reported early growth in its new mobile advertising business. But the share price fell again in recent days, as investors braced for Wednesday's lockup expiration.
Facebook shares ended Tuesday at $19.86, down more than 1 percent for the day.
Most of the shares that become eligible for sale Wednesday are held by early investors and insiders, including employees who have since left the company. While their names aren't public, Facebook's biggest stockholder isn't on the list: CEO Mark Zuckerberg owns stock and options amounting to 500 million shares. He sold about 30 million shares in the IPO but has since announced that he won't sell any more stock before September 2013.
Other top executives have sold shares recently: Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg cashed in about $11 million worth this month, after an earlier lockup expired. She's still holding about 19 million shares, worth more than $377 million at Tuesday's closing price.
Like many companies, Facebook set restrictions that required early employees and investors to hold their shares for a period of time so they wouldn't flood the market immediately after the IPO. But some critics, including Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter, have argued the company should have imposed the lockups for a longer period.
All told, the lockup that expires Wednesday would allow the sale of up to 804 million shares. That's nearly twice the 421 million shares sold in the initial offering.
Earlier lockups expired in August and October, raising the total number of shares available on the market to 921 million before Wednesday.
With that number set to nearly double, some analysts predicted the stock would take a beating Wednesday. But others said it may be a short-term impact.
"In our view, the stock has seen its lows" and should be able to withstand the lifting of the lockup, analysts at Wells Fargo said in a recent report.
The pending lockup expirations are "a near-term concern," added Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia in a research note, but he said the issue is widely known and may not have a lasting effect.

In the early stages of the disease, most cases of open-angle glaucoma present no noticeable signs or symptoms. Vision stays normal and there is no pain. But, even without symptoms, irreversible damage can be happening to your optic nerve. If glaucoma remains untreated for a long period of time, you may begin to notice some symptoms. Some cases of closed-angle glaucoma, especially during an acute attack, are associated with symptoms, which are discussed below.
The main symptom of glaucoma is loss of peripheral vision. This means that you can see things clearly in front of you, but objects to the side and out of the corner of your eye may be missed. As the disease progresses, it may seem as though you are looking through a tunnel. Over time, the remaining forward vision may decrease and the field of vision narrow until blindness results.

