Hey there,
Welcome to the staryards forums. I've always wanted a place where visitors could ask questions and get more specific info, and since I'm revamping the Staryards I thought this'd be a great time to do it.
Please bear with me, the forums are very new and I'm setting it up as I go along. There's quite a bit of work in the background to get it to have the same "look" as the staryards website, and the forums and categories are just starters for now.
Best regards,
- Cleeve

Against a cacophony of police choppers overhead, sirens in the distance and jabbering TV reporters, Noah Mitchell sat outside Oakland's Kaiser Center on Thursday at lunchtime, filled with both anger and sorrow for the town he has always called home.
"I love Oakland," he said, as the streets around him teemed with outrage over the New Year's Day shooting by a BART police officer of an unarmed man. "But it's a troubled place. And I feel like this city won't change for a long, long time."
Inside, the BART board of directors sat like a punching bag for a community tirade against perceived police brutality. It was a reaction borne of embers reignited by the incident at the Fruitvale BART station, now churning endlessly through the YouTube portal of eyewitness news.
But for Mitchell and others, either those protesting in the streets or supporters cheering them on from their living rooms, the true import of this moment transcends a tragic incident on a train-station platform. Mitchell is barely in his 20s, born and raised in an epicenter of America's racial struggles, part African-American, and just black enough to know what it feels like to really love-hate Oakland.
"I once got pulled through the window of my car by an Oakland police officer," he said in a soft, meek voice. "Ever since, every time I see a police officer, I'm scared it'll happen again. But it's more than that. It's the everyday rudeness, like when I ask for directions, they joke it off, laugh at me, and walk on."
The lingering protests and scattered nighttime violence downtown this week surprised a lot of people, as if the bold response seemed out of sync with the shooting. But even though the victim was from Hayward, and the incident took place on BART property and involved BART police, the story line for many has moved on — to Oakland.
"It's an accident of geography that the riots took place here and that the focus is now on Oakland," said Steven Lavoie, longtime city observer and librarian at the Oakland History Room at the main library. "The problems between law enforcement and minority communities are not unique to Oakland. But because of our large minority population, these issues come to a head here.
"Oakland," he said, "is the venue for much larger social problems. And I don't think the people of the privileged class, of which I'm probably a member, understand the impact of injustice in this community."
The theme of justice came up again and again at the BART board meeting. Looking stunned by the barrage of criticism, the mostly white-male board found itself the lightning rod for a homegrown bitterness 60 years in the making.
"I hope you hear what the community is saying to you," said Ken Nelson, a local leader of the NAACP, one of several speakers calling for a state investigation into the shooting, and imploring the board to improve officer training. "You can't be quiet anymore. This must be corrected immediately, or we'll continue to have flare-ups. Your silence means approval. Please do not continue to remain silent."
Nelson was asking the board to speak out, but he could have been addressing each of the 400,000 people who call "Oaktown" home. Oakland is and always has been a bifurcated place, with wealthier and whiter residents in the hills, poorer people of color in the flatlands, and each group able to spend entire lifetimes largely confined to one area or the other.
As a crowd of people waited outside the front doors, locked by security officers because the conference room was already packed, local businessman Frank Tucker implored the BART board to seize the moment.
"Right now, you've got people down there trying to break down the doors to speak to you today, and nothing's being done to let them inside," said Tucker, a board member of the city's African-American Chamber of Commerce. "This is a metaphor of what's been happening on a larger scale in Oakland for years."
Historian Lavoie said you can trace the history of troubled relations between Oakland minorities and police to the 1950s, when the lure of post-World War II jobs brought African-Americans from the South, as well as white Southerners, many of whom would put on uniform and badge.
"The tension that resulted had a lot to do with who was hired, because a lot of the people from the South brought attitudes with them," he said. "Blacks, but also whites not willing to be as tolerant as Oakland historically had been."
Lavoie says relations between police and minorities have dramatically improved since the 1960s, when the Black Panthers formed to patrol the streets, ostensibly to police the police. Despite this week's flare of street violence, "what you should look at is how police responded Wednesday night, versus how they went after peace marchers in the '60s. There's a huge difference."
And BART spokesman Linton Johnson, an African-American who said his own aunt had been roughed up by a Los Angeles cop years ago, defended the agency's police force.
"They care about the public and they've done a wonderful job keeping BART safe for everyone," he said. "There have been only five officer-involved shootings resulting in injury or death in BART's 36 years. The officers do a hell of a job protecting the public."
Yet many still see police as intimidating. Oakland native and college student Tahirah Rasheed waved a "Stop police brutality" placard outside the board meeting, saying "the police are modern-day slave patrollers." She's seen the homemade videos of the shooting, which apparently show officer Johannes Mehserle firing his weapon at 22-year-old Oscar Grant III as he lay facedown on the platform. She says she doesn't need to see anything else.
Those videos, which have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, are a study in chaos, as the shooting unfolds in front of dozens of train passengers returning home after New Year's Eve celebrations.
Responding to reports of young men fighting on a train, BART police arrived shortly after midnight, taking Grant and several others off the train for questioning. The images show Grant pushed onto his stomach shortly before Mehserle fired his gun at Grant's back. The bullet ricocheted off the pavement and pierced his lung.
Fueled by the footage, a debate has raged over whether the officer knowingly shot Grant, as the victim's family alleges, or may have tragically mistaken his handgun for a stun gun.
But those arguments now seem lost on Rasheed and others who see the incident as part of something much bigger, no matter how much some people feel police relations with Oakland's minorities may have improved over the years.
"This shooting,'' said Rasheed, "is the culmination of decades of'' bad relations between police and citizens. "That BART officer should be arrested and in jail, just like anyone else who shoots somebody.''
Then, like her fellow Oakland native Noah Mitchell, Rasheed starts talking not about the young man killed at the Fruitvale BART station, but about seeing her older brother mistreated by a police officer when she was about 6 years old.
That was 16 years ago. But today, she says, it seems like yesterday.

