This is explicitly not part of AgentX. You are expected to use application management techniques on the host on which your subagent is running to keep the subagent up. This can be the same type of application management used to restart snmpd should it go down.
The master agent is expected to be unaware of the details of its subagents, and should not do the application management of them. The full reasoning behind this is a bit too involved to get into, but it makes sense once you've got everything running.

I'm trying to transfer files between my Siena and Series 5 (tried classic &
5mx) using the Infra Red and it always fails. Is it supposed to be possible
to transfer between these two machine?
Transfers between the 5 and 5mx work no problem, but not to the Siena.
I know the files won't be useable on the other machine (eg word files), I
just want to back up the files.

Salina, NY -- Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency officials closed the Ley Creek Transfer Station today because of a water main break.
The station, 5158 Ley Creek Drive, Salina, will not accept materials until repairs are complete, OCRRA officials said.
Kristen Lawton, speaking for OCRRA, said the station typically handles trash from commercial haulers on weekdays.
Small-business users hauling with smaller trucks can use OCRRA's Rock Cut Road trash-to-energy plant instead, Lawton said.
Haulers of construction and demolition debris should use the Town of Camillus Landfill on Belle Isle Road, she said
Lawton said officials still are seeking the cause of the main break.

Bollywood battles are fascinating. The ongoing tussle between two production houses – Yashraj Films (YRF) and Ajay Devgn Films (ADF) – on the number of single screens allotted to their upcoming Diwali releases Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) and Son Of Sardar (SOS) respectively have reached courts.
After the Competition Commission of India (CCI) rejected ADF's plea against YRF (which alleged that YRF used its dominant position in the industry to arm-twist exhibitors and distributors to release JTHJ in maximum number of single-screen theatres, Devgn has approached the Competition Apellate Tribunal against the order.
"We are shocked by the rejection of our legitimate case by the CCI," a spokesperson from ADF films said in a statement.
Meanwhile, India's foremost production house had earlier clarified that bookings for JTHJ were not monopolistic and did not disturb rules of competition. News agency IANS reported that officials at YRF were "shocked" over Devgn's claims of manipulation.
"The case of ADF is that a producer/distributor/exhibitor cannot be allowed to enter into a tie-in arrangement which adversely affects competition. YRF has entered into a tie-in arrangement with the exhibitors in a manner that has made it compulsory for the exhibitors to exhibit the untitled movie of YRF on Diwali day and two weeks thereafter with all four shows," said an official statement from the lawyers of ADF.
YRF claims that it has booked only about 1,500 screens out of the 10,500-plus single screens available in India. (There are about 1,400 multiplex screens in the country.) And this arrangement was easy because of the "goodwill" they shared with distributors and exhibitors.
"All the exhibitors, when approached by us earlier this year for booking their theatres, were happy to play out Yashji's movie considering their long-standing and emotional relationship and goodwill with YRF of over 40 years. A Yash Chopra-Shah Rukh Khan movie, coming after a gap of eight long years, did not need any coercion for contractual screening," a senior YRF official told the media.
Some sources in the film trade point out that screen bookings for JTHJ were completed in August as a part of a "package deal" with YRF's Eid release Ek Tha Tiger (which went on to gross more than Rs 300 crore at the box office). Hence, when Devgn sought single screen exhibitors, most of them were already committed to JTHJ.
Such wars between big banners and stars are not uncommon in Bollywood. At a time when first-day box office collections nearly make or break a film, production houses try to ensure they have a smooth run at the theatres by clinically avoiding a release of their film with any other major release. And big banners leave no stone unturned to release their big-budget flicks as widely as possible, both in India and overseas. For instance, YRF's last flick ETT was released with nearly 5,000 prints across the globe.
Additionally, festivals are a major attraction for producers. They are money-minting seasons where box office collections reach their zenith. The Khans have almost become synonymous with their festival releases. Salman owns Eid, Shahrukh rules Diwali and Aamir feasts on Christmas.
Hence Devgn's dilemma lies in the fact that if he delays the release of SOS by a week or two, it clashes with another big banner's big film with big stars: Excel Entertainment's Aamir Khan-starrer Talaash is scheduled for release on November 30 and has already generated a lot of hype.
While sections of the media have made it out to be a war between two of Hindi cinema's biggest and most bankable stars – Shah Rukh Khan and Devgn (who reportedly are not great friends), the latter insists that he's being made out to be the villain.
"I had filed the complaint much before the demise of Yash Chopra. When this happened I was like people are going to target me and nobody is going to understand my point of view… I was a villain on both sides. I couldn't withdraw it (notice) from the Competition Commission… It is not a normal court," the actor-producer told news agency PTI.
Yash Chopra, SRK and Diwali
While the legal battle between YRF and ADF reaches a crescendo, here's a look at how Diwali has been integral to both Yash Chopra (whose demise just weeks before the film's release has added to the buzz surrounding JTHJ) and SRK (who thrives on the festival of lights).
JTHJ is Chopra's and SRK's third Diwali release together after Dil To Pagal Hai (1997) and Veer-Zaara (2004) which set multiple records at the box office. Meanwhile, SRK's other Diwali releases (two of them with YRF) include Baazigar (1993), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Mohabbatein (2000), Don (2006), Om Shanti Om (2007) and Ra.One (2011). All these films have gone on to rewrite box office history and set benchmarks of various kinds. Without these Diwali successes, perhaps superstar SRK would never have been.
Only time will tell whether JTHJ will be an addition to this illustrious list. But for Devgn, whose last year's Diwali release Golmaal 3 rocked the box-office, there's a lot of legal 'golmaal' likely to ensue.

