Ubuntu-Med FAQ
Ubuntu-Med is a project to incorporate several servers useful to medical practitioners into a single customized (K)Ubuntu-based operating system.
Note: There are currently two formats for Ubuntu-Med downloads: a Filesystem Archive (.fsa/.f01, both parts needed) and a LiveCD image (.iso). See the bottom of the page for more information.
The Filesystem Archive or LiveCD can be installed or used as a demo (after some additional personalized customization). To go directly to the Sourceforge page click here.
Note: Any device (including software) used for diagnosis or treatment requires FDA approval in the US (or CE approval in Europe) as a medical device. Therefore, nothing in Ubuntu-Med can be used for any purpose other than for administrative and evaluation purposes in those areas. No warranty of any sort or representation of suitability for purpose is expressed or implied with the distribution of this software.
What is included in Ubuntu-Med ?
- Astronaut OpenVistA Electronic Health Record -- this is a server/client combination that can be used over a network or can be used as a self-contained EHR system
- DAViCal -- this is a group calendar server that can be used over a network, either with the (included) Mozilla Sunbird calendar or with other calendar clients
- MediaWiki -- two wikis are pre-installed. A public wiki is used for information that should be made public, and a secure private wiki is used for internal information. (A complete copy of Kubuntuguide is included with the private wiki.)
- Drupal6 -- two sample websites have been pre-configured. One can be used for public use (for example), and the other for internal use. (This is the same website software the US White House uses.) An online store (Ubercart) capability and PayPal (among other) payment integration modules allow fee-for-service payments through the website.
- Moodle -- this is the same online teaching system used by many universities. It allows you to create teaching modules for patients, other medical practitioners, etc.
- BigBlueButton -- this teleconferencing server is Java based and is accessed (using a webcam and microphone) through a standard web browser, so users do not need to install special software to use it. It has been pre-integrated into both the Moodle and Drupal6 website components in Ubuntu-Med. This is useful for telemedicine or merely as an alternative to Skype for teleconferencing/dektop sharing. It has the capabilities of WebEx, GoToMeeting, and other similar teleconferencing suites, but since the entire system is self-contained on the server (and not located elsewhere), it is HIPAA compliant.
Any or all of these servers can be installed separately on an Ubuntu/Kubuntu system (either server or desktop). See Kubuntuguide or Ubuntuguide for information on installing server components individually.
Is Ubuntu-Med available for other versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu ?
Ubuntu-Med uses Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 32-bit (for its .FSA version) because the BigBlueButton teleconferencing server used components from that version of Ubuntu/Kubuntu.
Ubuntu-Med can also be installed using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu:
What are the hardware requirements?
The Ubuntu-Med distribution requires about 6-7 Gb hard drive space to install, but will also need room for data as you use it. It is probably best if at least a 30 Gb partition is dedicated to it.
Ubuntu is not a memory hog, but if several servers are in use simultaneously, it is good to have at least 1 -2 Gb RAM installed.
It is important in the early stages of planning to consider storage failsafes (both RAID and storage replication mechanisms (such as dual NAS servers)). Achieving both high availability and high reliability is important for an eventual production installation
The biggest problem with servers is often the bandwidth that is available from an Internet Service Provider. Many consumer ISPs are not adequate for multiple servers, especially those (such as Comcast) that "throttle" or limit bandwidth usage. If you plan to use Ubuntu-Med in a production environment, pay attention to your network setup and capabilities. Consult Ubuntu Doctors Guild for more advice, if needed.
Can I add or subtract other software?
Of course. Ubuntu-Med is a standard Kubuntu (i.e. Ubuntu with a KDE-based desktop) installation (for which some components and parameters have already been configured). It runs in every other way like a standard Kubuntu installation and relies on standard Ubuntu/Kubuntu repositories (and source code). Add any other software you choose according to the instructions in Kubuntuguide.
Additions to the upcoming version of Ubuntu-Med
- Kubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise.
- A web-based image jukebox (PACS server) for web retrieval of images (to be associated with the EHR and website). Software under evaluation includes dcm4chee (using these instructions) and packages from this list. For some explanation of choices, see this article.
- One (or more) of several imaging viewers:
- Aeskulap DICOM image viewer
sudo apt-get install aeskulap
- Amide DICOM image viewer
sudo apt-get install amide
- Oviyam web-based DICOM image viewer
- Practice management software (including VistA-Edge)
- Customized accounting software using KMyMoney2
- Single sign-on modules, OpenVPN
- Knockd port security module.
- WebDAV server (Kubuntu has native WebDAV client abilities).
- The new BigBlueButton teleconferencing package
- One or more of the following Debian-med packages have been evaluated and are available, but are not likely to be included:
- med-imaging -- primarily Aeskulap and Amide. Unfortunately, a large number of other useless programs are installed with this package, so I do not recommend installing the entire package.
- med-tasks
- med-config -- used by med-tasks
- med-epi -- not widely useful in its current state
- med-pharmacy -- no suitable packages
- med-physics -- no packages specific to medicine
- med-practice -- primarily Aeskulap and GnuMed
- med-tools -- mostly trivial tools that are not widely useful
- med-typesetting -- not generally needed
- cl-pubmed (included in med-tools) -- not generally useful since PubMed has browser-based portals
- gnumed-client (included in med-practice). GnuMed is based in Germany.
- medcon -- Xmedcon medical image conversion tool for specialized uses only
Of course, these can be installed at any time (for evaluation) on an Ubuntu-Med system. However, the majority of the Debian-Med programs are not useful, are disorganized, and/or are incomplete. (I therefore do not recommend installing them at this time.) To evaluate:
sudo apt-get install tasksel med-tasks cl-pubmed gnumed-client medcon sudo tasksel
The tasksel will then show the Debian-Med modules and the user can select which ones to install.
Note: Any device (including software) used for diagnosis or treatment requires FDA approval in the US (or CE approval in Europe) as a medical device. Therefore, nothing in Ubuntu-Med can be used for any purpose other than for administrative and evaluation purposes in those areas.
Alternative to LiveCD installation
The Filesystem Archive and the LiveCD were created using the steps outlined in the Ultimate Server with OpenVistA EHR walkthrough almost exactly, and some of the steps that were done when creating the Filesystem Archive/LiveCD (such as a few database names used during installation) cannot easily be changed by the end user. Therefore, for a fully secure and customized installation, it is sometimes better to install a system by walking through the installation outline yourself, replacing every ID, database name, and password specified in italics (in the walkthrough) with a secure ID, name, or password. In this fashion a highly secure server can be achieved. A typical installation "from scratch" (following the walkthrough step by step) usually takes about 6 hours to complete.
Of course, prior to installing a production environment it is always worthwhile to install a test/demo version first. The Ubuntu-Med LiveCD (or Filesystem Archive) can serve as such a demo/test version. (Be sure to change IDs and passwords as instructed below, even when using it as a demo/test system.)
Lastly, if you choose, a fully customized version can be created for you and mailed on a CD or installed directly on your computer. See this offer.
Installation of the Ubuntu-Med Demo
