Shanghai, Atlanta, September 12, 2011 — CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), an enterprise software provider of on-premise and cloud deployments, announced today that Orscheln Farm & Home, a leading Midwest retailer, is using CDC eCommerce as its storefront cloud platform to operate its first online commerce business that will help expand the market for its farm and home products and related supplies.
Founded in 1960 by W.C. Orscheln, this family-owned business is a leading Midwestern retailer serving rural and suburban customers at more than 150 retail store locations. Stores are located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The Moberly, Missouri-based company offers livestock feed, pet food and animal health supplies, hardware, plumbing, electrical, automotive, toys, housewares, clothing and lawn and garden supplies.
CDC Software's latest hybrid customer, Orscheln Farm & Home, is using CDC Supply Chain, a supply chain, order management and warehouse management system, to manage the fulfillment side of its business. While the company has steadily grown over the years, Orscheln believed it could increase revenues with the addition of an online business. Orscheln chose CDC eCommerce for its breadth of multi-channel features and its multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, as well as the already established relationship it enjoyed with CDC Software through the CDC Supply Chain solution.
"CDC eCommerce offered us all the key features of an advanced multi-channel online storefront without the enormous costs and IT resources typically required if we had developed this ourselves," said Tony Corradi, CIO at Orscheln Farm & Home. Tony Corradi further noted that "This cloud eCommerce platform enables us to offer multi-channel retailing capabilities in our commerce strategy. It also helps us build new customer relationships, by increasing the visibility of our brand online and expanding our selling opportunities beyond the Midwest. With our new online business, we are not only offering our customers multi-channel shopping, but also facilitating their buying experience, all of which impacts offline sales. For instance, our online store offers customers the capability of being able to view product inventory at the store level."
Corradi concluded, "Our eCommerce store truly reflects the Orscheln family's goals, which the company has followed since the last century: 'To be mindful of the people we serve, to consider their needs, to give the best we have to offer, and to create an environment that encourages innovation and individual growth.' We take pride in upholding those family tenets through the years and in promoting our latest innovation for our customers through our new eCommerce store."
"We are delighted about the successful CDC eCommerce implementation at our hybrid customer, Orscheln Farm & Home," said Bruce Cameron, president of CDC Software. "This is another great example of the cross-selling opportunities within our cloud and our on-premise solutions portfolio, which in this case included our cloud eCommerce solution and our on-premise warehouse management system. Orscheln Farm & Home's integration of CDC eCommerce and CDC Supply Chain illustrates the strong synergies and compelling benefits of our cloud and on-premise solutions."
CDC eCommerce is unique as an on demand eCommerce platform with integrated order management capabilities, online marketplace and dynamic pricing support, full front-end and back-end capabilities such as merchandising and promotions, inventory, anti-fraud and returns management, community private-sale shops, multi-language/currency, and an industry-leading "implementation time." The solution helps online retailers and manufacturers maximize customer acquisition, conversion, and retention.
With CDC eCommerce's ability to be integrated with the CDC Supply Chain solution, CDC Software believes it is at the forefront of the enterprise market by offering solutions that combine eCommerce sales origination with complete supply chain management - from suppliers, purchase orders, warehouse and distribution center management to sophisticated order routing algorithms that provide optimized-fulfillment logic for products sent to the end consumer. CDC eCommerce is one of the only on demand eCommerce platforms that supports such complete order handling.

FAU Celebrates Fall 2013 Commencement
BOCA RATON, Fla. (December 12, 2013) – Florida Atlantic University will confer more than 2,380 degrees today and tomorrow during five commencement ceremonies in the Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium, 777 Glades Road, on the Boca Raton campus. The new graduates will join more than 134,600 alumni who have graduated from FAU since the university opened its doors in 1964.
"Today marks the culmination of the hard work and successes of Florida Atlantic University's students," said FAU Interim President Dennis Crudele. "We join their family members and friends in congratulating them on reaching this major landmark in their lives."
FAU will present the President's Distinguished Service Medallion to Robert Stilley, former chair and current member of the Board of Trustees, on Friday, Dec. 13 at 9 a.m. Stilley has worked to enhance the University's growth and reputation by supporting the development of the Boca Raton campus as a traditional college campus, expanding the University's research footprint and increasing outreach to the community. Stilley is president and chief executive officer of HeartCare Imaging, Inc., a full-service diagnostic imaging service company based in Tequesta.
Fall commencement also highlights the accomplishments of outstanding graduates, including:
· Bashar Khaddam, an Iraqi native, from 2005 to 2011 served as an official Iraqi/English translator/interpreter embedded with U.S. troops in Iraq. During this period, he fulfilled a vital mission for the United States, translating at one point for the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin E. Dempsey. After his valorous service to the U.S. Military, Khaddam's boss, U.S. Capt. Daniel Eadens, took the necessary steps so that Khaddam would be granted political asylum in the United States. In 2011, Khaddam came to live with Eadens' family, and soon after, applied for graduate study in linguistics at FAU. Khaddam receives his master's degree in linguistics on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 9 a.m.
· Following years of preparation and anticipation, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is graduating 10 students from the inaugural Emerging Nurse Leader Nursing Administration and Financial Leadership class. The first academic program of its kind in the country, the inaugural cohort of emerging nurse leaders completed a rigorous curriculum that included a combination of online and traditional classes, as well as a leadership practicum for five consecutive semesters. The class will graduate on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 1 p.m.
· Mathew Hudson exemplifies a student at FAU who took advantage of every opportunity and sought out to do more and be more. An entrepreneur at heart, his story illustrates how one can find every resource needed for a successful future. Through the Android App Design and Project Management course, co-offered by the College of Business and the College of Engineering and Computer Science at FAU, Hudson and his team set off on a trajectory that would lead them to the 2013 FAU Business Plan Competition. Here Stadson Technology would take home first place of the competition and a total prize valued at more than $55,000. Hudson receives his bachelor's degree from the College of Business on Friday, Dec. 13 at 9 a.m.
"Each and every year at Commencement, I'm reminded of the impact FAU has, and will continue to have, on its students, faculty, staff, and the six-county region it serves," said Anthony Barbar, chair of FAU's Board of Trustees. "Speaking for the Trustees, I commend the Class of 2013. As an FAU alumnus myself, I'm moved and impressed by the accomplishments of this year's graduates."
Some interesting statistics regarding the fall graduating class include the fact that 79 of the degree recipients are over the age of 50. The oldest graduate is 64, and the youngest is 18. The graduates represent 53 countries.
For the convenience of family members and friends who cannot attend the commencement ceremonies, the proceedings will be cybercast at www.fau.edu .
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University, with an annual economic impact of $6.3 billion, serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. FAU is ranked as a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The University is placing special focus on the rapid development of three signature themes – marine and coastal issues, biotechnology and contemporary societal challenges – which provide opportunities for faculty and students to build upon FAU's existing strengths in research and scholarship.

