Also possibly worth noting, when I run a LAN device discovery tool, such as netdiscover, I am only able to find the router itself (192.168.0.1).

Hi, I recently installed Backtrack 5 R3 on my Toshiba NB255 laptop.
I can connect to my wireless network with wicd, but theres no internet access. Ping fails to connect and firefox can't connect to any servers either. After doing iwconfig and ifconfig, I can't see anything out of the ordinary, no dropped or erroneous packets according to ifconfig.
When I connect through ethernet to my router, wicd stalls at the ip assignment step.
I've tried starting networking throughandCode:start networking, but I can't get it to work.Code:/etc/init.d/networking start
I'm getting good signal, so that isn't it.
Again, I successfully connect to the network, just no internet. Any ideas?
Also possibly worth noting, when I run a LAN device discovery tool, such as netdiscover, I am only able to find the router itself (192.168.0.1).
Any help would be appreciated!
Would you please post the ifconfig and iwconfig output?Are you using HDD install, VM, USB?..The wifi device chipset and type of authentication used (wpa-wpa2, wep, open)?
I have a HDD install, alongside Ubuntu and Windows.
I'm in a WEP encrypted network, and I have the encryption settings correctly configured
Code:Iwconfig wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:[[key]] Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: [[Mac]] Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:[[key]] Power Management:on Link Quality=51/70 Signal level=-59 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:8 Missed beacon:0Code:Ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1553 (1.5 KB) TX bytes:1553 (1.5 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr [[mac]] inet addr:192.168.0.104 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: [[address]] Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:268 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:49888 (49.8 KB) TX bytes:1312 (1.3 KB)
I'm not sure what lo could be to be honest, so I posted it anyway!
Please, try to do this: Boot up with LiveCD, and try to connect to router..See if it works...
you also might make sure wicd is set to wlan0 and eth0 in pref's as default i think is wlan1 and eth1
if you were just trying to get wicd to scan
When booting from live disk, I started networking with "start networking" and then opened wicd. When I opened it I got an error saying "Could not connect to wicd's D-bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages." After I clicked okay, everything opened normally.
I connected again successfully to the network but still no internet.
Association, authentication and DHCP all seem to be working. This suggests the problem is in route and/or dns. There are many tutorials on how to troubleshoot this eg http://www.tecmint.com/linux-network...ting-commands/
Make sure you have internet service active or check your router configuration as suggested by VulpiArgenti, I certaily belive the issue is not with BT5...
By the way, have you tried using ethernet port (Wired)?...
I have tried other networks and I am getting the same issues surprisingly! I tried ethernet on my home network but it stalls at "getting ip"

The man accused of carrying out last week's deadly Boston Marathon bombings has told a court he cannot afford legal representation.
The one-word answer to a question about his financial means was the only time during the brief hearing of the United States District Court in Massachusetts, convened at his hospital bedside, that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spoke.
He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
The release of the transcript of the first court hearing for Tsarnaev, before Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler, reveals the United States opposed bail – even in Tsarnaev's bedridden state – for fear he would intimidate witnesses if released.
Magistrate Judge Bowler noted that Tsarnaev was ''alert, mentally competent and lucid'' and ''aware of the nature of the proceedings''.
Tsarnaev, 19, was not required to enter a defence to the charges at the hearing and had the right to remain silent.
He twice nodded when Magistrate Judge Bowler asked if he understood what she had asked about his rights, and said ''no'' when asked if he could afford a lawyer.
The transcript's release comes as reports emerge that Tsarnaev confirmed to investigators that he acted alone.
Quoting an unnamed US government source, CNN reported that Tsarnaev said no international terrorist groups were behind the bombings.
According to the source, Dzhokar told investigators his older brother Tamerlan – shot dead during a gun battle with police on Friday before Dzhokar was arrested – was the ''driving force'' in the bombing.
CNN's source said the Tsarnaev brothers appeared to meet the criteria to be classified as ''self-radicalised jihadists''. Further, Tamerlan wanted to defend Islam from attack.
But the source warned, according to CNN, that the interview was preliminary, and the account given by Dzhokar needed substantiation.
William Weinreb, from the United States attorney's office, told the bedside hearing that bail was opposed because the offences carried a maximum penalty of death or life in jail, the offences were crimes of violence and that Tsarnaev would be a risk of flight.
The court provisionally appointed the office of the federal public defender to represent Tsarnaev. Acting for him was William Fick, who told the court he had ''very briefly'' had the opportunity to speak to his client.
Tsarnaev's next court appearance is expected to be May 30.