The Iliad
by Homer
The Iliad Pride Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Book.Line). We used Richmond Lattimore's translation.
Quote #1
Still I am willing to give her back, if such is the best way.
I myself desire that my people be safe, not perish.
Find me then some prize that shall be my own, lest I only
among the Argives go without, since that were unfitting. (1.116-119)
This is what gets the ball rolling: the pride of Agamemnon. Do you think there is any legitimacy to what he's saying here, or should he just put up and shut up?
Quote #2
And now my prize you threaten in person to strip from me,
for whom I labored much, the gift of the sons of the Achaians.
Never, when the Achaians sack some well-founded citadel
of the Trojans, do I have a prize that is equal to your prize. […]
Now I am returning to Phthia, since it is much better
to go home again with my curved ships, and I am minded no longer
to stay here dishonoured and pile up your wealth and your luxury. (1.161-164, 169-171)
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction – except in the case of Achilleus, where the reaction is unequal and vastly more destructive than the original action. All the same, don't you think Achilleus has a bit of a point here? If he's doing all the work, how come Agamemnon gets to take all the credit? Don't you think that would make you a bit angry?
Quote #3
What is this word that broke through the fence of your teeth, Atreides?
How can you say that, when we Achaians waken the bitter
war god on Trojans, breakers of horses, I hang back from
fighting? Only watch, if you care to and if it concerns you,
the very father of Telemachos locked with the champion
Trojans, breakers of horses. Your talk is wind, and no meaning. (4.350-355)
This is Odysseus reacting to Agamemnon's calling him a slacker at fighting. If you were in his sandals, you'd probably say the same thing, wouldn't you? If so, then you too would fall into Agamemnon's trap. For all Odysseus's cleverness, he doesn't see that Agamemnon is just teasing him to get him to try harder. Have you ever played that sort of trick on someone?

For those of you who haven't been paying great attention, the sequester spending cuts are coming up.
These were spending cuts designed in Washington to be so egregious that their mere appearance on the calendar would get our leaders to agree on long-term solutions for our fiscal problems. The cuts were scheduled to go into effect on January first of this year. How did that work out?
Instead of presenting a looming deadline, Congress being Congress, simply passed a new law to delay the cuts two months. Now debate ensues on how to delay them once again and we are all of sudden talking about the ax rather than the chicken.
Instead of discussing our dire fiscal woes - so eloquently outlined in Barron's this past weekend - we are discussing how we can avoid such a ridiculous austerity measure...without addressing our real problems!
I'm often asked, "When will you feel more confident about the economy?" My answer: "When we see real collaboration in Washington." Until then, don't expect the private sector economy to take off.

The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd
of September. By this time, most countries had recognized the reforma-
tion (although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.)
Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the
calendar for that month is a bit unusual.

This week kicks off Governor Jerry Brown's first official trade and investment mission to China in more than 10 years. Kristen Durham and I are proud to represent SVB's Global Gateway and join the delegation of 75 business, economic development and policy leaders organized by the Bay Area Council. Many of our tech and life science clients do business globally from the start and are looking for ways to work across borders more efficiently and effectively. As participants in the mission, we'll have an opportunity to represent our clients' perspectives and experiences in our meetings with Chinese government and business leaders in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Kristen and I are also looking forward to the opening of the California Trade and Investment Office on April 12 in Shanghai's Yangpu District. The Yangpu District is the center of Shanghai's vibrant technology community and many firms have offices in the district, including the Bay Area Council and SVB. In 2005 we opened our first subsidiary in Shanghai to provide advice to U.S. clients looking to expand into China, and to assist local tech companies and VCs with in-market client service support and advisory services. We later opened another subsidiary in Yangpu that manages two local renminbi (RMB) funds for the Yangpu District. SPD Silicon Valley Bank, SVB's joint-venture bank with the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, is also located in the Yangpu District and opened in 2012. Ken Wilcox, of SPD Silicon Valley Bank, Chairman of Silicon Valley Bank, and a member of Governor Brown's Trade and Investment Advisory Board will join us at the California Trade and Investment Office opening and we're looking forward to his remarks on investing in California and accessing the Chinese market.
We have had the great opportunity to work with the government, investors and Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs to support and help stimulate the local innovation economy through our various roles over the last several years. It is an exciting time to be in China.This mission promises to be busy and we're looking forward to meeting U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke during our stay in Beijing, connecting with our fellow delegates, and discussing how to encourage more collaboration, investment and trade between California and China. Connect with us on Twitter (@SVB_Financial and @ahtsao) and Facebook for pictures and details of the trip.

Since the drafting of Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill in 2009, considerable attention has been paid both in Uganda and across the African continent to the political and social significance of homosexual behaviour and identity. However, current debates have not adequately explained how and why anti-homosexual rhetoric has been able to gain such popular purchase within Uganda. In order to move beyond reductive representations of an innate African homophobia, we argue that it is necessary to recognise the deep imbrication of sexuality, family life, procreation and material exchange in Uganda, as well as the ways in which elite actors (including government officials, the media and religious leaders) are able to manipulate social anxieties to further particular ends. We employ a discourse analysis of reporting in the state-owned newspaper New Vision, first considering how the issue of homosexuality has been represented in relation to wider discourses regarding threats to public morality and national sovereignty. Then, through fieldwork undertaken in Uganda in 2009, we explore three key themes that offer deeper insights into the seeming resonance of this popular rhetoric about homosexuality: constructions of the family, the nature of societal morality, and understandings about reciprocity and material exchange in contemporary Ugandan society.

