A plethora of pedaling possibilities
The Columbus Dispatch - August 20, 2013 10:50 AM
There's a full slate of organized bike rides coming up the next several weekends.
And by organized, I mean: You pay a fee, sometimes get a T-shirt, and there's SAG support along the way to keep you hydrated.
I think I'll ride a couple of them…
Sat. August 24 (this Saturday): Steve Barbour Memorial Ride. Distances: 62 and 100. Steve was a well-known biker and advocate who was killed while riding.
Sat. Aug. 31: Bike the C-Bus. This is sort of a neighborhood stroll through Columbus, on a bike. About 25 to 30 miles.
Sat. Sept. 7: Tour de Donut. I can't make it this year, but am intrigued by this race, in which you get time off for every donut you eat along the way. I think I can eat a dozen! Maybe next year. Distance: 30.
Sun. Sept. 8: Dry Run Bicycle Tour.This is a popular ride organized by the Westerville Bicycle Club. Distance: 35, 54, 70 and 100.
Sat. Sept. 14: Pedal for Pets. A low key, family-type event with kid rides. Distances: 1-5, 10, 20, 40.
Sat. Sept. 21: Deaf Bike Challenge. I don't know much about this one, but it looks like a good ride & cause. Distances: 10, 32, 66, 100.
Sat. - Sun. Sept. 28-29. Columbus Fall Challenge. This is for big-mileage lovers! Two days and a century each day with lots of climbing. It's on my biking bucket list, but I'll be away this year. So, I need a full report from someone. Distance: More than 200 miles, 15,000 feet of climbing.

In the spirit of getting bodies swim suit ready, Shape.com compiled a list of some hot new workouts to try right now. Read on to see what made their top 10, as well as a few we added ourselves.
1. Boot Camps
High-intensity workouts promise extreme calorie burning (1,000 per hour long class) and an escape from the boredom that may find you when doing the same standard reps in the gym.
Boot camps are offered indoors and outdoors. In the latter, the whole workout is done outside, and you use stuff like park benches and tires to tone your body.
2. Boxing
Get out that aggression with boxing classes! Not for the faint-of-heart, trainers will push your workout to the next level with jump rope, technique training and, of course, punching.
For beginners, the burn may last several days, but you will feel like a stronger, more confident version of yourself.
3. Pole Dancing
Oprah, Ellen, and other celebrities have all talked about the phenomenon that is pole dancing for fitness. Giving you a different workout every day, instructors will help you tone while having a great time.
An internationally recognized sport, pole dancing is a combination of dance, gymnastics and acrobatics. Climbs, spins, and body inversions will build your upper body and core strength.
4. Bikram Yoga
Yogis everywhere unite to turn up the heat on their workouts - to approximately 100 degrees – with what is also known as "hot yoga."
Bikram yoga combines traditional yoga moves with sauna-like temperatures to help your muscles be more flexible and sweat away the calories. The heat helps warm your body, so that you can settle into the stretches.
5. GLEEful Class
GLEEk or not, you'll have a great time dancing along to routines that are taken right from the show GLEE. Music and a fun atmosphere give you an intense cardio workout that you may not have expected.
This is just one type of dance class that is becoming popular. Also in this category are many new hip-hop dance fitness classes, Bollywood dancing and zumba. They look easier than they are, but it doesn't take long to get into the step of things.
6. Surfing Classes
Indoor surfing that is -- you don't have to be near water to get a good workout from the waves anymore. New York Daily News published an article about new gym technology that is popping up all over the country. It's a surfboard on rollers that simulates the feeling of being on water.
If you can't get out on open water but still want to get the body of a surfer, give some indoor surfing classes a try. You will see and feel a difference in your arms and core.
7. Anti-Gravity Yoga
Joining the constantly-growing yoga scene is anti-gravity yoga. In these classes, you'll be doing yoga while hanging upside down from hammocks that are suspended from the ceiling
Instructors will help you learn suspension techniques and introduce new moves once you get used to the hammocks. Anti-gravity yoga will challenge your flexibility and help with your overall posture.
8. Aerobarre
Black Swan and Million Dollar Baby meet with this workout that combines ballet and boxing moves. It may take a few attempts to catch on to this challenging new workout.
Muscle and mind confusion ensue as you combine difficult moves and a fast pace. Challenge your flexibility, sculpt lean muscles, and test your coordination, all at once.
9. CrossFit
CrossFit is a strength training program that mashes up weights and cardio in short intervals to give you an intense workout. These aren't typical weights though; you'll be flipping tires, throwing kettle balls, and carrying other heavy objects.
An hour long class typically consists of a warm up, technique, the "workout of the day," and final stretching. Progress is tracked and ranked to encourage competition. This workout always pushes you to work harder.
10. Aerial Fitness
Also called acrobatic fitness, this class teaches you choreography while using a sheet of fabric suspended from the ceiling by ropes. Like in anti-gravity yoga, you will use your arms and abs to pull you into the moves.
Hula-hoop like rings are also a part of the acrobatic-inspired fitness class, giving you a workout your body has never had before. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, this may not be the class for you

Sebok Pharmacy Lecture to feature top cardiovascular pharmacogenomics expert
Julie A. Johnson, V. Ravi Chandran professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Florida Colleges of Pharmacy and Medicine as well as director of the University of Florida Center for Pharmacogenomics, will be the guest speaker during the Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy's fourth annual Sebok Pharmacy Lecture in ONU's Freed Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, Jan. 18, at 1 p.m.
Johnson's research focuses on cardiovascular pharmacogenomics. She leads a research group in the NIH-supported Pharmacogenomics Research Network, with a project focused on pharmacogenomics of antihypertensive drugs. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual's genetic inheritance (his/her genome) affects the body's response to drugs, and it holds the promise that drugs might one day be tailor-made for individuals and adapted to each person's own genetic makeup. Environment, diet, age, lifestyle and state of health all can influence a person's response to medicines, but understanding an individual's genetic makeup is thought to be the key to creating personalized drugs with greater efficacy and safety.
Johnson is the director of the Personalized Medicine Program at UF&Shands, the University of Florida Academic Health Center. She joined the faculty at the University of Florida in May 1998 and, before that, spent nine years on the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy faculty. She received her B.S. in pharmacy from Ohio State University in 1985 and her Pharm.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 1987. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in cardiovascular pharmacology/ pharmacokinetics at Ohio State University in 1989.
The Sebok Pharmacy Lecture was established by alumni and friends to honor Dr. Albert A. Sebok, a 1953 graduate of the Raabe College of Pharmacy and one of its most distinguished alumni. A Cleveland native, Sebok joined Standard Drug as a store manager after graduation. In 1961, Revco acquired Standard, and Sebok began his rise in store operations, culminating in his appointment in 1971 as senior vice president for store operations of Revco Drug Stores Inc. Under his leadership, Revco became the largest discount drug chain in America, with more than 2,000 stores. He was an original member of ONU's Pharmacy Advisory Board and the founder and instructor of the college's contemporary pharmacy practice class. He received an honorary doctorate degree from Ohio Northern in 1988.

