This section describes the data you need to collect when the server crashes. The most critical data to collect is the core file.
If you contact the Sun Support Center about a crashed Directory Server process, you must provide a core file and logs.
Core file and crash dumps are generated when a process or application terminates abnormally. You must configure your system to allow Directory Server to generate a core file if the server crashes. The core file contains a snapshot of the Directory Server process at the time of the crash, and can be indispensable in determining what led to the crash. Core files are written to the same directory as the errors logs, by default, instance-path/logs/. Core files can be quite large, as they include the entry cache.
If a core file was not generated automatically, you can configure your operating system to allow core dumping by using the commands described in the following table and then waiting for the next crash to retrieve the data.
ulimit -c
Windows crashdump
For example, on Solaris OS, you enable applications to generate core files using the following command:
# coreadm -g /path-to-file/%f.%n.%p.core -e global -e process \ -e global-setid -e proc-setid -e log
The path-to-file specifies the full path to the core file you want to generate. The file will be named using the executable file name (%f), the system node name (%n), and the process ID (%p).
If after enabling core file generation your system still does not create a core file, you may need to change the file-size writing limits set by your operating system. Use the ulimit command to change the maximum core file size and maximum stack segment size as follows:
# ulimit -c unlimited # ulimit -s unlimited
Check that the limits are set correctly using the -a option as follows:
# ulimit -a time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 256 vmemory(kbytes) unlimited
For information about configuring core file generate on Red Hat Linux and Windows, see the respective operating system documentation.
Next, verify that applications can generate core files using the kill -11 process-id command. The cores should be generated in either the specified directory or in the default instance-name/logs directory.
# cd /var/cores # sleep 100000 & [1] process-id # kill -11 process-id # ls
Get all the libraries and binaries associated with the slapd process for core file analysis. Collect the libraries using the pkgapp script . The pkgapp script packages an executable and all of its shared libraries into one compressed tar file. You provide the process ID of the application and, optionally, the name of the core file to be opened. For more information about the pkgapp script see Using the pkgapp Script on Solaris.
As superuser, run the pkgapp script as follows:
# pkgapp server-pid core-file
You can also run the pkgapp script without a core file. This reduces the size of the script's output. You need to later set the variable to the correct location of the core file.
To look at the log files created at the time the problem occurred, check the following files:
# instance-name/logs/errors* # instance-name/logs/access*
If the crash is related to the operating system running out of disk or memory, retrieve the system logs. For example, on Solaris OS check the /var/adm/messages file and the /var/log/syslogs file for hardware or memory failures.
To get complete version output, use the following commands:
# dsadm -V

An insider's guide to Bristol
Alice Walker finds that her university city ain't what it used to be: with smart new shops and restaurants crammed in among the cosy old pubs, these days it's an even better place to hang out
Known for its powerful cider, Pieminister pies, Banksy street art and head-thumping drum-and-bass scene, Bristol is a cool and quirky place full of life and culture, and well worth inspecting. I spent my student days here living in a dilapidated Georgian townhouse in Clifton, sharing with two other girls. We partied hard, sustained by Magic Rolls (a compulsory late-night Bristol snack of meat, cheese and salad in a flatbread slathered with garlic sauce) as we staggered home at dawn, and played games of rounders on the blustery Downs. Six years on, Bristol is still as fun and vibrant as I remember but with a glossier, more grown-up feel. Swanky new restaurants and shops have opened up in the city's patchwork of neighbourhoods: swish Clifton, hip and happening Stokes Croft and up-and-coming Bedminster. Green spaces are dotted all over, but this is still a city with grit, the de facto capital of the South-west with an infectious, unflagging energy.

Phrases like "Wait, let me instagram this first" are common these days, with our smartphones taking over bulky cameras in documenting our every experience, whether exciting or mundane.
Convenience and cost saving, however, have come at the expense of quality of image and a physical printed product. If you've been dreaming of not compromising on any of these, it seems Peek!, the official Impossible Project's Partner Store in Singapore has found a solution that does just that.
By marrying 2 technologies – modern iPhone photography with classic Polaroid photography, we get the IMPOSSIBLE Instant Lab, a fully functioning camera that transforms any digital image into an instant print.
This nifty gadget was made possible with the help from the Kickstarter campaign and a bunch of passionate and talented instant photography lovers. The team came together to conceptualize and work on the design of the IMPOSSIBLE Instant Lab in Germany, with Professor Achim Heine, designer of the Film Processing Unit (FPU) coming on board as well. The Instant Lab has come a long way, with its first prototype being handmade in the Enschede factory, the Netherlands more than a year ago.
The Instant Lab is a polaroid hardware that serves as a real camera, using an exclusive four-element coated glass lens to capture a photo from our iOS device's display screen. This is possible through the shutter mechanism within the Instant Lab itself, also known as the FPU. The captured image is then transferred onto the film instantly; producing a unique analog photo through a photochemical process. And yes, the Instant Lab is a camera, not a printer.
Sounds good in theory, but what about the photos that result from this? The end product is a softer and more muted image of one's original photo from the iOS device. As the Instant Lab essentially uses the iOS device's screen as the source of image, the output is sharper and more vibrant in color as compared to traditional Polaroid films.
Furthermore, one can alter the contrast, gamma and hue of the photo through the Impossible Project App (available on the Apple App Store for free) before placing the iOS device on the Instant Lab. This enables users to edit the photos to their liking and make multiple copies of the same shot, a few things that a traditional Polaroid camera cannot fulfill. Users can also upload and share their photos with the instant photography community through the Impossible user gallery. With the Instant Lab, smartphone photos can now turn into tangible memories.
For samples of what you can expect, check out In An Instant, a free exhibition featuring over 100 photos that were captured using the Instant Lab. These shots were the work of 3 established phoneographers (smartphone photographers) – Aik Beng Chia, Bryan van der Beek, and Ivan Kuek. One can witness the street-style photos of Chia, Kuek's humble snaps of the streets of Paris, and the listlessly grand images of the nature and various cities by Van der Beek on display.
Kuek, the founding member of Singapore Instagram (SGIG), tells UrbanWire, "In the past, people have to spend money on films and cameras, and put time aside for developing and printing the films. Now, almost everybody has got a smartphone."
Simply select an image from the Impossible Project App, place the iOS device on the cradle, and pull the shutter slide out. A signal on the app will prompt you when the exposure is complete. Proceed to close the shutter, push the button and wait patiently for approximately 30 seconds as the Instant Lab develops your photo.
Van der Beek, an award-winning commercial and editorial photographer based in Singapore shares with UrbanWire how technology is changing his work. "One of the strangest requests that I've had from a client (for a commercial project) was to add Instagram filters onto the photographs," laughs Van der Beek.
Chia, who recently published his first monograph Tonight The Streets Are Ours, added: "All you need is a phone. It's a point and shoot process…just have fun with it."

