Monitoring with the Sysstat tool collection
Ins and Outs
If you have kernel 2.6.20 or newer, with the CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING option built in, you can also use pidstat to monitor the I/O load for individual processes or whole groups. On a system with the right support, typing
pidstat -d 2 3
will generate output as shown in Figure 3. Pidstat will list the processes generating I/O and even tell you the type (read or write), along with the data throughput (in Kbps).
To allow this to happen, you need a recent kernel, the packages from the Sysstat website, and a matching cron configuration.
Listing 1 shows the /etc/cron.d/sysstat file on Ubuntu. In the simplest of all cases, the following two lines in /etc/crontab are all you need:
*/10 * * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 53 23 * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
The first entry starts sadc (the System Activity Data Collector), the server daemon that collects data every second and stores its findings under /var/log/sa. The logfile format is saXX, where XX is the date. The second part with sar -A just rotates the logfiles.
Listing 1
Cronjobs for Sysstat
01 # Global variables: 02 # 03 # our configuration file 04 DEFAULT=/etc/default/sysstat 05 # default setting, overriden in the above file 06 ENABLED=false 07 SA1_OPTIONS="" 08 # Activity reports every 10 minutes everyday 09 5-55/10 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 ] && { [ -r "$DEFAULT" ] && . "$DEFAULT" ; 10 [ "$ENABLED" = "true" ] && exec /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 $SA1_OPTIONS 1 1 ; } 11 # Additional run at 23:59 to rotate the statistics file 12 59 23 * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 ] && { [ -r "$DEFAULT" ] && . "$DEFAULT" ; [ 13 "$ENABLED" = "true" ] && exec /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 $SA1_OPTIONS 60 2 ; }
Iostat and Mpstat
Besides sar and pidstat, the Sysstat package also includes iostat and mpstat. Mpstat monitors the processor you pass in to it; iostat is popular with file, database, and mail server administrators as a tool for measuring system I/O load by drive, disk, partition, and filesystem.
For example,
iostat -m -n 10 2
monitors an NFS mount point and outputs the volume of data in megabytes (Listing 2). For a single partition, you can do the same by typing iostat -m -x sda2 10 2, as shown in Listing 3.
Listing 2
NFS Mount Point Activity
01 # iostat -m -n 10 2 02 Filesystem: rMB_nor/s wMB_nor/s rMB_dir/s wMB_dir/s rMB_svr/s wMB_svr/s rops/s wops/s 03 server:/home 0,03 0,01 0,00 0,00 0,01 0,02 6,53 6,53 04 05 Filesystem: rMB_nor/s wMB_nor/s rMB_dir/s wMB_dir/s rMB_svr/s wMB_svr/s rops/s wops/s 06 server:/home 6,65 6,64 0,00 0,00 6,65 0,81 252,40 252,40 07 #

Absolutely Essential
The latest version of the Sysstat package includes some new features that many administrators have been waiting for – above all, the ability to monitor I/O load per process. Linux had some catching up to do in this regard. It is a pity you can't use this feature on older servers or on enterprise distributions. It is questionable whether distributions will respond with matching kernels and packages in future releases.
If you can do without detailed I/O statistics, a combination of sar and kSar will give you a flexible and comprehensive interface that lets you monitor multiple servers at the same time.
Even if you don't have a full-fledged monitoring system, you will still be able to identify recurring bottlenecks and take steps to fix any performance issues before a system crash.

According to close family sources, Pan was to report for duty on a flight to Dammam. She had parked her car next to a shopping complex on Airport Road and was crossing the road when she was hit by a speeding vehicle. The motorist did not stop. The accident happened at around 6.30am.
She was rushed to the emergency unit of Hamad Hospital, where she was put on a life support system. However, she succumbed to her injuries at 2.45pm.
Family sources said Pan had been working with Qatar Airways for almost four years and had got married recently. Her parents are expected to arrive here today.
"It was an unfortunate incident; we all are saddened by the tragedy. It was a shock for her colleagues and our sympathies go to her family," a Qatar Airways spokesperson told The Peninsula.

"Close to Rome And Worth a Visit" Orvieto by painterdave
Orvieto Travel Guide: 217 reviews and 758 photos
Since I paint when in Italy I look for smaller towns, friendly people and great food/wine. When I researched Orvieto I found it to be just about perfect, and one hour by train from Rome which made it a plus. I usually travel by train and the train station is below the town, but there is a tram that takes you up to Orvieto in minutes. From the top it was only a 5 minute walk to my hotel.
Orvieto has some historical sights, including a very deep well dug by the citizens back when they needed to have extra water for seiges, and a beautiful cathedral with a golden front. Be sure and visit this in the afternoon so that the sun will shine on the golden front.
I painted my way around the city walls and then also in the main square. You will find lots of photo opportunities throughout the town. My photos here will show you what you will see beyond the famous sites. If you want to see the cathedral, etc. you can find them easily enough. My photos will help you determine whether you want to visit Orvieto or pass it up for some other hilltop town.
If you are on a budget, this is a place for you. Hotels and food are cheaper than in Rome. It is also much more of a peaceful place, so if you are tired of the crowds and it isn't July, I recommend Orvieto.
As you walk around the walls you will find many beautiful views. This was taken in early April and so the Spring green was just showing.
You can see that Orvieto has small towns around the base of its high hill, and there are many small farms of grapes and olive trees and fruit around it.
At the time that I was there there was still a bit of mist/fog that lingered until late morning. I would imagine that more near the summer this mist would not be there.
One time around the whole of Orvieto would burn off some calories, now you could more enjoy their great cuisine. ...And their food is delightfully good.
Here is a watercolor I finished a while back, inspired by Orvieto and its quaint streets.
I only wish that I lived closer to Orvieto, as I live near Venezia. There are so many places to visit in northern Italy that it seems we hardly ever get beyond Firenze. However, when we go to Roma we always stop for a day.
- Pros:Crowning A Hilltop Near Rome
- Cons:Bring a map of the town
- In a nutshell:Great White Wine/Cheaper Hotels