You may feel defensive and find yourself struggling with insecurities today. Your concerns about what others think of you could cause you to keep your guard up to protect your feelings against criticism or disapproval. Instead of trying to defend yourself against real or imagined slights, you may want to instead devote some time to building up a solid belief in yourself because you will then be less concerned about the opinions of others. Simply find a quiet place to be alone and think about your assets and abilities. Acknowledge your strengths, and be willing to accept your weaknesses, knowing that they do not detract from who you are. The stronger your belief in yourself today, the more confident you will be, even in the face of criticism.
A strong belief in ourselves helps us feel more confident and self-assured, regardless of the responses we receive from others. Feeling defensive or intimidated by others is usually a sure sign that we are not confident within ourselves. If we make it a priority to build up a solid belief about ourselves, we immediately begin to feel more empowered. Our self-assurance grows, and we feel good about who we are. We are able to remain true to ourselves and honor ourselves, even when others may criticize or disapprove of us. By working to build up a solid belief in yourself today, you will be investing in a much stronger, confident you.

Kneel to your Lords and Masters! Sorry, I moved after 12 years in S/Cal.. I hate what has become of this state's political agenda on 2nd Amendment Rights.
Black Majik
December 25, 2003, 09:48 PM
check out packing.org
there's a lot of good info there. Basically, you'll need to apply for a CCW, stating a GOOD reason to carry. AFAIK, obtaining a good reason consists mainly of:
- being previously threatened and have record of it
- carry large amounts of money on job etc
Its pretty difficult to obtain a CCW though here in Socal. In Los Angeles County its almost impossible. Orange County, from what Ive heard is a little easier, but a tedious process.
In OC, a $90 background check is needed, interview, also CCW course, registration etc etc... Approx $500 and 2 months to obtain the license. That's brief though, check out calguns.net. a lotta cali people hang around there. I started a thread on California CCW a while ago.
Good luck... you'll need it.
December 25, 2003, 10:10 PM
Skunky should know.
December 25, 2003, 10:58 PM
Based on my CCW experience with the good folks @ OCSD - south orange county.
The process:
1. Request for a CCW application by calling the OCSD - santa ana main office.
2. Fill out the CCW app. detailing your need for a weapons permit, etc.
3. Call for an appointment to have an initial interview.
4. When you show up at the Sheriff's office - internal affairs division, make sure to wear something decent and make sure to bring all the necessary documents relating to your weapons permit application.
5. You would be ask to produce a CA driver license and the investigator assigned to you will do an initial interview. Based on what you said and documents presented to him, he may request additional paperwork to support your need for a CCW.
6. Once you have submitted all the required documents via fax, ( I personally went back to the Sheriff's office to give them the additional paperwork much faster this way).
7. The waiting begins..... They said it would take a month or two to process the paperwork.
8. After a little over 1 week, I got a letter in the mail, it said, I got approved, at that time, I was stoked. :p I was like, wow that fast.
9. Went back to the OCSD - internal affairs, pay the live scan fingerprinting check fee.
10. Jogged right across the internal affairs office down to the fingerprinting office.
11. some waiting..
12. Holy shizzz :D it only took, I think 10 days for the fingerprint results, got a call from Sabrina B. internal affairs, boy was it the hottest sounding voice I've ever heard that day and she's got the looks to back it up too.
13. OK, at this point I was told to get into a CCW class, took care of all that stuff the same week.
14. Off to the OCS-armory in Orange for a weapons check - ammo capacity, overall condition of gun, etc.
15. Headed back to internal affairs office, submitted all the final paperwork, thumbprint, signed, receive my CCW permit.
Overall, it took almost 1 month and 600+ bucks in total cost, YMMV.
December 25, 2003, 11:00 PM
I just received my California CCW in Orange County. Here is what I believe helped me. The process took about a month.
1. No criminal record. No traffic tickets even.
2. I travel to an organized shooting club at least 4 times a month and have about 5-7 guns with me in my car. I documented this with signed letters from my club.
3. I applied. For years, I just assumed I would be turned down. I was very wrong.
4. I am a clean cut 41 year old family man.
5. I very politely and succinctly explained my justification during my interview.
6. I had all my documents ready during the interview and tried to make the interviewer's job go smoothly.
7. I tried to put myself in the shoes of the interviewer. I dressed appropriately and did not lie or exaggerate.
I firmly believe in the second ammendment and I believe that we all have the born right to carry concealed without any permit or license. However, the reality in California is not according to these beliefs. I reminded myself that the people who processed my paperwork did not make these laws and my attitude was respectful and courteous. I have to say that I was treated very well by the lady that interviewed me, the person that took my fingerprints, and the armorer that checked my guns for safety. The process was not an ordeal and I was treated fairly.
(Please don't flame me and tell me how bad California is for even making me do this. I do not agree with this process. I am just explaining it. I wish we had the same freedoms as other states. Unfortunately, we don't. Someday, I hope this changes.)