They don't call it an "enduro" for nothing.
Racing through the woods for hundreds of miles in pursuit of checkpoints — and not some checkered flag — while all in a single sitting would test one's endurance.
This weekend marks the 75th running of the 79-year-old Meteor Motorcycle Club's "Sandy Lane" enduro and the group will have three generations worth of motorcycle history on display to accompany their anniversary ride through Wharton State Forest.
"It's challenging on all fronts. Having the physical fitness to finish and the dexterity for five and-a-half, six hours of riding," said Jeff Fitzpatrick, Meteor Motorcycle Club president, of attempting, let alone completing, an enduro.
The American Motorcycle Association-sanctioned club is pulling out all the stops this weekend to show spectators just what the sport is like and how far it has come in nearly eight decades.
Meteor will be hosting special events down in Atlantic County on Saturday as well as Sunday, which is also race day. Attractions, to be set up on both dates, will encompass 75 years worth of motorcycle enduro history, including historical displays, vintage motorcycles, photographs from past to present and other key items pertaining to the sport.
Meteor MC was founded in 1928 and ran its first enduro in 1934. The layout of the Lane has changed but the pine trees and cranberry bogs have borne witness to it all, save some years during World War II when they had to cancel.
Riders started out lugging massive Harley-Davidsons of the day from Camden's former YMCA site on Admiral Wilson Boulevard. This weekend, they'll commandeer state-of-the art two-wheeled off-road motorcycles through the pines and soft sands of South Jersey.
A new guard took up responsibilities during later decades and the past three have brought about on-board computers and lighter, faster bikes. Fitzpatrick estimated 450 riders from all across the region participate each year. Though those numbers have been down recently due to the economy, pre-registration sign-ups for this weekend have already surpassed last year's total number of riders.
The enduro atmosphere is not to be confused with stadium-style competitions, either. There are different classes for all sorts of riders and though some may be competing for points within the East Coast circuit, others are out for a Sunday ride through the woods.
"This is a celebration, it should be able to be shared by a lot of people," said Fitzpatrick. "There are different bike classes for all ride types, not just the experienced ones."
His own involvement with the group stems from his oldest brother, who hasn't ridden Sandy Lane since 1975 but is coming back this year to participate in the anniversary run. Fitzpatrick himself went from patron to planner about six years ago, when he said it was "time to step up and take some responsibility of not only riding but putting it on."
That process is apparently no walk in the state park.
"Put it this way; the run will be March 18. A month or two after, work begins again," he said of the planning process that must consider course layout, GPS mapping and completing the proper paperwork with local government and the state Department of Environmental Protection.
What's more, Meteor works with Wharton State Forest and will participate in annual clean-up days. They've also built bridges as well as opened and maintained walking trails — neither of which are used by Meteor riders as they traverse all types of off-road conditions.
"They're even excited for us," Fitzpatrick said of the state forest board.
Readers interested in attending can visit www.meteormc.com for more information on the organization and its history. Saturday's event begins at noon and Sunday's competition kicks off at 8 a.m., with spectator sites located around the course.
If you go, Interboro Gun Club is located at 2587 Route 563, one mile north of Route 542 in Green Bank, in Mullica Township, Atlantic County.

"Cot deaths" or sudden, unexpected death in infants without an obviously preceding disease is usually limited to infants under 1 year of age and more often under 6 months of age. This is a common condition, and in the past 20 years a number of variably careful but unsatisfactory studies on the cause of this syndrome have been published. At the present time large groups of experts in laboratory medicine and various of the disciplines of pediatrics and epidemiology are concerned with determining the causes of death of these unfortunate infants. To date, virological, sociopsychological, bacteriological, anatomic, and pathological studies have been unsuccessful in delineating a common cause or even a group of common causes of significance. Unfortunately for the pathologists, as so succinctly stated by Landing, "The autopsy is a miserable device for investigating the physiological final common pathways of the mechanism of death." The excellent and careful studies

The Difference
There's a difference between wanting America to be more "Christian" out of a desire to be more comfortable (as a Christian) and what it would actually mean to have a passion to see people's lives transformed by the Gospel.
From what I observe, most Christians who demand a return to Biblical values are more concerned with their own desire to be around people who are more like them, share their opinions, etc. and less about a genuine heart for people and a passion to see the Kingdom of God advanced.
In other words, most Christians in America are more concerned with their own comfortability than they are with the conditions of people's lives and hearts outside their home.
If you want America to value the Word of God, you'll have to preach and live out the Gospel.
If you really want to put "Christ" back into Christmas, you'll have to start spending more money on the poor than on yourself. You'll have to give up some of your comfort and let go of some of your wealth in order to share some of that abundance you have with those who have nothing.
This is as much true for me as it is for anyone else.
Death to my status quo. Let His Kingdom come.

yea I think you are very correct-I have a Christian friend who is a staunch conservative who is always complaining about Obama and is worried about gun control-he is so into his rights as a Christian but he is not aware of his need to be Christ focused which would mean his willingness to suffer.

Aim to eat every 3 to 4 hours
Most people eat three meals and one snack, while others may prefer four smaller meals; you're free to find the combination that works best for you. (Search: How many calories should you eat per meal?) Timing your meals in this way will improve your fat loss by preventing excess insulin, allowing leptin to work its magic on appetite control and metabolism, and by balancing the stress hormone cortisol. You should also enjoy your meals at the same time every day.
Video: Try these 3 protein-packed salads
Eat within 1 hour of rising
Your mom was also right when she told you breakfast was the most important meal of the day. When you skip breakfast, you lose its stimulating benefits on your metabolic rate. You also become more likely to eat unbalanced meals, more calories, and larger amounts of saturated fat throughout the day. Plenty of research shows that those of us who skip breakfast are actually heavier. Missing out on a healthy morning meal also increases stress hormones.
10 Healthy Breakfasts You Haven't Tried
Never eat within 3 hours of bedtime
Eating too close to bedtime raises your body temperature, increases blood sugar and insulin, prevents the release of melatonin, and cuts down on growth hormone release. All these factors interfere with the quality of your sleep and the natural fat-burning benefits of a good night's rest. Furthermore, sleep deprivation leads to more cravings and a greater likelihood of overeating the next day.
If you must eat before bed, opt for a light meal or snack that's high in protein and low in carbohydrates and fat, such as a protein shake made with berries and water, salad with grilled chicken, or a shrimp and veggie stir-fry.
Why Your Sleep Schedule Makes You Gain
Start the day with protein
For better appetite control throughout the day, try combining your starchy carbs at lunch, dinner, or after your workouts rather than at breakfast. Stick to eggs or whey protein smoothies for breakfast and you'll eat less throughout the day.
The Healthiest Budget Breakfasts
Always eat within 45 minutes of finishing your workout
This meal or snack is the only one of the day that should not contain much fat and should be higher in carbohydrates. For example, have a smoothie made with juice, fruit, and protein powder, but no flaxseeds or oil.
Free Guide: Eat to Beat Belly Fat
Never do your weight training on an empty stomach
You will need energy from your foods to perform optimally. You may, however, complete your cardio before eating if your session will be less than 30 minutes.
Focus on your food
Do not eat while you are doing anything else (i.e., watching TV, working, surfing on the computer, etc.). Focus on chewing your food and relaxing while you eat.
Eat protein first
Eat the protein on your plate first to help speed the signal to your brain that you are full.
Drink alcohol last
If you have alcohol or wine, do so after your meal to enhance the hormones involved in appetite control and digestion.

