HARRISBURG, PA — For decades governors of the Keystone State have dreamed of selling off the state liquor store system to the private sector, and now Governor Tom Corbett has presented a detailed plan about how to move forward with it.
At a press conference in Pittsburgh on January 30, Corbett said the main thrust of the change is to offer consumers more choice and convenience.
Perhaps the biggest critic of the plan is the union leader of the state stores clerks, Wendell Young IV. Young, president of the United Food and Commercial Union, which represent more than 3,000 employees in the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) system, told reporters that Corbett's plan would cause the loss of 5,000 jobs, and he will fight to make sure that the plan does not come to fruition. He has reportedly challenged the governor to a series of town hall meetings to debate the issue.
Corbett maintains that the wrong question is being asked. "Why do we continue to deal with an antiquated liquor system that is 75 years old? The question should be why don't we have choice and convenience like 48 other states in the union."
Representative Seth Grove said the state is losing significant revenue through the current system because many Pennsylvania residents who live near states with more liberal distribution systems, such as New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, cross state lines to purchase alcohol.
Corbett said his plan to auction licenses to private businesses would lead to increased sales of alcoholic beverages; and the auction and increased sales together would raise about $1 billion, which Corbett said would be used to help fund education programs in the state's schools.
A press release about the plan said, "The $1 billion in revenue will come from the three- to four-year process of selling the PLCB" and its various assets. There are about 600 wine and liquor stores currently in the state. Corbett foresees that number growing to about 1,200, with every county having as many liquor stores as they now have, and most counties getting more.
Additionally, under the plan, consumers would be able to buy beer and wine where they shop for groceries, buy six-packs of beer at a distributor instead of being forced to buy an entire case, and buy a six-pack of beer at a convenience store.
The plan has been criticized by some Democrats for the large increase in stores where the public and perhaps minors will be able to access alcohol, though Corebtt's plan calls for increasing the penalties for people who sell alcohol to minors.
Some of Corbett's Republican colleagues have been tepid in their acceptance of the plan.
Senate Pro Tem Joe Scarnati has said in the past that it might be preferable to fix the existing system to give consumers more choice and convenience, rather than getting rid of the PLCB altogether.

"It was an awesome game with the best attitude and effort we've had all year," said Lady Trojan head coach Don Ledesma.
The teams played to a scoreless tie through the first 40 minutes, even though the Beeville squad dominated play according to their head coach.
The home team cashed in first with a goal in the first minute of the second half to take the 1-0 lead. The Beeville girls answered back as Heather McKinney bent one into the net from 35 yards out to tie the match at 1-1.
The Lady Trojans to a lead on a kick from Victoria Elizalde that got through the Pleasanton keeper's legs and into the back of the net for the 2-1 Beevlle lead.
Time was now becoming a factor as the minutes ran off the clock in the second half. The Eaglettes counterattacked and put in their final goal of the game with just seven minutes left. The Lady Trojans would not lose on this Friday night. With determination, the Beeville varsity mounted an offensive attack. Elizalde got the game-winner on a shot from an almost impossible angle, but it got past the Pleasanton keeper and across the goal line for the third Beeville goal of the game to put the Lady Trojans on top at 3-2.
That was the final score of the contest, and the Lady Trojans are in a fight for one of the top spots for the playoffs with three games remaining on the District 57-4A schedule as of Monday.
The Lady Trojans played McCollum in San Antonio on Tuesday night in their last regular season road match of the year. The Beeville girls finish their district schedule at home against Southside on Thursday afternoon and then on Tuesday night when district front-runner Harlandale pays a visit to Beeville. That match could determine the district championship if both teams win their games leading up to that encounter.
"If we can continue that attitude and fight through our next three games and the playoffs, we could definitely give ourselves a chance at winning region. We still have little things to improve on, but hopefully, we are starting to peak and make ourselves tough to beat and developing our identity as a team that can give anyone problems," said Ledesma.

6-4-10 PNC Park

I got to the park at 3:15, and the Pirates were already in the middle of their BP.
I watched as at least 20 balls landed in the seats.

When I got into the stadium, the field was completely empty.

Sandy Hook Dad Channels Charlton Heston
Apparently the testimony of Sandy Hook father Bill Stevens wasn't as easy to deceptively edit as Neil Heslin's; otherwise you would see this plastered across the authoritarian media:
A video of a father, Bill Stevens, whose daughter attended Sandy Hook Elementary school, scene of the mass shooting in December, is making its rounds today of his testimony against gun control at a Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on gun violence prevention.
The little sister of a friend of his daughter Victoria was murdered, not by an "assault weapon" or any other inanimate object but by the evil freak Adam Lanza.
Stevens read part from the state's constitution on the right to bear arms in self-defense and told the panel, "These rights are inalienable and endowed by our creator, not you politicians."
From his testimony:
"But criminals and tyrants — tyrants, especially — be aware that lockdown is not an option at the Stevens residence. And 911 will be dialed after the security of my home has been established.
"Why is that same security my daughter enjoys at home with her dad not available at school in Newtown? That is what you should be considering, not making her dad a criminal.
"Charlton Heston made the phrase 'From my cold dead hands' famous and I will tell you here today, you will take my ability to protect my Victoria from my cold dead hands."
Victoria is very lucky to have a true American for a father.

The Cherokees jumped on Beeville starter Theresa Amador for five first inning runs to get off to a great start. Amador and the Beeville defense then played some good ball over the next four frames, allowing just two more T-M runs in the top of the fourth for a 7-0 Cherokee advantage.
Amador shut down the hard-hitting visitors in the fifth, but the big T-M bats got back into rhythm in the sixth for another five runs to make it 11-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth.
The Lady Trojans had to score, but the Cherokee pitching shut down the Beeville offense, and the T-M girls captured a 10-run rule in six innings. The Cherokees produced 14 hits with 10 RBIs.
The Beeville girls were no-hit in their previous encounter with the Cherokees but managed to collect eight hits in Friday's contest.
"We just couldn't string enough of them together," said head coach Jose Flores.
Amador was a perfect 3-3 at the plate for the Lady Trojans. Rebekah Mendoza had two hits in three trips. Eddika Ortega, Lynn Puente and Krystal Cuellar also picked up base hits for the Beeville girls.
Amador went the distance in the circle for the Lady Trojans, allowing just four earned runs off 14 hits, recording two strikeouts and issuing four walks on the night.
The Lady Trojans finished District 30-4A play at 1-11.


text: Actually, while I haven't read the book as it came out long after we were done, I did do my BLS based on the research paper done for Unicef which is where the concept started. (Though it was a woman. Is Gill Rapley a women? The same woman?) Because in the paper she wrote there was a very explicit list of DO's and DON'Ts listed. And DO feed your child only whole foods was listed IIRC. And while I certainly agree that we all have to follow your gut and there is more than one way to skin this particular issue, I think a lot of people do things in regards to solids without really thinking about it or because they simply don't know that there are risks involved. And where my son was concerned in regards to food I always erred on the side if the most cautious. Because in regards to things like allergies, even with no history, there will less of a chance if you wait until after the year mark because their digestive tract will be safely developed after that point. I wasn't worried he was going to be allergic to oranges. I knew they would be too acidic and could cause him a diaper rash I didn't want him to have. And I learned about the salt after innocently giving him a pickle. And a friend sent me the info how they can't process it before a year. So then I knew better. In most cases if you knew better you'd do better.

