How to diagnose start problems with the Rational Synergy classic client
Technote (FAQ)
How do you diagnose start problems with the IBM Rational Synergy classic client?
When you start an IBM Rational Synergy classic client session it can fail for many reasons. This document takes you though some of the most common errors and how to resolve them.
This document is intended to help in troubleshooting problems in starting a classic Synergy client session. The classic client is also known as the 'Thick' client.
The other client option is known as the Developer Client or Java Client or Thin Client. This is a fundamentally different client, with a different startup process and is not covered by this technical paper. If you are having problems with the Java client see if you can start a classic client first. Once resolved then try the Java client. If you still have problems contact Rational Customer Support.
This document is divided up into two sections.
- General introduction discussing what happens when the Synergy session starts.
- A list of commonly seen problems (and some not so commonly seen) and possible solutions.
Information about 'ccm start' command
In order to start a Synergy session in a distributed installation, several different Synergy processes need to consistently identify which host they are on, find each other, and successfully communicate.
In order to make the later sections clearer, let's first introduce the main processes involved in starting a session.
In broad terms the relevant Synergy processes are as follows:
- UI: a session's user interface process. This can be a Graphical UI or Command Line Interface session
- Engine: a session's engine process
- sqlexecd: database server network daemon. (Relevant for release 4.5 Servers on UNIX only, It is obsolete since release 5.0)
- Objreg: object registrar daemon
- Router: router daemon/ service
- ESD: engine startup daemon (optional).(Relevant for release 6.2 and newer)
In addition, we will make reference to certain configuration files:
Synergy Files:
- <database path>/db/DBINFO Information about this Synergy database
- <database path>/db/informixdb The Informix Database Server for this Synergy database
- $CCM_HOME/informix/etc/sqlhosts or HKLM\Software\Informix\SQLHOSTS Information about the Informix Database Server(s)
System Files:
|Name Resolution
| /etc/hosts or
ypcat hosts for NIS or DNS
|%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or
lmhosts or DNS or WINS
or ypcat services (NIS)
Each running Synergy session has a UI and an engine. The UI process runs as the user who starts the session while the engine process runs as ccm_root. The IBM Informix database server runs as the user informix. Put simply, the UI communicates with the engine and the engine communicates with the Informix database server.
Since Synergy 6.2, the engine startup daemon (ESD) provides a more secure method of starting UNIX sessions. Use of ESD is optional and this is configurable. See Online Help for further details.
Synergy starts up a session in a specified order. For the Classic client start the gauge bar represents each step in the process. For each of these steps, this paper gives a description of what is happening at that point. Communications between these processes changed somewhat in version 5.1, but the following general overview is still true.
When the session is first run the UI is the first process to start. There are a number of circumstances that can cause the session to fail right at the beginning – some of these are detailed in the second part of this bulletin. Up to when the gauge bar reaches 33%, all the actions are being performed in the UI. If there is an error message it will appear in the ccm_ui.log file in the client's home directory. However, problems on the Engine machine or the Database Server may cause the session to fail at this point – for example if the Router process is not running.
- At 33% the UI (or ESD if using Synergy 6.2 or later) attempts to start the Engine process. The Engine handles communication between the Informix database and the UI. When the session fails at this point, it is usually due to permission problems on the Engine machine, as can be seen in the examples in the next section. However, there are other reasons for problems at this stage, some of the more common are also listed below.
- At 37% the Engine connects to the Objreg process. The Router tells the Engine where Objreg processes are available (run 'ccm monitor' to see where these are). In most cases faulty name resolution is the cause of problems at this point.
- At 43%, the Engine attempts to connect to the Informix database server. If the Informix host machine does not trust the Engine host machine, then the session will fail here. Also, something as simple as the Informix database server being offline will result in the session failing at 43%. Typically, session failure at this point will be accompanied by an Informix error code and ISAM number, which can be very useful to Support in figuring out the cause of the problem.
- At 70%, the Synergy session is starting. If the session fails at this point, then the user may not be correctly defined in the users table for that database, or perhaps an invalid role is specified in the ccm.ini file or in the start arguments.
Failures at other percentage points in the start process are relatively rare, and if encountered, you should check the messages in your ccm_ui.log and ccm_eng.log – and if these do not help to identify the problem, you should contact Support
Debugging ccm start problems
The Synergy startup process begins with clicking the menu icon or a CLI command such as "ccm start -d <database pathname>"
Synergy will attempt to start a session with interface and engine processes running on the host the user is currently logged into. The engine can be relocated to a different host via a "Engine_host= <hostname>" entry in a user's $HOME/.ccm.ini file, with a -h <hostname> option to the start command, or by specifying a different "Engine Host" in the Startup Info dialog.
A) Failure before 33%
1. Cannot initialize preferences
Synergy preferences are saved in $home/.ccm.ini (UNIX) and %userprofile%\ccm.ini(Windows). If the file is not writable or contains invalid information, then you may see this message. Make sure that the directory is writable and if necessary, delete/rename the file and retry starting the session.
2. Could not find splash screen
Check that CCM_HOME is set correctly in the current environment.
3. Accent execution aborted in module vistartup, file src/vis/vistartup.ac
Synergy preferences are saved in $home/.ccm.ini (UNIX) and %windir%\ccm.ini (Windows). If the file contains invalid information, then you may see this message. Delete or rename the file and retry starting the session.
4. Unable to validate the password. Verify that the host name, user name and password are correct. If the engine host is a Windows machine then also check if ccm_ess is running.
This is virtually self-explanatory. If this is a Typical Client on Windows, check that the engine service (e.g. ccm5.1_ess) is running on the current machine. If you are specifying a remote Windows engine host, verify that the service is running there. Check that the username and password entered is correct (both are case sensitive, so ensure that the CAPS LOCK is not set on your keyboard). The engine host name should be entered correctly, so ensure that ping and nslookup will correctly identify this host.
5. <engine machine> is not a valid engine server. Please check that the name is correct and that the engine service is running.
If you have specified a Windows engine host, verify that the engine service is running there and that it appears in the 'ccm monitor' list as an engine server (the process is listed as ccm_ess). Name resolution may also be at issue – you should verify that there are no bad hosts file entries on this client, and that the engine host name is being resolved correctly from the client machine.
6. Database <database pathname> does not exist on host <engine machine> or is not a Continuus(CM Synergy) database
Database <database pathname> does not exist on host <engine machine> or is not a Telelogic Synergy database
Database <database pathname> does not exist on host <engine machine> or is not a Rational Synergy database
Verify that the database path is specified correctly and that it is visible from the engine host machine. If the engine host machine is not the database server you must ensure that the database path is identical from both machines. This is especially important in UNIX environments where file systems are cross mounted.
If this is only affecting certain users running engines on UNIX check that the start-up files (.cshrc; .kshrc; .profile; etc.) do not contain interactive commands, 'stty' statements or other commands which do not appear in the start-up files for the unaffected users.
For Windows Servers, check that the database path is in the correct UNC format (such as,
If you are running on UNIX and the database path is not visible from the client, only from the engine server, ensure that you are running a copy-based session. This is done by using the -rc option to "ccm start". For a Java client, you must use the "user.allow.link.based.workareas=FALSE" setting in the $HOME/ccm.user.properties file, or $CCM_HOME/etc/ccm.properties file if you want it to apply to all users.
7. Run-area: <path> does not exist on host <host machine name>
On a Windows client (UNIX server) check your ccm.ini file for a CCM_HOME setting near the end of the file under a section called [Engine environment variables]. This will be set to the invalid <path> specified in the above message and should be modified to point to the correct UNIX installation directory.