When Scott Rappe, AIA, met with the family for this weekend home, one member had a simple request: "I want you to design it, not draw it." The family member happened to be John Holabird Jr., FAIA, grandson of the founder of Holabird & Root and a former principal of the prestigious Chicago firm. Holabird knows a thing or two about design, of course, so his directive was succinct but clear. "He had no parameters," says Rappe, a principal of Chicago-based Kuklinski+Rappe Architects. "It was wide open. It's an opportunity that doesn't come along every day."
The opportunity for Rappe arose out of misfortune—a Thanksgiving Day fire burned the 1970s-era vacation home Holabird built 30 years prior. And Holabird had no interest in going through the design and construction process again. "He didn't want any part of building the house, so someone recommended me," Rappe recalls.
Rappe says Holabird and his two daughters were inclined to spend as little as possible to rebuild the house, though no specific conversation expressly stated it. "I don't think we talked about a [price per square foot], but it was implied," he explains. "People usually don't want to spend a lot of money on a weekend home."
But Rappe had extensive structural issues to address before he could even think about construction costs. Because he was reusing the existing foundation, he had to make modifications to accept the additional living space the clients wanted. He succeeded in underpinning the former crawl spaces and excavated them further to create a new on-grade, one-level suite for Holabird and his wife.
The family wanted a house each member could use without disturbing the others, so in addition to the ground-floor suite, Rappe designed two additional second-floor suites flanking a double-height common space. The interiors offer a contemporary take on the traditional weekend home, with stylish but budget-conscious touches, such as open shelving, laminate countertops, natural-finish MDF cabinetry, and bamboo flooring.
Rappe used the house's rustic southwest Michigan location to guide his exterior material choices. "I wanted to express the rusticity, and I wanted it to look different from a primary residence," he says. And again, the budget was a concern. Straightforward elements such as industrial railings and cargo netting, standing-seam metal, and Cor-Ten steel did the trick.
Rappe completed the project for about $155 per square foot without significant corner-cutting. "It's pretty typical for us," he says. "We always work out ways to get more value for our clients."

Wow! Kim & Kanye sold Baby North West's photos for...
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Zip. Zilch. Nada. Nothing!
In fact, it looks as though Kanye has gotten his way and they are not selling the photos to any weekly or tabloid. So if you were hoping for an over-the-top photoshoot glimpse at little Yeezy, keep dreaming!
TMZ reports that the couple has already passed on several impressive offers, including one as high as $3 million for the first photos of North West.
Sources told the website that Kimye thought about selling photos of little Nori and then donating the money to charity the way other stars (Brangelina!) have done, but they decided against it.
However, Kanye has always got a plan. And Kim is notorious for her media maven skills. If we were taking bets we'd put our money on Kimye waiting a while and doing a huge spread in a fancy art or fashion magazine, probably international. Though Kimmy has done an incredible job of staying out of the spotlight since she gave birth two months ago, it's simply not her style to stay away from the cameras for long. After all, it's been her bread and butter for the past 10 years. And given all the the stunts and fake out photos of North West we've seen in recent weeks, we can't help but think Kimye has some sort of Earth-shattering debut in the works to introduce their little princess to the world. Yeezy won't let Blue Ivy out-stunt his baby girl!

Detailed Description:
- Aim 1: We will test our primary hypothesis that combining niacin extended release (niacin-ER), at a daily dosage of up to 2.0 g with pioglitazone, at a daily dosage of 45 mg will result in a 12% greater increase in HDL-C when compared to niacin-ER monotherapy over 12 weeks in non-diabetic patients with the metabolic syndrome (see Table 1).
- Aim 2: In this secondary aim, we will test our hypothesis that the combination of niacin-ER and pioglitazone will significantly increase insulin sensitivity, when compared to niacin-ER alone, as measured by the frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIGTT).
- Aim 3: In this additional secondary aim, we will test our hypothesis that the combination of pioglitazone and niacin-ER will reduce markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor type II (sTNF--R2), and resistin, and raise adiponectin when compared to niacin-ER alone.
- Aim 4: In this exploratory aim, we will measure a broad spectrum of emerging cardiovascular risk factors in order to derive a richer sense of the effects of combination pioglitazone and niacin-ER in these individuals. We will collect adipose tissue level expression (mRNA & protein) relating to cholesterol transport (PPAR-, PPAR-, and PPAR-, ABCA1, ABCG1, and SR-B1), triglyceride transport/lipolysis (HM74a, HSL), adipocytokines (TNF-a, IL-6, adiponectin, leptin, acylation-stimulating protein), and glucose regulation (glut-4 and IRS-1). [assuming sufficient mRNA yield]. These findings will serve as hypothesis-generating data for future studies..

Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Measures from FSIGTT, other lipid measures, inflammatory markers, mRNA of genes related to lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis, inflammation and metabolic syndrome
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2005
This is a two-arm, parallel, double-blind randomized prospective clinical trial. The subjects will be asked to provide informed consent, and then undergo screening for enrollment criteria at the first visit (-5 weeks). The subjects who are eligible, and provide informed consent will return for Visit 2 baseline data (-4 weeks), and then begin the unblinded niacin-ER titration. Specifically, subjects will receive a starting dose of niacin-ER of 500 mg per day, which will be increased in 500 mg increments every week up to a dose of 2000 mg per day. Subjects will need to tolerate at least 1500 mg per day of niacin-ER in order to remain in the study and be randomized. Thus subjects who are unable to tolerate the 2000 mg daily dose of niacin-ER will be taken back to 1500 mg per day for one week and then randomized. Subjects who develop prohibitive side effects at doses less than 1500 mg per day will be discontinued from the study. All subjects who are able to take the target dose of niacin-ER will continue that dose of niacin-ER and come to the GCRC to be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to either niacin-ER plus pioglitazone or niacin-ER plus matching placebo for 12 weeks. Pioglitazone will be started at 30 mg and then increased to 45 mg at week 6. This entry design is designed to minimize the differences in mean dose of niacin-ER and dropout rate between study groups.