Ubuntu-Med is currently available in two Beta formats:
- a Filesystem Archive in two parts (.fsa and .f01)
- a LiveCD .iso image
Both have been created with an installation that follows the walkthrough almost exactly.
The Filesystem Archive can be restored to any partition and run with only minor adjustments (matching of the partition's UUID with settings in the Grub bootloader and fstab configuration files, for example). This is an assured method of installation.
At this time the installation scripts for the LiveCD are being re-worked. Completion is anticipated within the next several weeks.
See the relevant detailed instructions below for each installation method.
Create Free Space on the hard drive
Free space on the hard drive is needed. You can dedicate a new hard drive (such as a second hard drive) or can shrink an existing partition (such as a Windows partition) on an existing drive in order to create the free space. In reality, installing a secondary drive is the easier option. (Instructions for installing a second hard drive to your system must be found elsewhere.) When two hard drives exist on a system, the first is usually named (hda) or (sda) and the second is generally named (hdb) or (sdb).
If you wish to shrink a Windows partition on an existing hard drive and and then create multiple partitions on it, please consult these excellent recommendations.
Restoring from the Filesystem Archive
- The Filesystem Archive files are available for download at the Ubuntu-Med project at Sourceforge. You must download both. Copy them onto a DVD (or USB flash drive).
- The Filesystem Archive (.fsa) was created using the FSArchiver utility found on the SystemRescueCD LiveCD. Currently you will need this LiveCD in order to restore the filesystem archive.
- Boot the SystemRescueCD using option 2 (SystemRescueCD: all files cached to memory (docache)). This option is necessary so that the SystemRescueCD can later be removed and the DVD containing the Filesystem Archive then be placed into the CD/DVD drive. Enter the GUI desktop with the command:
and choose your preferred display mode. The desktop GUI will start and a command-line terminal will automatically be opened (as the root user).
- Create a new partition for Ubuntu-Med in the free space available using the GParted utility on the SystemRescueCD. From the command-line (in the open terminal) start GParted:
Look for unallocated space (preferably 15 Gb at a minimum for a demo system) in which to create two new partitions: a new ext3 partition for Ubuntu-Med and a 2 Gb Linux-swap partition. (If you already have a Linux-swap partition on your system, you do not need a second one.)
- Create the swap partition (if one doesn't already exist):
- Gparted -> Highlight unallocated -> Partition -> New -> File system: linux-swap -> New size (Mb): 2048 -> Create as: Logical partition (can be Primary partition, if you choose) -> Add -> Edit -> Apply all operations -> Apply
- Create an ext3 partition for Ubuntu-Med:
- Gparted -> Highlight unallocated -> Partition -> New -> File system: ext3 -> New size (Mb): (as much as you can spare) -> Create as: Logical partition (can be Primary partition, if you choose) -> Add -> Edit -> Apply all operations -> Apply
Make a note of the device number of the swap partition (e.g. dev/sda5) and of the newly created partition (e.g. /dev/sda6) then quit GParted:
- -> Close -> GParted -> Quit
- Remove the SystemRescueCD CD from the drive and place the DVD with the Ubuntu-Med Filesystem Archive(s) on it (jauntysrv00ov.fsa and jauntysrv00ov.f01) into the CD/DVD drive. Mount the CD/DVD drive (designated in my system as /dev/cdrom or /dev/sr0):
mkdir /mnt/dvdfiles mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvdfiles
- Restore the Filesystem Archive to the newly created partition (which in this example is /dev/sda6) using the command:
fsarchiver restfs /mnt/dvdfiles/jauntysrv00ov.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda6
Both segments will be restored from the DVD automatically, and the filesystem will be recreated in its entirety.
- Find out and record the UUID (unique identifier) of both the swap partition and the newly restored Ubuntu-Med partition using the command:
Note: After restoration, the UUID for the Ubuntu-Med partition will generally be the same UUID as that of the partition on which the filesystem was originally created. If it happens to be the same UUID as another existing partition (or device) on your system (which is not very likely), it will have to be changed. If a new random UUID must be created (using tune2fs), record the new UUID and then change it several places in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab configuration files (as detailed below).
- If necessary for your system, change the UUID of the Ubuntu-Med partition (in this example /dev/sda6) to a new random UUID:
tune2fs -U random /dev/sda6 blkid
- and record the new UUID.
- If you have previously created a small /boot partition on your system (used to chainload individual operating system bootloaders as recommended here), then edit the main Grub bootloader menu (in the small /boot partition) to reflect the UUID of the new Ubuntu-Med partition. In this example, the small /boot partition is at /dev/sda3:
mdkir /mnt/partition3 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/partition3 cd /mnt/partition3/boot/grub geany menu.lst
- Create a new entry:
title Ubuntu-Med Server Jaunty 32-bit (partition 6) uuid xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
where xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the UUID of the new partition (as shown by the command blkid). (Note: You can also use chainloader +1 instead of configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst, if you choose).
- Save the file:
- Save -> File
- If you have created a new random UUID for the newly restored Ubuntu-Med partition (using tune2fs), you must also edit the local /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab files on the newly restored Ubuntu-Med filesystem itself:
mdkir /mnt/partition6 mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/partition6 cd /mnt/partition6/boot/grub geany menu.lst
- Edit all the uuid entries there to match your new UUID. (Be careful: The UUID is listed twice for each menu item -- be sure to change both).
- Then edit /etc/fstab:
cd /mnt/partition6/etc geany fstab
- Edit the line:
UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
to reflect the new Ubuntu-Med partition UUID (as shown in blkid),
- and
UUID=yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy none swap sw 0 0
to reflect the UUID of your swap partition (as shown in blkid).
- Unless you have installed a small /boot partition previously, you must now change the Master Boot Record so that it points to the Grub bootloader stored within the new Ubuntu-Med partition. Assuming the Ubuntu-Med filesystem is now in the /dev/sda6 partition, set the Master Boot Record to load the Grub bootloader there.
grub grub> root (hd0,5) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit
Note: A peculiarity of Grub is its numbering scheme (which starts counting at 0). In this scheme, /dev/sda6 corresponds to (hd0,5) and /dev/sdb2 corresponds to (hd1,1).
- Reboot into the new system:
- Note: This method should take about 30 - 60 minutes to perform (excluding download time).
Download the Ubuntu-Med LiveCD .iso image
Note: At this time the installation scripts for the LiveCD are being re-worked; completion is anticipated soon. Until it is available, please use the Filesystem Archive method instead.
- This CD .iso can be burned and then installed on any computer. (Generic user ids and passwords have been included on the LiveCD which ought to be changed before use.)
Note: The .iso file is 1.7 Gb and will only fit on a DVD (not a CD); therefore it must be burned to a DVD.
- Note: This method should take about 45 minutes to perform (excluding download time).
Changing passwords and other customization
These steps are mandatory after installing Ubuntu-Med, no matter which method is used.
- See Ubuntu-Med Customization for the Lucid version
- See Ubuntu-Med Customization for the Jaunty version
Ubuntu-Med development has temporarily stopped at this time. Certain components have not been updated since Lucid, and files have been removed. A new self-installing version will be compiled during the summer of 2012, possibly using a Debian base with updated components from Debian-Med.