They're the behind-the-scenes employees whose work is taken for granted, but whose performance can make or break opening day records. Without them, the ski industry would exist in a very different way.
The snowmakers of Summit County's ski areas shape the slopes and create the snow to make skiing and riding enjoyable for recreators. The times they frequent the mountains makes them largely unseen by those who use the mountains.
"This is an unglamorous, dirty, hard job and I have a ton of respect and passion for it," said Frank Worsham, snowmaking operations controller at Keystone Resort. "In a way, we are the snow gods."
Worsham's passion for snowmaking is mirrored by nearly all of the crew members of local snowmaking teams, those who can't brave the elements don't last long. Most snow makers describe themselves as extreme-minded individuals.
"We're a really rough and tumble crew," said Joshua Morrison, lead snowmaker at Keystone. "We're all pretty extreme people that take pride in what we do. We embrace the harsh elements and the danger of our job because we are the ones that bring all of the fun to Summit County. So many people depend on us and don't even realize we exist."
Providing trails for members of the public to enjoy is what several snowmakers say they enjoy the most. At the same time, the pressure to create quality terrain can be intimidating for rookie snowmakers who find it challenging to overcome the steep learning curve.
"The first couple of months you are very upset at yourself the whole time," said Michael Ostrout, snowmaker for Copper Mountain. "Through time and experience you learn how to slow it down and work more efficiently - it definitely takes time in the machine to feel comfortable. It's not easy - you're trying to provide something for the public, so there's a lot of pressure."
Since the learning curve is so steep, ski areas struggle with retention. A returning snowmaker is considered very valuable.
"This is a 90-day job for first-year snowmakers, and they are the best they can be on the last day of work," Worsham said. "A second-year snowmaker is extremely valuable, but they can't always stick around and find work in the county after their time at Keystone. It can be very hard for them to figure out employment after the season."
Finding work after the snowmaking season is one of the challenges these unsung heroes of the mountain face. Worsham estimates that more than 50 percent of first-year snowmakers can't find work and have to either go home or spend the rest of the year unemployed.
"No ski area does enough for these guys and they have the most important job, in my opinion, on the whole mountain," Worsham said. "If it weren't for snowmaking and the guys that are unseen that go out there in the middle of the night during extreme weather and temperatures, there would be no ski industry, no recreation and all of the other jobs on the mountain would not be supported."
Snowmakers like Morrison, though, have enrolled in a program offered by Keystone that provides work to snowmakers after the season, which ends for most at the end of January.
"I'll continue to work here after snowmaking season doing general maintenance around the mountain," Morrison said.
Worsham too, though he considers himself an exception to most, transfers to the ski patrol department after snowmaking season.
"After snow making season I start working for the ski patrol, and then in the summer there are special snowmaking projects and maintenance that I get involved in. For me it's a year-round job with the exception of a six week break," he said.
Worsham spends his shift in the control room, where he communicates with his snowmaking crew out on the slopes, monitoring the humidity, temperature, quality of snow and snowguns. The job, he says, is never black and white; everyday is different with its own set of problems.
"We have this motto: Adapt, improvise and overcome challenges," Worsham said. "We all need to communicate or everything falls apart."
It's all business while the crew works, but underlying the quick conversations over the walkie-talkies is a bond that binds them all.
"I'm one of them," Worsham said. "I ski, raft, go to concerts with these guys and they are all my friends and I value them very much."
Their camaraderie is rooted in the difficulty of the job.
"Snowmaking is like nothing else in this world," Worsham said. "There are a lot of responsibilities out there, working in the elements, in the dark - the last thing we ever want is one of our guys getting hurt out there. These guys are all my friends so we never leave here without a plan. Every day is different and we really have to look at what's going on."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Oct. 22, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- We're about two weeks from Election Day and a decision that has folks fired up on the Georgia charter school amendment. On Monday night, the Columbia County School System is holding an informational meeting about their stance on the amendment.
In 2008, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled local boards of education have exclusive authority of public education in Georgia. This amendment would change that. Really, it all comes down to how you view your child's education.
It's a polarizing issue: Should the state have the power to approve and regulate public charter schools?
"Under this amendment it would take the control completely out of the hands of the local authorities. This is nothing more than another segregation of education," said Columbia County Schools Superintendent Charles Nagle.
"This is an appeals process for an application that may have merit," argued former Augusta Mayor Bob Young, a board member for the Georgia Charter Education Foundation. "Even when this amendment passes, local school districts will still have the option of creating charter schools."
They're both passionate arguments in the name of education.
"We're in favor of additional choice for families when it comes to educating their children," Young said.
"This is all about education to me, this is very personal to me because it has a lot to do with the education of children," Nagle said.
And Monday, the Columbia County School System is holding an informational meeting for the PTO and community.
"We will try to present the facts as what it would mean for Columbia County and what it would mean for Georgia," Nagle said.
"It's one-sided information. I would call it a propaganda session tonight, it's not an informational meeting, it's propaganda coming from the local school district," Young said.
Two sides, that aren't going down without a fight.
"Do we put our faith in legislators and people who should be looking out for the best interest for all children rather than the elite few? I take issue with Bob Young or anybody else that feels that way," Nagle said.
"The people who are against this are happy with the status quo and I'm sorry that they feel that way and it's sad that they like the status quo," Young said.
"I'm not debating Bob Young. Bob Young has his opinion just as well. How long has Bob Young been in education?" Nagle asked.
We're not ignoring one of the biggest points of contention here ... money. Young calls the money issue a smoke screen, that the school districts will not lose any money, only students.
He says the charter schools will be funded by the education department budget. Nagle calls that frightening, since districts around the state continue to see budget cuts and furlough days, arguing public schools need to be funded first.

WALNUT CREEK -- St. Paul's Episcopal Church's Trinity Center is serving up more than Christmas dinner for the poor and homeless in the Walnut Creek area on Dec. 20.
"Our goal includes building a sense of belonging; a sense of connection to others," Rev. Sylvia Vasquez said.
Those ties link donors, volunteers, other churches, Girl Scouts, Rotary Clubs and nonprofit groups such as Adopt-A-Family Bikes and Creek Kids Care, a nonprofit youth community service organization, to the people they serve.
"People who come to the Trinity Center say, 'It is a place where someone knows my name. I am not invisible here,' " volunteer Donna Colombo explains.
The people who come to St. Paul's Dec. 20 to celebrate Christmas -- between 50 and 70 guests are expected -- are in for some happy surprises.
"We get a wish list of practical and impractical items," said Laura Halpin, president and co-founder of Creek Kids Care.
"There are 53 homeless people who participated this year," Halpin remarked. "It is educational for the children. It humanizes (the homeless) when we see what they want.
"Kids can see the impact of their service," she added. "Over the years (since 2004), we have come to know the homeless and they know the Creek Kids. Some of our high-school-age volunteers started in the third grade."
Clothes, sleeping bags, tents and tarps are always welcome, but sometimes the homeless might wish for a gift card for gasoline or the movies. "A theater is a warm place to stay for a few hours," according to Halpin.
The gift of a bicycle can become transportation to a job interview for a homeless person or a way to reach the Trinity Center. Tania Hanson-DeYoung organizes an annual drive to collect and refurbish bikes for those in need through the Adopt-A-Family Bikes program, developed at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church.
"When I delivered one bike, a man gave me a hug and said, 'Thank you. Now I don't have to be on my feet all the time.'," Hanson-DeYoung said. "Just think of it. He was on his feet all the time."
Christmas Meal
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 20, starts at 1 p.m.
WHERE: Parish Hall, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1924 Trinity Ave., Walnut Creek
All are welcome