Flooding can happen anytime, anywhere. Louisiana ranks first in the
nation for the number of repetitive loss-structures and East Baton
Rouge Parish ranks fifth in the State for the number of repetitive
loss and severe repetitive loss properties. Nearly all of the
flooding occurs from backwater flooding of creeks and rivers, as
well as riverine flooding. Flood waters can be slow or fast-rising
but generally develop during a period of days. Taking precautions
now, such as engaging in floodplain management activities,
constructing barriers and purchasing flood insurance will help
reduce the amount of structural damage to your home and property
should a flood occur. ALWAYS know what flood zone you live and how
prone your area is to flooding.

The likelihood that you and your animals will survive an emergency such as a fire or flood, tornado or terrorist attack depends largely on emergency planning done today. Whether you decide to stay put in an emergency or evacuate to a safer location, you will need to make plans in advance for your pets. Keep in mind that what's best for you is typically what's best for your animals.
If you must evacuate, take your pets with you if possible. However, if you are going to a public shelter, it is important to understand that animals may not be allowed inside. Plan in advance for shelter alternatives that will work for both you and your pets.
Create an Emergency Go Kit for your pet, including:
- ID collar and rabies tag.
- Current photo (in case they get lost).
- Carrier and leash.
- Medications.
- Newspapers and plastic trash bags.
- Veterinary records.
At least a three-day supply of food and water.
For more information on emergency planning for pets, visit the Humane Society web site.

Awesome mount!
By Action Plus Home a Inspections
from Tulsa, OK
This is the best mobile phone holder I've ever used. Stick it almost anywhere. I've always had problems getting other models to stick/hold to the dashboard. This one sticks and is not bulky and does not block my driving visibility! I highly recommend this for hands free driving and makes using my Google Maps for driving directions with my Smart Phone easy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I like this car mount!
By guy
from north carolina
It makes my smart phone's GPS app even handier. A similar mount from my wireless provider was very inconvenient to use and was intentionally designed NOT to allow hands-free talk on the phone while mounted. I returned it and got this one.

CLAREMONT - Golden State Water Co. has rejected Claremont's formal offer to purchase the assets in the city for more than $54 million.
The city had sent an offer on Nov. 6 to Golden State proposing to purchase its Claremont assets for $54,067,000.
But Golden State responded Nov. 26 with a rejection letter from George M. Soneff, an attorney from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP.
"As Golden State Water has previously advised the City, its assets, which are utilized to provide water service to the public, are not for sale," said the letter. "Nor is Golden State Water interested in selling its water rights in the Claremont area."
Golden State Water has been the focus of anger in Claremont after it originally submitted an application to the state Public Utilities Commission asking an increase of more than 24 percent in 2013 and additional increases in 2014 and 2015.
A negotiated settlement over the increases resulted in Claremont's 11,000 customers and ratepayers receiving a 15.1 percent rate increase in 2013, 2 percent more in 2014 and 1.8 percent in 2015.
As a result of such increases, the City Council has voted to begin efforts to purchase the firm's assets in the city. Some consideration of obtaining those assets by eminent domain have also been discussed by the city.
Soneff's letter said the more than $54 million offer "is but a fraction of the fair market value of Golden State Water's assets."
Claremont's offer also fails to meet the requirements of the Government Code, said Soneff. He noted "that no appraisal has been conducted as to the fair market value of Golden State Water's water rights, despite the fact that the materials accompanying your letter suggest the City may attempt to seize those rights through eminent domain."
Soneff said that even if the "legal defects" in the letter are repaired, the takeover effort by the city will result in "costly litigation" including paying for the Golden State's attorneys fees and other litigation costs if it loses in court.
If assets are obtained by the city through eminent domain proceedings, the letter continues, residents "would be saddled with decades of payments to satisfy the debt the City would incur for the payment of current market value for Golden State Water's system and water rights, in addition to the considerable legal and consulting expenses incurred by the City in a protracted condemnation action."
The letter ends with Soneff writing that "we hope City leaders will realize that collaboration would be far more productive than spending the City's time and taxpayer dollars to pursue a risky and costly takeover plan." It suggests officials should meet with City representatives to discuss ways to work together.
A statement from the city Friday in response to the letter, in part, says the city's offer was made in "strict compliance" with state of California laws governing property acquisition and reflected the opinion of a qualified appraiser who established fair market value.
Additionally, the city is "continuing to move forward" in evaluating options to acquire the water utility and "the city will be accepted the publicly-traded water company offer to meet."
Lastly, the Claremont officials are "unable to comment further" because it is the subject of "confidential, closed sessions discussions regarding property acquisition, as prescribed by State law."

Bay Village: Police are investigating possible child enticements
(Bay Village) Police are investigating reports of possible child enticements in Bay Village. According to an email sent to parents, an 11-year-old girl was walking to Bay Middle School on Tuesday and reported being approached by a man in a white SUV. The man, described as white with gray hair asked "what's your favorite lollipop?" "mine is grape" the email stated.
That incident occured at around 7:30am at Douglas Drive and Lake Road. A similar incident happened on Monday to an 11-year-old boy on Dover Center Road near Heinen's. The four-door sedan that approached the boy had tinted windows so he was unable to see the suspect. The man asked the boy if he wanted a ride.
Police are still investigating an incident that happened to a 3rd grader on his way to Westerly School on September 25th. The suspect was described by the boy as a middle aged white man who was driving a dirty, older white van. He pulled into a driveway on Wolf Road between Walmar and Bradley and asked the boy if he wanted a ride to school.
Bay Village Police Lt. Mark Spaetzel released the following statement:
"In the last week, the bay village police department has received three suspicious incident calls involving adult males in vehicles contacting children. There has been no physical contact in any of these instances but have involved unsolicited questions from the adult males to the children. There has been no consistency between the vehicle descriptions or subject descriptions in the three reported instances. Whether these have been ill-advised innocent comments or attempts at solicitation is unclear. However, we encourage parents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior. "

