The Unix Philosophy
Author: Mike Gancarz
Publisher: Digital Press
Price: $19.95
Reviewer: Belinda Frazier, firstname.lastname@example.com
I was first drawn to this book by the title and by the following in the introduction: "The creators of the Unix operating system started with a radical concept: They assumed that the users of their software would be computer literate from the start." Of course, it is just this assumption that helped keep Unix from being used very much outside the technical, university, computer-literate environment for many years. This book satisfactorily explains how and why the Unix operating system developed as it has; compelling arguments explain why the Unix philosophy allows for good software design and why, in the author's opinion, Unix will become the world's operating system.
The book is geared mostly toward readers who haven't yet used Unix, but the author also intended that experienced Unix programmers would reread it several times so as not to forget the nine main tenets of the Unix Philosophy, as well as the less stringently "enforced" minor tenets. (I think enforcement is accomplished by "true" Unix programmers looking down their noses at those who go astray from the true Unix philosophy.)
The book credits Stephen Bourne, William Joy, Brian Kernighan, and Dennis Ritchie, among the many people who contributed to the Unix Philosophy, each by giving some major contribution to Unix in the early days. For example, William Joy brought text editing and C-like command language (he developed vi and the C-shell); Dennis Ritchie brought us the C programming language.
The main tenets (each of which have sub-tenets) of the Unix philosophy are as follows:
Small is beautiful.
Make each program do one thing well.
Build a prototype as soon as possible.
Choose portability over efficiency.
Store numerical data in flat ASCII files.
Use software leverage to your advantage.
Use shell scripts to increase leverage and portability.
Avoid captive user interfaces.
Make every program a filter.
The author introduces each tenet with a simple, real-world example (or "case study") , then further explains why the tenet is important by including non-technical computer-world examples.
Tenet 1. Small is beautiful.The book offers an example of how Volkswagen ran an ad campaign with the phrase "small is beautiful" in the US to promote the VW bug, but the idea was generally ignored in the US until the price of oil went up and Americans learned the advantages of small cars. The author draws an analogy to these nouveau small-car-appreciators to programmers at AT&T Bell Labs discovering that small programs were also easier to handle, maintain, and adapt than large programs.
In a non-Unix environment, a program to copy one file to another file might include, as in an example given in the book, twelve steps which do more than perform a file copy. The twelve steps perform extra tasks, some of which are considered "safety features" by some. The steps might include checking to see if the file exists, if the output files are empty, and prompting users to see if they know what they're doing (for example, "Are you really really sure you want to do this, and does your mother know you're doing this?"), etc. Just one step of the sequence might be the actual copy command. A Unix program (or command) would only include the one copy command step. Other small programs would each do the other 11 steps and could be used together if the Unix user wanted to use these extra steps. Although the author purposefully steers away from giving Unix examples until near the end of the book, I would have liked to see several Unix commands strung together to accomplish all the tasks described by the twelve steps.
Tenet 4. Choose portability over efficiency.The example given here is of the Atari 2600 which was the first successful home video game. Most of the code for the game cartridges was very efficient but nonportable. With the advent of new hardware (the "5200"), the code had to be rewritten to run on the 5200 which took time and money. The author proposes that Atari would have been the largest supplier of software in the world if its code had been portable.
There is a three-page analogy of selling Tupperware to the "use software leverage to your advantage" tenet. Who would have realized a multilevel marketing scheme is a good way to write software?
A sub-tenet of the leverage tenet is allow other people to use your code to leverage their own work. Many programmers hoard their source code. The author states that "Unix owes much of its success to the fact that its developers saw no particular need to retain strong control of its source code." Unix source code was originally fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of developing a new operating system, and companies started choosing Unix as the platform to build their software on. Companies who chose Unix spent their effort and money on developing their applications, rather than on maintaining and developing an operating system.
There were a few too many pages in this book attempting to reach the stubborn Unix-haters, for example trying to soothe the ego of the programmer who measures him/herself by the number of pages to their large programs. I was slightly put off the book by the psychological explanations of how programmers might behave until I realized these were gentle nudges—and Unix-aficionados are not known for gentleness in talking about other operating systems—that might actually get through to even a lifetime-Brand X operating system user.
I'd strongly recommend this book for people from all operating system environments.

