hi guys,
please help me out
2. Re: isolated environment on OVMWadhahDaouehi Jul 8, 2013 9:46 AM (in response to machete)
To create a separate network, so by using a separate network interfaces or by using vlans. in your case you want to use vlan to test the performance.
this document can help you to configure your vlan, url.
I hope this can help you
Best regards
3. Re: isolated environment on OVMmachete Jul 8, 2013 11:47 AM (in response to WadhahDaouehi)
Thanks, but i think there is some gap between us.I asked that I was facing problems while creating an isolated environment using a separate switch where the vm's hosted for performance testing will be connected.We are having 4 interfaces on each machine ( first is used for physical management, 2nd&3rd for allowing the vlan traffic and 4th for multicast).
The thing which I wanted to do is that take nic2 and nic3 from core switch and connect them to a separate isolated switch so that they don't communicate with other vlans. But trying this gave me a error on OVM so i was unable to do the job.
Meanwhile im going through the url which you gave, see if you can help me in finishing this task.
4. Re: isolated environment on OVMWadhahDaouehi Jul 10, 2013 9:29 AM (in response to machete)
To configure the Virtual Machines Network with a separate vlan, the first step is to creat a new VLAN Group.
- Networking -> VLAN Groups -> add: Create a new and also you can create one or many VLAN ID (segments) if you wish.
The second step is create a new network (to affect the Virtual Machine Network)
- Networking -> Networks -> add: Then select the Virtual Mahines in the Network channels, and affect the VLAN ID or a segment to the VMs Network.
finally, your Virtual Machines has a separate VLAN Network (isolated).
if you want to grouped you both nic (nic1 and nic2), you can create a bonding for both to take advantage of fault tolerance.
I hope this can help you
Best Regards

Chris Brown has disavowed his post-Grammy Twitter rant, claiming that he doesn't write his Tweets. RadarOnline talked to a source close to the artist who says, ""Brown didn't Tweet that, someone does his postings to Twitter and when he saw that he ordered it taken down immediately." But another source says Brown's mother is irate over her son's behavior, telling RadarOnline, "She isn't buying his excuse that he didn't post it and she has told him that it is his Twitter page, and only he should be posting to it, period."
Brown's mother, a survivor of domestic abuse herself, has stood firmly by his side since he pled guilty to felony assault charges against Rihanna in 2009.
In related news, TMZ reveals that Chris Brown attended Rihanna's birthday party in Beverly Hills on Monday night and was so paranoid about word getting out that he tried to force partygoers to sign confidentiality agreements. Could a reconciliation be around the corner?

Bedding - Poem by Glen Martin Fitch
If I could be your blanket
I'd hug you through the night
To keep you safe and warm.
Say, would it be alright?
Please let me be the pillow
Where you rest your drowsy head.
I'll kiss behind your ears.
I'll catch the tears you shed.
I want to breathe as you breathe
I want to turn as your turn
Let me linger close beside you
For your touch I yearn.
And let me be the sheets
Around you all night long.
Rub your thighs against me.
Oh, how could that be wrong?
But I'll be cold and rough,
If you let another in your bed.
That you might love another
Is the only thing I dread.
I want to breathe as you breathe
I want to turn as your turn.
Let me linger close beside you.
For your touch I yearn.

Apparently that portion of the press conference where Chinese president Hu Jintao was asked about human rights issues was blacked out in the state-run China media. Damian Grammaticas, the Beijing correspondent of BBC News, says smugly, "Just hearing a Chinese president deal with direct questions on human rights is incredibly rare. In China the heavily state-controlled media doesn't pose them"
But when have you heard anyone in the major US media ask Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton at a press conference how the US can lecture other countries on human rights when it is itself a serious serial violator?
The point is that the filters in the media that weed out independent thinkers works so well that it would never occur to almost all those who rise to the level of being allowed into these press conferences to pose such a question. Any journalist who had the temerity to do so would be frozen out by the government (and even his or her colleagues) and never be called upon again and would have to be replaced by his organization. This would be a bad career move and journalists likely realize this, at least at a gut level.
This is why the US does not have to be so crude as China and censor broadcasts. The media does it itself perfectly well.

SOUTH FLORIDA - Labor Day Weekend has traditionally marked the end of summer with tourists and local residents flocking to nearby pools and beaches.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue encourages all residents to consider the following safety tips:
Always wear your seatbelt, and make sure that all passengers do so as well. All infants and small children should be restrained in approved child safety seats.
Try to do most driving during daylight hours. Motorists driving under the influence are usually on the road after 9:00 p.m.
If your vehicle stalls on the freeway, do your best to pull over onto the shoulder, well out of traffic lanes. Call for help, and do not attempt to repair it yourself on the freeway.
Always designate a safe driver that will not be drinking alcohol.
- Never leave children unattended. Drowning incidents in residential swimming pools are significantly higher involving children between the ages of one and four.
- Swim in areas supervised by a lifeguard.
- Read and obey all rules and posted signs.
- Use the grill at least 10 feet away from the house or any other structures.
- Keep children away from the grill, and never leave the grill unattended.
- Never use gasoline or kerosene to light a charcoal fire.
- Do not pour lighter fluid on hot charcoal. This is the leading cause of grill-related burns.
Never light a grill on the balcony of an apartment; it is illegal and extremely dangerous for all building occupants.
- The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim, especially anyone participating in boating activities.
- Alcohol and boating don't mix. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance, and coordination, all of which are necessary for safe boating, especially for the vessel operator.
- Before leaving shore, ensure that the vessel is in good working condition and all safety equipment is on board and operational, including at least one Coast Guard-approved life jacket for every passenger on the boat.
- Prior to any boat excursion, give a responsible person details about where you will be and how long you will be gone. In the event of an emergency, this information could be the key to finding you and bringing help to your location.
- Drink plenty of cool fluids throughout the day, but avoid those that contain caffeine, alcohol or a high sugar content since they actually contribute to dehydration and make a heat-related illness worse.
- Stay indoors in an air-conditioned place, and limit your outdoor activities to the early morning or evening hours, avoiding the mid-day sun.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
- Check frequently on the elderly, young children and others at higher risk for heat-related illnesses.
- And don't forget your animals. Keep them in an air-conditioned area if possible and provide plenty of fresh water.
In addition to keeping roadway safer, authorities said the Broward Sheriff's Office Highway Unit and D.U.I. Task Force deputies will be out in force over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
BSO deputies and commercial vehicle enforcement units converged Friday afternoon on U. S. Highway 27 and I-75 in western Broward conducting traffic enforcement.
The BSO DUI Task Force will assist the Hollywood Police Department with a DUI checkpoint from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Saturday in the 1200 block of North Federal Highway in that city.
On Sunday, deputies said a countywide DUI saturation patrol utilizing district deputies and the BSO DUI Task Force will run from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday.
The holiday traffic enforcement period will officially run from 6 p.m. Friday through 11:59 p.m. Monday. The National Safety Council predicted that 394 traffic fatalities and 42,200 injuries requiring medical treatment will occur in the U.S. during this period.
Deputies said they will be enforcing moving violations, speeding, aggressive/reckless driving, move over law violators and intoxicated/impaired drivers.