As you, the faithful reader, already know, the Multnomah University sign had the letters "LOVE" stolen out of it.
"LOVE" Is Back
Campus Services got the sign repaired just in time for graduation last week - so now the "love" is back in MU.
Love Is Also Expensive
Have you ever heard the song "Can't Buy Me Love" by Paul McCartney? Well, apparently, sometimes you can "buy me love" - for about $486.00. That's how much it cost to replace four letters on that sign - wow! I feel like we should take up a "love offering" for this (would that mean that felony theft is now tax deductible? I digress).
After following up with security and checking with my "student informants", we are still no closer to solving the "Caper of Lost Love"...however, rumors are floating that it was one of 2 possibilities:
A senior prank?
A metal thief who was very disappointed to find out the letters are actually vinyl?
We'll likely never know.

Project Galatea
- by W Mufunde

- Published: 13 Jan 2014
- Updated: 24 Apr 2014
- Status: In Progress
Centuries ago, the faery courts engineered 12 weapons with the aid of their pixie cousins. These weapons would help them survive the modern age of man and they have now been honed and tested. The weapons are ready for use, but they are proving to be more rebellious than the two founding kings had ever anticipated. But a little rebellion is always expected from teenagers. In a world where a secret anti-faery organisation known as the Paladins exist, Terri, Ariel and Zib must fight for their right to live and love freely and avoid being used as tools by either Fey or Paladin. Terri, "the ordinary girl", Ariel, "the Prince", and Zib "the rogue" must detangle the secrecy and lies surrounding Project Galatea if they are to save themselves or risk being nothing more than being a failed experiment.

We know parrots can talk, but do they give names to their children?
I'm Lucie McNeil and this is National Geographic On Assignment--- your link to thousands of our Nat Geo Explorers around the globe.
Today, we're off to the wilds of Venezuela.
National Geographic's Karl Berg and his team spent months recording the sounds of green-rumped parrotlets.
The team was able to identify slight variations in the calls that parent birds used to communicate with different offspring.
The baby birds appear to recognize and learn the individual calls used specifically for them.
If the fledglings were learning their contact calls directly from their parents, then this would be the first example of a non-human species teaching acoustical communication.

Wittenberg Physicist Dan Fleisch Named Ohio Professor Of The Year
November 19, 2010
Filed in Campus Headlines, Research
Springfield, Ohio - Best-selling author Dan Fleisch, Wittenberg associate professor of physics, is known for doing anything necessary to help his students succeed. Two years ago, however, Fleisch took his commitment a step further – a huge step further, traveling nearly 700 miles on Christmas Day to ensure that Michel Cuhaci of Ottawa, Canada, had the right copy of Fleisch's book for his nephew under the tree. Now the book-delivering professor who made headlines nationwide for his holiday trek is making more news, having just been named the 2010 Ohio Professor of the Year.
Sponsored by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the U.S. Professor of the Year program is the only national program to recognize excellence in undergraduate education.
Since the program's founding in 1981, Wittenberg has led the state among four-year institutions in the number of professors receiving the coveted distinction. Fleisch's award brings the official count to six and again shines the spotlight on Wittenberg's superb teaching inside the classroom and well beyond its walls.
"I'm a person for whom the life of the mind is such a driving force," Fleisch said. "Helping others have those 'wow' moments is most rewarding."
Nominated by faculty colleagues and university administrators, Fleisch has consistently sought out innovative and creative ways to connect with students. From podcasts to a one-of-a-kind course on the Roots of 21st Century Science based in the United Kingdom, Fleisch has ignited the imaginations of his students, and inspired countless alumni and friends with his passion for lifelong learning.
"I get to work with fantastic students at Wittenberg, and I want them to be engaged with the world around them," Fleisch said.
An expert in electromagnetics and space physics, Fleisch continues to inspire students around the country and the world as author of the international bestseller A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations, published by Cambridge University Press in 2008 and already in its eighth printing. This book is now being translated into Japanese, Korean and Chinese, and Fleisch has already been contracted to write A Student's Guide to Vectors and Tensors, slated for publication in 2011.
The co-author of Electromagnetics with Applications with the late John Kraus of The Ohio State University, Fleisch has also published technical articles in a variety of engineering and physics journals, and he has presented more than a dozen professional papers at conferences in the United States and the United Kingdom.
In 2004, Wittenberg awarded Fleisch its top faculty prize, the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Teaching. Two years earlier, Fleisch won the Omicron Delta Kappa award for Excellence in Teaching, and he was named the Outstanding Faculty Member during the Wittenberg Greek Scholarship Awards in 2000. Additionally, Fleisch was recognized for Faculty Excellence and Innovation in 2003 and 2005 by the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE).
Yet, it's not the recognition that motivates Fleisch, but rather the intellectual engagement with students and love of teaching. Each semester, for example, he invites students from each of his classes to his home for "Quality Circle" dinners during which he asks students to help him find ways to make the class the best possible learning experience for them. Add to this his willingness to go above and beyond day or night, including renting time at a nearby ice hockey rink to help a student with an interest in the sport understand physics better, and it becomes clear why Fleisch is now the 2010 Ohio Professor of the Year.