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

Bowling for Columbine
Cast: Michael Moore, Charlton Heston, Matt Stone, Marilyn Manson
View All Available Formats & Editions
Filmmaker, author, and political activist Michael Moore trains his satirical eye on America's obsession with guns and violence in his third feature-length documentary, which gets its title from a pair of loosely related incidents. On April 20, 1999, shortly before they began their infamous killing spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold attended their favorite class, a no-credit bowling course held at a bowling alley near the school, the same bowling alley which would become the scene of a robbery and triple homicide two years later. While pondering these events, Moore humorously considers the link between random violence and the game of ten pins; along the way, Moore calls on the Michigan Militia (and gets to know some of the models for their "Militia Babes" calendar); spends some time with James Nichols, brother of Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols; visits K-Mart's corporate offices with two teenagers injured in the Columbine massacre as they ask the retail chain to stop selling bullets for handguns; investigates the media's role in the American climate of fear and anger; compares crime statistics in the United States with those of Canada (which, despite higher unemployment and a larger number of guns per capita, manages to rack up a small fraction of the homicides committed in the United States), and questions actor and National Rifle Association president Charlton Heston regarding his appearance at a pro-gun rally held in Littleton a few days after the Columbine massacre, and a similar rally in Flint, MI, after a six-year-old boy killed a classmate with a gun he took from his uncle's house. Bowling for Columbine received its first public screening at the 2002 Ann Arbor Film Festival; the film's official premiere took place a few months later at the Cannes Film Festival.

I didn't know what to expect. This movie really gives you something to think about when it comes to guns, gun control, and all the different things that drive people to do what they do. This movie doesn't just address the Columbine tragedy but includes tragedy in general. Makes you think about the glorification people put on news and violence. Explains how the media, writers, film makers, etc. have more of a conscious regarding how much money they will make versus the influence they will have on people (especially young people). As they say sex and violence sells which is a sad state of our society. I now have a lack of respect for Charlton Heston (ironic how he played Moses in the Ten Commandments).
Bowling for Columbine was an awesome and very original look at violence in America. It mixed a hint of sarcastic comedy with a realism that really hit home. Between the hip roaring hilarious ''History of America'' Southpark cartoon that made you burst out into combustive laughter and the surreal real time video footage from the Columbine massacre that made you break down like a baby and cry...all of your emotions were touched. In this film, you truly will cry and laugh and be angry. Two points rang clear in this film. We live in an ever increasingly ''fear oriented'' world where we're bombarded with tales of murder and threats of killer bees and bombs in shoes. And two...it really is only a few committed people who really ever make a difference. This movie is a must see!
Should be compulsory viewing for every American. No wonder this movie won at Cannes. Michael Moore is no actor but he got the story line nearly perfect.
This movie is nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I began watching this movie I was riveted to the screen. I wish that every American could see this - especially all of the war-mongers out there that are completely intolerant of people and cultures and think that war is the answer to solve all problems. Not to mention, it is quite an eye-opener to see some a few famous people in their true form, instead of the phonie front that they portray on T.V. and fictional movies. If this movie does nothing else for you, it will absolutely make you think.....a quality that most of the ''blockbuster'' or as I call them....JUNK movies are so sadly lacking.
I couldnt stand it. I especially hated when he attacked that senile, feeble old man towards the end of the film. BLAH!!!
This was a great documentary, but Mike Moore makes me sick. He is a raving idiot whose un-American views should be kept to himself, not blared to thousands of booing real Americans who do not care what the F--K he thinks. You are very good at what you do Mr. Moore. Do not ruin it by being Jessie Jackson Jr.
I first saw this movie the night it came out, and I loved every minute of it. I went back and saw it five more times. Every American should see this movie, especially the ones who are obsessed with guns. It is a poignant look at a deadly American obsession. With all its humor, it still carries a very strong message.
Sarcastic, funny and real-all geniune Michael Moore style. Hits very true to home...and makes you reflect very deeply (and consider moving to Canada).
I think this is the most important movie of all time. I think everybody should see this movie.