Directed by Backstage Theatre Artistic Director Christopher Willard (The Syringa Tree), "The Year of Magical Thinking" is based on Didion's best-selling memoir of the same name, a searing account of her journey through grief.
In "The Year of Magical Thinking," Didion captures the compassion, humor and bewilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable. It is Didion's attempt to make sense of the "weeks and then moths that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ... about marriage and children and memory ... about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself." Told with raw candor, this meditation on grief - "a place none of us know until we reach it" - is also a celebration of family, filled with a luminous belief in the power of the human spirit to endure and overcome heartbreak.
This is Figel's first appearance with the Backstage Theatre, and she is thrilled to be part of this extraordinary journey. Figel has appeared in many theaters in Denver and has received awards for her work in "Three Tall Women" (Best Actress), "A Lie of the Mind" (Best Supporting Actress) and "Collected Stories" (Best Actress) to name a few.
"The Year of Magical Thinking" will run for eight performances until April 13. All performances are at the Breckenridge Theatre, located at 121 S. Ridge St. in Breckenridge. Tickets are $22 for adults and $17 for youth 18 and younger. This performance is presented without intermission and contains mature subject matter. Tickets are available online at backstagetheatre.org, by calling 970.453.0199 or by visiting the box office one hour before showtime. There will be talkbacks offered at many of the performances. Consult the website for details.

VAIL, Colorado - The leader of a Las Vegas private school will be Vail Mountain School's new head of school.
Michael Imperi comes to Vail Mountain School from the Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain in Las Vegas, where he has served as head of school since 2007. Imperi will follow Peter Abuisi, who announced his retirement after serving Vail Mountain School as head of school for 35 years.
Imperi will take over July 1 after a nationwide search.
Imperi said Vail Mountain School will be a great fit.
"I love the fact that upper, lower and middle school classrooms are placed next to each other to encourage cross-age interaction," Imperi said. "The accessibility of the head of school's office at the center of the building is terrific."
An open-door policy is something Imperi has had for years, he said.
"I keep a jar of candy in my office and any student may come in at any time, tell me a joke, and choose a piece of candy as a reward," Imperi said. "One day, a kindergarten student named Chris visited during a meeting where we were discussing some difficult issues."
Chris' joke broke the tension and helped them reach a resolution.
"The children provide grounding for me and I place a high value on being present in their lives either as a teacher or in informal situations like carpool and lunch," Imperi said.
Imperi will be Vail Mountain School's sixth leader. The school held its first classes in October, 1962 for resort employees' children.
Imperi brings nearly three decades of classroom and leadership experience, including 16 years teaching history, Asian religions and culture, and psychology at the Singapore American School. Following his work in Asia, he spent eight years at the Alexander Dawson School in Boulder. From 2003-2007, he served as the principal of the Dawson Middle School.
He has coordinated student expeditions on five continents and spearheaded fundraising efforts for a medical clinic in India, a school in Nepal, an orphanage in Indonesia, and schools in East Africa. In addition, Imperi has summited Mount Kilimanjaro twice, and guided student and adult expeditions in Bhutan, Nepal, Ladakh, Irian Jaya, India, and Myanmar.
"The leader of a school has a lot in common with the performers we see in Las Vegas who balance multiple spinning plates at once " Imperi said. "It requires you keep each individual element in motion, while at the same time keeping the whole process in balance."

Hi, I know it has been discussed and PS3 media server should stream apple lossless in CD quality, but I can still hear slightly differences. The apple lossless streaming is less smooth, less dynamic and more electronic than CD. Its not very obvious but noticeable on my Onkyo SR806 and KEF speakers, and bad enough for me to go back to CD.
I do not understand why this happen, but maybe there are still loss in the re-sampling/re-encoding process, or the PS3 simply handle streaming and CD differently.
Please share your opinions.