In recognition of 50 years of service to Mount Saint Mary
College, the Villa Library was recently named in honor of English
professor James Finn Cotter, of Newburgh, NY.
Cotter's friends, colleagues and family – including his
siblings, his children, and his grandson, Dante – attended the
dedication ceremony.
"James Finn Cotter has been described as a 21st century
Renaissance man, here at the Mount and in the wider academe
circles," explained Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, president of Mount
Saint Mary College. "Jim simply has a passion for lifelong
learning, and his passion makes for great leadership."
Cotter is the author of "Inscape: The Christology and Poetry of
Gerald Manley Hopkins," "Beginnings: The First Twenty-Five Years of
Mount Saint Mary College," and "A New Life: Learning the Way of
Omega." As a scholar, he has penned articles on Hopkins, Dante,
Geoffrey Chaucer, Sir Philip Sidney, and J.D. Salinger. As poet and
literary critic, he's been published in America, Commonweal, The
Hudson Review, The Nation, The New York Times, Sparrow, Spirit,
Thought, Times Herald-Record, and other periodicals.
A celebrated translator of Dante's "Commedia," Cotter is a
seasoned theater and arts reviewer, a recipient of a Fulbright-Hays
lecture grant to teach English in Algeria, a recipient of a
National Endowment of the Humanities grant, and president of the
International Hopkins Association for 30 years.
During the 50 years that Mount Saint Mary College has celebrated
commencement, only two people have led commencement procession:
Cotter and professor emeritus James McEnery of Cornwall, NY. He
first led the procession and was master of ceremonies from 1964,
when Mount graduated its first class of 32 students, through
Cotter also wrote the Mount's alma mater in 1964.
In his five decades at the Mount, he has inspired scores of
students and fellow professors.
"It was said – and will be said – that you are an accomplished
scholar," said Sr. Catherine Walsh, OP, professor of communications
and chair of arts and letters. "But I will also say that you're an
exceptional teacher."
Stephanie Weaver, a senior English major from Rockville Centre,
NY, wrote of Cotter: "You have focused not only on literature and
theory, but also on the intellectual development of your
The longtime professor gave a humble smile to the standing-room
only crowd at the library dedication.
"It's a great honor," said Cotter.
He pointed out that the year he began his tenure at the Mount,
1963, was also when author C.S. Lewis passed away.
"I'm a great fan of C.S. Lewis and his book, 'Surprised by Joy.'
Certainly I'm surprised by joy today."
He then proceeded to give a brief lesson from his book, "A New
Life: Learning the Way of Omega."
Housed in what used to be the Mount's first building, the
wood-paneled, Victorian-era James Finn Cotter Library has long been
an educational hub for some of the best and brightest presentations
the college has known. In addition to the Mount's own academics,
the library has served as a lecture site for scholars like Nancy
Marie Brown, author of "The Abacus and the Cross: The Story of the
Pope Who Brought the Light of Science to the Dark Ages," New York
Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield, who discussed the
spiritually of our 16th president in "Lincoln's Battle with God,"
and Sr. Diane Kennedy, OP, the vice president for Mission and
Ministry of Dominican University in Illinois, who recently
congratulated many of the Mount's Ralph and Aquinas Scholars.
In February at the James Finn Cotter Library, 1970 Mount grad
Sr. Jo-Ann Iannotti, OP will discuss literature and spirituality.
Her poetry has appeared in national and international magazines.
The event is free and open to the public.

Obama on Foley: We Will 'See That Justice Is Done'
(NEWSER) – The "entire world is appalled" by Jim Foley's execution at the hands of the Islamic State, President Obama said today in a seething statement in which he vowed to "do what is necessary to see that justice is done."
He took square aim at the terror group, saying that "No just God would stand for what they did yesterday," and that it "has no place in the 21st century" and "has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt."

CSF cell count
A CSF cell count is a test to measure the number of red and white blood cells that are in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is a clear fluid that circulates in the space surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
How the Test is Performed
A sample of CSF is needed. A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is the most common way to collect this sample. For information on this procedure, see the article on lumbar puncture.
Other methods for collecting CSF are rarely used, by may be recommended in some cases. They include:
- Cisternal puncture
- Ventricular puncture
- Removal of CSF from a tube that is already in the CSF, such as a shunt or ventricular drain.
After the sample is taken, it is sent to a laboratory for evaluation.
How to Prepare for the Test
See: Lumbar puncture
How the Test Will Feel
See: Lumbar puncture
Why the Test is Performed
The CSF cell count may help diagnose meningitis and infection of the brain or spinal cord, a tumor, abscess, or area of tissue death (infarct), and it helps identify inflammation. The cell count may also help identify bleeding in the spinal fluid.
Normal Results
The normal white blood cell count is between 0 and 5. The normal red blood cell count is 0.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An increase of white blood cells indicates infection, inflammation, or bleeding into the cerebrospinal fluid. Some causes include:
- Abscess
- Encephalitis
- Hemorrhage
- Meningitis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Other infections
- Stroke
- Tumor
Finding red blood cells in the CSF may be a sign of bleeding. However, red blood cells in the CSF may also be due to the spinal tap needle hitting a blood vessel while entering the skin or dura.
It is important to see if the red blood cell count returns to normal in samples taken later in the procedure as opposed to earlier. A ratio of the red blood cells to the white blood cells is also calculated to help with diagnosis.
Additional conditions which this test may help diagnose include:
- Arteriovenous malformation (cerebral)
- Cerebral aneurysm
- Delirium
- Dementia
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Hemorrhagic stroke
- Neurosyphilis
- Primary lymphoma of the brain
- Seizure disorders, including epilepsy
- Spinal tumor
- Stroke secondary to syphilis
- Syphilitic aseptic meningitis
- Syphilitic myelopathy
Risks of lumbar puncture include:
- Allergic reaction to the anesthetic
- Discomfort during the test
- Headache after the test
- Bleeding into the spinal canal
- Infection
Brain herniation may occur if performed on a person with a mass in the brain such as a tumor or abscess. This can result in brain damage or death. For this reason, a lumbar puncture is not done if other tests show signs of a tumor or abscess.
There may be temporary leg discomfort if a nerve root is irritated by the needle. This passes when the needle is withdrawn.