I am going to visit Orvieto one day.
Hi, Dave! I am glad you find inspiration in Italy... I am sure I would have too...
Ah, brings back fond memories. Hope this finds you both still well in Padova. Cheers and thanks again for the night out.
This town has been in the midst of much history and strife, and still prevails with great culture and preserved. We hope to get here someday. Ciao.
Years ago, when I visited Orvieto, we ate in a restaurant that had once been a church. Is it still there? Nice pictures Dave.
I loved touring Orvieto with you, my friend. =)
Good mornig Dave! The name of the hotel I was talking about is "le vigne di adamo"... www.levignediadamo.com... Have a look! Have a nice day!

HIV/AIDS in New Zealand
There is a relatively low prevalence of HIV/AIDS in New Zealand. The rate of newly diagnosed HIV infections was stable at around 100 annually through the late 1980s and the 1990s, but rose sharply from 2000 to 2005. It has since stabilised at roughly 180 new cases annually. Male-to-male sexual contact has been the largest contributor to new HIV cases in New Zealand since record began in 1985. Heterosexual contact is the second largest contributor to new cases, but unlike male-to-male contact, they are mostly acquired outside New Zealand.[1]
The first recorded death in New Zealand due to AIDS was in New Plymouth in 1983.[2]
In 1985 Eve van Grafhorst was ostracised in Australia since she had contracted HIV/AIDS caused by a transfusion of infected blood. The family moved to New Zealand where she died at the age of 11. By the time of her death her plight had significantly raised the level of AIDS awareness in New Zealand.
World AIDS Day is observed in New Zealand.
The Ministry of Health is the government department which deals with health issues, including HIV/AIDS.
The New Zealand AIDS Foundation is a registered charitable trust which focuses on prevention of AIDS in the most at risk group, namely men who have sex with men.

Definition of artesian in English:
Relating to or denoting a well bored perpendicularly into water-bearing strata lying at an angle, so that natural pressure produces a constant supply of water with little or no pumping: the water from artesian wells makes agriculture possible
More example sentences
- The drilling cut off the water supply from three artesian wells on their private land.
- It was taken to Ilam to pump water for domestic supply from an artesian bore near the water wheel to a water tank on a tower beside the homestead.
- In both flowing and non-flowing artesian wells, the water is under higher pressure than would be created by a column of water extending from the depth of the open well to the top of the aquifer.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Hormone Replacement Therapy?
- Prevents bone loss that can lead to osteoporosis
- Relieves symptoms of menopause
- Lowers risk of colon cancer
- Lowers risk of macular degeneration, vision loss that occurs when the macula, the part of the retina at the back of the eye that provides sharp, central vision, deteriorates with age
While HRT may help many women get through menopause, the treatment is not risk-free. Known health risks include:
- An increased risk of endometrial cancer (if a woman still has her uterus and is not taking progesterone along with estrogen)
- Increased risk of blood clots
- Increased risk of stroke
- Increased risk of gallbladder disease
- Increase in blood pressure in some women
- Increased risk of larger, more invasive breast cancers (combination HRT only)
The decision to use hormone therapy after menopause should be made by a woman and her health care provider after weighing all of the potential risks (including breast cancer, stroke and blood clots) and benefits (relief of menopause symptoms and prevention of osteoporosis). Scientists are continuing to learn more about the effects of HRT.

Ellis's gift to help create
'better educated farmers'
Robert Ellis of Eminence has been presented his check for $2,500 for the Shelby County High School FFA program as part of the America's Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM program sponsored by Monsanto.
PNC Bank, Margaret Y. Baird trust, Calvin L. Baird Jr. to Calvin L Baird Jr., property on Veechdale/Clark Station Road, $61,000
Ann H. Sanderlin to AHS Realty LLC, 203.79 acres, U.S. 60 west, $725,000
Phyllis Jane Doolin Estate, Phyllis Jane Harrod Estate, Christopher Harrod to Christopher and Krysta Harrod, Lot 16, Block E, Middleton Heights, $1 and considerations
Homeowners Mortgage Enterprises to Jonathan T and Lori L. Callis, Lot 7 Mackey, $45,000
U.S. 60 near Clay Village was closed for nearly three two hours Thursday afternoon when a power pole fell over in the road, officials said.
The pole fell in the 7200 block of Frankfort Road, just east of Buzzard's Roost Road, and power lines were dangling on the road.
The highway was reopened at 4:12 p.m.
The pole was not struck by a vehicle, and gusting winds could have been responsible, officials said.
The Evans family of Simpsonville, who lost their daughter Hanna at age 6 and established the Hanna's Day of Hope to raise money to help sick children, is donating $1 million to establish a transplant program at Kosair Children's Hospital.
The family annually hosts a golf tournament and holiday party to raise money to support the Cancer Care and Renal Center at Kosair plus other pediatric programs.
On Monday, they will announce the establishment of the Hanna Catherine Evans Bone Marrow Transplant Program.
I have learned to be discerning when it comes to catalog shopping. I steer clear of outrageous or cheap deals. I prefer the specialty catalog where expertise reigns providing us with both a good product and the information to grow it well.
The Simpsonville Police Department again will pursue available grants to help beef up its patrols.
That's what Police Commissioner Scott McDowell told the city commission during a speedy meeting Wednesday morning at city hall.
McDowell said the city had won more than $24,000 in grants in past years and that he recently had become aware of the opportunities that are available.
"There's one you can get for DUI enforcement that will pay overtime for officers," he said.
Excitement lighting their faces, about 100 employees of Martinrea Heavy Stamping who gathered at the plant Wednesday broke into applause when Gov. Steve Beshear announced plans for the plant's multimillion-dollar expansion and the addition of 150 new jobs.
"This twelve-million-dollar investment is going to create one hundred and fifty new jobs for this community, and folks, that's really something to celebrate," Beshear told the crowd, which also included city and county officials, some of them seated on the platform behind him.
Bill introduced to limit