Lyrics to my legacy (screen play unfinished/wont finish)
aftermathofeden's Media
Lyrics to my legacy(by joel larson) We start in on a small rural area in northern Utah in kaysville its lightly raining and the pot hole lined streets begin to fill into massive puddles. Its 2pm in the afternoon and a clock keeps ticking in the background. From this pot hole lined street there sits a small brick building with a big lit up screen that says Hals carpet retail. A ding goes off in the store and a customer walks in (customer): can I use the crapper. A young man of only about 23 sits behind the counter with wrinkled clothes dark shaggy hair about six feet tall with slightly pale complexion and distinguishing bright blue eyes this Conner Altright. (Conner): welcome to Hals palace of carpet where wholesales what we sale. (customer): god boy well can I use the can I didnt ask for your lifes story, can I sun? (Conner): yeah its in the back but be quick were not supposed to. Conner has been working at this Podunk carpet store for nearly three and a half years to many and the thought that carpet burns well has tempted him to set the place a blaze on many occasions. (customer) your going to need a plumber your can is broken. This is Conner Altright he is miserable. Conner goes back behind the counter until the clock strikes 4 pm Conner yawns and starts towards the door closing time at last. Conner wants to slip into a minor coma until the weekend is over. As he approaches the door the door opens and the ding goes off. The owner Hals brother in law Terry enters. Though most people call him by the name of jim bean for unknown reasons well not to unknown the man is 4ft 6 two hundred and seventy eight pounds smells funny 42 with three divorces I guess that sums up better why he is called jim bean. Though Conner liked him jim bean was a good guy just had a forty year stretch of bad luck. (jim bean): hey you want to hear the forehead cast?. His funny way of making fun of the fact he was bald. (jim bean) we have a hair recession moving in from the front with only 10 percent hair coverage and a forty percent chance of rogaine regrowth. (conner) ok funny guy I was just about to close shop. (jim bean): Hey do you want to go to the diner they have this good lookin potato bar set up and if your not sold think about all the fixins, oh man my heart almost stops when I consider all the fixins youve got to go conner. (conner ): nah I was just going to take it easy but thanks you go on without me. They both left the store and waved conner looked back he liked jim bean almost felt bad for him. Conner enjoyed his walks home it on average took twenty minutes. It was still winter and was already starting to get dark as 5 pm was approaching. Conner walked slower than normal in no rush to get home for nothing would be waiting for him. Conner would step over the cracks as he had so many times before one of those child habbits he had never tried to overcome. To many who knew conner he was well respected though thought much as a loner. In school he would never have been acused of being a class clown but the kid in the back that doesnt try to be noticed which worked well for him most of the time. He hadnt made many friends but had been loyal to the ones he had. Conner began to cough stopping on his walk to repeatidly cough. He hadnt told anyone but had been experiencing some health problems of late. Same old Conner didnt want attention or people to feel burdened. When he reached his porch conner looked around at the community. Down the road a bit families were rushing inside to escape the cold. Not conner he took a seat on his porch just trying to hold on to the last few precious moments of daylight before the sun sent this side of the world to rest. Conner just sat there for a half an hour almost in his own world. He had a funny memory. At age 12 a teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he got older and his reply was left alone. If that didnt say more about his personality than any memory he could bring to mind. Conner and three of his friends from high school had started up an alternative band. Henry the singer was all band all the time if there band could have had a mascot or are a manager henry would have filled the slot. On the drums was mike he was talented had been part of the marching band and had attended every school function known to man a self proclaimed pimp. And last and most least to those around him was davis he was overweight and not to bright when he was younger he had a severe speech impediment and kids would pick on him but conner stood up for him and so davis and conner were close. Davis was there bass player he wasnt as talented but had fun playing. As conner sat on the porch staring at the night the phone rang he picked himself up and went into answer. (mike): hey man I am at this crazy party you have to come, and dont give me that bullshit of some other time. (conner) (said soft) no I just want to stay in tonight. (mike) what a wus oh well it would do you some good but I wont pressure you are we still going to practice tomorrow. (conner) yeah just see you guys here. Conner hung up the phone lightly tapping on it with his fingers. He looked around at his empty home it smelled stuffy and clothes and dishes were everywhere. Conner walked to a small hand made night stand he picked up a picture of his mom and dad when they were younger. Conner put his thumb on each face gently then softly placed the picture face down as if not to remember a hurt that the very house he lived in represented. Conner had never known his father he had left when conner was only three the only thing that conner could ever remember of him was him playing the guitar to conners mother. Conner loved his mother she had died when conner was only six she had a fatal blood disease that caused immune problems. Her body couldnt produce the amount of plasma necessary and her blood had to be transfused frequently she had went into shock and conner had found her and ran to a neighbor for help but his mother had died a fact conner never got over. After the funeral conner was sent to live with the cousin of his mother no one knew where the father had gone. There were rumors that he had gone to the funeral but stayed a distance away. Conners father loved his mother so much people said seeing her dying was too much for him to take they had gotten pregnant on accident and he was still not ready to grow up. Conners mothers cousin Avery was nearly 50 and very strict and it didnt help that he did not favor conner. Conner would stay with Avery until age seventeen. Avery had to nearly break down the door to find conner with marijuana and Avery kicked him out. Conner went to live with davis. Davis mom had become a Seri get parent to Conner noticing the boys cries for nurturing. Conner only stayed there for less than a year. It turned out the house he and his mom had lived in was given to her by conners grandfather when he had passed away and that is where conner would end up. Conner would always pace through the house almost trying to imagine the sounds that once would have filled what felt so empty now. Though the band loved the house they couldnt believe how well the place worked out. It was at the end of a small field and a few of the houses nearby were vacant no one ever complained about the practices being to loud. Conner went into his room and sat in a rocking chair the same one his mother would hum him to sleep in. He now stayed in what was his mothers room. Though he did not sleep much but stay up at night thinking. He turned on a small nearby night lamp. And rummaged through his mothers old records one of his favorite pastimes. He put on an old beatles song. And hummed along to his favorite beatles song he could listen to it for hours also it held more meaning than any other for many reasons but it was a song he could remember his father sitting and playing on the guitar. Conner hummed yesterday dun dun dun all my troubles seemed so far away I believe in yest.. . Slowly falling asleep. A loud crashing noises woke conner it was the screen door slamming. Davis walked into the room. (davis) oh man not again you should pick up the records you know the guys will make fun of you for this. The two quickly cleaned up the records. Conner standing half awake and looking very sad said thank you. Mike walks in the room. (mike) davis why dont you make use of yourself and set up your bass guitar I know you dont play it much but at least youll look professional. Davis patted conner on the back and left the room. (mike) dude what the shit why didnt you go last night? I was there with this girl named dena and she had a friend that knew you and wanted you to come. Why you arent out trying to get your mack on I wont ever understand. (conner) (said timidly) guess we cant all be macs like you mike. Conner just shaking his head as he left the room. Conner had learned along time ago not to let mike get to him. Mike even if he went about it the wrong way he just wanted the best for people. All of them went into the music room and got the gear ready. Though henry was all about the band they had only eight songs total and had never played a show or come up with a band name that was cement. (mike) so um ya I was at the diner working an enjoyable shift you know how I do love being a bus boy. When good old jim bean would come up talking about his love for potato bars and there assortment of fixins oh but the best part was the sneeze guard. He says that a sneeze guard is a code name its really so people dont drool over the mighty fine fixins can you believe that guy what a wackjob. Dont know why those marriages didnt work out he was having a damn affair with a snack bar. Henry had just arrived carrying a bag of burritos and a mic stand. (mike) yay we are saved our leader how are we going to get big without you dear henry. (henry) shut your hole stars are the show they dont start until they arrive. Henry and davis start to eat the burritos. Conner picks up his guitar. It is a solidbody spruce top body drednaught with pearl inlays on the frets a fender it was his fathers guitar and priceless the guitar had been signed by paul mccartney. This guitar and a necklace with a guitar pick on it where his family eirlooms the necklace was his mothers. Conner just kept playing a solo riff he had come up with. (mike) listen boys an enchanting melody oh dear if you were to use that against the female resistance you would have them throwing themselves at you. Mike called it the female resistance because he saw it is a battlefield. (davis) it would be his lyrics that would win them over though, just saying. (mike) how sweet would you like him to write you a sonnet dear Jarvis I swear these quotes that come out of your mouth this is why your going to be asexual the rest of your life sometimes I wonder about your. Davis then flipped mike off a usual banter between the two. (henry) hey man I like his lyrics to I dont care what you say mike. (mike) did I stumble in on a queer pep rally or what you boys want to play some music or talk about your feelings. The thing people always said about conner was that if you couldnt find him with his guitar he would have composition book and a pen. One time mike had started to read a passage from this book and stopped realizing that the words in it were not to be read aloud. After a few hours the guys had practiced all the songs and started working towards the new song. Things were winding down and mike looked restless conner twirled his mothers necklace sitting quiet. Mike said that his friend was having a party. (mike) so everyone in dont worry davis I know you would not want to offend your mother, but what about you recluse? (conner) um. (mike)come on you pansy just stay for a little bit then we can go. (conner) ok just awhile though. Davis went home the three headed to the party. Conner started feeling sick and nervous (conner) guys pull it over I want out please. (henry) come on just a little while I think it would do you some good a change of scenery. They arrived at the party when they got to the yard mike saw his friend. They did a quick fist pound and all went inside. (host) drinks are here boys enjoy my guests await. Mike quickly met up with dena henry went for the drinks as usual conner stood there if ever there was a person who was born without the ability to blend in who wanted nothing more than to be a fly on the wall. The music and people around him made his heart pound conner decided to go on the back patio. A drunk girl ran into conner on his way outside she explained how she had loved mike and he had left her for a cheerleader skeaze as she would put it. conner handed her to one of her friends glad to exit the house. Conner saw a rocking swing and sat down and pretended he was not there. It was dark and cold but conner preferred it to the atmosphere in the house. Though the beer in his hand was a bit to cold to drink at the moment. Constant streams of people trying to make out would come out see him there and then they would retreat for another clandestine meeting place. Conner had been out there for awhile and was starting to get up when a girl came outside alone. It was a girl he had gone to school with since middle school though a fact she was probably unaware of. Her name was Alexandra templeton she had jet black hair slender build tan all the time and grey eyes that in this lighting were luminescent. People called her lexi for short though. (lexi) not interrupting anything iv seen like ten people come out and then leave. (conner) no Im just chilling out here. (lexi) id believe it you know it is pretty cold out here. She sat down by him and they just swung for awhile neither saying a word it was almost like they didnt need to. (lexi) so are you always so interesting just kidding I wouldnt be out here if I liked these kind of parties much either. (conner) I hear that I like how calm it is out here you almost need the chaos of inside to appreciate this. (lexi) iv seen you before did we go to school with wait I know I came into buy carpet with my mom I remember you work at hals carpet. (conner) my reputation proceeds me. Hanging his head in shame. (lexi) oh dont be sad wait what do they have you say when you come in the door come on. (conner) welcome to hals palace of carpet where wholesales what we sale, uh. She kept laughing. (lexi) well I need to go check on my friend you saw her on the way out she drinks a lot but if you get missing chaos you should give it a try and come in. they exchanged names and she went in. conner not so smooth would remain on the patio until henry came to get him stating that mike was hammered and belligerent a real gem. On the ride home conner thought about how refreshing talking to lexi was. Most people liked to be around conner because he in ways found himself unimpressive so it was very hard for him to judge the misfortunes of the people around him it made him calm and easy to be around but his mind so fragmented thats where most would say the drop off occurred when he was impenetrable to conversation to guarded a layer upon layer of emotional scar tissue to protect him from anymore hurt. They pulled up to mikes house and sure enough there was mikes crazy girlfriend wondering were he had been they helped mike into the room. Mike saying how am I going to be a mac with an old lady. and Henry got a verbal lashing the girl not knowing that mike had had to drag them along. As henry and conner drove to conners house conner stared out the car window as they passed the streets. (henry) you devil I bet you told that chick about the band already have a hot little groupie my hero. (conner) whats the point love blossoms a fraction faster than it dissolves. Conner would never call himself a pessimist more of a realist logic his tool. (henry) you shouldnt be so hard on yourself you make kick ass lyrics and riffs when things are bleak look for the positive. (conner) bleak good word usage. When they got back to conners house henry put in this metallica documentary the film students had made and conner went into his room to play his guitar. He finger plucks an A chord and sings softly over and over. bleak bending weak at the knees bending us softly. Conner played this softly for an hour he was feeling sick again he went into the bathroom and began to cough clenching his stomache he spit blood and coughed harder. Falling down knocking his shaver and toothbrush to the ground. His hand trembles as he tries to pull himself off the ground. He was showing symptoms of what his mom had had at this very age but he wasnt being treated and the pains were getting more severe he pulled himself to the mirror looked at himself shaking his head all he saw was flaws. A pound on the door. (henry) hey man you ok it doesnt sound good in there. (conner) yeah man just a chest cold outside to long. For conner lying was never hard hurting his friends with the news was much worse a lesser of two evils in his mind. 2-21-07