Big Island police are investigating a fatal industrial accident in the Puna District on Thursday morning.
At about 9:14 a.m., police and Hawai'i Fire Department medics received a report of an apparent industrial accident at a job site just off Route 11 near the North Kulani Road intersection in Mountain View.
Responding officers discovered that a 56-year-old man had been inspecting the electrical system for a newly installed water tank when he apparently was electrocuted from the energized system.
A 51-year-old Honoka'a man, who was working nearby, attempted to assist the victim. He was able to de-energize the electrical system but not before sustaining minor injuries from exposure to electrical current.
The victim was taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 10:32 a.m.
Detectives are conducting further investigation into this incident, which is classified as an industrial accident and a coroner's inquest.
Police are awaiting positive identification and notification of the next of kin before releasing the name of the victim.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning to determine the exact cause of death.

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday officially introduced its FX-series microprocessors based on highly-anticipated Bulldozer micro-architecture for desktops. Due to late time-to-market, AMD now has to position its code-named Zambezi central processing units for performance-mainstream segment and price the chips at below $250.
"While overclockers will certainly enjoy the frequencies the AMD FX processors can achieve, PC enthusiasts and HD media aficionados will appreciate the remarkable experience that AMD FX processors can provide as part of a balanced, affordable desktop system," said Chris Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager of client group at AMD.
As previously reported, AMD's launch lineup includes FX-8150 ($245), FX-8120 ($205), FX-6100 ($165) and FX-4100 ($115) central processing units with eight, six or four cores. Specifications of the chips are well known. Going forward AMD will add more models into the FX family.
Bulldozer micro-architecture in general as well as Zambezi microprocessors in particular have been anticipated for many years now. In fact, Bulldozer is AMD's first brand-new high-performance micro-architecture since 2003. Unfortunately, since AMD engineers shifted their priorities from instructions per clock and core frequency towards the number of cores this time, eight-core FX "Zambezi" did not manage to outperform Intel Corp.'s high-end Core i7 chips and in certain cases is even slower than the six-core Phenom II X6 CPUs.
"FX processors based on Bulldozer microarchitecture managed to show their strengths only in a small variety of common user tasks. There are very few popular applications, which would generate simple multi-threaded integer load and this is the only case when Bulldozer really performs at its best. As a result, in certain applications the new Bulldozer is not just slower than competitors from Intel, but is even slower than the previous-generation Phenom II X6. And it means that AMD didn't succeed in launching a revolutionary desktop CPU," said Ilya Gavrichenkov, the CPU analyst at X-bit labs.

so i made my first "batch" of babyfood last night. It was bananas and it was about a cup, so i poured it into the ice cube trays and popped it into the freezer feeling pretty darn smart. So today i get out my freezer bags and my sharpie and the ice cube tray, ony to find that i could NOT coax the banana pops out. So i ended up dipping them into a pan of warm water to loosen them and the picking them out, and the banana slime had formed a suction in the tray. Then i turned them all up on their ends on a plate...back into the freezer, and hopefully i can get them into the freezer bag(in peices) in a few hours.
Someone please tell me there is a better way of doing this. I am willing to buy the one step ahead stacking cube things if they are really worth it. If i put water in the bananas instead of BM would the they freeze harder and then pop out easier?

Severance Tax
Dear Editor
It has been called to our attention that Gov. Kasich is proposing a severance tax on oil and gas companies developing the Utica shale formation in Eastern Ohio.
As a resident of this area, as well as a small business owner, I have seen this area as a strong economic region producing steel and related products, and coal for our electric generating facilities. The steel industry is all but gone and the coal jobs are dwindling as more and more coal-fired plants are closed due to EPA regulations.
Due to the loss of jobs in Eastern Ohio, we have seen many of our young people move out of this area and our general population become older. Many store fronts are boarded up and small businesses have closed or moved elsewhere. Add to that property values are falling, schools are struggling and local governments are eliminating services such as police and fire protections and even street lighting. It is very uplifting to see an industry that will provide needed jobs, tax revenues for local municipalities, and opportunities for landowners to finally see some value for their land.
Hopefully, Ohio's future looks bright with the development of Ohio's oil and gas reserves. Let's let this industry develop and expand before restricting it with taxes and other government intrusion. Eastern Ohio, Ohio and America need the jobs and resources it will provide.

text: I've been bf my 3 mo son, and have been supplementing 3x/day at dr's orders due to his slow weight gain. I seem to have a low milk supply, athough I am pumping after feedings and taking fenugreek. From what I have read, progestin only pills shouldn't affect milk supply, is that correct? I am also taking prescription allergy meds, Allegra-D, which have antihistimine in them. Could discontinuing the Allegra-D increase the milk supply? I am also taking Flonaise, which is a nasal spray for the nasal allergies but I don't think it is an antihistimine, so I may be able to get by with only using it. Thanks for any input!

With the government shutdown entering its second week, local farmers could start feeling its effects.
Steve Haack, a Belleville farmer and member of the Farm Service Agency committee in Dane County, said his neighbor told him he was unable to cash an FSA loan check because of the shutdown.
"He'd just actually gone to the FSA office to get a check co-signed and there was no one there." Haack said.
Many farmers take out FSA loans to cover operating and other costs. But those loans require farmers to exchange collateral to cover their loans. Often that collateral is cattle or crops.
When a farmer decides to sell a portion of that collateral, a federal employee must cosign the check and with the government on furlough, farmers would not be able to cash their checks.
Ben Brancel, secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, said only two farmers have reported the issue. He added department employees' hands are tied until lawmakers can reach an agreement.
"I don't think I'd call it worried. I am concerned," Brancel said. "There isn't anything we can do personally or at the agency. All we can do is make sure they understand their legal obligations and don't get themselves in trouble."

