North Central College presents the student-written and –directed drama "House of Cards," an innovative play about relationships that unites multiple forms of theatre.
Three performances of "House of Cards" will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6, 7 and 8 in North Central College's theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 S. Ellsworth St., Naperville. Tickets are $5/adults and $3/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
North Central College senior Ali Ledbetter of Coal Valley, Ill., directs the production as part of the College's Student Director Series. In the Student Director Series, members of the College's theatre faculty invite students to submit a proposal to direct their own theatrical productions and the best are chosen.
As a first-time director, Ledbetter was particularly intrigued by the casting process, when dozens of actors would perform short scenes from the play during auditions. "Seeing so many performances from the show helped me define what I, as a director, wanted from my actors," she says. "In fact, a few auditions changed the direction of a certain passage from how I originally saw it in my head."
An original piece compiled by Ledbetter, "House of Cards" is a visual story that follows two lovers, Natalie and Aaron, as they fall in and out of love. Four human shadows accompany Natalie and Aaron during the show to convey the inner thoughts, emotions and pasts of the main characters. As all six characters become entangled in their relationships, the audience watches how love alters their identities.
Ledbetter says writing and directing the show was among her most rewarding experiences as a theatre student at North Central. "Writing involved quite a bit of collaboration," she says. "The play has come a long way since the early writing stages and is sure to showcase the creative efforts of the North Central team behind it."
The cast for "House of Cards" features (role, actor, town, year, major):
Aaron: Kevin Williams of Nashville, Tenn., a junior majoring in musical theatre
Natalie: Olivia Crary of New Glarus, Wis., a freshman
Aran: Ross McIntire of Galva, Ill., a senior double majoring in theatre and English literature
Natalee: Jessica Martin of Madison, Wis., a junior majoring in theatre
Aarin: Patrick Loftus of Elk Grove Village, a sophomore majoring in art education
Natali: Bethany Schick of Yorkville, a sophomore majoring in theatre
North Central College offers majors in theatre or musical theatre and a minor in dance. A full range of acting and dance classes is available, as well as opportunities to direct a full-length production. Students of all majors can participate in musical and nonmusical performances, actor showcases and one-act plays and performances in the College's four theatre venues. Full-time professors and active professionals who are artist-teachers serve as faculty. Visit northcentralcollege.edu/majors/theatre to learn more about studying theatre at North Central College.

In Search Of...Eagles4kids
A local eagles nest is home to a pair of birds with one amazing story!
"When you're watching the video, I want you to write everything you can about it." Mr. Briggs second grade class at Blair-Taylor Elementary School is working on a writing assignment like lots of second grade classes do. "Write what you want. Don't worry about spelling."
But this class is writing about something special, something very close to their hearts. "Watch what Lucy does when she comes into the nest."
Lucy and her mate Larry are Eagles living in a nest just outside of town. Thanks to a grant back in 2010 that helped pay for cameras, the students can get a bird's eye view of all the action. "Shall we try to zoom in on the eye? Yeah!"
The Eagles4Kids website streams 24 hours a day. Last year, folks who logged on watched Larry and Lucy welcome two little eaglets. "Their names are Luke and Lily."
But this year has been different. This year lessons have been learned that were totally unexpected. "It was probably Nov. 16th, 17th that Lucy came in for the first time and we could tell something wasn't right. We could tell by the movements in her body."
Within a few weeks pictures confirmed a badly injured leg. "The talons were kind of stiff and straighten up and we knew at that point that it would fall off or break away."
And for eagle, losing a foot can be a death sentence. "It was difficult. For us - emotionally attached to the project."
Eagle experts tried to capture Lucy hoping to either help with her injury or if needed, help put an end to her pain. "And luckily we weren't successful. If we were, she probably would have been put down. We decided to pull away and give her the best chance understanding that people have disabilities and so do animals. Letting them be and see what happens."
And an extraordinary thing did happen. Unable to hunt or care for herself, Larry started caring for her. "Larry pretty much stands guards and is always close by. She will sit right by him and that's not typical."
"He is nice," says 8-year-old Zack. "He brings in sticks and food. Sometimes chickens."
"Mr. Briggs thinks a farmer is missing three chickens because Larry brought her thee chickens."
"It is a strong bond. I don't think we understand how significant it is. The word love...is it love or is it just what bald eagles do?? Don't know."
Lucy is now adapting to life with one foot. "Sometimes she'll use a wing to stabilize...like right there..."
And having already surprised everyone with her determination, turns out Lucy had one more surprise left in her. "We're like, did she lay an egg yet, says 8-year-old Lydia." "Yet? Yet? And my mom said Lydia come here and I was like YAHOO!!"
Now all eyes are watching and waiting. "April 16th is our 'about' number. Of course we're on Eagle time. It could be earlier, it could be later. 37 days is the general rule. In nature nothing is a guarantee. I tell the kids 'don't put the cart before the horse.' And they understand that. We hope there's a hatch, everyone hopes that there's a catch but there could not be."
Lucy's future may be uncertain but one thing is for sure: she's taught a lesson no one will soon forget. "We have to give all people as well as animals the chance to achieve. Look at every body as they are...things that they can do not things that they can't do. And that's really what it's all about."