8. Warning: Cannot open engine log file '<directory>\ccm_eng.log'.
Ensure that the $HOME directory (UNIX) or the directory which you specify as Home in the Client Information section of the Synergy Startup Info (Windows), exists, is writable and has enough free disk space so that information can be appended to the ccm_eng.log. Typically the <directory> in this error message will be an invalid path.
9. Warning: Client database path (<directory>) must be an absolute path.
Verify that the directory that you specify as the Database Path in the Client Information section of the Startup Info dialog (on the PC client) exists and is an absolute path. You should not specify a relative path in this field.
10. open file failed 2 ccm_init() failed. addlib() failed for <ARG TOOBIG>. Unable to open file /usr/local/ccm/lib/ccmlib.a.
Verify that the CCM_HOME environment variable is set correctly.
11. UISSYS engine daemon not registered with router at host <client name>
ESD is not running on the machine where you have specified that the engine should run. Run ccm_monitor to check that it is running. If not, login as ccm_root on that machine and run ccm_esd to start it.
12. open file failed 2 ccm_init() failed. addlib() failed for <ARG TOOBIG>. Unable to open file /usr/local/ccm/lib/ccmlib.a.
Verify that the CCM_HOME environment variable is set correctly.
13. Error opening X display; Check valid $DISPLAY and xhost permissions.
There may be a problem with where the display for a GUI session is being sent. Typically, you want to ensure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to your workstation's display. For example, with a workstation named dis, a csh user enters: "setenv DISPLAY dis:0". A sh or ksh user would enter: " DISPLAY=dis:0 ; export DISPLAY"
Enter env to see your environment variable settings: % env
If DISPLAY is set correctly, but you receive X permission problems when starting a session, try this test case:
% xclock
This must both find and execute the xclock program. A clock window should pop up in your display. Most sites have a system administrator who can help resolve problems running xclock on your system. Until xclock runs, it's unlikely you'll be able to start a Synergy session without -nogui.
Ensure your PATH includes the path to xclock, and ensure you have permissions to send a display to DISPLAY. Typically the user who started the X windowing session on the display machine needs to open up X display permissions with the command "% xhost + ". This allows an X application to appear on the host specified by DISPLAY.
In some cases, it's necessary to exit completely from X windows, enter xhost as shown above, then restart X windows.
14. Error: "Serious: Cannot connect to ccm"
The issue can be seen at the 25% startup mark if the IP address mapping in the /etc/hosts file between the client and the server is incorrect. You will need to ensure that both the /etc/hosts files have the entries of the server and the client machines.
For example, if the IP address of the server (telelogic) is 220.127.116.11 and Client (topaz) is 188.8.131.52 then the entries should look like the following:
The content of /etc/hosts file on the server machine (telelogic)
127.0.0.1 telelogic localhost
184.108.40.206 telelogic
220.127.116.11 Topaz ## client machine
The content of /etc/hosts file on the client machine (topaz)
127.0.0.1 localhost
188.8.131.52 telelogic
126.96.36.199 Topaz
Otherwise, if DHCP is set on the client machine, this issue can also be caused by the /etc/hosts file on the client machine containing the hostname of the client machine associated with an old DHCP IP address. The DHCP IP address of the client machine should match the IP address mapping in the /etc/hosts file on the server.
15. Warning: "You have another CM Synergy running..."
The full message will be similar to the following
Starting IBM Rational Synergy...
Warning: You have another CM Synergy session running at <server>:<port>:<ip address>
Use -m option to start an additional session.
Warning: IBM Rational Synergy startup failed.
This message indicates that you already have a Synergy client session running on this machine. The address of the client is specified in the error message.
It is possible to have multiple Synergy client sessions active on the one machine but you must specify the -m flag at the command line or select
Allow Multiple Sessions in the
Startup Info dialogue.
B) Failure at 33% - Initializing Engine (Engine startup failed)
There are several possible causes for the session to stop at this stage – most are related to permissions problems. The first place to look for error messages is in the ccm_eng.log file. Here are some messages which might be seen there :
1 . Permission denied AND / OR remshd: Login incorrect
As the engine process runs as the user ccm_root, these messages mean than ccm_root does not have permission to kick off the engine process on the engine server machine.
In order for a client to start an engine on a UNIX system, depending on how name resolution is set up in your environment, you may need to check that the engine host trusts itself. You can test this as follows:
i) Logon to the engine server machine as ccm_root.
ii) Try to 'rlogin' again to the engine server machine itself as ccm_root. You should not be prompted to enter a password.
iii) If you are, create a ".rhosts" file in ~ccm_root on the server and add the server's own name and fully qualified name to the file.
In order for a UNIX client to run the engine on the database server, or on another engine server machine, each user starting the session must be able to rlogin onto that machine without a password.
There are 2 ways to implement this :
-- a) Add the client machine to the server's /etc/hosts.equiv file or
-- b) Add the client machine to the $HOME/.rhosts file on the server for each user who will run Synergy.
Depending on how name resolution is set up in your environment, it may be necessary to add both the short and fully qualified domain names to these files.
If you are still seeing 'Permission denied' in the ccm_eng.log, proceed with the following tests to narrow down the possible causes:
-- c) Try to start a session as ccm_root.
-- d) If this still fails, place a '+ +' in ~ccm_root/.rhosts and try again.
-- e) If this succeeds, then remove the '+ +' but add 4 lines containing the client and engine server's short and fully-qualified names respectively, such as
You can then continue to shorten the list until the startup fails, thus identifying the required entry. Once ccm_root can start a session, try as another user. If this fails, proceed as from (b) but make the changes in that user's .rhosts file.
If you find it necessary to specify the server's own name in the .rhosts file for all users, it may be more convenient to declare the engine server equivalent to itself. Do this by adding that host's own name to the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
The hosts.equiv file should never contain an entry consisting of a single '+' sign or '+ +'. The former allows any non-root user in the world with the same login name as one in the local password file to log in without a password. The latter allows any non-root user to log in without a password. However, if you are having continuing difficulty, you may need to try this temporarily, as a test only. You should only use this test to verify that trust is the cause of the engine start up problem, and then you can concentrate on identifying the necessary entries.
To verify permissions are setup correctly outside of Synergy, you should be able to run the following command from any UNIX client without a password, to return the correct date.
% rsh <engine host machine> date
% ccm_rsh <engine host machine> date
For UNIX engines, every Synergy user must have a valid home directory. Iif they do not, then this will also produce 'Permission denied' error messages when trying to start an engine process.
You should also ensure that the remote shell daemon is started on the engine host, so that the rsh and ccm_rsh commands can connect to that machine.
2. engine: Cannot connect to interface at <IP address:port#>
connect failed (#)
Another cause of engine failure is name resolution. Verify that the engine machine can resolve the client's machine name consistently and vice versa. Bad entries in a local hosts file or in DNS can cause problems to Synergy when starting sessions. Make sure that ping and nslookup are consistent in identifying machine names and IP addresses from both sides of the Client/Server relationship.
On a Client connecting to a Windows engine host, there are some other trust issues, which need to be addressed. For example, when experiencing a problem in starting an engine on Windows you might find the following error messages in the Application Log of your engine machine's Event Viewer for the ccm#_ess service (where # is the current version – e.g. ccm5.1_ess) : Could not logon <username> user.
Some common possible causes are:
- Incorrect password entered by client.
- The user does not exist on the same domain as ccm_root user.
- The user does not have local logon rights on this engine server machine.
- The user's account has been disabled.
- Logons have not been restricted to certain times of the day.