I must say that iam truely disappointed with the US. this movie already cameout here in europe - its been a bestseller too. you cant walk into a movie store without seeing a large display of these DVDs for sale. in fact it is even sold at a bookstore that has no other movies. why on earth is america trying to hide this flim. of yes because it goes against what americans -i am one too- were tought to believe as acceptable. if you want to see a different side of america you sould see this movie, but if your happy in your own little world find a disney movie to watch.
Michael Moore's documentary on the shootings at Columbine High School takes a very serious though thoughtfully witty examination of violence in America, both past and present. Through interviews with victims and others both directly and indirectly impacted by the tragedy, as well as stars of hollywood and others, Moore gives viewers a chance to personally interpret what he portrays as mere possibilities in the never-ending saga of the causes of violence in American culture. My final thought: Damn... how'd we EVER get this far?? Thank you Michael.
Michael Moore has succeeded in tantalizing the audience with his somewhat odd but brutally honest (and at times humorous)approach at researching possible causes of the shootings at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Through interviews with actors, as well as people who were directly affected by the shootings and some who weren't, the film gives a wonderful portrayal of violence in the history of America. It is an eye-opener in a frighteningly realistic way to what true values and morals this country is run under. Thank you Michael.
Brings home the duplicity of the gun lobby, NRA and naivity of their followers and fans. Moore's directness is as always piercing to the crux of the issue, in this case gun violence. Incredible. Laugh and cry with this one!
It's good for Michael Moore that this film won an Academy award, after ''Bowling'', his reputation as a reporter of the facts is now in serious jeopardy. It's sad that he has to resort to conning the audience by passing off myth as substantiated fact in order to make his arguments. Otherwise, a great work of reality-based FICTION. My advice, do your own research on Columbine, etc., before you watch this film. You'll be amazed at the differences.
He should be ashamed! Hey Moore, read the definition of ''documentary''. There is more fiction than truth in this story and is done solely to further his political cause, as evidenced by his acceptance speech. Don't waste your money on a work of fiction.
THis movie is a must see. Not only does it tackle so many of the issues in conversation today regarding race,fear and ignorance it does so in a way that injects humor into how Americans think without making fun of our overwhelming fear and insecurities about each other. The movie is a great conversation piece and can lead to hours of open dialogue amoung people of all races, creeds and the like.
A movie not a documentary. Moore should try and be as HONEST about his story as he wants the President to be. Somewhat funny, but mostly rubbish. Gets a 10 for fiction and a zero for honesty.
This film is important for every American to see, especcially those that are subject to the American Scaremongering, i.e. everyone. It brings ideas to light that the modern day babysitter (TV) won't tell you. I'd be scared not to see it.
Michael Moore is a truly talented humorist. For those with little exposure to the facts, his story line will be very persuasive. When CNN's Lou Dobbs asked about the glaring inaccuracies, Moore's response was how can there be inaccuracy in comedy? As the Wall Street Journal stated March 21, 2003, Mr. Moore would deserve an Academy Award if there were an Oscar for Best Cinematic Con Job.
Does anyone else who has watched this movie know anything about Micahel Moore? The man is certainly not an expert in political science, for that matter neither am I, but do I claim to be? No. Does Michael Moore claim to be in this ''documentary'' (read 'editorial')? Anwser that yourself. What Michael Moore does in fact do is critizice the extablishment (which he has always done) which is sometimes good, but not always good as Mr. Moore seems to think. As its main way of demonstrating its points, the film uses interviews with unsespecting ppl. like employess of a Kmart who are selling things that are protected by the American Constitution. This simply exposes Moore for what he is; a political southpaw and one who skillfully bends truth to his own point of view. Don't let films like this sway your own views of what is or is not true.
A very emotional look a very serious problem. Mr. Moore simply used the incident at Columbine as a launching pad for this video diatribe. I'm not sure where the ''fiction'' came into play, but those B&W security camera images from the High School will stay with me a long time. The oppressive air of fear we are all subjected to by the vast wealthy media of this country is certainly a problem we will have to contend with, soon. That to me is Mr. Moore's messgage here and his greatest concern going forward. As far as saying shame on the leader of our current ultra-nationalistic regime, I say more power to you.