Gifted children, like other children with special needs, often find homeschooling to be the best way to learn and grow. However, giftedness can pose challenges. Luckily, parents of gifted children were among the earliest proponents of homeschooling, and there are lots of well-developed resources. Here is a selection of the best.
Gifted Homeschoolers Forum
The Gifted Homeschoolers Forum is the single best place on the web for learning about homeschooling gifted children. It includes a massive library of articles about defining giftedness, learning styles and needs, testing, teens and college, living with gifted children, and twice-exceptional (2E) issues, along with book reviews and a directory of local support lists and social media support groups. There is also a Yahoo group affiliated with GHF.
Hogie's Gifted Information Page
The Hoagies Gifted Education website, which was the web's first major gifted support website, has a large section devoted to homeschooling.
Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG)
SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) has an extensive collection of articles focused on the social and emotional lives of gifted children, an often-neglected but important subject.
Homeschooling Taglets
A moderate-volume support list, this national/international list has a tight focus on homeschooling resources and support.
TAGMAX was one of the first Internet support lists for gifted homeschoolers. It is still active and can be a valuable resource for new homeschoolers of gifted children. However, the volume of mail associated with the list can be daunting.
Eide Neurolearning Blog
Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide's blog, devoted to brain-based learning research, frequently discusses research on twice-exceptional children (both gifted and learning disabled). The Eides have a particular interest in gifted dyslexics and have written extremely useful books on dyslexia and on diagnosing and remediating learning difficulties.
DC Metro Gifted Homeschooling
This secular, inclusive group is for parents home schooling gifted kids in the Washington, DC metropolitan region.
A networking group for gifted homeschoolers, mainly in the Reston/Herndon/Loudoun County area.

'Je refuse!' French President Francois Hollande declines to answer questions about affair
FRENCH president Francois Hollande refused to discuss allegations of an affair today at his annual New Year press conference.
Private affairs are dealt with in private, with due respect to all parties.
Last week French magazine Closer printed photographs it said proved President Hollande was having an affair with actress Julie Gayet.
Today, President Hollande was asked directly if his partner Valerie Trierweiler was still the First Lady of France.
He replied: "I understand your question. And I am sure you will understand my answer.
"Everyone can go through hardships. That is the case.
"But I have one principal. Private affairs are dealt with in private, with due respect to all parties.
"Therefore this is not the place to go into this."
President Hollande added he would give more details about his personal life before a planned trip to Washington to visit President Obama next month.
Ms Trierweiler was admitted to hospital on Friday - just days after the allegations involving her partner were printed.
Opinion polls already suggest he is the most unpopular president in a generation - one on Thursday indicated that only 25 per cent of French people trusted him.

THE HON BRENDAN O'CONNOR MP MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS AND JUSTICE MEDIA RELEASE Monday, 13 June 2011
Austal announced as Cape Class patrol boat preferred tenderer
Minister for Home Affairs, Brendan O'Connor, today announced the preferred tenderer to build the next generation of patrol boats to secure Australia's borders. Austal, an awardâwinning Australianâowned ship manufacturer, is the preferred tenderer for the $350 million contract to build and support eight new Customs and Border Protection vessels. "Protecting Australia's borders from threats of terrorism, people smuggling and organised crime, including the trafficking of illicit goods and illegal foreign fishing, is a major priority for the Government," Minister O'Connor said. "The purchase of eight new Cape Class Patrol Boats is an investment in Australia's longâterm security. "It will significantly bolster Customs and Border Protection's capability to detect and respond to illegal activity in Australian waters. The new vessels will better support our dedicated Customs and Border Protection officers to more readily carry out their important work." The Cape Class Patrol Boats Project calls for the new vessels to have significantly enhanced surveillance and response capability and the ability to travel greater distances than the current Bay Class vessels. Austal has a long history with Customs and Border Protection having produced the current eight Customs and Border Protection Bay Class vessels, as well as the current Royal Australian Navy fleet of 14 Armidale Class Patrol Boats. "This is an important job retention and job creation opportunity for the Australian shipbuilding industry." "The tender process was highly competitive showcasing the professional capability and substantial experience of the Australian shipbuilding industry," Minister O'Connor said. "I wish to recognise the professional contribution of all the companies involved in the tender process, in particular Forgacs, who provided a strong bid into the parallel negotiations stage."
The eight new vessels will be named after geographical capes in each Australian State and Territory and reflect Australia's geographic extremities: Cape St George (ACT), Cape Byron (NSW), Cape Nelson (Victoria), Cape Sorell (Tasmania), Cape Jervis (SA), Cape Leveque (WA), Cape Wessel (NT) and Cape York (Queensland).

My beautiful, talented, and truly inspirational friend Isabel's movie is on Lifetime Movie Network this week so excuse me if I gush a little. I'm just so proud of her accomplishments. Check it out if you love cabaret, standards, or a sweet love story.
Oh and fabulous costumes.
I visited her on the set the day they were shooting the girls peeking in on Eartha Kitt's set. Everyone came that day, even the actors who weren't needed on set; Eartha is just that hot. Cameron, who played Greg, was there, carrying his new baby boy, so cute. And of course we were all in awe of the amazing Miss Kitt meowing her stuff on the stage.
I was with Isabel in the makeshift dressing room. Her costumers, on an independent film budget, pulled together all vintage pieces, all the time. Every outfit is a one of a kind and a perfect fit for Miss Is.
Oh did I mention she kisses former brat-packer Andrew McCarthy? Of Pretty in Pink fame, who didn't want to kiss him in 1986? We had a little giggle about that (and yeah, he's a good kisser).
When you see this movie you see a woman, Isabel, who wouldn't take, "No, you can't" for an answer. Who had a dream and literally made it happen. One of the many reasons she inspires me every day.
She makes it happen. She makes her LIFE happen. With grace.
That's my girl.

We are just about on Samsung Galaxy overload here, and while we are looking forward to finding out the official pricing — here are a few other remaining bits of information. Some of these are good and some are not so good. Either way, they are what they are.
- Samsung will release a Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Tab and similar to the carrier announcements, this model is also "coming soon." In terms of pricing, nothing yet, though given this is also going to be subsidized with the carriers, expect to pay a decent sum for the privilege of having no contract.
- The Sprint branded version is not going to be like the Epic 4G. In other words, no 4G capable Galaxy Tab is coming. Instead the Sprint Galaxy Tab will be just like the other carrier models — with 3G.
- The US version of the Galaxy Tab is not going to have any voice support and while that is slightly disappointing at least we will not have to worry about seeing anyone with the 7-inch Galaxy Tab held up to their head chatting.
With that, we are still waiting for carrier pricing. Anyone ready to make a purchase?