Sleep ~ Wake Center
Sleep Disorders
There are more than 50 sleep disorders classified by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). A sleep disorder impacts a person's daily life severely. More common sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy and restless leg syndrome.
Symptoms of Sleep Disorders
Common complaints of patients who have a sleep disturbance can include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Chronic daytime fatigue not explained by any other medical condition
- Difficulty waking up on time
- Disruptive sleep (snoring, gasping or breath holding)
- Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep (insomnia)
- Falling asleep too early
- Unwanted behaviors arising out of sleep
Each of these symptoms can be connected by a sleep specialist to a particular disorder. This is why a sleep specialist may want to have you sleep overnight in the facility or may give you equipment to test yourself at home.
When you feel that you cannot fall asleep or stay asleep, it is called insomnia. You may have one or more of these things happen to you while trying to sleep:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking up frequently during the night with difficulty returning to sleep
- Waking up too early in the morning
- Non-refreshing sleep and daytime fatigue
Insomnia is classified by figuring out how often you experience it. Here is a list of these classifications:
- Transient or short term insomnia where symptoms may last from a single night to a few weeks
- Intermittent insomnia where episodes occur from time to time
- Chronic insomnia where it occurs most nights and lasts for a month or more
There are many different things that can contribute to insomnia. These can include the following:
- Stress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Physical illness
- Irregular schedules
- Caffeine consumption
- Circadian rhythm disorders
- Drugs
- Pain
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Some people also may not realize they are having insomnia, or their sleeping disorder may be something else entirely.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a very serious and sometimes life-threatening condition. It occurs in all age groups and both genders and can be divided into two different types:
- Central apnea, which happens when the nervous center either does not send signals to breathe or the signals aren't conducted to the muscles responsible for breathing. Central sleep apnea is not as common as obstructive sleep apnea.
- Obstructive apnea (or OSA) happens when the tongue or soft tissues in the back of the throat block the airway. This blockage causes little or no airflow into the lungs and occurs even though your body continues to try to breathe.
There are many factors that lead to sleep apnea. Here is a list of these factors:
- Family history
- Physical abnormality in the nose, throat or other parts of the upper airway
- Body weight
- Medical/health problems
- Medication use
- Alcohol use
- Age
- Altitude of your home
- Irregular heartbeat
- High blood pressure
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Excessive sleepiness leading to auto accidents
- Obesity
- Diabetes
If you have any of the conditions listed above, it is a good idea to pay careful attention to your sleeping patterns. You, working together with your sleep specialist, can determine the best treatment for your sleep apnea.
Narcolepsy is a chronic, neurological sleep disorder with no known cause that involves the body's central nervous system. It is a genetic disorder where a part of the brain called the hypothalamus is not producing enough of the neuropeptide orexin.
The main characteristic of narcolepsy is overwhelming daytime sleepiness, even after adequate nighttime sleep. A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep at inappropriate times and places, and these sleep attacks may occur with or without warning. They can also occur repeatedly in a single day, the person may be drowsy for long periods of time and they may wake frequently during their nighttime sleep.
Each individual may experience narcolepsy differently, but these are the most common symptoms:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) when an individual has an overwhelming desire to sleep at inappropriate times
- Cataplexy, which is a sudden loss of muscle control ranging from slight weakness to total collapse
- Sleep paralysis where the individual is unable to talk or move for about one minute when falling asleep or waking up
- Hypnagogic hallucinations, which are vivid and often scary dreams and sounds that the individual has when falling asleep
Secondary or other symptoms include:
- Automatic behavior, where the individual performs routine tasks without being aware that they are doing so and often without memory of it
- Disrupted nighttime sleep, which can include multiple arousals
An individual may have difficulty coping and can experience these symptoms:
- Feelings of intense fatigue and continual lack of energy
- Depression
- Difficulty concentrating and memorizing
- Vision problems (focusing)
- Eating binges
- Weak limbs
- Difficulties handling alcohol
Narcolepsy is diagnosed most often by symptoms of EDS or cataplexy. In addition to these symptoms, a specialist will want a complete medical history from you and to conduct a physical examination as well as laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis. The specialist may use these tests:
- Overnight polysomnogram (PSG), which is a sleep test to monitor various parameters during an entire night of sleep
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), which measures sleep onset and how quickly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurs
- Genetic blood test, which is used to test for a genetic mutation often found in people who have a predisposition to narcolepsy
Treatments for narcolepsy can include the following methods:
- Medications: excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy are treated separately, with central nervous system stimulants usually prescribed for EDS and antidepressants for cataplexy.
- Nap therapy: two or three short naps during the day may help control sleepiness and maintain alertness.
- Proper diet
- Regular exercise
- Behavioral therapy
The goal of narcolepsy treatment is for the patient to remain as alert as possible during the day and not have any recurring episodes of cataplexy, while using a minimal amount of medication. You and your specialist will determine the best possible method or combination of methods to treat your disorder.
Restless Leg Syndrome
People can experience restless leg syndrome (RLS) in different ways; however, all patients describe very unpleasant "creepy-crawly" (or even painful) sensations that occur in the legs when they are sitting or lying still, especially at bedtime. Although it affects mostly the legs, RLS can also affect the arms. It is not related to emotional or psychological disorders.
Restless leg syndrome, which appears most often in the calves of the legs, can be temporarily relieved by stretching or moving the limb where you are experiencing the sensation. But, the constant need to stretch or move the limbs to relieve the sensations can keep a person from falling asleep. Because of this, a person with RLS might be very tired during the day and unable to work or perform tasks well. Their social activities may be affected due to the excessive fatigue. RLS may also impact how long they can sit still at the movies, at a concert, in business meetings or travel by plane or car. Five to 10 people of every one hundred experience RLS at some point in their lives. Restless leg syndrome is more common in older individuals but may occur at any age. It can be severe during pregnancy, especially the last six months. RLS may come and go without any obvious cause over the course of a person's life.
The cause of RLS is not known but there are some related conditions. About 30 percent of restless legs cases appear to be hereditary. Other related situations might include the following:
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Antidepressants
- Nerve problems
- Disorders of the kidneys
- Alcoholism
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies
- Consumption of caffeine
- Fatigue
- Sleep deprivation
A visit with a sleep specialist can help determine if you have restless leg syndrome. Here are also home remedies that have worked for some people:
- Hot bathes
- Massages
- Pain relievers
- Ice or hot packs