With the Montgomery County Biosciences Task Force laying a strategy for growing the biosciences industry, the Council has now taken a major step toward leading the County into the next 30 years of growing knowledge-based jobs and developing communities of innovation. The Great Seneca Sciences Corridor Master Plan provides for a place for science in the County. But, County Executive Ike Leggett has reminded the Council this area cannot be the only place.
In a recent letter to the Council, Leggett has urged them to "…now link the Great Seneca Sciences Corridor to other areas of the County with complementary science-based assets. I am speaking of the White Oak planning area with the FDA's Federal Research Campus, the Adventist Hospital campus, and the planned East County Science and Technology Center.
"I am writing to encourage the Council and the Planning Board to modify the Planning Board's workplan to move the White Oak Plan up to be the next priority for the Planning Board in its master plan revisions. By advancing this plan, we will send a clear message that Montgomery County is a premiere place to locate and develop communities of innovation where companies can locate near the federal assets that govern their work. The White Oak area can also provide growth capacity with opportunities for robust collaboration and ready access to an ever-developing workforce.
"By focusing on the White Oak Plan now – before the ICC is completed – we can make very clear that East to West, with NIH in the core, Montgomery County is the place for knowledge-based jobs and opportunities."

I've had the unique opportunity to see this movie twice in 12 hours on opposite coasts. I watched it last night at 12:01 in the company of r_sikoryak , his wife (and co-director of The Bentfootes) Kriota Willberg, and loyal Wadpaw reader The Editor at the too-small, under-equipped City Cinemas Village East Theaters in New York City, then flew home to Santa Monica, picked up the kids from school and took them to a matinee show at the state-of-the-art Century City AMC 15.
Or at least the show at the Village East was supposed to start at 12:01. (To add to the excitement, jacksonpublick and date were seated the next row over.) Around 12:15 a burly man charged up the aisle carrying the huge spool of film on his shoulder, and about five minutes later the movie actually started. The sound was tinny and the projection substandard, as it has always been at that theater. I liked it just fine, R sent me an email saying he was conflicted, Kriota enjoyed picking apart the logical inconsistencies, The Editor seemed pleased but not blown away, and Mr. Publick was seen weeping softly for his ruined childhood as the lights came up.
I admit I was a little hesitant to see it twice in 12 hours, especially as I haven't slept in about a week due to traveling, but the sound and projection at the Century City AMC is astounding and I enjoyed the movie easily twice as much on the second go-around, with my seven-year-old son on one side, marveling at the ravenous ants and cheering the atomic bomb, and my five-year-old daughter on the other side, cowering in fear of the mummies and whispering to me that Cate Blanchett looks really good, both with her sunglasses and without them, both ways looks really good.
(Dad, by the way, agrees. And in fact I'll go one better -- Irina Spalko is my favorite Indy bad guy -- sexy, tough, resourceful, human, smart and funny. She has a good plan and her prosecution of it is logical and consistent. She's everything a bad guy needs to be.)
(When she meets her doom, Kit was a little confused and a little horrified. The following conversation occurred:
KIT: Dad, what just happened to her?
DAD: [gives an explanation of what happened to her]
KIT: Oh. That's okay, we hated her anyway.)
I will need to watch the movie again with a timer and a pause button to properly analyze the screenplay, but I will say that upon two viewings the script holds together as well as any of the Indiana Jones adventures do and better in some areas than ever. It is thematically rich and consistent, and the action is as fluid as we would expect from the director of Raiders and as complex as we would expect from the director of War of the Worlds.
The first time around, sure, there were some things that stuck out weird to me, but that effect came largely from my own expectations, not from what's actually in the movie. The second time around, with my Indy-loving kids by my side, none of that stuff seemed to matter anymore -- it was a much more purely enjoyable experience, visceral and effective, inventive, sly and affectionate.
I read about people saying that the first 25 minutes is great but then the movie loses its energy. That's not the movie I watched, it seemed to keep going just fine, keeping pace not only on its own terms but on the terms of its predecessors.
First time around, it was a little weird to see Indy have to drag four or five other people around for the last hour of the movie. Second time around I barely even noticed it.
Anyway, it's getting late and I still haven't slept yet so I'll stop here. It's a real movie, it's a real Spielberg movie, and yes, it's a real Indiana Jones movie. Which is not to say there was not some confusion in my corner of the theater, leading to these two comments:
1. SAM: I think it's set in 1957 because the actor playing Indiana Jones is just that much older. That's why he looks so old. They made it happen later because he's old now.
2. KIT: (pointing) Is that Indiana Jones?
DAD: Yes.
KIT: Why isn't his hair brown?
Within moments of returning home, Sam found his brown fedora, a life-size plastic skull and a pillow case and was seen romping around the house pretending to be Indiana Jones in his latest adventure.
There are, of course, Spielberg references tucked into almost every scene -- too many to recount here, some of them very oblique and almost subliminal.