3. Cannot connect to router
Both Windows and UNIX clients might see the above message at 33% if the router was not running or the RFC address specified in %CCM_HOME%\etc\_router.adr or $CCM_HOME/etc/.router.adr is incorrect. These files should point to the location of the router process. The 'ccm monitor' command will also fail if the router address is not specified correctly or the router is not running.
4. /bin/sh: <path>/bin/util/ccm_seng: not found
This message on Windows clients indicates that there is an incorrect setting for CCM_HOME in the %CCM_HOME%\etc\ccm.ini file:
[Engine environment variables]
This path should be set correctly to the installation path on the UNIX server so that the engine binary can be located. This is usually set automatically during the client installation.
5. Unknown database server "<server name>" in <CCM_HOME>/informix/etc/sqlhosts!
In order to find and communicate with the Database Server, the engine looks in the file <database path>/db/informixdb. This file contains an entry of the form:
//<database server>/<database leaf name>
This tells the engine on which Database Server <database path> runs.
To find where the Database Server is running, the engine next looks in the Informix hosts file. On a UNIX system this is $CCM_HOME/informix/etc/sqlhosts. In CCM 4.x, each server is represented by one separate line. In CCM 5.x and CM Synergy 6.x, there are two lines for each server. (There is further information on the file syntax in the Administration Guide for UNIX (5.x) and the Synergy Administration Guide for UNIX (6.x)). Each Synergy dbserver is represented in this file with an entry of the following form:
- In CCM 4.x:
<dbservername> <nettype> <hostname> <servicename>
- In CCM 5.x and CM Synergy 6.x:
<dbservername> <nettype> <hostname> <dbservername>
<dbservername>_net <nettype> <hostname> <servicename>
The entry corresponding to the Database Server specified in the informixdb file is located by matching the first column entry. Do not change this entry. Run the command "ccmsrv status" ("ccmdb_server –s" prior to release 5.x) to find out the name of the database server. If there is any inconsistency in the names across these 3 locations, contact your Synergy administrator or IBM Rational Customer Support before proceeding.
6. engine: Time out after 30 seconds waiting for connection from the interface at <host:port#:IP address>
Both Windows and UNIX clients might see the above message at 33% if the RFC address specified in %CCM_HOME%\etc\_router.adr or $CCM_HOME/etc/.router.adr is not that of the correct router process. If there are multiple sets of daemons running on different machines, verify that the correct router daemon for the session is specified.
7. What to do if the ccm_eng.log is empty.
If the log file is empty then you need to trace the startup to get more details on the failure:
Technote 1325790: How do I trace a Synergy Classic Client session startup?
C) Failure at 37% - Initializing Database
1. Cannot connect to object registrar
After the engine has started, it will attempt to find and communicate with the Object Registrar daemon by looking in the file <database path>/db/DBINFO for the HOSTNAME entry. This entry determines on what host the engine will look for an Objreg. Display the file's contents with:
- % ccmdb info <database path>
You should run 'ccm monitor' to determine if the objreg daemon is running and where it is running.
- % ccm monitor
Look for the objreg entry running on the hostname specified by the HOSTNAME field in DBINFO. If the monitor output shows an IP address instead of a machine name for the Objreg host, then this is a sign that name resolution is not correctly set up for this machine.
If an Objreg is not running on HOSTNAME, consult the Installation and Administration Task Reference (4.x), the Administration Guide (5.x) or the CM Synergy Administration Guide for UNIX (6.x) for instructions on starting one or more of the CCM daemons.
Some host machines are configured with multiple network cards, and multiple IP addresses. If an Objreg daemon is running on a machine configured this way, then remote client processes may have difficulty connecting with the Objreg daemon. If possible, move the Objreg daemon to a host machine that does not have multiple IP addresses, then update <database pathname>/db/DBINFO to indicate the new host machine:
- % ccmdb info <database pathname> -k HOSTNAME –v <host name>
If it is not possible to move the Objreg daemon to another host, and it must run on a host configured with multiple IP addresses, try entering the actual 4 part IP address in lieu of <host name> for the previous command. The primary IP address should be used. The primary IP address can be ascertained by running ccm monitor prior to updating HOSTNAME, extracting the hostname from the output, then looking in the appropriate Name Resolution configuration files/services (listed at the start of this document) to find the IP address corresponding to that hostname. The old Objreg daemon should be killed before starting the new one.
In Synergy 5.1, this error at 37% can also occur if you specify the database path incorrectly with respect to case – for example,
will fail whereas
works fine. You should verify that the database path that you specify in the Startup Info dialog or at the CLI is exactly the same as specified in the DBINFO file DBPATH setting (except you exclude the /db at the end).
D) Failure at 43% - Initializing Database
1. Warning: Failure trying to set INFORMIX authentication parameters Illegal user or role, access denied.
If this message appears at 43% of the start up process on a Windows client, verify that the permissions on the Informix registry keys are correct for the database server and the engine host machine (if these are not the same machine). Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Informix and HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Informix to ensure that the Informix-Admin group has Full Control of the complete subtree in each case and also check that ccm_root is a member of the Informix-Admin group (but not the Administrators group). If the user ccm_root does not have sufficient permissions on HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Informix, it will be not be able to create the required subkey remote_DBServers on the first attempt to start the client. Similarly, if the user ccm_root does not have sufficient permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Informix to create the required subkey sqlhosts, the error above will result.
If this error is occurring on multiple clients, contact your system administrator to review the Domain Group Policy settings and/or the installing user's rights as these may be insufficient to carry out the client installations correctly.
2. (Function dbs_open, Informix -930, ISAM #). Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
This informix error is usually due to a name resolution problem. Check that the client can ping the server by long name, short name, IP address and vice versa. If any of these fail, take the necessary actions to resolve the issue. For example, add the relevant host name to the local "hosts" file, NIS, or DNS, depending on which is being used for name resolution.
3. (Function dbs_open, Informix -956, ISAM #). Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
This informix error usually appears when the ccm_root user is not trusted on the database server. Check that the user ccm_root can log from where the engine process is running to the database server and back again without being prompted for a password. You can achieve this by placing the hostname of the engine machine in ~ccm_root/.rhosts on the database server and the server hostname in ~ccm_root/.rhosts on the engine host machine. (On UNIX, the engine host will be the client unless the "-h" option was specified on startup.)
4. Serious cannot open database <database path>. Informix cannot locate <servicename> in /etc/services.
Verify that the service name exists in the services list. On UNIX, the service name is the 4th column of your database server's sqlhosts file located in $CCM_HOME/informix/etc/sqlhosts, and is set up as follows:
- In Synergy version 4.x:
<dbservername> <nettype> <hostname> <servicename>
- In Synergy version 5.x and later:
<dbservername> <nettype> <hostname> <dbservername>
<dbservername>_net <nettype> <hostname> <servicename>
The services file is either a local file on the database server in /etc/services or set globally through Yellow Pages and accessible via the 'ypcat services' command. Entries are of the form:
< servicename> <socket#>/<protocol>
With this information, the engine tries to connect to the Database Server on host <hostname>, at socket number <socket#>.
In Windows , the service name is always called 'turbo' and the services are listed in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services. The reserved port number is 1526, so you should see an entry in both UNIX and Windows services files as follows, unless you have chosen a different port:
< servicename> 1526/tcp # INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server
5. Serious: Cannot open database <database path>
Serious: Informix: Attempt to connect to database server (<hostname>) failed.
(Function dbs_open, Informix -908, ISAM 61).
Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
This Informix error message tells us that the database server is offline, (or on a Windows installation with more than one Informix Server the port numbers for the 'turbo' service in the services file are not consistent). In most cases on UNIX or Windows , bringing the database server back online using the 'ccmsrv online' command will resolve the problem.