Earthquake repairs have started on Lyttelton Harbour roads and Dyers Pass Road to secure key Christchurch transport routes.
The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT), charged with rebuilding the city's earthquake-damaged roads, fresh water, wastewater and stormwater networks, has today revealed key sites to undergo work.
City Care, as part of SCIRT, is undertaking the repairs of earthquake damaged roads and footpaths on sections of Dyers Pass Road (from Colombo Street to Governors Bay) and along the inner harbour road from Lyttelton West to Teddington.
SCIRT general manager Duncan Gibb said: "The earthquakes have put pressure on transport routes between the inner harbour and the city, so it is important that the Dyers Pass link is in good repair."
Work will only include 'pockets' or small sections of repair work in these areas, which are due to finish in a section of Governors Bay Road and Teddington Road in late April.
Mr Gibb said: "This is a project which covers a large geographical area and we will be using different types of communication to keep the various inner harbour communities up to date with the progress.
"Work notices which include maps of the upcoming worksites are an important tool and we've already delivered these to around 350 houses."
The nature of the inner harbour means that some sections of the road contain blind corners and tight bends and SCIRT has emphasised a focus on safety.
"Our workers are well trained but they are not bulletproof and we want them to get home safely to their families," Mr Gibb says.
"To ensure the safety of our many workers and all road users, we rely on everyone following the onsite traffic management including adhering to the 30kph speed limit through the worksites."

Sustainability is not just about implementing Earth-friendly practices at the Exchange; it's also about promoting those practices at its 3,100 retail and fast-food facilities and among its 12.2 million authorized customers.
Actions towards fulfilling their sustainability goals have earned the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, known as The Exchange, the Sustainability Team award in the Secretary of the Army Environmental Awards Program for fiscal year 2010.
The Exchange's dual missions are to provide quality merchandise and services to authorized customers at uniform low prices, and to generate earnings to support U.S. Army and Air Force Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs. Its goal is to build a culture of loyalty, ownership, sustainability and continuous improvement.
Similar to the triple bottom line in the Army's Strategy for the Environment, the Exchange identifies "People - Planet - Benefit" as their focus. Profits gained through this approach support the MWR programs benefiting Soldiers and their families at hundreds of Army installations and remote locations around the world.
Reducing energy by requiring energy efficient equipment; reducing waste through a corporate-wide "Trash-4-Cash" recycling program; requiring all new construction to be silver certifiable by U.S. Green Building Council standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; and modifying their logistics fleet to be more eco-friendly and, in-turn, decreasing petroleum-based product usage are a few of the actions the Exchange has taken that have netted them significant cost savings. Those savings directly translate to additional services for Soldiers and Families.
Exchange leadership emphasizes its sustainability vision and goals through worldwide distribution of information products that publicize how the company, its associates and its customers impact the environment.
"To encourage Earth-friendly initiatives, the Exchange established a sustainability awards program to recognize superior sustainability performance," said Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella, commander of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. "Reducing energy, water consumption and waste generation is a win-win situation for all, making partnerships between the Exchange and installations crucial.
This month we recognized the Exchange at Joint Base Lewis-McChord as our most Sustainable CONUS Exchange for 2010. They are a great example of serving our customer, conserving energy and being environmental leaders in the military community."
However, what truly impressed the environmental awards judges was how the Exchange is sharing the actions and successes that demonstrate their commitment with franchisees, customers and others.
By collaborating with their franchise partners, the Exchange is able to have a major influence on the food industry worldwide. Installing batch broilers at Burger King, implementing dry lines at Taco Bell restaurants to prepare food without electrically heated steam, energy-efficient ovens at Anthony's Pizza; menu boards that use light emitting diode, more commonly called LED, technology at Charley's Grilled Subs; making energy-efficient equipment standard at Exchange facilities, and promoting the same with food service equipment, makes a huge impact on the environment. It also was part of the reason they won the 2010 Federal Energy and Water Management Award, in addition to the Secretary of the Army's award.
The Exchange also uses Energy Star equipment in its facilities and promotes the sale of energy-efficient appliances, electronics, lighting and home supplies to military shoppers worldwide.
Print advertisements and brochures, coupon books, catalogs, and signage produced by the Exchange's marketing directorate are used to get the sustainability message out and remind its shoppers to use Earth-friendly products and practice Earth-friendly recycling. Exchange facilities also provide cash incentives for the use of recycled and reusable "Green to Go" canvas shopping bags.
The Exchange leadership's willingness to participate in numerous pilot projects testing new technologies also is recognized by the Secretary of the Army Environmental Award.
One pilot test, which began with replacing high-intensity discharge lighting on gas pump canopies with LED technology resulted in 46 gas canopy LED retrofits at Army installations. The lights are 75 percent more efficient, last up to 10 times longer, payback in 3-5 years, and as an unexpected benefit, have improved product marketing and security, while reducing nighttime sky pollution. As a follow-on pilot program, the Exchange is replacing fluorescent lights in reach-in coolers with LED technology and installing occupancy sensors.
Exchange leadership has demonstrated their commitment to positive stewardship in relation to environmentally-friendly practices and tasked their subordinates to surpass sustainability goals by incorporating sustainability actions and objectives into normal business practices.
"Just as the Exchange is committed to providing the best shopping experience for our military customers, we are determined to set the standard for exceptional environmental stewardship in the military retail community," said Mr. Michael Howard, chief operating officer of the Exchange.
The Exchange continues to participate in pilot projects such as the USGBC's LEED for Retail program, in which they helped develop standards for retail facilities, an energy management and control system for a convenience store at Ft. Hood, and offices and restaurant trial of new energy efficient equipment. Potentially, equipment will control and monitor lighting; heating, ventilation and air conditions equipment; exhaust fans; refrigeration equipment; and food preparation equipment.
The simple changes being made by the Exchange have a big impact when implementing those changes across a large corporation. Installing 154 automatic faucets in restrooms reduces water usage by 70 percent compared to traditional fixtures. Selling used cooking oil and grease from 290 Army installation food facilities removes 2 million pounds of vegetable oil from the waste stream and recycles it into valuable resources such as animal feed. Changing to automatic paper towel dispensers that enable adjustment for sheet length, time delay and one-at-a-time towel dispensing along with installing compact tissues with no cores, wrappers, or corrugated cases, reduces manufacturing and shipping fuels, and decreases landfill waste by an estimated 363,000 pounds per year.
The Exchange's across-the-board commitment to sustainability and implementation of innovative techniques and technologies has made them a winner in the Secretary of the Army Environmental Awards Program and positions them to successfully represent the Army in the Secretary of Defense Environmental Award competition later this year.