There is no Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles action figure on the market to my knowledge; given the serie was not successfull and long lasting enough, toy manufacturers and retailers estimated there was no market for action figures. Still, you can find hand-made (fan-made) products on the net, often assembled from various other action figures.

Parcel Search Helpful Hints
Parcel Number Search
Enter a complete parcel number to locate a specific parcel record or a partial parcel number to select a range of parcels. Partial parcel numbers are left most significant digits: for example a partial parcel number of '07' will yield most if not all of the parcels within the Montesano City limits, and likewise a partial number of '0703012' will produce a list of parcels in and around the 500 block of West Simpson in the City of Montesano. See examples below.
Address Search
Enter any combination of house number, street direction and or street name to select a range of parcels. The street name has the additional feature of being able to contain 'wildcard characters'; in this case, the percent ('%') symbol. By utilizing a wildcard character, you may now search for unknown information or select a broader range of records. See examples below.
Legal Description
Enter the appropriate key words and phrases to locate the desired parcel or parcels. Remember to separate the keywords and phrases with wildcard characters ('%'). The legal description can be very useful for narrowing your search down to a specific area or plat. See examples below.
Use Creative Searches
Don't be afraid to combine any and all of the search fields. By entering information into, say the parcel and street fields, you can affectively narrow your search down to a street name within a given city/area.See examples below.
Parcel Number Search Examples:
More Specific, Fewer records select.
|Street Name
|All Parcels with 123for a house number.
|All parcels in the county listed with the directional designation of 'North'. ie. North 1st. Street.
|All parcels in the county, listed on streets or avenues containing the name 'way'. ie. 'broadway', 'one way lane', 'John Wayne Rd.' etc
|Only parcels with a house number of '123' and being on a street name 'Simpson' regardless of city or area.
|Wildcard: Match street names based on wildcard character placement. Resulting selection will contain parcels that contain the characters 'PT' followed somewhere by the characters 'AVE', regardless of what comes before or after the 'PT' and the 'AVE' characters. The resulting selection here would contain the following streets: 'Pt Brown Ave' and 'Pt of no return Avenue', 'North pt Ave', etc.
|Selects Parcels on Streets Named :Granpa Lane, Grand Pass Lake, etc.
|Selects only Parcels on Streets named: Granpa Lane, Grand Pass Lake with a house number of '123'.
Again, case SHOULD not matter.
|Will display all parcels with a legal description containing the word 'cooper'.
|lot 22%cooper
|Will display all parcels with a legal description containing the words 'lot 22' and 'cooper'. (in that order).
|lot 22%cooper point addition%hill
|Will display all parcels with a legal description containing the words 'lot 22' and 'cooper point addition' and 'hill', in that order.
Still, case SHOULD not matter.
|Parcel No
|Street Name
|All parcels with parcel numbers beginning with '07' and have a street name containing the word 'simpson'.
|Parcel No
|House Number
|Street Name
|All parcels with parcel numbers beginning with '07' having a house number of '123' and a street name that contains the word 'simpson'.

The Wyoming Business Council's Board of Director's met in Cheyenne and recommended approval of 40 projects, impacting 32 communities with an estimated $18.9 million in state and federal funding and $5.3 million invested by communities as a match. Business Council Co-Chair Clarene Law comments on the recent meeting.
The City of Sheridan received $25,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for a senior citizens council planning grant. The community match is $8,333.
The Town of Ranchester received $300,000 in CDBG funding to enhance the town's entryway and downtown. The board also recommended for approval a $489,500 Business Ready Communities grant, which still must go before SLIB for final decision. The community match comes from $44,500 in-kind funds and another $145,000 in Mineral Royalty funds. Award of the CDBG application is not contingent on SLIB approval of the BRC grant.