SANTA CLARA -- About the only people that understand the life of a kicker in the NFL are other kickers. So, naturally, 49ers kicker Phil Dawson reached out to a sympathetic ear while seeking advice for kicking in Charlotte.
"I called their kicker, Graham Gano," Dawson said of the Carolina Panthers kicker. "Just to get a few ideas. To his credit, he didn't give me a lot of information. So, the gamesmanship has begun."
Dawson is in his 15th NFL season. However, he played only two games against the Panthers on the road — one regular-season game, one exhibition game.
"It's been awhile," Dawson said.
Hence, the phone call to Gano. Despite Dawson's bold attempt to uncover some tips about footing, turf conditions, wind patterns, whatever, he's still got plenty of work to do.
"He pretty much said, 'See you Sunday,' " Dawson said of his brief conversation with Gano. "So, I'll have to do the homework myself."
Dawson converted all three of his field-goal attempts in a 23-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers in an NFC Playoffs wild-card game last Sunday. That came in brutal conditions.
Dawson said he's looking forward to kicking in more favorable conditions Sunday — the forecast calls for 57 degrees, with no chance of rain and slight wind.
"Well, it's a lot different than last week, that's for sure," Dawson said. "Every day has its challenges, so I'll get out there early Sunday and see what's going on for that given game day and come up with a plan."
Part of that plan involves calling other kickers. You can bet Dawson will make more calls between now and Sunday's game, perhaps to long-time Panthers kicker John Kasay, among others.
"I try to get as much information as possible," Dawson said. "I don't have an opponent across the line of scrimmage. The conditions of the day are my opponent. So, anything I can do to study and prepare, I'll take advantage of that."

First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:

Nice command to create a list, you can create too with for command, but this is so faster.
Joker wants an email if the Brand X server is down. Set a cron job for every 5 mins with this line and he gets an email when/if a ping takes longer than 3 seconds.
Calculates the size on disk for each package installed on the filesystem (or removed but not purged). This is missing the

which would put the biggest packges on top. That was purposely left out as the command is slightly on the slow side
Also you may need to run this as root as some files can only be checked by du if you can read them ;)

You can display, save and restore the value of $IFS using conventional Bash commands, but these functions, which you can add to your ~/.bashrc file make it really easy.
To display $IFS use the function ifs shown above. In the sample output, you can see that it displays the characters and their hexadecimal equivalent.
This function saves it in a variable called $saveIFS:
sifs () { saveIFS=$IFS; }
Use this function to restore it
rifs () { IFS=$saveIFS; }
Add this line in your ~/.bashrc file to save a readonly copy of $IFS:
declare -r roIFS=$IFS
Use this function to restore that one to $IFS
rrifs () { IFS=$roIFS; }
Makes use of $RANDOM environment variable.
Using the standard numeric comparison but suppressing the STDERR output acts as the simplest way to check a value is numeric. See sample output for some examples.
Lists crontab for all users on system that have crontabs.
Very useful for interactive scripts where you would like to return the terminal contents to its original state before the script was run. This would be similar to how vi exits and returns you to your original terminal screen.
Save and clear the terminal contents with:
tput smcup
Execute some commands, then restore the saved terminal contents with:
tput rmcup
This is how I list the crontab for all the users on a given system that actually have a crontab.
You could wrap it with a function block and place it in your .profile or .bashrc for quick access.
There's prolly a simpler way to do this. Discuss.
usage: sitepass MaStErPaSsWoRd example.com
description: An admittedly excessive amount of hashing, but this will give you a pretty secure password, It also eliminates repeated characters and deletes itself from your command history.
tr '!-~' 'P-~!-O' # this bit is rot47, kinda like rot13 but more nerdy
rev # this avoids the first few bytes of gzip payload, and the magic bytes.
Changing newline to spaces using just echo
Creates a consistent datapumpt export on an Oracle database with the current sequence number, while the system is running and changes happens on the database.
Mostly for Norwegians, but easily adoptable to others. Very handy if you are brainstorming for a new domainname.
Will only display the available ones..
You can usually do this better with dig, but if you dont have dig, or the TLD only have an online service to check with, this will be usefull..
this is helpful because dmesg is where i/o errors, etc are logged to... you will also be able to see when the system reboots or someone attaches a thumb drive, etc.
don't forget to set yourself up in /etc/aliases to get roots email.
A little bash daemon
Convert string to array using echo and sed =)
Simple function to permanently add an alias to your profile.
Tested on bash and Ksh, bash version above.
Here is the ksh version: PERMA () { print "$@" >> ~/.profile; }
Sample usage:
PERMA alias la='ls -a'
I like the fact the Patola's version uses only ones and zeros, but I also like the sparse output of the other versions. This one combines both of those features and eliminates some unnecessary cruft.
You can vary the sparseness by changing "$(($RANDOM % 5))" to another number. The number in this term "$(($RANDOM % 4))" controls how frequently the numbers are output bold.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:44 PM GMT on June 03, 2013
The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1, and we already have a threat to discuss. A trough of low pressure has developed over the Western Caribbean, Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and Southeast Gulf of Mexico, and is dumping heavy rains over the area. Hurricane Barbara, which died on Thursday as it attempted to cross Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec into the southernmost Gulf of Mexico, has contributed moisture to this disturbance, which has been designated 91L by NHC. Satellite loops show a large area of heavy thunderstorms with poor organization, and there is no evidence of an organized surface circulation trying to form. Wind shear is a high 30 knots, and is forecast to remain high, 20 - 30 knots, over the next five days, so any development should be slow to occur. NHC is giving the disturbance a 20% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone by Wednesday. The Hurricane Hunters are on call to fly into 91L on Tuesday afternoon, if necessary. Regardless of whether or not 91L develops into a tropical depression, heavy rains will be the storm's main threat. Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Western Cuba, and South Florida can expect 5 - 8" of rain from the disturbance over the next four days. Heavy rains from 91L may spread up the U.S. East Cost late this week. The computer models predict that 91L should stay large and poorly organized, and if it does develop, it will be difficult for it to get any stronger than a 45 mph tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico.