Privacy Rights Clearinghouse
You May be Eligible for a Refund
The FTC this week announced a lawsuit and simultaneous settlement with Consumerinfo.com, a subsidiary of the credit bureau Experian, and freecreditreport.com, companies that advertise free credit reports. The FTC charged the companies with "deceptive and misleading" claims. www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/08/consumerinfo.htm [1]
How consumers were deceived. Consumerinfo.com and freecreditreport.com advertised "free credit reports," but failed to inform consumers that they were automatically signing up for credit report monitoring services and would be charged $79.95 if they did not cancel within 30 days. The FTC also charged that the web site freecreditreport.com failed to inform consumers that it was not associated with the official annual free credit report program established by recent amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Consumers were drawn to Consumerinfo.com and freecreditreport.com web sites through radio, television, e-mail and Internet ads promising free credit reports and free monitoring services. In some cases, consumers were led to the sites through an Internet search for terms such as "free credit report," "free credit score," and "free credit history." Consumers who visited the sites were required to supply a great deal of personal information in addition to a valid credit card number. When membership was not cancelled within 30 days, credit card accounts were charged.
How to obtain your refund. As part of the settlement, some consumers are entitled to a refund or automatic credit. This depends on several factors, primarily when you ordered your free report. You should receive notice of your eligibility for a refund from Consumerinfo. For more on eligibility for refunds as well as information on how to contact this company, see www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/freereports/consumerinfo_faqs.pdf
[2] You can also call a consumer hotline -- (202) 326-3457-- for information on refunds.
How to order your free credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows consumers to get one free credit report from each of the three national credit bureaus - Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion -- every 12 months. However, the only official web site for ordering free reports is www.annualcreditreport.com [3]. Free annual reports may also be ordered by phone at 877-322-8228, or by mail addressed to: Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. Offers for free credit reports from any other source may be a scam.
"Call, Don't Click." A recent report by the World Privacy Forum warned of the dangers of impostor web sites, recommending that free reports be ordered by telephone or mail. See www.privacyrights.org/media/calldontclickupdate.htm [4] for additional tips for ordering your free reports. See also www.worldprivacyforum.org [5] and read the report "Call, Don't Click."
Additional FTC actions. In addition to the recent lawsuit, the FTC has now sent warning letters to more than 130 impostor web sites. The FTC's warning letter is available at: www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/08/consumerinfoletter.pdf [6]
Tips for consumers. With so many impostor sites operating, it is easy to be fooled. If you want to order online, the best advice is to type in the URL for the official site or link to the site through the FTC's publication on free reports. www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/credit/ycr_free_reports.htm [7].
If you are uncertain that the site you are on is the "official" web site, here are some tips.
The official web site will not:
- Ask for a credit card number.
- Make ordering your free credit report contingent on the purchase of other products like a credit scores or monitoring services.
- Send you an unsolicited e-mail advertising a free credit report.
- Advertise on television on through pop-up ads.
The FTC asks that any unsolicited e-mail for free credit reports be forwarded to firstname.lastname@example.com [8].
Or, you can file a complaint with the FTC at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01 [9]