On a windows server it may be necessary to stop the Synergy services and restart them to get the Informix server online again.
6. Serious: Cannot open database <database path>.
Serious: Informix: Attempt to connect to database server failed
(Function dbs_open, Informix -908, ISAM 9).
In version 4.5 on UNIX used a network daemon called 'sqlexecd' to handle sessions from remote UNIX clients. This daemon is no longer used in the more recent versions. This message is usually caused by this daemon not being available so as the user root set CCM_HOME appropriately and run 'ccmdb_start_netd' on the database server as described on page 64 of the Installation and Administration Task Reference manual.
To confirm that this daemon is running, rlogin to the Database Server host, then run:
% ps ef | grep sqlexecd
% ps ax | grep sqlexecd (on SunOS 4.1.X)
You will see a "sqlexecd <servicename>" process running. The <servicename> must match the <servicename> (4th column) in the sqlhosts file.
Also compare the <servicename> entry on the host where the Database Server is running, and on the host where the engine runs.
% cat /etc/services | grep <servicename>
% ypcat services | grep <servicename>
These commands must return the same service name and corresponding <socket#>. If all of this is correct, but you still can not start a session, then please contact IBM Rational Client Support.
7. Serious: Cannot open database <database path>
Warning: Informix: Incorrect password or user ccm_root is not known on the database server.
(Function dbs_open, Informix -951, ISAM 0).
Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
Most likely the user id for ccm_root has been changed since the server was last brought online. In most cases on UNIX or Windows , bringing the database server back online using the 'ccmsrv online' command will resolve the problem.
8. Serious: Cannot open database <database path>
Warning: Informix: The appl process cannot connect to the database server <name>.
(Function dbs_open, Informix -25588, ISAM 22).
Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
Most likely the database server is not online. Bringing it online using the 'ccmsrv online' command should resolve the problem.
9. Serious: Cannot open database <database path>
Warning: Informix: Cannot connect to database server (informix_server_name).
(Function dbs_open, Informix -930, ISAM 0).
Warning: Telelogic Synergy startup failed.
Edit the
$CCM_HOME/informix/etc/sqlhosts file
Modify the third column of each line, where the servername is defined, and put the server IP address instead.
E) Failure at 70% - Updating Security From Model
1. Warning: '<role>' is an invalid role.
Warning: Illegal user or role, access denied.
Check the ccm.ini file for an initial_role setting that doesn't correspond to a valid role for this user on this database. It may be that the role was valid for another database (or another user if this is a Windows client shared by more than one user) so you need to make sure that the ccm.ini file is correct.
It is not unusual for the session to stop at 70% for some time that very first time that the session is run. The ownership and permissions of the working files for that user are being updated appropriately at this time, so you should give the session a few more minutes to complete.
2. Syntax errors in attribute 'users' of base/model/base/1.
You may see this message if the users attribute has become corrupt. To repair the attribute, you can always start a session as ccm_root in the ccm_admin role. To do this from the CLI do the following :
ccm start –r ccm_admin –d <database_path>
3. Warning: Unknown function name (Set_callbacks) in function call.
You may see this message if the database has not been upgraded to the same release as the binaries in CCM_HOME. Check the <database_path>/db/MDL_INFO file to verify that the version of the database matches that of the installation. If the database is not up to date, it will need to be upgraded in accordance with the Upgrade Instructions.
F) Failure at 90% - Initializing gui
If a session hangs at 90%, the first place to look for error messages is in the ccm_eng.log file. Here are some messages which might be seen there:
1. <CCM_HOME>/bin/util/ccm_engine: sed: command not found

Protesters against President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare overhaul react outside the Supreme Court in Washington June 28, 2012. A sharply divided Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the centerpiece of Obama's signature healthcare overhaul law that requires that most Americans get insurance by 2014 or pay a financial penalty.
What might Catholics think about the Supreme Court's narrow vindication of the basic features of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Like many Catholic progressives, I shouted out two big cheers. But, I can't quite yet raise that loud third cheer. The court's decision wonderfully affirms the act's basic provisions. And those provisions can get America close to the dream that the institutional Catholic Church has long promoted —government-assured, universal health care for all. So, two boisterous Catholic cheers!
Why not a third cheer? Because despite nearly a year's hard efforts, faith-based groups and the Obama administration have not been able to hammer out the critical last tweaks on exemptions needed by religious organizations in regard to the ACA's contraception mandate. With the momentum and enthusiasm from the court's vindication, let's put shoulders to the wheel and roll out those needed tweaks now.
With those tweaks, many more Catholics can support the law. At least since 1919, the Catholic Church in the United States has insisted that government must assure universal health-care coverage to all Americans. In recent years, Pope Benedict XVI has insisted that such coverage is a right the foundation of which is found in both the divinely ordained dignity of the human person and the moral imperative of the common good.
This century-long advocacy for government's role in assuring health-care coverage flows not from Catholic teachings about charity, but from teachings about justice. In the same way that the church perceives the protection of life from conception to natural death as an issue of justice, so, too, it perceives the moral imperative for health care for all as a basic requirement of justice.
Health care for the poor and others who cannot pay is in no way a charitable gift from those who have to those who have not. Its morality is not that of noblesse oblige. Rather, for traditional Catholic teachings, health care's moral weight comes from the justice at stake in assuring the dignity of life and from the mutual social justice that requires putting the common good ahead of self interest.
Thanks to President Obama, thanks to extraordinary leaders in Congress, and now thanks to brilliant adjudication by the Supreme Court, America, at long last, is close to measuring up to those measures of justice. Many Catholics are poised to join in the cheering.
Like many of those Catholics and other pro-lifers, I'm also gratified that decisions by lower courts have time and again affirmed the effectiveness of President Obama's executive order against any federal funding of abortions in the ACA. I'm grateful for the stalwart leadership of Democrats like outgoing Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and former Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) in helping to insure that protection. The attorneys of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops remain mistaken in interpreting the ACA's state exchanges as allowing federal funding of abortion. The leadership of Democrats like Nelson and Stupak resolved those issues.
This week's Supreme Court decision makes all of this more glorious. Health care for almost all Americans! No more denial of coverage for people with cancer or other expensive conditions! Better health care for seniors! Medicaid coverage for the working poor! Extended family coverage for college-agers! A host of special programs (thanks to Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania) for at-risk pregnant moms and newborns! The law is not perfect, of course. Some Americans such as undocumented immigrants aren't covered. But for Catholics, the ACA brings us close to what our church has pushed for since 1919. Hooray, hooray!
So, why not make the celebration complete? With the energy that supporters of the ACA are all feeling today, let's push through those last couple of tweaks to the law's religious exemptions to enable millions more Americans to join in the applause for this historic law.
Surely there are ways within the law to provide contraception coverage to all who want it that don't require religious organizations to compromise tenets of their faith. Indeed, there are ways to exempt religious organizations completely while also providing more comprehensive contraception coverage than under the complicated tangle of existing ACA rules and accommodations. Religious organizations and contraception advocates can both cheer.
Let's do these last tweaks! Let's bring millions more supporters of universal health care into our celebration! Hooray, hooray… hooray?