Do you feel like you and your partner are just roommates? Do you feel like there is no longer any intimacy in your relationship? Do you struggle with mismatched levels of sexual desire? All of these things are common in relationships, especially long-term relationships. It's easy to fall into a rut and lose the sense of passion you and your partner once had. You lose track of the things that attracted you to your partner in the first place. Over time, those once-attractive characteristics (and other characteristics you didn't even know about when you first got together) become an annoyance. You no longer find them as appealing as you once did. But believe it or not, there are things you can

Committed and loving connections with a partner are probably the most challenging and potentially healing of all relationships in life. Deep fears of closeness tend to get in the way of realizing such potential, often without being consciously recognized as fears. I help partners in couples to find ways of being gentle and honest with each other and with themselves as they confront and overcome their fears.

Since each couple is unique, I use a variety of approaches, such as, the 'Couples Dialogue' developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix, Emotionally Focused Therapy of Dr. Susan Johnson, research of Dr. John Gottman, among others. I also help premarital couples to avoid pitfalls in their relationship and prepare for a successful long-term relationship.

I provide marriage and couples counseling. I help couples to improve their communications to reduce arguing and to improve their understanding of each other. I also work with couples going through the pain of an affair. In most cases couples can work through their feelings and have an improved connection. Being a male therapist sometimes can help reluctant husbands/partners feel more comfortable coming to therapy and talking in therapy.

THE leader of Westhoughton Town Council has defended its CCTV procedures ahead of a public debate.
Monitoring of council CCTV cameras and reporting of faults will be discussed by town councillors at a council meeting on Monday.
A review — ordered by council leader Cllr David Chadwick — is being carried out with police and the CCTV control centre run by Emerson in Middlebrook.
Cllr Chadwick said he feels the current system works and that the economic climate would make it "impractical" for Bolton Council to justify taking on the burden.
The issue was thrust into the limelight when The Bolton News reported how four of the town's seven public cameras in Market Street were not working at the time of an armed robbery.
The town council said the failure to address the faults resulted from delays caused by the festive season and "high winds", which meant engineers did not feel safe to use a cherry picker.
Westhoughton Town Council has been responsible for the upkeep of street security cameras since they were introduced in the 1990s.
The existing process is for faults to be reported by Emerson to Christine Morris, Westhoughton Town Council's town clerk.
The town council must then determine the cause of the fault, commonly electrical faults or damage to fibre optic cables, before ordering any repairs or replacements.
Cllr Chadwick, who ordered the review to ensure no issues with town council policy to CCTV have been overlooked, said: "You can't guarantee that the cameras are going to be working all the time.
"Usually we make a fairly quick decision when faults are reported on whether we are going to repair or replace them or not."
He restated his pride in the town council's achievements.
Cllr Chadwick added: "The town council has always received funding from central government to monitor and replace CCTV cameras.
"I'm proud of the fact that the town council makes our town a lot better in a number of ways. The community events that bring people together are organised by the town council and we help support the poorest members of the community by awarding grants to charities."
Town councillor Phil Ashcroft, for White Horse, requested a debate on the issue at the end of the last full council meeting on January 27.
Since Cllr Chadwick started his review of the cameras, the town council has started to look into raising one camera in Westhoughton, which has become partially blocked by signs.
The debate starts at 7pm on February 24 at Westhoughton Town Hall.