In response, Boehner's spokesman said Reid should stop talking and instead take up legislation passed by the House that would avert the fiscal cliff.
"The House has already passed legislation to avoid the entire fiscal cliff. Senate Democrats have not," said the spokesman, Michael Steel.
Reid and Democrats reject the GOP proposals, which would extend all the Bush tax cuts and revamp the spending cuts of the fiscal cliff, as insufficient steps that would shift too much of the burden of deficit reduction on the middle class.
Instead, Reid called on Boehner to allow a vote on a Senate-passed measure that would implement Obama's plan to extend tax cuts to the $250,000 threshold. However, McConnell rejected that possibility on Thursday in seeking to focus the debate on revising House-passed measures.
Rep. Nan Hayworth, R-New York, acknowledged Wednesday that a deal will have to include some form of higher rates on top income brackets, but she said her party would fight to make it as minimal as possible.
Hayworth also made clear to CNN that a limited agreement was the most to expect for now, saying: "I don't think we're going to get the big plan in the next six days."
A statement Wednesday by Boehner's leadership team said the Senate must act first on proposals already passed by the House but rejected by Senate leaders and Obama.
"If the Senate will not approve and send them to the president to be signed into law in their current form, they must be amended and returned to the House," the leadership statement said. "Once this has occurred, the House will then consider whether to accept the bills as amended, or to send them back to the Senate with additional amendments. The House will take this action on whatever the Senate can pass, but the Senate first must act."
Obama and Democrats have leverage, based on the president's re-election last month and Democratic gains in the House and Senate in the new Congress. In addition, polls consistently show majority support for Obama's position on taxes.
The Gallup daily tracking poll released Wednesday showed 54% of respondents support Obama's handling of the fiscal cliff negotiations, compared with 26% who approve of Boehner's performance.
A senior Senate Democratic source told CNN on Wednesday that Reid has made clear in private conversations that he will need assurance that any plan can pass both the Senate and the House before he will bring it up.
"It is to nobody's advantage to have a failed Senate vote at this point," the source said on condition of not being identified. "This will be the last train we will have, and there is no sense in it leaving the station before we have assurance it will get through."
Remaining questions include whether enough Republicans will support a compromise acceptable to Democrats, and whether McConnell and Senate Republicans will allow a simple majority vote to take up and pass any proposal, or stick to the filibuster level of 60%.
"We believe very strongly a reasonable package can get majorities in both houses," a senior White House official said. "The only thing that would prevent it is if Senator McConnell and Speaker Boehner don't cooperate."
Some Senate Democrats have discussed holding off on bringing up a proposal until the final days of 2012 to increase pressure on Republicans to support avoiding higher taxes on everyone due to the fiscal cliff.
While the focus now is on a possible agreement in coming days or weeks, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist told CNN this week that the nation should gird for long-range battle.
"It's four years of a fight. It's not one week of a fight," said Norquist, who has threatened to mount primary challenges against Republicans who violate a pledge they signed at his behest against ever voting for a tax increase.
He predicted "a regular fight" when Congress needs to authorize more government spending and raise the federal debt ceiling in coming months.
"There the Republicans have a lot of clout because they can say we'll let you run the government for the next month, but you've got to make these reforms," he said.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner informed Congress that the government would reach its borrowing limit at the end of the year -- in five days' time -- but could take steps to create what he called "headroom" for two months or so.
However, Geithner said uncertainty about the fiscal cliff negotiations and possible changes to the deficit situation made it difficult to predict precisely how long the government's steps to ease the situation would last.
The GOP opposition to any kind of tax rate increase has stalled deficit negotiations for two years and led to unusual political drama, such as McConnell recently filibustering a proposal he introduced and last week's rebuff by House Republicans of the alternative tax plan pushed by Boehner, their leader.
Reid and other Senate Democrats say House Republicans must accept that an agreement will require support from legislators in both parties, rather than a GOP majority in the House pushing through a measure on its own.
Some House Republicans have said they would join Democrats in supporting the president's proposal in hopes of moving past the volatile issue to focus on the spending cuts and entitlement reforms they seek.
The possibility of a fiscal cliff was set in motion over the past two years as a way to force action on mounting government debt.