My quick bite to eat today turned into a little something not so quick. I hate it when that happens!
I've had one of those headachey days and found myself craving Christmas cookies like a mad woman. Then I realized that I hadn't had lunch, and a good quick meal would probably fight off my urge to attack the bakery down the street. So I scrounged around, and our blessed freezer answered my plea.
Out came the frozen whole wheat burger buns, and a fake meat patty (Harvest Burger to be exact). Thawing was on the way when I was stopped dead in my tracks by the realization that I couldn't possible make this burger without grilling up some onions in red wine. And I can't have grilled onions with red wine with out horseradish too. See how this meal grows? And I can't possibly scarff this burger without running up to my softbox to take a picture!
One of the Ultimate Ways to Dress Your Burger:
Onion Jam Topping
To a sauce pan over medium heat add:
- one Tbs olive oil
- smidge of butter
- one thinly sliced small onion
- one tsp thyme
- a good glug of red wine, ½ cup
- and a good seasoning of salt and pepper
Depending on your hunger level, either slowly simmer this on low with a lid on for about 30 minutes, removing lid and evaporating liquid off… or cook over med heat with the lid off till your liquids have evaporated and the onions are cooked.
Meanwhile toast up your buns, and slather with a concotion of half horseradish half mayo or sour cream or creme fraishe with a sprinkle of black pepper.
Add a layer of onion mixture to your bottom bun, one cooked patty, a bit of lettuce, and top 'er off with your bun. And if your feeling really decadent, sneak in a slice of bacon and a slosh of bbq sauce. Hey, just because your being seduced doesn't mean you aren't willing!

A couple years ago, while pregnant with M, I read on a parenting forum about being trapped in a wardrobe rut, always wearing the dreaded "Mom Uniform", khakis and a button-down shirt. At the time, I chuckled and made a mental note to mix up my body coverings once baby was born. After M was born, however, I found myself in the Totally Let Myself Go Uniform - I wore the same PJs all day (and night) several days in a row, even though they stunk of spit up.

text: Hi, I have recently noticed a vibration that occurs at VERY low speed - such as below 0mph and 1mph, while just starting (or stopping). The best way to describe this vibration is that it feels somewhat similar to going over a rumble-strip - but not quite so intense. It only happens for a very short time while just starting off (or coming to a stop) - and then goes away. You almost have to try to make it happen. If I try to carefully control the increase of the car's speed, I can -sort of- extend the amount of time that this happens. I certainly have to be on the 'look out' to notice this and attempt to make it happen to really identify it. Otherwise, (if I accelerate too quickly i.e.: normally) it just feels like a couple of bumps in the road. I think I read on here somewhere something about a breakdown of the winding insulation that provides such an effect? Has anyone else ever experienced something similar? Is there any straightforward way (perhaps with a scan gauge or other tool) to conclusively diagnose this? Any other experiences/guidance would be appreciated. Of course, I need to bring it to the dealer, but based on how difficult it is to 'find' this problem (if it is a problem) and how short lived it's effect is - I can imagine that getting the dealer to acknowledge it as a problem will be a challenge. Thanks much, Eric

A 47-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after four people were stabbed in a North York office building.
Police were called to 4110 Yonge St, north of York Mills Rd, at about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Det Dan Darnbrough says an employee was in the process of being fired when he attacked two of his superiors, stabbing them.
Darnbrough says a third manager then ran over and was also stabbed.
When a group of employees rushed to subdue the suspect, a fourth person was knifed in the upper arm.
One of the managers, a woman, is still in critical condition in hospital.
Det Darnbrough says police are still unsure whether the weapon used was a knife or scissors.
When police arrived, they arrested the suspect. He was escorted into a police car with blood on his hands. When he turned his head towards a CTV camera, he smiled and nodded.
Chuang Li now faces 11 charges, including three counts of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of assault with a weapon.
Ceridian Dayforce, the HR company where the stabbing took place, released the following statement on Wednesday afternoon:
ATTENTION MEDIA: Please make statement attributable to David Ossip, Chief Executive Officer and Dave MacKay, President, Ceridian
Ceridian's first concern is always the safety and well-being of our employees. At approximately 9:30 a.m. today, four Ceridian employees were attacked by a former employee at our Toronto office.
Out of respect for the privacy of the individual and their family, we are not able to share or comment on the specifics of the individual's condition but all four employees are being treated by medical experts at area hospitals.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. As you might imagine, this is a very difficult time. The entire Ceridian family is shocked and deeply saddened by this incident.
We are working closely with the Toronto Police Department and are offering our full cooperation during their investigation. Because this incident is currently under investigation, we are not able to provide any additional information. Please contact the Public Information Officer with the Toronto Police Department at416-808-7100.