House Bill 375 would limit members of the House and Senate to serve no more than three consecutive terms in office. Rep. Mike Nemes, R-Louisville, sponsor of the measure, said he feels it is representative of the wishes of Kentucky residents.
Morton and Rose Suter Quickert of Shelbyville were married Feb. 18, 1961, in New Castle.

Climate change could cut the value of the world's financial assets by $2.5tn (£1.7tn), according to the first estimate from economic modelling. In the worst case scenarios, often used by regulators to check the financial health of companies and economies, the losses could soar to $24tn, or 17% of the world's entire assets, and wreck the global economy.

An isolated storm delivered a mixture of rain, hail and lighting shortly after noon on Thursday, briefly knocking out power in some places and contributing to the swell of the Animas River. A flash-flood warning was issued for the Durango area until 3:30 p.m.
May 28, 2015--Extreme rainfall becoming more common, new analysis finds (Huff Post)
As floodwaters ravage Texas and Oklahoma, a new analysis finds that heavy downpours have increased dramatically since 1950. And scientists project that precipitation patterns will become increasingly erratic as the climate changes. The Northeast had a 31 percent increase in heavy downpours between the 1950 to 1959 period and the 2005 to 2014 period.

George Washington
George Washington: Washington's Slaves
Ever since he had led the Continental army, Washington had been meaning to do something about his slaves. While a general, he had commanded free blacks in his army and saw that they were the equals of whites. His military ally and surrogate son, the French Marquis de Lafayette, was a firm believer in equal rights, and, during the war, he lobbied Washington to free his slaves. But more compelling than Lafayette's arguments were Washington's own convictions. He had concluded that slavery was inefficient: people, he believed, worked better when they owned what they produced. And Washington had a hunch about the direction history was moving. Slavery, he felt, was probably on the wrong side. So Washington decided to free his slaves.
There were complications, though. Many of the slaves on Washington's plantation didn't actually belong to him. As part of Martha Washington's estate, they belonged to her and her children, not to George. He couldn't free them even if he wanted to. More impassable than the legal difficulties, however, were the political ones. After he became president, Washington's personal actions carried national significance. If he had freed his slaves then, the South would have read it as a blanket condemnation of slavery. It would have reignited the politically explosive slavery question and might have destabilized the slave state—free state compromises that had made national government possible.
But Washington could only put off the slavery question for so long. After serving out his second term, he returned to Mount Vernon, where he promptly drafted his will. In it, he didn't just free his slaves upon Martha's death; he set up a trust to provide for the ill and elderly among them and to sponsor education for the young. It was a significant statement: Washington was the only slave-owning Founding Father to free his slaves, let alone provide for them.

Gaddy-Merry, NC/CA
(For background, see Gaddy and Gaddy, "That Our Names May Be Written," pp.121-122, also 388-389.) The fascinating story of Don Merry (1920-1998), born Millard Gaddy, g gs of Confederate soldier Benjamin Gaddy of NC (Co. K, 43rd Regt NCT, d. 1862) closed the chapter on a puzzle of long standinginvolving Don's gf, Stephen, of Anson county, NC, (brother of our g gf, George Washington Gaddy of NC -- not "the Georgia One"), who "went West" some time after the end of the war and was "lost sight of."
Don/Millard's mother, Bessie, was blinded at birth (in AR) and was later placed in an institution in Los Angeles for her care. He was born when she was twenty in 1920, father John Albert Reynolds.
I just came across Bessie (as Bessie Mae Hackett) in the 1920C of Los Angeles, CA, where she is listed, age 19, as an inmate, single. Of interest was that three other Gaddys are listed with her, Aurora, b. c1896; Lilly, c1896; and Mabel, c1896.
Does anyone recognize these three? So far as I am aware, they are not siblings of Bessie. They could help to fill in the path taken by Stephen when he "went West" to seek his fortune after the wartime death of his father -- Bessie, born in Arkansas in 1901 and subsequently in an institution in California. I am also curious about Stephen's life (1858-c1903) and occupation, for he was remembered in the naming of other members of the family back in NC.