Race to Running Software
Get something real up and running quickly
Running software is the best way to build momentum, rally your team, and flush out ideas that don't work. It should be your number one priority from day one.
It's ok to do less, skip details, and take shortcuts in your process if it'll lead to running software faster. Once you're there, you'll be rewarded with a significantly more accurate perspective on how to proceed. Stories, wireframes, even html mockups, are just approximations. Running software is real.
With real, running software everyone gets closer to true understanding and agreement. You avoid heated arguments over sketches and paragraphs that wind up turning out not to matter anyway. You realize that parts you thought were trivial are actually quite crucial.
Real things lead to real reactions. And that's how you get to the truth.
The Real Thing Leads to Agreement
When a group of different people set out to try and find out what is harmonious...their opinions about it will tend to converge if they are mocking up full-scale, real stuff. Of course, if they're making sketches or throwing out ideas, they won't agree. But, if you start making the real thing, one tends to reach agreement.—Christopher Alexander, Professor of Architecture
(from Contrasting Concepts of Harmony in Architecture)
Get It Working ASAP
I do not think I've ever been involved with a software project — large or small — that was successful in terms of schedule, cost, or functionality that started with a long period of planning and discussion and no concurrent development. It is simply too easy, and sometimes fun, to waste valuable time inventing features that turn out to be unnecessary or unimplementable.
This applies at all levels of development and "get something real up and running" is a fractal mantra. It doesn't just apply to the project as a whole, it is at least equally applicable to the smaller-scale development of components from which the application is built.
When there is a working implementation of a key component available, developers want to understand how it will or won't work with their piece of the application and will generally try to use it as soon as they can. Even if the implementation isn't perfect or complete at first, this early collaboration usually leads to well-defined interfaces and features that do exactly what they need to.—Matt Hamer, developer and product manager, Kinja

(info: above listed directory structure as basd on Fedora Core 5 Distro ) as in my case i am just running locally on my test machine so I dont have any DNS or real domain set up as yet. mybe you are on to something though and I need to change my configuration as you would obviously know better as to how it should work but when I try to launch html ussing http://<myhostname>www.example.com/web/index.html it works fine and php launches fine when php is set up global but the per site setup still does not work, the good thing about php not working is that I am learning allot about the ins and outs of IspConfig : ) but any assistance is most welcome.

Pyschiatric Hospitals to Get NIS 150m Upgrade
The plan was initiated following a Haaretz expose in August on inadequate conditions at the facilities and on pressure from local authorities and developers to limit the hospitals' growth.
Israel's psychiatric hospitals will be upgraded as part of a NIS 150 million three-year plan developed by the Health Ministry. The ministry's director general, Ronni Gamzu, initiated the plan following a Haaretz expose in August on inadequate conditions at the facilities and on pressure from local authorities and developers to limit the hospitals' growth.
The Eitanim Psychiatric Hospital outside of Jerusalem will undergo an extensive NIS 30 million face-lift after photos of the inadequate facilities appeared in Haaretz. This included pictures (in the newspaper's Hebrew edition ) of mattresses in the facility's hallways where patients had to sleep. Over the summer, Eitanim employees also complained that patients from closed wards had to sleep in the hospital dining room due to a shortage in space.
Another planned renovation project involves a NIS 15 million upgrade to the Be'er Yaakov-Nes Tziona Mental Health Center; the ministry is hoping this will be approved by local authorities despite a real estate development project slated for an adjoining plot of land.
The Health Ministry's initiative also calls for the thorough renovation of the Abarbanel Mental Health Center in Bat Yam, following a shift in position on the part of the local municipality, which in principle now supports the improvements. This plan calls for the facilities for youth and autistic patients - which accommodated 60 patients in old buildings - to be demolished and replaced by new structures, including a hostel, at an estimated cost of NIS 40 million.
At the psychiatric hospital in Be'er Sheva, a new 30-bed facility for youth is planned. The project, which is expected to cost around NIS 13 million, will also feature a school to be run by the Education Ministry.
Substandard conditions at the Mazra Psychiatric Hospital in Acre still remain unresolved, however. Hearings were held this week at the Knesset at the initiative of MK Rachel Adatto (Kadima ), who is a physician, in an effort to address the conditions at this facility - which include 12 to 14 patients being assigned to one patient room.
The Acre municipality has refrained from issuing building permits at the site because city officials hope to relocate the facility, which is currently situated on a plot near the sea that is attractive for real estate development.
At this week's meeting, it was agreed that alternative locations for the hospital would be explored and in the interim, the Health Ministry would allocate NIS 16 million for interior renovations that do not require a building permit.
Annually, 4,300 new patients are admitted to psychiatric hospitals in Israel and 16,700 previously admitted patients return to these facilities.

BLS on tday

Land Granted for Catholic Hospital, University in Iraq
A regional Iraqi government has gifted the land needed for the construction of a Catholic hospital and university in Erbil, northern Iraq.
The approval, granted Monday, was a critical phase for the building projects which have been labeled as "symbols of hope for the Christian presence" by Archbishop Bashar Warda.
"We do not want Christians to leave Iraq," Warda told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need on Tuesday. "It is clear that our society here needs schools, universities and hospitals and this provides us with an opportunity to encourage the Christians to build a future for themselves here."
The hospital, which is to provide 100 beds, eight operating rooms and a medical wing, will be built on an 86,111 square foot land, while a 322,917 square foot site has been allocated for the university.
Warda said the primary aim was to create jobs, as well as other opportunities for local Christians.
An estimated 334,000 Christians remain in Iraq, less than half of their number in 1991, according to Open Doors, a ministry supporting persecuted believers around the world.
The violence and discrimination against Christians, motivated by religious, political, financial and social reasons, have forced hundreds of thousands to flee the Muslim nation.
Last year, 58 Christians were killed and at least 60 injured in a terrorist attack against the Syrian Catholic Church in Baghdad at the end of October.
Archbishop Warda expressed hope that the two institutions would open within the next few years but added that a fundraising campaign would be necessary before the building work could begin.