TAHOE, Calif. - It is said that once a year the dead reunite with the living ...
As we approach the time of year where the veil between life and death seems to be lifted by the spirit of Halloween, it is most appropriate to recognize the ancient tradition still honored and celebrated by many people around the world, particularly throughout Latin America. The Day of the Dead honors the beloved departed. Graves and altars are prepared and decorated with ofrendas, or offerings, such as candles, flowers, incense, special breads, trinkets, and treats loved by those no longer with us. Families gather and visit neighborhood friends to share stories all the while believing their beloved roam joyfully among them.
In honor of this magnificent homage to life and death, the North Tahoe Family Resource Center will host a Day of the Dead Party at Hacienda del Lago, 760 North Lake Blvd. in Tahoe City's Boatworks Mall on Friday, Nov. 2, 7 p.m.-2 a.m. Live music from Dysfunction Junction and DJN8tron will fill the air with sound, Day of the Dead art will fill the space with beauty, and local artisans will share their crafts with all. A live painting session by local artist Michael Heltebrake will inspire our own creative spirit as we decorate traditional sugar skulls and get our faces painted if desired.
Prizes for Best Makeup and Costume will be awarded along with killer raffle prizes from Hyatt Regency Stillwater Spa, Squaw Valley, Tahoe Dave's, A Day in Your Life Photography, and more.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and include a raffle ticket. They are available at New Moon in Truckee and Tahoe City, Tahoe Dave's in Tahoe City, Brockway Cafe and As You Wish in Kings Beach. All proceeds benefit the North Tahoe Family Resource Center.

In Their Own Words – Redemption
It was the day before Thanksgiving and our daughter's elementary school was having a Turkey Trot, where the kids run a mile while chasing an older student dressed up in a turkey costume. Of course, I was there to cheer on our first grader, Joan, who has autism, as she did her best to keep up with the other children. As all of the students started crossing the finish line, I noticed Joan had barely made it through half of the course and was visibly upset. Her teacher went running out on the course to hold Joan's hand and ran the rest of the course with her, but it didn't do much good. She kept calling herself a failure because she lost. My heart was breaking as I remembered the sinking feeling I had as a child when I wasn't as good of a runner as everyone else. In tears, she went back to her classroom to finish the school day.
After school, she was still upset when she came home and just wanted to hang out with her daddy. Then the phone rang. On the other end of the line, a lady asked to speak to the parents of Joan (having the majority of our calls begin like this, I was sure it was related to services or appointments of some sort). I explained I was her mother and asked what I could help her with. She told us she was calling from Bear Essentials Newspaper and had great news for Joan; she had won the holiday coloring contest for her age group and had won four tickets to the Snow Queen ballet performance. I ran into the living room with the phone and explained to Joan she had won. Her eyes lit up as she jumped and flapped her arms across the living room; it melted my heart. On a tough day when her emotions snowballed and left her feeling like she couldn't do anything good enough, she was redeemed by a simple phone call and a coloring page of the nutcracker prince.
We told her we would take her younger cousin with us and took them both out to buy special outfits so they could dress up to go to the ballet. Although we were very nervous about Joan going into sensory overload, the performance was in a small theatre without a loud sound system. We made it through the entire show and we were able to celebrate her accomplishment and help her feel like a superstar. Before the show began, the director of the performance came out onto the floor and found us. She pulled Joan aside and told her how proud she was of Joan's picture and that she had it hanging up backstage so all of the dancers could see it. A few days later we received an e-mail from the director, wanting to know what Joan's favorite part of the performance was.
In a world where special children aren't always included or recognized in a typical light, this time it seemed everyone went above and beyond make sure Joan was treated as anyone else would be. There were no discriminations or wayward glances; it was all in fun and freedom. Even though she didn't do very well running the turkey trot, that same day she was blessed with someone else acknowledging that she did, indeed, do something well enough to receive an award.
This "In Their Own Words," is written by Melissa Bocconcelli of Arizona.