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
The Deaths of Disbelievers and Believers will not Be The Same
In the Qur'an, God discloses a secret about death, which is unknown to many people – what a dying person actually experiences is not what other people outwardly observe. God tells us in the Qur'an as follows:
Another secret God reveals about death is the great terror and agony disbelievers experience at the moment of death. The people around are unlikely to witness this terror. God relates this fact in His verses as follows:
In accordance with this secret revealed in the Qur'an, a disbeliever may seem to have peacefully died in his bed. It may seem to the people around as if he had by no means gone through any pain or suffering in the course of death, but that his eyes had just closed. However, God informs us that a disbeliever feels a deep agony. How angels take disbelievers in death is explained in the Qur'an as follows:
Contrary to this trying death of disbelievers, believers experience a very easy death. For example, a believer who fought in a battle next to the prophet and was stabbed with a dagger, relieved from all forms of fear, experiences a peaceful moment of death. As God informs in the verse, believers' souls will be taken in a state of purity and they will be welcomed by angels with greetings and good news. God has described the death of believers as follows:


text: Whether it was real or just someone to be photographed with Britney Spears might never be known because David Lucado signed a non disclosure agreement the size of a phone book, but apparently the two have split. The two have been together since Britney's split with her last boyfriend Jason Trawick who was given his walking papers when he wouldn't commit to marrying Britney. Judging by some people who saw Britney recently perform in her Vegas residency, she seemed less than thrilled to be out there and I wonder if it isn't time for a break for her. She really has no interactions with anyone not in her inner circle, meaning her family and bodyguards and maybe she should just take a few years off. I know she is a money train for a lot of people, but at some point, just let her do what she wants to do. You get the feeling that she just does what her father tells her to do and is doing what makes him happy rather than what makes her happy.

I don't know if I am allowed to write here, but I have an idea for a feature.
A feature to make rainbow tables out of one or more wordlist's.
I have finally found time to download and use this.
I have only used the manipulation and creation sides of the toolkit yet, but I must say, it's a really good toolkit to have and I LOVE it!
I have found one little "bug", when I tried the stripping feature on a 100MB wordlist, and set 8-63 the maximum character length, it started from 7 and up :-/
But I did remove 16MB from the file, so I am really satisfied :-D
I look forward to future releases :-)

WATCH: Taylor Swift fan rushes stage in London
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
Taylor Swift was rushed by a frantic fan while on stage in London over the weekend — and handled it incredibly well.
The singer was slowly walking up a staircase portion of her set when the young man bolted from the audience and ran past security, actually getting close enough to Swift to appear to give her a letter.
Swift was gracious, smiling in surprise at her admirer and shaking his hand before bodyguards whisked him away.

