I needed a smaller one for my basement and figured 700w was about as much additional power as my general circuit would handle. It performs better than I'd hoped! My only complaint is that the door only opens 90 degrees, so it's tough to get into from certain seats. I'd certainly buy it again, though! For it's size, you can't ask for any more than this one gives you.

The first microwave delivered didn't work, all the buttons were broken other than the on button. Getting a replacement, without having to pay for one up front, wasn't easy, and then the process was completely screwed up including them telling me they would send a return label and never sending it and delivering two replacements instead of one causing me lots of extra work and efforts since it is very heavy and the delivery of packages is very far from my dorm.

Not bad, but it cooks!
By smartcookie007
from Undisclosed
Our larger 1000 watt GE microwave suddenly stopped heating food after about 8 years, so we wanted a small one to have while we shopped for another. The only reason we went with this one was because it was a bargain, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have bought another appliance from a company that pays virtually no taxes in the U.S. thanks to their clever accountants making the best use out of every tax loophole that exists. The microwave is not actually working properly....when the food is finished cooking and it beeps 4 times and says "END" in the display, it continues cooking that entire time, another 3-4 seconds, till it shuts off.
Great Product

It is a good product. It's small size is great for a small kitchen. This plastic film over the buttons peels off and the keys are a little hard to press sometimes, but over all, it is a good product.
Exactly as expected

I wanted a basic but attractive small size microwave for my kitchen. This is exactly what it is. Heats well for 700 watt. I do wonder why they put a popcorn button on the front, and then recommend in the manual that you don't use that button for popcorn. Am I missing something here?I am happy with this product. Very good price.

California Gov. Jerry Brown is riding high, though not quite as high as a few months ago, and might not have much to worry about if he seeks another term next year, a new Field Poll shows.
The poll found 51 percent of California voters approve of the job Brown is doing while 33 percent disapprove. That's down slightly from a 57 percent approval rating in February, but it's still higher than each of nine earlier Field Poll measures taken since he was elected in 2010.
Democrats approve of Brown's performance 4 to 1 (68 percent to 17 percent), while nonpartisan or third-party voters approve 54 percent to 29 percent. Republicans disagree, with nearly three times as many disapproving (61 percent) as approving (23 percent).
"He's generally in a comfortable position," said poll director Mark DiCamillo, who said February's higher number might have been due to voters feeling good about the budget forecast Brown had just presented. "Now we're sort of back to reality, dealing with problems like the prisons -- that's kind of a no-win situation for the governor."
Brown has struggled against a federal court order requiring California to release nearly 10,000 inmates by the end of this year in order to improve the state's prison conditions.
Brown hasn't announced his candidacy for re-election next year, though he has been raising campaign money; his committee, which had $7.16 million in the bank at the start of 2013, raised at least $2.34 million in June alone.
With the primary less than a year away, this Field Poll found 43 percent of voters are inclined to support Brown for a second term while 38 percent are not and 19 percent say it depends or they're undecided.
"A fair number are on the fence, waiting to see who the alternative will be," DiCamillo said.
That might sound like good news for two well-known Republicans -- former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, of Santa Maria, and Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, of Hesperia -- who have launched campaigns to replace Brown.
But it still looks like an uphill climb for them: Among Democrats, the margin supporting another Brown term is 2½ to 1 (57 percent to 22 percent); he also has support from pluralities of young women, seniors, college graduates, middle-of-the-road voters and those in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Those are the segments likeliest to turn out at the polls, DiCamillo noted, while Republicans account for only 29 percent of the state's voters. Candidates like Maldonado and Donnelly would have to appeal strongly to nonpartisan voters and even some Democrats, he said, "and that is going to be a tall order."
Bobby Wilson, 61, is a Republican but said he's inclined to re-elect Brown, because he's making state lawmakers "bite the bullet."
"And he's been doing pretty good on the tax situation," said Wilson, a retired military serviceman from Emeryville.
Brown's office declined to comment on the poll numbers Tuesday.
The Field Poll surveyed random samples of either 841 or 846 California registered voters between June 26 and July 21; the overall margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.