I like to think I write because I have beauty hidden in me, somewhere. But the truth of the matter is that I'm addicted to it.
They call it the Dawnlight because that's as far as it ever gets. The sun rises in the early morning, with its thin, tentative light, and for the rest of the day there is nothing more. Nothing. Nothing but rain and grey and dead dragon bones. Bare rock and bodies. It's dark and wet and empty. It's fog and sickness and death.

Still the Tiger and Phil Show in Augusta?
It's a great part of The Masters' appeal that, for 75 years, things have gone down more or less the same way. And so, in a certain sense, fans – pardon, "patrons" – know what to expect when the players tee off at Augusta National on Thursday. The course will be immaculate and devilishly difficult. The scoreboard will be operated by hand. The announcers will whisper. And, when the weekend's over, one of the players teeing off on Thursday will pull on a not-terribly-flattering green blazer and smile. Which brings us to one last way in which this year's Masters resembles those that came before – no one really knows who that player will be.
The consensus, though, is that defending Masters champion Phil Mickelson looks like the favorite again this year, which would indeed make this year's Masters like last year's. "Mickelson is suddenly the reigning king of the place," Yahoo's Dan Wetzel writes. "He's not just as the defending champion, either. For once, he's the favorite over longtime nemesis Tiger Woods with both oddsmakers and, as much as it can be measured, the general mood of the place."
Of course, there is one problem with this – until his victory in last week's Houston Open, Mickelson hadn't won anywhere since he last won at Augusta National. Tiger Woods, who has four green jackets to his name, would seem a decent pick as a favorite, had he not struggled so much of late while rebuilding his swing. And Tiger is still Tiger, whatever his swing looks like. "The debate about whether Woods is foolish to switch swing coaches — again — and tear down his game to its foundation at age 35 might miss the larger point," the Washington Post's Thomas Boswell writes. "First, Woods has time — and a great deal of it — on his side. Second, as he has made clearer than ever here this week, his radical changes are more necessity than obsession." At Slate, Michael Agger looks at Tiger's recent stats and sees a player who is getting his groove back.
That is, a player with one top-10 finish this year who is maybe getting his groove back. In an ordinary tournament, it might be difficult to call Mickelson and Woods favorites over such current stars as Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell. But this isn't an ordinary tournament – Kaymer has missed all three of his cuts at Augusta National, for instance, and McDowell has missed two of three. And so, at least for now, the two big-name stars that seem to have the course figured out stand out as early favorites to some experts. "Like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus before them, they've cracked the code," Cameron Morfit writes at Golf.com. "As ordinary as they've looked — and they've each looked painfully so for much of the last year — Mickelson and Woods remain overwhelming co-favorites at Augusta." At the very least, they've done it before. Wondering, on the tournament's first Thursday, whether they can do it again has become something of a Masters tradition, too.
The Journal has a full team in Augusta – stay with the Fix through the rest of the week for updates from John Paul Newport, Jason Gay and Stephanie Wei. They're already underway today – we've got the latest news and an updated leaderboard.

Stop us if you've heard this one before: a hedge fund manager, a Hollywood producer, and the defending NBA MVP walk into a bar, where they proceed to buy a blue-chip English Premier League soccer team. Get it?
Admittedly, it's more funny strange than funny ha-ha. But it's also not a joke – on Wednesday, it was announced that LeBron James joined Boston Red Sox owners John Henry and Tom Werner in a deal to purchase a piece of the Premier League's Liverpool FC. "The deal marks the first time that a professional athlete at the top of his game has taken an ownership interest in a team with the size and reach of Liverpool, which is one of the most popular and powerful sports teams in the world," the Journal's Matthew Futterman writes.
Liverpool would seem a good investment in a number of ways, but Yahoo's Eric Freeman points out that taking a stake in such a high-profile team fits well with LeBron's ambitious career trajectory. "LeBron has said for years that he wants to become a global icon on the order of Michael Jordan," Freeman writes. "And while reaching that level of fame will probably always depend most on whether or not he becomes an NBA champion several times over, business decisions like this one position him to reach out to an unprecedented number of fans."

It's not that there aren't enough ways to watch the Winter Olympics – from streams to the multiple television channels broadcasting the events, the problem is less that people can't get the curling they need than that there aren't enough hours in the day to watch all of the events. That's not going to change in 2014, when the Winter Olympics adds six new events to its slate. From team figure skating to women's ski jumping to a luge relay, the new events are about as obscure as you would expect.
But these new events also represent the fulfillment of lifelong dreams for participating athletes. For women's ski jumpers, who had gone so far as to sue for the right to participate in the 2010 Vancouver Games, being invited to the Olympics was a redemptive success. And for halfpipe skiers, John Symms writes at ESPN, being invited to the Olympics represents an opportunity to redefine their sport. "What halfpipe skiers get now, for the first time, is an opportunity to forget the poster signings, forget the schmooze time, forget the money, and focus solely on competing in halfpipe," Symms writes. "Even better, they now have the opportunity to let their talents make them a part of something bigger than themselves."

For a movie that wasn't much good when it first came out 15 years ago, the Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny vehicle "Space Jam" has had a long run in the public consciousness. Some of this might have been inevitable – only one film feature Shawn Bradley, Bill Murray and Marvin the Martian. But a lot of it can be attributed to just how goofy everything about the movie is. The movie's hilariously outdated and inexplicably still operational circa-1996 website even became a miniature web meme at the end of 2010.
And the same is true, to an extent, of the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective's analysis of Space Jam's game tape. The results include a discussion of Michael Jordan's usage rate in the film, Wile E. Coyote's shot-blocking strategies, the swallow-the-whistle refereeing style of the aforementioned Mr. Martian, and a host of other goofinesses.