Columbus will spend up to $80 million to improve the City Hall campus Downtown under a plan to be announced this week.
A 94-year-old building just north of City Hall will be torn down and replaced with a 135,000-square-foot office building that could rise up to eight stories. The building would be under construction by summer 2015 and completed by early 2017.
The city also is negotiating to acquire nearby land that could be used for a 600-vehicle parking garage to serve the new building.
Demolished to make way for the project would be 109 N. Front St., a 94-year-old building that is valued by the Franklin County auditor at just under $4 million. The city bought the four-story, 76,000-square-foot building in 1983 from Columbia Gas for $2.6 million.
Under the plan, three other city buildings would be vacated and sold, including one the city tried to unload in 1983 to help pay for the Columbia Gas building — but which had no bidders.
The city plans to announce this week that about $57 million will be included for the project in the upcoming capital budget, said Paul Rakosky, the Columbus director of finance and management. The city council has been kept in the loop and supports the project, which also will include a small park between the new building and City Hall, officials said.
"It's part of the transformation" of Downtown that includes a renovated Scioto riverfront and improvements to Gay Street, said John Ivanic, spokesman for city council President Andrew J. Ginther. "It's an important part of the overall vision."
The plan makes more sense than spending tens of millions of dollars to upgrade the current buildings and follows a 2006 master plan for the City Hall campus, Rakosky said. "This will really complete the plan."
Consolidating offices would benefit the public by creating a "one-stop shop" for building permits, zoning and utilities issues and other service requests, Rakosky said. It would phase out old, energy-inefficient structures and replace them with a new "green" building.
Officials haven't estimated how much money they'd raise by selling the three other city buildings, but all of it would be put toward the project, Rakosky said. One of the buildings to be sold is the Beacon Building, a six-story, 70,500-square-foot structure built in 1957 just across Front Street from City Hall. The city bought it in 1978 for just over $2 million, Rakosky said.
Five years later, it tried selling it for $2 million, but there were no takers.
The Beacon Building has "narrow funky hallways and ramps," with lots of odd turns and corners, giving some people huge offices and leaving others "with closets," said Dave Bush, the city's deputy finance director in charge of asset management. The county currently values it at $3.4 million.
Two other buildings on the North Side, east of I-71 and north of Oakland Park Avenue, also would be sold. The city bought them in 1998 for $7.2 million and spent more renovating them. The 2006 master plan did not contemplate selling the buildings, which the county currently values together at $4.2 million. However, the expense of upgrading the buildings at 757 Carolyn Ave. would be in the tens of millions of dollars, Rakosky said.
"That's why we're moving that Downtown," he said. "Obviously, it's a much more ideal location here to serve the public."
Whatever remaining money is needed to complete the project would come from future years' capital budgets, Rakosky said.
Columbus architecture firms Schooley Caldwell and DesignGroup are working together under a $5.7 million contract to design the new building, which has to fit in with both the historic City Hall to the south, the contemporary police headquarters to the west and the former police headquarters building between them, Bush said.
The former police headquarters building now houses city offices after undergoing a $23 million renovation in which a glass facade was added to the east side of the 1926 structure, adding more than 20,000 square feet to the almost 100,000-square-foot building.
Pizzuti Solutions will coordinate and oversee the project as an owner's representative under a $1.9 million contract.