A dense cold front muscled its way into the Bay Area on Wednesday, shoving warm air out of the way and settling in for a stay into next week, potentially reintroducing residents to black ice on the roads and frozen foliage in the garden.
Forecasters said temperatures throughout the Bay Area are expected to drop to freezing and lower, and could set records -- including one in San Jose that goes back to the 19th century.
"Everybody's going to get their share," said National Weather Service forecaster Diana Henderson. "It's coming down out of the north -- that's where all the cold is, and we usually like to keep it up there. But every once in a while a burst of really cold air migrates down."
San Jose can expect to see temperatures drop to 38 by Thursday morning, and touch the 32-degree freezing point by the weekend. Further south, Morgan Hill will be a couple degrees cooler, and the snap could break a 28-degree record for Saturday in San Jose that has stood since 1894, Henderson said.
Areas in the East Bay could reach that San Jose record, Henderson said.
Outlying areas like Concord and Livermore will see nightly temperatures sink to 27 to 29 degrees into the weekend before temperatures start to get slightly "warmer" and go back up to the mid to high 30s at night.
Days will warm up to the low 50s in the South Bay, Henderson said, while East Bay temperatures will hover right around the high 40s and possibly crack the 50 degree mark. Normal Bay Area temperatures for this time of year are about 10 degrees higher than what's been forecast.
Snow level are also expected to drop to extremely low elevations over the next few days.
Though rain levels will total less than half an inch at best, according to Henderson, snow could fall as low as 1,500 feet, and up to a half a foot of snow in certain mountainous areas.
But enough snow along with freezing temperatures will cause slow travel for at time along Interstate 80 over Donner Pass and parts of Interstate 5.
The California Highway Patrol issued a warning Wednesday that the conditions are conducive to black ice, hard-to-see patches of frozen water on roadways.
"If the roadway appears wet, however, there is no spray coming from the vehicles' tires around you, be aware," CHP officials said in advisory released Wednesday. "This could be extremely dangerous. You may be driving on ice."
Bill Miller of Gilroy's Bonfante Nurseries said that in addition to citrus trees, residents should be wary of the freeze effect on other tropical specimens such as ficus, carob and jacaranda trees.
"If it's too big to cover with cloth, people can wet down the soil to insulate the roots," Miller said. "If it's bone dry it lowers the insulation factor."
Henderson said the front doesn't have much moisture, and residents may see only "drips and drabs" of rain, although she said it's possible that higher peaks such as Mount Hamilton might see some snow.
Jennifer Van Every, spokeswoman for EHC LifeBuilders, said they "definitely expect an uptick" of people utilizing their cold-weather shelters in San Jose, Sunnyvale and Gilroy.
"That's the norm; you see it for both very cold temperatures and rain," she said. "We're always encouraging people to get out of the cold."
Henderson said the cold air will move out of town slowly, and by next Wednesday temperatures should be rising to more normal levels.

Founded on June 1, 1828 in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany by Gottfried Martin Meyer and his wife. After Meyer's death in 1849, his widow continued running the business, which expanded greatly after she married the composer and pianist Henry Charles Litolff (1818-1891) in 1851.
Litolff brought important contacts with composers like Berlioz, Bülow, Fetis, Heller, Joachim, Liszt, Moscheles, and the Wieniawski brothers. Meyer's son Theodor Litolff (1839-1912), who was adopted by Litolff, took over the business when Litolff divorced his mother in 1858. Theodor was an ingenious inventor, improving high-speed presses and using zinc plates for music engraving. The famous Litolff editions of Beethoven's works was initiated in 1862, and the series Litolffs Bibliothek Classischer Compositionen, a carefully edited series of classic works, was launched two years later.
The firm passed to Theodor's son Richard (1876-1937) in 1912, and was ultimately sold to C. F. Peters in 1940 by Richard's widow. In 1950 the Collection Litolff moved to Frankfurt with Peters. Peters continues to use the Litolff imprint to the present day.
In uploading and evaluating Litolff scores, remember that "Collection Litolff" in the bottom of the page indicates an Edition Number, not a plate, and a date after 1863.

The Miramonte High girls basketball team's defensive pressure comes in consistent waves, one play after the other.
Salesian found that out first hand as Miramonte earned a 72-57 victory Saturday in the championship game of the West Coast Jamboree's Diamond Division.
"It was paramount," said Miramonte coach Kelly Sopak about the importance of his team's defensive pressure. "We are going to live and die with our defensive pressure and our transition offense."
Miramonte (11-1) had its full-court press and trap in high gear from the beginning of the game, forcing the visiting Pride (9-3) into rushing throws and turnovers.
The Matadors took a 12-4 lead in the first 3 minutes, 52 seconds of the game and did not trail after that. Salesian star Mariya Moore was hampered with foul trouble throughout the game and fouled out with 5:26 to go. She scored 12 points, including eight in the second half, and also had 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals.
Miramonte was paced in scoring by Sabrina Ionescu with 20 points, including 13 in the second half. Teammate Carly Gill added 19 points and Miramonte's Breanna Alford had 12 rebounds.
Zoe Correal had 13 points and 10 rebounds for Salesian.
Carondelet 90, Sacramento 58: With a 32-point effort from junior point guard Natalie Romeo, the Cougars earned a spot in the West Coast Jamboree's Platinum Division final for the second time in three years.
The semifinal showdown between two perennial Northern California powers wasn't close after the first quarter. Carondelet (8-1), which finished second in this tournament two years ago before skipping the event last season, took control of the game with an 11-0 run in the first quarter and never looked back.
The Cougars will play the winner of a late semifinal between Berkeley and Chaminade in Monday's 1:30 p.m. championship game at Deer Valley High.
As usual, the Cougars were the smaller team but made up for their size disadvantage against Sacramento (8-2) with their quickness.
"We just ran up and down the floor, we do that a lot because of our lack of height," Romeo said. "We try to condition a lot so we're in shape."
That strategy led to quick transition buckets, especially in the third quarter, when Romeo tallied 21 of her points. Seemingly every shot she put up in the period went in.
Midway through the third quarter, Romeo intercepted a pass and scored an easy layup at the other end of the floor, pushing the lead to 17 points and forcing Sacramento to call a timeout.
But Romeo and the Cougars then went on a 15-2 run to put the game far out of reach. Carondelet led 74-43 after three quarters.
Romeo wasn't just an effective scorer -- she also finished with six steals and six assists.
Lauren Nicolosi (13 points) and Makenzie Cast (11 points), also reached double-digits for Carondelet.
-- Stephanie Hammon
Chaminade 62, Berkeley 57: Some hot 3-point shooting by Christa Fandino propelled the Eagles past Berkeley in the late West Coast Jamboree Platinum Division semifinal.
Berkeley had a 30-26 advantage at the half, but Fandino caught fire late in the third quarter to help give Chaminade the lead for good. She hit three consecutive shots from long range as part of a 19-2 Chaminade run.
Desire Finnie tried to rally the Yellowjackets, scoring 11 of her 21 points in the final period. Her three-point play with 55 seconds left got Berkeley within 56-52, but Chaminade did enough down the stretch to hold off the Yellowjackets.
Rachel Howard added 17 points for Berkeley.