Alpharetta police Officer David Tobias gives residents some back to school tips for safety.
Phone numbers
With today's technological world, kids need to know more phone numbers than ever before. This is especially true for kids that are from split families. To make things a little easier, type everyone's numbers that the kids might need on a piece of paper or a card.
When you are done, have the cards laminated. If the kids are old enough to carry a wallet, it will slip inside easily. If they are younger, you can punch a hole in the card and lace it into their school backpack, so they will not lose it. Also, make sure their school has updated contact information.
Car safety
Please be sure everyone is properly seat-belted into your vehicle before putting the car into gear. Younger kids should be in car seats or booster seats, and they should sit in the back seat if they are under 12 years old. Drop the kids as close to the school as possible. If the school has a drop off area, be sure to use it. Do not set a bad example by dropping them in a dangerous location. If the kids are young, wait until they are in the school yard or building before you leave.
Walking to school the safe way
Plan the route your kids are going to take if they are walking to school. It is important to try to minimize the number of streets they have to cross. Keep it as simple as possible. Then, do a dry run with your kids. You should have them do it at least once on their own before the first day of school, so they feel comfortable. Teach your kids to keep away from vacant lots, fields and any other locations that have few people around.
Also, please make sure that your kids do not walk alone, especially if they are young. Creeps look for the kids that are all alone. It is much more difficult to deal with a bunch of kids, so they normally do not do it.
Family meeting spot
Make sure to pick out a family meeting spot that can be used in case of an emergency. Parents with kids in middle school and high school should make sure they do not forget this. When there is a crisis, things get confusing. If they know where they are supposed to meet you, you will both be calmer. In any emergency, please tell your kids (who carry cell phones) to call 911 first. We can't help you if we don't know something is happening.
Stranger safety
Teach your kids not to talk to strangers. They should not accept presents or rides from them. Also, be sure to pick a family password. This word will be used if someone different is picking them up from school, sports or other locations. It should be a weird word, like spaghetti. One that someone would not be able to guess. If too many people have heard your word, change it.
After school safety
If the kids are alone after school for a short time, make sure that they follow some basic guidelines:
They should keep the doors locked.
They should never tell someone on the phone that there are no adults at home. Teach them to say that you can't come to the phone right now.
Post a list of emergency phone numbers near the phone.
Have them call you at work or on your cell phone as soon as they get home.
Set up rules on what kind of food they can fix. Younger children should never use the stove without adult supervision.
Be sure to set up guidelines on who they can have over (if anyone) and what they are allowed to do. Also, tell your close neighbors to call 911 if they see any suspicious activity.

There are always good ways to keep an eye on your home when you're not there, but in order to do it efficiently and simply, all you need is a Mac computer and a specific AppleScript. It certainly won't alert you to intruders in your house, you'll need a separate alarm system for that, but if someone were to break in, you could catch them by having their face on camera. You can easily access your webcam from your iOS device with FaceTime. Just copy and paste the following AppleScript into AppleScript editor and save it as an Application. Now, whenever you leave the house, just run the application and it will monitor for new FaceTime calls. Simple as that! When you want to check in on your living room, just call yourself on FaceTime from your iPhone or iPod touch, and your Mac will automatically answer the call. When you hang up the call, the script will close FaceTime and continue monitoring for incoming calls. When you get home, you can just quit the app to stop FaceTime from auto-answering everything that comes in. There is one VERY IMPORTANT note: You'll want to make sure that you have your Mac set to use an email address that no one else knows you use for FaceTime, otherwise it will auto-answer anyone that calls it. Unless, that is, you are setting up a kitty-cam and giving the address to all of your friends for afternoon entertainment. But I wouldn't recommend it. If you get an error when running the script to that effect, head over to System Preferences > Universal Access and check the "Enable Access for Assistive Devices" checkbox at the bottom of the preference pane. Good luck and let me know how it works for you!

And yes, I did balance the prop but the whole plane vibrates now. I took off the prop adapter and put on a prop adapter instead but its still there.
I flew the plane this morning and it seemed like I had lost a little performance. Kinda like I was flying with a brushed motor again. However, the motor, esc and battery were all cool. It was 47 degrees outside though so that was working to my advantage.

