Almonds may still be considered one of the highest energy food sources but it's not about how much you bite off, instead it's about how much you chew, according to a July 14 panel discussion at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting and Food Expo held at McCormick Place.
"Particle size has bioaccessibility of the energy of the food that is being consumed," said Dr. Richard Mattes (CQ), professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. "The more you chew, the less is lost and more is retained in the body."
Each individual has their own chewing habits, he said, and although those are often difficult to change they should be considered when making energy food choices.
Mattes shared a recent study with conference attendees in which study subjects chewed almonds 10 times, 25 times or 40 times and their fecal fat and energy lost by the number of chews were measured. The study found with fewer chews, the larger particles were eliminated by the body. With more chews, the smaller particles were more readily absorbed into the system.
"If the goal is to include food that is enjoyable and contribute protein, a whole almond is probably the way you want to go," Mattes said. "If you're interested in maximizing Vitamin E intake, chopped almonds, almond butter or almond oil may be a better choice."
Mixed fibers from fruits, vegetables and whole grains also topped the charts as high energy sources, he added.
"When your total diet is higher in fiber, there's a greater loss of fat," Mattes said. "Fiber binds with fatty acids to create energy sources in the body."
Dr. Roger Clemens (CQ), chief scientific officer of Horn Company of La Mirada, Calif., and an adjunct professor of pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences within the USC School of Pharmacy, explained in his abstract that scientists today continue to estimate the measurements of energy derived from foods based on calculations created over 125 years ago by Wilbur O. Atwater, (CQ) a USDA agricultural chemist who published his findings from more than 200 dietary studies on caloric content in kcal/g of carbohydrates (4), proteins (4) and fats (9) as they were found in foods and metabolized by the body.
Clemens did acknowledge many variables can impact how efficiently the body extracts energy from plant-based foods or ingredients, especially those high in dietary fiber cereals and plant extracts, nuts and seeds.
Clemens added more study and understanding of the digestibility of plant-based foods and ingredients could contribute to more appropriate energy values and more accurate product labeling.
"We may see a resurgence of digestibility studies in humans rather than relying on estimates by Atwater that we have been doing for a number of years," said Malden Nesheim, (CQ) provost emeritus and professor of nutrition emeritus, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
Dr. Martin Wickham (CQ), director of nutrition at Leatherhead Food Research in the United Kingdom, also presented an update at the conference session on similar studies in the European Union and recognized a new study released Friday about school lunches.
"It recommended a ban on people bringing in packed lunches which are not as healthy as school meals," Wickham said. "We tend to talk about school meals and their nutritional quality but this is the first time where they talked about the calories playing a major part in childhood obesity in the UK."
Wickham added that in December 2012, the European Union published new regulations on food energy guidelines and a European-wide way to handle calories, also suggesting new measurements of the macro micro nutrients and using averages on food tables. These new regulations, he said, will be imposed in December 2014.

Making Greenville Better
Greenville has recently become the envy of other communities throughout the world. Top ten lists? We have been on most of them.
TOP TEN FOR… places to retire, Main Street, places for young professionals, cool places, per capita engineers, international foreign per capita manufacturing investment, biking towns, small arts towns, best public park, etc. The list goes on and on.
How did this happen? How did Greenville move from being a forgotten Southern city statistic of the migration to the suburbs to the shining star we have become today?
The 30-year overnight transformation of Greenville County happened for relatively simple reasons. Visionary, often against the grain, leadership with a basic belief that nothing is impossible, and an understanding that community change happens if a community believes in itself. Greenville created a visionary plan to make it happen, and charged its leadership with the freedom and power to make it happen. Our leaders took us from "Milltown" to "Willtown."
Greenville Forward is the primary facilitator, shepherd, and catalyst of Vision 2025, Greenville County's bold and aggressive comprehensive plan for Greenville's next generation. Greenville Forward's mission is to enhance the quality of life for greater Greenville by engaging all citizens in continually updating, promoting, and facilitating a community vision for 2025 and beyond. This is accomplished by accomplishing the following strategic goals.
- Understand Greenville's Issues. Conduct research to understand the key issues facing Greenville and build systems to prioritize and evaluate progress in achieving those goals.
- Build Partnerships and Create Dialogue. Communicate Vision 2025 goals, create dialogue to build networks, and help non-profit and community-driven organizations support the vision.
- Track Progress. Develop vision success metrics and measure annual goal attainment in an understandable and meaningful format, and share community report cards of progress for Vision 2025 goals.
- Inspire Leadership. Identify, develop, and inspire talent in Greenville to help them become more engaged and connected in Greenville's future and build partnerships that result in alignment with broad community and regional initiatives.
"Someone needs to wake up every morning thinking about where Greenville is going."
– Ben Haskew, Greenville Chamber of Commerce