I know. You got beat up. So did I. And then we beat up each other. Just call it a B-side melody with an A-side whiplash like NOBODY business. The way I see it, the best way to deal with it is to just write a better tune and flip the A-side to the B-side and the B-side to the Z. Put it away folks and let it sleep because there's a piper man a playin' to a wholly brand new beat. Flip the Z side to the B side and the A side to the C. That my friends is how you navigate the darkness; to turn the fright into a kite and the sorrow into sight.

Definition of deconstruction in English:
noun[mass noun]
A method of critical analysis of philosophical and literary language which emphasizes the internal workings of language and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in forms of expression.
Example sentences
- In philosophical terms, deconstruction is a form of relativist scepticism in the tradition of Nietzsche.
- Derrida has two main ways of exposing these textual interplays, deconstruction and double reading.
- Alas, these are the only two texts critical of deconstruction that I have ever found that also understand it.
Deconstruction focuses on a text as such rather than as an expression of the author's intention, stressing the limitlessness (or impossibility) of interpretation and rejecting the Western philosophical tradition of seeking certainty through reasoning by privileging certain types of interpretation and repressing others. It was effectively named and popularized by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida from the late 1960s and taken up particularly by US literary critics.
deconstructionism noun
- Example sentences
- From the dialectic materialism of Hegel to the deconstructionism of Jacques Derrida, these traditions distinguished themselves from the Anglo-American schools of analytic thought in both their content and their methodologies.
- He has criticized liberal Protestantism, Marxism, Hegelianism, naturalism and deconstructionism.
- Pinker talks about relativism, social constructivism, science studies, cultural studies, critical theory, postmodernism, and deconstructionism.
deconstructionistadjective& noun
- Example sentences
- He typifies as absurd the post-modern, deconstructionist school of literary criticism, which dismisses the importance of authorship or authorial intention, thus allowing a text to be read and interpreted in any way.
- While reality is not so subjective as postmodern philosophers and deconstructionist literary critics would have us believe, the words we use can have a powerful effect.
- His solution, in so far as it is meant to be that, lies in what has become in recent years one of his most celebrated views, thanks to its being so congenial to deconstructionists.
Late 19th century (originally in the general sense 'taking to pieces'): from de- (expressing reversal) + construction.

Big Fat Lies About Fat
Americans are obsessed with fat; either with eating it or being it. We've been told that we're too fat and we're told that eating fat is bad for you. Being fat is your own business. You'll feel better if you lose a few pounds, but you will enjoy your next meal if it has a fat content rather than being a bland cereal…which explains why so many cereals today have some surgery covering or content.

OAKLAND -- A move-in delay at the future headquarters of the Bay Area's regional transportation agency will cost tollpayers an extra $5.4 million to temporarily house FasTrak, the agency's electronic toll-collection operation.
FasTrak was supposed to set up shop in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's planned new office building at 375 Beale St. in San Francisco.
But the eight-story structure won't be ready to occupy until mid-2015, and the lease on FasTrak's current office expires this June, which leaves the operation's 146 employees and 1.4 million electronic accounts homeless.
To close the gap, the commission's Bay Area Toll Authority Oversight Committee on Wednesday reluctantly earmarked $5.4 million from its toll proceeds to move FasTrak into temporary offices for up to 18 months.
"It's not like we have a choice," said committee member and Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates. "(FasTrak) can't stay where they are, and we aren't ready to receive them. It was unfortunate timing."
The money will cover rent and building improvements for an interim FasTrak office at 62 First St. FasTrak allows motorists to carry an electronic device in their vehicles that automatically deducts tolls from a prepaid account.
The transportation commission initially planned to move into a fully renovated Beale Street building with three other regional agencies in 2014.
But the building's sole remaining tenant -- the federal Drug Enforcement Agency Western Laboratory -- apparently lacked the same sense of urgency. The agency occupies the top floor, and it isn't scheduled to move to new offices on Koll Center Parkway in Pleasanton until November.
The commission hired a contractor last summer and began renovations, but there is a great deal the construction team cannot finish until the building is empty, said commission spokesman Randy Rentschler.
"Getting the DEA to focus on finding a new location has been a challenge," Rentschler conceded. "The federal government did not move at the pace we would have preferred, and there is only so much work the contractor can do at night and on the weekends."
The commission's other challenge was finding FasTrak an interim home in San Francisco's hot real estate market.
The landlord at FasTrak's current offices on Embarcadero Street in San Francisco wouldn't extend the lease past June 30, and few were interested in a short-term lease.
The extra $5.4 million in costs is likely to fuel more criticism of the commission's controversial 2011 decision to buy the large $90 million former post office, share it with other agencies and rent out the unused space.
In addition, the initial $80 million renovation cost estimate has ballooned to $124 million.
Angry over what he considered an improper use of toll dollars, state Transportation Committee Chairman Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, unsuccessfully attempted to block the deal.