December 25, 2003, 11:01 PM
Hmm... so roughly how much would re-issues be in Orange County?
Not nearly the initial cost I hope?
December 25, 2003, 11:08 PM
It should only be around, 50 bucks plus another 50 re-qual fee.
December 25, 2003, 11:33 PM
Thanks for the quick replies, there's just one catch. Does CCW needs to be a US citizen?
December 25, 2003, 11:52 PM
IIRC, I believe so, they'd ask for a place of birth( town/city and state) and check the states record/DOJ/FBI.
Try the Packing.org website or a Cali. proRKBA attorney may be able to help you out as well.
December 26, 2003, 12:21 AM
Save your Range Receipts.
OC seems to like letters of recommendations from the range...
December 26, 2003, 01:26 AM
Vega, what county are you in.
What Dave, a certain twotone odiferous critter isn't on the list of things that helped? :p
December 26, 2003, 01:30 AM
Supposedly, only orange county will allow its subjects...uh, residents, to carry and they are the only county that will issue permits to the peasants...
December 26, 2003, 01:40 AM
Clubsoda, Pretty much.. :D
And San Deigo county.
Armed peasant #01897478777
December 26, 2003, 01:44 AM
and they are the only county that will issue permits to the peasants...
There are others that, as far as I know, are fairly liberal in issuance.
Of course, CYBYWY.
December 26, 2003, 01:54 AM
OC is pretty much as Dave3006 said; I'll add that a couple of misdemeanor incidents over 20 years ago (DUI and Public Intox) didn't hurt me. Range and club letters, two personal reference letters, DD214 if you have one, took the interviewer 2 days after all paperworks submitted to dend the approval.
Just waiting on my prints check to come back (should be quick, a couple weeks total); I expect to get the weapons inspected and the permit issued sometime next week or right after the 1st. I've already completed the CCW course.
San Bernardino County is "almost" shall-issue, but they do want you to first apply (and probably get denied) by the city you live in if it has it's own PD; then you can apply to the sheriff and get permitted.
In LA County, Culver City used to be good, but the Chief there just retired and no clue yet as to whether the new CoP will be as cool. And you do have to be a resident of Culver City now, they changed the law so you couldn't get one in the city of your business address.
Oh, right, that's why you need to submit a recent utility bill in OC as well, to prove residence.
December 26, 2003, 01:59 AM
How does one get a CCW?
One moves to AZ. ;)
December 26, 2003, 02:34 AM
About half the counties in CA will issue CCws, Ventura is one, and most of the counties up north. You have to be a resident of the county.
It goes a little easier if you already have a Florida CCW, for instance, or Utah or Nevada or Arizona. It establishes already that you are a good guy.
That's the good news. The bad news is that even with your legal CCW, if you use it in San Francisco or Los Angeles counties, and the BGs are politically correct and you aren't, you will need a very good lawyer and a lot of money.
Moral, get all the CCws you want, but stay out of those two counties. There isn't anything there that a decent person would want anyway.
God bless and y'all be careful out there.:cool:
December 26, 2003, 04:40 AM
You can apply for a Florida one.. not good in the PRK.. but it just encourages you to move out of the PRK..
December 26, 2003, 08:42 AM
My apologies to the Skunk, I do not take credit for my "need statement". Mr. Skunk called me on the phone and explained that OCSD does sometimes issue to people who are frequent shooters and travel with multiple guns. To me, this was the key. And, it has to be true.
Thanks again to Skunk.
December 26, 2003, 01:11 PM
I live in Ventura County. I frequently compete ay Norco and Gunnex. I plan to compete in Piru too. DOJ allowed me to purchase 2 handguns and 1 rifle. My 2nd handgun was put on hold and my eligibility was questioned but after some researching they apologize for the delay.
December 26, 2003, 01:50 PM
Sorry if you're from Ventura Cty, I know not of the process up there :(
December 26, 2003, 03:02 PM
I thought this was about California CCWs. DOJ has nothing to do with CCWs.
In Ventura County, you go to the sheriff's office in Ventura, (the city), and ask for an application at the license desk. You fill it out (It has misprints & erroneous instructions, best to fill it out there, so you can ask questions.)
You pay a fee, get printed, and wait until you are called in for an interview. The interviewer is a sheriff's deputy, nice guy. If he sees no problem with your app and your reasons, it gets forwarded to the sheriff, who gives the final OK. You have to qualify with your weapons, we all go to North Hollywood to qualify, and the weapson (up to three) are listed on your CCW. It all takes a couple of months.
Again, I strongly suggest you have a Florida, Nevada and Utah or Arizona already in your pocket when you go in. Your reasons can be carrying lots of cash, traveling into dangerous neighborhoods on business, physical disability which impairs your ability to run away or defend yourself (anyone on blood thinnners qualifies, obviously) and so on.
There are also some cities, in LA county, which issu CCWs very readily. I am not sure, but I think Carson is one, and of course Beverly Hills gives them away to the folks that live there.
Good luck with your apps.
God bless and y'all be careful out there.:cool:
December 26, 2003, 04:08 PM