After an exposure to sharps or body fluids
Being exposed to sharps (needles) or body fluids means that another person's blood or other body fluid touches your body. Exposure may occur:
- After a needle stick or sharps injury
- If any blood or other body fluid touches your skin, eyes, or mouth
Exposure can put you at risk for infection.
What to Do
After you have been exposed, wash the area with soap and water.
Report the exposure right away to your supervisor or the person in charge. Never decide on your own whether you need more care.
Your workplace will have a policy about what steps you should take after being exposed. Often, there is one nurse or another health care provider who is the expert on what to do.
- You may need lab tests, medicines, vaccines, or immunizations.
- Sometimes you will quickly need medicines or vaccinations. Do not delay telling somebody after you have been exposed.
You will need to report:
- How the needle stick or fluid exposure occurred
- What type of needle or instrument you were exposed to
- What fluid you were exposed to (such as blood, stool, saliva, or other body fluid)
- How long the fluid was on your body
- How much fluid there was
- Whether there was blood from the patient visible on the needle or instrument
- Whether any blood or fluid was injected into you
- Whether the fluid touched an open area on your skin
- Where on your body the exposure was (such as skin, mucous membrane, eyes, mouth, or somewhere else)
- Whether the patient has hepatitis, HIV, or MRSA
Risk of Illness
After exposure, there is a risk you may become infected with different germs. These may include:
- Hepatitis B or C virus (cause a liver infection)
- HIV, the virus that causes AIDS
- Bacteria such as staph

Stupid Boston radio shows are going beserk over Ells for Lee...
Back to an earlier post. No Capps please - he's brutally bad.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
No, no, keep going.....

MARKHAM, ON, Canada -- Universal Space, an amusement machine manufacturer, reports that it is backing up its steady release of new products with an expanded online presence, including popular social media services.
The company observed that the importance of social media in communicating with the "connected" industry has never been greater, and modern amusement corporations must establish dedicated programs in order to share the latest information.
Unis has responded by creating a media center -- media.unisgames.com -- which offers one-stop access to the leading social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube, and also to stories about Unis in the national press, press releases about new products and internal developments, testimonials and links to the company's online storage for collateral materials, including press and marketing images.
Working in tandem with its representatives, Unis is attempting to maximize the availability of information on its new product releases, other developments and coverage of its support for international trade events. Its dedicated LinkedIn company page, which hosts key discussion groups for the business, is a successful example of this effort, the company said. The augmented media presence is supported by Unis's updated Web presence, centered at universal-space.com.

Just throughout the season, the wear and tear on it, the loss of strength, it took away from a lot of the things I was able to do. It kind of feels like I'm giving you an excuse for my season, and I don't think there is an excuse," he said. "I think I can be a lot better player, though."'

Subchorionic Hemorrhage and Myoma
My first pregnancy was an awful experience due to a subchorionic hemorrhage and myoma.
I just want to know, is there any chance that these two would recur if I decide to have my second pregnancy?
How would it affect my pregnancy and health if I plan to conceive at the age of 34 or 35? I'm going 30 this year.
I definitely would not want to experience it again.

So women do tend to be more prone to myoma and other gynecological issues than others. Did you have fibroids before becoming pregnant?
I do know, that complications from subchorionic hemorrhage and myoma become more common as a woman ages. Clinically speaking, many medical professionals consider the age of 35 to be the early end of "advanced maternal age" because this is around the time when a number of complications before more risky and complicated.

No fibroids. But I experience dysmenorrhea everytime I have my monthly period.
If this is the case, I would have to change plans then. Maybe conceive earlier than 35 years old.