Resident Evil: Retribution
Action / Horror
Director: Paul W.S. Anderson
Running time: 95 mins Released: 28th September 2012
About Resident Evil: Retribution
The first Resident Evil film minimised the haunted house atmosphere and tension of the video game series on which it was based, preferring instead to head full-tilt into the action genre with a gun-toting, round-housing heroine and lots of fight scenes. This fifth film promises more of the same, with hi-tech weapons and destruction on a global scale as armies of the undead ravage the world. Alice (Milla Jovovich) the near-superhuman ass-kicker who has thus far survived the apocalypse, is a little more vulnerable this time round as she doesn't have the T-virus powers that helped her in the previous films. Once again she becomes a target of the Umbrella corporation – really, their interest is starting to become creepy – before taking on her former ally Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), who is under Umbrella's control.

Are you going to take this lying down, America's Dorkalicious Fantasy Girlfriend and/or the planet's Coolest City?
Wait! This just in:
"I should clarify not all of Brooklyn, just the hipster parts. ;-)"
Yeah, duh, we get it, Meghan. You don't like hipsters. You don't have to keep rubbing it in their hipster faces.
p.s. That emoticon would look a hell of a lot cooler if it were celebrating Movember. :-3)

To dice, slice, snip, shave, and chop like a champ in the kitchen, having the right commercial cutlery to do the job makes a world of difference. They say the most dangerous aspect of a busy kitchen is a dull knife, so why not avoid that danger by bringing some high-quality, well-maintained cutlery to the table. Each knife, set of sheers, and sharpeners serves a purpose, and it's the duty of a responsible chef to know this purpose and use the tool in the manner it was meant to be used. Commercial cutlery is a lot stronger, a lot sharper, and lasts longer than the blades most people use at home. You get what you pay for, and quality cutlery just can't be beat.

August 30, 2006
Two students fighting on a Richmond County school bus ends with one going to the hospital and the other to the Youth Detention Center.
One school board member wants to know how the weapon possibly entered Glenn Hills High School.
It was a school bus argument that turned physical at the corner of Chadbourne and West Kensington off of Deans Bridge Road.
"There was an argument between the two girls, and the argument turned physical, and at some point one of the girls was stabbing the other," says Maj. Ken Autry of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Officials say 16-year-old Jessica Johnson stabbed a 15 year old nearly seven times, requiring the victim to get 4 stitches.
"The one with the knife has already been charged though Juvenile Court with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on school property," Maj. Autry says.
Richmond County School Board member Barbara Padgett finds the incident disturbing, and is puzzled by how a weapon possibly made it through school and onto the school bus.
"It is very disturbing that the young girl evidently was in school all day with the knife and no one found it," Padgett says.
The school system has about 10 bus monitors...but which buses do you place them on?
"You think there is a problem on bus 95 and you put one there, and then on bus 100 and you didn't have one there," Padgett says.
The bus driver was taken to St. Joseph for stress related to the incident.
The sheriff's office is trying to locate the weapon they say was used in the incident. They believe the knife was handed to another student who then left the scene.

In Addition to Sequels, Disney Developing Films Based on 'Star Wars' Characters
Walt Disney is developing films based on "Star Wars" characters, Chief Executive Robert Iger said Tuesday, in addition to the three sequels the company has already said it would make.
Screenwriters Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are at work on films centered on characters from the blockbuster science-fiction series, Mr. Iger said in an appearance on CNBC. He declined to elaborate on details such as which characters the films would include or when they would be released.
The film projects will come in addition to "Star Wars" sequels Disney has been developing since October, when the entertainment giant paid more than $4 billion in cash and stock for Lucasfilm Ltd., the company that produced "Star Wars" and its many sequels and prequels. Disney said at the time that it would produce three new films in the lucrative series, starting in 2015.
Disney is to release a "Star Wars" sequel every other year after that, with director J.J. Abrams set to make the first installment, slated for release in summer 2015. Michael Arndt is to write the screenplay.
Messrs. Kasdan and Kinberg are consulting Mr. Abrams on that film, Mr. Iger said Tuesday. Mr. Kasdan is no stranger to "Star Wars," with credits that include "Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back."
Mr. Kinberg wrote 2009's "Sherlock Holmes," and produced "X-Men: First Class."
Mr. Iger didn't specify release dates for the spin-off projects. "We're going for it, and it feels good," he said.