.. And San Deigo county. *8*, can you elaborate? All of us San Diegans were under the distinct impression that SD County was *Shall Not Issue* unless you had a restraining order out against someone or had a police report that your life was being threatened by someone.
What other kind of "statement of need" works in San Diego?
Okay, so P.I., gun shop employee and a few others, but for normal, real people, does anything else qualify?
December 26, 2003, 07:13 PM
Thanks for all the replies and advises guys. I'll just probably wait for my green card before I apply for CCW. I thought frequent competition would justify the CCW approval.

December 27, 2003, 02:51 PM
When some refers to the DOJ they are probably referring to the PRK DOJ. Your fingerprints and info goes through the PRK DOJ before you get cleared for the permit. I applied for my permit in the beginning of June 1999 in Kern County. The County had no problem with my application and zipped it right along. The PRK DOJ took forever and my permit was not issued until February 2000!!! However, I have a Kern County CCW permit and I carry it anywhere in the state I happen to go. I am now at the In-Laws in Contra Costa County and if they have a problem with it, they will need to deal with it. It is good state wide.
Yeah I would get your citizenship issues in line before applying. My reason was I lived in the boonies and that I worked for a boys camp whose physical location was deep in the mountains of Tulare County, the office is at the 126/I-5 interchange there in Valencia, and I transport kids, payroll, supplies between my home in rural Kern County, those two places, and South Los Angeles (formerly South Central Los Angeles), Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Ventura, and Santa Maria. I have since moved to a municipal address, but as long as I keep my permit current and don't leave Kern County, I get to keep it.
December 28, 2003, 11:18 PM
Dav, I believe the approval process in SD is about the same in OC, must justify the need for concealed carry, my employees who are based in SD were able to get a CCW with a letter from the employer. Of course, I'm Pro RKBA, so I signed it with the possibility of getting sued if one of 'em would ever decide to use deadly force to stop a life threatening situation but that is what the insurance is for.
One of the reasons why we need a CCW is that we carry/transport valuable stuff to and fro our network ops centers, among other things. ;) :D
Overall, you just need to justify the need for a permit, like what the other folks have posted, your line of work or hobbies could very well qualify you for a CCW.

If you live in a jungle or under a waterfall, Benita Brazier wants to talk to you. No, she's not part of Green Harvest, although she does work for the government. Benita is Maui County's film commissioner, coming off a banner year of movie production on the Valley Isle.
Sparked by Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter," Adam Sandler's upcoming "Just Go With It," an episode of TV's Emmy-winning "Modern Family" filmed in Wailea, and the made-on-Maui comedy "Get a Job" that premieres Sunday at the MACC, she's helped bring more than $62 million into local coffers.
Add another $10 million for "The Tempest," Julie Taymor's adaptation of the Shakespeare classic that filmed on Lanai last year and is now opening in time for awards consideration, and it's clear that movies are not only a beautiful marriage of art and commerce, but a clean, nonpolluting industry that leaves locations better than they found them.
Which is why Benita wants to see your land.
"I'm looking for tropical locations, private property with waterfalls and jungle settings," she says. They would be a nice addition to her inventory of local locations she can show to scouts for upcoming shoots.
Obviously, Maui County has been able to offer lots of different "looks" for movie shoots, but Benita wants to give Kauai and Oahu a run for the money when it comes to "Jurassic-" or "Lost"-style lushness.
In the meantime, she is also continuing efforts to get the Maui Land and Pine's landmark Kahului cannery, now closed, up and running again in a new line of work. With its wide-open floor plan and expansive, practically pillar-less open space, it's a natural.
"We are actively marketing the facility as a stage space that would include live filming as well as digital production work," she says.
But she's also focusing on private property locations, where crews can largely avoid impacting Maui infrastructure with their big trucks and other equipment. It doesn't take much to create gridlock in Paia or on Front Street getting off the beaten track is a boon for everyone.
So what's in it for you to get your land onscreen? Well, apart from maybe having the chance to schmooze for a day or two with Clint or Adam or Julie or Jennifer, the money's not bad, either.
"Location fees can run from $500 a day to upwards of $3,000 a day depending on the company," she says.