Home > Features > Issues > Bali Memorial > Article
Hundreds of people gathered today at Sydney's Coogee Beach for the unveiling of a memorial for those killed in the Bali bombings.
The service was held at Dolphins Point, where the memorial remembers 20 of the 88 Australian victims who came from Sydney's eastern suburbs, including members of the local Coogee Dolphins rugby league club.
Deputy Mayor of Randwick, Michael Daley, opened the ceremony with a message that the Bali victims were thought of every day, and their memory would be permanently enshrined in the memorial dedicated today.
"It is a symbol and a reminder to all those, not only who we lost in Bali, but were touched in some way by the tragedy," Mr Daley said.
"It also pays tribute to (the) Australian spirit and courage."
Dolphins Point was earlier named in honour of the members of the Dolphins club who died in the Bali bombings on October 12 last year.

Will a Mohs surgeon usually remove other lesions besides the one biopsied prior to the surgery appointment if it is obvious to him with a high degree of certainty that they are basal cell lesions? Also, are subtle, slightly dark red, raw spots on the outer surface of the lower lip that don't heal over several months likely basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma or none?
Removing Multiple Lesions Besides the One Biopsied?
Doctor Answers 4
Mohs surgery after biopsy confirmation
Mohs surgery is performed after a lesion has been biopsied and it's histopathology confirmed. The surgeon should know precisely the nature of the tumor before attempting to remove it with Mohs surgery.
The lip lesions you describe should be evaluated by a dermatologist but sound like actinic keratoses.
Mohs surgery and biopsies
A Mohs surgeon would need to confirm, despite a clinically-obvious appearance, that a lesion is a skin cancer by performing a biopsy, prior to commencing with Mohs surgery. If a patient is referred to the Mohs surgeon by a dermatologist, then usually the dermatologist biopsies the lesion prior to the referral. If a Mohs surgeon sees a suspicious lesion, it is appropriate for the Mohs surgeon to discuss this with the referring doctor and a plan would be made as to who would biopsy the lesion.
Raw lesions deserve a biopsy on the lip to rule out a skin cancer but there are erosive skin conditions, such as lichen planus, that can cause chronic raw lesions. Some skin cancer acts more aggressively on the lip, especially squamous cell carcinoma, so you should definitely see a dermatologist.
Removing lesions before Mohs surgery
A Mohs College trained Mohs surgeon is also a trained dermatologist and if seen in an appointment prior to the surgery date, will likely be able to look at the other lesions that seem to be concerning the patient and decide on removal vs biopsy vs other treatment. The lesions on your lip sound like precancerous spots called actinic keratoses- but should also be properly evaluated for diagnosis and treatment.
You might also like...
Does Mohs surgery need a biopsy before surgery?
In general, Mohs surgery is performed after a biopsy has confirmed that the suspicious area is something amenable to treatment with Mohs surgery. After all if we're lucky on the first stage of Mohs surgery you won't see anymore skin cancer. So it is preferable to have pathology documenting that there was a skin cancer there to begin with. If you have nonhealing erosions on your lip, your doctor should evaluate the area to make sure it's not actinic keratosis or squamous cell carcinoma.

Jens Weidmann, Bundesbank president, would have "no problem" with the European Central Bank selling its Greek bonds as part of a package to help the country's bail-out. But he has thrown doubt on whether governments will pick-up the bill.
"I would have no problem removing the balance sheet risks that we were hesitant about accepting in the first place – so long as their removal does not lead to losses," he told Handlesblatt, the German business newspaper, in an interview published on Wednesday.
His comments provide confirmation that the ECB would be prepared to forgo the profits it had expected to make on its Greek bond holdings – but, crucially, that no deal has yet been struck. Read more

Mowbray, to the west and Essendine, to the south-west, on the east coast main
line. Bourne had been a thriving junction of the M&GN (Melton Mowbray)- Castle Bytham - Bourne - Spalding etc. line with the ex-GNR
branches from Sleaford and from Essendine. The station looked intact when
photographed in 1961, but it had closed to passengers on 2/3/59, when the
M&GN system was closed wholesale, but remained open for goods until 5/4/65
when the line from Essendine was finally closed (passenger services had ceased
18/6/51). The line from Sleaford had lost its passenger service on 22/9/30,
goods in 6/64.
The goods shed was built as part of the 1894 redevelopment needed to accommodate the arrival of the Saxby line to Melton Mowbray. The early 17th century Red Hall had been acquired by the Bourne & Essendine Railway prior to the 1860 opening of its line and was used as the Stationmaster's house, ticket office and waiting room. After closure of the station it was bought by the Bourne United Charities in 1962. The new owners removed the bay windows which will have been added during the last major refurbishment, in the 1790s.