I came into this university as a Global Studies major and I have been in love with it since day one. I think that this is the best major on campus because it really caters to your interests. You select a thematic area to concentrate your studies in as well as an area and language to focus on. I love studying languages and decided to take three last semester, which just proves how flexible the major is to work in classes you want to take. My primary language is Mandarin and I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Beijing in the Spring of 2015. This experience was one of the best I've had in college. I learned so much about a culture different from my own and really began to understand diversity. This is a term often brought up in today's culture but it really is exemplified by the Global Studies major. You spend every day working with students and faculty that come from places all around the world and you can't experience that better in any other major than Global Studies.

Area Focus: West Africa
Study Abroad Program: MSID Senegal
I entered the University of Illinois as a Global Studies major. I was very excited about all the possibilities the major would offer me from the beginning. In my first semester, I met another Global Studies major who told me about her plans to study abroad in Senegal. I developed an interest in the country, and eventually decided to do my study abroad there. I spent the academic year 2015-2016 living in Senegal, most of that time spent in the capital city of Dakar. I took courses in French and English with other American students and worked at consecutive internships. My French and Wolof (the most widely-spoken language in Senegal) improved considerably, and I discovered a topic I was interested in for undergraduate research. The photo here shows me with the Diene family. Professor Oumar Diene taught the Environmental Issues in Senegal course during my first semester with MSID. He then offered me an internship with a community development organization in the Yoff neighborhood of Dakar during my second semester. Because Yoff is a half hour's bus ride from my host family's house, I ate lunch at Professor Diene's house every day with him and his family. As with my host family, I felt very welcomed by them. Yoff feels like a part of a much smaller town than downtown Dakar, a community where people look out for each other. I felt very inspired by the example of people like Professor Diene, who were engaged in actively improving life for others in their country. In this way, my time away taught me to also value the importance of ties to home.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I've had this problem since WP 3.0, no matter what I try I cannot get the admin panel / editor to come up. I cannot edit any role, when I try to go to /wp-admin/users.php?page=user-role-editor.php it basically sits there.
I have tried deleting the plugin dozens of times. It worked previously but nothing will make it work now. From the User menu in Admin I can click on Capabilities for a user and it will show me the options of checkboxes and I can only add, not delete checks.
As it stands I have no ability to edit roles... Any ideas suggestions? Thanks.

Last week on this site my colleague Agnes Poirier vented her anger at President Sarkozy's contemptuous treatment of the French media. The crowded press conference at which this happened on Monday 7 January might be a significant moment indeed, for one of several reasons. It might have changed some French minds about Sarkozy himself, who seems on the verge of illustrating a truth: that the arrogance of power is a very short step away from the abuse of power. On some views this has already begun to happen under his presidency.
But almost certainly it will have confirmed at last a striking fact about our contemporary world: that the fourth estate is not what it was as a force in political and social affairs. Evidently Sarkozy feels no need to woo it, explain himself to it, or have it on his side: he treated it with disdain, as if it were irrelevant.
And perhaps it is indeed becoming so, at least as regards the political process. There are two connected reasons for thinking this. One is the internet and in particular the twin phenomena of blogging and interactivity it has created, by the latter meaning the comment threads that accompany most op-ed pieces posted on media websites. The other, in no small measure following from this, is the loss of trust and credibility that the media have suffered in recent years.
There is much that is good, and something bad, about the effect the internet has had in these respects. The good concerns the massive democratisation of opinion and debate the internet has enabled, and the way it has made the world porous to information. We might be living through an information honeymoon: how long before nervous governments begin to emulate China in policing the internet vigorously and eventually castrating it? But at present a great deal of data gets arrowed around the world in split seconds, a lot of it such that someone somewhere would rather it were kept quiet. In these respects the internet is like the agora of old, except that everyone can attend and have a say.
The downside is the volume of rubbish, the anonymous viciousness and sneering, the ad hominem attacks, the paragraph-long pretensions to authoritativeness, the degrading of debate it freely permits, making it what I've before now called the biggest toilet wall in history. Well: it takes a lot of compost to grow flowers, so we have to put up with this; and anyway, some things deserve trouncing with the gloves off, even if not everyone can tell the difference between justified and irresponsible versions of that process.
The media have always been a much weaker presence politically in the United States than in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. This is a function of the US's size, and the fact that although all newspapers and TV channels are local to constituencies of readers and viewers, in the US newspapers are mostly local to geographical regions too. Moreover, whereas the broadcast media in Britain tend to take their cue from national (not on international) news and opinion from the print media, the sheer variety of media outlets of both kinds in the US makes the news and opinion landscape there considerably less uniform - except on the lowest common denominator material concerning celebrities and spectacular murders. Only where there is a genuinely national press such as we have in Britain has it been able decisively to influence policy and elections - think Murdoch's Sun and the Labour party.
But if the power of the press is weakening in the way here surmised, is this a bad thing? It might be that a diminution of political influence can allow the more valuable functions of the fourth estate - which in addition to reporting are to inform, challenge, explore and debate - to emerge more strongly, for the reason that the cacophonic Babel of voices created by the web makes the need for "expert filters" all the greater - as forums where a degree of responsibility, reliability and accountability places positive constraints on the quality of content. If a media organisation gets it wrong in some respect, say by libelling someone, it can be brought to book. The anonymous insulters or liars on the internet are unaccountable, so there is no constraint on their output. This big difference will get bigger with time, as the geometrically increasing uptake of the agora-like potential of the web progresses.
Yet one can see the promise, and in fact already the presence, of a mutually positive relationship between the media and the blogosphere, chiefly in the latter's hawkeyed challenge to the former. Columnists and leader writers once pontificated and enjoyed the luxury of hearing no raspberries blowing back; individuals who disagreed might write a letter to the newspaper or the individual journalist, a practically silent protest with little effect. Now the entire world can know what responses a piece of journalism has evoked, and when it has got things wrong or been egregious in view or stupidity, it can be publicly castigated. This drastically diminishes the standing of the press, but can and should have the effect of making it ever more careful. And that enhances its function, described above, of serving as a more reliable, better informed, clearer voice than most in the overall tumult of noise.
So whether or not the media are losing their political clout, as Sarkozy's contempt for them suggests, one must hope that they will retain the better part of their purpose as just described. For however good it is that the sans-culottes are everywhere in today's versions of Alexandra Palace and Printing House Square, it would be a dismal thing indeed if they were the only occupants.