But that's not the only way to get your big break in pictures.
Maui native Destin Daniel Cretton was awarded the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting earlier this month from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. A $30,000 cash prize accompanied the prestigious fellowship, bestowed by the Hollywood academy better known for the annual awards that bear its name.
He won the prize for the screenplay of "Short Term 12," based on his experiences working at a facility for at-risk teens in San Diego. The theatrical screenplay was "loosely" based on a documentary he did on the same subject, which won the Sundance Jury Prize and made the short-list for an Oscar nomination. That was "loosely" based on his personal experience, he said during a recent phone interview.
A 1996 Maui High graduate who attended MCC for two years before completing his bachelor's degree at Point Loma Nazarene University, the 32-year-old filmmaker is finishing up work on his master's degree in film, television and new media at San Diego State University.
He's working with the production company Traction Media, whose past credits include "Half Nelson" with Ryan Gosling and "Hard Candy" with Ellen Page, hoping to direct "Short Term 12."
It will be a small, independent character-driven piece, revolving around issues of child abuse, neglect and the realities of foster care, he said of the project.
"Hopefully it will happen, but you never know with this stuff," he said with a laugh. He added that all the successes he has already achieved in his career always catch him by surprise.
"I was definitely not expecting to get it," he said of the Nicholl Fellowship. "I never expect anything to happen in my life."
And finally, aiming slightly lower, a bunch of us are getting our own break in the movie business this week, with Sunday's benefit premiere party for the made-on-Maui comedy "Get a Job."
Granted, being an extra in a local, low-budget production is a long way from the Oscars - but you've got to start somewhere.
We've all got our own things to add to the list on this wonderful day of Thanksgiving.

Pittsburgh in Vienna
At last, the Pittsburgh Symphony has arrived in the city of Johann Strauss, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Schoenberg. Even Gottfried von Einem has a star on the walk of fame here, just outside the Musikverein, home of the Vienna Philharmonic, where the Pittsburgh Symphony rehearses later this morning and presents the first of two concerts tomorrow night. It was a quick trip from Dresden yesterday. I saw a kids' T-shirt I liked in the Dresden airport. In German it said, "Why should I clean my room when the world is in chaos?" A question I've been asking since childhood.
I took a stroll on the broad Strassen of Vienna to the Musikverein, where posters proclaimed the Pittsburgh Symphony "Ausverkauft," sold out.
Last evening, it was a trip to the Wienerwald at the edge of the city where the new Grüner Veltliner, wine fresh from the press and plucked from the vines on the hillside, is poured for guests at the Schreiberhaus. The Symphony patrons group met there for a gemütlich Abend.
Today, I walked to the Hotel Sacher for a piece of Sacher Torte. It's been baked there since 1832. The hotel says it receives letters addressed to "Hotel Chocolate Cake." The Hotel Sacher was first named for Franz Sacher, then came the torte. In 1962, a Viennese court decision ruled that only the Hotel Sacher had the original Sacher Torte: rich chocolate cake with a light layer of apricot, it seems, although the recipe is a closely-held secret.
Across the street is the Herbert von Karajan Platz, site of the Vienna Staatsoper, which was sending its production of Rossini's Italian Girl in Algiers onto a jumbo screen in the square, in the manner of a Penguins playoff game at Mellon Arena. I found another Pittsburgh Symphony LP in the used-records bin outside the opera; Karl Goldmark's Rustic Wedding Symphony with Andre Previn conducting, for seven euros. Inside, I found a reissue of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto from 1928 featuring Bronislav Huberman with former Pittsburgh Symphony Music Director William Steinberg leading the Berlin Staatskapelle.
Then it was on to the Vienna Theater Museum, next to the Albertina, where a giant exhibit honors Gustav Mahler's 150th anniversary year. The items on display are drawn from all around the globe, including a photo of Mahler with his daughter, Anna, on loan from the University of Pennsylvania. You can see his glasses and many other personal effects, and you can listen to more than a dozen interviews of conductors talking about Mahler, including Pittsburgh's own Lorin Maazel and Mariss Jansons. You can hear the interviews online at universaledition.com/mahler. The Vienna Theater Museum is in the Lobkowitz Palace, the former home of Franz Lobkowitz, one of Beethoven's friends and patrons. Beethoven dedicated his Third, Fifth, and Sixth Symphonies, and Op. 18 quartets to Lobkowitz, who named his giant Eroica Saal, with ceiling paintings by the Dutch artist Jacob von Schuppen, in honor of the composer.
I'm trying to get to as many coffee shops as possible for the atmosphere, and because you can hit and run with Apfelstrudel. I thought the strudel at the smoky Kleines Cafe on the Franziskaner Platz compared quite well with the strudel at Prantl's in Shadyside.
On the way back to the hotel, I wound through the city park. There, the gleaming gold statue of Johann Strauss with his violin was admired and photographed by hordes of tourists while kids threw Frisbees on the great, green lawn. There's a beer garden near the entrance to the park, and there I found brass players including Johann Ströcker, one of three bass trombones in the Vienna Philharmonic, reconnecting with our Principal Tuba Craig Knox, Principal Trombone Peter Sullivan, and trombone Jim Nova.
Julia Wehmeier graduated from Sewickley Academy and now lives in Brussels where she's a graphic designer and teaches several languages for Berlitz. She and her Mom, Erika Wehmeier, who you'll meet at Heinz Hall on a typical Friday night, taught me the German idiom "Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund," or as Ben Franklin said it, "Early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." So I'm going to bed.