University of Cincinnati, Morgens Residence Hall Renovation
Existing building retrofit: University of Cincinnati, Morgens Residence Hall Renovation; KLH Engineers
Project name: University of Cincinnati, Morgens Residence Hall Renovation
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Firm name: KLH Engineers
Project type, building type: Existing building retrofit, high-rise residential
Project duration: 2 years
Project completion date: Aug. 30, 2009
Project budget for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection engineering only: $7.7 million
Engineering challenges
The University of Cincinnati Morgens Hall was built in 1965 on the Uptown campus. The location of this existing dormitory defines the northeast corner of campus, and upon its completion will be a showpiece of student housing renovation projects across the country. The revitalization of this 40-year-old structure is being designed using Revit and BIM. Our team is currently collaborating with UC on its innovative vision for a new exterior envelope of an aluminum curtainwall along with plans for new roofing and a roofing trellis, elevator upgrades, and a replacement of the interior plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems.
The HVAC plant systems, consisting of chilled water and steam, will remain intact for serving new terminal equipment throughout. New fan coil units will be installed in each room. Exposed ductwork and architecturally oriented diffusers will be used for air distribution that will give the dorm units a contemporary feel. The outside air will be preconditioned and ducted to each fan coil unit through new chases coordinated closely to the existing structural conditions of the building. The existing lighting in the corridors will remain the same. New lighting will be designed into the dorm rooms that will again give the dorm unit a contemporary feel, but with a durability that is needed for this type of application. The electric distribution panel boards on each floor will be replaced along with new load centers in each unit. All new feeder and branch circuit wiring will be replaced through the existing raceways. This project is a wonderful example of sustainable design. The university's focus on adaptive reuse demonstrates its commitment to the environment. The building will contain 100% LED lighting, which will account for a 50% reduction in the operating cost of the building.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The Kiss
Harry strummed lightly on his guitar before putting it back into its case. From the little room he was sitting in he could hear the small crowd that was cheering for a band that was playing as he packed his gear. He had just been on stage, performing his song, as well as a few covers. He hoped that by time he went on tour he would have some more songs so that he could branch out a little. Emily and Georgia had both promised to help him on the venture, but so far the only thing he had done was write rifts and parts of songs on his guitar, no words yet thought of.
The door opened, and Harry looked up from his seat on a worn couch. Emily entered, laughing at something a man behind her had said. Harry smiled at Rick, the man who owned the bar that they were currently playing at. In his hand was a check, and without a word he handed it to Harry.
Good show tonight, I loved your Neil Young cover. Rick said, and Harry graciously took the check.
Thanks, it was great to play here. Harry said, standing up to shake the mans hand before he left.
Come by any time they loved you out there! Rick said, and then back out of the room leaving the door open behind him. Turning to Emily, Harry gave a shrug, and Emily laughed.
I can tell you just want to get home now, dont you? she asked, smirking slightly.
Harry nodded, agreeing. Yeah, Im beat. That was a wild show even better then that last bar we played at. Harry said, picking up his guitar case with one hand, and grabbing his amps.
I know! The people here in Vaughn sure know how to party. Emily laughed, reaching over the couch to grab her back pack, and her own guitar. Together the two exited into the narrow corridor behind the stage, and headed out into the parking lot where Emilys beaten up Malibu was waiting.
Is you key board already in the car? Harry asked, as he waited for Emily to fish her keys out of her jean pocket.
Yeah, I stashed it while you were playing you last song which is sounding better and better every time you play. Emily added with a smile.
Thanks, I just wish I could have Georgia play with me every time. Harry admitted, as the trunk popped open slightly. Nudging it lightly, Harry started to move things around so he could fit in the two amps, while Emily took his and her own guitar to the back seat, where she laid them flat.
I cannot wait to go on a proper tour - when Adam and Alan can do all the heavy lifting. Emily laughed, slamming the door shut just as Harry did the same with trunk.
Its not too bad, Harry said dismissively, going around the side of the car, wiping his forehead free of the sweat that had gathered there. As they got into the car, Emily put the key into the ignition and turned the car in. Slamming his door shut, and rolling his window down manually he let Emily putter around her car before putting it into reverse.
Shit Harry, you smell. Did you not bring a change of clothes like I told you? Emily joked, waving her hand in front of her face, as she rolled down her own window.
Harry rolled his eyes, and leaned against the car door. I should say the same to you.
Oh ha ha, Emily countered, finally putting the car into reverse. She pulled out of the parking spot, and without hesitation sped out of the parking lot. It took only fifteen minutes more before they were on the 401 speeding towards home, in Toronto. The wind blew in Harrys face, offering him some relief from the extreme heat he had been feeling before. The radio blared, and Emily occasionally changed the station.
For the past month Emily had made it her highest priority to book Harry shows, and get him making some money, and giving him some experience travelling from place to place as well as stage experience. So far it was all agreeing with Harry, and he liked the quite moments driving in the car at night.
Like all the other shows, as a ritual, Emily reached for her cigarettes in the glove compartment. In the beginning Harry had been shocked to see that Emily smoked, but she quickly explained she only did it occasionally and a lot during tours. So what, are you getting warmed up early or something? Harry had asked her comically.
You could say that, Emily had told him.
Lighting up a fresh cigarette, Emily took a deep drag, and blew the smoke out her open window. Same as all the times before she checked with Harry that it was okay that she was smoking and same as all the time before Harry assured her he didnt really care. In fact, the cigarette smoke didnt bother him anymore, and gave him some little comfort in that it was routine.
It wasnt long before the blaring lights of Toronto met them, and they passed the CN Tower with little interest. Harry glanced every so often at the clock, rubbing his eyes tiredly, and shifting in his seat. He was eager to get home, and to get into his bed where he could almost die in slumber.
You played great tonight Harry, really. Emily said, looking at him momentarily, puffing out another breath of smoke. Honestly, I think you were born for this stuff.
Harry gave a small smile. Youd be surprised to learn that this isnt the only thing Ive been told I was born for. Harry told her, knowing all too well that Emily had no idea what he was talking about.
Oh really, what else were you born for? Emily asked, curious.
To make coffee, Harry joked, and Emily burst out laughing.
You are such a knob. Emily sniggered.
Harrys brow rose. Im a what?
Emily smiled. Sorry, its something my sister has got me saying. She got it from her Newfie friend that she made at camp.
Harry gave her a bewildered look. Explain? He had only heard a few stories from Emily about her younger sister who was only seventeen, and lived in Emilys hometown of Hamilton.
Emily grinned. Every summer my sister goes to camp and people from all over Canada go to it. She has this friend from Newfoundland one of Canadas provinces remember! and she is always calling people knobs. I dont really know where it comes from though. Emily explained, ending in a laugh.
Harry shook his head. You Canadians, he murmured.
Putting her cigarette out, Emily put both her hands on the wheel and turned down Dublin St. and Harry was glad to be home; he was exhausted. As they pulled into the drive way behind Adams van, Harry unbuckled his seatbelt and waited for Emily to stop. Slowing down, Emily turned off the engine, and the two of them wound up their windows. Harry finished first, and went to open his door when his ear caught on the song that was playing on the radio.
Emily, isnt this your song? Harry asked, recognizing the song immediately. Emily glanced up, freezing to listen as the words filtered through the stereo.
Two am and she calls me cause Im still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I dont love him, winter just wasnt my season.
Oh my God, it is my song! Emily shouted in surprise and happiness. Turning up the radio, both Harry and Emily leaned back in their chairs, and looked at each other in amazement.
This is awesome Emily, really. Harry told her as the song continued to play.
Emily flashed her aqua eyes at him, a smile filling her entire face. It made Harry laugh seeing how happy Emily looked; it was as if she had won the grand prize at an amusement park. Staring into her aqua eyes again, he found himself compelled to her. Without realizing it, he was leaning towards Emily, and she was leaning towards him, and then their lips met. For a few brief seconds, Harry was lost in another world when a voice from no where seemed to filter into his mind, its not me.