WEST NEW YORK, N.J. -- The FBI has removed a computer from the New Jersey home of the sister of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Police in West New York say the woman is cooperating in the investigation, but they didn't immediately release her name. They have cordoned off the three-story brick building across the Hudson River from New York City.
The woman, speaking earlier through a crack in the door, told News12 New Jersey and The Star-Ledger she is sorry for the families that lost loved ones.
She says she doesn't know what got into her brothers. At the same time, she says she doesn't know if it's true that her brothers were responsible.
Her brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed overnight in a shootout with police outside Boston. Her younger brother remains at large.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (December 13, 2012)--Joined by a gaggle of reporters, former Republican Florida Gov. Charlie Crist filed paperwork at the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections office in downtown St. Petersburg, Fla. to become a Democrat.
Afterward, Crist joked with elections workers and held a short news conference outside.
Crist said he "feels comfortable" as a Democrat but remained mum on whether he would challenge Republican Governor Rick Scott.
Crist said there were a few issues he would handle differently from when he was governor including his signing of a petition banning same-sex marriage.
He said Thursday that he wouldn't sign that petition today.
Crist was elected governor as a Republican and then ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate as an independent.
He tweeted Friday night that he was becoming a Democrat.

About the Book
Get your style therapy with Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow by Today Show style editor Bobbie Thomas.
This thoughtful and inspiring guide provides the information you need to feel stylish, smart, sexy, and satisfied—with a look that's uniquely your own—in order to become your most confident and beautiful self.
You're invited to gain self-awareness, clarity, and confidence, and take full advantage of the fashion tips, tools, and lessons that Bobbie Thomas lays out, including how to identify your best colors, how to select the most flattering clothes for your individual shape, how to edit your closet, and how to shop smart—to harness the power of self-expression.
The foreword by fashion icon Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, and color illustrations throughout, reinforce Bobbie's mantra of self-expression: "Style is the way you to speak to the world without words."
"Everyone gets dressed and getting dressed affects everything."
—Bobbie Thomas, the TODAY show style editor
Beyond understanding your best colors and figure-flattering clothes, Bobbie takes a unique step back in this inspiring guide to empower you to feel stylish, smart, sexy, and satisfied—with a look that's uniquely your own…
You can't live life naked, so after you brush your teeth in the morning, you put "something" on. It's the first decision of your day, but have you ever considered that it's also one of the most important? Style goes far beyond fashion and beauty and is a powerful way to say who we are and get what we want. Your "style speak" comes through in a louder "voice" than anything you might scream from a rooftop. But often, there is so much focus on the outside that we forget to step back and understand that style really starts inside.
From your love life to your career, and the less obvious moments in between, the way people see you will filter your opportunities. Ultimately, what they see is what you get. In part I of this must-have style guide, Bobbie Thomas will help you identify what you'd like others to see and boost your confidence, and in part II , she'll show you how to find your best colors and cuts, edit your closet, and more, so you can build a better, more useful wardrobe.

Christie Campaign Has Spent At Least $314,000 in Legal Fees in Bridge Scandal
Gov. Chris Christie's reelection campaign has been billed for at least $314,000 on legal fees so far in representing itself in regards to the George Washington Bridge lane closure investigations, a total that exceeds the committee's campaign cash on hand.
Chris Christie for Governor retained Patton Boggs LLP in response to a federal investigation into the September lane closures, along with a probe by a New Jersey legislative committee. The campaign committee received subpoenas for information in regards to the matter from prosecutors and the legislative committee in January.
The firm billed a total of $160,000 for legal fees and documentation in March, according to campaign reports released Monday. Stroz Friedberg, an investigations and intelligence firm, billed $154,000 for legal fees that month, the report shows.
Mark Sheridan, a Patton Boggs lawyer representing the campaign, confirmed that both payments were made for fees related to the bridge. Mr. Sheridan didn't say how many hours the firm had billed for or their rate pertaining to the lane closure matter.
The figure is the first disclosed regarding the Republican governor's response to the investigations.
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, the firm hired by the Christie administration to represent it in response to investigations into the lane closures, has yet to submit bills. Those costs will be borne by the state. The legislative committee has spent at least $488,400 in state funds for a special counsel retained for their probe, according to the firm's invoices.
Prosecutors and lawmakers are examining whether the September lane closures were legal and who was responsible for them. Five people tied to the Christie administration have resigned since.
In January, Patton Boggs petitioned the state Election Law Enforcement Commission to use remaining funds from Mr. Christie's reelection campaign to cover their legal expenses. The firm could not estimate its costs at the time.
The firm could not estimate its costs at the time, but stated that it would be "costly and time-consuming" and require an outside vendor to preserve data on computers, tablets and smart phones to respond to the subpoenas.
In February, the commission allowed the campaign expenses, so long as the Christie campaign wasn't the target of a grand jury investigation. It also allowed the campaign to continue to raise funds to cover the legal expenses, as long as it advised donors of the restrictions.
The Christie campaign received only $3,800 in donations during the first three months of this year, with a total of $156,587 in cash on hand, according to the report. The document lists $264,000 in legal fees as debts, meaning that the campaign could have to raise more funds to pay them.