Thanks for all those answers!
The point is that the m0n0 is located at a school (in Germany) which means
that it doesn't matter how much power is comsumed. Also the heat is not a
point for us since the m0n0 is located in a cool room in the school. Only on
peak summer days it becomes around 30°C. Normaly the room has about 15°C.
Guess thats cold enough to keep the hardware cool.
Since the Dell PowerEdge 2300 doesn't have a IDE Bus I would have to run m0n0
from the SCSI Drive. CD/FD is a little to insecure, since we already had a
m0n0 crash as a result of a defuct floppy.
But anyway, since Lee said that the CPU is used alot, although we don't use
the traffic shaper (at least at this point) or VPN, it seems logical that the
CPU is used while processing a lot of traffic.
Another important point was mentioned by Lee: The Server is optimized for Disk
I/O. But that is really not the important part on a m0n0 Router.
I've also considered Daniele's and Chris' statements about the heat of the
Computers but that wasn't a problem in the past.
Since I'm only a student at my school and do not have direct access to the
hardware without my teacher, though I'm maintaining the m0n0 ;) I wasn't able
to provide more information about the hardware quicky, this is what else I
P4 Chieftec Powersupply
P2 Some ECC Memory
I know this information is rare but after considering the mails you've send
and having a lil discussion with my teacher we will go for the P4. I will
probably get some more RAM although it wasn't needed so far. And maybe an
extra fan ;)
Anyway thanks alot for all your responses! You helped me/us alot!
PS: About the power consumption:
We got a
IBM x35* with 2x 600 Watt (Can't remember the last digit of the model right
Dell PowerEdge 4300 with 3x 320 Watt (IIRC)
2x P4 with each 1x 360 Watt
Powersupplies, I know I cannot simply sum those up, but still, I guess there
will be some consumption caused ;)

Amazon startled investors last night with its report of a huge 3Q profit miss. The stock is off about 11.5% this morning from yesterday's close of $227.15 before the announcement. But analysts are taking the disclosure in stride, saying that Amazon's just going through some growing pains while CEO Jeff Bezos awaits a huge inflow of cash from sales of the company's new Kindle Fire tablet. RBC Capital Markets analyst Ross Sandler maintained his "outperform" recommendation on the stock, although he trimmed the target price to $240 from $265. "We view these quarterly pullbacks as good opportunities to add to (investment) positions, and see the upcoming Kindle Fire product launch as the next catalyst that should allow for revenue upside in 2012," he says. Credit Suisse's Spencer Wang also trimmed his target, to $200 from $210, yet maintained his "neutral" position on Amazon. He considers it a "core holding in the sector" but urges investors to wait for "a more attractive entry point." Another analyst who's neutral on the stock, Barclays Capital's Anthony DiClemente, cut his target to $220 from $240, noting that the "extremely strong demand for the Kindle Fire would suggest it may be too early to call a structural slowdown in the underlying Amazon growth story." And Caris & Co's Scott Tilghman was unfazed, maintaining his view of Amazon's prospects as "above average" with a price target of $250. Although high spending on fulfillment centers and new products such as the Kindle hurt 3Q profits, he says they also "set the stage for sustained top-line growth."
Amazon -11.5% In Early Trading, But Analysts Say The Growth Story Is Intact
5 Comments
Stockholders who sell Amazon are morons. Amazon is poised for huge growth. Fire is very competitive with iPad and Siri while a stunning app in execution has many competitors which Amazon can buy. Plus Amazon owns the book digital download business
Amazon is approaching the video business opportunity like a start up. Going in big with growth in mind. The tablet will also serve as a tool to stimulate their core business. I am buying on the dip, thank you foolish investors. Can you imagine what the results are going to be after Christmas.
The bigger picture is incredibly tight profit margins that are also currently based on no sales tax. This will soon change and it will become increasingly difficult to get higher profits. Profits must rise and I just don't see it!
My Kindle is the best electronic purchase I've made in several years; Amazon has shown it knows what it's doing, so I'm sure they'll do just fine with the new eInk and Fire products.
I hope Jeff Bezos spends some of this new loot fixing his cancer-victim look, though.
Amazon is one of the smartest companies out there.
Goes to show that the market is just stupid.