Same Time, Same Place
Break it: Relive the past. Take her to the garage and reclaim the space you long ago ceded: Seduce her in the backseat of the car. It feels a little public, it's steeped in testosterone, and there's a throwback, high-school quality to it. Make it a quickie, which has its place in the sexual diet; having lots of sex begets more sex, because you stay connected, says Laura Berman, Ph.D., director of the Berman Center in Chicago.
Predictable Foreplay
Break it: Work out together. Think of it as fat-burning foreplay. It will raise her dopamine levels, easing her anxieties. "She'll feel the sex is about her and not some random need she has to accommodate," says Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., a professor of sociology at Washington University. Bonus: Your post-run sweat has androstadienone, a testosterone derivative that spikes her arousal when she smells it.
Lopsided First Moves
Break it: Tie her hands. It's now up to her to figure out how to remove your shirt, tie, cuff links, and pants. You'll share a few laughs and marvel at her ingenuity. Whether you tie her up or she binds you, the game will break your predictable, first-move habits. The bonus: "It acts as an automatic foreplay extender," says Berman.
TV, Then Sex
Break it: Read to her. It doesn't have to be erotica. It's an intimate activity that makes her focus on your voice. The deeper, the better. Low voices are a sign of high testosterone, which ups her attraction to you, according to a Scottish study. Read lying in bed with your head up, to dip an octave; it forces you to push air with your diaphragm instead of your lungs.
Habitual Hand Holding
Break it: Caress her neck. Sure, holding hands can work as an aphrodisiac: It shows her you're devoted and proud to tell the world. But after a while, its poignancy wanes. A stepped-up PDA will deepen her connection to you, so she'll be more willing to really give herself to you in the bedroom, says Schwartz.

Kayaking usually brings up images of white water adventures where the adrenaline flows just as fast as the rushing river. The backdrop is typically a cold, northern river flanked by dense pine forest and surrounded by mountain scenery, so you may be wondering how kayaks can ever be mentioned in the same sentence as jungle adventure tours in the Amazon rainforest. Well, there is more than one type of kayak and those built for paddling on the sea work just as well on the big, meandering rivers of the Amazon basin.
Even better, kayaks are one of the best ways to see wildlife in the Amazon, including Tambopata. On recent kayaking trips near our lodges, guests have been surprised to see how close they were able to approach small caimans, capybaras, and various waterbirds. The reason that kayaks have turned out to be a safe, excellent way to observe wildlife on rainforest adventure tours in Tambopata is due to their stealth.
Much more quiet than motorboats (kayaks are more or less silent), these unobtrusive watercraft seem not to readily scare off animals that frequent the water's edge. Their slower speed and maneuverability also come in handy for finding more wildlife and getting prolonged views. Capybaras, Capped Herons, and monkeys may also pay less attention to a kayak because they don't recognize its shape as being that of a person. Perhaps they think that the kayaks floating by are just more pieces of driftwood on the peaceful Tambopata.
Whatever the reasons may be that explain why animals show less fear of kayaks, we know that you could be in for some close looks at jungle wildlife as you float down a beautiful jungle river when taking one of our soft adventure programs.

INST 390: Independent Study
Offered: As needed
Students have an opportunity to supplement formal course offerings with Independent Study. This course is not intended to replace any formal course offerings. The student must use an Academic Standing Petition to secure permission of the instructor, the Faculty Advisor, and the Dean of the College in that order. A full course outline must be attached to the petition. A student may take no more than one course of Independent Study in any semester.
1-3 credit hours
Notes: An independent study would be a study outside the curriculum in which a student would pursue an area of special interest to him or her. The student should work out a program of study to be approved by the instructor who would approve the design of study, the process by which the study is carried out, and the means of assessment for credit for the study. In order to register for Independent Study (INST 390), a student must use an Academic Standing Petition to secure the permission of the instructor, the Faculty Advisor, and the Vice President for Academics/Academic Dean, in that order. If there are questions about the appropriateness or feasibility of such proposed arrangements, faculty advisors and intended instructors should discuss their concerns with the Vice President for Academics/Academic Dean prior to encouraging a student to approach the Academic Dean or to file a formal request. The approved study description must be attached to the Academic Standing Petition. A student may only request one course of Independent Study per semester and the student must be of senior standing.

What's new in User Rights Management
By Glenn Faden-Oracle on Jan 11, 2013
Per-user Security Attributes
Way back in Solaris 8 we introduced an extensible database, user_attr(4), where we could maintain the security attributes of each user. Originally the database included just three properties: roles, auths, and profiles. These were exposed as the options -R, -A, and -P on the useradd(1M) man page. Since then we have been adding new properties in each Solaris release, while preserving backward compatibility in both the file /etc/user_attr and the corresponding LDAP schema. To avoid dealing with an alphabet full of new options, we standardized on the -K option, which can be used to set the values of any property.
Some of the more recently added properties are:
Specifies per-user audit preselection flags as colon-separated always-audit-flags and never-audit-flags. As in, audit_flags=always-audit-flags:never-audit-flags. See audit_flags(5).
Specifies the PAM policy to apply to a user. pam_policy must be either an absolute pathname to a pam.conf(4) -formatted file or the name of a pam.conf-formatted file located in/etc/security/pam_policy.
Specifies whether the assigned role requires a role password or the password of the user who is assuming the role. Valid values are role and user. If roleauth is not specified, roleauth=role is implied.
and two previously existing properties now take more fine-grained values:
Authorization names can be specified using an object, such as solaris.admin.edit/etc/motd, which grants permission to edit the file /etc/motd.
An Extended Policy can be specified that qualifies the objects for which the privileges are granted. See privileges(5).
Practical Examples
I've developed three hands-on labs that demonstrate how to take advantage of some of these new features.
- The first lab demonstrates how to apply Extended Policy applies to individual privileges.
- The second lab demonstrates how fine-grained user authorizations can be applied to managing services.
- The third lab demonstrates how authentication policies can be customized for specific users.