Organic Dairy: Is It Worth the Cost?Elizabeth Stark
Organic dairy products can come at a premium and when you're spending a little extra money, it's always good to know whether it was worth it, which can be hard to evaluate when there are so many conflicting claims about the benefits of organic. After the jump, we'll try to untangle what organic is and what it isn't, what it means for your health, for the environment, and for the cows so you can make an informed decision about what's best for your family.
What is organic dairy?
To be labeled organic, dairy products have to come from livestock that have been raised according to USDA organic standards. Among other rules, the USDA states that organic milk must come from cows that have been pastured for the entire grazing season (not less than three months), that have not been given synthetic hormones, that have access to the outdoors year-round, that have been fed only organic feed, and that have not been given antibiotics.
What does this mean for your family's health?
There are a lot of conflicting claims. While some claim that the hormones and antibiotics in conventional milk are bad for you, the general consensus is that they either don't have an effect or that effect is negligible. However, organic milk can be more nutritious than its conventional counterpart with 68% more omega-3 fatty acids, because of the cows' better diet and the breeds of cows that are typically used on organic farms.
What does organic mean for the environment?
There's little question that the pesticides and fertilizer used to raise feed for conventional cows are bad for the environment. Moreover, pasturing the cows for at least part of the year means that less land is given over to cultivating food for cows, which is one of the big causes of deforestation. This is an important consideration when weighing the expense of organic dairy. Conventional dairy imposes a lot of environmental costs that aren't paid by the consumer. When you buy organic, you pay something closer to the truer cost of your food which may make you reconsider how much you use.
Is organic better for cows?
Living life outside, with less illness, and a more natural diet are clear reasons that organic cows might have a higher quality of life. Cows that are allowed to graze, and have access to the outdoors are going to have a higher quality of life than those living in a factory farm situation. And since organic cows aren't given hormones or antibiotics, their diets are healthier, and the cows are in much better physical condition.

Ignore this - /proc is a "fake" file system - your window into the kernel.
It really does not exist.

du measures directory entries - df measures actual space in use at the
moment which would include deleted (but in use) files.
So the _likely_ answer is that you have some files that are still in use,
but have been deleted. A real pain in the ass to find sometimes, but that's
what 'fuser' and 'lsof' are meant for. Should be installed.
[compton ~]$ whatis fuser lsof
fuser (1) - identify processes using files or sockets
lsof (8) - list open files

Mom Defends Tween YouTube Star, Despite Death ThreatsMadeline Holler
This weekend, an 11-year-old Florida girl who became an overnight YouTube sensation — for all the wrong reasons — was taken into protective custody after she received death threats. In an interview with Momlogic, the mother of Jessica Leonhardt (aka: Jessi Slaughter) defended her daughter and the videos (which she admits she hasn't seen).
The case, nicely explained by Maralee at Famecrawler, is sad and cringe-inducing and kind of astounding. Sure, an 11-year-old uploading (NSFW) videos of herself swearing a bluestreak isn't all that shocking these days. But the parents' reaction?
They're awfully naive.
After getting prank phone calls, fake messages and confirmations for pizza orders the Leonhardt family never made, Jessica went online to beg those making the threats and orders and calls to stop. In the meantime, her father stands behind her screaming at, well, the camera and of course now that video has became another sensation. It also didn't stop the threats and harassment.
On Friday, police took Jessica in to protective custody, which Dianne Leonhardt describes to MomLogic. She also has this to say to parents who might find themselves in the situation:
Communicate with your child, try and watch them and try and believe what your child is saying to you. Give your child the benefit of the doubt, because nobody else will. And talk to your child about cyberbullying and about how bad it's going to hurt another person. They don't know or understand the dwindling-down effect of what they've created.

Danesha Adams has patiently waited her turn, but when it has come, she has given the Independence offense a major spark.
The most recent example came in last Sunday's 3-2 win over the Atlanta Beat in a key Women's Professional Soccer match at West Chester University.
Inserted in the 62d minute with the score tied, 2-2, Adams helped set up the game-winning goal.
Her cross from the right flank led to the eventual game-winner by Joanna Lohman. A few minutes earlier Adams almost connected with Lohman on a corner, but it was headed wide.

In an interview with Politico, Jindal urged Republicans to "shift to offering health care solutions instead of just rejecting what President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are proposing."
"I think now is the perfect time to pivot and to say, not only here's what we're against, and not only here's how we're going to contrast ourselves, but here's what we're for," Jindal said in an interview with the publication.
"Across the country, our people are worried that government is spending too much money. Only in Washington, D.C., would they respond by creating a plan that could spend $900 billion more dollars."
The Washington Post noted Jindal's appearance at a fund-raiserfor Virginia's
Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert F. McDonnell on Monday night at the McLean, Va., home of Dwight Schar, founder of NVR, one of the nation's largest homebuilders.
"The event was expected to draw about 20 people and raise about $250,000," the newspaper reported. "McDonnell will be joined by Sheila Johnson, the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, who endorsed him earlier this year despite being a major Democratic fundraiser."

Nothing says Southern quite like Strawberry Shortcake and we have a simple recipe for you to make it for your family. Whether you are eating it after a Sunday brunch or looking for something to share on a hot Summer afternoon, Strawberry Shortcake is scrumptious. Berries burst with the flavor of a sunny Summer's day and these biscuits, made from scratch, are as fast as a mix. Add fresh berries to give a boost of fiber. Delicious nonfat yogurt replace heavy whipped cream. A good source of vitamin C.
This recipe serves 8 people.
Ingredients for the Shortcakes
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup skim milk
Ingredients for the Strawberry Filling
- 2 pints of fresh strawberries, sliced in half
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Nonfat vanilla yougurt, whipped cream, or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions for making Southern Style Strawberry Shortcakes
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degree. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in the orange peel. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Quickly stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather trimmings, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.
4. Place biscuits on a prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place biscuits on a wire rack and cool slightly.
5. Split warm biscuits in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on serving plates. Top each with some filling. Cover with biscuit tops. Serve with remaining filling and garnish with yogurt and mint or whipped cream.