Not to defend anyone but if you stick around for 2000 posts of your own you will quickly see thousands of threads just like this one. It will miff you a little bit and quickly you will pick and choose what you want to read. Almost like reading a newspaper nowadays.
Which brings me to a great new idea for message boards!!! If you filtered posts based on how many posts people saw then you might have something more suited to their reading style.
For example, once you reach the 1000 posts mark you get to see folks who have posts between 1000 and 2000 or somthing like that and so on. That way you don't see all the same I wish they read the FAQ questions over and over again.
Just a little enlightenment,
It's not a personal attack. Maybe it could be voiced better, but its probably what most of the experienced people are thinking. If he didn't say it, you would just never know right? I mean if you can't tell the difference, between that and what you wrote, there isn't much hope. The curse word kind of gives it away don't you think?
By the way, I was the one to give you the only real advice in that last thread. Mainly because the few newbies that responded don't really know, and so I took my time to help. And when I see you starting another thread with no response in the first thread, people like me are not going to keep responding. I mean I don't take this stuff personally, but as in life I choose who my friends are.
I think you should be a little less defensive until you figure out how things work around here.
Matbe you should reread the post:
I was trying to inspect my outrunner due to this gritty sound it was making but I was having a hard time getting it apart.
In the process I may have put too much pressure on the outside with the pliers. How do I know if I damaged the motor?
I'm thinking that if the motor was compressed the magnets may be too close together and possibly rubbing. I would imagine that would create a serious amperage issue. It sounds ok, at least that gritty sound is gone and it seems to spin ok. Besides just not running the motor how can I tell for sure?
See the "In the process" line? I was in the process of trying to fix this like I was told by you guys in that other post you are referring to. In that process it may have been further damaged, it was that further damage I was asking about in this new thread. They ARE NOT the same post as I've already stated.
In one I was asking about a gritty sound in the motor, in this one I was asking about possibly having compressed the can while attempting to inspect the magnets.
The big problem I had was that I was was told that this was a useless thread, and for that I called the guy a certain term which perhaps I shouldn't have. Regardless I feel that he was acting inappropriately.
How can you honestly say that my asking a question deserves that response?
BTW, your response although the most helpful come about 5 minutes after the damage occured.
There were however a few people in this thread who did offer thier advice such as that it would most likely be fine as long as it turned freely.
I was one of the people who suggested xray to open his motor and check his mags out. In hindsight i should have warned him against damaging the bell. Which is exactly what i did when i dissected my first cdrom motor to convert for my tigermoth. I destroyed 3 motors before getting it right. now i'm making motors left and right...well i've made 4 good motors now. well....3.5 one worked fine but had a strange way of connecting the bell and stator. The stator had a ring of plastic clips that clipped onto a insert in the bell. The motor worked fine but the friction from this ring created mad heat and melted everything. it demagged my motor.
anyway back to the original subject.
xray on some motors there is a c or e-clip on the end of the shaft to keep everything in place. Pop this off and your bell and shaft should separate easily from the stator. Do not try to take the bell off the shaft, they stay together. Now if your making your own motor or replacing a bent shaft and need to remove the shaft from the bell this method works well for me. Take the shaft/bell and place it ontop of a vice. Close the vice enough that only the shaft fits through. if it's a metal vice the magnets should hold the bell in place nicely. Now take a hammer and tap the shaft out. Be careful to keep the shaft straight so you dont enlargen the hole on the bell. Now take the new shaft and tap it in with a hammer. Then put some threadlocker or other "hold it in place real good" stuff on the shaft and bell and it should hold just fine. In some instances you can use CA but this can break easily in a crash. I use ca as a quickfix in the field if i have to.
If you have other questions just ask.
xray, just a point. The fellow who answered your last question in your last thread would have appreciated a simple "Thanks for your help" That's all. Many do not expect replies and some do. I try to help when ever there is something I know about and it helps to have the responses, whether I answered too late or not.
I don't have a lot of posts on this forum, but I have over 1,700 on another forum and more on others scattered around. The reason is that on this forum I have found a boat load of information just by searching. I do agree that it was in bad tastes to call this "another useless thread". I have found that most noobies will ask questions without bothering to do a search first. I just over look it. They usually figure it out and get the hang of things pretty soon. In the beginning I would search for hours trying to find an answer to a question with no luck. Then I would post a question and, it seemed without fail, while I was waiting for a response, I would stumble onto the answer! That happens to everyone. There is no need to put someone down.
Good flying to you
I will answer any question you have without insults now or in the future. As for the filter idea yeah I guess mcharles is right. Without the more experienced folk around the board would decline. I think a little would go along way if folks who signed up here would have to read the FAQ somehow and thus decreasing the most commonly asked questions....
happy flyin,
Obviously I don't know how much pressure you have applied to the casing so anything here is a bit hypothetical. Most outrunners have very little clearance between the magnets/casing and the inner windings so any damaged you might have caused should show up with rubbing that you can feel or hear. You say you can't feel anythiing and the motor turns freely so we'll assume you're in luck but if you have "ovalised" the casing just a fraction this could be causing that vibration or imbalance part way through the throttle cycle. With luck, Hoppy is right and it's just the prop that's out of balance. You also have to be wary as in most instances the magnets are merely epoxied to the outer casing walls and mishandling could cause them to lose the glued adhesion and be left to rely solely on magnetic adhesion. That being the case it's possible a magnet has moved (or is moving while the motor is running) and that is causing the vibration period.
I know this can happen because I had this problem with a very early Axi and they were good enough to replace the motor. Just in case you're wondering, it wasn't my fault.
Good Luck

Almost any individual portion of "Fosse" would qualify as a highlight of the season thus far. Virtually every sequence stands head and shoulders over the desperate calisthenics of "Footloose" and pedestrian steps of "On the Town." So is it churlish to wish for more?
The answer, sadly, is no. Director-choreographer Bob Fosse may have had a cynical, brooding heart, but it beat unmistakably through the sinuous, defiant, audacious moves of his shows. "Fosse," as reconstructed by such Fosse veterans as Ann Reinking, Chet Walker, Gwen Verdon, and Richard Maltby, Jr., provides plenty of the arms and steps and tushes and hats, but precious little of that heart.
The cast of 32 is ludicrously strong; every performer pulls off the notoriously difficult Fosse style with consummate flash and skill. Theatre stalwarts like Scott Wise and Mary Ann Lamb are joined by such classically trained stars as Elizabeth Parkinson and Desmond Richardson, whose explosive "Percussion 4" solo stands out as a highlight. "From This Moment on," a giddy seduction duet between Lamb and Andy Blankenbuehler, packs more emotion and delight into 45 seconds than most shows do in entire dance sequences.
Not every bit works. Valarie Pettiford and Jane Lanier are accorded star treatment without really being given material befitting stars, although the Lanier-led "Steam Heat" holds its own against the original. The transitional sequences are jarring in their lack of focus and innovation. "Mr. Bojangles" (from "Dancin' ") is asked to withstand far too much emotional weight. And the "All That Jazz" numbers don't make much sense out of context.
The biggest problem, paradoxically, comes from many of the stronger numbers. For the most part, the "Dancin' " and "Big Deal" sequences hold their own as set pieces--that's how they were conceived. But sequences from "Damn Yankees," and the famed "Manson Trio" from "Pippin" are much more effective when they aren't surrounded with a dozen similar numbers.
The "Sing, Sing, Sing" finale brings the evening to a triumphant close. Wise, Eugene Fleming, and Parkinson get one more chance to astound, Santo Loquasto trots out one last set of flashy costumes, and the incredibly hardworking orchestra gets a deserved turn in the spotlight. (The superb Ralph Burns-Douglas Besterman orchestrations make this the rare dance show that absolutely requires a cast recording.) It's so stunning that the evening's faults get shunted off to the side. But they're still there, and they reduce what could have been a true masterpiece to an impressive but ultimately repetitive compendium of dances. Broadway's most rhythmic, rolling razzle-dazzler ever deserves a little bit more.