Secret agreement impacts Bertuzzi-Moore suit
The Superior Court of Ontario has given lawyers defending Todd Bertuzzi, Marc Crawford and the former owners of the Vancouver Canucks seven days to produce a secret agreement they signed that essentially absolves each of them of blame and counter-suits in the multi-million dollar civil claim by former hockey player Steve Moore.
Master Ronald Dash has ordered Bertuzzi, Crawford and Orca Bay Hockey Ltd., to turn over the agreement signed by all principles in July, 2011, that was negotiated and agreed upon without informing Moore's counsel, Tim Dansen.
A copy of the agreement is to be sent to the court, and another to Dansen, but the agreement between the three parties will not be made public for reasons not explained in Thursday's decision.
Dansen had brought the matter to court in a motion last month, after accidentally learning that the secret agreement had been reached.
Dansen found this out, according to court documents, only after sending Crawford's attorney a letter. Crawford's attorney responding by informing Dansen he was no longer part of the case because Crawford was no longer involved.
In the signed agreement, which Dash called "circumspect," the three parties being sued by Moore and his parents, Steve and Anna Moore, all dropped counter-claims against each other. In other words, Bertuzzi agreed to drop his suit against his former coach Crawford and against the former owners of the Canucks, and each agreed to drop suits against the current Detroit Red Wings winger. A deal of some kind was made: What can't be determined here and won't be made public is what kind of settlement was made by all parties in this matter, and Dash didn't like how that might affect the upcoming case.
"In my view, the agreement has changed the landscape of the litigation," Dash wrote in his ruling. Dash also seemed unhappy that the defendants in the case "refused or neglected" to inform Moore's lawyer, Dansen, on the change in status.
The Moore-Bertuzzi matter, dating back to the high-profile career-ending injury of the former Colorado Avalanche player in 2004, finally will get to court in the fall. The case, which is certain to feature testimony from Leafs general manager Brian Burke, his assistant Dave Nonis and numerous other hockey luminaries, is set to begin on Sept. 24, unless Bertuzzi isn't playing in the NHL next season. If he happens to retire and not get a new contract, which is unlikely, the trial would then begin on Oct. 12.

Windows Ultimate x64
My ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard will not boot with my Radeon HD 6790
Hello all,
Looking for some advice on how to get my graphics card to work in my new(ly built) computer. I have recently upgraded to an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard and i5 chip with 16gb of G.SKILL Ripjaws RAM with a fresh win7 install. For some reason my computer will not start (even to the bios) with that video card in. I have tried it in another computer, no problem. I have installed the drivers from the disc (while the card was out), no change.
This mobo has an interesting bios i wonder if there is some setting that needs adjusting.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Mad as hell doctors
(Great diary!! – promoted by RDemocrat)
I ran across this web page at one of the forums I frequent and I gotta ask, when were we going to hear about it?
I know there are several groups in Kentucky claiming to be for single payer health care and I've contacted them so I know they have my e-mail address, why did I just find out this caravan was going to be in Louisville on the 22nd?
Someone seems to be dropping the ball. we need people there, a lot of people there. We need to be getting the word out. Go to their web site watch the video, It's long but worth it. They tell it like it is and even made me change some thinking on things such as tort reform.
I don't believe tort reform will cure eveything but I can see where with single payer there will be no need because the medical liability will be taken over by the government. They will pay for whatever it takes.
Check them out and see what you think.
On September 8, 2009 a group of dedicated Oregon physicians will take the message of Universal Health Care "on the road" in a wrapped and branded Motor Home headed for Washington D.C. Our cross-country mission: to stop in big cities and whistle stops alike, conducting pre-booked, local and national media appearances for a curious press. Every move we make along the way will be recorded on camera and then edited and uploaded to the internet that same day. This will allow our Mad As Hell Doctors Tour to leverage the edited video segments on social networking web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, et al. In this way, our effort becomes an unprecedented hybrid of reality television and political activism that offers people the opportunity to follow us, in real time, as our story unfolds.

2012-03-09 18:23:27 by Theresa Attalla, PR Intern, as posted on the inside.akronchildrens.org blog.
Children with mental health issues won't have to travel far to receive care, thanks to a grant from the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation in Hudson. The foundation recently awarded Akron Children's a $463,593 grant to create a new telehealth program.
With a shortage of pediatric behavioral health specialists, patients often need to travel long distances, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Now, patients at Akron Children's will have the option to go to their local pediatrician's office and see their behavioral health specialist through a secure, high-definition video conference.
"We are excited to be developing this new program which, when fully implemented, will give our patients new options for getting care in a more convenient way," said Stephen Cosby, MD, director of the division of Pediatric Psychiatry and Psychology at Akron Children's Hospital.
"In many cases, transportation issues and the stigma that is sometimes associated with behavioral health concerns are barriers to receiving treatment. Now, patients will be able to receive care in a familiar environment: their pediatrician's office," he added.
According to the American Telemedicine Association, research has shown that patients can be reliably assessed, diagnosed, and treated with medicine and psychotherapy in outpatient clinics using video conferencing.
Telehealth services have been shown to improve collaboration between healthcare professionals in different locations. Patients surveyed say they felt that the communication between their physicians had improved their outcomes.
Akron Children's has created a telehealth project team to oversee the pilot, which will be developed according to national guidelines.
The pilot is also the first major project of the new Center for Telehealth Service Design at Akron Children's Hospital, which aims to develop knowledge and expertise in the design of telehealth service solutions, with an emphasis on pediatrics.
The program will launch at an Akron Children's Pediatrics office in Summit County later this year, with plans for expansion.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski will face tough questions about his investigation into a privacy breach by Google during a House hearing on Wednesday, according to a House aide.
The aide said Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) is expected to question Genachowski on an apparently-lagging FCC probe into the infamous Google Wi-Fi data breach. The FCC probe was announced to great fanfare in November but has yet to produce any publicly available results.
During what privacy groups dubbed the "Wi-Spy" breach, Google collected and stored private data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks, including passwords and e-mails.

Psychometric evaluation of the Dutch translation of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering for adults (OASES-A-D)
Abstract: The Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering for adults (OASES-A; Yaruss & Quesal, 2006, 2010) is a patient-reported outcome measure that was designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of "the experience of the stuttering disorder from the perspective of individuals who stutter" (Yaruss & Quesal, 2006, p.90). This paper reports on the translation process and evaluates the psychometric performance of a Dutch version of the OASES-A. Translation of the OASES-A into Dutch followed a standard forward and backward translation process. The Dutch OASES-A (OASES-A-D) was then administered to 138 adults who stutter. A subset of 91 respondents also evaluated their speech on a 10-point Likert scale. For another subset of 45 respondents, a clinician-based stuttering severity rating on a 5-point Likert scale was available. Thirty-two of the respondents also completed the Dutch S-24 scale (Brutten & Vanryckeghem, 2003). The OASES-A-D showed acceptable item properties. No ceiling effects were observed. For 30 out of 100 items, most of which were in Section IV (Quality of Life), floor effects were observed. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for all sections and subsections surpassed the 0.70 criterion of good internal consistency and reliability. Concurrent validity was moderate to high. Construct validity was confirmed by distinct scores on the OASES-A-D for groups with different levels of stuttering severity as rated by the speakers themselves or by clinicians. These results suggest that the OASES-A-D is a reliable and valid measure that can be used to assess the impact of stuttering on Dutch adults who stutter.