Morgan Stanley to name co-heads for European electronic unit
Morgan Stanley is to appoint two new co-heads to lead its highly-regarded European electronic trading franchise following the transfer of a long-standing executive to the US, Financial News has learned.
Rupert Fennelly and Kevin Twitchen are to co-head Morgan Stanley Electronic Trading, or MSET, for Europe, the Middle East and Africa from the middle of this year, according to a person familiar with the situation.
They will jointly replace Brian Gallagher, who is to return to the US in a senior role management role within the MSET business, the person said.
Fennelly, a former director at Credit Suisse, is currently head of US sales for MSET, and will focus on sales and client coverage in his new European role. Twitchen is currently global head of algorithmic trading, and will focus on trading and product management in the new role.
Andrew Silverman and Bill Neuberger will remain as co-global heads of MSET, the person said.
MSET is widely-regarded as one of the leading European electronic trading franchises. On Gallagher's watch, the division has rolled-out a new version of its low latency trading infrastructure called Passport, and built a market structure and regulatory consulting team under Eleanor Jenkins.
According to a recent survey by Markit, the bank retained its position as the top-ranked broker of European cash equities by value traded, holding off competition from rivals Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS.
Morgan Stanley traded European equities worth €1.19 trillion on behalf of clients last year, according to the figures, up from €905 billion in 2012.
Gallagher first joined Morgan Stanley in April 2005. Prior to that he spent over five years at electronic agency brokerage Instinet.

Since joining the collegiate rankings in 2005, Griffin has been a key coaching figure in eight consecutive postseason appearances. Most recently as an assistant coach with NC State women's basketball, Griffin played an integral role in the Wolfpack's back-to-back WNIT appearances.
Prior to NC State, Griffin spent four seasons as an assistant coach at UNC Charlotte, helping the 49ers to four consecutive postseason appearances, the WNIT in 2008, 2010 and the semifinal round in 2011, while also making an NCAA appearance in 2009 after winning the Atlantic-10 Conference title. During his time with UNC Charlotte, the program recorded an 86-47 overall record, including winning a school-record 27 games in 2010-11.
From 2005-07, Griffin served as an assistant coach at South Carolina. The Gamecocks won 35 games in those two seasons, and made two postseason WNIT appearances, advancing to the third round in 2007. In his first season he helped South Carolina win nine more games than the season before his arrival.
Griffin's work with the post players was key to the two-year improvement in Columbia. The Gamecocks set single-season school records for blocked shots, field goal percentage defense and scoring defense in 2005-06. He played a major role in helping forward Demetress Adams earn SEC All-Freshman team honors and an invite to the USA Basketball U-20 National Team tryouts in the summer of 2006.

Olive Aneno is a former Leadership Development Program student who has previously shared her story with us. Recently we asked Olive about her career as a social worker.
Why did she choose social work? And, what are the differences she sees in the children of Uganda and the children she works with in the U.S.
This is what she shared with us,
Thirty years ago, I had no hope of ever even attending school, let alone wearing a pair of shoes or speaking English. I worked in the fields at an early age and also tended to the cows every day.
I used to envy young girls who wore slippers (flip flops) and I dreamed of having my own pair one day.
Little did I know that this dream would be fulfilled when I became part of the Compassion International program.
I not only was able to wear flip flops, but wore my first shoes and was able to attend school for the first time.
After watching my grandmother care for other children and how that made her happy, I decided to become a social worker. I wanted to experience the kind of happiness that poverty did not take from her.
I accepted Jesus at the age of 5 and always looked up to my grandparents who were my mentors. I dreamed of the day I would be of help other children. I led praise and worship, which I enjoyed very much but I wanted to do more.
When I came to the US, I wanted to study social work but I do not think that I was prepared for what I was getting myself into. I completed two internships at the Red Cross and another at a domestic violence offenders treatment center — which was so different from my experience in Uganda.
In Uganda there were not many known treatment groups for domestic violence offenders, and the women always suffered silently due to fear of losing the father of the children who in most cases was the breadwinner. These women also feared having to refund their dowry.
Upon completion of my graduate studies in social work, I started working with children with severe emotional behaviors. This was challenging as I had never seen the kind of mental illness that these children were experiencing.
In Uganda, I was used to such children being prayed for at an overnight event and the pastors would follow up and support the family in the child's recovery.
I later joined a state agency where I investigated child abuse and neglect. I worked with these families for six years. Most of the families had food to eat, somewhere to sleep and had jobs.
But during these investigations I discovered that, a majority of the people I encountered were poor emotionally and spiritually.
Children in Uganda were mainly poor physically and sometimes emotionally. But, a majority of the children were rich spiritually as parents emphasized going to church even if they themselves did not attend.
Ugandan children are attracted to the singing and also the stories that were told in churches. As a child, knowing Christ and believing in His resurrection was far better than having no shoes or having one meal a day.
Coming to the U.S. was a great change for me as well spiritually. I did not have any traits of physical poverty that I experienced in Uganda as a child. Everything that I needed was only a phone call or a click away.
These become distractors for some time and I realized that I needed a deeper relationship with the Most High and thus my quest for more in-depth study of who I am in Christ. Friends at church and the community were able to help me deal with these differences.
I am thankful that through Compassion I learned that physical, economical and emotionally poverty should not prevent a child from knowing that Christ loves them and cares for them.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in Uganda, Olive Aneno attended South Carolina State and The University of Georgia where she earned a Bachelors and Masters in Social Work, respectively. Olive lives in Georgia with her son.

The Dalsland Canal connects a 240 kilometre navigable system of lakes. It is best known for the famous and frequently pictured passage at Håverud – a combination of a roadway bridge, a railway bridge and an aqueduct, opened in 1868.
The Dalsland Canal
Lisa Nestorson/Turistrådet Västsverige
The serene wilderness setting of the canal attracts a varied crowd. You can row, paddle or motor your own boat here or take a trip on a passenger tour boat from mid-June to end-August. The canal is also a favourite for kayaking, canoeing and camping adventures.
Pit stop at Håverud to visit the House of Handicrafts, one of southern Sweden´s best places to shop for genuine local handicraft – located by Lake Upperudshöljen, (just down the road from Dalsland Centre). And for word processing as it was 3,000 years ago? Visit the rock carvings at Tisselskog.
Have a wood-fired sauna and buy freshly baked bread for breakfast at Holmerudsfors new marina and steamboat jetty. And if you feel the need for retail therapy mid canal trip, you can hop off the canal and into the canalside Töcksfors modern (and large) shopping centre.