SALT LAKE CITY — Restricting calories may extend the life of rodents, but it doesn't seem to increase longevity for monkeys, according to surprise findings in a much-anticipated study published this week by the journal Nature. Monkeys do, however, get some health benefits from consuming fewer calories.
Many earlier studies suggested that restricting calories adds years to life in lab-bred rodents. The findings were so compelling, in fact, that many scientists and others have curbed their own caloric intake in anticipation of reaping extra years. Caloric restriction decreases calories by as much as 40 percent, but maintains the nutrients found in a standard diet.
Drug manufacturers have sought drugs that would "mimic the salutary effects of a skimpy diet without triggering severe hunger pangs," according to an article in the Wall Street Journal.
The new research, collected over 30 years (because that's the outer lifespan of monkeys), casts doubt on whether the benefits found for rodents would extend to people, since monkeys and humans are primates and more similar genetically.
"One thing that's becoming clear is that calorie restriction is not a Holy Grail for extending the lifespan of everything that walks on earth," Rafael de Cabo, an experimental gerontologist in the U.S. National Institute on Aging and lead study author, told WSJ.
To test the calorie restriction theory, the NIA scientists restricted by 30 percent the diets fed two sets of monkeys. The first group included monkeys ages 1 to 14, while the other group was made up of older monkeys, 16 to 23. They were compared to similar groups with more normal diets.
The male animals on calorie restriction had lower cholesterol; the females didn't. Cancer incidence appeared to fall with caloric restriction, but heart disease increased slightly. Age-related diseases, however, appeared a bit later in calorie-restricted animals.
A 20-year study begun shortly after the NIA study and reported in 2009 by the University of Wisconsin found that monkeys lived longer if deaths from non-aging related causes weren't counted. But if they were included, no longevity benefit existed.
"Caloric restriction research has a long history," the NIA reported in a release announcing the newer study results. "The first finding came in the 1930s, when investigators observed laboratory rats and mice lived up to 40 percent longer when fed a calorie-restricted diet. Subsequent research has cited calorie restriction as extending lifespan of yeast, worms, flies and some strains of mice. But other studies have not shown a longevity benefit."
It said some strains of mice not only saw no benefit, but had a shorter lifespan when fed fewer calories. "To date, research does not provide evidence that calorie restriction is an appropriate age regulator in humans," NIA said, noting that limited human studies are now taking place.
"People may respond differently to calorie restriction depending on their genetic makeup and the composition of their diets," the Journal article speculated. "Outcomes will also vary depending on whether people are overweight or already lean when they adopt the practice. When done properly, calorie restriction appears to provide some health benefits for people, such as lowering the risk of heart disease."
"These results suggest the complexity of how calorie restriction may work in the body," said NIA director Dr. Richard J. Hodes. "Calorie restriction's effects likely depend on a variety of factors, including environment, nutritional components and genetics."
Both studies raised questions and had faults, Luigi Fontana, a gerontologist at Washington University, told Wired. He noted that the stress of being kept in isolated cages, as monkeys in both studies were, could create enough stress to alter the results.Comment on this story
"If you're in a single cage for your whole life, and are a highly intelligent animal like a primate, deprived of contact with other peers, and on top of that you're calorically restricted — can you imagine the psychological depression issues that will ensue?" Fontana told Wired. "And we know the hypothalamus in the brain is a major regulator of many downstream metabolic factors."
He also noted that not all calories are the same.
Experts agree that maintaining a healthy weight and exercising do provide health benefits.