Nokia Lumia 928 LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly Leaked!
BY ETrade Supply | April 15th, 2013 | 0 | 0
Just a couple of days ago, a series of Lumia 928 pictures have been exposed via @evleaks Twitter account, which looks very similar to Nokia Lumia 920, but with Verizon logo on top. These leaked photos fit in the previous report, indicating the existence of Nokia Lumia 928. Luckily, Etrade Supply once again get the part of Nokia Lumia 928 before release. Here are some photos we've taken and let's see what improvements Nokia has made to its new phone. At the first glance of these two different digitizer and LCD screen assembles, you will find that the Lumia 928's digitizer and LCD screen assembly looks slimmer than Lumia 920, cause it's 5 mm taller than 920's digitizer and LCD screen assembly. Though Lumia 928's screen is taller, the display area is still the same as Lumia 920, a 4.5 inches display. Another difference you can figure out is that the microphone phone of Lumia 928 is at the bottom of the screen, while that on Lumia 920 is at the bottom side of the phone. when we turn the assembles around, we can easily find out the main difference of these two screens. The LCD screen of Nokia Lumia 920 is and LCD screen, while the LCD screen of Nokia Lumia 928 is and AMOLED screen made by Samsung. We don't know why Nokia quits the IPS screen they used for Lumia 900, but what we know is that the AMOLED screen is much lighter and thinner than IPS screen, which means the space left can be used for larger battery. As the release date of Nokia Lumia 928 is just around the corner, We will keep an eye on that and share the latest parts and news with you.

LOS GATOS (CBS SF) — Opinions were decidedly split at a public comment meeting in Los Gatos Thursday afternoon about how to address the diminishing supply of phone numbers that use area code 408 in Santa Clara County.
Some telephone users in Santa Clara County, which has a population of more than 1.7 million, may be forced to switch to area code 669 in the coming year because of a depleting reservoir of phone numbers using the existing area code, according to the California Public Utilities Commission.
The CPUC has presented county residents with two options to resolve the issue in public meetings that began on Wednesday in San Jose.
The first choice, known as a split, would divide a selection of telephone users currently using area code 408 into two groups and then reassign one of the groups to instead use area code 669.
Group one, titled "Area A," is made up of northern and southern San Jose, Sunnyvale, San Antonio, Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy. Area B encompasses western San Jose, Campbell, Saratoga and Los Gatos.
The two-member CPUC panel at Thursday's meeting declined to say which of the two areas would receive the new area code if the commission opted for a split.
"I think a great injustice has been done here," said Brad Gordon, a Santa Clara County resident. "In the split option, you haven't defined what the option is."
Gordon said most people would choose a split versus the second option, called an overlay, if they knew the split would mean keeping their phone numbers and not being reassigned to area code 669.
CPUC analyst Katherine Morehouse, who sat on Thursday's panel, said the commission would "never" reveal which group would get the reassignment in their public comment meetings.
"We're never gonna do that because everybody wants a split if they get to keep their area code," she said emphatically.
In the overlay option, everyone who had a 408 number would get to keep it, and new customers would be assigned area code 669.
The downside to an overlay is that everyone affected by the overlay would have to dial 1, the area code, and then the person's phone number, even if the number they are calling has the same area code as theirs.
"I think it would be much more inconvenient to have to dial the extra 1," said Sylvia Carroll, a San Jose resident of almost 50 years.
Some attendees expressed concerns that dialing 11 digits in the overlay plan would be too much of a strain over the current system of dialing seven numbers.
"We're a nation of people with what's going to become a large elderly population with difficulty remembering names or numbers anyway," said Kathy Morgan, a Santa Clara County resident.
"We can program lots of numbers into our phones, of course. We don't have to dial 11 digits," she said. "But if we're calling a business or anyone we don't hold near and dear in our own hearts, it's 11 digits."
Others believed there existed too great a burden of changing letterhead for their businesses if the CPUC chose the split option.
"Small businesses struggle enough as it is," said Carey Richard, owner of Pat Richard Insurance Agency in Saratoga. "My company has had the same phone number for more than 40 years and to change it would be extremely frustrating, to say the least."
Officials expect the supply of phone numbers using area code 408 to run out by the end of 2012, Morehouse said.
She said the CPUC began planning in December to introduce a new area code because the process takes about a year for implementation.
The CPUC began meeting in December with the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, or NANPA, an international numbering plan for the U.S., Canada and several countries in the Caribbean.
The two organizations met with telephone service providers to discuss the best way of implementing a new area code.
The CPUC has two more meetings to collect public opinion.
A 7 p.m. meeting was planned Thursday evening at the Los Gatos Civic Center, and a final meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday in Morgan Hill city council chambers.
Morehouse said she doesn't know when NANPA, whose managers need to write a plan after the five meetings, will submit its paperwork to the CPUC, but she said she doesn't expect NANPA officials to do so for at least six months.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah starting quarterback Jordan Wynn will be sidelined for the rest of the season after a decision was made Monday to operate on his non-throwing shoulder. He suffered the injury late in the first half of the Utes' 31-14 loss to Washington on Oct. 1. The planned surgery, which followed a series of tests, is expected to take place in the next 10-14 days.
"Obviously, this is disappointing news for Jordan and the entire team," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said in a released statement. "Jordan worked incredibly hard to come back from his shoulder surgery last winter, and we are confident he will take the same approach with his rehab this time around. The good news is that he is eligible for a redshirt season."
Wynn had surgery on his other shoulder last December and did not play in Utah's Las Vegas Bowl loss to Boise State. He didn't start throwing the ball again until last summer and was monitored closely in fall camp.
The junior eventually returned to a normal routine and started the first four games of the season, completing 66-of-116 passes for 727 yards and six touchdowns. He was intercepted twice.
Junior college transfer Jon Hays replaced Wynn in the second half of the Washington game and made his first career start in last Saturday's 35-14 loss to Arizona State at Rice-Eccles Stadium. He was intercepted three times by the Sun Devils.
"I've been frustrated the past 24 hours or whatever it's been since the game," Hays said as Utah (2-3) prepares for this week's game at Pittsburgh (3-3). "So I'm just excited to get back and have a new week, a clean slate."
True freshman Tyler Shreve will be Hays' backup. Sophomore Griff Robles is getting some No. 2 reps as well since being moved back to quarterback from linebacker since Wynn's injury.73 comments on this story
Last week, Whittingham addressed Utah's depth at quarterback.
"I don't think that we're any thinner right now than anybody in the country," Whittingham said. "We've got four scholarship quarterbacks if you count Griff."
Most teams have four, he explained.
"So I think we're at our quota," Whittingham said. "But you can never be too deep at that position, and we're going to go out and get some more quarterbacks in this next class."
The Utes did lose out on a couple of recruited quarterbacks on signing day last February.