Hello Ryden's Mum,
I would highly recommend that you consider having your second child sooner rather than later, for many reasons.
As Mom2Many mentioned, it becomes much harder to conceive as you approach your mid 30's.
You may find that having both of your children close together makes life a little easier on you. I had my first 2 children 19 months apart and they grew up being best friends. They always had a play mate and often... very often, played together. This helped to free up my time and my children were happy because they always had someone to play with.
If you plan to only have 2 children, then you would also realize that your parenting years will be over at about the same time.... which, again, frees up your time. It's easier to have 2 in nappies for a shorter span of time then one in nappies for 3 years, and then another in nappies for another 3 years.
And when they're both close in age, the activities you do with one can easily be enjoyed by the other - whereas, if you have children 6 years apart, the activities you want to do with your 6 year old may not be interesting to your 12 year old, and the activities you want to do with your 12 year old may not be appropriate for your 6 year old.
Being a stay at home mum will allow you to focus on raising your little ones at the same time, and if you consider homeschooling (I hope you will consider this) you can teach both children at about the same grade level very easily (even if they're a couple of years apart).
I feel strongly that it's worth the extra effort of caring for two little ones at one time - the benefits are huge and you'll have more energy now than if you wait a few years.
As for the subchorionic hemorrhage and myoma, rates of miscarriage increase with advancing maternal age and increasing size of hematoma. Just because you had this the first time, doesn't mean you will have it again. HOWEVER, we do know that the older you get the higher your chances of having something like this again.
PMS can be an indication of fibroids, and there are things you can do to naturally reduce or eliminate the fibroids. If you haven't had an ultrasound lately, and you don't plan to have one, then I would encourage you to adjust your diet so that the hormonal imbalance that is causing the PMS is reduced.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
Wow, you made me realize the pros are greater than the cons here. And I am now convinced that maybe, I'll have to conceive next year. Or maybe, the next two years when Ryden turns 3. I'll be 32 by then. I'm still a little scared of the pregnancy, labour, & delivery process since I had an awful experience. I know I can't get away with this.
Yes, I should consider homeschooling my daughter. But I still need a lot to learn about this one. And I exactly know where to ask help from. Here! Is there a thread where I can learn the basics of homeschooling? Like, do I really need a lesson plan? How many hours should I spend for homeschool?
My PMS is really connected to my diet, I agree. So I would really have to eat healthy and avoid food causing my hormonal imbalance.
Thanks a lot Kate.

In making diet changes, I would start with focusing on eating more foods in the micronutrient category instead of foods in the macronutrient category. Micronutrients are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. Everything else falls into the macronutrient category.
Be sure to make a green smoothie or green juice at least once a day to begin with, and work up to more micronutrients and less macronutrients from there.
Also, there is good documentation of people who have been able t shrink their fibroids naturally using good diet, exercise and herbs. Red Clover is an herb which has been helpful in shrinking fibroids but always do your research and if possible work with a holistic practioner that can give you high quality herbs at exactly the dosage you need.
Warm Regards,

text: Nicholas Hoult has been cast in the movie Equals for a long time. The movies is based on 1984 by George Orwell. The project has a lot of hype but I don't think it is going to be that great. I think studio executives start getting enamored with things that sound good on paper but rarely turn out that great when filmed. Kristen Stewart jumped at the chance to star opposite Nicholas but it took a long time for her to get the part. She is the one who did the chasing for the part. Despite her interviews stating she was reluctant or scared she was desperate to get the role. She has been so desperate to get the role that Jennifer Lawrence told a couple of her friends that she would love if Nicholas would drop out of the role because she doesn't trust Kristen and is not particularly fond of her either. There is some bad blood and if Jennifer could have said no to anyone to be cast opposite her boyfriend it is Kristen Stewart.

Theater review by Adam Feldman. Music Box Theatre (Broadway). Book by Roger O. Hirson. Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Dir. Diane Paulus. With Matthew James Thomas, Patina Miller, Rachel Bay Jones. 2hrs 30mins. One intermission.
[Note: Kyle Dean Massey, Ciara Renée and Annie Potts, respectively, are now playing the roles originated by Matthew James Thomas, Patina Miller and Andrea Martin.]
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up to the greatest show of the Broadway season: Diane Paulus's sensational cirque-noir revival of Pippin. Here, in all its grand and dubious glory, is musical-theater showmanship at its best, a thrilling evening of art and craftiness spiked with ambivalence about the nature of enthrallment. Chet Walker's dances, which retain the pelvic thrust of Bob Fosse's original choreography, are a viciously precise mockery of showbiz bump and grind, enacted by a sexy, sinister, improbably limber ensemble (in skintight carnival gear and medieval costumery). Circus elements created by Gypsy Snider—acrobatics, aerialism, contortionism, juggling, hula hoops—build momentum toward what the ringmaster assures us is "a climax you will remember for the rest of your lives." That just might be true.
Beneath the production's over-the-big-top trappings is Roger O. Hirson and Stephen Schwartz's 1972 musical, a slight but resonant parable stuffed with delightful songs. A pretty youth named Pippin (the creamy-skinned Matthew James Thomas, appealingly ingenuous) embarks on a journey to find meaning in his life, guided by the predatory Leading Player (a ferocious Patina Miller, with two rows of teeth agleam and hips that snap like switchblades). First he seeks fulfillment in battle, like his kingly father (a droll Terrence Mann); then he samples pleasures of the flesh, urged on by his grandmother Berthe (comic marvel Andrea Martin, in a knockout scene that earns a midshow standing ovation). But Pippin's picaresque stalls in Act II, when he meets a widow, Catherine (the superb Rachel Bay Jones, in a lovable and expertly layered turn). Somehow sunny and cloudy at once, Jones grounds Pippin in a reality beyond the Leading Player's groovy hard sell, and the show's messages—about the perils of personal exceptionalism and the lures of empty celebrity—come through with force in the end. Yet for all its skepticism about entertainment, Pippin offers it par excellence. Number after number stops the show, but the show goes insistently, dazzlingly on.—Adam Feldman