Brief Summary
While crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in marine environments, hexapods, including insects, rule the land. Their dominance among animals is evident in their numbers of species, with over 750,000 described (Wilson, 1988), as well as biomass (e.g. Fittkau and Klinge, 1973).
Hexapods include three orders of wingless arthropods (Collembola, Protura, Diplura), as well as the insects. The former orders are soil or litter dwellers. Collembola (springtails) are perhaps the most abundant arthropods on earth. Proturans are very small, pale arthropods that are rarely encountered. Diplurans include a few families of larger, pale arthropods that are frequently found in moist soils. The majority of hexapod species are insects, many of which are winged as adults.
Comprehensive Description
The most distinctive feature of the hexapods is the reduction in walking appendages to six, with three body segments consolidating to form the thorax, which provides much of the locomotory ability of the animals. (This is in contrast to other arthropods, most of which have more than three pairs of legs.)
Physical Description
Hexapods are arthropods, i. e., animals with segmented bodies. Segments are organized in three distinct functional units, or tagmata: the head, thorax, and abdomen (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982). The head is a capsule formed by the fusion of several segments (the exact number is controversial, Weidner 1982). It features mouthparts for feeding as well as a pair of antennae (absent in Protura) and other sensory organs.
The most distinctive feature of the hexapods is the reduction of walking appendages to six, with three body segments consolidating to form the thorax, which provides much of the locomotory ability of the animals (Kristensen 1981, 1991). This is in contrast to other arthropods, most of which have more than three pairs of legs. The hexapod abdomen, primitively with 11-segments plus a postsegmental telson, is specialized for digestion, excretion, and reproduction. It generally lacks legs, but many apterygote (wingless) hexapods and some pterygote insects feature a variety of abdominal appendages, including a pair of cerci on the terminal segment (absent in Collembola and Protura), which function as sense organs (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982).
The hexapod central nervous system consists of the brain, which is located in the head and a nerve cord composed of a series of ganglia extending ventrally along the longitudinal axis of the body (ventral nerve cord, Chapman 1998, Niven et al. 2008). In the basic hexapod body plan, there was most likely one ganglion associated with each body segment, but modern hexapods display varying degrees of ganglionic fusion (Chapman 1998, Nation 2002). The central nervous system controls muscles, glands, and other organs, and it receives input from a diverse array of sensory systems.
Hexapods possess many different kinds of sensory receptors that monitor both the external and internal environment. A great variety of mechano- and chemosensory systems have been described across different groups of hexapods (Chapman 1998, Nation 2002, Weidner 1982); however, visual perception appears to be important only in insects, many of which feature highly specialized compound eyes (Horridge 1975); while the mostly soil- and litter-dwelling Collembola, Protura, and Diplura entirely lack eyes, although some Collembola have ocelli (Gillot 2005).
Life History and Behavior
The typical reproductive system of female hexapods features paired ovaries which release eggs into lateral oviducts (Chapman 1998, Stys & Bilinski 1990). The egg then travels through the median oviduct to the genital chamber (vagina). Fertilization usually occurs immediately before oviposition by sperm that are retrieved from one or more sperm storage organs (spermathecae). In most hexapods, there is a delay between sperm transfer from the male to the female and sperm usage by the female; so sperm are often stored in spermathecae for considerable periods of time (up to many years in some ants, e. g., Tschinkel 1987).
Sperm are usually received through the female genital opening (gonopore), which also serves as the exit for fertilized eggs. In most insects, eggs are laid through an ovipositor, a tube-like structure of varying length created by the fusion and modification of the abdominal body wall (Chapman 1998, Lawrence et al. 1991, Weidner 1982). Upon leaving the body, hexapod eggs are often accompanied by the excretions of female accessory glands. These substances may be used to attach the eggs to the substrate, or they may protect the eggs from predators or the elements (Chapman 1998).
In the male reproductive system, paired testes release sperm into the vasa deferentia which may feature a seminal vesicle where sperm are stored before leaving the body through the ejaculatory duct (Chapman 1998). The male accessory glands secrete seminal fluid, which supports sperm survival and fertilization success. Accessory gland secretions also form the spermatophore, a specialized structure that encapsulates sperm and seminal fluid and protects them during transfer to the female (Chapman 1998).
In apterygote hexapods (Collembola, Diplura, Archaeognatha, Zygentoma, nothing is know about the mating behavior of Protura) sperm transfer is indirect; i. e., males deposit (usually stalked) spermatophores in the environment, and females actively pick up sperm packets and absorb them into their reproductive tract (Proctor 1998, Schaller 1971). In pterygote insects, spermatophores or unencapsulated sperm are usually transferred directly from male to female through copulation, and males have highly specialized intromittent organs for this purpose (Chapman 1998, Eberhard 1985).
Evolution and Systematics
Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
The position of Diplura in the hexapods is unclear. Traditionally, it has been placed with the Collembola and Protura in a group called "Entognatha",
=== Collembola ===| ==Entognatha=| === Protura =====| | | ====== Diplura | =================== Insecta
so named because members of these three orders all have the base of the mouthparts internalized, so that the mandible and maxilla are partly contained within the head capsule. In addition to this derived similarity in mouth structure, these three orders share reduced Malpighian tubules and compound eyes. However, there is some evidence that diplurans may instead be the sister group of insects:
=== Collembola ===| | === Protura =====| | === Diplura ===| === Insecta
Derived characteristics linking diplurans with insects include the presence of filiform cerci, and an extra set of nine single tubules in the axoneme of the sperm. For a more detailed discussion of the evidence, with additional references, see Kristensen (1991).
Physiology and Cell Biology
Most insects breathe with the aid of a complex system of tubes (tracheae) which deliver oxygen directly to its sites of utilization (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982). Tracheae are also present in non-insect hexapods, but their tracheal systems are simpler, with much less branching of tracheae and no anastomosis (reconnecting of branches, Gillot 2005). Most Collembola and Protura do not have any tracheae at all (Gillot 2005, Hopkin 1997), and gas exchange occurs entirely through the external body wall. Since non-insect hexapods are generally very small, their surface area to volume ratio is high, and oxygen easily diffuses from the atmosphere into all parts of the body cavity (Hopkin 1997).
The circulatory system of hexapods does not have a role in gas exchange. Its main function is the transport of nutrients, hormones, water, salts, wastes, etc. throughout the body (Chapman 1998). The hexapod circulatory system is open, i. e., the blood (hemolymph) fills the entiry body cavity (hemocoel), which is usually loosely subdivided into different compartments by muscular sheets or tissue membranes (diaphragms). Movement of the hemolymph is achieved by a contractile dorsal vessel and various accessory pulsatile organs supplying the appendages (Gereben-Krenn & Pass 1999, Jones 1977, Pass 2000).
The digestive system of hexapods is greatly modified in different groups to facilitate the exploitation of a great diversity of food sources (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982). The alimentary canal is usually a continuous tube that extends from the mouth to the anus. Most digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs in the midgut, and food reserves are stored in the fat body, a large aggregation of cells suspended in the hemocoel (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982). As the insect's principal metabolic organ, the fat body synthesizes and accumulates lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins. Excretion and water regulation are achieved by the Malpighian tubules, a group of blindly ending tubes that are attached to the anterior end of the hindgut. They absorb water and solutes from the hemolymph and transfer waste products to the hindgut for transport out of the body via the anus (Chapman 1998, Weidner 1982). Malpighian tubules are absent in Collembola and aphids, and Diplura, Protura, and Strepsiptera feature excretory papillae rather than tubules at the junction of midgut and hindgut (Chapman 1998).