Gareth is a first class guide both in his ability to hear and find birds as well as being able to handle clients in an understanding manner which at times cannot be easy. I cannot compliment him highly enough on his inter-personal skills. He is both amusing and entertaining, yet serious when the need arises. This tour, as with my previous tour with him, ran so smoothly without any problems, probably due to his foresight in planning and telephoning ahead for the next or even following days.
I reserve "excellent" for outstanding services only, but I am very happy to give it to Markus because his enthusiasm and knowledge of ALL wildlife, along with a sense of humour, gave us one of the best wildlife tours we have ever had.
Our guide, Greg de Klerk, was absolutely fabulous. Not only great birding skills and knowledge throughout our tour, but his enthusiasm and amazing knowledge of Kruger and all its wildlife made for an unforgettable experience (it was my first trip to Africa). He was especially good at helping everyone in our party see each bird or animal which I greatly appreciated. Greg handled all aspects of the tour flawlessly. I would definitely recommend Greg highly for whatever tour he is leading.
Forrest was absolutely fantastic. The best birder/guide that we have ever had the pleasure of travelling with. His enthusiasm and passion for his work were exceptional and made for an awesome birding trip.
The tour was great. It exceeded our expectations. We got more than our money's worth. Part of that was Dusan making everyone feel welcome. He was a great guide and worked really hard at locating Cuban Endemics for us. We also saw, surprisingly, many other North American Warblers. He was very friendly and didn't mind being asked over and over, "which bird is that," even though he had named the bird many times before. Talk about patience!
I still find it hard to believe that we saw all 40 of my targets in Cuba – you led a great trip and it was great birding with you again.
Excellent isn't really adequate to describe the skills and personality of Keith. Phenomenal would be closer to the truth.
Gareth was an excellent guide. He was always on hand to give help and advice when needed and didn't favour one guest over another. His enthusiasm could not be faulted and local and birding knowledge faultless.
Adam, "You are simply the best" and really showed me how one should bird and how to go about it. Our early morning walks in the forest gave me the impression that I was in the worlds finest concert hall with the greatest musicians rendering their best songs. I was humbled by this experience and will never forget it…
Rob Williams was a brilliant guide in all respects. Throughout the three weeks, he gave the group his all. He is outstanding, and we would love to travel with him again.
We found Adam Walleyn to be knowledgeable, experienced, and with expert birding skills and people skills. We enjoyed him thoroughly.
Greg de Klerk was very considerate of individual needs. He is also extremely knowledgeable about ornithology, wildlife, geology, local cultures and languages. A fountain of helpful information. I would certainly travel with Greg again, and would recommend him to others.
David was a fantastic guide whose love for his homeland, and passion for its wildlife, shone brightly. I couldn't have wished for a better guide to show me the wonders of South Africa.
David Hoddinott was an excellent leader. It was obvious he had devoted a lot of preparation time studying the birds and learning their vocalizations. I was very impressed with his knowledge. I'd love to go on another tour with him some day.
Gareth studiously worked to meet each participant's individual needs without sacrificing the overall experience of the group. His audio sense and grasp of song probably even exceeded his other birding skills (which were quite formidable in the own right). His sense of humour and engagement with people was excellent.
Thoroughly enjoyed Gareth – sense of humour was great and he worked tirelessly to ensure everyone could see the bird.
David was the most skilled birding tour leader that I've ever encountered in getting his telescope on a bird in record time. As a result, we saw beautiful images of many species that would have been difficult to observe with bins only. David is also very congenial and easy to talk with. His enthusiasm is contagious and he was generous in sharing his considerable knowledge.
Tour was FANTASTIC and Wayne was a big reason for our enjoyment.
Wayne Jones is one of the most incredible bird and wildlife guides I have ever encountered. Always helpful and professional.
Markus displayed his exceptional birding skills in additional to wonderful people management skills. Birds were obviously a delight and Markus was able to maintain his infectious enthusiasm for birds for the whole tour. At the same time Markus was very considerate of various people's needs to make the tour a memorable time for all.
Markus's ability to find, ID, and scope birds for us (apparently simultaneously, sometimes along with photographing it) was absolutely amazing, and we ended up with some very remarkable sightings of what I gather are generally quite difficult birds. His knowledge of the birds of the region and their natural history is comprehensive, and his enthusiasm added immeasurably to our enjoyment of the trip. He was always on alert, calling out birds as we drove or walked, somehow kept track of what everyone had or had not seen well so far, and was very patient about repeating ID tips. He did a great job of keeping us informed of the daily plans – both logistics and, birdwise, the rationale for choices of where we would stop and what our current targets were. Though we were a small group, we did represent a range on the spectrum of watchers and listers, and Markus did a fine job of catering to different interests. Markus seemed to have an endless store of energy, and along with his guiding and organizing skills, he was a fun travel companion. He even provided us with copies of some of his fantastic photos from the trip at the end, so after each long day of guiding, he must also have been spending his evening time working on his photos.
Sonya and I really appreciate all of your hard work….that truly was one of our trips of a lifetime. And that is saying something since that bar is constantly getting raised by all of our travel. Rockjumper can definitely count us in as repeat guests and I would count it as good fortune if you were our guide again.
I was really pleasantly surprised about every aspect of the Oman & UAE tour. Forrest Rowland did an outstanding job in every way and he has a great sense of humour. This tour exceeded my expectations. The pace was just right, accommodations and meals were of high quality, and Forrest did a great job of organizing details and making sure everything ran smoothly. He found the species that were sought and had expert knowledge of where the birds were likely to be found and when was the best time to try for them. – JM
The trip sounded good in the write-up but far exceeded our expectations. The pelagic trips were outstanding. The number of participants was perfect. Erik knew the birds and their calls/sounds and was very effective in getting everyone to see the birds. He called many pelagic IDs well before other people had even spotted the birds. Erik's skills in managing the participants showed and his sense of humour added to his effectiveness. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
Markus gets A+++ marks from me. Not only is he an excellent birder, but he is also a wonderful traveling companion. Our conversations were varied and interesting. He not only knows a lot about nature; he also participated in talks about a wide variety of subjects. We learned a lot about South Africa. His sense of humor is wonderful. His enthusiasm kept us all on a anticipatory high. His leading a tour will be a big plus for me when I am deciding on another trip.
My wife and I were part of a six person tour of South Africa that was led by David Hoddinott. Our trip was excellent and seamless. David was the perfect guide for our group and, as I'm sure you're aware, is an extraordinary birder and bird finder…. Thank you to Rockjumper, and David especially, for taking the time to create such a wonderful trip for our group.
As always, I'm sure that it's a challenge to accommodate numerous personalities within a group and David was great at it. We all liked him from day one and he was always positive and up for anything. He was an absolute joy to be with.
We'd previously been to Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Botswana and South Africa was a totally different experience. We really enjoyed the people that we got to meet and the sheer beauty of the country is breathtaking. David's enthusiasm and pride of his homeland was inspiring and infectious. We can't thank him enough for making it come alive for us.
And thanks to all who had a part in setting it all up. We'd happily recommend Rockjumper to anyone thinking about a trip led by you.
The faster pace of the tour (South Africa Mega) was just what I wanted, and maximized chances for as many endemics as possible without adding more days. Markus was on top of things throughout, his timing and logistics were flawless, and his spotting skills are excellent. His precision served the group well and the group size (6) was ideal. He also was great with the many mammals, positioning the vehicle for the best viewing and photography, and sharing information about life histories. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and just wish I could do it all over again!
Keith was excellent on everything and a wonderful source of information. Keith and Markus are my favorite tour guides ever (over 20 tours with different companies). Keith arranged daily events extremely well and was good at taking the temperature of the group in terms of energy levels and enthusiasm. He is also enormously patient.
I would not have considered going to Malawi as a priority until I'd seen about 7000 life birds (or about 10 years from now) and was very pleasantly surprised by the number of special species, good accommodations, a well thought out itinerary and good arrangements.
All in all a memorable and special experience even for somebody who regularly does bird tours.
Hi David. Just to say that we couldn't have had a better trip. The more I think about it, the more remarkable it was. We couldn't have asked for better encounters with our target birds and the mammal experiences were memorable. Thanks!!!
The entire entourage was impressed by your skills and leadership. I'm glad we could make this happen. Looking forward to future trips.
This tour (Morocco) more than met my expectations, which I must admit were rather lukewarm. I knew there were not a lot of new birds for me but I signed up for the tour because Mark kept telling me how wonderful Morocco was. Well Mark, you were certainly right. The birds were fantastic, the scenery spectacular, the food way too good, and the geology unbelievable. I'm actually taking an online geology course because of this tour. This tour is truly a special one and I will spread the word to all my birding contacts. Thanks again for such a special experience.
Heard all about the trip from the guys and they all reckoned it to be their best ever to West Africa. All the pax only had praise for you… Thanks a million for the few days we had in the field together and overly impressed by your bird finding and leading skills. Way better than I ever was at your age and you have so much patience and never stop smiling … what is your secret?
Thailand was truly a wonderful trip! Markus is unbelievable in getting everyone on the bird! His recognizing and scoping of the birds is superb. Beyond this he is [also] a very kind man with a great personality who keeps things on an even keel, making sure there is lots of laughter. Because of this the group "gelled" very quickly . I plan to do more Rockjumper tours because of the information and encouragement he gave me and I hope he is the leader of at least some of the tours.
I participated in the Jan-Feb [private] tour to the Philippines guided by Rich Lindie…. I have to say that Rich's … indefatigable attempts to make our trip a success was exemplary in every way. His birding skills are definitely well above the norm in birding companies I am familiar with (including some very elite companies.) Rich is also enthusiastic, energetic, fun loving, patient and always in full control of his clients. In short, he is in the elite echelons of the guiding profession and should be considered a valuable asset to your organization. It is my intent to single out trips guided by him for my travel considerations.
Clayton is a wonderful addition to the Rockjumper family. I look forward to being on tour with him again. He is highly skilled, friendly and aware of the participant's needs.
You have made a very good decision in hiring David Erterius. He is a great young man and will be a very good guide for your company.
David was a terrific guide and traveling companion. He managed everything from birding to people to logistics like a veteran. We'd love to travel with him again any time
A first rate, very satisfying…tour that met all expectations. We missed two species we were especially interested in but our guide made an extra effort to find them and we were very pleased with him. A first rate birder. He is a great addition to the Rockjumer Team.
The B&BG Tour was the trip of a lifetime for me. Rockjumper did everything just right. The birds and animals, the accommodations, and especially Wayne were all top notch. Although Wayne is relatively new to Rockjumper, he is definitely a keeper – personable, a keen observer, and a natural leader. He really made the tour more than "just another birding trip". This is certainly a tour that I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone, although I am seriously considering South Africa next.
Alison was wonderfully helpful, especially for finding a U.S. travel agent who booked affordable and reliable airline tickets for me.
We would like to take this opportunity to again thank you and Rockjumper for a well organized and productive tour which offered the bonuses of good accommodations, good food and good company. Even when trials….came our way, workable solutions were quickly found. We would not hesitate to recommend Rockjumper tours to our friends, and you, Cuan, as a first rate leader!
Wayne and Markus are both fantastic guides and the trip was spectacular!! I would definitely travel with Rockjumper again in the future and look forward to the possibility of doing so!