What a clever scheme! There's no overt deception. That's because you don't claim to be able to do anything. You don't preach. In fact you don't even talk. You don't touch anyone. You don't sell any potions. You don't use any sleight of hand tricks. You don't use any sort of equipment. However, you do grow your hair to project an image of a certain biblical figure associated with healing. But you don't call yourself a healer, although you do not object if others do. In fact you do nothing but promise to gaze at people for about seven minutes if they plunk down eight dollars. You are "Braco the Gazer." And you are a phenomenon!Picture this. Thousands of people flood into an auditorium, many looking ill, some hobbling with canes, others in wheelchairs, reminiscent of crowds that flock to faith healers, ready to open up their pocket books in return for a few miracles. But in this case there are no promises of miracles. Not directly anyway. As the crowd buzzes with anticipation, the proceedings begin with the session's host welcoming everyone to the meeting with "the healer who doesn't call himself a healer." A nice little legalistic "out." Everyone's experience will be different, the audience is told, and "skeptics will become believers." "There should be no specific expectations." But of course there are. People have heard that Braco's silent holistic gift can clarify the mind, vanish pain and wither tumours. It can also repair stalled cars and stop cats from vomiting.Braco, the Croatian healer who claims no healing abilities has been enthralling massive audiences in Europe for some eighteen years, but only in 2010 did he discover the greenback pastures of America. In Europe he usually limits himself to just one gazing session per day, but everything is bigger in America. Here visitors can cycle through the lines of "Braco Gazing" all day long, as long as they pay their entry fee each time. And for this all they get to do is gaze at the gazer. Braco struts onto the stage, long hair flowing, face expressionless. And he gazes. After about seven minutes, it's over. He glides off the stage, the room empties, ready to be refilled by a new throng, along with some repeaters who feel they need another dose of healing energy from the man who makes no claim to have any. In the lobby there are testimonials galore about toothaches disappearing, back problems vanishing and bodies being filled with intense heat. But those who came in wheelchairs leave in them. One lady claims to have been overcome by a "big bubble of love." It is not exactly clear what this means, but she seems to have been "satisfied." There are books and DVD's to buy, as well as jewelry that features a thirteen-pronged star. Again, no claims are made other than that the Sun is the symbol of life and the Sun is the source, which gives us life, light and energy. Can't argue with that.