Father and son duo John A. and John M. Sobrato will step down from daily operations at their storied Silicon Valley real estate development firm to focus on the family's philanthropic efforts, The Sobrato Organization announced Monday.
Real estate veteran Rob Hollister will take over as president of real estate in charge of day-to-day operations. The move marks the first time a nonfamily member will run daily operations for the company, which has built many of the valley's signature corporate campuses.
"We're still going to be involved in the real estate business, but letting someone outside of the family run the business is a big step," John M. Sobrato, 52, said in an interview with this newspaper. "As we look to the future, managing the family foundation is an important part of the family's focus. Philanthropy and giving away money wisely is a business we are still learning."
The Sobrato Organization manages 75 commercial properties in Silicon Valley totaling 7.5 million square feet. It also manages 6,700 apartment units from Seattle to San Diego, including the Aventino Apartments in Los Gatos and Villa Torino in San Jose.
Sobrato said he and his 74-year-old father also plan to spend more time enjoying life and traveling. Hollister, a longtime veteran of the real estate investment firm Hines, will join The Sobrato Organization later this month. He will oversee the real estate team in the sourcing, evaluation and underwriting of deals, as well as all project financing and lender relationships.
"We want someone in the office every day thinking about the business," Sobrato said.
The Sobrato Organization was founded by John A. Sobrato in 1979. John M. Sobrato has led the company for the past 15 years.
Through Sobrato Philanthropies, the firm has donated more than $238 million in cash and real estate to the Silicon Valley community. In January, the Sobrato foundation announced a $5 million contribution to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for equipment for a new 168-bed hospital wing. The building, which will house the hospital's renowned rehabilitation center as well as acute care and intensive care centers, among other facilities, will be called the John A. and Susan Sobrato Pavilion.
In April 2012, John A. and Susan Sobrato, along with their son John M. Sobrato, joined the Giving Pledge, the initiative started by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates. The pledge promises that 100 percent of the Sobratos' wealth will be given away or left to the Sobrato Family Foundation.
The family has been very supportive of Santa Clara University, which both John A. and John M. Sobrato attended. They serve on SCU's board of trustees.
Michael Engh, president of Santa Clara University, said, "John A Sobrato has chaired the Facilities Master Planning Committee and enhanced the beauty of the campus through his guidance, leadership, and generosity. He and his family have also supported programs that benefit the university and the wider community, particularly those in greatest need. He is a true 'man for others' in the Jesuit tradition of Santa Clara."
Emmett Carson, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, said the Sobratos bring not just money but intellectual talent and networks of influence to the causes they care about, from health to education.
"This announcement says that their biggest contribution is yet to come," Carson said. "They were very active philanthropists when they were business leaders, and now they are going to spend even more time devoted to philanthropy. It's a spectacular statement that I hope other business leaders follow."