/ Conservation Activity Plans
The first batching date for FY2014 is December 20, 2013
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program for persons who are engaged in livestock, forestry, or agricultural production, including organic production.
EQIP offers financial assistance for producers interested in obtaining a Conservation Activity Plan for their eligible agricultural land. A Conservation Activity Plan (CAP) combines specific land use objectives associated with a renewable resource with a comprehensive management plan that addresses all of the natural resource concerns within an agriculture or forestry operation. The purpose of a CAP is to outline a combination of vegetative, structural, and/or management practices necessary to protect and sustain natural resources on agricultural and forest landscapes, and to serve as a blueprint for future implementation of conservation practices.
Applicants must have an interest in an agricultural operation and be compliant with the conservation provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill with current crop and producer records on file with USDA's Farm Service Agency. They must own or control the land, and agree to implement conservation practices according to the contract schedule.
Land is not eligible for a CAP if it is currently enrolled in another USDA Farm Bill conservation program, such as the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) or Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Land is also ineligible if it is publicly owned, unless the publicly owned land is part of an eligible landowners operation.
CAP applications may be submitted any time during the year. CAP requests will be funded several times throughout the year following advertised batching dates.
EQIP CAP contracts are written with a minimum term that ends one year after the payment is certified for the contracted plan. Contracts are legally binding documents. The plan must be completed within 12 months of contract signing or the contract will be in a non-compliance status subject to termination.
Program payment rates for CAPs are calculated to be approximately 75% of the typical cost of plan preparation by an approved Technical Service Provider. If the applicant is a beginning farmer, socially disadvantaged, or limited resource producer (all considered historically underserved categories), the rates are 90%. Payments are made after the CAP is submitted to NRCS for review.
List of CAPs
Contracts are subject to payment limitations. No applicant may receive more than $300,000 during any 6-year period. Organic farms have a limitation of $80,000 during any 6-year period with an annual limit of $20,000.

She's been having very few diapers for a long time and I feel drier and drier. I just don't know whether I should give her formula or fresh cow milk? Also, I brought my daughter for a shot a few days ago and she weighed almost the same as two months ago! Should I be concerned about this? She now weighs 11.4kg

- Abstract
- We compare the semi-analytic models of galaxy formation of Fu et al. (2010), which track the evolution of the radial profiles of atomic and molecular gas in galaxies, with gas fraction scaling relations derived from the COLD GASS survey (Saintonge et al 2011). The models provide a good description of how condensed baryons in galaxies with gas are partitioned into stars, atomic and molecular gas as a function of galaxy stellar mass and surface density. The models do not reproduce the tight observed relation between stellar surface density and bulge-to-disk ratio for this population. We then turn to an analysis of the"quenched" population of galaxies without detectable cold gas. The current implementation of radio-mode feedback in the models disagrees strongly with the data. In the models, gas cooling shuts down in nearly all galaxies in dark matter halos above a mass of 10**12 M_sun. As a result, stellar mass is the observable that best predicts whether a galaxy has little or no neutral gas. In contrast, our data show that quenching is largely independent of stellar mass. Instead, there are clear thresholds in bulge-to-disk ratio and in stellar surface density that demarcate the location of quenched galaxies. We propose that processes associated with bulge formation play a key role in depleting the neutral gas in galaxies and that further gas accretion is suppressed following the formation of the bulge, even in dark matter halos of low mass.

Healthy eating also involves preparing food to preserve nutrients and prevent disease, as well as paying attention to food production issues.
When preparing food, aim to preserve the nutrient value of the food and utilize healthy fats, reasonable portions, and whole foods. Here are a few tips:
Foodborne illnesses don't just come from restaurants. In fact, they usually come from bad food preparation, serving, and storage at home. Follow the guidelines below to keep your food as safe as possible:
Note that those at high-risk for foodborne illness should follow additional guidelines. This includes:
Food production is another important component of nutrition [3] and health. This is a complex issue with lots of factors, some of which you cannot control. For example, food grown in healthy soil will supply necessary trace minerals to the food, but when soils are pressured for large-scale production, essential trace minerals can be lost.
However, you can make many choices:

Mr. Atwater: Have you forgotten that for every alcoholic or addict there's about five other people who are significantly affected?
I grew up in an alcoholic home. My dad was a regular, old fashioned, blackout bar drinker. He wasn't physically abusive, more verbal and neglectful, but his alcoholism left its mark. I'm a 52-year-old ex-heavy equipment operator and a far cry from a complainer or a "pillow-hugger." I like to think of myself as a pragmatist.
Here's some of what I've learned. Some of us go "hero" and get perfectionistic. We try to rescue everybody's self-esteem and usually crash and burn under the weight of our own expectations.
Some of us rebel and make our life's goal to have an oppositional-defiant personality disorder (my younger brother). Most of these end up going toward chemical dependency.
Some of us never learn to have a core self and are always acting in relation to others. We then become extensions of other people, get resentful and implode. These guys usually marry addicts.
Others of us have deep abandonment issues and are in constant need of others' approval. We become actors, lose track of ourselves and often end up in the "cracker factory" trying to figure it all out.
Some of us just become bitter and angry, especially at alcoholics. We isolate, avoid relationship entanglements and live unhappily ever after.
There's recovery available for us, too. I was a "hero" type, so I guess, to some extent, writing this letter means I still am, but the good news is in recovery I've learned I can keep the good stuff and let go of what's harmful. I never imagined what happened in my family would affect me this way, but it did, and it nearly took me out. It's not my dad's fault – he has a disease. He's in recovery now, too.
I started in therapy quite a few years back and ended up in an ACA group. That's "Adult Children of Alcoholics" groups. It changed my life. I went back to school and am almost finished with a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certificate now myself and hope to be able to pass some of this along.
Dear Reader: Congratulations on both your recovery and your CADC. I really can't say it any better than you have. I'm a supporter of recovery in all its forms and have aimed more than a few people to ACA groups. There aren't as many in our area as there used to be, and I hope your letter will help spark a resurgence of awareness for adult children of alcoholics.