Friday Jan. 9, 2009
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has hired one of his former Florida players to coach Gamecocks quarterbacks.
Spurrier said Friday he had hired G.A. Mangus, who was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Middle Tennessee State the past three seasons. Spurrier called Mangus was one of the country's best quarterback coaches.
Mangus was head coach at Division III Delaware Valley for four seasons before joining Middle Tennessee. Mangus was a quarterback at Florida from 1988 to 1991. He was part of Spurrier's first Southeastern Conference championship team his senior season.
Mangus takes over for David Reaves, who left last month to join the staff of his brother-in-law and new Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin.

The Missing-Weapons Scandal
Published: June 4, 2003
To the Editor:
Re ''Standard Operating Procedure,'' by Paul Krugman (column, June 3):
As the truth surfaces about the deception and manipulation used by the Bush administration to persuade this country to go to war with Iraq, it becomes imperative that the media and Congress show the courage to inform the people of the quality of its present leadership.
The Watergate scandal was serious; it threatened our political institutions. But the invasion of Iraq and the toppling of its government cost untold numbers of lives, tens of billions of dollars and a loss of American prestige, respect and credibility.
It is past time to begin to hold this administration accountable. The media and elected representatives need to pursue this story to the bitter end, not for partisan purposes, but to ensure the continuance of our democracy.
Asheville, N.C., June 3, 2003

In trying to adjust the colour of secondary column headings, I have inadvertently added a grey line through the whole content column, and added grey lines around every section of my home page and now looks really clunky.
I also want to replace the grey background fill around the Genesis Home Featured Posts widget, as it needs some definition between the rest. Or to find our where I can change the colour in the CSS.
I'm using the Elle child theme, and now can't find the theme on any list, or any support for it.

I hadn't received my refund yet, so I then emailed them on June 14th or 15th and told them I sent my card back and a request for a cancellation on May 13th, and asked when I would receive a refund? I was told I didn't request a refund and that they didn't get my cancellation back within the 30days and it wasn't postmarked within the 30days.
First, it shouldn't matter if I asked for a refund or not, because it says in their membership policy on their website that you may CANCEL and get a refund. And that's what I did. I CANCELED. I sent my cancellation in on MAY 13TH and have absolutely NO idea why they WOULDN'T have gotten my cancellation before the 30 days were up or why it wouldn't be postmarked within, by, or before the 30days, and they gave me NO date as to when it WAS postmarked. But I STILL sent my cancellation in on May 13th, and I put it in the mailbox on May 13th, so I WOULD get a refund and with the intention OF getting a refund.
They then tried to tell me that they thought I knew I wasn't qualified for a refund when I sent my notice in and when I was charged in June I decided to try and get the refund then. That is absolutely NOT true. I was NOT even CHARGED in June. I KNOW I sent my cancellation in on MAY 13, within the 30 day trial period so I WOULD qualify for a refund and I KNEW that I would when I sent my cancellation in on MAY 13th because that was within the 30 day trial period.
I turned my complaint over to the consumer protection agency, attorney general and local news station that helps consumers with complaints and procard has ignored their letters and me. I have proof that supports my complaint and they have shown no proof to me or the above agencies that says you have to ask for a refund to get one, and no proof of when my cancellation was postmarked. They just ignore it and are not being very fair about this or doing anything to resolve my complaint. What kind of company is that? I don't know how they can get away with it and will be taking legal action against them. They are going against their own guarantee by not giving me a refund.
Also, it's nearly impossible to make money on this business and don't know how other people are supposedly doing it. Even when you can get company or personal leads to sing up to become registered, they never become active because they can't get anyone to enroll in the plan and they don't want to enroll them selves. Or, you can't get anyone to become registered, after they find out that they have to call business because the business never want to enroll in the plan, and after they find out they will have to enroll someone else, which they can't, or themselves, which they don't want to, in order to become active. So, you can't make money on this business, you just loose it, and everything I stated is the truth, and thought people should know what kind of company this really is so you can think twice about getting involved with them

Procard Intl guarantees Their profit ONLY !!! SHAME ON YOU, PROCARD INTERNATIONAL !!!
AUTHOR: Quinn - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 15, 2006POSTED: Sunday, October 15, 2006
By the way, Procard International must have a paid position for constantly monitoring these complaints. Writing rebuttals is apparently an essential part of their occupation. Procard can afford to spend so much time here because they don't have a legitimate business to attend to.
What makes them the crooks they are and deserving of contempt is how they have no conscience against financially hurting well-meaning people who are struggling to survive, by stealing what little money they have and waisting their time, not to mention causing them torment and mental anguish.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Duke was 18 at the time and claimed he thought Ray had a gun.But prosecutors said Duke killed Ray before he could testify against another man, Jordan Martin. Martin is also charged with first-degree murder.Court documents filed in the case said Martin perceived Ray as a "snitch."The Springfield News-Leader reported that a pre-trial conference for Martin is scheduled for January 2nd.