Harry pulled away before Emily could, and immediately reached up to his head, running his head through his tangled hair, breathing heavily as he tried to access what had just happened. How could he have let that happen? And where had that voice come from?
While thinking to himself, he hadnt noticed that Emily too, was in distress at what had just happened herself. Her hands over her mouth, she quickly mumbled something to Harry, and unlocked her door, and stepped outside. The door slammed shut and she went to the back of the car to the truck. In the side view mirror Harry watched as Emily paced back and forth, her hands pushed tight against her face. Knowing he had to set things straight, Harry unlocked the car door and stepped out.
Emily, Im sorry, but I shouldnt have let that happen. Harry said approaching Emily.
She stopped pacing, and faced him, dropping her hands to her side. She shook her head vigorously. No, no, its my fault, I shouldnt have done that. Georgia, she told me about why you left England, and I Ive been so stupid. I shouldnt have done that. Emily repeated, not daring to look at Harry.
Unsure of what to do or to say to calm Emily down he watched her pace a few more times. He didnt know how to respond to this piece of information, that Georgia had gone and told her about Ginny, about his lie. He didnt know if it was a good thing or not, but right now he was pretty sure Emily was driving herself mad trying to sort everything out in her mind as she paced.
Emily, Harry said softly, trying to take hold of Emilys shoulder. Without much force, Emily stopped moving, and finally faced Harry, looking him in the eye, but just barely. Lets just bring the things into the house, and and maybe we can talk this through.
Without an argument, Emily nodded a little dazed. Opening the trunk, Harry took the two amps, while Emily went to get the guitars and together they went up to the house. Harry could tell that Emily was embarrassed, and he feared that he really had ruined their friendship. Memories of Cho filtered into his mind, and how things had gotten so awkward between them all those years ago. That was the last thing he wanted for Emily and he.
They entered the house, which was dark, though Harry could hear music filtering downstairs from the bedrooms above. Everyone was home, Harry was sure of it, and in the kitchen he could hear Georgia doing the dishes, as no one else in the house would do it. Setting their things down in the hall way, Emily looked unsurely at Harry.
Im sorry that that happened Emily, Harry finally said.
Me too, Emily agreed, looking away. I just got caught up in the moment, and I guess I sort of ruined things, didnt I? she asked, looking back at Harry.
Harry shrugged. Not if we can move past this. He suggested.
Emily nodded. I would like that.
Harry smiled, and ran his hand through his hair. I just wanted to make sure, though, Emily. Georgia told me you like me, liked me more then a friend, and I just want to make sure your okay with all of this. As you know, I had well I had a pretty serious thing going on back in England, and Im not really ready for anything like that right now. Harry paused, to see if Emily was all right. She seemed okay, if not still embarrassed. I just I just want to say one thing though.
What? Emily asked, her voice sounding a little shaky.
I think what you and Ted have is really good, and if you two maybe just got over some unresolved things, you could really make it. Take it from someone who knows, you shouldnt let someone who you love so much get away. Harry told her, and watched Emilys eyes widen.
Before Harry knew what was happening, before he saw Emilys hand fly up, all he could do was back away, but still Emilys hand collided with his cheek, and the bitter sting felt his entire body. Blinking, Harry raised his hand to his cheek, and stared at Emily incredulously. Her face was red with anger, and her aqua eyes burned into his own.
Dont you dare talk about Ted and I. You have no right to stand there and pretend to understand the relationship we have nor do you have any right to tell me what I should and shouldnt do. Ted and I are old news and and Emily seemed to loose her train of thought in her anger. I wish I had never kissed you, she spat, and swung around without a word and ran up the stairs.
Not really sure what had just happened, Harry stood still, his hand still where Emily had slapped him. He had watched as her feet disappeared in the darkness as she went upstairs, and at last slouching in confusion and defeat, Harry turned to go into the kitchen to get something to drink. But to his shock, and horror there stood Ted, holding a dish cloth.
Teddy Harry started to say, but Teddy simply threw him a dirty look and started up the stairs after Emily. Frozen, and completely at a loss of what to do Harry groaned loudly. As he did so the kitchen door swung open again and Georgia stepped out into the hall.
Whats going on? Why is your face red? Why was Emily yelling? Georgias questions shot out of her mouth, and Harry could hardly start to explain before she started ushering him into the kitchen and on to a chair at the kitchen table.
You two kissed! Georgia exclaimed when Harry finally managed to get through the whole story.
It was sort of an accident. Harry told her.
I cant believe this and then Ted heard about it. Holy crap, Harry, you really have some nerve to talk about Ted around Emily like that. Georgia said, shaking her head and sitting at the table.
What do you mean I have some nerve talking about Ted? Harry asked, bewildered, and a little annoyed that Georgia was being so frank with him and not giving him reasons.
Well, its just one thing you dont do. Emily has always been really sensitive about Ted, and what she did to him. She really hurt him, and she feels really guilty about it. I mean, I can understand why she was upset, but I still cant believe she actually slapped you. Georgia frowned, appearing to think hard.
I cant believe she slapped me. Harry replied, rubbing his cheek.
Georgia gave a small laughed, and leaned forward in her chair. Im just trying to think of a way to fix this. I mean, in a few days time Emily will get over it, probably apologize for acting so irrational, but I dont think Teddy will be so easy to win over. Not unless Emily manages to pull some kind of miracle on him.
So there isnt anything I can do? Harry checked.
Georgia shook her head. Not a thing. You just have to wait it out and see what happens. For all I know youll wake up tomorrow to find that the two are perfectly happy, and on good terms with. Pair a psychos, those two are.
Harry gave a short laugh, and then finally rose out of his chair. Well, Im exhausted; I should go get some shut eye as I have to open tomorrow.
Georgia nodded. Good night, she muttered as Harry turned and left. He mumbled his goodnight, and went through the swinging door and into the hall. Grabbing his guitar, Harry climbed the stairs slowly, Harry tried to sort everything out in his head, but it was so much to take.
As he reached his floor, he stopped hearing voices. Teddy and Emily were in the hall talking, or perhaps in Teddys room with door open. Why do they always have to be so careless? Harry thought begrudgingly, standing still on the steps.
It meant nothing, Ted. Emily was saying.
Then why did you do it? Teddy questioned.
Because I was caught in the moment my song was on the radio! Emily told him, excitedly.
Really, it was? Teddy asked, seeming to forget his apprehensiveness.
Yeah, Breathe was on. Emily explained.
Thats great Emily; really, I wish I was there with you. Teddy admitted.
I wish you were too. Emily whispered.
I still love you, came Teddys minute reply.
I know, Emily said slowly, and Harry heard someone move across the floorboards. I still love you too. Emily finally said.
Then be mine, Teddy almost pleaded.
I Emily fell silent, and without needing to know what was going on Harry secretly was jumping for joy. With a quiet slam Teddys door shut, and Harry quickly ran to his room, glad to be home free.
Sitting on the edge of his bed, he laid his guitar case on the floor, and pulled off his boots, and trousers. Pulling his shirt off from over his head, he lay down on the bed. Staring at the ceiling his mind filled with thoughts of Ginny, and the voice he had heard when he kissed Emily. It was hers, Ginnys voice filling his head. For some reason, in the pit of his stomach he felt that something had changed.
Pulling his guitar from its case, Harry lay back on his bed, and plucked a few of the strings, and fell into the same rifts he had already created. As if something had taken over him, Harry started writing a song. Mumbling it quietly as he played, Harry finally felt his full exhaustion and put his guitar away. Sliding the new lyrics into his bedside table, he took off his glasses, and got comfortable under his covers. Feeling accomplished, and happy that the next morning he would have his two friends back to normal, Harry fell asleep with ease.