PAM stands for Pluggable Authentication Modules, a system for separating authentication mechanisms from the application.
If an application is PAM-enabled, the system administrator is responsible for determining the authentication methods used, and PAM is responsible for performing the authentication. This lets the application developer concentrate on writing the main application -- and ensures that the application isn't made out-of-date solely because of an outdated authentication schema.
This is Part Two of a two-part series on writing PAM-capable applications. In Part One, we provided necessary background information and support mechanisms, and outlined the conversation mechanism which the application must provide to let the module communicate with the user.
This part covers how to call PAM authentication, account management, session management, and token-changing functions. It also covers response codes, setting credentials, and supplying a default configuration for your application.
Unless otherwise stated, the definitions for functions and types described in this article are in
This function initializes PAM and provides the application with a PAM handle, which is used in the rest of the functions to uniquely identify this instance of the application.
The service name parameter is the unique PAM name of the application, used in the PAM configuration files.
The username can be NULL if not known, and the module will call back later, using the conversation function, to request it.
pam_conversation parameter is the pointer to the conversation structure. The
pamh parameter is a pointer which will be filled with the PAM handle.
The function returns
PAM_SUCCESS if it succeeds, and one of several failures codes if it doesn't.
pam_handle_t *pamh=NULL;
extern int pam_start(const char *service_name, const char *user,
const struct pam_conv *pam_conversation,
pam_handle_t **pamh);
Calling this function asks PAM to call the modules' authentication methods. This authenticates the user, using the conversation function to interact with the user. If it succeeds, it returns
PAM_SUCCESS. Failure is indicated with any of a number of flags.
Related Reading
The Linux Web Server CD Bookshelf
Authentication is usually the first of the four module types to be called.
This function is usually called with the flag
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK. If this flag is set and the authentication database has no stored token for the username, the authentication fails.
extern int pam_authenticate(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
The account management function verifies that the user account is valid, and that the user is permitted to start a session at this time. PAM account modules are available to limit accounts by time, number of users, Unix-like "nologin" blocks, and a variety of other methods.
Account is usually called after authentication, and before the session begins.
An account module will return
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD if the authentication token has expired, which allows the application to require the user to create a new authentication token. If you receive this return value, you may wish to call
pam_chauthtok(), then try the account again.
It returns
PAM_SUCCESS if the account is valid, and any of a number of flags to indicate failure.
extern int pam_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
After the user is authenticated and the account is verified as currently usable, many authentication methods require the authenticator to set credentials. Credentials might be group membership in a Unix system, or a Kerberos ticket.
The application should call this function before the session is started.
extern int pam_setcred(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
These functions open and close authenticated sessions. The
close session function can be called from a different application, provided the application has the PAM handle.
extern int pam_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
extern int pam_close_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
pam_chauthtok changes authentication tokens, using the conversation function to interact with the user.
Calling this function with the flag
PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK will instruct it to only change the token if the token has actually expired. I recommend doing this if the call is triggered by the account module returning
This module type is usually called after the session is started, but it can be called immediately following account management, to refresh expired authentication tokens.
extern int pam_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, const int flags);
This function closes the PAM application. Call it when you no longer need the PAM handle, to allow the modules to be called and perform their cleanups -- freeing memory, wiping data structures clean, and disabling tokens.
pam_status parameter indicates whether PAM was successful or not, which helps modules determine what cleanup has to be done. It can be useful to use one variable to receive the return value of all PAM calls, and bracket most PAM calls with
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS). You can then call
pam_end with the return value as the
pam_status argument.
extern int pam_end(pam_handle_t *pamh, int pam_status);
All PAM functions return either
PAM_SUCCESS or one of the following failure codes. It is worth noting that I have had PAM functions return failure codes not listed in the documentation.
The PAM function
pam_strerror() displays the text string associated with each failure code.
extern const char *pam_strerror(pam_handle_t *pamh, int errnum);
Listed failure codes are:
This function is in
<security/pam_misc.h>. Linux-PAM provides a function to securely duplicate strings. A copy of the parameter is returned. If there isn't enough memory to duplicate the string, a NULL is returned.
extern char *x_strdup(const char *s)
In your application's installation script, check for a file with your service name in
/etc/pam.d. If it doesn't exist, create one with an appropriate default PAM-authentication sequence for your program. You can find an acceptable default PAM configuration, with explanations, in
/etc/pam.d/login in the default installation of many Linux systems. Another alternative is:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3
password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5
If a file with your service name exists, you may have a service-name clash with another application, or the file may have been installed by a previous version of your application.
xstrdup in the documentation is
x_strdup in the code (confirmed with Andrew Morgan).
PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD in the documentation seems to be
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD in the code.
This article has touched on the most critical aspects of writing PAM-capable applications. For additional details, please do see the Application Developer's Guide.