" Author: Richard Laymon / Genre: Horror "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Anyone who has read some of my reviews knows that i am a huge fan of Richard Laymon and consider him to be the best horror writer out there. Although he is dead his back catalogue is extensive and recently after reviewing a couple of his books i decided to re read some more in my collection. The latest of his books i read was After Midnight.
The story begins with Alice (not her real name but the book is wrote from the first person perspective and this is what she chooses to name herself) who is looking forward to house sitting for her friend while she and her husband are out of town. Alice normally rents a room above her friends garage and is looking forward to having the big house to herself with its big tv and kitchen and is especially looking forward to having privacy to use the swimming pool and sunbathe.
After a relaxing night she is in the big house contemplating going back to her own flat above the garage when she hears a noise outside, the lights are off so she looks out the patio doors and see's a man come from the woods past the back garden and jump into the pool. The man is completely naked and doesn't appear to have brought any clothes with him. The telephone then rings not only scaring Alice but alerting the man in the pool, the machine picks it up and it's a wrong number. The man runs to the doors and starts rubbing himself against them while staring at Alice, she grabs the phone and screams to the wrong caller that there is a man outside trying to break in.
The naked man runs off and Alice begins to feel a bit more safe, she talks to the stranger on the phone who's name is Tony for little while longer and he encourages her to ring the police but she says there is no need any longer. She grabs an antique saber that hangs in the house for protection and begins to clear up all the while trying to make sure the naked stranger is gone. She then decides to go back to her own flat above the Garage. Taking the saber with her she opens the front door to be confronted with a stranger, in panic she swings the saber at his head killing him, after her moment of panic she realises this is not her naked stranger but someone else, it is Tony the man from the phone who must have come to make sure she was ok! Alice needs to get rid of the body and all evidence of his phone call to her but what about the naked man is he still out there watching and has he seen all this? This leads to Alice having the weekend from hell.
Wow. Where did this man get his imagination from? What starts out as a simple enough story about a woman alone and a man outside her house in the dark quickly takes a completely different direction. There is so much happening in this story, with not only the murder of Tony and the naked man but then it segways into serial killers, night time visits to the woods and even more killings.
It really is a weird book and although i did enjoy it it's not one of Richard Laymons best. The character of Alice starts off as meek and afraid and then does a complete 180 and becomes this fearless bad ass who is not afraid of anything or anyone and it doesn't come across as believable in the slightest. I think the main problem for me in the book was the fact that Alice is just not likeable she does so many awful things that she justifies to herself are for her own protection that it's hard to find sympathy for her. This is unusual for a Richard Laymon book as one of his greatest strengths as a writer in my opinion are his characters who you normally root for.
The book is genuinely unsettling and everyone can relate to the idea of a stranger being in your garden at night but the random turns the story takes stretches the credibility to the absolute maximum as far as i was concerned and of course Richard Laymon subjects his female characters to some awful sexual violence in the course of the book.
It had been awhile since i had read this book and in my memory i had thought it better and although it's still better than almost anything else out there in the horror genre it did end up leaving a lingering bad taste in my mouth.
I would recommend the book to people who like horror but it's definitely not one for the squeamish or faint hearted.
One day while scanning the shelves of my local library I happened to discover this horror based novel, which boasted that Stephen King had said 'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a real treat' on the front cover. Well, I took the great mans advice and took it out for a couple of weeks. Was King serious? Probably not, no. After Midnight centres on a character called Alice who, after her friend Serena goes away on holiday with her boyfriend, has a nice big house all to herself. It quickly becomes apparent how paranoid Alice is being in a large house on her own, as much of the side of the house is made of glass, so people can see in (or out, if you look at it positively). Things are about to go pear-shaped for Alice as she discovers a naked stranger swimming in the pool. He wonders towards the house just after the phone-rings, and he thinks Alice is calling the police, so flees. She has actually been called by Tony, a seemingly insignificant wrong number (they never are, of course), and she tells him of the man in her pool and how scared she was and hangs up. Much of the early chapters in the book are well-written and undeniably tense page-turners - Alice creeps round the house in the dark whilst sensing someone might be nearby and this feeling does rub off on the reader. After Midnight goes downhill from their though sadly, as much of the horror elements are pushed aside for bizarrely-placed sex-scenes (she has sex with a landlord of somebody she accidently kills, about twenty minutes after meeting him!). After Alice's first accidental kill, she finds a remarkable nack to causing people great pain and death often without meaning it. Each time she slips up she is worried whether the police will be on to her and so you have to read through a long-winded section about how she wipes each-and-every fingerprint away from the scene, and this happens far too many times and the amount of problems she gets into means its just not convi
ncing she could clear evidence that easily with a cloth, especially when you see what she does to certain people... Alice, for a supposedly innocent person dragged into a hellish mess, is remarkably cool about using destructive weapons. Guns, knives, swords - you name it an Alice has used it! She slices all the limbs off one victim so she could fit him in her truck! And yes, you have to read about that in looonnnggg, arduous detail too. One particualar annoyance that stems from Alice not being the characters real name (narrating from the future) is that it is constantly explained and re-explained that she had to change it so no-one would recognise her real name and link her to the events in the book, nice idea and one time is acceptable but it appears in brackets even during conversations and tense scenes, at somewhat unnopportune moments. As each situation leads into another that is equally if not more improbable than the last, you look back in absolute bewilderment at the end of the story at how it ended like it did. The story appears to have no real direction to it as Alice is consistantly changing her course-of-action. As a horror novel it is scary in places but becomes either too predictable or completely unrealistic so that you never become particularly engrossed. I suppose because of the mish-mash of scenes and situations you will want to read to the end - more out of curiosity to see how Laymon has sufficently tied-up the loose ends than out of genuine interest, and much like the ending, the book is pretty average. Generally, this is one to avoid especially if you are squeamish, unless you are a complete horror fanatic.
When Alice's friend Serena goes away she stays in her house, with its sunken bathtub and big-screen TV. Best of all is the outdoor swimming pool. But one night a stranger walks out of the woods and jumps naked into the pool. Alice hopes he won't be coming to get her, like so many have done before