Excellent!!! The apartment is super comfortable, located in a very quiet block, yet only a few meters from the subway, that can take you everywhere!
Kakuna and Fred were very friendly, and provided a ton of information on things to do.
It was the perfect stay for us, we will surely come back!!!

It was the perfect stay for us, we will surely come back!!!
The apartment is comfortable and has everything to spend a pleasant stay, with a subway stop nearby. Our hostess, Kakuna, has always been very friendly. No doubt, when we return to New York, we will repeat !!
It was the perfect stay for our trip to New York City. We enjoyed it being in the apartement, it is very cosy and it has absolutely everything you need. There's a Subway station right next to the apartment. Also, the owners were so friendly and helpful and they provided us with a lot of useful information. We highly recommend choosing this apartement for a trip to NY.
It's been a fantastic stay! The studio is located in a residencial part of Harlem, with plenty or typical New York houses. It's a few stops from the subway stop, and next to the Columbia University. I've stayed in different places in north-Manhattan and this is definitely the one I loved the most. Our landlord K. is always willing to help and clear up all doubts, she's very kind and a wonderful person. I would definitely recommend it, it is really great value!!
Kakuna is the perfect host: always reachable, very kind and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay at her place. She gave us a lot of useful tips about restaurants, bars, shopping malls, tourist attraction and much more... She knows basically everything about NYC! The apartment is very cozy and perfectly located, just 2 steps away from the metro. We would defenitely go back there.
We definitely enjoyed the stay at Harlem Studio. Kakuna is a great host. She is very kind and helpful. There are bread, egg, orange juice, water, and butter in the fridge--we can cook our own breakfast, so considerate! ! The fridge and heater could be loud at night, but it is acceptable because it is a studio.
The neighborhood is very quite and in a perfect location, 1 minute walk from subway, easy access to everywhere.
A perfect property in a perfect location. The only thing you could want is for time to stop so that you could enjoy it for longer! The apartment is situated in a lovely quiet, tree lined neighbourhood with 2 subway lines nearby and also serviced by several supermarkets and bodegas. Having a separate entrance was beneficial as it meant that you didn't feel you were 'just another tourist' intruding on the residents, as can be the case in other properties. The hosts went above and beyond, were extremely welcoming (supplying dinner after coming of a 23 hour flight was immensly appreciated) and in the lead up they took the time to ascertain my interests so that they could recommend attractions accordingly. I cannot wait to stay heer again!
For 10 days/nights this was our perfect home in Harlem. No reason to look elsewhere in New York anymore. Hospital hosts, more comfort than we had time for to use, clean, 100% privacy, very nearby B and C subway, nice and safe neighbourhood. On Sunday morning we joined the Gospel church. A good experience. Also for non-believers. Kakuna gave us some good recommendations, like the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia and a neighbourhood restaurant owned by Burkina Faso people with very good food and the street theatre of real life around you. We miss it. Liesbet & Maria
Wir verbrachten 10 Tage in New York und in diesem Apartment.
Die Zeit war wirklich super. Die Wohnung war gepflegt und sauber. Der Kontakt mit Kakuna und die Schlüsselübergabe verliefen auch problemlos. Wie schon geschrieben, liegt die Wohnung wirklich direkt an der Metro und ist somit sehr zentral. Es waren sogar bereits Kleinigkeiten für das Frühstück vorhanden (Milch, Saft, Kaffee, Brot). Wir kommen gerne wieder!

One man is dead after a weekend accident involving eleven vehicles in Columbia County.
52-year old Wayne Leroy Malick of Augusta died after a car collided with ten bikers, who were riding to raise money for charity.
Malick was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:45 Saturday morning.
The deputy coroner of Columbia County tells News 12 Malick suffered from multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
The accident happened around 11:00 Saturday morning on County Line Road, near the McDuffie and Columbia County lines.
"It was a fundraiser for a little girl in Harlem...just a tragic accident that happened," says Jimmy Glasscock, who lives nearby.
The accident left at least one person dead, several injured and three in critical condition as bikes lay scattered across County Line Road.
Witnesses say the accident was so severe some had to be airlifted to nearby hospitals.
"There was a lady, I don't know if she was pinned under car, but she was by the front wheel of the driver's side," says Robin Reasoner, who stopped to help the victims.
Robin was on her way to her mother's house when she and her friend Heather came across the aftermath of the wreck.
"There were people laying everywhere, motorcycles smoking, and I just heard a baby screaming, the driver's side doors you couldn't get to them at all, so I went around and grabbed the baby out," Robin says.
She says the baby appeared to be okay and so did her mother, the driver of the Buick.
"She was out of the car, 'What did I do, what have I done?' She didn't really realize what was going on," says Robin.
Hours later, officers were still puzzled as to just when and where it all went wrong.
Orange spray paint traces several tire marks that appears to be where bikers tried to get around.
"When you come up on something like that you don't know what to expect, but that was by far the worse it could've been to me," Robin says.
Several groups were supposed to have joined that ride on Saturday, but many backed out at the last minute because of the rain.
Fellow bikers looked on in disbelief while they hoped for the best.
Several other people were injured in the accident. Four of the victims remain at MCG.
Both Kathy Malick and Carl Albritton are now in serious condition at MCG.
On Sunday they were reported to be in fair condition.
Jimmy Barnes, another victim, was in good condition Sunday and is now in fair condition along with Elisia Hodges.
The other three victims have already been released from the hospital.
The Georgia State Patrol is still investigating the cause of the accident.