Calallen pitching allowed just three Beeville hits with Clay Blackwell picking up two (one double) of those while Marcos Ulloa stroked the other Trojan base hit.
The Wildcats erupted for nine second inning runs to help coast to the win. Two runs in the third and six more in the fourth was plenty to win by the 10-run rule. The Calallen power was on display all night as the Wildcats belted four round-trippers in the contest. Calallen had a total of 17 hits on the evening.
The Trojans play their final game of the season on Friday when they host the Tuloso-Midway Warriors at 7 p.m. at Joe Hunter Field.

On November 7, 2006, San Francisco voters passed Measure F, which provided paid sick leave for workers to be paid when they must take time off to care for their own health and the health of their family. This measure took effect on February 5, 2007. This fact sheet explains the measure and how it applies to employees working in San Francisco.
Does my employer have to provide me with paid sick leave?
Beginning on February 5, 2007, if you work in the city and county of San Francisco you must be provided with paid sick leave. You are eligible for sick leave even if you are a part-time or temporary worker, and regardless of the size of your employer. Even if you live outside of San Francisco or your employer is headquartered outside of San Francisco, you are entitled to paid sick leave if you are actually doing your job within the city limits.
- Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement through their union may not be covered by the law if the union has agreed to waive the requirement;
- Employers that already have a paid time off policy (where you can take paid leave for at least as many hours as the ordinance requires) are not affected by this new law.
How many paid sick days do I get?
You will generally receive one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked. However, when you start a new job, you will not start receiving sick leave until you have been at the job for at least three months.
If you work at an organization with ten or more employees, you can accumulate up to 9 work days (72 hours) of paid sick leave. However, for businesses with fewer than ten employees, the maximum amount of paid sick time is 5 work days (40 hours). You can carry over sick leave from year to year, but the accrual of sick time stops when you reach the maximum of 72 hours (or 40 hours for small businesses). You are not entitled to be paid for unused hours of sick leave when you leave a job.
What can I use my paid sick days for?
Paid sick leave can be used for a wide variety of things related to your health and the health of your family members. You can use sick leave to miss work because of an illness or injury or because of a regular medical appointment for treatment or a checkup. You can also use paid sick leave to aid or care for a parent or legal guardian, sibling, child, spouse or registered domestic partner, or grandparent. Children and parents under this law include step, adopted and foster children and parents.
If you do not have a spouse or registered domestic partner, you can also designate one additional person whose care requires you to use your sick leave. Before you start accruing sick leave, your employer must offer you the opportunity to designate that person as the one that may require your care. Your employer must give you at least ten days to make the choice of who that person is. Once you have designated that person, you can use your sick leave to care for that person just as you could to care for the other family members described above. However, once you choose that person, your employer does not have to let you change to a new person until one year has passed from the date you first designated the person.
Can my boss stop me from taking my paid sick leave?
One important requirement for taking paid sick leave is that you must provide your employer with "reasonable" notice that you are going to take leave. For example, your employer may not be required to give you paid sick leave if you call your manager after your shift starts to say that you will not be coming to work because of a doctor's appointment that was scheduled three months earlier. However, if you or a family member is unexpectedly sick, your employer must allow you to take sick leave as long as you notify the employer reasonably soon after you are aware that you will not be able to come to work.
If you provide reasonable notice, the law specifies that your employer cannot require you to find a replacement for your hours if you have to take sick leave. Your employer can also take "reasonable" measures to verify that your sick leave was valid, but cannot use unreasonable measures. For example, your employer may ask for a doctor's verification of the family member's illness.
Can I be fired or disciplined for taking my paid sick leave?
No. The law specifically says that if you accumulate paid sick leave and take it for a valid reason, your employer cannot punish you for doing so. For example, your employer cannot count your paid sick leave as an absence that leads to you getting disciplined, demoted, suspended, or fired. The law also specifies that you cannot be fired or disciplined for asserting your rights to sick leave under the law.
What should I do if my employer is violating the law?
If your employer is not giving you paid sick leave, you should first notify your employer of your rights under the law. If your employer refuses to comply, you can notify San Francisco's Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. That agency can award you the payments you are owed for the hours you took off for sick leave. It can also ensure that your employer offers sick leave in the future, and can assess a penalty against your employer for violating the law. Finally, if you are fired for taking sick leave, the agency can order that you be given your job back. You can also file a lawsuit in court to enforce your rights.

Diaper Changing Tips
According to the U.S. Department of Education, newborns use about 10 diapers every day, so if you want to keep your little one from the discomfort of diaper rash, you can count on changing a lot of diapers!
However unpleasant it sounds at first, you'll quickly realize that diaper-changing time is the perfect opportunity for you to interact and bond with your baby. Singing songs and playing peek-a-boo are great ways to make changing time a more pleasant and interactive experience. "It is wise to talk mindlessly in a high, happy pitch about anything," jokes Rich Cline, father of two, whose second daughter, Gina, was born in January. "This allows her to believe she is in a happy place when, in fact, you are both in deep [doo-doo]."
But don't let daddy fool you - changing a diaper isn't as bad as it sounds. And once you get the hang of it, you'll realize the right way to do it comes pretty naturally.
First, wash your hands with soap and water, and be sure you have everything you need nearby: a fresh diaper, a baby washcloth or wipes, and any doctor-recommended creams or ointments in case of a rash. Don't leave your baby unattended, even for a moment, as babies move around a lot and can get hurt or fall. If you are using a changing table, remember to use the safety straps. You may also lay your baby on a changing pad on the floor, as long as the surface she is resting on is clean. Pillowcases and towels make great substitutes in a pinch.
To remove the soiled diaper, unfasten the diaper tabs, or pins if she is wearing cloth, and raise her bottom from the diaper by gently grasping her ankles and lifting. Be sure to move the dirty diaper out of your baby's reach.
Next, cleanse the entire area covered by the diaper. If you are changing a newborn, use cotton balls or a washcloth dipped in lukewarm water, as wipes can cause rashes or irritation in babies less than two months old. Be sure to wipe from front to back to prevent infection. When you are finished, pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
But beware of baby's unexpected surprises! "One must always be ready for the delayed drop or spray-a humbling experience that you cannot take personally," Cline says, smiling. "Consider it a compliment as a chef does a burp."
Once your baby is fresh and clean, slide the new diaper under her bottom. Most disposable diapers indicate which side goes in the front. Before closing the diaper, apply creams or ointments as needed for rashes. To secure the diaper, pull the front up over your baby's belly, open each tab and match them to their fastening surfaces on the front portion of the diaper. If you are using pins, keep your hand between the pin and your baby's skin. Also, be careful not to wrap the diaper too tightly, as it can put more pressure on your baby's stomach and cause her to spit up more often.
Finally, dispose of the soiled diaper and any cleaning materials used during the changing. Remember to wash your hands, as well as the changing surface, when you are finished.
"Diaper changing is all about commitment," Cline says. So whether you use a changing table or a towel, wipes or a baby washcloth, cloth or disposable diapers, you and your baby will both be glad you did!