The arrest of one of Vietnam's most prominent business tycoons has sent shock waves through the country's stock market and further shaken confidence in its economic and financial management.
Nguyen Duc Kien, founder of Asia Commercial Bank, one of Vietnam's biggest lenders, and a leading figure in the country's football industry, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of carrying out "illegal business," the government said on Tuesday.
Vietnam's stock market fell more than 5 per cent on the news as investors feared that Mr. Kien's arrest was a sign of elite-level tensions in a Communist-ruled country where businessmen rely on close connections to senior politicians.
Mr. Kien, 48, is also chairman of the Hanoi Football Club and a company that runs the country's popular V-League football business. Although he no longer holds office at ACB – in which Standard Chartered has a 15-per-cent stake – and has reduced his shareholding to less than 5 per cent, according to the bank, he is believed to hold stakes in several other Vietnamese lenders.
Trinh Kim Quang, ACB's vice-chairman, said in a statement posted on the bank's website on Tuesday that the arrest was a "personal" issue relating to his other business activities and had no bearing on the bank's operations.
But as some anxious ACB customers withdrew their deposits from branches, the central bank tried to reassure them that Mr. Kien's arrest would not affect the bank's operations and that their money was safe.
"The State Bank of Vietnam is closely monitoring developments in the money market," it said in a statement on its website. "If necessary, the State Bank of Vietnam is willing to offer liquidity support to ensure the stability and safety of the system."
Mr. Kien's arrest is the first such move against a member of the new generation of high-profile tycoons who achieved great wealth as Vietnam's Communist party opened up the economy over the past two decades, following a path laid out by neighbouring China. But rapid economic growth has come at the cost of economic instability, with inflation crises, currency devaluations and major corruption scandals at state-owned companies damaging Vietnam's status as a once-hot emerging market.
Annual GDP growth, which averaged more than 7 per cent in the decade before the inflation crisis of 2008, slowed to just 4.7 per cent in the second quarter of this year.
Carl Thayer, an expert on Vietnamese politics at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, said that the arrest of such a prominent and well-connected businessman as Mr. Kien would require political backing from the highest levels of the government and the Communist party.
With Vietnam's economic growth model floundering, he said there were tentative signs of a backlash against the "super rich," who seem to have benefited from the boom at the expense of national economic stability.
But he said that while "other businessmen may be concerned that they may be next, there's a limit to how far this can go."
Mr. Kien played a key role in building ACB into one of the country's leading commercial banks. He became deputy chairman of its Founding Commission, a largely symbolic role, until the commission was dissolved three months ago.
His arrest follows the downfall last year of Dang Thi Hoang Yen, a businesswoman and one of the first of the corporate class to be elected to the Communist-controlled parliament, or national assembly. Ms. Yen was dismissed from the national assembly in May after the electoral supervisory body cited discrepancies in her candidacy application form.
Several investors who do business in Vietnam said the move against Mr. Kien raised questions about the stability not just of the country's banking system – burdened with non-performing loans and dwindling profitability – but also the political and foreign investment environment.
The benchmark VN-Index of the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, and the Hanoi Stock Exchange's key indicator, the HNX-Index, had dropped nearly 4 per cent and 5 per cent respectively by Tuesday afternoon. Shares of Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank and Vietnam Export-Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank – another of Vietnam's biggest banks – fell amid heavy trading.

Deadlines for November vote are approaching
Tomorrow (Saturday, October 8, 2016) is the last day to register to vote in November's Presidential election. The Tunica County Circuit Clerk's office in the courthouse will be open until noon that day for last minute registrants and for anyone who wants to vote absentee. Mail in voter registrations must be postmarked no later than Saturday, October 8.
Rosa Fort Homecoming 2016
HOMECOMING 2016 – Rosa Fort High School kicked off this year's Homecoming festivities Friday, Sept. 30, with the annual parade in downtown Tunica.
Future looked bright for Tunica in 1993
Tunica County opened the year 1993 with one casino up and running – Splash, but that one venue proved enough to attract notice from the nation's gaming industry. Soon, developers were clamoring to enter the market here, and local officials were soon overwhelmed with the demands of a boom economy.
This January 7, 1993 story from television journalist Dennis Turner, "Delta gambling town copes with too much of good thing," opened The Times' coverage:
Life in this small Delta town has always been slower than the big city, but recently things here have slowed down, even more. Gambling in Tunica is pumping a lot of money into the county, but it's also creating a lot of traffic problems. Now, residents like Kathy Whittington are trying to cope with the town's new-found success. She says the worst problems are on narrow Highway 61 which runs through the county. "61 has become hard to maneuver on, especially if you're behind a long line of trucks or cars, it becomes almost impossible to pass," she says. 61 is known as "Death Highway" in these parts because of the numerous accidents which take several lives a year here between Memphis and Tunica.
The opening of Splash Casino a couple of months ago has put hundreds more cars on the road, as people drive from three states to the Delta's first riverboat gambling establishment.
TA Lady Blue Devils are North State Champs
In 2015, the Tunica Academy Lady Devils softball team made history. First, they powered through the regular season and were named district champs. Next, they fought their way through North State and captured that title too.
History has repeated itself in 2016, but this time, the team is twice as hungry for a state title.
The girls in blue and white will play their opening round in the Class A Fast Pitch tournament at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct 1 at Shiloh Park in Brandon. Head Coach Chad Kelly said they will meet Tensas Academy, the #4 seed from the South.
Tunica Academy's road to the North State championship began with an impressive regular season. The Lady Devils cinched first place in the district after topping Marvell 10-0 on Tuesday, Sept. 20 in Tunica.