This carnivorous collection of recipes is sure to please even the most discerning steak lover.
Perfect Steak Lover's Recipes
View Recipe: Tuscan-Style New York Strip with Arugula Artichoke Salad
No matter what the season, we doubt any other similarly prepared meat can quite compare to the mouthwatering sizzle of steak on the grill. But, somewhere in the preparation, your delicious steak can turn into in a flavorless disaster. Luckily, this collection—along with our Steak Cuts Guide—will help you achieve grilled steak perfection every time.
Based on the classic bistecca Fiorentina—grilled porterhouse—Tuscan-Style New York Strip with Arugula Artichoke Salad uses sirloin strip steaks, which are leaner (and, because they're boneless, a little easier to grill) than porterhouse. Lemon juice is a traditional accent in the dish, meant to cut the richness of the meat. Use a mandoline to slice the artichokes thinly and evenly.

When you install FreeBSD, you are plunged into the wonderful world of TCP/IP. You may have heard about DNS, ports, RFCs, private ranges, and subnet masks but may be foggy on what these are and why you should care. This article will be a primer on the TCP/IP protocol for the novice and a refresher with some interesting links for those more seasoned FreeBSD users.
First off, let's make sure you are clear on what a protocol is. By definition, a protocol is the rules of communication. If you are travelling in a foreign country, you need to be aware of the customs of that country. A gesture that may seem friendly or insignificant to you may actually be considered an insult in other parts of the world. Awareness of protocol can save you the embarassment of miscommunication.
Protocols are even more important if two computers wish to exchange information. Amazingly, computers communicate by subtly changing millions of electrical pulses, light pulses, or radio waves per second. Both computers need to be using the same protocol, or set of rules, to correctly interpret which of these pulses represent the address of the computer to receive the data, the address of the computer that sent the data, the data itself, and confirmation that the data received was the same data that was sent.
TCP/IP is more than a protocol; it is a protocol suite, or collection of protocols. TCP/IP was designed to allow any operating system on any type of hardware to talk to any other computer in the world. This is something we take for granted in the age of the Internet, but before TCP/IP changed all of the rules, operating systems, hardware, and protocols were proprietary. Proprietary means that in order to exchange information with another computer, it has to be running the same hardware and the same version of the same operating system, which was provided by the vendor of the hardware.
Because TCP/IP is a collection of protocols, new protocols can be added as the capabilities of networking evolve. The designers of TCP/IP left room for the creation of up to 65,535 application protocols. To keep track of all of these application protocols (or rules for how an application expects to receive data), each is assigned a number known as a port number. For example, the port number for Telnet is 23 and the port number for http is 80. If I wish to Telnet into a computer, TCP/IP will send out packets that contain (among other information we'll ignore for the moment) the port number 23. The other computer will realize that I wish to use the rules for Telnet, which are very different than, say, the rules for surfing or checking my e-mail.
Since TCP/IP is non-proprietary, anyone can add new functionality to TCP/IP, pending a review process of their peers known as the RFC or Request For Comments. RFCs were started before the actual development of TCP/IP and have become a fascinating record of each step in the evolution of TCP/IP and the Internet. Ever wonder about who invented DNS and why and all the nitty-gritty details of how DNS actually works? The answer lies in the associated RFCs, which are available for anyone to read via the Internet.
There are many good sites on the Internet where you can search for and read RFCs. Two of these are:
Perhaps you've been told that reading RFCs is as much fun as reading manpages. Admittedly, RFCs can be written by anyone, so writing styles will differ. Some good RFCs to start with are:
Anyway, back to ports. Your FreeBSD system contains a database file of
port numbers and associated TCP/IP applications in
/etc/services. If you need to know the port number for an application or vice-versa, a quick
grep of this file will reveal the information:
grep ssh /etc/services
ssh 22/tcp #Secure Shell Login
ssh 22/udp #Secure Shell Login
grep -w 69 /etc/services
tftp 69/tcp #Trivial File Transfer
tftp 69/udp #Trivial File Transfer
With these two commands, I've determined that the port number used by
ssh is 22 and that port 69 is used by the
tftp application. Note that I used
-w for the second
grep; if you try the same command without the switch,
grep will return all port numbers with a 69 in them.
Also note that each application has two port numbers: one for TCP and one for UDP. TCP and UDP are known as transport protocols. While there are thousands of TCP/IP applications, there are only two ways of "transporting" an application's data between computers. UDP is the connectionless transport, meaning that it just sends out data without double-checking that the other computer is ready to receive the data. This is similar to you just showing up at a friend's house in the hope that he may be home. TCP is the connection-oriented transport; it will not send out any data until it has contacted the other computer to ensure that it is ready to receive data. This would be similar to you phoning your friend first to see if he is home and willing to have you come over for a visit.