The much dreaded Ebola disease which has been ravaging the people of eastern Kailahun district is now confirmed to have moved up to the northern town of Mambolo in the Kambia district where there are two confirmed Ebola cases and ten other persons having blood samples collected from them as possibly infected with Ebola.
This was disclosed on Sunday 8th June 2012 to Awareness Times in Kambia by Mr. Hassan Kanu of Kambia District Health Management Team (DHMT) of the Ministry of Health & Sanitation.
Mr. Hassan Kanu who is the Disease Surveillance Officer for Kambia district and the Ministrys official spokesperson for Kambia told Awareness Times that a certain driver was recently doing assignment in Koindu, Kissi Teng chiefdom of Kailahun and upon his return to his residence in Mambolo town of Kambia, he later developed symptoms of Ebola. Shortly after, the wife of the driver also developed symptoms of Ebola and when their blood samples were sent to be checked by the Mambolo paramedics, they both proved positive as infected with Ebola. The two (driver and wife) are now isolated for treatment in Kenema.
According to competent Kambia sources, there are now concerns that the driver might have also transferred the infection to the fishing islands of Yeliboya and Kortimoh because he was known to have also been recently involved in transporting fish for people from those islands.
However, Hassan Kanu said ten contacts of the Ebola infected duo of Mambolo, have had blood samples drawn from them which have now been sent to Kenema Ebola laboratories for testing.
Kambia District Medical Officer has over this past weekend led a team from Kambia town into Mambolo town to raise awareness and sensitise the residents on the dangers of Ebola.
It can be recalled that a devastating outbreak of Ebola in Kailahun was poorly managed when the news first broke. Carelessness has now led to widespread infection of residents in the Kissi chiefdoms bordering neighbouring countries of Liberia and Guinea as well as another major Kailahun locality known as Jawei chiefdom whose headquarters of Daru town and its surrounding villages have been particularly hit by the illness.
Madam Miatta Kargbo poses with Kawusu-Konte, 1 of 3 State House staff whom, as Kailahun citizens lay dying, mocked around on Facebook about what was laughed and joked to be discussed as a so-called Human Ebola
The infection and widespread deaths in Kailahun have left traditional rulers, honourable parliamentarians and ordinary residents weeping and wailing. The wife and children of the Paramount Chief of Jawei, P.C. Musa Ngoumbuklah Kallon II have been admitted as they are very sick with the Ebola virus. The two wives of a key traditional ruler, the Section Chief of a section located just 6 miles from Daru, have also been infected as have many other residents of the chiefdom. In one village alone, an entire family has been wiped out.
The Honourable Parliamentarian for neighbouring Constituency 07 (Segbwema), Hon. Abu Jajua, has lost his sister who died from Ebola infection. The sister was a Maternal & Child Healthcare (MCH) nurse who had been amongst those treating late Nurse Messie Konneh, another MCH nurse from Koindu, Kissi Teng.
Nurse Konneh had been infected with Ebola in Koindu and in a glaring sign of failure of the Health Ministry, the poor nurse, with symptoms of Ebola, was not tested for Ebola but was left in the border town of Koindu until her condition totally deteriorated. At this point, her husband, Sheku Konneh was summoned from Daru to take her from Koindu and try to provide better medical check-up than what was available in Koindu.
Not knowing his wife was infected with Ebola, Mr. Sheku Konneh brought her for treatment to Bombohun in Jawei and then from Bombohun, on the way to Kenema from Daru, the poor nurse died. Innocently, still not informed it could be Ebola, her corpse was washed & prepared for burial by her mother, sisters & other women. All these women have since died from Ebola. The mother of Nurse Konneh, her sisters and the husband, Sheku Konneh have all died from Ebola.
Furthermore, Jawei health staff who treated late Messie Konneh, have all now died or are said to be in critical condition from Ebola.
According to Charles Mambu of the civil society organisation known as Health For All Coalition, up to 70% of those who have died from Ebola in recent days, have been frontline staff of Ministry of Health & Sanitation. Paramedics like Aruna Kallon, the Community Health Officer in charge of Daru and Jawei Chiefdom of Constituency 06, has painfully died from the Ebola he contacted from Nurse Messie Konneh. Similarly, unconfirmed but highly credible reports indicate that some one dozen of Health Ministrys nursing staff & birth attendants in Kailahun, have to date, been infected with Ebola.
Awareness Times can confirm that despite the fact that Ebola was known to be raging in Guinea and also found in neighbouring Liberia, the Health Ministry did not send protective clothing to many of our hardworking MCH nurses and paramedics in Kailahun.
Furthermore, the Rapid Response Diagnostic Test Kits for Kailahun district which would have helped in differential diagnosis to eliminate non-Ebola conditions, had EXPIRED since March 2014.
It can be recalled that when the news first broke that Ebola had hit Sierra Leone, the Minister of Health & Sanitation, Madam Miatta Kargbo, in a callous show of insensitivity, had publicly blamed the dead victims as having caused their deaths by not listening to what she said were the orders she gave to citizens about how to avoid contacting Ebola. However, with the deaths from Ebola of so many innocent nursing and paramedic staff in Kailahun, dying for lack of protective gears, it is unclear right now as to whom Minister Miatta Kargbo will blame for the deaths of so many of her ministrys innocent health care staff in Kailahun district.
This newspaper can also confirm that since the outbreak, the Ministry is yet to transform the Koindu Community Health Center into a Field Hospital. Rather, folks of Kissi Kingdom have been all but abandoned by Ministry of Health and Sanitation. The ministry is claiming they have not built the proposed MSF Isolation tents because Koindu folks are stoning their vehicle out of town. However, this newspaper can confirm that the place where the ministrys vehicle got stoned, was Korosur village and not Koindu. The ministrys insensitiveness to locals deaths plus glaring lack of proper sensitisation of those areas about Ebola, led to that singular incident. Truthfully, implications of this abandonment of the Kissi Kingdom chiefdoms, are enormous.
As has been displayed with the new emergence of Ebola infection in Mambolo, up Kambia, the fact is that no area of Sierra Leone is safe from an Ebola epidemic if Kissi people continue to be left abandoned.