|Started from Road 051 on snowshoes, camped at 9200' on ridge above Armstrong Pass, then headed up ridge and traversed to summit, avoiding the rock towers enroute.
Early morning steep snow was hard enough that I used aluminum crampons and an ice axe, but by 10am it was soft enough to kick steps in most places (where there was still snow)
Fantastic weather - almost windless, no clouds to speak of. Only downside was that Lake Tahoe was socked in by fog.

|Took the Oneidas road to Fountain Place and climbed up the steep trail to the east and the saddle with the TRT. Followed a blue ribbon route to the peak. Then we took the use trail to Job's Sister and then descended the ridge line to Star Lake where we swam. From there we took the TRT back to the saddle and back to the cars. On the way back out the gate was locked and we had to wait to have it opened. The owner of the private land was unhappy with us for tresspassing. See my addition on getting there.

|Great hike with excellent views of Tahoe and the high Sierras to the south. Summited with rgreen and tsteine. The hike was extended from five to 14 miles with the gate being closed - it made for a long day. The head of the gulley steepens quite a bit and although an ice axe and crampons weren't absolutely necessary, I did use mine and it made for a quicker approach. We saved some pride by summiting a bit before Grettel the summit dog. Enjoyed some nice glissades down. Great peak, can't wait to do it again.

|Route Climbed: Trout Creek Date Climbed: 11 April 2004
|Climbed with blmcclain and tsteine for a nice spring Easter trip. It's been warm so snow levels were way up; I had snowshoes and ice axe and didn't use either - the snow we ran into (and there was a bunch) wasn't so deep or icy to need them. The gate was still closed (rumor has it that it's usually closed until May 1), so that added another 4.5 miles of slogging up to the road before the trailhead. Nice views, clear day, and warm (but a bit windy) at the top. CA COHP #18.

|My first 10. Did Freel, Job's and Job's Sister day hike. Excellent hike, terrible headache.

|Route Climbed: Armstrong Pass - TRT Date Climbed: Sep 02
|Took Forest Service road off Hyw 89 up Willow Creek. Several miles in a turn to the left took me to the Armstrong Pass trail. From there it was a simple hike - up over Armstrong Pass to a junction with the Tahoe Rim Trail. Once at the top of the pass on the TRT, I found a use trail heading up and right of steep drop offs. Soon the summit was visable and it was just a scree walk at that point. A quick traverse E / NE from the summit took me over to Jobs Sister. For the fastest decent I just headed S / SW down steep scree from the W saddle between Freel and Jobs Sister until back at Willow Creek road.

|Route Climbed: From the South - off Highway 89 Date Climbed: July 30, 2003
|Did both Freel Peak and Job's Sister on the same day (planned to do Job's Peak as well, but the chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon scarred me off). Had intended to go up via the old trailhead off of Pioneer Trail (in the Tahoe Basin). However, the Forest Service Road that begin at the end of Oneidas Street was closed from 7/30 through 9/15/03. Instead, I drove south on US 50 to CA 89 (heading east) and onto a Forest Service road .8 on a mile from the intersection on highway 89 and highway 88. The book I had said the trail started at the end of the road, but I never found a trailhead. However, the road ends right at the base of the Job's Peak/Job's Sister/Freel Peak formation, so it's relatively easy to make your way to the saddle between peaks. A relatively short but strenous scramble up the loose scree to the saddle, and from there to Job's Sister. A well defined trail descends from Job's Sister to another saddle and up to Freel Peak. Beautiful views of Lake Tahoe and the western Sierra.

Hi Ondrej and collegues,
first, SP is a very comfortable tool and I like it very much
But some times I am nerved by reboot after update.
Why it is not possible (in 2013!!!), to update SP (and other software) without a reboot?
Is it laziness of developers or really impossible?