By COLLEEN LEDDY
"You're really strange, Colleen," my brother-in-law Thom said to me recently. He and David and I were talking on Skype (the free internet phone service) and neither he nor David nor I can remember what precipitated that remark.
"I have no idea," Thom said when I later asked him about it. "It could have been about a million things."
I suppose I should have asked him to recount a few of the "million things" he referred to, but I probably don't want to know.
I remember denying his claim, but being amused by the comment, especially because I've often remarked to myself how "normal" I've become compared to when I first moved to town.
But in the couple of weeks since Thom made that remark, I've noticed that even if I'm not willing to admit I'm strange, I have to concede strange things happen to me and I often notice strange things around me. I could say it just means I'm hyper aware of my surroundings and I'm inclined to comment on these things, but the evidence is mounting in Thom's favor. Here are a few examples.
An uncanny thing happens almost every time I read the newspaper or a book or magazine while also listening to the radio. I can't actually both read and listen with any degree of comprehension—unlike today's youth who can text, talk, study and listen to their iPods at the same time, I am not much of a multi-tasker.
So, when I say I am listening to the radio, I really only mean the radio is background noise. Still, I am able to perceive the uncanny when it happens and that is this: Someone on the radio will utter a word just as I read it or am about to read it. It happens simultaneously and it happens on bizarre words—I'm not talking about your garden variety "the," "and," "of," et cetera.
Most recently, it was the word, "Twitter." OK, I suppose "Twitter" has become as common as "the," "and," "of," but surely it's not that common to hear it and read it at the same time, is it?
Another bizarre thing that happens on a regular basis (and I'd love to hear from others on this) is a streetlight at the corner of Locust and N. Summit streets goes out whenever I walk by it or turns on if it's been out.
The last time Ben was home, the light turned off as we walked by it. He mentioned that the same thing happens to him in Miami.
"It happens to me whether I'm by myself or with someone. There was one light on my drive home to the other house and it would happen quite often, at least a few times a week. But it's happened at other random lights either walking or in a car," he said when I asked him about it last night.
Poor kid, it must be genetic. But he must have some super electromagnetic field—I don't think I've ever had much impact while driving by the streetlight. And, we haven't ruled out that it's David who's got the magic touch. I don't think I've walked by the light without him.
We'll have to put it to the test, although all signs point to me. I'm the one who makes watches stop by wearing them and let me know if you want to hear about my mental telepathy powers.
We went to Ann Arbor Saturday evening for the Homegrown Festival in Kerrytown. That's not unusual or strange, but I suppose it's not normal that I decided to attend based on the very cool drawing or woodcut of a chicken prominently displayed on the festival website. I figured if the chicken looked that good, the festival was probably going to be also.
Somehow, Maddie agreed to attend with us. Maybe it's because she has a nutrition class this semester (paying money for what her parents have been preaching for free for years) or maybe she just feels sorry for her lonely-for-her-children mother. David's a fine and dandy husband and feathers the empty nest with humor and fun times, but there's no good substitute for the company of your own children.
The festival charged me up at every booth, but David had that get-me-out-of-here look on his face as soon as he arrived. He parked himself in corners here and there to people-watch as Maddie and I visited booths for free shopping bags and samples of seitan. Well, I sampled the seitan; Maddie's not strange.
The best discovery was made toward the end—at the Maitelates booth.
I bought a dulce de leche alfajores (two thin shortbread cookies sandwiched around a layer of dulce de leche and then dipped in Belgian chocolate), but didn't eat it until I got home. Darn. I would have bought 10 more. It was, quite possibly, the best thing that I've ever put in my mouth besides Liz Stella's sticky toffee pudding.
The Chilean woman selling them said in accented English, "I really hope you like it." So, of course, I really wanted to like it because she was so earnest.
Is that so strange?

We're looking to plan our holiday this year, and I'm after your suggestions for the best Alps destinations for predominantly uplifted natural/off piste singletrack. We like to look at a map, identify a lift up and choose the steepest/wiggliest/most fun route back down, hopefully leading to another lift offering more of the same. We're after an area that offers this kind of thing, and enough of it to keep us entertained for a week! Don't mind the odd bit of park riding, but don't want it to be the main event.
We'd prefer not go guided due to cost and satisfaction (we've done a week with Whiteroom and it was excellent, but we prefer to do things ourselves and squeeze a bit more riding in a day).
Previous trips to Chamonix have provided exactly what we're after (here's a video of last year's trip if you're interested) but we're looking to find somewhere new.
I thought this place would be filled with Alps discussions, but a search didn't throw that much up, so fire away!

Sparks in 2015 not just for show - FIA
New regulations that should result in sparks flying from the underside of cars next season are being introduced for safety and technical reasons as well as improving the show, according to the FIA.
Next year cars will be fitted with titanium skid blocks within the plank under the car, which should see more sparks flying from the rear as it bottoms out. Tests were held during first practice in Austria with titanium skid blocks in place, but the FIA insists the new rule for 2015 is not just about producing sparks.
"To explain: the plank is the long bit of wood, the skids are bits of metal within the plank," FIA technical boss Charlie Whiting said. "The skids have formerly been made of a heavy metal, which has been very resistant to wear, and they put the skids around the points in the plank where thickness is measured. Planks have to start off at nominally 10mm thick and they can't be less than 9mm thick. However, we only measure them around certain holes in the plank. So they position the skids around those holes.
"This metal is extremely heavy and when pieces detach they can be extremely harmful. We saw two punctures in Spa previously because of bits of this metal that lay in a kerb and caused damage. In a worst case scenario they could fly off and hit someone.
"The purpose of making them out of titanium is threefold: Firstly, it's safer, because if they do come off they are about a third of the weight of the existing ones. Secondly, the titanium wears some 2-2.5 times more quickly than the metal currently used. Thus cars will have to be run a little bit higher to manage wear and teams won't be able to drag them on the ground quite as much as they have in the past. The third effect is that you will see a lot more sparks, which some people think will look a little more spectacular."

Track Analysis:
Rock Pigs (Pt.1, Squalor)
I know, the essence of this song has already been covered in the most rudimentary of fashions here, although (to more authoritively complete the annals of this Canute Whispers documentation) I'd already written the following piece but had instead opted for the concise nature of visuals over text; a method which would probably also stand as a fairly worthy dissenter of this entire track analysis malarchy I've been doling out over the past couple of months ... 'tis an instant yet ultimately unsatisfying means, however.
And so, in an act of gratuitous consummation, here be the original text
This track is a re-recording of an electric demo originally destined (and still fated, I suspect) for The Deviant Flux. Its initial title was Filth, although after a multitude of shambolic attempts at capturing the desired feel of the song, it was rudely abandoned and discarded. Never before had such horror been bestowed upon my laptop - the shitty old Yamaha RGX-110 guitar I employ exclusively (and only) for recording electric demos normally such an easily coaxed muse.
Frustration at oneself is best bled upon a shitty-sounding acoustic though, one whose strings are so dull they demand violence before endearing upon thine ears even a modicum of usable sound - and so that's how it's battered corpse is found here.
Essentially it's an unplugged demo version of a rock song that doesn't even exist (at least not beyond the safety of file encryption, that is) ...
As an interesting aside to all this, and relating to the initial 'Dairy Queen' post and the embedded videos therein of Nick Oliveri and Blag Dahlia, I realised afterwards that I actually have the autographs of both these men. Which, considering that I in no manner went out of my way to obtain them, is something of a curiousity.
Nick Oliveri's came via an apology for a merchandise delay.