Target: Ann Romney
Goal: Inform Ann Romney that her speech directed at Hispanic Americans is discriminatory and ask her to stop marginalizing Hispanic citizens with her language
The Republican Party is disliked for many reasons. Some take issue with their obsession over businesses, their claims that providing tax breaks to the top one percent of America will somehow trickle down to those in need, and their recent and ridiculous personification of corporations. Still, others take issue with their covert racist language and uncanny ability to insult and demean minority groups with seemingly no effort whatsoever. In a few recent speeches, first lady candidate Ann Romney has made it clear that she and her party have no respect for Hispanic Americans by marginalizing them through language, specifically referring to them as "you people."
In one speech, Mrs. Romney said this about the Republican Party agenda: "It really is a message that would resonate well if [Latinos] could just get past some of their biases that have been there from the Democratic machines that have made us look like we don't care about this community," speaking to Hispanic citizens as though they are somehow different and unable to think without her narrowed and blunt remarks. Mrs. Romney also distinguished between women and the Hispanic community: "I spoke to women last night and I wanted women to understand how important this election is for their children. But as I was sitting backstage listening, I thought, it's also very important that the Latino community recognize how important this election is for them." It's as though she thinks the Latino community cannot resonate with a message given to women and their children–as though the Latino community cannot reach a thoughtful conclusion unless they, as a supposed separate and un-American-like community, are specifically targeted and spoken to, at a fifth-grade level of speech no less.
At first glance, these messages can seem inoffensive, yet Mrs. Romney's choices of words are problematic for many reasons. That she lumps together all Hispanic people from every age, class, location, and ideology is offensive. That she somehow thinks this community is so different from the mainstream (white) American stereotype that she so evidently supports is ignorant and offensive. To speak to this community as though they are a homogenous and unchanging cluster of immigrants who need her discriminatory urging to "get past their biases" speaks volumes about Mrs. Romney's subtle racist ideology.
And it doesn't stop there. At a political rally in Puerto Rico, Mrs. Romney reinforced a popular and negative stereotype about Hispanic people, saying: "You people really know how to party. It was crazy!" No public figure, let alone a candidate to be the first lady of the United States of America, should speak to people and about people this way. Hispanic citizens are American citizens in this country, and they should be spoken to as such. Tell Ann Romney to stop this offensive language.
Dear Ann Romney,
I am insulted by the way you discriminate against Hispanic people in this country. Your words serve to segregate these people and to lump them into bald racial categories where you speak to them as though they think somehow differently from mainstream America. I hope that you do not truly believe that Hispanic Americans cannot respond to speech directed at the American people and must be specifically targeted and preached to. Please stop calling Hispanic Americans "You People."
The truth is, Mrs. Romney, "these people" are often hurt by your party's policies. Your anti-immigration stances, border fences, your yearning to repeal the DREAM act, and now your inflammatory rhetoric that says to these American citizens, "you just don't get it" are sufficient evidence that you have little respect for Hispanic Americans. Stop these remarks and speak to people as Americans, not "You People."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Dirty sheets Broken vending machine Charged me again at the front desk despite my having prepaid thru priceline
Hot water, location Disgustingly dirty bedspreads and carpet, not remodeled like it said, bedbugs, uncomfortable mattresses, outdated electrical, too many plugs in the outlets, unfriendly check in staff, terrible decor, smelly, broken hair dryer, shower was a trickle, this hotel was totally disgusting, broken lamp.
Location is ideal. Been staying there for the last several years when visiting a client. Stayed for 4 nights. There was beoken glass in the parking lot the entire time. The carpets in the common areas filthy. The hallways smelled of cigarettes despite it being a smoke free hotel. The toilet handle was broken. Mold in the shower under the faucet & water diverter on the faucet in the shower was not working. Sad considering the rooms were remodeled recently.
Friendly staff. Although my room was dry, the hallways and rooms smelled from water damage,. The mattresses are old and need to be replaced. Otherwise the room is attractive and spacious enough.
Location and price. Staff was nice. All power cords were unplugged when we arrived: lights, TV, clock, coffee maker, everything!
This hotel is conveniently located near some decent food places. There was also relatively easy highway access. The biggest complaint was the noise level in the halls. 15 minutes of a woman screaming, up and down the hallway, banging on doors, threatening to fight someone... All this at 2 AM! The water in the shower barely drained, the key card to get into my room stopped working twice. Even though I had a reservation, I had to wait in the lobby 20 minutes while they found a clean room available. (it was Thanksgiving so the cleaning staff were off) In general, it was a very unpleasant stay.
walking distance to university and town.
This hotel is dog friendly centrally located. The rooms are standard for a two star hotel, so I wasn't surprised or disappointed in that sense. For me this place was hands down an unfortunate experience. First, they shouldn't advertise "free internet" because it doesn't reach all rooms. I wasn't able to get a connection ALL night. The work I needed to complete was on my Ipad and it doesn't have wifi, so that was a total bust. It also would have been nice if the clerk had told me the office would be closed at night. It was unfortunate that I locked myself out of my room at this place. Without a cell phone the only thing I could do is walk down to the corner store and beg to use their phone. The number listed was for a HJ in Hadley. There wasn't anyone free to come help me out, but Jamal offered to send a cab and put me up in their hotel for the night. Thanks Jamal!! Out of desperation (my dog's food and all my money was in my hotel) I scaled the wall and broke into my room. Yes, it was crazy easy to break into my own hotel room. Good news if you're a dumbass and lock yourself out, bad news if you don't want to get robbed or worse. This place is a two star hotel, so I wasn't expecting anything special.