Apple SauceOctober 31st, 2013 , by Ruth
I was cleaning out the fridge this week and I noticed that we had a LOT of apples that had been hiding in the back for well over a month. A few days ago, somebody sliced one open to eat, only to realize it was mushy inside and no longer good for eating raw, although it wasn't moldy or spoiled. That apple was put in a plastic bag in the fridge.
Two days ago, I took the time to peel ALL the apples in the fridge, including the ones that had previously been sliced. Those were harder to peel! I cut up the ones that weren't pre-cut, removing the cores and seeds. Then I put all the apple chunks and slices into the crock pot and let it simmer on "high" for a few hours. I added a dash of salt and a few dashes of cinnamon. Cinnamon is an "avoid" for my B son, but he's never reacted badly to it, and he likes the flavor.
Around bedtime, it looked done, but I was too tired to deal with it then. I didn't realize the apples would cook so fast! I turned it to low to take care of in the morning. If I'd known they would have cooked so quickly, I would have put them on "low" to begin with. I'd also expected to use the hand blender before putting the apple sauce in jars, but it was so soft I simply had to stir it with a spoon, and it resembled the texture of commercial applesauce. It's much darker in color though- but I'm not sure if that's because I used old apples, because of the extended cooking time, or because of the cinnamon. It may have been a combination of all 3.
I made this yesterday but the kids have yet to try it. I'll update you when the "taste test" results are in!
The Festival of Booths- and Foil PansSeptember 17th, 2013 , by Ruth
The Jewish holiday of Succos is coming up tomorrow night. Right on the heels of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, it's time to build the succah and get ready for Yom Tov again.
Succos, also called Succot, is sometimes translated as "The Holiday of Booths." It's a Biblical holiday where we live in temporary dwellings for the week, in memory of the tents the Israelites used in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. The roof needs to be made of 100% natural materials, such as bamboo or tree limbs, and can't be completely water tight. There need to be holes in the "schach" that let us see the sky through it, or it's not a kosher succah. I remember one year when friends built their first succah, using branches from deciduous trees for the schach. The leaves turned brown and fell off during the 7 day festival, and we kept getting leaves in our food!
Everybody eats in the succah, unless it's raining, and some people also sleep in the succah. The one year my daughters tried that, the sprinklers came on in the middle of the night and they got soaked! I've known families who build a small succah on the porch outside the master bedroom, and sleep in that, while entertaining guests in a larger succah on the patio outside the dining room.
We don't have anything that fancy. Our succah has a metal frame, nylon canvas sides, and the roof is a bamboo mat specifically manufactured for this purpose. We can get it assembled in about an hour- two if you count the time it takes us to bring up the folding table and locate the folding chairs. We usually build it on our back lawn, right outside the back doors. Since my apartment is on the second floor, we have to carry all the food down a flight of stairs before we can eat in the succah. Plus the table that fits in the succah is smaller than the one in my kitchen, so there isn't much space for a lot of dishes on the table.
This changes my meal planning somewhat. This isn't a good time to roast a whole turkey, slice what we need, and save the leftovers for other meals. I used to only make "one meal dinners" in a foil pan for Succos. I've since discovered that it's not all that hard to pile a small foil pan or two on top of a big one and carry both downstairs together. Plus, my kids are bigger now and it's not too much to carry if we all take something. So now I'll still make "meat and veggies" in one pan, but I don't mind cooking the rice in a separate pan and roasting potatoes in a third- it all still fits well enough on the table and isn't too hard to carry down.
The challenge is to find different ways to cook foil pans full of "meat and veggies" that doesn't get repetitive or boring, and that's still compliant for everybody- or at least "mostly compliant." I'm OK with small "cheats" at holiday time. Feel free to post any recipe ideas in the "comments" section.
PicklesAugust 9th, 2013 , by Ruth
The CSA keeps on giving us new varieties of organic, locally grown produce every week. The farmers certainly don't know about the Blood Type Diet, nor that my type B son is away at camp!
We've been getting a bunch of cucumbers. My Mom took some, since she doesn't follow BTD. I gave some to my ex husband, since he's a B. But I got 4 rather large cucumbers this week. My mom still hasn't finished both of the cucumbers from last week, and my ex isn't seeing the girls this week because the girls are too busy with various activities.
I decided to make pickles, so the cucumbers will still be good to eat when Jack gets home from camp.
I spent quite a bit of time online searching for pickle recipes and techniques, and finally settled on one that called for salt, white vinegar, garlic, and dill. I substituted apple cider vinegar for the white vinegar called for in the recipe, and also put in some whole peppercorns. I already had fresh garlic in the house and I bought fresh dill for this purpose.
If I get more cucumbers next week, I think I'll try making bread and butter pickles. Those won't have the probiotics of lacto-fermented pickles, but I can make them with 100% compliant ingredients for a B and I know he'll enjoy them. I'm not sure just how many dill pickles Jack will want to eat. After that, Jack will be home and I may just serve cucumbers fresh- unless he asks me to make more pickles.
Cooking for FourJuly 23rd, 2013 , by Ruth
Leah came home from camp yesterday, and Jack left for camp this morning. I'd grown used to cooking for only 3 of us, and as of today there will be 3 of us again, but last night I made dinner for four.
Jack decided he wanted spaghetti- so I bought a package of brown rice spaghetti. We decided to only buy one package of pasta because we really don't need to have pasta for again any time soon- with 3 Os in the house, all of whom need to lose weight, cutting back on carbs is wise.
I peeled and chopped a whole pound of carrots and boiled them, adding some frozen broccoli to the pot about 10 minutes before serving time. I knew that sautéed or roasted mushrooms and onions would have been a delicious addition to the meal, but I didn't want to heat up the whole oven for one dish, and we didn't have enough space on the stove. Leah made a cream sauce using butter, whole milk, rice flour, and spices. The girls aren't really supposed to have milk, but they don't react badly to it and they're both healthy enough to be less compliant. I didn't have any of the sauce.
We served the pasta, veggies, and sauce with grated parmesan cheese. I mixed in some canned tuna and butter in my portion instead of the cream sauce. I did enjoy the parmesan cheese since it's a black dot; I can have it once in a while.
I felt satisfied after two portions, but Hannah wasn't full by the time the food was finished. I couldn't make more pasta because I hadn't purchased any, and there wasn't time to start cooking rice. I'm just not used to cooking for 4 people anymore! If I make this meal for 4 again, I'll turn on the oven for a dish of rice and a dish (or two) of more vegetables cooked in oil, rather than just the boiled ones on the stovetop.
I made some pizza toast for Hannah after the main meal was over. Made with spelt bread, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese, it's perfectly compliant for an O secretor. We were all well fed in the end, but it wasn't fun for her to be hungry after dinner or for me to cook after preparing what I thought was a whole meal.
Meatless Menu for 2 Os and a BJuly 12th, 2013 , by Ruth
Right now we're in the middle of "The 9 Days"- the saddest time in Jewish history. From the first of the Jewish month of Av until the 9th is a period of semi-mourning where, among other things, eating meat is not permitted except for Shabbos. The 9th of Av is the date that the Great Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed- both times, it happened on the same Jewish date. A few other sad things in Jewish history happened on this date as well. The 9th itself is a fast day; no eating or drinking anything from sundown the night before until nightfall of that day.
My kids don't seem to mind the lack of meat for dinner. Jack (type B ) is always perfectly happy to subsist on grains and dairy- the challenge is to get him to eat fruits and veggies. Hannah usually feels better with meat for dinner, but has been doing perfectly fine with eggs, fish, and dairy. She just needs to make sure she gets enough vegetables and protein, and she doesn't have any noticeable reactions to "avoid" dairy products.
As an O nonnie, I need a lot of animal protein to maintain normal function. While I do well on fish and eggs, I also need red meat to feel my best. Needless to say, I haven't been feeling my best this week. I made sure to eat meat every day the prior week, and less fish than usual, to help prepare me for a week without red meat or poultry. But I still couldn't feel satisfied on the first "meatless day" until I ate some cheese, which I'm not supposed to be eating. Too much cheese makes me stuffed up and it can also make me irritable.
After the first day sent me reaching for "avoid" cheeses such as mozzarella and Muenster, I began eating chevre BEFORE the cravings got the better of me. Chevre isn't listed on my SWAMI at all. I could say "It's an avoid for O nonnies, and I'm an O nonnie, so it's an avoid for me." Indeed, that's the stance I take most of the year. But goat dairy has always been easier on my system than cow dairy, so I figured it's my best bet right now. I then decided to look up how chevre is made, and compare that to the cheeses on my neutral and beneficial lists. It's cultured and then strained, not cooked, making it closer to quark cheese than any other cheese on my dairy list. Quark is a "beneficial" food for me. If the cheese is cultured, strained, then cooked in any way, it would make the chevre more like cottage cheese, which is neutral.
I'm still not sure how I feel about consuming chevre on a regular basis, but for this week, I think it's my best choice. Remaining unsatisfied isn't a realistic option either. I'm feeling stuffed up right now, but I don't know if that's from the chevre or a continued reaction from the cow's milk cheeses I ate a few days ago.
For Shabbos, when meat consumption is permitted, I plan to eat meat for most, if not all, of my meals. Normally we make fish and salad for Saturday's lunch, but this week we're serving cold cuts with the salads instead. I'm not doing this to be hedonistic or to have a "meat fest" which would be inappropriate at this time of year; I'm simply making enjoyable Shabbos food while also ensuring that I nourish my body with what it needs to make it through the rest of the week, including the upcoming fast.