Kid Gets Hit by Car, Lands on Feet! [VIDEO]
Here's a lucky kid who needs a little more supervision. There's a video online of a 17-year-old outside Los Angeles, trying to jump over a car that's speeding toward him at 40 miles an hour. And of course, he jumps too late, his legs get nailed, and he flips through the air. But somehow he manages to land on his FEET. And he walks away with only a bruised ankle.

Wichita Patient advocates and nursing home administrators say federal prosecutions against three Kansas nurses for drug tampering highlight regulatory gaps in the oversight of nurses — particularly those working in the long-term care facilities that serve some 90,000 Kansans.
Kansas law doesn't require nursing homes to do criminal background checks for licensed medical personnel. But the state board, which licenses about 56,000 nurses, was given legislative authority to do background checks and fingerprinting just three years ago and then on new licenses only.
The state requires hospitals to report violations of the Kansas Nurse Practice Act to regulators but does not require nursing homes to do the same.
The Kansas Board of Nursing receives between 1,500 and 1,700 complaints annually on nurses. Roughly 80 percent relate to drug or alcohol abuse.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 76
Adjacent Routes
Start up the Windhover arete to the base of the jamming crack then head diagonally across the excellent airy upper wall. The positions are almost unrivalled in the Peak. Once given an outrageous grade of VS and, although the start is now harder due to lost holds, the wild finish is the same as it ever was.
A fine adventure with a big feel about it. The start is entirely unbalanced (the crux being clipping the peg, the actual moves are easy), and it would be much better E1 with an easier start. The rest is continuously good and steady and well positioned.
In my humble opinion the best route at Stoney. I have actually soloed down it it's so good.
What a superb route! Brill.
Great route, apart from the nasty start. The top half is indeed trickier than it looks and the finish is slightly further left than is shown on the topo. And it certainly ain't VS

A gray seal pup found along the shore in Long Island has a broken jaw and isn't eating, but he is recovering and expected to make it.
"We think he will be able to use the jaw to eat again soon," said Julika Wocial, the Riverhead Foundation's rescue program supervisor.
The 50-pound seal was discovered along the shore at Robert Moses state park's field five Sunday.
The male pup injured its lower jaw either playing with another seal or by hitting some rocks, said Wocial.
The seal, which does not yet have a name, is one of 15now being nursed back to health at the marine hospital.
Most are gray seals that turned up injured, malnourished or dehydrated at a time of year when seal sightings on Long Island are common.
The foundation's rescue hotline can receive up to 20 calls a day from beachgoers who have spotted seals. Some even forward cell phone pictures to help rescuers determine if the seals really need help.
Beachgoers should stay away from seals they may find on the shore, rescuers said. Federal law requires a distance of 50 yards, but there's another good reason why humans should stay back.
"The seals look very cute," said Wocial. "A lot of people say they look like dogs and in a way, they do, but if you try to touch them, they will bite you."
It typically takes about two months for injured seals to heal. During that time, patrons of the foundation will "adopt" the seals and will be kept updated on their recoveries.
Gray seals can grow to be as large as 800 pounds.
One gray seal, rescued from the shore in Montauk back in February, will be returned to the ocean Tuesday morning in Hampton Bays.
The Riverhead Foundation's 24-hour rescue hotline is 631-369-9829.

Cascade, NorCal's Summer Vacation
by Chris H-D • July 28, 2014 • race coverage
Every year, the men and women's peloton send squads up to Cascade Cycling Classic in Bend, Oregon. The road racing shift northwards used to be complemented by Mt. Hood Cycling Classic beforehand, but that race is now defunct and Bubba Melcher's growing Little City Stage Race stands poised to possibly take the calendar slot from the brutish stage race of Hood River.
Nonetheless, Cascade Cycling Classic has persisted and grown into an event easily comparable to the prestige and hype of Redlands Cycling Classic.
Critically, Cascade Classic offers a Cat 2 stage race that provides fertile ground for younger squads to grow. This year, Bear Development, VuMedi, Davis Bike Club, Limitless Cycling Development, and Nate Dunn's Data Driven Athlete team took a group of young riders to compete.
In the opening Crooked River Time Trial, Jeromy Cottel of Specialized Masters took 3rd, while Jonathan Penaloza of DBC pushed a fantastic ride for 5th.
In the subsequent road race stage around Mt. Bachelor, Jason Saltzman of Bear Development finished 4th, vaulting him up the overall standings. The next day in the crit, Jonathan Penaloza sported another huge ride, taking 2nd, along with a time bonus. The final shakeout on rolling, repetatively hard Awbrey Buttes stage saw Jeromy Cottell solidify his overall win, while Penaloza slipped down to 7th. A plucky final stage for Andrew Shimizu of Data Driven Athlete pulled him up into 8th overall and Jason Saltzman finished 10th.
The women's pro race saw ambitious groups of NorCal's riders make the journey to Bend. Velo Sports Group project sent 2 riders, Erica Greif and Megan Alderete. Diane Moug, who has ridden very successfully thus far in NorCal for both UC Davis and Folsom Bike was guest-riding for Metromint who also brought NorCalians Leah Thomas, and Joanna Dahl. Sara Bird rode for the ICE Sportswear p/b Pinnacle Racing team.
Ali Tetrick of Team Twenty16 Pro Cycling was top NorCal finisher in 9th, while a top 10 ride for Leah Thomas on the final day over Awbrey Buttes gave her 19th GC.
In the men's pro race, Marc Pro – Strava cemented its status as an NRC caliber team, taking 6th on the team general classification which meant top amateur honors, and out-riding 3 other pro teams. The breakthrough team performance put a rider in the top 10 of every stage except the criterium, where guest-rider Tim Rugg opted for a crowd-pleasing 3-to-go attack for the $400 "gambler's prime" amidst a huge and hysterical downtown Bend turnout. A sterling ride by Justin Rossi on the final Awbrey Buttes stage netted him 5th when he bridged across to the the winning breakaway before the final lap. Rossi and Rugg finished 18th and 19th on GC, respectively.