Madhatters and horse-racing fans converged at the 138th Kentucky Horse Derby on Saturday, May 5.
Life Is Crazy: TRUMP NOT PAYING HIS EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS BUT TRUMP SUPPORTER WILL WORK FOR NOTHING FOR TRUMP Contractors, waiters, dishwashers, and plumbers who have worked at Trump projects say that his company stiffed them for work, refusing to pay for services rendered. USA Today did a lengthy review, finding that some of those contracts were for hundreds of thousands of dollars, many owed to small businesses that failed or struggled to continue because of unpaid bills. (Trump was also found to have improperly withheld compensation in the undocumented Polish worker controversy.) Trump has offered various excuses, including shoddy workmanship, but the scale of the problem—hundreds of allegations—makes that hard to credit. In some cases, even the lawyers Trump has hired to defend him have sued him for failing to pony up their fees. In one lawsuit, a Trump employee admitted in court that a painter was stiffed because managers determined they had "already paid enough." The cases are damaging because they show Trump not driving a hard bargain with other businesses, but harming ordinary, hard-working Americans

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Instead of reviewing the books I bought this week, as it's Sunday and I just got them today, I thought I'd play a game with y'all. Dig in!
Okay, so here's the game. I write some very brief random thoughts about the comics I bought this week. You will match them to the list of comics I will provide. It's just like the SAT test, people! Except more fun. Let's hope.
1. I really ought to work the phrase "You maggot-infested trough of a diseased hog's dinner" into conversation more often.
2. The twists and turns and time jumps in this issue make the conclusion to this arc a brutal and brilliant piece of work. Everything fits perfectly and sets up the next story wonderfully.
3. So many hilarious lines, typically beautiful art, and a world where Thomas Edison has invented a "necrophone" is one I want to live in.
4. Say what you want about the creative team, but any book that uses sound effects so excellently has to be a must-read, right?
5. I read someone call it "fincest." Heh. That's pretty clever. This comic just kind of ends as if it simply ran out of pages, which is kind of weird.
6. Why does this character have a grawlix sewn into his shirt? That's kind of odd. And yes, if you're not steeped in some obscure history, this might not work for you, but it did for me!
7. Normally time travel makes my head hurt, but this fits together very nicely. I'm still not sure why the past can't be changed, but oh well.
8. An issue on time? It can't be!
9. By far the creepiest book of the week, plus the continuing obsession of the writer with beards!
10. I can't imagine how this book will last very long, but the first issue is a nice disturbing book, with an odd restriction at its center. I know it's just to get things rolling, but it seems like a very strange overreaction.
A. Agents of Atlas #6 by Jeff Parker, Gabriel Hardman, Jana Schirmer, and Nate Piekos.
B. Astro City: The Dark Age Book Three #2 (of 4) by Kurt Busiek, Brent E. Anderson, John Roshell, and Alex Sinclair.
C. Atomic Robo: Shadow From Beyond Time #2 (of 5) by Brian Clevinger, Scott Wegener, Ronda Pattison, and Jeff Powell.
D. Batman and Robin #1 by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Alex Sinclair, and Patrick Brosseau.
E. Captain Britain and MI 13 Annual #1 by Paul Cornell, Mike Collins, Livesay, Jay David Ramos, Joe Caramagna, Adrain Alphona, and Christina Strain.
F. Chew #1 by John Layman and Rob Guillory.
G. Scalped #29 by Jason Aaron, R. M. Guéra, Giulia Brusco, and Steve Wands.
H. Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #3 (of 3) by Grant Morrison, Cameron Stewart, Dave Stewart, and Todd Klein.
I. Secret Six #10 by Gail Simone, Nicola Scott, Doug Hazlewood, Mike Sellers, Jason Wright, and Sal Cipriano.
J. Universal War One: Revelations #3 (of 3) by Denis Bajram.
These are probably too easy, but that's why it's fun! I'll be back on point this week, polluting the Internet with my overly long ramblings that no one cares about! Until then, start your guessing!
1. Secret Six #10. That's completely a Gail Simone line.
2. Scalped #29. It was the only one I couldn't connect, so here we go.
3. Thomas Edison? That's Atomic Robo for sure.
4. Batman and Robin #1. Frank Quitely is all about subliminal words.
5. Agents of Atlas #6. Apparently Atlantis is the underwater version of Appalachia. This was foreshadowed in Incredible Hercules, by the way. Herc freaked out a lot for a guy whose stepmom is also his aunt.
6. Captain Britain and MI 13 Annual #1. You really needed to know your Excalibur and Captain Britain to get full impact here. Did anyone else have trouble IDing all the cricket players?
7. Universal War One: Revelations #3 (of 3). I personally find the time travel in this series pretty hard to grasp, but it works out eventually. It's a complex series that really benefits from a reread.
8. Astro City: The Dark Age Book Three #2 (of 4).
9. Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #3 (of 3). Haven't read it, but the first Seaguy did feature She-Beard.
10. Chew #1. There are only two first issues up there, and Batman and Robin sure isn't in any danger of cancellation.
1. Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #3
2. Scalped #29
3. Atomic Robo: Shadow From Beyond Time #2
4. Batman and Robin #1
5. Agents of Atlas #6
6. Captain Britain and MI 13 Annual #1
7. Universal War One: Revelations #3
8. Astro City: The Dark Age Book Three #2
9. Secret Six #10
10. Chew #1
1. Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye
2. Scalped
3. Atomic Robo
4. Batman and Robin
5. Agents of Atlas
6. Captain Britain and MI 13 Annual
7. Universal War One
8. Astro City
9. Secret Six
10. Chew
How'd I do?
Dang. Master Mahan gets it on the first try. I have to make these harder! Thanks for playing, everyone!
Continuing the trend of undervaluing Marvel's Soleil line, here we have a review of the conclusion to one of the greatest european SF comic epics, a book indicated to the greatest award in comics (the Angoulême award) reduced to a two-sentence review in the midst of a multiple choice quiz. Which boiled down to saying it wasn't as confuse as it was expected.
Was that the way manga were treated on the US before the Tokyopop explosion?
Hunter (Pedro Bouça)
Pedro: I really liked Universal War One. The finale was completely unexpected, which I appreciated, and the art was stunning throughout. Shame on Marvel for releasing it while I was on vacation. What's wrong with them?!?!???!??
It's cool, man. I just find it frustrating to see that book – the very best series Soleil has published – get even less repercution than the most obscure super-hero comic. Not even with Marvel backing it!
I don't know. They should forget the direct market, forget the US comic size and just release the books in bookstores on all their deluxe oversized glory. What good is to sacrifice your cultural identity when it amounts to nothing? Manga only got popular when it was published on a format similar to the original, I think the same will apply to european comics. At least the large format would make them stand out from the crowd…