Subject: [htdig] How to log chrooted and not lose the normal syslog messages?
From: Terry Witherspoon (email@example.com)
Date: Mon Aug 07 2000 - 15:38:49 PDT
I'm running htdig 3.1.5 chrooted on FreeBSD 4.0 with
Apache 1.3.12. I'm trying to turn on logging of search
terms. I'd like a method of grabbing the normal syslog
messages outside the chroot cell AND logging the search
queries in the chroot. I can syslogd to run in both
environments only in debug mode. With syslogd running
chrooted logging works well via the normal syslog
facility and level. Also my apache logs contain the
search terms. When the syslogd is running non-chrooted
the search terms are no longer in the apache logs or
syslogd directed file. It looks as if the -l flag to
syslogd may somehow be able to handle logging in the
chroot but I cannot figure it out. Thanks for any

Have Your Say on the Dunedin 2014/15 Draft Annual Plan
Have Your Say on the 2014/15 Draft Annual Plan
Dunedin, 13 March 2014 – Whether it's support for further funding incentives for the reuse of heritage buildings or a proposed weighbridge at the Green Island Landfill, the Dunedin City Council wants to hear your views.
Public submissions on the DCC's 2014/15 Draft Annual Plan open on Saturday and close at 5pm on 15 April. People are encouraged to make an early submission and, if possible, use an online form.
The Draft Annual Plan is the DCC's biggest consultation process for the year and residents and ratepayers should take the opportunity to have their say.
Mayor of Dunedin Dave Cull says, "The Draft Annual Plan sets out the proposed priorities for the year ahead and where money should be spent. We now need feedback from the city's residents to tell us what you see as important."
Reducing debt continues to be a key focus, but the Council also wants to provide small seed investments which could reap considerably greater returns. These include support for heritage building owners to redevelop and/or strengthen their properties, seed funding towards a community trust to drive the development of a new pool in Mosgiel and modest investments into planning for food resilience and energy efficiency, Mr Cull says.
A summary of what is planned for the 2014/15 year, presented in a map fold newsletter, will be delivered to every Dunedin household from today. Once consultation has started, there will be detailed information on the DCC website and copies of the full Plan, as well as static displays, will be available at DCC facilities such as libraries and museums.
There will also be public meetings and roadshows held around the wider city during the submission period.
The DCC is consulting on a wide range of proposed projects and initiatives, such as in what order widening work on Portobello and Harington Point Roads should be done and proposed changes to the Development Contributions Policy.
Some changes to fees and charges are also planned, such as increases to fees for dangerous dogs, LIMs and in some Building Services areas and a rise in St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool charges to match those at Moana Pool.
Last year's Draft Annual Plan attracted 262 submissions, covering 190 topics.
Further details and an online submission form will be available at www.dunedin.govt.nz/draft-annual-plan from 7am on Saturday.

Personal IRA
See Current Rates
12, 18, or 30 Month
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A TRADITIONAL IRA and a ROTH IRA
Traditional IRA - The traditional IRA is an account that allows you to defer taxes on the earnings on your contributions until they are withdrawn. Also, certain contributions are tax deductible in the tax year for which they are made.
Roth IRA - The Roth IRA allows only nondeductible contributions and features tax-free withdrawals for certain distribution reasons after a five-year holding period. Since Roth IRA contributions are nondeductible and taxed in the year they are earned, if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket when you retire you may benefit more from a Roth IRA than from a traditional IRA.
^Catch-up Contribution allows for make up for lost retirement savings for any individual who reaches age 50 or older by the end of his/her taxable year.

THROUGH the coming week look out for more shooting stars zipping about up there than usual.
Shooting stars, or 'meteors,' are tiny bits of space rock, grains of dust really, which streak across the sky as they burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Most clear nights you see one or two just by chance, but at certain times lots more are visible, and this will be the case next week when the annual Lyrid Meteor Shower occurs.
To see the Lyrids you'll need to be out after midnight, looking east. No binoculars or telescope needed, just go out and wait to see shooting stars. The Lyrids isn't one of the best showers, so you won't see dozens and dozens, but you will - if you wait long enough - see more than usual, especially if you go out on the night of the peak, Tuesday, April 22, and can observe from somewhere dark, well away from the streetlights and security lights of modern life which ruin our view of the night sky.