In Norse myth, Nidhogg ("tearer of corpses") is a monstrous serpent that gnaws almost perpetually at the deepest root of the World Tree Yggdrasil, threatening to destroy it. The serpent is always bickering with the eagle that houses in the top of the tree. Nidhogg lies on Nastrond in Niflheim and eats corpses to sustain itself. It is not the only serpent whose task it is to destroy the World Tree; other serpents include Graback, Grafvolluth, Goin and Moin.

New Operator, Name for Idaho Racetrack
Officials in Boise, Idaho have entered into an agreement for Idaho Entertainment to operate Les Bois Park racetrack until December 2013.
Officials in Boise, Idaho have entered into an agreement for Idaho Entertainment to operate Les Bois Park racetrack until December 2013.
As a result of Capitol Racing's decision to cease live and simulcast horse racing at Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho, the Board of Ada County Commissioners has begun the process of searching for parties interested in leasing the 68-acre facility.
Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho, has been approved for a 46-day meet in 2008.
Capitol Racing at Les Bois Park wrapped up its 46-day live racing season Aug. 11 with double-digit increases in on-track attendance and handle.
Idaho Governor James E. Risch will honor Idaho native and three-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Gary Stevens with a proclamation announcing next week as "Gary Stevens Week" across Idaho.
Capitol Racing Association has signed a five-year agreement to manage and operate all live and simulcast horse racing at Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho.
The California State Fair board plans to swap its Thoroughbred meet this summer for harness racing.
Track operator Capitol Racing, which decided to walk away from its harness meet in Sacramento, is moving on – to Idaho and other breeds.
Santa Anita Park isn't waiting for a statewide ban to make its stand against "milkshakes." Starting at its upcoming meet that begins Dec. 26, the Arcadia, Calif., track will test every horse in every race for excess bicarbonate in their bloodstreams.
Magna Entertainment Corp. has expressed it intentions to bid on the lease of Cal Expo in Sacramento, Calif., and take over the 10-month-long Standardbred meet.
Meadowlands in New Jersey will team with Capitol Racing in California on a new Wednesday pick six designed to tie into all wagering outlets in the Golden State, where the bet traditionally has generated the most action.
While business at Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields is off in 2004, the president and chief executive officer of parent company Magna Entertainment Corporation told the California Horse Racing Board on Feb. 19 that the outlook is improving.
The California Horse Racing Board tabled Capitol Racing's harness meet application to conduct its upcoming Sacramento meet Thursday because the association has not paid "impact fees" to compensate Los Alamitos Race Course for overlapping dates when Capitol extended its meeting several years ago.
Capitol Racing and the California Exposition and State Fair reached a two-year agreement July 28, but it's possible the contract for the Standardbred meet at Cal Expo will be put out for bid in the future.
In an effort to fund a winter homeless shelter at Cal Expo in Sacramento, a California lawmaker has proposed a bill that would reopen the bidding on the facility's Standardbred license.
The general manager of California's only Standardbred racing association said it's unfair for harness horsemen to be lumped into the same workers' compensation insurance category as those who race Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses. He called the premiums "outrageous" and said the state needs to take action.

HOUSTON – On Tuesday afternoon, the Houston Dynamo once again lined up and blasted shot after shot on goal during finishing drills.
Now if only those drills could translate into goals on the field of play.
Houston's attack has hit a lull. After starting fast out of the gates, the Dynamo offense has plateaued, with just two goals in the last six games.
"We're just not scoring right now," said Houston head coach Dominic Kinnear. "Rarely does a team go through a season without a stretch like this. You look around the locker room and see you have a lot of quality players in there. You try and remember why you were successful and keep working hard and keep your chin up."
READ: Can Boniek Garcia's return help Houston Dynamo emerge from offensive slump?
The chances continue to be there, but the pressure falls on the guys responsible for putting the ball on frame. Forwards Will Bruin and Giles Barnes formed an unlikely pairing up top that found success early in the 2013 season. In fact, through 10 games the pair amassed eight goals and looked to be a prime mix of creativity and brawn, which was on display in the Dynamo's last win over D.C. United May 8.
Since that game, however, the pair has seen nothing but frustration, but it's not because they're not getting looks.
Barnes and Bruin have both had opportunities – with 41 and 45 chances respectively – and they have tested goalkeepers, combining for 23 shots on goal this season. Here's the crux of the issue: In the last six games, Barnes has taken 12 shots with one on goal to Bruin's 22 with just six on target.
Bruin's seen this happen before. He's battled scoring droughts in each of his first two seasons and come out the other side better for it.
"He's done well getting out of adversity in the past and I think he'll work his way out of this one as well," veteran Dynamo goalscorer Brian Ching said of Bruin. "It's there for him. I think what you try and do with him is stay positive and tell him not to get too hard on yourself because you just make things harder."
The third-year striker has drawn much of the scrutiny for the failures in front of goal. After setting the club's scoring record in 2012 with 16 overall goals, Bruin was expected to build on his breakout year, but it hasn't turned out that way as his finishing has once again gone ice-cold.
READ: Dynamo hope to turn over a new leaf in New York
"He's a top player and you don't become a bad player overnight," winger Andrew Driver said. "I have spoken to him and told him it's going to take a deflection or something hitting you in the face and going in and you're going to get one and start going from there. He doesn't have to worry."
Chasing that goal could lead to a shift in lineup or tactics. Last season Houston looked to jump-start the attack by rotating between a 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 with Bruin finding his most success with partners Ching and Calen Carr. This recent lull begs the question whether the Dynamo should shuffle things up with forwards Omar Cummings, Cam Weaver, Jason Johnson and Ching in the mix.
"As far as shaking the lineup up, it's not something I discuss publicly," Kinnear said. "There are still a lot of good players in the locker room and I don't look in right now and say, 'Guys are playing themselves out of the team.' It's a team that's playing well and not getting results."