"Edward Hopper: The Watercolors" On View October 22, 1999January 3, 2000
Contact: Smithsonian American Art Museum's Public Affairs Office AmericanArtinfo[at]si.edu
American Art's Web site: AmericanArt.si.edu
Recorded information: (202) 633-8998
The first major exhibition in forty years of the watercolors of Edward Hopper (1882–1967) will premiere at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on
The product of several years' research by Virginia M. Mecklenburg (senior curator at the Museum of American Art) and Margaret Lynne Ausfeld (curator at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts), "Edward Hopper: The Watercolors" brings together rarely seen masterworks from fifteen private lenders and eighteen museums. Senators Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) and Robert Bennett (R-Utah), both longtime arts advocates, are honorary patrons for the exhibition.
The watercolors present an approach very different from that of Hopper's oils and their carefully composed urban scenes heavy with alienation and rigid geometry.
"We are delighted to present these wonderful watercolors by one of America's most revered artists," said Elizabeth Broun, director of the Museum of American Art. "These paintings reveal a more spontaneous Hopper who was moved by the thematic possibilities of simple houses and expansive skies."
Born in 1882 in Nyack, N.Y., Hopper first became known for his etchings. He had painted since his student days at the Chase School, where he was a classmate of George Bellows, Guy Pène du Bois, and Rockwell Kent, but his artwork brought him little attention and for a number of years he made his living as an illustrator, a career he found unsatisfying and frustrating.
While vacationing in Gloucester, Mass., during the summer of 1923 he began working in watercolors at the suggestion of Jo Nivison, an artist who became his wife the following year. Away from New York and working outdoors in a medium that demanded quick choices, Hopper was at his freest. He drew from visually complicated subjects—lighthouses along the shore, gabled and dormered Victorian houses—to create images specific to real locations, a direct contrast to the invented settings of the etchings and paintings of his urban artworks.
The watercolors, composed only by Hopper's choice of vantage point, capture subtle and ephemeral shifts in the light and air of a particular moment and place. In them he examines crisp New England landscapes, the dramatic perspectives and intense sunlight of Mexico, and haunting vestiges of the Civil War in Charleston. Hopper repeatedly turned to lighthouses and Victorian architecture as symbols of the past. By setting these subjects adjacent to utility poles, railroad tracks, or other references to progress, he elicited a dialogue between past and present and alluded to change as a fundamental characteristic of American life.
The watercolors from the summers of 1923 and 1924 catapulted Hopper to fame. The Brooklyn Museum purchased "The Mansard Roof" after including it in their 1923 watercolor show, and all sixteen paintings in a 1924 exhibition at Frank K. M. Rehn's New York gallery sold. In "The Mansard Roof" (1923), a sun-washed pile of a house, fluid forms of foliage and shadows dance to the same breeze that billows the yellow awnings. "He captured the temperature of the air, a breath of wind, the rustling of dry grasses—an aura of timelessness very different from the psychic urgency so often found in his urban scenes," said curator Mecklenburg. In "Funnel of Trawler" (1924) the interplay of light and shadow combines with unusual cropping to create a sense of immediacy.
Hopper visited Cape Cod for the first time in 1930 and he and Jo returned each summer to paint, building a modest house there in 1934. While the watercolors produced during the 1930s are less spontaneous, they exhibit a greater sense of compositional finesse and take on a more modernist edge. "Roofs of the Cobb Barn" (1931) emphasizes the clean geometric forms and white planes of the barn roof.
In his later watercolors Hopper engaged the textured surface of the paper through drybrushing and relied less on washes. "Cottages at North Truro" (1938) illustrates this "toothier" approach. It also unites two important Hopper themes, vernacular architecture and railroad references, in a complex and dramatic landscape.
By the late 1930s his work was becoming more restrained in both style and method. Hopper had exhausted the Cape Cod area for imagery, and he and Jo began traveling elsewhere for subject matter. Several of the late watercolors were painted in Mexico; Monterrey and the Spanish colonial town of Saltillo provided inspiration for "Monterrey Cathedral," "Saltillo Mansion" and "Saltillo Rooftops," works from the summer of 1943.
Edward Hopper's regular forays in watercolor ended with a trip West and into Mexico in 1946. Asked in 1960 if he gave up watercolor out of a preference for working slowly, he replied, "I don't think that's the reason I do fewer watercolors. I think it's because the watercolors are done from nature and I don't work from nature anymore."
"Edward Hopper: The Watercolors" is the final exhibition before the museum begins an extensive renovation of its historic home, the Old Patent Office Building. During this three-year renovation, eight major traveling exhibitions featuring 500 treasures from the permanent collection will make stops in 70 museums throughout the country. The Smithsonian American Art Museum's presence in Washington, D.C., will be maintained at its Renwick Gallery, located on Pennsylvania Ave. across from the White House. The museum's award-winning Web site at www.nmaa.si.edu will continue to produce virtual exhibitions, the bilingual Web 'zine ¡del Corazón!and other educational features, in addition to offering extensive collection and research resources.
Following its Washington debut, "Edward Hopper: The Watercolors" will be shown January 30 through March 26, 2000, at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts in Montgomery, Ala., the final venue for the exhibition.

GSA Technology Leader Whitley Promoted to SES
February 17, 2000
Contact: Peggy Strain
Washington, D.C. -- Mary G. R. Whitley, a Federal Technology Service leader, has been selected for a newly created position as Assistant Commissioner for Sales in a coveted appointment within the federal government's Senior Executive Service. The U.S. General Services Administration announced the promotion of Whitley, who will manage customer sales for FTS in her new role.
A 24-year veteran of federal service, for the last three years, Whitley has been deputy assistant commissioner for the Office of Information Technology Integration within GSA's Federal Technology Service office in Falls Church, Va. With the help of her leadership, ITI has experienced explosive growth, providing more than $3 billion annually in contract technical service to federal agencies across the globe. She has overseen acquisition, integration, development and management of information systems and technology.
Whitley's standout leadership has been proven since earning a place in the first class of women to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy in 1980 and her commission as a U.S. Army officer on active duty for 11 years. Additionally, she was graduated from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government Program for Senior Executive Fellows. At the University of Southern California, she earned a master's degree in systems management.
Her technical know-how is an outstanding example of a new breed of government excellence and diversity. "She has the unique set of skills and experience to help drive FTS to major growth in business and provide world class support for our federal customers. I am delighted," said FTS Commissioner Dennis Fischer.
Whitley will be responsible for building positive partnerships with customer agencies, increasing customer retention and growth and constructing an even more effective sales force. As assistant commissioner for sales, she will execute comprehensive management for all customer sales plans and transactions.
"Mary has a thorough understanding of federal technology goals, strategies and service delivery and will do a terrific job representing the organization and its products and services to federal clients," said Charles Self, ITI Assistant Commissioner.
Whitley's appointment becomes effective immediately. The Senior Executive Service is a select corps of some 7,000 women and men based on their leadership capabilities and well-honed executive skills. A review board of the Office of Personnel Management selects members.

LAS VEGAS -- The Walnut Group's novel Candy Cups machine was on display at the recent National Automatic Merchandising Association's OneShow, held late April here. Candy Cups is an all-mechanical bulk-loading machine designed to dispense popular bulk confections in disposable, recyclable 50-ml. (1.69-fl.oz.) cups, rather than directly into the patron's hand (see VT, December).
The cup holds about 50gm. (1.76 oz.) of candy or gum, equivalent to 50 to 55 pieces of M&M's. The model on display had three chambers, each holding 210 cups (630 total), and can dispense three product selections. Couplers are available to join two or three machines into a center or island display with all-around access. The complete vend cycle -- dropping the cup and filling it -- is entirely powered by the patron's turning the knob that actuates the coin mech.
Cups can be imprinted with location, operator or product logotypes, and Walnut Group reports that the system is being warmly received by high-end clients concerned about hygiene.
The Walnut Group is based in Toronto and is online at walnutgroupinc.com.