Once TCP/IP has determined which application you wish to use and how that application wishes to transport its data, it needs a mechanism to make sure the data makes it to the right computer. In other words, it needs an addressing scheme. The only type of address TCP/IP understands is an IP address; if your computer does not have an IP address, you can't use TCP/IP. Most operating systems use IPv4 (IP version 4) IP addresses, but this will be changing within the next few years as the Internet is slowly transitioned over to IPv6. If you are running FreeBSD 4.0 and above, your system understands both versions of IP addresses.
In IPv4, an IP address is divided into two parts: one part indicates the address of the network and the second part indicates the address of the host. (In TCP/IP, anything with an IP address is called a host, or sometimes a node.) All IPv4 addresses contain four numbers ranging from 0-255 separated by three periods; this is called dotted decimal notation. Each number is the decimal equivalent of eight binary bits, so it really represents an octet, or eight numbers. Which octets represent the network and the host addresses depends upon the class of IP address, as seen in the following table:
Network ID
Host ID
first octet
last three octets
first two octets
last two octets
first three octets
last octet
To determine the class of an IP address, compare the number in the first octet to the Range column of the table. For example, 22.214.171.124 is a Class B address, since the 163 in the first octet falls within the range of 128-191. Because it is a Class B address, the first two octets, 163.48, represent the network address, and the last two octets, 92.47, represent the host address.
TCP/IP was designed to use a globally unique addressing scheme. This means you can't just make up an IP address for your computer, because it may conflict with an IP address that someone paid money to use. Network portions of an IP address are purchased to guarantee they are unique; once you have a network address, you can do whatever you want with the host addresses as long as no two computers in your network have the same host address.
Fortunately, each class of IP address also has a reserved private range. Anyone can use a private range network address for their own network; the only caveat is that you'll need a real (or purchased) IP address if you want to leave your network: for example, if you want to access the Internet. The following table shows the private ranges:
Private Range
172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x
It is a good thing to use one of the private ranges on your network; which class you use is up to you. Most networks use a combination of private range IP addresses and NAT, or Network Address Translation. NAT is a software mechanism that allows a network of private addresses (which can't go on the Internet) to share a real IP address (which can go on the Internet).
Every IPv4 address must also have a subnet mask. I won't get into subnet masking in this article as that topic alone would fill a whole other article. If you're curious about subnet masking, 3Com's article on Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about IP addressing is a must-read.
However, you do need to be aware of the default subnet masks so you can use the correct subnet mask for your IP address. The default subnet masks are different for each class:
Default Subnet Mask
In my test network, I have three computers. I've decided to use the private Class A network range, the default subnet mask, and to use host addressess of 1, 2, and 3. This translates into the following addresses:
IP address
Subnet mask
On the computer named alpha, I used the
ifconfig utility to "bind" an IP address to its NIC. In order to do this, I first had to determine the device name of the NIC using the following command:
dmesg | grep Ethernet
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:b4:94:9d:3f
which shows that the device name of alpha's NIC is rl0. To see if there is an IP address bound to your NIC, use the following command if you're
running FreeBSD 4.0 and above (but substitute your NIC's device name for
ifconfig rl0 inet
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ifconfig: rl0 has no inet interface address!
If you're running FreeBSD version 3.x or below, you do not use the
inet argument as these versions only support IPv4 addresses.
This NIC does not have an IPv4 address; I'll use the
ifconfig command like so to assign one:
ifconfig rl0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): permission denied
Note that regular users have sufficient permission to view, but not to change, the IP address assigned to a NIC. Let's become the superuser and try again:
ifconfig rl0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 exit
ifconfig rl0 inet
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
Once you've bound an IP address to a NIC, you'll want to use the ping utility to ensure that the NIC can send and receive TCP/IP packets.
ping 127.0.0.1
is called pinging your loopback address. This will check that TCP/IP has been initialized on your system. If this test does not work, you can't use TCP/IP.
ping 10.0.0.1
will check that your IP address is valid. If this test does not work, check that you have a valid IP address and subnet mask and that no other host is using the same IP address.
ping 10.0.0.2
If you have another host on your network, ping its IP address. If this last test works, you're in business. If not, double-check your network cabling and ensure that the other computer is turned on and that you are pinging the correct address.