Senior BJP leader and former state finance minister Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala was unanimously elected the Speaker in the 13th Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.
His appointment was hailed by Chief Minister Narendra Modi besides senior ministers and House members. Vala was ushered to his chair by Modi, Vaghela and Keshubhai besides Ganpat Vasava amid thumping of desks.
Congratulating Vala on the occasion, Modi said Vala had performed his duty in all capacities inside and outside the Assembly very efficiently in his career spanning over 45 years. He said it was not a small achievement that Vala had been a motivating force as a senior minister in the government. He made a special mention of his sense of humour that helped lighten many a crisis situations and relaxed tempers in tense moments. He also took note of Vala being elected unanimously as upholding of a healthy democratic tradition.
While greeting Vala, Leader of Opposition Shankarsinh Vaghela urged him to follow the principles practised by former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee and go beyond party lines. He assured Vala of full cooperation from the Opposition benches but said it was also expected that the Speaker would take care of the Opposition and young MLAs.
GPP chief and former chief minister Keshubhai Patel on the occasion advised the ruling party to accept the views of the Opposition on the public issues in a positive way. NCP member Jayant Patel also greeted Vala.
Vala in his speech said, "I will try to fulfil your expectations and give full chance to the Opposition benches but you will have to maintain the decorum in whatever you speak here." He further said development was a physical thing but "actually all of us have gathered here for development of the nation, of which Gujarat is a part". "We will be developing the nation by developing Gujarat," he said.

Lee's Palace is a rock concert hall located on the south side of Bloor Street West east of Lippincott Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The two-floor facility in The Annex neighbourhood has a long history prior to being adapted in September 1985 for its current use as a concert venue and nightclub. While the Lee's Palace live performance venue that accommodates just over 500 guest is on the ground floor, the top floor is occupied by The Dance Cave, a nightclub that on the weekends mostly caters to university and college students from the nearby downtown Toronto schools such as University of Toronto, Ryerson University, OCAD University, and George Brown College with alt-rock while attracting older patrons during workweek with a fare that includes goth rock, mod music, punk, and indie.
Having been established and owned for 16 years by the Korean Canadian entrepreneur Chong Su Lee a.k.a. Mr. Lee,[1] the venue has since 2001 been owned by Collective Concerts, a Toronto-based music promotions company (owned by Jeff Cohen with partners Ben Pearlman and Bruce Bennett) that also has the Horseshoe Tavern, another iconic Toronto music venue, among its list of assets.[2] In 2006, they also bought the building that houses Lee's Palace.
The building at 529 Bloor Street West, which currently consists of two floors of 5,000 square feet each, dates back to early 1900s and was reportedly a bank at one point[2] as well as a shoemaker shop.[3]
Allen's Bloor Theatre[edit]
During late 1910s, the building's redesign got initiated by its new owners — Canadian-based Allen Theatres chain that decided to turn it into a silent movie theater. With the redesign executed by the Detroit-based Howard Crane's company,[3] the 782-seat Allen's Bloor Theatre became one of Toronto's (a city of some 200,000 inhabitants at the time)[4] most luxurious suburban movie houses.[5] The undertaking came as part of Allen Theatres' aggressive 1917-1920 expansion into the Toronto marketplace, a period during which they built/redesigned many buildings around the city into theaters such as Allen's Danforth on the Danforth and Allen's Beach Theatre in the Beaches neighbourhood as well as purchased many existing theaters like the nearby Madison Picture Palace across the road on Bloor St. and the 1,100-seat Beaver Theatre in the Junction neighbourhood.[5]
Allen's Bloor Theatre's premiere screening was held on 10 March 1919 with Cecil B. De Mille's Don't Change Your Husband starring Gloria Swanson.[5]
By mid 1980s, the building was purchased by Chong Su Lee a.k.a. Mr. Lee, owner of a nearby Stop & Go corner store on Bathurst and Harbord who became interested in the music venue concept through The Cameron House and the 1980s Queen West scene.[1] On 5 September 1985, Lee's Palace was opened as a music club by Mr. Lee, the venue's namesake, with dancing on the top floor and live music on the main floor, much as it is today.[2][6]
In 2001, Mr. Lee died and the business got bequeathed to Mr. Kang. In 2006, the business change hands again to the current owners.[2]
Live music[edit]
Lee's Palace is a Toronto hotspot for live music. Known for its intimacy and strong acoustics, it hosts live music nearly every night of the week. The music genre generally played at Lee's Palace is alternative rock. Canadian music groups such as Moist, Sloan, Our Lady Peace, Barenaked Ladies, and The Tragically Hip have played this venue's[7] tiny stage early in their careers. International stars such as The Verve, Nirvana, Tortoise, Blur, The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arctic Monkeys and The Magnetic Fields made their Toronto debut at Lee's Palace.
The capacity of the venue is roughly 600 people in the concert area, and more upstairs in the "Dance Cave", the dance club under the same roof. The Dance Cave caters to the alternative rock crowd, playing retro rock, Mod, '60s, Britpop, and indie rock during the week, and straight alternative on the weekends.
Regulatory agencies[edit]
As the venue serves alcohol, attendance at concerts and events at Lee's Palace is generally restricted by the laws of the province of Ontario to those 19 years of age or older, although the venue occasionally hosts all-ages shows (usually on weekend afternoons or early evenings) where alcohol is not served.