By Ryan Divish The News Tribune
PEORIA, Ariz. — It's 7:30 a.m. in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse on Sunday morning. No one is really awake. A few sleepy-eyed players look at Sudoku puzzles or pick at breakfast, a few sit in front of their lockers still wondering why they are up so early.
Then the door opens, and here comes Raul Ibanez. He's awake. He's smiling. He's over-flowing with enthusiasm.
His energy becomes infectious as he says hi to everyone he sees. People seem to start moving a little quicker, blood begins to flow.
An unsaid message is delivered: "Raul is here, it's time to get to work."
Ibanez gets to his locker and dresses as fast as a Little Leaguer would on the first day of the season. He can't get his uniform on quick enough.
His attitude screams: "Today is going to be the best day ever."
But there was nothing special about this Sunday to give Ibanez such a chipper attitude.
He had the same attitude on Saturday, and the day before that and the day before that.
Sense a pattern?
"It's every day," said outfielder Jason Bay, whose locker sits next to Ibanez's locker. "He's very consistent that way."
But how can Ibanez be so darn giddy every day?
"I love what I do," Ibanez said. "It's fun for me to wake up every morning. I'm excited about coming to the ballpark. What more can you ask for? I don't think I've ever really worked. I mean you work hard at your craft, but if you love what you do, it isn't really working."
From the day he's shown up at spring training until Sunday, Ibanez has attacked each day with the enthusiasm of a rookie and motivation of a player just trying to make the team.
He is neither. At age 40 (he turns 41 on June 2), he's one of the oldest players in major league baseball. And after 16 seasons in the big leagues — two stints in Seattle — and a World Series ring with the Phillies, his place on the Mariners roster is cemented.
"I'm passionate about what I do," he said "I enjoy it. I love the craft. I love working on it."
There is not an ounce of complacency in Ibanez. And once he puts the uniform on, Ibanez disappears.
"I see that he's here, but I never see him," Bay said. "He told me that right away. He said, 'I'm all over the place.' And he is. He is always doing something. He has this nervous energy and can't sit still."
Ibanez never hangs out and plays cards or watches TV. He's got things to do. He's hitting in the cage, he's lifting weights, he's looking at film, he's stretching or doing preventative work with the trainers and then maybe he squeezes in some food. And that's all before the actual team workout begins.
"He's a guy where you think the day is over and you see him walking to the cage for more," said outfielder Michael Morse. "Then you immediately pick up your stuff and head to the cage too. Because if he's going to do it, then you should too."
The young players on the Mariners have noticed Ibanez's maniacal daily routine.
"He brings completely different energy than what we've had here," said third baseman Kyle Seager. "When you have a guy who has accomplished as much as he has and he's out there every day hitting the cages and he's out there doing extra work on the days he's not playing, you can't help but learn from that."
Perhaps even more impressive than Ibanez's commitment to doing extra and then a little more is that his body is able to hold up to it.
Ibanez has played in 1,947 major league games and 640 minor league games since starting his professional career in 1992. That's a lot of innings and wear and tear, but as Seager joked, most people would only hope to look and move like Ibanez at age 40.
His obsessive and grueling offseason workouts are the reason he's able to act like a 20-year old and not limp around like an old man during a season.
"It's a testament to him taking care of himself," Seager said. "He works out hard. And he takes care of his body, that's a way you can be successful for along time in this game. It's one of the things he takes very seriously."
His offseason workouts are infamous. Morse first started them with Ibanez in 2004 and was amazed at the intensity level.
"It was tough," Morse said. "I didn't know he trained that hard. He used to tell me, 'the older you get the more you got to work.'"
Ibanez loves the workouts. They've made him into an above average major league player and kept him in the big leagues for a long time.
"If you've always prepared a certain way, and always trained a certain way in the offseason, then it's just normal," he said. "It's almost like you are programmed a certain way. Two weeks after the season, you are all ready to start doing them again."
Bay called Ibanez a creature of habit.
"No matter how many years you have in the big leagues, you don't get complacent when you have that type of personality," Bay said. "Because that's what you've always done. You feel like you have to keep doing it. I think it's really rare."
Ibanez isn't expected to be an every-day player. He will be a part-time designated hitter, sometime starting outfielder and a full-time clubhouse presence.
"You show up every day — good, bad or indifferent — with that energy and work ethic, I don't know how it can't help the ballclub," Bay said.
Ibanez is hitting .366 (15-for41) with four doubles, four homers and 12 RBI this spring. He isn't about to slow down. You can expect that come 7:30 a.m. today, he will be just as fired up about his day. And he quickly gives the main reason why before going off for some extra batting cage work.
"I'm blessed," he said. "It's a great life. I have nothing to complain about."

First choice to hollow out the inside would be to cut open the bottom and try to work up into the interior from there, just not sure if I can reach all the way into the neck area easily.
2nd choice would be to pick a spot halfway between the back of the head and the tail and using a wire slice through the piece, this would leave the front more detailed areas intact and give nice access to all the parts that need to be hollowed out thinner. The only problem with this manner is I have to figure out how to join the 2 pieces back together seamlessly.
So which is my best option or is there another way to do this? Oh and I used little loafers clay which I plan to use underglazes to decorate and then bisque fire to 04 and then clear glaze applied and a final glaze firing to cone 6. I have attached a couple photos so you can see the shape and style of the figure in case that will help.
Again thank you for your time and input.