My wife and I go to NY once a year and binge on broadway and off broadway (6 shows in 5 days). This is one of the best shows that we have ever seen. Patina Miller has left the cast, but she was incredible. I can watch Ben Vereen play the part on YouTube, and while I would love to go back and in time and see him, I don't think I missed anything with my Lead Player.
The other actress that I am still thinking about is Rachel Bay Jones. She breaks your heart. Such a beautiful voice.
The Cirque du Soleil comparisons are fair, but it's all held up by an A+ Broadway musical.
A truly wonderful mix of theater and Cirque du Soleil acrobatics make for a fresh enjoyable evening of Broadway. The singing and dancing are all A+ but I found the acting from Patina Miller as the:Leading Player and Terrance Mann as King Charlemagne stilted and unbelievable. On the other hand, precious moments of Mathew James Thomas' Pippin were quite moving. Act one came on like a lion and seemed to be satisfying by the end. But wait, there's more. The 2nd act was a little slow and overall seemed to be an awful lot of story for the simple message they conveyed. Even if you overpay for your ticket it's worth it to see Andrea Martin bring down the house and a company of great theater crafties of potential TONY winners!
Love this show. Love the cast. seen it 8 times already was at opening night and agree with review. Get ready for a Tony win. See this show.

Seitzer surprises in SL's Derby
Rays prospect had two homers this season, hits two in finals
By Guy Curtright / Special to MiLB.com | July 17, 2013 7:36 PM ET
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After winning the Southern League All-Star Home Run Derby, Cameron Seitzer headed to the indoor batting cage to work on regaining his normal line-drive stroke.
The Southern League boasts a variety of Derby winners over the years, but none as unlikely as the slender Montgomery first baseman.
Seitzer, who had just two home runs for the Biscuits coming in to the competition, was understandably surprised when asked to participate. But the Rays prospect decided to embrace the unlikely opportunity and did just that in a big way Wednesday night in Bragan Field at the Ball Grounds of Jacksonville.
The left-handed hitter went deep for the second time on his fifth swing in the final round to beat out 240-pound Birmingham slugger Dan Black.
"I was coming to have fun, and if I hit any home runs, it would be a bonus," said Seitzer, who tied Black with two homers in the first round. "Once I got that first one out of here, I was pumped."
The only other home run event for the 6-foot-5 Seitzer came in the Instructional League after his first season.
"I put up a big goose egg," said the 11th-round pick in the 2011 Draft.
The former University of Oklahoma standout did much better this time. After Black hit just one out in the final round, Seitzer went deep on his first swing and then won it on his fifth.
Black, who leads the Southern League with 57 RBIs and has 10 homers, had been Seitzer's choice to win the six-player competition.
"He's a big man and got a lot of thump in his bat," said Seitzer, who didn't smack his second homer of the season until July 6. "Every time we play [Birmingham], he hits big home runs."
Seitzer usually doesn't, concentrating on driving balls to the gaps like his father, Kevin, who was a .295 hitter during a 14-year Major League career.
The younger Seitzer is batting .278 with 21 doubles and 40 RBIs in 95 games, his on-base percentage of .380 higher than his slugging mark of .363. There were 93 players in the Southern League with more homers than the 23-year-old at the All-Star break.
After hitting 11 homers in 64 games with Rookie-level Princeton of the Appalachian League in 2011, Seitzer hit just four in 118 games with Class A Bowling Green last season. But he did bat .307 with 36 doubles in the Midwest League.
"I normally hit line drives, not homers," said Seitzer, who received an engraved watch for winning the Home Run Derby. "But this was fun."
So was the All-Star Game. Seitzer was 2-for-5 and drove in a run in the South's 6-0 victory.
In brief
Missing stars: The promotion of Jackson RHP Taijuan Walker (No. 5) to Triple-A and the withdrawal of Mobile RHP Archie Bradley (No. 21) after pitching in the All-Star Futures Game left the All-Star Game with three players ranked among MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects. Jacksonville CF Jake Marisnick stands at No. 56 with Chattanooga RHP Zach Lee at No. 36 and Lookouts CF Joc Pederson at No. 69. The highest-ranked Southern League prospects are Jacksonville OF Christian Yelich (No. 5) and Tennessee SS Javier Baez (No. 13). Yelich recently came off the DL and Baez didn't join the Smokies until recently.
Back for more: Mississippi C Christian Bethancourt, ranked as Atlanta's No. 2 prospect, was the only position player back from the 2012 All-Star Game. The 21-year-old native of Panama started for the South after being a backup last season. He had a hit in two at-bats. Bethancourt was also named to the All-Star Futures Game for the second straight year and played in both games despite being hit on the left wrist by a four tip last Thursday. Back on the North team was RHP Alberto Cabrera of Tennessee, who struck out one in a perfect third inning.
Stepping stone: This year's All-Stars can look to last season's event for encouragement. Thirteen players from a year ago have already made the Major Leagues. LHP Tyler Skaggs, who started for the South while with Mobile, is now part of the Arizona rotation. He received credit for the victory last year despite allowing a first-inning home run as the South defeated the North, 6-2, at Tennessee. Also playing a key part in the victory was Pensacola SS Didi Gregorius, a D-backs regular after a winter trade with Cincinnati.
Home cooking: The host Jacksonville Suns boasted nine players in the All-Star Game, including four replacement pitchers, and the South squad included manager Andy Barkett and his coach staff. First-half North champion Birmingham paced the North team with seven players, the same number as South winner Mobile. Barkett managed the South in 2011 at Jackson in his first year as Jacksonville manager. It was also the second time as manager for the North's Jim Pankovitz, who beat Barkett's team, 6-3, in 2011 during his first year as Jackson manager.