Which assets are becoming overvalued?
Can bonds and equities withstand the tapering of quantitative easing? How far have real estate and emerging market valuations gone? Where are investors most vulnerable as they search for yield in 2014?
Financial News asks senior executives for their views.
Martin Gilbert, Chief executive, Aberdeen Asset Management
Government bonds, such as UK gilts and US Treasuries, are overvalued given the finances of the two countries. When rates start to go up, it will have a big impact given the low absolute level of yields at present.
Jean-Christophe Gérard, Co-head, HSBC Private Bank Investment Group
"Riskless assets" (Treasuries and cash) are at overvalued levels as a result of risk aversion and central bank intervention. In sharp contrast, almost none of the "riskier assets" seem overvalued. US equity market valuations are at peak levels because earnings are at peak levels as well, with P/E ratios just around historical averages. Also, credit spreads are tight because volatility and default rates are near historical lows. And unless Treasuries correct, low discount factors should support model valuations of riskier assets.
Keith Skeoch, Chief executive, Standard Life Investments
We see government bond markets as the most overvalued asset class, even with yields backing up since their trough last year. Within equity markets, our analysis suggests that some, such as the US, are moving into relatively rich territory, but are not seriously overvalued as long as the economic and corporate backdrop remains supportive. Certain currencies remain overvalued, notably the Australian dollar, and our portfolios are positioned accordingly.
Alan Brown, Senior adviser, Schroders
Developed government bonds on near-zero real yields continue to look very expensive by historic standards and may be the next bubble to burst. Meanwhile, equities that looked cheap in intrinsic terms, and very cheap in relative terms, are now more fairly valued after two years of buoyant returns. Reinvestment risk is growing. It is getting harder to find attractively priced assets.
Laurent Seyer, Global head of distribution, Axa IM
Government bonds have been above long-term fair value for a while as yields have been kept at historic lows by the central bank liquidity injections. Safe haven yields have begun to rise and we expect more to come as the Federal Reserve eventually starts tapering. The transition from a liquidity-induced market towards more earnings-driven market may be bumpy. Emerging markets could suffer in the short term, even though there is potential for long-term growth.
Mike Karpik, Head of Emea, State Street Global Advisors
Markets have built Fed tapering into bond prices, so yields are unlikely to retest lows, but it's difficult to be bullish about the asset class. Even with ECB interest rates at record lows, core Eurozone bonds still don't entice. Cash offers little compensation for investors seeking real return. Our growth outlook and near-zero policy rates still favour riskier assets. Defensive stock valuations look less appealing. As we navigate in relatively higher valuations, there is a risk from events that change perception and trigger negative market reactions.
Campbell Fleming, Chief executive, Threadneedle Investments
Government bonds are the most overvalued asset class because of central banks' quantitative easing. We expect QE to end in the US in 2014 but continue in Japan. This could cause bond yields to drift upwards to more normal levels for the growth and inflation outlook, affecting the valuation of all asset classes as the yield on "risk-free" assets becomes more attractive. Within equities, much good news is priced in, especially in the US, but equities are still preferred to government bonds.
Julian Ide, Chief executive, Old Mutual Global Investors
Core government bonds – US, UK, Germany and Japan – are trading at levels not seen, broadly speaking, since the 18th century. No one expects this to last and 2014 increasingly seems the year in which yields will snap back. The Federal Reserve would like to reduce QE gradually, but the risk is that markets will go straight to the end-game. A rise in interest rates will not kill the recovery, but it is likely to cause delays.
Tim Ryan, Regional chief executive, AllianceBernstein
Since the crisis, money has flown out of equities to the perceived safer haven of government bonds in Europe and the US, leaving these bonds looking overvalued – with some arguing they now offer "return-free risks". Investors nowadays need to think differently about which assets are risky and which are stabilising. Furthermore, we need to be aware of the dangerous crowding in some asset classes and, as such, plan for scenarios in which liquidity might dry up.
Clem Chambers, Chief executive, ADVFN
Bonds are, by QE definition, overvalued. If this were a free market, bonds would be much lower. At some point the dam of QE will burst and bonds will revert. Cracks in the dam may start appearing in 2014.
Pascal Blanqué, Chief investment officer, Amundi
The most overvalued assets are government bonds in major advanced economies. Some credit segments are also becoming expensive by historical standards. The global deleveraging process in the major advanced economies is exerting deflationary pressure and central banks are trapped in non-conventional policies, with no quick normalisation likely. While the rise in bond yields remains gradual and corresponds to stronger growth, the "search for yield" theme may prevail, ultimately benefiting risk assets and leading to a gradual rotation from spread products to equities.
Lance Uggla, Chief executive, Markit
High-yield debt in North America and Europe could be considered overvalued. Issuance in CCC debt has soared and yields have plummeted. QE has suppressed yields in investment-grade debt, "forcing" investors to go down the ratings scale in search of yield. Bulls would point towards robust corporate balance sheets and low default rates to support current valuations. But when QE begins to taper – as is expected – the prospect of less liquidity could trigger a sell-off in high-yield debt.
Ferdi van Heerden, Chief executive, Momentum Global Investment Management
The search for yield during this prolonged period of very low interest rates is leading to distortions in asset pricing, where income is the dominant component of return. This is particularly notable in fixed-income markets where, in absolute terms, yields on corporate and high-yield (junk) bonds are at historically low levels. Demand for such paper has been running at record levels and investors are potentially ignoring the risks. This has the potential to create the next serious dislocation in markets.
Stuart Fiertz, President and co-founder, Cheyne Capital
QE has led to an unseemly stretch for yield in the unsecured below investment-grade corporate bond market. This has led to a sharp decline in underwriting standards and a deep contraction in absolute yield. Moreover, the indiscriminate buying of high-yield ETFs leaves this market particularly vulnerable to a change in sentiment as the junk market is not nearly as deep as the strong issuance volumes in Europe and the US suggest. Look for floating-rate leveraged loans and secured debt to outperform.
Jonathan Little, Partner, Northill Capital
Corporate bonds. It would be tempting to say equities because it's hard to see much upside from here but bonds worry me more. Spreads and implied default rates are very low and, at this stage of the interest rate cycle, I just can't see that investors are being remotely rewarded for the risks they are taking.
Saker Nusseibeh, Head of investment and chief executive, Hermes Fund Managers
I am not sure if this would impact within the next 12 months – markets are notorious for overshooting before correcting to normality – but the one thing that is clear is that interest rates are likely to rise from these super low levels, which will have a negative impact on bonds and credit instruments.
Marisa Drew, Co-head Emea investment banking and global co-head global market solutions, Credit Suisse Securities (Europe)
I am concerned about the debt markets and their reaction to the Fed tapering. When mid-to-low single B credits can get 10-year funding in the 6's it feels like there is nowhere to go from here but wider. We are advising all of our issuers to get into the markets if they need funding and take advantage of the historically attractive coupons before rates creep up.
Lionel Aeschlimann, Managing partner and head of asset management, Mirabaud
Fixed income: rates are still low and despite the tapering hiccups of the summer, investors in plain vanilla long-dated government bonds are due to get mediocre returns and face a challenging environment when yields go up again. Investors are still heavily invested in classic fixed-income instruments and need to prepare for the "bond turn". Long-term Swiss fixed-income indices, among others, will finish 2013 in negative territory and this will be a wake-up call for many investors.
Naïm Abou-Jaoudé, Chief executive, Dexia Asset Management
Fixed income will remain penalised by gradually increasing interest rates so, in this context, equities will continue to be the preferred asset as its relative value remains attractive for investors – a trend which we expect to be continued and even reinforced in 2014.
David Blumer, Head of Emea, BlackRock
Most assets are no longer bargains in valuation terms. Fixed income has long been expensive versus its own history, but many equity markets are catching up. Within fixed income, the greatest risks appear to be in medium-term duration bonds, and we tend to favour credit sectors across the world in our search for yield. For equities, it is complicated. Most investors believe European equities currently are better value than US stocks, and the verdict is split on Japan.
Michael Reuther, Board member responsible for investment banking and treasury, Commerzbank
Asset classes such as safe-haven sovereign bonds, REITS or commodities were already overvalued in early 2013. Equities are also expensive by historic standards. Continued benign consumer price inflation and central bank liquidity provision will fuel asset price inflation, driving more risky asset classes such as high-yield corporate bonds or equities. For 2014, equity valuation multiples will increase further, including continued rotation from bonds to equities, a pickup of M&A and buyback activity. However, the risk of larger corrections is obviously increasing.
Pascal Duval, Chief executive Emea, Russell Investments
US equities look pricey, Japan and Europe have slightly better value and emerging market equities are the value play. US Treasuries are not as expensive as a year ago but still offer poor medium-term value. Credit offers little more than coupon clipping. The implication is that investors more than ever need multi-asset diversification and active top-down portfolio management. They need to focus on squeezing every basis point out of their portfolios. The year 2014 will not be a set-and-forget year.
David Mercer, Chief executive, LMAX Exchange
It's hard to know the right price of any asset with the amount of worldwide quantitative easing that has occurred. US QE alone is estimated at $85 billion a month and that is a big parachute for dollar-denominated assets. The equity market could see the biggest downturn with tapering that has to take place in 2014 – Janet Yellen intimated as much in her Senate Panel. Surely we can't keep seeing all-time highs but, then again, that's why I'm in foreign exchange!
Michael John Lytle, Chief development officer, Source
Two potentially overvalued asset classes are European credit and US equity. Both are priced for a world in better shape than we are today. However, we are unlikely to see a crash. A correction in US (and European) equities seems inevitable as it is unlikely that markets will trade sideways for long enough to allow company performance to catch up with valuations.
Willie Watt, Chief executive, Martin Currie Investment Management
Over the past year, developed market equities have rotated from quality growth into value – driven partly by southern Europe where optimism reigns: the scope for disappointment here is high. In emerging market equities, the quality-growth trade has persisted, driving valuations in reliable areas such as consumer staples and healthcare to stratospheric levels. In aggregate the asset class trades at attractive valuations masking bifurcation, with resources/ basics/energy on all-time-low multiples. While investible, the balance of emerging markets exposures should be considered carefully.
George Anson, Managing director, HarbourVest Partners
China private equity is clearly overbought, and has several painful years of adjustment in front of it.
Carl Hess, Global director, Towers Watson Investment
Any high interest rate currency, thank the Federal Reserve for this.
Paul Simpson, Head of global transaction services, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
The current environment accommodates very little overvaluing. Company stocks in major growth areas, notably emerging technology and social media, continue to receive valuations that make little sense on pure fundamentals. The large unknown is how these assets will be leveraged globally, especially when considering the need to comply with regulations that scrutinise cross-border information security. It is hard to envisage where or how some of these companies will generate positive net income to maintain and enhance their value.
Hendrik du Toit, Chief executive officer, Investec Asset Management
These days there is a "bubble" in the prediction of "bubbles". At risk of joining the bubble brigade, I would point to Bitcoin followed by developed market bonds, which will remain expensive while governments continue with the current regime of financial repression. The price of farmland has also risen too fast to be related to fundamentals.
Mark Pumfrey, Head of Emea, Liquidnet
Commodities in general, and there will continue to be limited upside in investing in bonds following a difficult year for this asset class in 2013. Risk assets such as equities will continue to move up as long as inflation remains benign, which seems likely to remain the case in major economies across the world in 2014.