DNS and Bind, 4th Edition
TCP/IP uses IP addresses, but humans like to use hostnames. Quick, what's
the IP address of www.yahoo.com? Don't feel bad if you don't know, as you
don't need to in order to access Yahoo's webpage. Hostname resolution was
designed to map hostnames to the IP addresses that TCP/IP understands. If
you have a small network, you can use the
/etc/hosts file to provide hostname resolution. DNS databases provide the same function in larger
networks and on the Internet. DNS is far beyond the scope of this
article; if you need to setup a DNS server, I highly recommend that you first
read DNS and BIND by Cricket Liu and Paul Albitz. The DNS Resources Directory site also contains many useful documents on DNS.
However, editing the
/etc/hosts file is an easy matter. First, you need to know, and possibly set, your hostname using the hostname utility. Anyone
can view the computer's hostname by typing
hostname. Only root can change the computer's hostname. One way to change a computer's hostname is like so:
hostname alpha
This will set the computer's hostname to alpha.
Once the computers in your network have hostnames, you should edit the
/etc/hosts file so you can access resources by hostname instead of IP address. Again, only root can modify this file. Each of the computers in
my network has an
/etc/hosts file that looks like this:
more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.1 alpha
10.0.0.2 beta
10.0.0.3 gamma
After you edit the
/etc/hosts file, always try pinging the hostnames that you've added. For example:
ping alpha
ping beta
ping gamma
If any of the pings fail, you either have a typo in your
etc/hosts file or the hostname has not been set on that computer.
Well, that's probably enough about TCP/IP for one day. We'll be revisiting TCP/IP in future articles and will add more details to these basic concepts as we go along. Next week, we'll explore the world of e-mail and how your FreeBSD system uses two TCP/IP ports to allow you to exchange e-mail messages with the world.

Review about The Sun Is Burning -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gentle horror | Reviewer: George Sweeney | 6/12/11 I feel this is the most poignant and wrenching appraisal ever made of the horror that is the atom. In a few well chosen words, S & G have captured the essence of the black cloud that hangs over the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of S & G's greatest ever...thank goodness its released | Reviewer: notabout me | 5/7/11 After my vinyl records were thrown out and i slowly replaced the essential ones, like Wednesday Morning at 3 am, I was thrilled to hear the additional songs released on the CD. The Sun Is Burning In the Sky is one of the best S & G songs recorded. Their sweet harmony has never moved or blended better. It is exquisite. On every level. The song is so deceptively welcoming, and simplistic sounding. Its music and lyrics are a counterpoint to one another. Just brilliant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oh - wow!!! | Reviewer: John van Gelderen | 3/10/10 I am 55 years old. I knew this album existed, but never listened to it. Simon and Garfunkel sometimes built powerful, sad and twisted messeges in songs that sounded so sweet, like Barbara Allen and Down In the Willow Garden on the Angel Clair album. The Sun is Burning sounds so sweet and peaceful. It took me about five to ten repeats to hear how early in the song they transition from a peaceful sunset to something that rises instead, the thing we still fear, forty five years after the song was written, the bright flash, and the mushroom cloud. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review the song The Sun Is Burning The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.

The City of Mill Valley has drafted its General Plan Update, known as "MV2040," with the assistance and guidance from 43 community members serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) and three Working Groups (Land Use & Mobility, Natural Environment and Community Vitality) for a 12-month period, host over 50 public meetings.
The City is currently hosting a 45-day public review period for the Draft Environmental Impact Report, and welcomes your comments of the Draft MV2040 General Plan, 2009-2014 Housing Element and Draft Environmental Impact Report from July 10 through August 26, 2013.
See below for more information on the draft documents, public review period and overall approval process.
Draft MV2040 General Plan: The City's General Plan serves as a long-term vision for the future of the community, as well as a basis for short- and long-term decisions that affect all aspects of our community's daily life: land use, transportation, housing, community facilities and services, the environment, and much more. The City's General Plan was last completely updated and approved by City Council in 1989. The Housing Element, which is part of the General Plan, must be updated according specific provisions of state law, and was last updated in 2003. The planning horizon for the updated General Plan is 2040 (hence the "2040 General Plan" title), and contains the following chapters, also known as "elements":
Each element begins with a purpose statement and a summary of existing conditions, followed by goals, policies and programs for action. The content of the MV2040 General Plan is based on the community's vision, values and input gathered during the past 12 months through the numerous public meetings of the General Plan Advisory Committee and three Working Group (Land Use & Mobility, Natural Environment and Community Vitality). Click here, for more information on those meetings.
A preliminary Draft MV2040 General Plan was released to the public in April. Since then, the General Plan Advisory Committee has held three public meetings to review and comment, as well as take public comment on the Draft. Those changes have been incorporated into the current Draft MV2040 General Plan, which we are referring to as the "Planning Commission Public Hearing Draft". That document has been released for further public review and comment on July 10, 2013 in anticipation of Planning Commission public hearings later this month. See the schedule below for further information.
2009-2014 Housing Element: Although the Housing Element is a required element of the General Plan, it is different from all other elements because it is subject to specific provisions of state law regarding the timing of its preparation and adoption, its content, and it is the only element of the General Plan subject to a separate review and approval (called "certification") by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City of Mill Valley has not adopted a Housing Element for the current 5-year cycle of 2009-2014. The MV2040 General Plan includes an updated and revised Housing Element for the 2009-2014 cycle. The Draft 2009-2014 Housing Element is a result of numerous meetings before the Land Use and Mobility Working Group and the General Plan Advisory Committee.
A preliminary draft of the Housing Element was released to the public in February of 2013. The preliminary draft received an initial review by HCD that was completed in April and then a final review by the General Plan Advisory Committee in May. A revised 2009-2014 Housing Element has been prepared that incorporates the initial comments from HCD, the public and the General Plan Advisory Committee. This document is also being released for further public review in association with the Draft MV2040 General Plan and upcoming Planning Commission public hearings. See schedule below for details.
Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR): The preparation of a General Plan is a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As a result, the City has prepared the Draft MV2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and is now soliciting public comments. The required 45-day public comment period will run from July 10 to August 26, 2013. The Draft EIR for the MV2040 General Plan and 2009-2014 Housing Element is a "Program EIR", which focuses on broad policies, alternatives and program-wide mitigation measures. A program EIR addresses those probable environmental effects that can be identified, but also allows the City to defer more specific environmental analysis to later, site-specific projects or program implementation.
For more information on the Draft EIR, see the Notice of Availability; or go to www.cityofmillvalley.org/generalplan to download the Draft EIR.
Submit written or electronic comments on the Draft EIR by 3pm on August 26, 2013 to Danielle Staude, Senior Planner, City of Mill Valley, 26 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941 or via e-mail at email@example.com. You may also comment on the DEIR in person at one of the Planning Commission public hearings listed below.
Planning Commission Public Hearings: Public hearings on the Draft MV2040 General Plan, the Draft 2009-2013 Housing Element and the Draft MV2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) will be held by the Mill Valley Planning Commission on the following dates:
Mill Valley City Hall Council Chambers26 Corte Madera AveueMill Valley, CA
All of the scheduled hearings can be viewed online on the City's webcast site.
Draft Documents: The Draft MV2040 General Plan, the Draft 2009-2014 Housing Element and the Draft EIR can be downloaded at www.cityofmillvalley.org/GeneralPlan. Paper copies of all of the documents can also be reviewed at Mill Valley City Hall (26 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA) and the Mill Valley Public Library Reference Desk (375 Throckmorton Avenue, Mill Valley, CA) during normal business hours. (Note: Mill Valley City Hall is closed every other Friday and from 12-1pm every day).
Next Steps: At the conclusion of the 45-day review period for the DEIR (August 26, 2013), the Planning Commission, as part of the agenda for its regular meeting on that date will consider a resolution to the City Council certify the MV2040 General Plan EIR and approve the MV2040 General Plan, and the 2009-2014 Housing Element. The City Council's public hearings on the General Plan and General Plan EIR will include all comments and recommendations from the Planning Commission public hearings for revisions to the General Plan, the Housing Element and the General Plan Final EIR. City Council public hearings will begin in September 2013. Further details and public notice on those hearings will be provided once Planning Commission hearings near completion.