How to Fix the Different Types of Faucets
In some places, the sound of dripping water is a form of torture, and that translates to sleepless nights at home when the faucets begin to leak. Leaky faucets not only cause a loss of sleep, they also cause a loss of income as the dollars go down the same drain as the water.
Leaky faucets are not a difficult problem to solve for amateur do-it-yourselfers if they have a little know-how and follow some simple steps. Faucets may have numerous parts, but their mechanisms are fairly simple.
Before attempting any repairs to a sink, there are a few precautions that should be followed to make sure everything goes smoothly. First, shut off the water to the sink by turning the valve under the sink. Cover the sink drain as the parts for the faucet are small and can fall down the drain.
Any tools used to grab the sink parts, like a wrench, should be wrapped in duct tape to make sure they don't scratch the faucet. A chrome faucet or even more exotic metal can be ruined with a slip of a wrench. Create a space to place all parts after removal, this keeps parts from getting lost or knocked over during repairs.
Determine the Faucet Type
There are four types of faucets on the market: compression, cartridge, ceramic disk and ball. Compression faucets use rubber washers as seals for the water, and make up the bulk of the faucets on the market.
Ball faucets have a single handle and a rotating ball that controls the amount of hot and cold water that comes through the faucet. A cartridge faucet uses a small plastic cartridge to control the water. A ceramic disk faucet has a similar look to a cartridge faucet, but uses a ceramic cylinder and seals.
Compression Faucet
If the bathroom has a compression faucet and it is leaking, then the problem is with the O-ring washers. Remove the decorative handle cover, and remove the screw that connects the handle. Remove the handle and unscrew the packing nut to get to the main stem. After removing the stem, take out the washer and replace it with a new one.
The new washer must be covered in plumber's grease to insure a proper seal. Replace the washer and reassemble the compression faucet.
Ball Faucet
The ball faucet has several small parts that must fit together perfectly to create a proper seal. Rather than dealing with the individual parts, it is more efficient to simply replace it with a new replacement kit. The kit doesn't replace the outer faucet, just the inner parts.
Remove the handle screw and take off the handle. Pliers are best used to take out the cap and collar, but the next step is tricky. The replacement kit should include a special tool designed specifically for the main faucet cam. The cam has the washer and rotating ball. Needle nose pliers are best for taking out the other seals and springs under the ball. The final step is to remove the O-rings.
Replace the parts in the reverse order, making sure to cover the O-rings in plumber's grease.
Cartridge Faucet
A Cartridge faucet has a cap on the handle that needs to be pried off, which allows the handle to be removed. The cartridge is the leak problem, and can simply be pulled out of the handle. Due to the cartridge length of various models being different, when going to the hardware store for a replacement, either take the model number of the faucet or the actual cartridge and match up the length. Pop in the new cartridge and replace the parts in the reverse order of taking them out.
Ceramic Disk Faucets
Push back the handle to show the main screw. Remove the screw and take out the handle and cap. There is a ceramic cylinder with three mounting screws. Remove the screws and take out the cylinder. There are three seals under the cylinder that should be removed. Clean the cylinder with distilled vinegar and a scouring pad to remove any deposits.
Put in new seals and replace all the parts in reverse order. The ceramic cylinder is fragile, so slowly turn the water back on to prevent a sudden rush of water from damaging the cylinder.
Finishing Touches
With everything secure on the faucet, turn the water back on, and make sure water is flowing as it should be and the leak is fixed.

There is none. POSIX does not deign to dabble in such proletarian
matters... And if you think that POSIX makes your life better under
Windows I would be quite happy to sell you either a bridge, or some
water-front property.

The getaddrinfo() call is only for mapping names to ip
addresses/services, it neither knows, nor is ever likely to know
anything about MAC addresses.
Now, we have to ask - "Who's MAC address do you want?"
If you want the MAC address of an interface or interfaces on the
system on which this code is running, then some variation on the ioctl
theme will be in order, or if the system supports DLPI, you could use
DLPI methods (There is a DLPI manual for HP-UX on docs.hp.com
someplace). If not DLPI then it will be platform-specific as to what
you do, and I'll bet euros to berliners that on Windows it ain't an
If you want the MAC address of _another_ system then we are talking
about poking around the ARP cache (typically ioctls under *nix) on the
system on which this application is running, or this application
sending ARP requests and looking for the ARP replies.
However, just as with the famous Ginsu knife commercial, this method
will not always work with a tomato - if the other system is on the far
side of a router, there will either be no entry in the local system's
ARP cache, or if there is an entry, it will have the MAC address of
the router.
For that situation, you need some sort of network management call -
say a query of a suitable MIB on the remote system via SNMP.

Only fools think our attitude to our fellow men is a thing distinct from our attitude to 'lesser' life on this planet.
John Fowles (1926 -)
Contributed by: Zaady
The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them. He also is on the road to humility - that priceless attitude of openness to life that can help a manager absorb mistakes, failures or personal shortcomings.
John Adair (1757 - 1840)
People who think honestly and deeply have a hostile attitude towards the public.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.
Jim Rohn
Source: tape of meeting in Sacramento, CA, with Rich DeVos, Jay Van Andel & many others, c. 1979-1980. Tape was recorded privately and is in the public domain.
[He] seems to want it both ways: the freedom to hold and express beliefs, and immunity from criticism for those beliefs. This is the kind of attitude that leads inexorably to totalitarianism. It is to be decried, particularly in a university environment where the search for truth necessitates that no belief be treated as sacred or above scrutiny.
Jeffrey Shallit
Fate determines who comes into our lives Our attitude and actions determine who stays in our lives.
Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.
J. Donald Walters
This astonishing sense of spiritual attack which, it seems to me, must inevitably follow the continual reading of the four Gospels, without preconception but with an alert mind, is not the sole privilege of the translator. It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.
J. B. Phillips (1906 - 1982)
Source: New Testament Christianity
When Sufism was at loggerheads with the legalitarian Islam embodied by the doctors of the Law, known as the fuqaha', according to Henry Corbin: . . . Ibn 'Arabi made no secret of his disgust at their stupidity, ignorance, and depravity, and such an attitude was not calculated to win their favor. The tension rose, giving rise to denunciations and arrests; our shaikh was in mortal peril. At this critical moment the irreducible antagonism between the spiritual Islam of Sufism and legalitarian Islam became patent. Saved by the intervention of a friendly shaikh, Ibn 'Arabi had but one concern, to flee far from Cairo and its hateful, bigoted canonists. Where was he to seek refuge? He returned to Meca (1207).
Ibn al-'Arabi (1165 - 1240)

Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.

- Aug 26:
- Purdy: Stanford football wins with old-school offense
- College football preview: Pac-12 Conference
- College football preview: Mountain West Conference
- College football preview: Will Pac-12 be shut out of final four?
- College football preview: USC at Stanford a must-see matchup
- College football preview: Coaches on the hot seat
- College football preview: 2014 Heisman Trophy candidates
- Wilner: New NCAA football playoff a recipe for controversy
A point-by-point, not-so-quick explanation of the College Football Playoff.
The championship game, played on a Monday -- this year, it's Jan. 12 at Cowboys Stadium -- is not part of the rotation. It's a separate entity with a bid process all its own.
When a contracted bowl is hosting a semifinal, the league champ will be sent to one of the four other major bowls (unless it's involved in the playoff).
1. If the Pac-12 champ qualifies for the playoffs this season, it would be slotted into either the Rose or Sugar, depending on the placement of the seeds (1 vs 4, 2 vs 3).
2. If the Pac-12 champ doesn't qualify for the playoffs, it would be sent to the Fiesta, Cotton or Peach. (The Orange is locked up by contracts.)
3. Next year ... when the Rose Bowl isn't a semifinal host ... the Pac-12 champ will head to Pasadena, per usual, unless it qualifies for the playoff.
In that situation, the Rose could choose a replacement team from the Pac-12.
Note: There is no limit to the number of teams a conference can send to the New Year's Eve/New Year's Day games (so expect to see three or four from the SEC every year!).
Also note: The highest-ranked team from outside the Power Five leagues will also be eligible to participate in the semifinals or rotation bowls, with the location and opponent to be determined by the committee.
Speaking of ...
The first rankings will be released Oct. 28, then every subsequent Tuesday for five weeks.
The final rankings -- the ones that matter -- will be announced on Dec. 7, bowl selection day.
But you can be sure not everyone will agree with the committee's definition of "best."
Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin athletic director (and former coach)
Mike Gould, former Superintendent of Air Force Academy
Pat Haden, USC athletic director
Tom Jernstedt, former NCAA executive vice president
Jeff Long, Arkansas athletic director (committee chair)
Oliver Luck, West Virginia athletic director
Archie Manning, former Mississippi quarterback
Tom Osborne, former Nebraska coach and athletic director
Dan Radakovich, Clemson athletic director
Condoleezza Rice, Stanford professor
Mike Tranghese, former Big East commissioner
Steve Wieberg, former USA Today reporter
Tyrone Willingham, former Stanford, Notre Dame and Washington coach
Haden, for instance, must leave the room if USC is being discussed; the same goes for Rice when Stanford is on the table; or Manning with Ole Miss.
All told, nine of the 13 members will be subject to recusal. The four who aren't: Willingham, Wieberg, Tranghese and Jernstedt.

"Furnace Mountain Retreat Center" Clay City by Bacat
Clay City Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 3 photos
I have been interested in meditation since I was a teenager in Olympia, Washington, and I often spent time sitting in solitude near Capitol Lake. It was here that I was first deeply touched by death, when a seagull that I was feeding choked and died on a piece of bread. The other seagulls then spontaneously included me in their funeral procession which consisted of screeching and flying in circles high above their lost friend.
As the years wore on I have drifted into and out of zen meditation practice. I was first introduced to formal zen (group meditation practice) in Olympia, Washington at Olympia Zen Center.
From this point on my interest in zen began to crystallize. I became fascinated with koans, the famous zen riddles. A classic example is "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
This particular koan is often misunderstood because popular culture has taken ahold of it, but if one really tries to answer this question with sincerity it can be quite powerful.
I read "Two Arrows Meeting in Mid-Air" by John Daido Loori, and was thoroughly hooked on the idea of koan as a way to penetrate into the difficult mysteries of life.
I also learned from Eido-san, the abbot at Olympia Zen Center, that enlightenment is not manfiested any differently than delusion. She never spoke to me of this, but showed it to me through her example. I am intensely grateful for her resolute practice. She is a dragon!
As I moved to Panama City Beach, Florida, I explored other kinds of practice, but lost sight of zazen for many months. Sensing that I had lost a kind of guide in my life I chose to deepen my practice with a trip across the United States alone in a car.
I began with a 5 day personal retreat at Olympia Zen Center, which was followed by a visit to the Hearts Relics Tour, which is a traveling museum of priceless artifacts. The Hearts Relics Tour benefits the Maitreya Project.
I then drove down to Green Gulch Farm in Sausalito, California, where I was a guest resident for 7 days.
Afterwards, I skinny dipped in the Pacific Ocean at Muir Beach.
I continued driving and spent a lot of time in solitude as I crossed the United States to return to Panama City Beach, Florida. But something fundamental had shifted.
I moved to Galveston, Texas and began sitting with a small group organized by John Willke. After several months Dr. Cara Geary moved to Galveston and brought with her an opportunity.
She had been studying with Zen Master Dae Gak and Cincinnati Zen Center and offered to arrange for him to visit Galveston for a weekend retreat. We agreed and held our first retreat in October of 2003. Since then, our group has become Zen Island Fellowship and has hosted a weekend retreat with Dae Gak every six months.
In February of 2004, Cara helped me participate in a one month retreat at Furnace Mountain, near Clay City, Kentucky. The silent retreat was led by Zen Masters Bo Mun and Dae Gak, and consisted of 9 hours of sitting meditation daily for the month.
This retreat was a life changing experience. As my own struggle to understand genjokoan (the riddle of your entire life) became fierce, purple crocuses were unfolding for Spring. It was a beautiful and intense time to be on the Mountain, and one which I am deeply grateful for. I recommend visiting Furnace Mountain to anyone who is serious about approaching the difficult questions of life.
I have found some zen centers to be flashy, attractive zen. At Furnace Mountain I found something raw and tender, something which a person normally would not be attracted to. But I believe if a human being enters honestly into what it means to be human, that something beyond compare is found there. This is what some would call enlightenment, but it is really just realizing who you are at the core.
If anyone would like more information about Furnace Mountain, I am glad to be of help. I'm sorry I don't have more to say about Clay City. :)
- Pros:In the winter, the ice can make driving impossible. :)
- Cons:In the winter, the ice can make driving impossible.
- In a nutshell:Furnace Mountain- just up the hill from Clay City.