Satisfy your appetite for a great-tasting veggie burger that's easy to make and more healthfully prepared when you use your own wholesome ingredients. Find our favorite recipes here.
Light and Tasty Veggie Burgers
Veggie burgers can be made with chickpeas, black beans, white beans, potatoes, lentils, and pretty much any other vegetable that can be mashed and formed into a patty. And made right, they're delicious—but fragile. Even with binders like breadcrumbs, oats, egg whites, or farina, veggie burger patties tend to be delicate things that don't fare well on the grill. Unless you're using whole portobello mushrooms as the "patties," you're likely to have more success cooking your veggie burgers on the stovetop or under the broiler, then flipping them very carefully when the time comes. Commercial patties tend to be more robust, of course, but we're talking about homemade versions here. Click through the slides to find recipes for our all-time favorite veggie burgers.

EQ For Each Channel
Fader Start & Back Cue Play
Auto BPM Counter - Only From Pioneer
Let the digital readout confirm what you already know by ear. The Beats-Per-Minute Counter measures the BPM of virtually all kinds of dance music, enabling you to check the tempo at a glance. Linking widely differing types of music is easier than ever with the Auto BPM Counter.
Auto BPM & Effects
A single repeat of 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 beat music can be overlaid over a track. For example, with 1/2 Beat Delay, four beats will be increased to eight, while using the 3/4 Beat Delay produces a "leap sound" effect.
Repeatedly overlaying beats of 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 is simple. Cutting in 1/1 beat Echo can create an intriguing fade to the beat; applying it to the mike causes microphone output to be reproduced repeatedly to the same beat.
The left-right balance can be changed automatically to the rhythm as rapidly as you like. Auto Pan can do rhythmic switches too quick for human operators.
Switching to the Flanger effect produces synthesizer tones quickly and easily.
The Pitch Shifter corrects for changes in pitch within a range of +/- 1 octave when using analog turntables or other vendors' CD players. Used with the mic, the Pitch Shifter can alter voices.
A variety of reverberation effects are available.
Your samplers and peripherals are easily connected to the DJM-500.

Beat Indicator
The indicator lamps tell you when the beat you want is linked to the Auto BPM.
A Great Match For The CDJ Series
Fader Start Play
Connecting the DJM-500 to the CDJ Series allows you to take advantage of Fader Start Play; by increasing the Fader on the mixer, the player will automatically override the Pause control and start the music immediately. Fader Start Play also works during Cross Fading, an industry first that brings out the best in sampler-style music.
Fader Back Cue Play
When the DJM-500 is used with the CDJ Series (excluding CDJ-50OG and CDJ-500), the Fader or Cross Fader controls can also return you automatically to a designated cue point if desired. By fading Cross Fader back and forth or Fader up and down quickly, you can give the "essence" of scratching a certain point on a vinyl record.

January 31, 2014 —
Paul Novak has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife, Catherine, on December 13, 2008. The sentence was handed down on January 31.
Judge Frank LaBuda also denied a motion to have the verdict thrown out. Novak's attorney Gary Greenwald had argued that his client should receive a fair trial based on a technicality, because one of the doors in the court had been locked, or an officer of the court prevented people from entering the courtroom, during a portion of the proceedings, but LaBuda rejected that argument.
At the trial in September 2013, the star witness was Novak's girlfriend at the time of the murder, Michelle LaFrance, and she provided damming testimony about Novak's actions and his intent to kill his wife. Novak received $800,000 in proceeds from insurance policies, as well as custody of the couple's two children.
Click here [2] for the previous story.
Release from the District Attorney
District Attorney Jim Farrell announced today that Paul Novak, 47, of Lewiston, F.L., was sentenced in Sullivan County Court to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the 2008 murder of his wife Catherine Novak.
Novak was convicted after an eight week jury trial by a jury on September 27, 2013, of: Murder in the 1st Degree, two counts of Murder in the 2nd Degree, Burglary in the 2nd Degree, Arson in the 3rd Degree, Grand Larceny in the 2nd Degree and two counts of Insurance Fraud in the 2nd Degree, all felonies.
Farrell called Novak's actions in killing his wife "deliberate, cruel, premeditated, methodical and planned". Farrell described how Novak planned the killing and then executed his plan by creeping into Catherine's home in the dead of night and murdering her and then burning her home to the ground in recommending that Judge Frank LaBuda sentence Novak to the maximum sentence allowed by law: life in prison without the possibility of parole and a consecutive aggregate term of 20 to 60 years in prison for the arson, larceny and insurance fraud convictions.
The court followed the District Attorney's recommendation and also ordered Novak to pay over $780,000.00 in restitution to State Farm Insurance, AIG insurance and New York Life Insurance for the monies he illegally obtained after her murder.
Farrell described Catherine Novak as a "community leader, prior school board member at Sullivan West, Girl Scout leader, church leader, loving sister, daughter and mother."
Farrell praised the work on the New York State Police who investigated this case and finally obtained justice for Catherine Novak, "The New York State Police worked very hard in this case to determine exactly what happened to Catherine Novak and their hard work has resulted in the truth about Catherine's death being revealed, after 4 long years, and the deliberate and premeditated plan that her husband, Paul Novak, executed on the early morning of December 13, 2008.
I want to thank the State Police for all of their fine work in achieving justice for Catherine Novak and ensuring that Paul Novak was held responsible for his crimes. I also want to thank the Sullivan County Bureau of Fire, who also played an important role in the investigation and Steve Lungen, the prior Sullivan County District Attorney, for coming out of retirement and assisting in this prosecution as special counsel – his help, tireless effort and work, advice and counsel were invaluable in this successful prosecution."

What would you say if one were to find a relevant thread that was quite old? Is it really better to necro-post in that old thread instead of creating a fresh one where you can better express your own specific opinion?
I totally understand your point on topics that have very recent threads though. That is basic forum etiquette and anyone that's been around the innernets for a while should know that.