Sights to See
Andipatti: Andipatti is a taluk headquarters, comprising a number of villages including small hamlets in the Ghat section of Varushanad hill ranges. Handlooms and textiles are popular here.
Mavoothu: The main attraction in Mavoothu is the Vellappar Temple. This holy shrine is situated in the Varushanad hill ranges, 20 km from Andipatti. Nestling among the hills, the temple is located atop a peak, surrounded by natural vegetation. Transport is available up to the foot hills only. Rain water gathers around the mango trees near this temple and flows down hill in torrents. This has given the place the name "mavoothu" which in Tamil stands for "spring of the mango grove". This place has a perennial water source. Legend says that the main vigraha (idol) of this temple was discovered by the local tribes called Paliyars while the temple was constructed by the then Kandamanur Zamindar. The temple has shrine of Vinayaka and Saptakannikas. It is believed that a ritual bath in the spring and eating food cooked in the water will cure the incurable of diseases. Puja timings are: 7.30 am to 8.30 am and 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm.
The important festivals of Adi Amavasya (Blue moon) and Thai Amavasya are celebrated with gaiety. There is also an annual festival in the month of Chithirai.
Devadanapatti: The main shrine in Devadanapatti is Kamatchi Amman Temple. It is situated on the banks of the Manjal River. This temple is 3 km from Devadanapatti in Theni district. In this temple, the doors to the sanctum sanctorum are never opened, and all the pujas are offered only to the portals. The special puja performed in the evening to the accompaniment of local musical instruments is a spectacular audio-visual feast. The important festivals in Kamatchi Amman Temple are Masi Maham, Shivarathri, which falls in February-March.
Balasubramanya Temple: One of the important temples in Periyakulam is Arulmigu Balasubramanya Temple. This was constructed by Rajendra Chola nearly 2,000 years ago. King Rajendra Chola while hunting in Agamalai near the banks of the Varaha River inadvertently killed a sow which was suckling its young ones. Seeing the hungry piglets, Lord Muruga fed them. King Rajendra Chola constructed this temple in memory of this divine event. Since Brahma theertha runs in this river it is believed that any incurable disease is cured by a bath in this river. The old name of Periyakulam is Kuzhanthai Maanagaram.
Sothupparai Dam: Sothupparai dam is located 12 km from Periyakulam across the Varaha River. It is a beautiful picnic spot.
Kumbakkarai Falls: Comparatively less known, these falls offer a breathtaking view. Situated on the foothills of the Kodaikkanal hills, the falls are located 8 km from Periyakulam. The water from these falls is full of goodness of minerals and herbs. There are two stages in these falls. At the first stage water gathers in huge rocky recesses which are variously named after wild animals such as tiger, elephant, snake, etc., before falling as the main fall.
Veerapandi: Gowmariamman Temple, which is located here, attracts many pilgrims. This 14th century temple was built by the Pandya King Veerapandi. The Pandya king is said to have regained his vision by praying to Gowmariamman and Kanneeswaramudaiyar. Close by the temple, the perennial Mullai River runs its course. The temple is located nearly 8 km from Theni.
Chinnamanur: This was formerly known as Harikesarinallur and it is mentioned in Tholkappium. This municipal town is a business hub for the nearby villages. Weekly Shandy here is very popular. Shivagamiamman Temple located on the banks of the Mullai River is worth visiting.
Theertha Thotti: This natural spring is located on the Madurai-Kochi national highway between Theni and Bodinayakkanur. Subramanya Temple here is a popular pilgrim centre.
Suruli Falls: The Suruli Falls which fall from a height of 150 feet gathers into a pool, flows for a short distance and again plummets to a depth of 40 feet, offering a spectacular sight of nature's raw and wild beauty. The dense forests that surround it provide an awesome backdrop. Facilities are available for men and women to bath separately in these falls. The special feature of the falls is that it is 'a year-round' fall. However, the best season to visit is June-October, when the thickness of the water column is astounding. The beauty of these falls finds mention in Tamil epic, Silappathikaram written by poet Ilango. Kailasanathar Temple Cave is located near Suruli Falls. There are 18 caves in and around the Suruli Falls. The Kailasanathar Cave Temple is situated 800 m above the falls and has a spring, which possesses water of curative powers. A Dargah named after Abubacker Masthan is another important place of worship in Suruli. This is the place where the body of Abubacker Masthan is interred. This is very close to the cave temple of Kailashanatha. Abubacker was a Muslim mystic who lived around the 1630s. Another temple for Lord Karthikeya is also located near the falls, which is called Suruli Vellappar Temple. Devotees carry pots of milk on Saturdays in the Tamil month of Chithirai to this temple.
Meghamalai: This scenic place is dotted with tea estates and cardamom plantations. Situated at an elevation of 1,500 m above sea level, the place is rich in flora and fauna.
Bodinayakkanur: Located on the foothills of the West Ghats, this town is popular for cardamom, mango and coffee market.
Bodi Mettu: A hill resort situated at a height of 4,500 feet, it is a most scenic place. It is 26 km from Bodinayakkanur.
Tiger Falls: A dainty falls on the route to Munnar between Bodi and Bodi Mettu from Theni.