Glen's pacing of the tour was particularly good – relaxed whenever possible and upping the pace when necessary. His responsiveness and attention to client requests was admirable, as was his general demeanor throughout. Nice to spend such a long trip with someone so enthusiastic and sociable.
Our Madagascar experience surpassed our wildest dreams. We didn't even realise it was a 'birding trip' but David ensured that we saw much much more. The birds were great anyway, especially the pursuit of the magical Helmet Vanga! An unforgettable experience!
Everything was done by all staff to make the trip safe, fun and targets (birds, lemurs, etc) were actively sought out
Well, we have just returned from 2 wonderful weeks in Ecuador led by the best guide of any other trip we have taken for bird watching. Forrest is a true asset to the Rockjumper organization. On behalf of Kim and I, and I'm sure I can also speak for the rest of our group, please pass along our comments to Forrest. Forrest has taken birdwatching to a much higher level with his energy and knowledge, both of the area and his wealth of knowledge of the natural world. It is people like him that help make Rockjumper a Cadilac in the Birdwatching field.
The office staff are always so friendly in their response to emails, and I always feel that there is a personal relationship. That makes for good customer relationships. I met Rockjumper at an ABA conference years ago, and was impressed by them. I regret that I did not take the tour sooner. I have traveled with most of the major companies on more than 30 tours, and I feel that Rockjumper is superior in many ways, especially in having skilled and enthusiastic leaders.
I look forward to another RBT tour…you can never go on too many RBT tours.
Our Rockjumper guide was Rich Lindie. The word "excellent" does not begin to cover the outstanding quality of his technical and interpersonal skills. Rich is the personification of enthusiasm for what he does. Extensively knowledgeable about both flora and fauna (in particular of course birds), he was at all times professional and friendly. In addition, Rich has a great sense of humor and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and hearing about some of his amazing experiences in international travel, living, teaching and guiding. What an interesting and talented young man. We were very fortunate to have him as our guide.
Suffice it to say we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. It could not have been better from start to finish. Thank you to everyone there at Rockjumper, including yourself – you are quite a wonderful team!
Where do I begin? Our [private] Tanzanian safari had unbelievable sightings daily – from four lion cubs coming to within 10 feet of our vehicle, to a leopard stalking, catching and climbing a tree with his prey, to witnessing the wildebeest migration. The animal interaction exceeded anything I could have imagined. To our guide Markus – thank you for willingly sharing your knowledge, whether it be about birds, animals or photography. I look forward to traveling with you again.
I had the best time imaginable [in Cameroon]. Occasionally I had to pinch myself to make sure it was all really happening. And Markus enhanced the whole experience with his vast knowledge, unflagging enthusiasm and sweet, yet saucy, disposition. I cannot praise him enough and would tour again with him in a heartbeat. He was a joy to travel with. I also want to commend…your Cameroon ground agent. He was a lot of fun and took very good care of us….made sure that things ran smoothly and kept us well fed. Thanks to Rockjumper and all involved for making it a super fun trip….and the birds weren't bad either :-).
This [Budget Namibia Birding] trip was a wonderful and unique experience for me. I was pleased with everything about it and also was pleased with myself for having met the challenge of camping and hiking and living out of a tent (most of the nights). It's not something I've done for quite some years. I actually felt renewed and revitalized when it was over. Thanks to everyone for an experience of a lifetime for me!
I just have to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the N. India trip and how superb the leaders are… You know that, you only have world class guides. The last two days made the trip 'beyond expectations' with the birds we saw in Saital… Erik and Rich worked so well together and both are so funny, such a great combination. I especially have to thank Rich for taking pictures for me: I can immediately tell which ones he took: they make clear memories that are memorable…. With much gratitude to RBT for bringing birds and mammals into my life.
Just a quick report that we have returned home safely following a great trip to southern Africa. Everything came off as planned and the experiences were everything that we had hoped for. We really enjoyed the bush camps since they provide a remote experience with lots of animals and few other tourists. The selection of camps provided an excellent balance of habitats and wildlife viewing. Additionally, we would like to thank Athol for his excellent leadership during the Eastern South Africa tour. He is a true gentleman and excellent guide and birder…. All around we were very pleased with the trip. And, thank you and the other staff at Rockjumper for helping to put the trip together.
Perhaps the best thing about the experience [Kenya Mega tour] with the guides was their enthusiasm. They have been over the same ground many times, yet were genuinely pleased and excited to see the birds that turned up daily. It was more than just a job for them and I appreciated the freshness that they brought to each day. Of course it didn't hurt that they occasionally found something totally unexpected. Their enthusiasm was infectious and through their constant encouragement, perhaps I made a little progress towards becoming a better birder.
Certainly I would be happy to recommend RBT, most especially David & Brian, and whomever was responsible for the smooth running of the trip. The drivers were exceptional, combining the most important facilities: skill, patience (with us!) and a sense of humour.
We had an absolutely fabulous safari in Tanzania! The sights we saw were unbelievable – the giraffe standing at the edge of the road, the lion walking up to our vehicle and laying in our shadow, the dik-dik walking down the centre of the road toward us, the many leopards and cheetahs so close and of course, the wildebeest migration. So much more! Just unbelievable!
Markus was a marvelous leader. He was so good with our granddaughters and could relate to them so well. He was a big help to me and made sure I saw some birds. It was a good combination of birds and animals. Everyone else enjoyed the birds, also.
I could go on and on. Rockjumper has top-notch people. Thanks for all the help.
I just wanted to pass on our thanks for a well organised trip. We had a ball in Cuba! Not only were the birds fantastic but the cigars, rum and country were mind-blowing. Our first RJ trip but I am sure that it won't be our last. Well done to the team for arranging a hassle-free trip in a country where it can be difficult to organise things.
Rockjumper's office staff continue with their excellent high level of client services. Prompt, concise and courteous replies are a trade-mark of the Rockjumper staff.
Our questions were always answered with clarity and accuracy. There were no surprises as a result… This trip was a wonderful and unique experience for me. I actually felt renewed and revitalized when it was over. Thanks to everyone for an experience of a lifetime!
I would recommend Rockjumper to my birding colleagues back in Cape May, New Jersey. Cuan and Rockjumper did an outstanding job in helping us plan our trip.