Mr NEVILLE (Hinkler—The Nationals Deputy Whip) (18:37): I would very much like to talk to the Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Improving Electoral Procedure) Bill 2012. I for one have always taken a great interest in voting procedures in Australia. As a kid of 12 I would sit up at night—pre-TV—and as the figures came through on the radio I would write them down and try to predict who was going to win that election. My taste for politics began early—around the radio at 12 years of age, trying to predict elections. My interest in it has never faded.
When my mother went voting I would get her to bring back the how-to-vote cards of the various candidates, which were very basic in those days. Eventually, I got involved in politics. I stood for the first time in 1969. In fact, had I won then, I would be the Father of the House now—but I probably am in age anyhow, so it doesn't much matter.
The electoral acts are very important. How we vote is very important. During the Howard years we brought in some rules—I know the current government felt that they were too restrictive—but I thought it was fair enough to ask someone who was going on the electoral roll to identify themselves, whether by a birth certificate or a driver's licence and so on. You go into a video shop to get a movie out and you are required to identify yourself, and yet for the most important thing we do in community life—that is, vote—we have a bit of a slapdash attitude.
The other thing I thought was fair enough was that when people came in to vote they could be asked for identification. I do not know the person in question but I heard the story all right. It happened in my electorate. He was going up to have himself ticked off to vote at the last federal election and, as he was standing in the queue, the person in front of him gave his name and address. That is a million-to-one shot: the bloke who was recording a false vote by using someone else's name was one in front of the guy whose name he had subsumed. When the guy said, 'Hey, wait a minute, mate, that's my name,' the guy took off through the door—took off at the speed of a thousand gazelles, as well he might. A lot of that stuff used to go on. I can remember in one election a carload of guys was reputed to have gone to four or five polling booths and voted. You are never likely to catch a group like that, but it does happen that the electoral system is rorted.
Anything that makes the electoral system safer has my support. This bill is going to change the method of postal voting. I think some of the things proposed are probably fair enough. There was one I had some concern about, and that was the centralising of all power in the Electoral Commissioner rather than the DROs, the district returning officers. I understand that that process will probably continue within the department because the Electoral Commissioner under this bill will have the right of delegation. I know the shadow minister at the table—the member for Mackellar—has checked this matter out and she is fairly comfortable with it. That is one thing that had me a bit concerned.
I am always suspicious when you start centralising the process of sending out postal vote applications. It is usually done by local officers, but someone in head office in Brisbane or Sydney says, 'We can do it better than you guys.' I think you, Mr Deputy Speaker, one year had all your postal votes mucked up. The postal vote applications for one of the western New South Wales seats ended up in Maranoa. That sort of thing can happen when you have excessive centralisation. I would hope that, if the Electoral Commission does go to some form of centralisation, they have a very good system. If it is a system that is slower than the current one, then to some extent it will limit democracy.
Over the years, I think, we have had a few silly rules. One was: if you were having a postal vote and you were out in the country, you had to have your application date marked by 5 pm on the day before the election. But out in country areas, you do not have postmen and post offices in every suburb where you can get a letter date stamped; you have the mail contractor who goes from property to property, from little country hamlet to little country hamlet. He might collect up all the mail—he might pick up 50 or 60 letters and little parcels that afternoon—and he goes back in to the town he operates from, but he does not get in until, say, quarter to six or six o'clock. The post office is closed, the postmaster has gone home, and nobody date stamps those things until Monday morning. What happened? All those votes were ruled invalid. In the spirit of things, they had handed their postal votes to the representative of the postal service before 5 pm on the Friday, but lost the technical stamping of the envelope. I think we need to drive those sorts of things out of the system and have regard for people in the west, in inland Australia or on remote islands and the like.
This bill gives precedence to allowing electronic applications for postal votes. I was a bit nervous about that at first until I thought it through. Providing you have certain identification points so that every man and his dog cannot use your name to get into the electoral system, I suppose it is fair enough. The application for a postal vote has to go to either the Electoral Commission or the DRO's office, should the Electoral Commissioner delegate it to the DRO, and it is then his or her job to make sure that the application accords with the roll. If it does not accord with the roll, it could be declared invalid.
We are moving into a new technological age in this regard. I support that, but with some ambivalence until this process occurs for the first time and we are able to see its after-effects—for example, whether it leads to rorting or to too many postal votes. I would be happier if it were trialled in, say, one electorate in each state initially just to see how it worked.
The bill deals not only with electronic applications for postal votes but also with the Senate ticket. We have above-the-line voting, which is easy enough, but a lot of people seem to think it is their right to vote below the line in Senate elections. In New South Wales, the ballot paper has reached its maximum size for most printeries in Australia. If we get any more candidates, the font size on the ballot paper will be quite small, and that is a problem. To address that, this bill proposes that the deposit required to nominate for a Senate election rise from $1,000 to $2,000. I think a deposit of $2,000 is fair enough to get into the Senate. Further, the number of nominees required for someone to apply to stand for the Senate will increase to 100. If two Independents want to sit on the paper as a team or 'grouped', as it is called, each of them will require 100 nominees. It will not be sufficient to get 100 nominees for the two of them unless they are a formal political party. Similarly, the deposit for the House of Representatives will go up from $500 to $1,000, and the number of nominees required will increase from 50 to 100. I think that is also fair enough, because you do not want a lot of people making a protest on a ballot paper with silly party names, just to make a statement. Elections are far too serious for that sort of nonsense.
There were 84 candidates at the last New South Wales election. If you are voting below the line, that really is an effort. You only have to get two of them wrong—write '68' or '69' twice, or whatever it might be—and your whole ballot paper is invalid. At the last election in New South Wales 42 candidates recorded fewer than 200 votes. Those 42 candidates represented only 0.6 per cent of the total number of people voting. That is something we could help to eliminate.
There were some minor amendments, which I do not think we need to canvass tonight. I think we should concentrate heavily on making sure that the integrity of the roll and the integrity of the postal vote—and also the provisional vote application, which is not subject to this bill—are watched very closely. I hope the committee, in its report after the next election—which, as we know, is only about 12 months away—will be equally rigorous in dealing with these matters.
If I can speak for the opposition and the shadow minister, I say that we accept this bill. We had a little concern about a few aspects of it, but the shadow minister has talked that through with the Electoral Commissioner to her satisfaction, and on that ground we will support the legislation.

Leighton Baines £4.5 million. Fixture: Southampton (Home)
Baines has been a Fantasy Football favourite for many years and Everton's strong start has seen him along with Pienaar and Fellaini shine. So far this season Baines has scored 25 Irish Times Fantasy Premier League Points!!
The points haul for Baines has included a goal, two assists and two clean sheets which is a fantastic achievement and at £4.5 million he is a moderately priced defender for the points potential the England International offers.
Fantasy Football Defender Tips: Baines Future Potential
Everton have the fixtures that will give Baines the opportunity tostay among the top points scoring defenders over the coming weeks.
The home games for Everton over the next three weeks are: Southampton, Liverpool and Sunderland
The away games for the Toffee's coming up are Wigan, QPR and Fulham.
The combination of teams that leaks goals and Evertons shut out potential makes Baines & co a very attractive proposition for the coming weeks.
Everton have trips to (wig, qpr, ful) in the next six and are also set to welcome Liverpool and Sunderland to Goodison
Ryan Shawcross (Stoke City) £3.6 million. Fixture: Swansea City (Home)
After a relatively poor fantasy points return last season from Stoke and Ryan Shawcross it appears that the Potter's are going to be difficult to score against no matter how much other Premier League teams pay for attacking players. They kept a clean sheet against Arsenal early on and were unlucky to concede against Manchester City as they took a point off the Champions.
Last week Shawcross was unlucky to be part of a defence that conceded late on against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and in truth could have won the game 0-1 just as easy.
"Easy" Home Games for Stoke
The next three home games for Stoke include Swansea, Sunderland and QPR which gives Irish Times Fantasy Football Managers the opportunity to pick up much valued Clean Sheets which are difficult to come by this season.
Davide Santon (Newcastle United) £3.6 million. Fixture: Reading
Newcastle again look a force this season under Alan Pardew and Santon has made left back his position following on from his days at Inter Milan building a solid premier league status.
Last week saw Newcastle keep their first Clean Sheet of the season and with a trip to Reading this weekend they will be favourite to add another if they can keep Pavel Pogrebnyak quiet. Reading have gotten off to a poor start and are struggling to put together any momentum. The Royals have just managed a handful of goals this season which pays into Newcastle's hands.