Swagga Talk
November 21st, 2007 by Dan Meyer
Alright, I'm an idiot for posting this, a link which is gonna appeal to a slim niche of dy/dan's already-niched readership.
Swagga Talk is a track off Cam'ron's new Public Enemy mixtape. It's profane, crude, misogynistic — standard issue Cam'ron — and, for any language enthusiasts undeterred by those descriptors, totally irresistible.
With assistance from Hell Rell and 40 Cal, Cam'ron rhymes up a comprehensive dissertation of New York's street slang.
I know you miss us.
We back New York.
You wanna talk like us
here goes some swagga talk.
It's authoritative. And awesome.
a kilo is a bird
500 grams is a half a wing
Snow cone on my finger
that's my ring.
Tweeties is yellow diamonds
smurfs is blue diamonds.
Everybody eatin'
that mean the whole crew shinin'.
If you don't gang bang
that mean you 550 and neutral.
A diamond ring is a "snow cone"!? Oh, man, that's great.
6 Responses to "Swagga Talk"
I still can't believe you're quoting Cam'Ron. Ouch.
I like Cam'ron's zany lyrics usually, but he's given us such crap over the last couple of years that I have a hard time trusting his quotability.

It not sweeties, is tweeties
Fixed that. Good lookin' out.
on 24 Nov 2007 at 1:38 pm6 judah
It banana'd me. That's "Swagga Talk" for "it appealed to me". Okay, maybe that's "Dad joke talk".

What a fab villa. From the very first email to the owner to the day we checked out was so uncomplicated. The villa was much more than we expected. Our boys loved the pool and space in the villa. The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable and when a small problem with an iron arose it was sorted that very day. I could not fault this wonderful villa and we will be returning again in 2015 !!! And amazing value too

House needs help
August 13, 2013
Management was very nice to deal with, both pleasant and responsive to our needs. The house however is in serious need of fresh paint on the walls, the carpets need cleaned and the A/C vents and ceiling fans need cleaned. We felt 'Dirty' staying in this house. The Dryer was broken upon arrival, the Kitchen Sink was leaking and could not be used. Management was VERY GOOD at getting it fixed the next day which was great, but we hated the inconvenience nonetheless. The technology in the house is lost in the 80's, the Tube TV in the Living Room seriously needs upgraded to a Flat Screen and the ancient DVD Player did not work. The Queen beds really need to be King Beds, there is plenty of room to upgrade in the Rooms. If the Owners put a little bit of money into this place they could really bring it up to a higher standard. Unfortunately, comments made in the 'Guest Comments' book left at the property mentioned the same items for 3 or more years and the Owners have never listened and made those adjustments. It does not seem like they care much about the property. I would NOT stay in this home again.

excellent stay!!

First, the reservation was extremely easy. I sent and email and the next day I had a reply with the few questions I had. They accepted credit cards via phone and it was a done deal. All I had to do was follow up the week before to get the code to get in. The house was very clean, the pool was well kept, and the kitchen was well stocked (not expecting that). My family and I would recommend staying with them to anyone

Simply Fantastic!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home, situated perfectly for our enjoyment. The open space and clean atmosphere allowed us to enjoy it like it was our very own. The location was great and easily accessible. The rooms were great and we loved that there were 3 rooms with beds larger than a twin. We enjoyed the pool and the serene atmosphere and also loved the stylish furntiure. We plan to stay in this particular home again twice before the end of the year and can't wait to go back. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the nice housekeepers who prepare this home for all guests and do her best at making sure it's nice and clean for each families arrival!

My family and I rented this vacation home during the Thanksgiving holiday. The home was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, and met our every need. It was perfect for me and my family, and actually turned out to be better than we expected. We enjoyed it immensely- especially the pool. We had a great experience in this home, and will be happy to recommend it to our friends and family in the future. We definitely intend to rent it again. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving holiday/vacation a great one!

Speaking in many tongues