You're feeling overwhelmed, right? I'm sorry to tell you that things aren't going to get any better in 2013, especially when it comes to taxes.
Although the delay of the tax-filing season until Jan. 30 offers us a bit of a breather -- unwelcome, however, by those who want to get their returns in so they can get their refunds -- the tax code itself is not getting any easier.
Sure, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 made things a little less taxing for some us by making many laws permanent. Key among these now fixed laws is the section dealing with the alternative minimum tax. That's particularly welcome for tax planning and filing purposes.
But the new tax act also mucked things up by adding a variety of income thresholds that taxpayers will have to consider. There are, of course, the limits of $400,000 for singles and $450,000 for married couples filing jointly where the top 39.6 percent income tax rate kicks in this year.
Then there are the income levels at which some taxpayers will lose some of the value of their itemized deductions and their personal exemption amounts. That will happen once a single taxpayer's adjusted gross income exceeds $250,000; the earning thresholds for head-of-household filers and married filing jointly taxpayers are, respectively, $275,000 and $300,000.
And we can't forget the two new taxes that go into effect this year as part of health reform.
An added 0.9 percent Medicare withholding tax will be collected from the paychecks of taxpayers who, as single or head-of-household filers, make more than $200,000. Married jointly filing taxpayers will see this added amount come out of their pay if they make more than $250,000.
Then when taxpayers earning more than those amounts pay their 2013 taxes, any investment income they have will be subject to a 3.8 percent surtax. This is referred to as the Medicare investment tax because the added tax money on investment income goes to the trust fund for the federal medical insurance program for the elderly.
So when it comes time to figure 2013 taxes, many filers will have to deal with more, and confusing, tax laws.
It's things like this that prompted the Internal Revenue Service's own independent watchdog, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson, to declare in her 2012 annual report to Congress released this week that tax complexity is the most serious problem facing taxpayers.
In coming to that conclusion, Olson cited data collected by her office showing that it takes U.S. taxpayers, both individuals and businesses, more than 6.1 billion hours to complete filings required by a tax code that contains almost 4 million words and that, on average, has more than one new provision added to it daily.
And remember, Olson's figures were calculated before the American Taxpayer Relief Act was enacted.

New Orleans • Before he could bask in a shower of confetti, before he could put his fingerprints on the Lombardi Trophy and before he could head into retirement as a champion, Ray Lewis had one final task: stop the San Francisco 49ers on three plays 5 yards from the end zone.
After two passes went awry, Lewis charged up the middle on a blitz. The Ravens stellar linebacker never made it to Colin Kaepernick, but after the quarterback's pass flew out of bounds, Lewis and Baltimore could begin to celebrate.
"How could it end any other way than that?" Lewis said. "And now I get to ride into the sunset with my second ring."
The 13-time Pro Bowl star began his final night on the football field with a motivational speech to his teammates. He ended it looking upward into a waterfall of silver streamers and purple confetti after the Ravens beat San Francisco 34-31 Sunday night to win the Super Bowl.
"It's simple: When God is for you, who can be against you?" Lewis said, clutching the Lombardi Trophy. "It's no greater way, as a champ, to go out on your last ride with the men that I went out with, with my teammates. And you looked around this stadium and ... Baltimore! Baltimore! We coming home, baby! We did it!"
Standing tall in the middle of a defense that survived a frenzied comeback by Kaepernick and the 49ers, Lewis put a lovely bow on his 17th NFL season by earning another Super Bowl ring to go with the one he received 12 years earlier.
When Lewis first led Baltimore to Super Bowl glory, he was a 25-year-old at the height of his game. A terror on the best defense in the league, Lewis was voted MVP after the Ravens beat the New York Giants 34-7 to earn their first championship.
On Sunday night, Lewis and his defense played a supporting role to Joe Flacco and the offense.
The 37-year-old Lewis finished with seven tackles and sometimes struggled to cover receivers venturing into his area. Receiver Michael Crabtree caught a 19-yarder on San Francisco's second series, and tight end Vernon Davis eluded Lewis twice before making second-quarter catches. Lewis did, however, make two tackles during the 49ers' final drive.
"The final series of Ray Lewis' career was a goal-line stand to win the Lombardi Trophy," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "It was not perfect. It was not pretty. But it was us. That is who we are."
After amassing a team-high 44 tackles in Baltimore's first three playoff victories, Lewis was anything but exceptional against the 49ers. But the Ravens played like champions around him, and now Lewis can saunter into the sunset after again holding the Lombardi Trophy high.
"I told him I love him," Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "What better way to show your gratitude to your leader for 17 years? He's mentored me, not just in football, but in life."

Painless or Not?
I am 8 1/2 months (34 weeks) pregnant and I don't know if I would go for a 'painless' normal delivery or the natural way without anesthesia. This is my first pregnancy and I don't have any idea if I could tolerate much pain during childbirth. I heard several feedbacks from moms that had 'painless' delivery( with anesthesia) that they had short term memory loss or anxiety after child birth. which one to choose?