2.6-1 Proximate Cause
Revised to December 1, 2007
The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant proximately caused the (death of / injuries to) <insert name of decedent / person injured>. Proximate cause does not necessarily mean the last act or cause, or the act in point of time nearest to the (death / injuries). The concept of proximate cause incorporates the principle that an accused may be charged with a criminal offense even though (his/her) acts were not the immediate cause of the (death / injuries).
An act or omission to act is a proximate cause of the (death / injuries) when it substantially and materially contributes, in a natural and continuous sequence, unbroken by an efficient, intervening cause, to the (death / injuries). It is a cause without which the (death / injuries) would not have occurred. It is a predominating cause, a substantial factor from which the (death / injuries) follow[s] as a natural, direct and immediate consequence.1
[<Include if appropriate:> It does not matter whether the particular kind of harm that results from the defendant's act be intended by the defendant.]2 When the result is a foreseeable and natural result of the defendant's conduct, the law considers the chain of legal causation unbroken and holds the defendant criminally responsible.
[<If defendant claims an intervening cause:>3
The defendant claims that (his/her) conduct was not the proximate cause of <insert name of decedent or complainant>'s (death / injuries) because there was an intervening cause that was the cause of the (death / injuries). The doctrine of intervening cause applies in a situation in which the defendant's conduct is a cause and factor of the (death / injuries), that is, <insert name of decedent or complainant> would not have (died / been injured) but for the defendant's conduct, but nonetheless something else subsequently occurs -- which may be an act of the (decedent/person injured), the act of some other person, or some nonhuman force -- that does more than supply a concurring or contributing cause of the injury. An intervening cause is unforeseeable and sufficiently powerful in its effect that it serves to relieve the defendant of criminal responsibility for (his/her) conduct. In such a case, the defendant's conduct is not the proximate cause of <insert name of decedent or complainant>'s (death / injuries).
The doctrine of intervening cause serves as a dividing line between two closely related factual situations: 1) when two or more acts or forces, one of which was set in motion by the defendant, combine to cause a person's (death / injuries), the doctrine of intervening cause will not relieve the defendant of criminal responsibility, and 2) when an unforeseeable act and force intervenes in such a powerful way as to become the proximate cause of the (death / injuries), the doctrine of intervening cause will relieve a defendant from criminal responsibility, even though his or her conduct contributed, in fact, to the (death / injuries).
In other words, when more than one factor contributes, in a chain of events, to cause (death / injuries), in order to be the proximate cause of that (death / injury), the defendant's conduct must have been a cause that necessarily set in operation the factors that accomplished the (death / injury). When the other circumstance constitutes a concurring or contributing cause of the (death / injuries), the defendant will be held responsible. When the other circumstance constitutes an intervening cause of the (death / injuries), the defendant will not be held responsible.
This is a question of fact for you, as jurors, to determine. Keep in mind, however, that the defendant does not have any burden to prove an intervening cause. The burden rests on the state to prove that the defendant's conduct was the proximate cause of <insert name of decedent or complainant>'s (death / injuries).]
[<If decedent had a pre-existing medical condition:>4
The defendant's criminal liability is
not lessened because of a pre-existing medical condition of <insert name of
decedent>. It is sufficient that the defendant's conduct set in motion a
chain of events that ultimately produced the death. If the defendant's conduct
inflicted upon <insert name of decedent> physical or emotional injury or
stress or trauma that was in this sense the proximate cause of (his/her) death,
then the defendant's conduct, under the circumstances, caused the death, even
though <insert name of decedent> had already been enfeebled by poor
physical condition and the physical or emotional stress or trauma were not the
only cause of (his/her) death. This is so even though it is probable that a
person in sound physical condition would not have died from the effects of the
defendant's conduct. It does not matter that the defendant's conduct may have
only hastened the death, or that <insert name of decedent> would have
died soon thereafter from another cause or causes. As long as (his/her)
admittedly and recognizable predisposition of <describe pre-existing
condition> was not the only substantial factor in bringing on (his/her)
death, that condition does not operate to prevent the defendant's responsibility
for (his/her) conduct having caused <insert name of decedent>'s death.
If the defendant's unlawful conduct set in motion factors that led to <insert
name of decedent>'s death, such conduct establishes the defendant's guilt
even though (his/her) conduct or the factors (he/she) set in motion were not the
only cause of <insert name of decedent>'s death.]
1 State v. Griffin, 251 Conn. 671, 712-13 n. 17 (1999).
2 Use only when the defendant may have intended one type of harm but caused another. For example, when an accused, "with the intent to cause death by shooting, shoots the victim, who, as a result, falls from a rooftop and is killed by the fall rather than the bullet. That would be a particular kind of harm not intended by the accused. It nevertheless would sustain a charge of murder if the accused intended to cause death and the fall was the direct result of the action taken to effectuate that intent." State v. Boles, 223 Conn. 535, 542 n.5 (1992).
3 See State v. Munoz, 233 Conn. 106, 124 (1995), and State v. Hannon, 56 Conn. App. 581, 586-87 (2000), cert. denied, 274 Conn. 911 (2005).
4 Use if the defendant is claiming that a pre-existing medical condition of the decedent was an intervening cause. See State v. Spates, 176 Conn. 227, 235 n.5 (1978) (defendant's actions during a robbery precipitated the victim's heart attack which led to his death); State v. Dorans, 261 Conn. 730, 736-44 (2002) (victim had a pre-existing nervous system disorder). Do not use the language that "[a] defendant takes a victim as he finds him." Id., 261 Conn. 744 n.16.
When causation is an element of the crime, but not at issue, the first three paragraphs of this instruction should be given. See State v. Collins, 100 Conn. App. 833, 848, cert. denied, 284 Conn. 916 (2007). Whenever the facts and evidence presented require that causation be determined by the jury, the additional sections should be included as appropriate.
For discussions of the law of proximate cause, see State v. Munoz, 233 Conn. 106, 114-27 (1995); State v. Wassil, 233 Conn. 174, 181-82 (1995); State v. Leroy, 232 Conn. 1 (1995); State v. Boles, 223 Conn. 535, 540-42 (1992); State v. Spates, 176 Conn. 227, 233-35 (1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 922, 99 S. Ct. 1248, 59 L. Ed. 2d 475 (1979).
"[A] jury instruction with respect to proximate cause must contain, at a minimum, the following elements: (1) an indication that the defendant's conduct must contribute substantially and materially, in a direct manner, to the victim's injuries; and (2) an indication that the defendant's conduct cannot have been superseded by an efficient, intervening cause that produced the injuries." State v. Leroy, supra, 232 Conn. 13; see also State v. Griffin, 251 Conn. 671, 712-16 (1999); State v. Hannon, 56 Conn. App. 581, 591 (2000), cert. denied, 274 Conn. 911 (2005).Intervening cause
For a discussion of the doctrine of efficient, intervening cause, see State v. Munoz, 233 Conn. 106, 124-27 (1995). The court in Munoz also stated that a third party's conduct in inflicting an additional stab wound might be so significant that it amounts to an efficient, intervening cause. Id., 122. The court has now disavowed this statement because it is contrary to the doctrine of proximate cause in criminal cases that every person be held responsible for the consequences of his or her acts, regardless of other causes that contributed to produce the result. State v. Shabazz, 246 Conn. 746, 754 n.5 (1998), cert. denied, 525 U.S. 1179, 119 S. Ct. 1116, 143 L. Ed. 2d 111 (1999). The court has also emphasized that Munoz "rested primarily on the fact that the jury reasonably could have inferred from the evidence that the intervening criminal conduct was the sole proximate cause of the victim's death." (Emphasis in original.) Id., 755.
An instruction regarding an efficient, intervening cause is not always required. State v. Munoz, supra, 233 Conn. 121 n.8. The need for such an instruction "arises in those cases in which the evidence could support a finding by the jury that the defendant's conduct was overcome by an efficient, intervening cause, or in which the evidence regarding proximate causation was such that, based on the doctrine of efficient, intervening cause, the jury could have a reasonable doubt about the defendant's guilt. Thus, in the general run of cases, in which the evidence is susceptible of a finding of only one cause of harm contemplated by the statute, a statement in the jury instruction referring to an efficient, intervening cause might well be unnecessary." Id. See also State v. Delgado, 50 Conn. App. 159, 173 (1998) (insufficient evidence that actions of emergency medical personnel may have been a sufficient intervening cause); State v. Guess, 44 Conn. App. 790, 798 (1997), aff'd, 244 Conn. 761 (1998) (victim's family's decision to terminate life support was not intervening cause).Inconsistent with accessorial liability
When two parties act in concert, it is immaterial which of the two accomplices inflict the fatal blow. If one of them is charged only as an accomplice, that person cannot claim that the acts of the principal were an intervening cause relieving him or her of liability. State v. Fruean, 63 Conn. App. 466, 475, cert. denied, 257 Conn. 908 (2001) (court properly refused defendant's request to instruct on proximate cause and intervening cause).