They want me to RECOVER the money they sent to the STATE and send it back to them, then they would re-apply it to my account and then send me the TITLE.

I'm done. Goodnight. Thank you to those who gave genuine advice. You know who you are, because I already thanked you.
Actually, I fulfilled DH (or should I say he filled me? literally) a few hrs ago ;). I just don't agree with the immaturity of kicking someone while they are down. And it scares me people like you actually are parents already/becoming parents. This is how bullies and a poor society are created.
I think we can all come to the logical conclusion that that IS in fact what he was doing...
Also, I have had SUCH a dry spell since being pregnant, I have NO sex drive. If I got offended every time I thought my DH was pleasing himself (sorry hun) I would just be constantly angry with him...
OP now that we know that you've only had sex once in the past 1.5 years, it just makes us all feel for your DH even more. The poor guy.
I say these things, having one child already born. We co-slept, and I breastfed for a little over two tyears. I am a very attached mama. But I'm not married to my son. I do not feel my husband is icky for wanting to knock boots with his wife.
I am also an observant Catholic ... so, yeah, a little conservative on moral matters. And I really must say that it is morally wrong to place one's children above one's spouse, to arbitrarily deny sex with one's spouse, especially for such a weird reason. For crying out loud, turn off the cams, get some therapy, and be a wife to your husband.
Are you fucking serious?
Was it you that called all of us immature a few comments ago???
Nobody was "kicking her while she's down".
She asked... we all gave her our honest opinions..
!Rainbow Baby BOY due 3/10/2013!
Looks like my Give A Shit button broke.
We're all immature bullies... says the woman saying she can't wait to laugh at our supposedly inevitable problems, and telling us we're all going to be horrible society ruining mothers. Do you have a mirror in your house momsk1? lol
I think that sex is one of the keys to a successful marriage. And having a successful marriage will benefit your kids. What's the harm in getting it on when your daughter is at the house? She's young enough now not to know what's going on. Plus let's face it everyone is a little happier after the act and small things aren't made into such a big deal because you are satisfied and you are happy. Sex with my DH makes me feel better about my postpartum body and current preggo body because I like to see that I can still turn him on and get him off. What would scar your daughter more, hearing sex noises or having divorced parents?
Have a glass of wine, take a bubble bath, chill out and then go into the room and knock the socks off of your hubby. Get a good nights sleep and see how you feel in the morning?
Sorry I can't relate because my dh doesn't have a super high sex drive.. mine is higher than his so he doesn't masturbate, that I know of...
~If you ask God for something, be open to how he gives it to you!~

Then the package arrived, and we tried to send it back, but they wont take it. They didn't even bother to tell her the price, I wouldn't pay 95 dollars for septic tank stuff when you can buy ridx for way cheaper, and it works. Now their saying they're going to sue her. I tried calling them and explaining everything to them but they just kept sending me back to the same extremely rude guy in financing. I mean I've never encountered anybody so rude, he actually made me cry he had me so upset and I do NOT cry easily.
So if anybody has any advice it would be greatly appreciated, my grandmother is bedridden, and they won't leave her alone. I don't know what to do anymore.