The Jacksonville Jaguars – despite having just eight wins on the season, being injury plagued and having a severe lack of talent and depth – showed Sunday they still have something left in the tank and that they haven't given up yet.
Despite being written off by the media, and to be honest myself, the Jaguars showed some grit Sunday in the face of the vaunting Houston Texans.
All season long I have stood on the sidelines and seen a bunch with long faces, hung heads and unmotivated play — but their play was different this week.
The Jaguars were throttled by the Texans in their first meeting – and on their own turf no less. But they weren't about to let that happen a second time, instead the Jaguars dug deep and played like a team with something to prove.
Even though they lost in overtime, they showed me several things:
Blackmon shines
Rookie receiver Justin Blackmon looked like the No. 5 overall pick (despite not having breakaway speed on several catches). Still, he showed why the Jaguars drafted him so high – snagging seven receptions for a career high 236 yards and one touchdown.
More importantly he held on to the football this week, as drops have plagued him and the team all season long.
He still has a long way to go, but his arrow is pointing up.
Henne plays more than respectable
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert was injured early on, with what looked like a bruised elbow (or possibly a contusion), and Chad Henne took over. It seemed all but over, yet Henne somehow managed to not only keep the Jaguars in the game, but give them a multi-score lead.
He isn't the best quarterback, and I have been told by several Miami Dolphins fans that he is the worst quarterback in history, but he played solid Sunday.
Still this is Gabbert's team, and will be for the foreseeable future.
Running games does need MJD
The loss of running back Maurice Jones-Drew, out indefinitely with a foot injury, has proved to hamper an already anemic offense. The Jaguars want to be a balanced team, but Rashard Jennings doesn't seem to be as good as we thought he was in the preseason.
He is a good player, and very may well be a starter some day, but he just doesn't have that same spark as Jones-Drew.
Passing game is better without MJD
As he impacts the run game, he equally affects the pass game.
Without Jones-Drew on the field, the passing attack is much more prevalent. That is because the team isn't being forced to feed the best player on the field and because of that the Jaguars passing attack is much better with him out of the picture entirely.
When you don't have a player who demands touches, because he is that dynamic, you are no longer hamstrung and are free to spread the ball around.
Defensive talent needs a major upgrade
The backups on the team are simply atrocious – hence the reason they are backups. This problem falls solely on the shoulders on General Manager Gene Smith, and will likely cost him his job at season's end.
Smith's job is to bring talent into the locker room; talent that the coaches them mold and fit into their scheme to produce a winning product. It is a simple process, which unfortunately Smith has shown the inability to grasp. Instead he seems to fall in love with players who simply don't have the talent necessary to make an impact at this leve.
Free agent acquisitions, such as Aaron Ross, have also been less than adequate this year. The team hit gold in 2011, improving one of the worst defensive units to being one of the best – injuries have changed that this year, but the secondary has regressed significantly.
The season isn't over yet, and the team's book isn't completely written. We may know what the overall ending may be, but the details along the way are what will determine if it is a book worth reading or not.
If the team can show progress and develop into something somewhat resembling a competitive team (like they did Sunday) they will have the building blocks for the next rebuilding of a franchise that has been in a rebuilding mode for the better part of a decade.
The Jaguars next face the up-and-down Tennessee Titans (unfortunately at home). I will be on the sideline taking pictures, expect a blog that night breaking down what I saw on the field and sidelines.

VIA VT82XX - No Sound in 3.0
I did a fresh install of 3.0 and installed the 2.6.26 kernel. After fighting all day to get my ATI card installed, I discover I have no sound. I'm using the onboard HDA VIA VT82xx sound. When I open the "Sound preferneces" and try the test tone in "Sound Events" with it set to "autodetect", receive an error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused Variations on that mesage for all other sections when set to default. If I set to use ACL660-VD Analog (which I assume is my onboard), I can hear the test tone fine, but no sound anywhere else. Almost everything I found on Google about this problem all point to PulseAudio but so far as I can tell, 64 Studio is fairly clean of that mess, unless I'm missing it. This same system works like a champ under in Hardy and Mint with OSSv4 installed (cause I can't stand PulseAudio). I tried using an old C-Media card I had laying around and I got the same results as the the onboard only with a ton of static (the card might have been bad..I dunno.It was ancient). Main reason I don't install OSSv4 here is 1) I'm not familiar with the rt-kernel to know how that would work and, 2) I don't think JACK and OSSv4 play nice together but I could be wrong on that one. System Specs: Mobo: ECS P4M890T-M CPU: Intel 3.33 Core 2 Duo RAM: 2 gigs GPU: ATI HD 2600xt Hope that helps a bit.

Great Performances at the Met: Anna Bolena
Friday, July 12 at 9:00 p.m.
The Metropolitan Opera production of Donizetti's "Anna Bolena" stars soprano Anna Netrebko in the tour-de-force title role.
The opera, a compelling dramatization of the tragic final days of Anne Boleyn—whose husband Henry VIII spurns her and has her sentenced to death—is directed by David McVicar and conducted by Marco Armiliato.
The cast includes Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Anna's romantic rival, Giovanna (Jane Seymour); Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov as the cruel Enrico (Henry VIII); American tenor Stephen Costello as Anna's first love, Lord Percy; and American mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford as the queen's devoted page Smeton.

I did something last week that I haven't done since I was 12; something that only a small minority of today's kids do regularly: walk to school.
The occasion was National Walk to School Day, organized locally by the County of Maui's Department of Public Works (DPW) and co-sponsored by the Nutrition and Physical Activity Coalition Maui and the Maui YMCA's Pioneering Healthier Communities. Mayor Alan Arakawa led a group of 25 Wailuku Elementary School students and a handful of parents, along with Council Member Don Couch and representatives of the sponsoring organizations. You probably didn't see us, because we followed a safe route mapped out by the DPW Traffic Engineering Section, avoiding major highways and busy street crossings.
We gathered at the corner of Kehalani Parkway and Komo Ohia Street, mauka of Honoapiilani Highway. Just before we stepped off at 7:15, a perfectly full rainbow appeared just above us in the West Maui Mountains, an auspicious start to our morning stroll. The kids treated it as a fun adventure, chattering and chuckling all along the three-quarter mile route. So did the grown-ups, but not as boisterously. I wasn't the only one who hadn't had her coffee yet.
By the time we reached the school, though, coffee was no longer on my mind. The fruit juice provided by the sponsors tasted better than any cuppa Joe would have at that moment. Because at that moment, I was a kid again, warmed up for a day of discovery and delight.
From kindergarten through the 6th grade, walking to school was not an option for me, because I lived in Wailuku and attended Makawao School. I did, however, walk to after-school Japanese language classes at Makawao Hongwanji. Those half-hour jaunts provided some of the best moments of my elementary school years. Most days, the time passed quickly as my friend Lee Ann and I walked and talked our way up Baldwin and down Makawao avenues. Sometimes I had to walk alone, but I enjoyed those solitary journeys as well.
With no one to talk to, I often turned my attention to the sights along my path and found all sorts of intrigue in the mundane. I fantasized tiny trolls peeking out from the crevices of rockwalls and sidewalk cracks, an enchanted toad in a rotting tree stump, a community of menehune hidden in overgrown pastureland. I imagined the domestic conversations of the birds I spotted in their nests and the earthworms and sow bugs I stopped to play with.
Of course, every walk to Japanese school, with or without company, included a stop at Iwaishi Store for 6-cent chocolate Cokes and penny candy.
By the time I transferred to the 7th grade at Lihikai School, just a couple of blocks from our Kahului home, walking to (or from) school lost its appeal. My new friends and I preferred to be dropped off by our parents. Or, better yet, an older sibling on his way to high school, especially if any of us had a crush on said sibling. Besides, there were no candy stores or soda fountains in the neighborhood.
My son also preferred riding to school, as I think most kids do nowadays. And I believe that many parents are more comfortable with dropping off their children than having them walk through traffic and other outdoor hazards. In the 1960s, only 20 percent of schoolchildren arrived by car. Today the statistics are reversed.
The Walk to School folks are hoping to change that with their Walking Bus concept. On Walk to School days, students meet at the designated Walking Bus stop and follow the established safe route, accompanied by parents and volunteers, picking up other bus walkers along the way. The Wailuku El bus is the first of several planned for Central Maui schools.
If you'd like to get your child on the bus or get involved yourself, please call or email Kurt Watanabe at the county's Traffic Engineering Section (270-7745 or firstname.lastname@example.com). He's one of the folks who've worked for months on this wellness initiative and his son Kip is an enthusiastic bus walker. Kurt is a bright and personable young man, and I would say that even if he didn't happen to be family.
Last week's Walk to School was such a pleasant morning eye-opener, it almost made me wish I had a school-age child again. Then I came to my senses and realized that I don't need a child or a school to start my day with a healthy stroll. All I have to do is drag my butt out of bed an hour earlier than usual.
I'll do that. As soon as I find a route that includes a stop for chocolate Cokes.