Guys & Girls:
Most people care about their appearance
Guys & Girls:
It's preppy but don't worry if everything you own isn't lily pulitzer. Preppy is definitely a Bucknell stereotype but all of my friends are down to earth and incredibly interesting people behind that too. Don't worry too much about it and you'll be fine.
Guys & Girls:
The students are by no means bad people, I just wish the school was more diverse in terms of personality. I'm not into partying, I hate crowds, and I'm really shy and introverted. It seems like everyone here is the complete opposite.
Guys & Girls:
The girls on campus are great. Almost all of them are very attractive. Some can come across as stuck up and all dress preppy, but they're all pretty cool
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
It's no secret—Bucknell has an unnatural amount of "really, really, ridiculously good-looking" people. (There was actually a Bucknell T-shirt made with that line on the back!) Most students are very conscious about health and fashion and care about their physical appearance, but they also seem to have a certain amount of natural hotness that can't come from the gym or make-up or the right clothes. Even if every girl or guy at Bucknell is not gorgeous, many still are able to project the idea that they are. The downside to having a good-looking student body is that some students, specifically girls, are overly confident in the fact that they are attractive, which makes them appear stuck-up. Also, the fact that Bucknellians are attractive and care about their appearance can have a negative impact on students, such as girls who frequently feel the need to go tanning and/or engage in unhealthy dieting. As with many college campuses around the country, the issue of eating disorders is prevalent.
There was a rumor that Playboy once ranked Bucknell third on a list of college campuses with the hottest girls, but Bucknell women have much more going for them than that. Girls and guys at Bucknell worked hard to get where they are and continue to work hard to stay where they are. Even though a guy may sometimes act like a frat guy from Animal House or a girl may display behavior reminiscent of Girls Gone Wild, everybody is an intellectual with ambitions and passions outside of the party scene. Come Monday morning, the guy you saw funneling three beers before he smashed the empty cans flat against his forehead raises his hand in politics class to share his views. The typical Bucknellian truly does lead a balanced life between the academic and the social. And if they don't, they eventually experience the consequences.