UGC 8335 is a strongly interacting pair of spiral galaxies resembling two ice skaters. The interaction has united the galaxies via a bridge of material and has yanked two strongly curved tails of gas and stars from the outer parts of their bodies . Both galaxies show dust lanes in their centers. UGC 8335 is located in the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, about 400 million light-years from Earth. It is the 238th galaxy in Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.

A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump that's used to support heart function and blood flow in people who have weakened hearts.
The device takes blood from a lower chamber of the heart and helps pump it to the body and vital organs, just as a healthy heart would. (For more information about how the heart pumps blood, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article.)
You may benefit from a VAD if one or both of your ventricles (VEN-trih-kuls) don't work well because of heart disease. Ventricles are the lower chambers of your heart.
A VAD can help support your heart:
- During or after surgery, until your heart recovers.
- While you're waiting for a heart transplant.
- If you're not eligible for a heart transplant. (A VAD can be a long-term solution to help your heart work better.)
A VAD has several basic parts. A small tube carries blood out of your heart into a pump. Another tube carries blood from the pump to your blood vessels, which deliver the blood to your body.
A VAD also has a power source that connects to a control unit. This unit monitors the VAD's functions. It gives warnings, or alarms, if the power is low or the device isn't working well.
Some VADs pump blood like the heart does, with a pumping action. Other VADs keep up a continuous flow of blood. With a continuous flow VAD, you might not have a normal pulse, but your body is getting the blood it needs.
Research has shown that, compared with other VADs, continuous flow VADs may decrease hospital stays and complications and improve survival. However, more research is needed.
Types of Ventricular Assist Devices
The two basic types of VADs are a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and a right ventricular assist device (RVAD). If both types are used at the same time, they're called a biventricular assist device (BIVAD).
The LVAD is the most common type of VAD. It helps the left ventricle pump blood to the aorta. The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body.
RVADs usually are used only for short-term support of the right ventricle after LVAD surgery or other heart surgery. An RVAD helps the right ventricle pump blood to the pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) artery. This is the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
A BIVAD might be used if both ventricles don't work well enough to meet the body's needs. Another treatment option for this condition is a total artificial heart (TAH). A TAH is a device that replaces the ventricles.
VADs have two basic designs. A transcutaneous (tranz-ku-TA-ne-us) VAD has its pump and power source located outside of the body. Tubes connect the pump to the heart through small holes in the abdomen. This type of VAD might be used for short-term support during or after surgery.
Transcutaneous Ventricular Assist Device
An implantable VAD has its pump located inside of the body and its power source located outside of the body. A cable connects the pump to the power source through a small hole in the abdomen.
Implantable VADs are used mainly for people who are waiting for heart transplants or as a long-term solution for people who can't have heart transplants.
Implantable Ventricular Assist Device
The design and type of VAD your doctor recommends will depend on your overall health, how long you'll likely need the device, and other factors.
Until recently, VADs were too big to fit in many people's chests, especially women and children. Only people who had large chests could get them.
However, recent advances have resulted in smaller, more reliable devices. This now makes treatment with VADs an option for more people.
Researchers also have made advances in how well VADs work and how much they improve people's quality of life. In the past, VADs mostly were used for people who had end-stage heart failure. Now VADs also can help people who have earlier stages of heart failure.
Children who have heart failure also can be treated with VADs. VADs approved for use in adults sometimes are used in children if the children are large enough for the device. Also, the Food and Drug Administration recently approved a VAD designed for smaller children.