A/N: This was by far one of my favourite chapters to write for this story so far. I must say, I love the drama. I hope you liked it, and the change of pace. A few readers predicted this, and I am sure they will be happy to see that their predictions came true. Thanks for reading, and please do review, as always!

The Wildcats will play the rest of 2013 without Mark.
Northwestern running back Venric Mark was expected to be one of the top playmakers in the Big Ten this season. Unfortunately for Mark, injuries have limited the standout running back to just three games and 31 carries. The senior has 97 rushing yards and five receptions for 48 yards.
On Monday, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald announced Mark would miss the rest of the 2013 with a broken ankle. Mark suffered the injury against Wisconsin and was unable to recover in time to return this year.
If there's any bright spot for Northwestern, it appears the senior will be able to get a medical redshirt and return in 2014. The Wildcats have been one of the nation's most disappointing teams in 2013 but having Mark return next season will help this team rebound in the Big Ten.

Alberta's doctors remain locked in an escalating battle with the province over a new contract, with both sides running advertisements against each other and no new talks scheduled.
Health Minister Fred Horne has now mused about going around the Alberta Medical Association entirely to negotiate directly with doctors and specialists; the AMA, in response, is rallying physicians behind it and openly threatening job action. "Everything's on the table," AMA president Michael Giuffre said in an interview.
Talks collapsed on Nov. 16, when Mr. Horne announced he'd simply impose a unilateral pay plan after 20 months of fruitless talks. His department then ran radio ads laying out their side of bargaining. The AMA responded with newspaper ads this week, saying the government "misled" doctors by offering them an interim deal just before the spring election, and that there's a "difference between intimidation and leadership."
The standoff escalated again Wednesday when Premier Alison Redford waded into the fray, saying it was the AMA that reneged on the interim deal and it's her job "to represent the interests of Albertans. It's the AMA's job to represent the interests of doctors."
Dr. Giuffre said it was government that backed away, and he was caught off guard by Ms. Redford's claim. "I'm surprised," he said. "Now it sounds like they're trying to pull a fast one."
There are several issues at the centre of the debate, Dr. Giuffre said, including physician intimidation, the ongoing reorganization of the health system and plans to review certain fees and do away with some programs designed to retain doctors. The Canadian Institute for Health Information says Alberta's doctors are Canada's best-paid, but Dr. Giuffre said they also have much higher overhead for staff and office space in the booming province.
"When you take into account these things, we're not out of line," he said. "… I think the government would really like to make this unfair negotiation just about money."
That's what Mr. Horne has tried to do, saying the AMA just wants more money, which he can't provide. He said it's up to doctors to return to the table.
"I'll continue to wait and be hopeful," he said Wednesday, dismissing threats of job action. "I don't believe that they would want to harm or restrict access to care in any way, and I will always have faith in that."
Dr. Giuffre has some political allies – in opposition. Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said "doctors have every reason to feel betrayed by this government." Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, a physician, has said overcrowding, inefficiency and poor patient care matter more to doctors than money. New Democrat Leader Brian Mason urged the sides to sit down with binding arbitration.
It's more than money that has physicians upset, said Jane Ruseski, a health economist at the University of Alberta. "Do they have much to complain about in terms of how much they're paid? Probably not. But it's more of an issue with how the process has unfolded," she said, later agreeing that arbitration or mediation could solve the impasse.
"Each side is now posturing, running ads against one another. That's not particularly healthy for the health-care system. So somebody that can come in there with a level head and see the pros and cons of either situation, would probably be needed," she said.
Doctors from across the province are scheduled to meet Dec. 15.
Mr. Horne's unilateral deal included a one-time bonus and cost-of-living adjustments for the next three years. The interim deal signed before the election gave physicians a raise of inflation plus 1 per cent, Dr. Giuffre said. Physician pay totals $3.4-billion in Alberta, one-fifth of the entire health budget.Report Typo/Error

This may be due to an excessive amount of water being run into the disposer during product use. Inform the customer to reduce to a steady stream during use.
The blue foam is heavily seeping out of the non-disposer
side of my sink OR the blue foam is heavily seeping out of the disposer side of
my sink.
The pressure of the water system is determined by how many water applications may be running at one time. For example, if the shower and the hose are running while using Glisten Disposer Care, the foam may decrease on one side of the sink. The water pressure that is allowed through the cycle of the home or building can directly impact the amount of foam that will be present.
The Glisten Disposer Care within the package was compacted
together and very solid.
If powder is clumped within the package, knead the package with their fingers to break up the contents within the package.

Elder Abuse
Elder abuse can be physical abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, or financial abuse. These are crimes committed against victims who are age 65 or older. In Washington County there is a collaborative multidisciplinary team working to educate the community about elder abuse and to provide comprehensive services to victims of elder abuse and their families.
To report Elder Abuse or Neglect, call 971-673-5200 and ask for Adult Protective Services. Your name will be held in confidence. If someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
Elder Abuse Multidisciplinary Team
Washington County's Elder Abuse Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) was formalized in 2000. The team consists of members from the District Attorney's Office, the Oregon Department of Human Services, Washington County Mental Health, the county's Department of Aging and Veterans' Services, every law enforcement agency in the county, private lawyers, representatives from the Elder Safe program, and other community-based service programs. For the past 15 years, the team has collaborated on many levels, bringing coordinated services to individuals and working to better the response of the entire county to these very important cases.
District Attorney's Office Specialized Elder Abuse Prosecution Team
The Washington County District Attorney's Office has an Elder Abuse prosecution team. Five prosecutors are specially trained to handle all cases where a vulnerable adult is victimized. Most of those vulnerable adults are people 65 and older. The prosecutors and the victim advocate assigned to the cases are specially trained in areas including financial abuse, other fiduciary abuse, physical abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse. They are trained and experienced regarding the sensitive dynamic of a victim who may be reluctant to report or speak about abuse.
Examples of Elder Abuse Prosecutions in Washington County
The Elder Abuse cases prosecuted by the Washington County DA's office are extremely diverse. The cases range from simple theft, to complex physical and sexual abuse cases, to abuses of fiduciary duty and abuses of Power of Attorney. Perpetrators are often family members but can also be complete strangers. Often time, the victim in an Elder Abuse case is reluctant to report their abuse for a myriad of very understandable reasons.
Community Education and Involvement
Our team has spoken to many groups about elder abuse prosecution. The groups include the Washington County Domestic Violence Council, CPAs, police officers, other attorneys, Adult Protective Service workers, social workers and more. We have also participated in the legislative process in support of changes that benefit the protection of our vulnerable adults. See a list of our community presentations here.
Elder Safe
Elder Safe helps victims aged 65 and older after a crime is reported to police and continues to help them through the criminal justice system. Based at the Sheriff's Office, Elder Safe collaborates with the District Attorney's Office and the Department of Disability, Aging and Veterans' Services and city police departments to coordinate services. Older crime victims may have disabilities that make it difficult for them to read legal documents or to travel independently to the courthouse. Elder Safe assures that the needs of victims and their families are met. Assistance tailored to the unique circumstance of each victim may include personal support, court advocacy, or help filling out forms.

Hey Marconi - Can You Hear Me Now?
Today, Dec. 12 1901, Guglielmo Marconi sent the first Atlantic wireless transmission. His message, which was the Morse-code signal for the letter "s", traveled more than 2,000 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, to Newfoundland, Canada.
The transatlantic transmission won him worldwide fame. Ironically, critics of his project were correct when they said that radio waves would not follow the curvature of the earth, as Marconi believed. What really happened was that the transatlantic radio signal had been headed into space when it was reflected off the ionosphere and bounced back down toward Canada. Of course this was the start of something big!