Skip to comments.Can't find shotgun thread. Looking for a semi-auto
Posted on 09/29/2008 7:24:35 AM PDT by refermech
A few weeks ago there was a thread outlining firearm choice and the author recommended a semi-auto shotgun. It was not one of the major brand names but a good quality copy. I can't remember the name. Can anybody help? Thanks!!
Mossberg 500?
Spend a few extra bucks and get yourself a quality name brand shotgun. I own a couple Remington 1100's and am very happy with them. Stay away from cheap Chinese type copies. You should be able to find a a used 1100 from $350-$500. Very good reliable shotgun!
I'm looking to buy something for home defense. I don't need all the bells and whistles and I'd like to keep it under $250.00 Anyone have any ideas on a solid shotgun that fits my needs?
A basic, bare-bones Mossberg Pump Action 12 gauge (Model 500) should be less than $250.00 brand new.
Anybody know what you can use in California? I only have a hand-gun right now, but given the circumstances, might be time for an upgrade.
Benelli. Fastest in the world. Google Tom Knapp (sp?) and watch his demonstrations.
Any semi-auto shotgun is legal in California, except those with a pistol grip.
Thanks Inyo-Mono, appreciate the information.
if you're looking for the copy, you're probably looking for the stoeger. uses the same inertia drive that makes benelli awesome, is a licensed copy, and sells for about 1/3 as much new.
That's the one! Thanks, any idea where to pick one up?
A few weeks ago there was a thread outlining firearm choice
and the author recommended a semi-auto shotgun.
Click "shotguns" under "KEYWORDS" above.
That looks like it will take to a list with a couple of threads
with that general theme.
Who gives a shi@. I'm loaded. It's time to rip Government apart and rebuild based on the Constitution.
You know what? You're right. None of those bastards have followed any laws or rules.
check http://www.stoegerindustries.com/customer_service/dealer_locator.php for a dealer locator for new guns.
for used ones, its hit or miss. start checking local gun shops, pawnshops, gunshows if there's one close, or online auction sites.
Mossberg, you can't go wrong.
They're looking for a semi-auto, not a pump.
The state's regulations are published on-line, here:
For the past few years, the law has been tinkered with on an annual basis. Always good to check the current regs before purchasing. Comply or not, it's best to know for sure before you accidentally commit a felony...
Im looking to buy something for home defense. I dont need all the bells and whistles and Id like to keep it under $250.00 Anyone have any ideas on a solid shotgun that fits my needs?Here you go. Search Davidson's Gallery of Guns. Use the 'Gun Genie' on the right.
Try it, it should help you. Plus it's fun.
"You probably won't find a decent semi-auto for under $250.00 I just picked up a Remington 1100 on gunbroker.com for $325.00 added a 2 shot magazine extension for $40.00 and refinished it for $10.00. I cut the 28" barrel down to a LEGAL 18.5" Nice compact home/truck self defense weapon! If you need to keep it under $250.00 a Mossberg 500 pump would be a great choice"
Just make sure after cutting the barrel back, that you test test test the gun to make sure it functions properly. Gas-operated shotguns can have their function altered by shortening the barrel.
That said, I have an 1100 very similar, though mine is longer with a longer mag extension.If you pick up a used 1100, be sure it's the 2 3/4" length chamber, as it is easier to find good defensive ammo in that length.
He's looking for a SEMI-AUTO, not a pump.
The 500 and 870 are pumps, guys. Read the title first.
Thank you so much absalom01. Appreciate the help.
Hey, your welcome.
I can and do spend hours at Davidson's Gallery of Guns just 'window shopping'.
Their old Gun Search had a feature I wish this new 'Genie' did. You could enter a price range so you didn't spend time looking at something costing $1,500.00 when your budget was $300.00 - $400.00 --- but its still a great website to shop for new guns.
Spend a few bucks more and get a Benelli - you'll thank yourself later.
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Stage Information for Adult NHL
Stage is important in selecting a treatment for patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Chest and abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scans are usually part of the staging evaluation for all lymphoma patients. The staging system is similar to the staging system used for Hodgkin lymphoma.
Common among patients with NHL is involvement of the following:
Cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid may be positive in patients with aggressive NHL. Involvement of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes is less common than in Hodgkin lymphoma. Mediastinal adenopathy, however, is a prominent feature of lymphoblastic lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, entities primarily found in young adults.
The majority of patients with NHL present with advanced (stage III or stage IV) disease that can often be identified with limited staging procedures such as CT scanning and biopsies of the bone marrow and other accessible sites of involvement. Laparoscopic biopsy or laparotomy is not required for staging but may be necessary to establish a diagnosis or histologic type.[1] Positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose can be used for initial staging and for follow-up after therapy as a supplement to CT scanning.[2,3,4,5,6] Interim PET scans after two to four cycles of therapy did not provide reliable prognostic information because of problems of interobserver reproducibility in a large cooperative group trial (ECOG-E344 [NCT00274924]) and lack of difference in outcome between PET-negative and PET-positive/biopsy-negative patients in two prospective trials.[7,8,9]
Staging Subclassification System
Table 2. Anatomic Stage/Prognostic Groupsa
The Ann Arbor staging system is commonly used for patients with NHL.[10,11] In this system, stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV adult NHL can be subclassified into A and B categories: B for those with well-defined generalized symptoms and A for those without such symptoms. The B designation is given to patients with any of the following symptoms:
Occasionally, specialized staging systems are used. The physician should be aware of the system used in a specific report.
The E designation is used when extranodal lymphoid malignancies arise in tissues separate from, but near, the major lymphatic aggregates. Stage IV refers to disease that is diffusely spread throughout an extranodal site, such as the liver. If pathologic proof of involvement of one or more extralymphatic sites has been documented, the symbol for the site of involvement, followed by a plus sign (+), is listed.
Table 3. Notation to Identify Specific Sites
Current practice assigns a clinical stage (CS) based on the findings of the clinical evaluation and a pathologic stage (PS) based on the findings made as a result of invasive procedures beyond the initial biopsy.
For example, on percutaneous biopsy, a patient with inguinal adenopathy and a positive lymphangiogram without systemic symptoms might be found to have involvement of the liver and bone marrow. The precise stage of such a patient would be CS IIA, PS IVA(H+)(M+).
A number of other factors that are not included in the above staging system are important for the staging and prognosis of patients with NHL. These factors include the following:
To identify subgroups of patients most likely to relapse, an international prognostic index was compiled for 2,031 patients with aggressive NHL.[12] After validation by several cancer centers,[13,14] the major cooperative groups have used this index in the design of new clinical trials. The model is simple to apply, reproducible, and predicts outcome even after patients have achieved a complete remission. The model identifies five significant risk factors prognostic of overall survival (OS):
Patients with two or more risk factors have a less than 50% chance of relapse-free survival and OS at 5 years. This study also identifies patients at high risk of relapse based on specific sites of involvement, including bone marrow, central nervous system, liver, lung, and spleen. Patients at high risk of relapse may benefit from consolidation therapy or other approaches under clinical evaluation.[12] Molecular profiles of gene expression using DNA microarrays may help to stratify patients in the future for therapies directed at specific targets and to better predict survival after standard chemotherapy.[15,16]