Lesson Plan
Making Models of the Solar System
Teach the positions, relative distances, and sizes of the planets in the solar system.
- Grades: 1–2
- Unit Plan:
Students make several models of the solar system to learn the positions of the planets in the solar system as well as relative distances and sizes.
Students will:
- Make several models of the solar system.
- Identify the planets by size, shape, color, features, and position in the solar system.
- Practice key vocabulary words.
- Ask and answer questions.
Model #1: Relative Distance Clothesline Model
- Yellow construction paper
- Piece of clothesline, 10-feet long
- Eight 1- by 6-inch strips of oaktag
- 9 clothespins
Model #2: Take-Home Picture for Refrigerator Door (Position of Planets)
Each student makes an individual picture to take home and post on their refrigerator. This is a study aid as they memorize the planets.
- 12- by 18-inch black construction paper
- Clear tape
- Yellow construction paper for sun
- Copies of planets on copy paper. All the planets will fit on one piece of 8 1/2- by 11-inch copy paper. Here are the dimensions of the diameters of the planets. Draw the big ones first, then fit the others around the outside.
Sun: semicircle of yellow construction paper with diameter of 6"
Mercury: 3/4-inch diameter circle
Venus: 1 1/4 inches
Earth: 1 3/8 inches
Mars: 1 inch
Jupiter: 4 3/4 inches
Saturn: 3 5/8 inches, with rings 7 3/4 inches
Uranus: 1 3/4 inches, with rings 2 3/4 inches
Neptune: 1 1/2 inches, with rings 2 3/4 inches
- Crayons
- Scissors
- Glue sticks
- Pencils and Sharpies
- Books with color photos of the planets
Model #3: Relative-Size Model for Hallway or Gym
This big model is best made one planet at a time for the larger planets. Roll of butcher/bulletin board paper. I use brown but any color will do.
- Tempera paints and brushes, old newspapers
- Tracing patterns for smaller planets
- String cut to the radius of the larger planets
- Masking tape to piece together butcher paper
- Picture books with photos to refer to for colors
Set Up and Prepare
Model #1: Relative Distance Clothesline Model
- Put up clothesline across blackboard or bulletin board, low enough for children to reach it. (I use magnets with clips.)
- Draw sun with 6-inch diameter on yellow paper. Label and cut out.
- Write names of planets on oaktag strips.
Model #2: Take-Home Picture for Refrigerator Door (Position of Planets)
- Make a sample ahead of time.
- Make copies of planets page for each child and a few extras.
- Cut black paper in half the long way. Tape two pieces together with clear tape.
- Make semicircular pattern for the sun. Diameter of semicircle is 6 inches.
Model #3: Relative-Size Model for Hallway or Gym
- Trace the larger planets on paper. Have a second person hold one end of string on the center of the paper and use a pencil on the other end like a compass to make circles. While children can paint and cut out larger planets, they will need help with the drawing.
- Dimensions of the diameter of planets are:
Mercury: 1½ inches
Venus: 3 3/4 inches
Earth: 3 7/8 inches
Mars: 2 inches
Jupiter: 44 1/4 inches (Tape butcher paper together to get desired width.)
Saturn: 37 1/8 inches
Uranus: 16 inches
Neptune: 15 1/4 inches
- Mix a few of the colors, like blue-green, red-orange, etc., ahead of time.
Model #1: Relative Distance Clothesline Model
Step 1: Talk with class as you set up this model with their help.
Step 2: Put sun on one end of clothesline. Discuss what "solar" means. Talk about sun as star.
Step 3: Put up the planets with the children's help and as you do, talk about inner and outer planets and asteroid belt.
Planets should be the following distances from the sun:
Mercury: 1 inch
Venus: 1 1/2 inches
Earth: 2 inches
Mars: 3 inches
Jupiter: 11 1/2 inches
Saturn: 19 inches
Uranus: 38 inches
Neptune: 60 inches
Model #2: Take-Home Picture for Refrigerator Door (Position of Planets)
Step 1: Color the planets. Refer children to books with color photos. Using accurate colors is important.
Step 2: Trace and cut out semicircular sun. Sun should be the full width of long black paper. Glue sun to left side of paper.
Step 3: Cut out planets and glue to paper. It's a good idea to cut out the inner planets first, one at a time, and glue them on because they're small and likely to get lost.
Step 4: Add labels. For labels on black paper, use white crayon. For other labels use pencils and Sharpies.
Step 5: If you have a laminator, laminate so models last longer
Step 6: Send home with a note to parents asking them to post picture on the refrigerator and help their child learn the names and positions of the planets.
Model #3: Relative-Size Model for Hallway or Gym
Step 1: Students trace smaller planets onto butcher paper. Teacher helps sketch larger planets.
Step 2: Paint and cut out.
Step 3: Put up in hallway. It's impossible to show relative distance with this model.
Supporting All Learners
Understanding the solar system at age 7 is challenging and beyond some children. Developmentally they aren't "there yet." I take comfort in the knowledge that the curriculum spirals through the grades and students will study the solar system again in 4th grade.
Lesson Extensions
Solar System Made From Foods
- Sun - Giant pumpkin or giant orange garbage bag stuffed with newspaper.
- Mercury - Coffee bean
- Venus - Large blueberry
- Earth - Cherry
- Mars - Pea
- Jupiter - Large grapefruit or cantaloupe
- Saturn - Very large orange
- Uranus - Kiwi
- Neptune - Apricot or nectarine
Home Connection
Depending on where you live, there may be a planetarium at a science center or an observatory at a local college. Look into these possibilities, both as potential family excursions and/or field trips. Suggest family outings in your weekly newsletter.
- Explain things simply and carefully?
- Clear up any misconceptions?
- Encourage students to pay attention to detail and do their personal best?
- Circulate and supervise activities adequately?
- Spend enough time with those who struggle or have disabilities?
- Part of Collection:
- Subjects:Drawing and Painting, Paper Crafts, Time and Measurement, Planets, Moons, Solar Systems, Science Experiments and Projects