Here's a word I heard today, and wondered if anyone has heard it used before...
Have you seen it in context for a small amount?

hi Prof, welcome.
Sorry, I had not personally encountered this at all. But I see Urban Dictionary gives two janus meanings:
1. scosche 102 up, 14 down
A small amount, a tiny bit
Move a scosche
A scosche of food
A scosche of work left
2. scosche 7 up, 102 down
a large amout of bull crap
that was quite a scosche of beer
would you like a breakfast scosche?
I'd like a scosche of doughnuts
fwiw, the crowdsource response gives your usage the popular nod. Can you give a context of how you have heard it?

Loc: this too shall pass
I was surprised to find so little dictionary help for this, to me, a common enough word; then it dawned on me that the usual spelling it skosh: you'll see why from the etymology..
Etymology: < Japanese sukoshi a little, somewhat.
U.S. slang [prob. from the Korean War era - mf]
A little, a small amount; freq. used advb. in the expression a skosh, slightly, somewhat.
[1955 Amer. Speech 30 44 Along with.. everyday greetings, Bamboo English employs sukoshi few, some and its antonym takusan plenty, both of which are forthwith made into two-syllable words, dispensing with the voiceless Japanese u.]
1959 (recorded by Prof. A. L. Hench, Univ. of Virginia) 10 May, Just a skosh, he said. When I asked him what he meant he said he had picked the word up in Korea. It means a little bit. Just a little bit left was his meaning.
1977 Detroit Free Press 19 Dec. 4- c/1 In the ad, a slightly out-of-breath jogger laments middle-age body bulge and tells how glad he is that a new line of Levis for men is constructed with a skosh more room where I need it.
1988 Cycle World Sept. 37/1 The GSX-R's seat is more comfortable than the Yamaha's thinly padded perch, and its bars are a skosh higher.

Mi sainted grandmither of blessed memory used the term
when baking, as in, "now just a scosche more flour, and
it's good to go".
Not an unfamiliar term to me._________________________

Good catch, wise one! So we have an example of folk etymology taking place before our eyes, it would seem: alteration of an unfamiliar sk~ combination to align more closely with familiar words like scorch, scotch, scamp, and so on.

The Japanese word sounds a lot like /skoʃ/ to English ears due to the vowel devoicing. So it's not surprising it would be spelled skosh or scosche.

I've often heard and used it, but never seen or written it. took me a minute seeing "scosche"to think of what was meant.
hmm, skoshe. I think I woulda spelt it that way._________________________