April 17, 2013 —
PROMPTON, PA — Can you run 10 miles? How about 20? How about 30 miles through streams and over rocks? That's what some runners will attempt at this year's Prompton Punisher, a trail runners' race, to be held June 8 at Prompton State Park.
Participants can choose to be punished in a 10-, 20-, or 30-mile trail run. The course is 10 miles, so those doing 30 miles would circle it three times. The obstacles are natural—rocks, roots, stumps, streams and hills. Race director Paul Maopolski says it's challenging.
Maopolski started the race four years ago because he loves trail running, but found limited trails in the area and no trail runs. He and other runner friends would meet at Prompton State Park to run the trail, and he said it "sparked the idea that we needed a local trail run."
"We live in such a beautiful area," said Maopolski, who lives in Narrowsburg, NY with his wife Dee, who is also director of the race and will run in this year's 30 mile loop. "Prompton State Park is such a beautiful resource; why not get a local trail run going?" And so the Prompton Punisher was born.
Maopolski got the promotional materials out early this year so runners can begin training for the Punisher. The race has what is called an ultra marathon, which is anything over 26.2 miles. The runners who choose the 30 mile option will be running an ultra marathon, which Maopolski says is "an increasingly popular distance, believe it or not." This is the first ultra that will be held in the area.
Training for a trail run is similar to marathon training. But one difference is that in a trail race it is more difficult to keep a steady pace, because of all the twists and turns and obstacles. Maopolski said, "If you're a consistent road runner and you run some trails, you'll find yourself sore in new areas." Runners will have to be more than just runners—jumping over streams and hiking up steep inclines. The mentality is different than in a marathon, where the thought is to keep your pace. In the trail run, the thought is, "how will I conserve energy?" Maopolski said this keeps your head in the game.
But keep in mind, through all the obstacles, this is still a race. There will be prizes for the male and female first place runners in each category. Everyone who finishes the race will also get a prize; just finishing the race is a huge accomplishment. "To set a personal goal and stay focused and motivated enough to attain that goal, especially one as challenging as any of these three races, is something to really be proud of," said Maopolski.
The race is not-for-profit and 90% of the proceeds go to Hope Hill Ministry in Lake Ariel, PA to help at-risk youth in the community through equine therapy, and 10% goes to Friends of Prompton State Park. After the race, a meal will be provided by Eden, a vegan café in Scranton.
If you want to sign up for this year's Prompton Punisher, applications can be downloaded at www.hopehillministry.org [2] or www.neparunner.com [3]. Are you up for the challenge?
"Running and setting goals runs parallel with the challenges we face in our life," said Maopolski. "The courses aren't always smooth, there are obstacles involved, and that parallels most of our lives. Peaks and valleys, ups and downs, uphill and downhill, sometimes things seem like everything is moving smoothly, and other times we end up walking up that steep incline hoping it's going to end soon. So is life. When you set a goal and you stay motivated and you train for it and you attain that goal, that's a valuable life lesson—that you can overcome obstacles."

Monitoring Network Traffic with Netflow
Log files grow. That's what they're there for, after all. As a systems administrator, you need to be able to control log growth. FreeBSD provides a basic log file handler,
newsyslog program handles standard log file rotation. The oldest logs are deleted. Each old log is renamed. Finally, the current log is moved and a new log file is created. The
newsyslog program can also compress files, restart daemons, and in general handle all the routine tasks of shuffling files.
cron daemon fires up
newsyslog once an hour. It scans the
/etc/newsyslog.conf file, and checks each log file listed there. If the conditions listed for rotating the logfile are met, the log is rotated.
/etc/newsyslog.conf file uses one line per logfile. The first entry on each line is the logfile name. This is a full path, such as
The second entry is optional, and actually doesn't appear in the default
/etc/newsyslog.conf. It lists the owner and group of the file, separated by a colon like this:
Newsyslog can change the owner and group of old log files. By default, log files are owned by "root" and in the group "wheel". While changing the owner isn't commonly done, you might have use for this on multiuser machines.
You can choose to only change the owner, or only change the group. In this case, you must use a colon, even though nothing appears on the other side of it. For example,
:www will change the group to www, while
user827: will change the owner to user827.
The third field is the mode, in standard Unix three-digit notation.
Then we have a "count" field. This is the number of old log files that
newsyslog keeps -- kind of.
newsyslog starts counting archived log files at 0. Many computer systems start numbering at zero, but
newsyslog includes 0 and goes up to the count number. With the default count setting of 5 for
/var/log includes the following files:
Those of you who can count will recognize that this is six backups, not five, plus the current log file! As a rule, though, it's better to have too many files than not enough. Still, if you're tight on disk space deleting an extra log file or two might buy you some time. Similarly, some web servers can have hundreds of sites on a single server; one or two files times a hundred sites can create a lot of disk space.
Newsyslog uses the next two fields, size and time, to determine if it should rotate a log on this run. You can rotate logs at a given time, or when they reach a certain size, or both. If you use both, the log will rotate whenever either condition is met.
If either the size or time isn't important (for example, you want to rotate every day, no matter how large the file gets), use an asterisk.
The fifth field is for file size. When
newsyslog runs, it compares the size listed here to the size of the file. If the file is larger than the given size in kilobytes, it is rotated.
So far, it's easy, right?
The sixth field, time, is the one that makes new administrators cry. The time field has four possible types of value: an asterisk, a number, and two different date formats.
If you don't want to rotate a log at a particular time, put an asterisk (*) here.
If you use a plain naked number,
newsyslog will rotate the log after that many hours have passed. For example, if you want a log to rotate every 24 hours, but don't care exactly when this rotation happens, use "24" here.
Any time beginning with an "@" is in ISO-8601-restricted time format. This is a standard used by
newsyslog on most Unix systems, and was the time format originally used in MIT's primordial
newsyslog program. It's not at all clear on first sight. Since it's a standard, FreeBSD supports it.
A full date in ISO 8601 format is 16 digits with a "T" in the middle. The first four are the year; the next two are the month; the next two are the date. The letter T is inserted after the date as a sort of "decimal point," separating whole days from fractions of one. The next two digits are hours; the next are minutes; the next are seconds.
For example, the date and time "February 2, 2002, 9:15 and 8 seconds p.m.," is expressed in ISO 8601 as:
You must have a T in an ISO 8601 date.
Specifying complete dates in ISO 8601 is straightforward and obvious. The confusion comes in when you don't list the whole date. You can choose to specify only fields near the T, leaving fields further away blank. Any fields you don't fill in are wildcards, and match anything.
For example,
T23 matches every day of the year, and the 23rd hour of the day. If you use a
newsyslog time of
@T23, that log will rotate every day at 11:00 p.m.
4T00 matches midnight of the fourth day of every month, so
@4T00 will make the log rotate at that date and time.
Much like when you're working with
crontab, you need to specify hours. A date like
@7T will run once an hour, every hour, on the seventh of the month. After all, it matches all day long! This can be useful for debugging, but isn't generally useful.
One problem with this system is that it doesn't allow you to easily designate weekly jobs. It's not at all uncommon to want to rotate a log on Mondays, for example. And specifying the last day of the month is impossible. That's where the final time format comes in.
Any time with a leading cash sign (
$) is in the FreeBSD-specific month-week-day format. This works much like
cron, allowing you to set particular days of the week to run a job on.
This format uses three identifiers: M (day of month), W (day of week), and H (hour of day). Each is followed by a number indicating the particular time it should be run. Hours range from 0 to 23, while week days range from 0 (Sunday) to 6. M starts with 1, and goes up to the number of days in that particular month.
For example, if you want a log to rotate every Sunday at 8 a.m., you could use a time of
$W0H8. If you wanted the log to rotate on the fifth of the month at noon, you could use
One interesting feature of this system is that you can automatically schedule a job for the last day of the month by using the special day of the month "L". Without this, it's very difficult to do an end-of-month job without writing a script that includes how any days are in each month. If you wanted to start your month-end log file accounting two hours before the end of the month, you could use a time of
Once you've figured out how to exactly express the time you want your log to run, there's a flags field. This is optional for many logs, but vital for others.
Newsyslog inserts a "logfile turned over" message into new log files it creates. If a log file is a binary (such as,
/var/log/wtmp), adding this message would really screw up the file. The "B" flag tells
newsyslog to not write this message.
Many log files are plain ASCII text. Compressing them saves a huge amount of room. The Z flag indicates that the old log file should be compressed with
You should only use one of these flags.
The next field is the "pidfile" path. A pidfile is a simple method of recording a program's process ID so other programs can see it. Most programs store their pidfiles under
/var/run -- take a look and see what's on your system. If you list the full path to a pidfile here,
newsyslog will send a signal to that program when it rotates the log. For example, the Apache web server needs to be notified when you rotate its logs. By listing its pidfile here, you can have
newsyslog send a
kill -1 to Apache so it will handle its part of log file rotation.
Most programs will handle log file rotation on a
kill -1, or SIGHUP. Some programs need a specific signal when a log file is rotated. If you have one of these programs, you can list the exact signal number required in the last field.
Let's slap this all together in a worst-case, "you-have-got-to-be-kidding" example. Assume you have a database log file that you want to rotate at 11:00 p.m. on the last day of every month. The database documentation says that you need to send the program an interrupt signal (SIGINT, or signal number 2) upon rotation. You want the archived logs to be owned by the user "dbadmin", and only viewable by that user. You need a month of logs. What's more, the logs are binary files, and need to be untouched by
newsyslog. Your
newsyslog.conf line would look this.
/var/log/database dbadmin: 600 30 * $MLH23 B /var/run/db.pid 2
This is an extreme example; in most cases, you just slap in the file name and rotation condition and you're done.