Intellectual Property Rights and Traditional Knowledge: The Case of Yoga
Ravi Srinivas Krishna
Research Information System for Developing Countries (RIS)
Economic & Political Weekly, Vol. 47, No. 27-28, pp. 2866-2871, July 2007
Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) related to traditional knowledge (TK) have been controversial and there has been accusations of bio-piracy and unauthorized appropriation of TK in the form of patents etc. There were reports that patents on Yoga had been granted by U.S. PTO and this was later denied. Patents on accessories, devices that enable practice and teaching of Yoga have been granted. Similarly there many trademarks related to Yoga have been granted. The copyright claims of the founder of Bikram Yoga have been controversial and the cases on these copyright claims have been settled out of court. Yoga with origins in India has become part of global consumer culture and has been transformed into what is called as 'transnational yoga'. Hence it has many meanings in different contexts. This article addresses the controversies and discusses the complexities involved in intellectual property rights related to Yoga.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 8

Dare Tabloid Reprint, February 1991April 13, 2010 11 comments Print Article
This is a reprint of the February 1991 Dare Tabloid, a vaguely monthly review and issues magazine about Jacksonville from the late 80s to the early 90s. In it are contained reviews of old theater shows, the full panorama of the nightclub scene, local issues and politicians and satirical essays. The February 1991 Issue was built around misadventures with an abnormally large group of neo nazis and skinheads which had formed in town, the ongoing controversy over the use of Tommy Hazouri's toupe as a mayoral campaign issue and how much livestock did it take before the area's finest hotels would cancel a reservation.

There is an executable called xsend.exe that was included with some
distributions of Kermit. It's purpose was to create a recursive listing
as a kermit script. Not quite as handy as having recursive built in,
but I used it to back up my PC to a Unix box on a serial link in the
early 90's.
There it is, in the utils folder of the msvibm.zip
has msixse.c and .exe, which looks like it might be the same thing.

Following a year and three months of serving as interim dean, Dr. William J. McIntyre was recently named the Dean of the College of Health Sciences and Human Services at The University of Texas-Pan American.
"I was obviously pretty excited about being chosen dean. For me, having spent most of my academic life in pharmacy, interacting with all the different professions in the college has been refreshing and exciting," McIntyre said. He looks forward to dealing with the many challenges the different programs face in training their students.
The College includes the Departments of Nursing, Social Work, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitative Services as well as Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Dietetics and Physician Assistant programs. The College also has a cooperative pharmacy program with The University of Texas at Austin.
"McIntyre was chosen because of his understanding of health science programs and his extensive administrative experience. He brings an excellent background in developing new programs and in working effectively with faculty," Arévalo said.
McIntyre obtained both his bachelor's degree and doctorate in pharmacy from Wayne State University in Michigan. He served his pharmacy residency at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan and a clinical residency at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, where he became assistant director of the Department of Pharmacy and an assistant professor in UK's College of Pharmacy.
McIntyre said one of his most memorable career moments occurred during his pediatric oncology rotation. During this time he gave ongoing advice and information to a poor and underprivileged family from Appalachia about the drug treatment required for their eight-year-old son with leukemia. After six months of helping the family who had no phone and traveled 100 miles each way for care, the child made a special trip at Halloween to give McIntyre an apple to thank him for his help.
"I tell my students that the more apples you get in your career is what matters - not the awards, publications or money. Those apples make you feel good about what you are doing," he said.
After a fellowship in cancer immunology through UT Austin's Health Science Center in Austin, McIntyre spent a number of years on the faculty at The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. McIntyre returned to Texas in 2000 to serve as assistant dean and associate professor for the Cooperative Pharmacy Program at UTPA.
McIntyre has garnered many honors during his professional career including being nominated for the American College of Clinical Pharmacology educator award in 2002. Currently involved in an extensive list of University committees, McIntyre has been a member of the Programming Committee for the Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) to be located across the street from the College's offices on the UTPA campus.
McIntyre is an active member of numerous national, regional and state professional organizations and has established a long list of publications, speeches and research grant work with a special interest in cancer treatment. Current research projects also include a study on the ethnicity of enrollees in Texas Colleges of Pharmacy, focusing on why there is not more Hispanic pharmacy faculty.
With all programs externally accredited, McIntyre said most of the College's programs are academically sound. Fortunately, he said, the requirement of most programs in this College to pass a board or certification exam in order to work in the profession provides an external gauge of performance.
"Our nursing program this year did very well. December 2002 graduates had a pass rate on their state board exam between 92 and 96 percent, which was above that of UT Austin nursing graduates," McIntyre said.
Among short term goals for the College, McIntyre hopes to improve the student retention rate and increase the number of faculty doing research.
"One of this college's key missions is to do research that will have an impact on the quality of life of the people in the Rio Grande Valley. It is our duty to the community," McIntyre said.
He hopes to identify more people and areas of interest in the various college departments for collaboration in research projects, particularly in the areas of wellness and child and domestic abuse. McIntyre also hopes that increased research opportunities will create an atmosphere that will stimulate the students' interest in pursuing advanced degrees and becoming faculty members themselves.
Long term goals for the College identified by McIntyre include establishing some doctoral level programs and offering more online programs for Valley students.