Amid the election frenzy, several mainstream media outlets instantly praised the Obama administration's response to the Hurricane Sandy devastation in the Northeast. But let's look beneath the congratulatory headlines to see the real and horrifying picture of what's happening.
Right now, homeless Americans are literally freezing, wrapped in blankets and trash bags as they struggle to survive in FEMA tent cities such as New Jersey's "Camp Freedom," which reportedly "resembles a prison camp."

San Jose will host Game One tonight before the series shifts to Modesto for Games 2 and 3 (if necessary) on Thursday and Friday. The Giants finished the regular season with a North Division-best 75-65 record. San Jose is in the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year (2004-2012) having secured a berth as the wild card in the North Division. The winner of the Giants-Nuts Mini-Series will advance to play the Bakersfield Blaze in the best-of-five North Division Series beginning on Saturday.

Championship Notes... The Giants have won four California League championships over the last seven seasons claiming titles in 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. 2009 and 2010 marked San Jose's first back-to-back titles in franchise history. Over their 24-year history (1988-2011), the Giants have won six championships - all in the last 14 seasons (1998, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010). The San Jose franchise has won 11 championships - tied with the Stockton Ports for the most of any team in California League history. This season marks the first time since 2004 that the Giants have participated in the Mini-Series. San Jose saw their league-record streak of seven consecutive First Half North Division titles (2005-2011) end this year. First half winners earn a first round bye through to the Division Series.
Duvall Earns Postseason All-Star Honor... Third baseman Adam Duvall was the only San Jose player named to the postseason California League All-Star team. Duvall hit .258 during the regular season with 30 home runs and 100 RBI's in 134 games this year. He established a new San Jose Giants single-season home run record with his 27th of the year on August 17 in Stockton. Tim Flaherty held the previous mark of 26 home runs during the 2001 season. Duvall's 30 home runs overall lead the entire San Francisco Giants organization.
Team Awards... Adam Duvall and Joe Panik were recognized as San Jose's co-MVP's prior to the regular season finale last Monday. Other award winners this season include: Jack Snodgrass and Jose Valdez (co-Pitchers of the Year), Duvall (Offensive Player of the Year), Panik (Defensive Player of the Year), Valdez (Relief Pitcher of the Year) and Alex Burg (Good Guy Award).
Versus The Nuts... San Jose posted a 16-10 record against the Modesto Nuts during the regular season. The 16 wins were the most for the Giants against an opponent this year. San Jose was 8-5 versus the Nuts at both Municipal Stadium and John Thurman Field in Modesto. The clubs met during the final series of the regular season (August 31-September 3) with the Giants taking three out of four games. San Jose was 8-0 against Modesto in one-run games this year.
Giants In The Cal League Rankings... Adam Duvall finished the regular season ranked first in the California League in home runs (30), tied for second in runs scored (101) and third in RBI's (100). Ricky Oropesa also ranked tied for fourth in RBI's (98) while Joe Panik was third in hits (159). Pitcher Taylor Rogers (12) was second in wins while Ryan Bradley and Jack Snodgrass were tied for fourth with 10 victories apiece. As a team, the Giants were fourth in the league in runs scored (5.4 per game), tied for seventh in batting average (.267) and third in ERA (4.47). San Jose was also first in shutouts (10) while the pitching staff allowed the fewest home runs (94) in the league.
Panik Surges In Second Half... Shortstop Joe Panik batted .337 with five home runs and 46 RBI's in the second half (64 games) after hitting at a .257 clip with two homers and 30 RBI's during the first half (66 games). The former first round draft pick also hit .387 (67-for-173) over his last 42 games of the regular season. Panik led the Giants in hits (159), was tied for second in doubles (27), third in RBI's (76) while he was also the toughest player to strikeout in the California League (one every 11.20 at-bats). He ended the year with a .297 batting average.
Fun Facts... The Giants were 62-2 this season when leading after seven innings - the fewest number of losses in the league ... San Jose's 23-15 record in one-run games was second-best in the California League (Rancho Cucamonga 26-14) ... The Giants batted .286 as a team and hit 30 home runs during August (17-12 record) - their highest totals for any full month this year ... Since the beginning of August, San Jose lost consecutive games just once (three straight defeats from August 25-27).
Clayton Blackburn To Make Game One Start... Clayton Blackburn is expected to get the ball for the Giants in this evening's contest. Blackburn will be making his California League debut after he was promoted from Augusta (A) last Sunday. In 22 starts with the GreenJackets this season, Blackburn fashioned an 8-4 record with a 2.54 ERA. The 19-year old right-hander was first in the South Atlantic League in strikeouts (143) and second in ERA. Blackburn was a 16th round selection by the San Francisco Giants in the 2011 draft out of Edmond Santa Fe High School in Oklahoma.
Opponent Notes: Modesto Nuts... The Modesto Nuts, an affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, won the second half title in the North Division with a 39-31 record - two games ahead of San Jose (37-33). Modesto finished the regular season with an overall mark of 73-67. Former Giants skipper Lenn Sakata is in his first year as the Nuts' manager. Sakata is the winningest manager in San Jose franchise history recording 466 victories over six seasons (1999, 2001, 2004-07). He won California League championships with the Giants in 2001, 2005 and 2007. Modesto was third in the league in runs scored (5.6 per game), tied for fourth in batting average (.270) and second in ERA (4.39). The Nuts were a league-best 12-4 in extra-inning games this season, but also a league-worst 17-27 in one-run games. California League Pitcher of the Year Christian Bergman (16-5, 3.65 ERA) is slated to make the Game One start on the mound tonight.