Call me a purist, but changing the plot of a nearly 400 year fairy tale can bring out my horns. But that's what Disney has done with the fable of Sleeping Beauty.
In 1959, Disney turned the fairytale into one of the now most treasured animated features. Now, 55 years later, Disney takes its all-time most popular villain, the horned Maleficent, lifting her from the pages of the storybook, keeping her mean (in this film she's not green, however) and adds a pinch of kindness and a dash of generosity. What?
In this age of kinder and gentler, do we really have to have a villain that isn't evil all the way through? Disney sugar coats Maleficent, and, horrors, changes the ending of the timeless fable, about a princess who is put under a spell that will put her in a deathlike sleep on her 16th birthday. The curse can only be broken by a true love's kiss.
In the latest "Wicked" type craze where the lives of witches are explained prior to when we met them originally (Gregory Maguire was the one who decided to put a backstory to L. Frank Baum's most famous witch, the Wicked Witch of the West), Disney says "there's a lot about Maleficent we never knew."
The live action film introduces Maleficent as a youngster. She lives across the moat from the castle in her own enchanted land, inhabited with fantastical creatures and an army that is literally grown from trees. She meets a human boy (she's a fairy) and their friendship turns into romance. But as he grows older, he has eyes on a bigger prize — he wants to be king. After accepting a challenge from the dying king — bring him the head of the evil villainess — Prince Stefan betrays the love he perpetuated in the forest. And so things go from there.
He and his wife have a baby. Aurora is born, like in the original story, and Maleficent seeks revenge from Stefan's betrayal by casting a spell over her. But in this story, the villain turns soft, befriending Aurora (Elle Fanning) and becoming somewhat of a nurturing mother over the orphaned girl. It all seems so odd having this black leather clad, horned Mistress of Evil's heart of stone turn to mush. In this reboot, there's a new villain in town. The tables have been turned and audiences will cheer for Maleficent while boo-hissing the villain of this story, who is now Prince Stefan.
To play its dark fairy villainess, Disney tapped Angelina Jolie (who also has billing as executive producer of the film; additionally, she and Brad Pitt's daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 5, appears briefly as a young Princess Aurora). Jolie wears the role (and the large headdress of horns) well, sneering through overly bright red lips.
Jolie has always had the reputation of a dark side. Remember when she wore then-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck in a vial back in 2001? The year before, she created a stir when she passionately kissed her brother, James Haven, at the Oscars. Clad in head to toe fetishwear as Maleficent more than suits her.
This is in no way Sleeping Beauty's movie — it's all Maleficent (and Jolie) all the time. Jolie goes at the larger-than-life role with gusto. She's a bonafide movie star and that mix of star quality and glamour gives Maleficent an air that jumps off the screen (the fact that it's in 3D helps, too). Elle Fanning takes on the role of the teenage Aurora. She's just plucky enough, constantly looking wide eyed and bringing a bit more daringness to the role than the dainty princess of the 1950s story.
Adding much comic relief are pixies (Imelda Staunton, Lesley Manville, and Juno Temple) and Maleficent henchman, Sam Riley, as a crow who is turned into a man by Maleficent. He's turned into a crow, a dragon, a wolf, or whatever else the villainess needs.
This Disney story is rather dark – CG enhanced monsters attack an army of soldiers, and this is a scary rendering of the fairy tale. Parents of kids under 6 may want to gauge their child's fright quotient and decide whether they want to hear middle-of-the-night cries about monsters under the bed in the days following a family outing to "Maleficent."
The movie will rake in millions at the box office and, no doubt, the No. 1 costume requested this Halloween for both adults and kids will be Maleficent.
Don't get me wrong: "Maleficent" is worth seeing as a live-action blockbuster, just don't get me started on this pillaging of a precious tale.