Bringing sight to the invisible
March 18, 2009 Invisibility has been a staple of science fiction, (and my own personal fantasies), for decades and in recent years we've watched as fiction edges ever closer to reality through the use of metamaterials. The problem with most of the devices currently being researched however, is that since they totally encompass the object being rendered invisible, they are also rendered blind as well, which kind of defeats the purpose. After all what's the point of being invisible if you can't actually see around the girl's locker room. But a team from Hong Kong's University of Science and Technology believes they have come up with an answer to this problem and that it is indeed possible to create a cloaking device that would be able to render an object invisible without encompassing it.
Currently such a device only exists in theory – which is to say not at all – but the team consisting of Che Ting Chan, Yun Lai, Huanyang Chen and Zhao-Qing Zhang have published their ideas in Physical Review Letters: "Complementary Media Invisibility Cloak that Cloaks Objects at a Distance Outside the Cloaking Shell," that details how such a device could be made reality. As Che Ting Chan tells PhysOrg.com, "We haven't built the device, but we have shown mathematically how it could work. It is a very specific description of the materials needed. If you have the time and resources, we think it could be done."
So for anyone with the time, resources and inclination how would such a device work – theoretically? Well, theoretically, the device would rely on complementary media. As Chan explains, "Our strategy is to put the cloaking device and the object to be cloak next to each other. The cloaking device is a kind of anti-object. The way the light is gathered and scattered by the two objects - the cloaking device and the object it is making invisible - would cancel each other out." Chan points out that the cloaking device would also be rendered invisible – in theory. Chan admits that the theory would only provide complete invisibility for one wavelength – even if an object was made invisible for the visible spectrum, it would still be visible on radar - which limits its military usefulness somewhat.
Since the ideas are only theories, who knows if or when we'll see, (or won't see), a real world demonstration of such invisibility technology. But the team aren't solely concerned with making objects invisible, they say that is just the first step at understanding how to use complementary media to transform how and object looks. Anyone who has seen me first thing in the morning would understand what truly worthy research this is.

HONOLULU - A state Senate committee is pushing to increase the state minimum wage by $2 to $9.25 per hour.
The move comes a day after President Barack Obama called for a federal wage hike from $7.25 to $9 in his State of the Union address.
Hawaii's hourly minimum wage is set at $7.25.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to increase the wage to $9.25 over the next two years.
The committee also voted to adjust the wage along with inflation starting in 2016.
The committee's action brought concern from Maui Chamber of Commerce President Pamela Tumpap.
"Our businesses are still trying to recover" from the recession, she said Wednesday. "They are already hit with already-higher costs on different fronts."
She added that health care, electricity and gas are just some of the other costs that could increase for local businesses.
Tumpap said raising the minimum wage could force employers to tinker with the wage scales of all employees so that those employees with more experience and seniority are fairly compensated for their work while other workers earn the new higher minimum wage.
Tumpap added that tying wages to inflation as proposed would bring many problems because wages would fluctuate automatically without businesses having a chance to argue their case with politicians or other government officials.
"It takes the voice of business out of the equation moving forward. It takes an unstable economy out of the equation," she said.
Tumpap added that the bill does not look at two sides of the matter and doesn't factor in how businesses would need to cope.
"We don't feel that this bill has been adequately weighed in terms of the impact on businesses, and it's moving forward," she said.
The committee originally considered the matter last week but met again Wednesday to revise wording of the bill.
Senate Judiciary Committee Vice Chairwoman Maile Shimabukuro said the increase is necessary to help Hawaii residents afford the state's high cost of living.
"There really is a disconnect between the cost of living in Hawaii and the wages you earn in Hawaii," Shimabukuro told The Associated Press.
She said she knows homeless people who work but still can't afford rent in Hawaii.
"There's something wrong with that picture," she said.
Several social service nonprofits support the bill and urged lawmakers to adopt it during a public hearing last week.
The groups were opposed by members of Hawaii's business community.
Daniel Nellis, of Dole Food Co., said the increase would hurt Hawaii's agricultural industry, which relies on affordable unskilled labor.
Jenai Wall, chairman of Foodland Supermarket Ltd., said the proposed increase would force the supermarket to cut jobs and reduce benefits.
Tim Lyons, vice president of the Hawaii Business League, said it's unfair to compare Hawaii's wages with other states because Hawaii businesses have to pay for health care and other benefits under state law.
"Given today's realities, there is no extra money for most companies to pay more wages," Lyons said.
Sen. Sam Slom, the only Republican in Hawaii's 25-member state Senate, was the only committee member to oppose the wage hike. Democrats have control over both of Hawaii's legislative chambers.
The minimum wage increase is part of Gov. Neil Abercrombie's agenda this year.
The Democratic governor told lawmakers in January that he wants the minimum wage to increase by $1.50 by next year.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has stopped the execution of a man convicted of fatally shooting three teenage housemates in Amarillo more than 14 years ago.
Justices decided Wednesday to halt the punishment until it resolves an appeal seeking review of John Balentine's case. The reprieve for the 43-year-old inmate came less than an hour before the former auto mechanic's scheduled execution in Huntsville.
Balentine was in a holding cell outside the execution chamber in Huntsville when he learned of the stay at about 5:30 p.m., TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark said. The defendant was smiling and had no comment on his third execution since his 1999 conviction for fatally shooting three Amarillo teens, Clark said.
Balentine is now on a bus headed back to the Polunksy Unit in Polk County, which houses death row inmates, Clark said.
Balentine has had three execution dates in as many years. Last year, the justices stopped his scheduled lethal injection, also about an hour before it was to have occurred.
Balentine's lawyer argues deficient legal help at his client's trial and earlier appeals. The lawyer also said the case deserves review so jurors can consider his poor, abusive childhood before deciding punishment.
State attorneys opposed the appeal.