Minister's decision on red zone properties condemned
Quake Outcasts condemns Minister's decision on red zone properties
The revelation that the Earthquake Minister Gerry Brownlee ignored CERA's recommendation to extend the same purchase terms to all red zoned property owners, "has come as a huge shock and disappointment to our members" says Ernest Tsao, a spokesperson for Quake Outcasts, a group of over 50 owners of vacant land and uninsured properties in red zones.
Christchurch newspaper The Press, has reported that CERA's original recommendation, that all red-zoned property owners be paid the full 2007 Rating Value, was rejected by the Minister. Instead, he opted to offer the remaining property owners only 50% of the 2007 RV and then, only for the land value. The value of all improvements would be ignored.
"The government has sought to pitch this
as a debate about insurance fairness, when the real issue is
Kiwi's property rights", said Mr Tsao. "The
government needs vacant possession of all red zone land but
it has decided to save a few bucks by dispossessing many
owners without fair compensation. This is just a shabby and
dishonest land grab" said Mr Tsao.
Mr Tsao said his members were furious because the government's actions were "contrary to long principle in international law that where a state acquires land from a private owner, it must pay fair compensation" he said.
"If the Minister persists in his declared path, the government will breach a number of its international treaty obligations which will be very embarrassing for the government. Quake Outcasts will shortly call the government to account" he said.

Washington (AFP) July 7, 2011
US senators on Thursday urged greater environmental safeguards for dams on the Mekong River, calling on Washington to use its influence through global lenders to encourage a sustainable approach.
A bill introduced in the Senate applauds the delay in Laos of construction of the $3.8 billion Xayaburi project and called for further delay in Mekong River dams until assurances of adequate planning and regional cooperation.
Senator Jim Webb, a member of President Barack Obama's Democratic Party who heads a subcommittee on East Asia, called the postponement of the Xayaburi hydropower project "a positive step forward."
"I hope that all countries will abide by their commitments to complete a robust assessment of this dam before moving forward on any construction. Absent such a collaborative approach, the ecological and economic stability of Southeast Asia is at risk," Webb said in a statement.
The bill sponsored by Webb along with leading Republicans calls on the United States to use its "voice and vote" in international institutions to ensure strict environmental safeguards for Mekong River projects.
It also calls on the United States to "assist in identifying sustainable economic, water and energy alternatives to mainstream hydropower dams on the Mekong River."
More than 60 million people in the lower Mekong basin depend on the river system for food, transport and economic activity. The Xayaburi dam would have been the first of 11 such projects.
Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam urged Laos to put off the dam, which environmentalists said would trap vital nutrients, increase algae growth and prevent dozens of species of migratory fish -- including the giant catfish -- swimming upstream to spawning grounds.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009 launched a Lower Mekong initiative as part of a drive to re-engage Southeast Asia, with a focus on education, adapting to climate change and fighting diseases including HIV/AIDS.

Advisor Name Title Culbert, David Committee Chair Shindo, Charles Committee Member Lewis, Carolyn Committee Member Keywords

Date of Defense 2012-04-05 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe United States Cadet Nurse Corps, a student-nurse recruitment program administered by the United States Public Health Service, provided federal funding for nursing education during World War II. The subject of nursing on the American home front has largely been ignored, though nursing scholarship has focused, on occasion, on the more exciting battlefield experiences of the Army Nurse Corps. World War II launched a social revolution and set America on its path to a postwar consensus. Although a few historians have briefly mentioned the Corps' successful media recruitment campaign, its role in the social revolution remains unacknowledged.
This thesis examines the ways in which the Cadet Nurse Corps actively demonstrated and reinforced the social changes that took place in America during World War II. The Cadet Nurse Corps legislation of 1943 appeared safe and conventional, even offering a no-nonsense title, but proved to be a progressive and visionary student-nurse program. A safe product, the American nurse, was funded by a program with a radical premise. The Corps promoted equal rights for racial minorities, the professionalization of the nursing career, and the opportunity for women to work outside of the home. The Cadet Nurse Corps provided women with greater educational, financial, professional, and social benefits for a lifetime career. The Cadet Nurse Corps promoted social change by using a "traditional" profession to create a vision of what was appropriate for women.