Marconi continued to make major advances in this field of study. On the day of his funeral, in 1937, all of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stations were silent for two minutes. It was a fitting tribute to Marconi's contributions to the development of radio.
Think of him today when you are listening to the car radio or adjusting your BlueTooth headset. Can you imagine what he'd say if he saw what communication is like now?

A Senate substitute for a constitutional amendment that seeks to affirm the "right of farmers and ranchers to engage in agricultural production and ranching practices" passed last week, sending the bill back to the House, where some members have already voiced concerns about the current legislation's language.
The substitute, sponsored by Sen. Mike Parson, R-Bolivar, changed the initial language of the House Joint Resolution, which said only legislators could make changes to state law regarding agriculture practices. The substitute removed that language, allowing for agriculture groups to pursue petition initiative processes, something that miffed rural lawmakers, but Parson said was a necessary compromise.
"Truth of the matter is, sometimes it's better to get something done rather than nothing," he added. "And this really is such an important issue to the state, so we have to do something."
Rep. Jason Smith, R-Salem, a cosponsor for the bill, has been a strong advocate for what the bill seeks to accomplish for years, he said, and this is the furthest in the process the legislation has made it.
"We are [part] of continuing negotiations over what our next steps may be, whether we truly agree the bill, or go to conference, there are five weeks of session left," Smith said. "I am confident we will put something on the ballot to protect Missouri's family farmers."
Parson said he has always been interested in the prospect of this legislation, coming from a strong farming background himself, but after Proposition B a few years ago, he said he thought the need for "right to farm" has grown because the "attack on agriculture is going to continue."
"Agriculture in the state of Missouri is the number one industry," he continued. "It's more than an industry, it's a way of life. A life that's been handed down from generation to generation, and I want to preserve that. I think the people of Missouri will agree."
Proposition B, an initiative petition that passed during 2010, dealt with dog breeding regulations. During the latter part of the campaign, there was a high influx of out-of-state money from organizations including the Humane Society of the United States, which campaigned for the passage of the initiative. Ultimately, it was the out-of-state money that legislators like Parson attribute to Proposition B's passing.
"It's not the people in Missouri that attack what we do with agriculture," Parson said. "It's the people outside of the state that have a lot of money. I think it's time for us to put this in front of the people of Missouri and let them decide.
Parson said there are several types of attack on agriculture, and possible ways in which initiative petitions could seek to regulate processes farmers and ranchers across the state use. Parson provided a few examples of what these "attacks" would include, such as limiting the number of animals on a farm or in a pen.
"I don't want someone to tell me or my colleagues or friends at home how to farm," Parson said. "I think the farming industry as a whole has done everything to improve their operations during the last decade with technology, research and genetics. Those agriculture people, the farmers and ranchers, understand the importance of the land, the importance of the crops and the importance of the livestock."
Blake Hurst, President of the Missouri Farm Bureau, said the "right to farm" legislation has been a big priority of the Bureau this session, however, he said the organization doesn't think the current language is adequate.
"We think agriculture has become a target of interest groups who would like to control what we can and can't do as far as production practices," Hurst added.
He shared Parson's concern about out-of-state money potentially "swinging the vote like it did with Prop. B," but said the Bureau will continue to do what they've been doing all along: lobbying and reaching out to their members.
Hurst said Bureau members will continue to examine the language of the current bill, but hope that the conference committee will produce "much stronger" legislation.

Public lands chief seeks second term
Charlie Bermant/Peninsula Daily News
Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark speaks during a campaign stop at The Upstage in Port Townsend on Wednesday night.

"What's unique here is all the restrictions on timber harvest brought about by the [federal] Endangered Species Act," Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark told about 30 people at a campaign appearance Wednesday night at the Upstage Bistro in Port Townsend.
"There are a lot of issues around the spotted owl and the marbled murrelet in combination with the effect that it has on timber harvest, particularly in the Olympic Experimental State Forest," he said.
"This isn't common [in other regions]."
Otherwise, the Peninsula has the same public land issues as the rest of the state, including conversion of lands between private and public, and the management of aquatic lands, Goldmark said.
Goldmark, a Democrat, is opposed in the Nov. 6 general election by Eastern Washington rancher and former football player Clint Didier, a Republican who ran against Sen. Patty Murray in 2010 but who was defeated in the primary by Dino Rossi.
Ballots for the all-mail election will be mailed out Oct. 17 and must be returned by the date of the general election.
Goldmark, 66, a rancher from Okanogan County, is seeking his second four-year term as public lands commissioner. He is in charge of the state Department of Natural Resources.
Goldmark said his job "is the least-understood of all the executive positions in state government," adding that the agency manages 15 million acres of land throughout the state, including 3 million acres of uplands and 2.6 million acres of state-owned aquatic lands.
This includes the management of how roads are built on the public lands and controlling the timber harvests in regard to forest and fish law.
Fire department
The agency also supervises what Goldmark calls "the largest on-call fire department in the state.
"Right now, we have our hands full," he said, adding that 240,000 acres of forests have been leveled by fire this summer.
Goldmark's idea for the disposal of biomass material is an alternative to those operations proposed in Port Townsend and Port Angeles.
"Biomass is forest waste material that is often left in large piles for them to decompose or burn off naturally, but this can cause air hazards," he said.
"I am hopeful that with the help of our two large research universities, we can develop a process to deal with the materials without needing to move them.
"We could bring out a truck that could convert the material to wood oil, which could then be taken to a central facility for distribution or used as a catalyst to develop high-value fuels.
"This would provide a new revenue stream for the department and create jobs from something that is now a waste."
Derelict vessels
Goldmark said he favored stricter laws for the disposal of derelict vessels — those that would make the vessel's owner responsible for this action.
Goldmark said he would like to avoid a repeat of the excavation of the Deep Sea, a vessel that was disabled off of Whidbey Island in June that cost the state about $2 million to clean up.
"The license fees that recreational boaters pay is added to the cleanup fund but isn't enough when a large vessel is involved," he said.
"In the case of the Deep Sea, the owner wasn't being responsive to the vessel and mismanaged the situation. He didn't have the funds to raise it, so the public got stuck with the tab.
"There is something inherently wrong with that."
The county Democratic Party made a $1,000 contribution to Goldmark's campaign.
The amount raised from attendees was not immediately available.

text: Intel will launch a 1GHz Pentium III processor on Wednesday, a source close to the company said today, two days after arch-rival AMD released an Athlon processor running at the same speed. IBM, HP and Dell are expected to be among the first PC makers to offer systems with the high-speed Intel chip. Intel demonstrated 1GHz Pentium III desktop PCs from those vendors at a conference for developers in Palm Springs, California, last month. Both Intel and AMD have accelerated their launch plans in recent weeks in a bid to be first out of the gate with a 1GHz product. Because of the hurried releases, the high-speed chips are expected to be in relatively short supply for the next few weeks, both companies have said. AMD said its fastest processor will be available initially only from Gateway and Compaq. Gateway is ready to ship its Select 1000 model today, a company spokesman said. Compaq will take orders for its 1GHz Athlon-powered Presario 5900Z PC Thursday and expects to ship the system to customers two to three weeks later, a Compaq sales representative said today. Intel spokesman George Alfs confirmed today that Intel plans to release a 1GHz Pentium III "very soon," but declined to be more precise as to specific timing. The same day that the processor is released, Intel hopes also to have at least one PC maker shipping 1GHz Pentium III systems, he added. Round three tomorrow.