Quite a few folks have been asking me about what kind of wine to have not only with cuisine, but what kind of wine to consume during this continued hot weather. Traditionally, red wines have taken a back seat to white wines and ros� wines, and the trend continues. The obvious reason this is true is because the type of cuisine one tends to prepare during warm to hot temperature periods are not typically heavy meals. Gardens are flush with produce and this is the season we see cool, fresh salads and lighter fare on the grill. Let's look at wine choices for this lighter fare:
Salads — If there is a downer for serving wine with salads, it is vinegar. Vinegar acidifies the taste of wine and sharpens the experience with volatile acidity which can ruin a good glass of any wine. Balsamic vinegars are sweet and, again, can alter the taste of wines to a very large degree. The key to the use of vinegar is to be moderate and use the ingredient sparingly. Vinegar can also be aged in wood, which adds its own distinctive style to salads. It may deter the freshness of the salad as well as the distinctness of the wine served. Read the labels carefully before choosing vinegar as some of the offerings can be very cheap, harsh and unpleasant, and can ruin an otherwise fun wine experience.
Oils — Olive oil is one of the Earth's true blessings. Many years ago I attended an olive oil tasting in Parma, Italy, and was astounded by the range and depth found in olive oil produced within Italy. I am truly not an expert in olive oil but the fact remains that the "flavored" oils; that is, oils which are herbed or scented, can cause a real problem with wine pairing. My very Italian mother, who was a tremendous chef, used to shake her head at these "new" products and wondered what the problem was in adding herbs or spices when needed instead of having these "things" (she used to call them) added to oil. The problem is, of course, there is very little control between the need for oil and whatever herb is introduced in solution; the more oil needed to do the job means the more influence of the herb in the cuisine, which affects wine appreciation.
Salt — In today's world, we are looking at salt differently. There are low-sodium dressings in abundance and many of us, especially as we age, are asked to cut down on sodium intake. Salt, in excess, interferes in the appreciation of wine. Salt also, in amazingly small amounts, influences cuisine in a major way and can put a meal off very quickly. Anchovies added to salads can interfere with wine appreciation as they are intense in flavor and usually dripping in brine. This is also true of many kinds of olives; the sodium content can be very high which, again, interferes with the appreciation of wine.
Heat — Piquant salads, with the use of cracked or whole peppers, can blow the palate off the map and destroy the tasting ability of the diner. Small amounts of paprika, white or black pepper work well but anything hotter can be damaging to the sensitivity of the palate. Salads tossed with Indian or Asian spices should be carefully monitored, especially if a delicate white wine is served.
Think fresh and minimalist when building salads for an entr�e and remember that croutons, crackers and many artisan breads can also be herbed and highly salted as well as heavy and thick which, again, will influence greatly the appreciation of wine.

Vaginitis refers to disorders of the vagina caused by infection, inflammation, or changes in the normal vaginal flora. Symptoms include vaginal discharge, odor, itching, and/or discomfort. The three most common diseases diagnosed among women with these symptoms include bacterial vaginosis (40-45 percent), vulvovaginal candidiasis (20-25 percent), and trichomoniasis (15-20 percent). In some cases, there may be more than one disease present. Recurrent vaginitis is also common.
Research is under way to determine the factors that promote the growth and disease-causing potential of vaginal microbes and their role in vaginitis. These microbes include the sexually transmitted pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida species, and microbes associated with bacterial vaginosis, such as Gardnerella vaginalis.
NIAID-supported research has led to advances in knowledge about the normal microflora of the vagina, reproductive behavior of yeast, and the genetic code of T. vaginalis. For example, researchers have discovered an association between certain lactobacilli species in the normal microflora in the vagina and protection from bacterial vaginosis (BV). They are investigating a lactobacillus vaginal suppository aimed to help these beneficial bacteria grow in the vagina. Researchers also are studying the use of combination treatment with vaginal lactobacilli suppositories and oral medication to treat BV and prevent its recurrence.
Other NIAID-funded researchers have sequenced the genome of T. vaginalis. Understanding the genome of this pathogen will help researchers understand how it evolves, spreads, and causes disease. T. vaginalis is particularly interesting to medical researchers because it increases both transmission and acquisition of HIV among women. Additionally, both T. vaginalis and BV are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. Knowledge gained from ongoing research could help improve efforts to treat and prevent vaginitis and also prevent its potential complications.