Hello iyah80,
I'm glad you're thinking about your impending birth experience.
So your question is whether you should deliver naturally, without an epidural, or if you should have an epidural.
One of the things you'll want to do is stay home as long as you can before heading to the hospital. The reason this is beneficial is because you can eat and drink whatever and whenever you want when you're at home. You'll also tend to be more relaxed at home which will help contractions to be less painful and labour to progress faster (both very good things).
At home you can put your favorite music on (something that helps you relax) and you can burn candles if you like them. You can "slow dance" with your husband (a wonderful way to help baby become positioned properly in the birth canal for a faster delivery) and you can labour in whatever position you want. Take a look at this page that teaches you how to slow dance during labour.
Once you head to the hospital, hopefully you'll be well into active labour and well dilated so that you spend the shortest amount of time in the hospital.
Our resident midwife, Jane Palmer, has written an excellent article on epidurals. Here's an excerpt from it:
What are the disadvantages of an epidural anaesthetic?
The disadvantages of an epidural anaesthetic include: Being confined to bed, increases chance of a caesarean birth, increases chance of forceps or vacuum extraction by three times (around 50% of first time mothers will need this type of assistance - statistics between hospitals can vary), approximately 1:100 women will experience a severe headache afterwards, 1:550 women will experience small numb patches on their legs that persist after birth for up to three months, 1:4000 women will experience a life threatening emergency from an epidural (paralysis is extremely rare), labour can be longer (approximately three times more likely to need medication to speed labour up), more likely to need a catheter to help pass urine, some women experience itchy skin (as a result of some of the medication used), some women do not achieve adequate pain relief or partial relief on one side, mothers temperature can rise resulting in the need to give the baby antibiotics after birth... you can read the full article here.
I think it's always important to know as much as you possible can about birth so that you're not surprised and so that you're empowered to make decisions that are best for you and your baby.
One of the most important things is choosing who your primary caregiver will be, whether that's a midwife or a doctor. With a midwife, she will likely be with you for most of your labour and delivery. With a doctor they usually come in at the very end to "catch" the baby, but it's the nurses and other staff at the hospital that usually attend to you during your labour. The labour determines the birth outcome so make sure you create a birth plan detailing what you do and do not want.
The other thing that makes a big difference is where you choose to have your baby. If you're in the hospital you'll likely come under "protocol" which they do for every patient, no matter how individualized their situation may be. Often times they will put a hep-lock IV in your arm at admittance "just in case" you end up needing an IV. They'll monitor your baby a certain way and often times that monitoring means you have to labour and give birth on your back in bed. Giving birth in a squatting position can be advantageous for many mums because gravity helps to bring the baby down and out.
But back to your main question - to plan on having an epidural or not. I'd encourage you to plan on having an all natural birth. If you find that you want an epidural, you can always wait 30 minutes to see how things progress and then see how close you are to transition/pushing and delivering your baby.
Here's an animation showing you how the epidural is given which is important to know if you choose to have one.

Teaming up for a front page covered in eye candy, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alessandra Ambrosio pose up a storm for the February 2016 issue of GQ magazine.
Earlier this year she ended her five-year relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk says the extended romance ended up taking its toll on her self-confidence.
As two of the most beautiful people on the planet, Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed like the picture perfect match.
They both love to pose for the camera, and from the look of Vogue Spain's June 2014 cover, the camera also loves Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk.
Making a love-struck appearance in sunny Madrid, Irina Shayk and boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo attended a Euroleague basketball match on Thursday (March 20).
Looking dapper for the occasion, the Russian beauty sported a denim button down with blue skinnies, while her man showed up alongside her dressed in a vest and tie.
Finding himself face to face with his doppelganger, Cristiano Ronaldo attended the official presentation of his waxwork sculpture at the Wax Museum in Madrid, Spain on Saturday (December 7).
The Real Madrid star wore a brown jacket, tan scarf, and white pants to meet his likeness, who looked ready to hit the field in his red soccer uniform.
Showing some love to his adoring fans, Cristiano Ronaldo showed up at the kickoff of his CR7 by Cristiano Ronaldo underwear line in Madrid, Spain today (October 31).
Unfortunately for the crowd, the Real Madrid stud wore more than just his signature briefs as he hammed it up at Palacio de Cibeles.
He's one of the finest athletes to ever play the game of soccer, but sadly Cristiano Ronaldo's skills didn't really translate to the baseball field.
The Real Madrid hunk threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers game last night (July 31) and it left a lot to be desired.


text: Lane Garrison made a deal with prosecutors which will keep him out of jail after being charged with felony domestic battery. He has to attend 52 AA classes and 52 domestic violence classes and do 8 hours of community service. This is a huge break for the guy because of his vehicular manslaughter conviction. He could have been in jail for a long time. So, he has killed someone and beaten his Playboy Playmate girlfriend and really not spent much time in jail at all. Good to be a celebrity.

Mark Botta of Chester, N.Y. recently took the children of Pine
Tree Elementary School in Monroe, N.Y. on a trip down "Even and Odd
Street," where they had a blast learning place values.
Botta was one of more than 30 Mount Saint Mary College
pre-service educators who treated 300 eager children and their
families to fun mathematics activities. He has also served his
community outside of the classroom as a volunteer firefighter with
the Chester Fire Department since the age of 16. "It's a good
feeling to help out somebody in need," he said.
The latest issue of Mount Saint Mary College Magazine, online
now, features Botta, his stellar classmates, and accomplished
alumni aiding their communities.
Maxine Lindsay-Shillingford's success story began about 1,600
miles away from the Mount, in Jamaica, West Indies. She was drawn
to nursing from childhood, she said.
Nurses in her hometown "had the ultimate respect of the
community," she explained. "I would admire them. They personified
elegance, professionalism and class."
After graduating from the Mount in 1998, Capt. Shillingford
became a U.S. Army nurse, currently assigned to a combat support
hospital's intensive care unit. As a civilian, Shillingford is
administrative nurse manager for the Department of Veterans Affairs
Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y., where she oversees the daily
operations and management of the emergency department.
Shillingford is in good company. Some 37 percent of Mount
students are preparing for careers in healthcare.