As the classic confrontation unfolded, Albany High sophomore Allison Chuang kept focusing on what it would take to finally beat Pinole Valley's Stephanie Lin in the North Coast Section Division I singles final.
"Keep it deep, but don't really go for too much," Chuang said afterward of her strategy.
Mission accomplished. She overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third set and took a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Lin, the top seed and defending champion, at Diamond Hills Sports Club in Oakley.
Consequently, Chuang has been selected as Bay Area News Group's East Bay Girls Tennis Player of the Year.
Chuang, who strives for good depth on her groundstrokes, also beat Acalanes' Isabella Von Ebbe, Northgate's Ana Boeriu and Monte Vista's Kaitlyn Haithcock in straight sets at NCS.
Albany coach Sue Ford smiles when she discusses Chuang, the player and the person.
"I really enjoy Allison," Ford said of the No. 1 ranked 16s USTA singles player in Northern California. "She's very calm, and she has a good game-face, and she's very gracious."
Morgan Shepherd, who gives private tennis lessons to Lin and Chuang, shares Ford's enthusiasm.
"Allison had a remarkable year in terms of how much she's improved," Shepherd said. "She's a great girl. Every day she just comes out with a big smile and loves to play. She gets better every day. It's hard to stop someone that any time she's out there enjoys it immensely."
Chuang credits Shepherd with helping her improve "a lot" in the past two-plus years.
Still, Chuang's upending Lin, who is ranked sixth in the 18s in Northern California, was a surprise. She'd lost to Lin twice during the season and in last year's NCS semifinals.
"I was the younger one, so I didn't really have the pressure," Chuang said. "Plus, she's been beating me, so with that match I just went in and I was just going to try and hit everything back and not have her make me miss."
Chuang, who wants to play NCAA Division I tennis, became Albany's first female section tennis champion. The Cougars' Andrew Gu accomplished the feat last spring.
High school play allows top juniors to branch out socially, something Chuang has really taken to.
"Her teammates really like her," Ford said. "She's very personable. ... I really think she enjoyed be on the team."

I am a photographer
with a full-time day job in the IT consulting industry in the last 18+ years. But starting February 2016, I am taking a year-long sabbatical to spend the much needed time with my family and to squeeze in some travels, photography and other things my family and I love to do together. My 11 year old daughter and I talked about setting up our own online shop to sell stuffs we make ourselves. My wife and I talked about starting something she loves doing. It will be a very busy and potentially terrifying 12 months for us but our openness to the future is exciting and who knows that we may be able to prepare ourselves for that next big thing.

Hydro power big locally
Firm eyes Muskingum
January 20, 2013
MARIETTA — A Boston-based company is pursuing the installation of hydroelectric facilities on seven dams on the Muskingum Rive....
You are correct, coal is not the answer, even though global warming has never been proven, its actually climate change. There is actually draw backs to every alternative energy source. Being from the Mid-Ohio Valley I know that burning coal is not the answer, but I know that this project sounds good on paper, but this will affect the (tributaries) of the Muskingum river and will also affect the ecosystem of the Ohio River.

"All of the dams will operate in what's called a 'run of river' mode, using available water as it flows over the dams to operate the turbines." That seems to address jbennett's main concern. As I read it, they will only use water that would have flowed over the dam, they won't lower the pool. There might be an issue over the water required to operate the locks. Get a copy of the license application. If this concern isn't adequately covered there, ask to have more specific language inserted.
As for profitability, I have to assume Free Flow has assessed the risk. (If there is a subsidy involved, I don't think I'll have a problem w/ that. These projects don't tear down our mountains or emit carbon dioxide (beyond the power & fuel used in manufacturing & installing the equipment). )

The Ohio River makes sense, but not it's trubutaries. It sounds like the cost would be to high to build to ever recover the investment. This river roars in the spring and comes to a standstill in the summer. You would have to drain the ponds behind each****to get enough water to run these units. This would shut down boating each summer due to water levels. Sorry, thumbs down on this project.