Daniel Johnston is feeling better these days. Austin's most infamous and prodigious bipolar songwriter has got a real band, a larger-than-ever following and -- thanks to the wonders of modern psychiatric medicine -- a handle on his own mental demons. He's also got a new album, one that finds him careening through a menagerie of styles like some sort of musically ambidextrous, visionary tramp. The now middle-aged Johnston -- who long ago surpassed his initial curio status by consistently making records that were, by varying degrees, more inspired than those of the "sane" artists of the day -- still relies on many of his familiar themes: The confusion of love and girls, the pros and cons of funerals, the supergoodness of God, the desire both to be understood and to party down. Yet Rejected Unknown is both cleaner and more coherent than the albums that first made Johnston a lo-fi hero and unwitting champion of "outsider" music. It's an impressive effort -- catchy, clever and almost normal sounding. Which is part of why it just isn't quite as much fun.
Technically, this disc marks a return to Johnston's indie roots following a brief and woeful foray into major labeldom: His most recent full-length, Fun, was released on Atlantic and proved that Johnston was too vulnerable to the soul-stripping antics of the music industry's big dogs. Rejected is being released as the premiere offering from New York's Gammon Records. But although Rejected Unknown was recorded with a full band at Johnston's home in Waller, Texas -- as well as in the garage of producer Brian Beattie -- it's clear that as Daniel has matured, so have his technical skills and production values. He now sings pretty much on key; his famous nasal falsetto has all but disappeared. His lyrical non-sequiturs have largely given way to straightforward verses and choruses, with some notable exceptions, like this line from "Party": "Up in the morning with the sunshine/As the drama unfolds/And you may find yourself alone with the MAGIC RADIO." The largely self-taught Johnston demonstrated long ago that pop music flows from him like lava, and Rejected provides a vehicle with which to reconfigure some of his more endearing formulas into songs that range in style from carnivalesque (the horn-laden "Funeral Girl") to lush and ethereal ("Dream Scream") to a bit of Beatles-y blues ("The Spook"). Sweet, earnest and totally lacking in pretense, Johnston pulls it all off like the pro that he's become. More power to ya, DJ.

Longtime fans may pine for Johnston's salad days when -- stowed away with little more than an accordion, an organ or some random toy -- he created songs of pain and joy that brimmed with a brutal honesty and often revealed a kind of accidental wisdom. (There's a veritable bonanza of early recordings now available through emusic.com. Yip, jump!) But there's still plenty of skewed whimsy on Rejected Unknown, like the moment when the delicious, strummy "Devinar" segues, without warning, into the chorus of "Every Breath You Take." Daniel still writes music that comes from a uniquely pure and puzzling place. Now, it's just a little bit easier to tap your toes to it.

As 2007 arrives three of the four major winter leagues have moved into their playoffs as they get ready to settle on the teams for the 50th Caribbean Series. Venezuela will be looking to defend its 2006 title (the country's first in 17 years) when play begins on Feb. 2 in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
The postseason in the Dominican has already begun, as the top four clubs have moved on to an 18-game round robin semifinal tournament. So far into the playoffs, Gigantes and Aguilas are both tied at the top of the standings with 4-1 records.
Angels first baseman Kendry Morales was leading the way for Gigantes' offense through the first five games, hitting .375 with four RBIs. Reds third baseman Edwin Encarnacion was also off to a hot start in the postseason, hitting .444 (8-for-18) for Aguilas.
But Licey first baseman Jose Offerman leads the circuit in hitting during the tournament, hitting .538 (7-for-13). Licey currently sits two games back, while Azucareros has yet to win a game in the round robin.
In the Mexican Pacific League, first-half champion Hermosillo went 41-26 to edge 2005 Caribbean Series champs Mazatlan by two games to finish first in the overall standings.
Along with Hermosillo and Mazatlan; Obregon, Culiacan, Navojoa and Mochis all earned postseason berths. The Mexican Pacific League playoffs start Wednesday with three best-of-7 quarterfinal series.
During the regular season, 42-year-old infielder Ramon Orantes led the league in hitting with a .365 average–while anchoring the Mochis infield at third base. Former big leaguer Ruben Rivera led the league in home runs (21) and RBIs (58), while lefthander Oscar Rivera finished first in ERA (1.51), but was upstaged by Royals Rule 5 pick Joakim Soria–who led the circuit in wins (9) and strikeouts (79) while posting a 2.41 ERA in 79 innings.
In Venezuela, Aragua won the West Division and Magallanes claimed the East Division crown, and will be joined in the playoffs by Zulia–who won the wild card and was also the only other club to finish with a record over .500.
The three clubs will begin play in a 16-game round robin series beginning Wednesday, then the clubs with the top two records meet in a best-of-7 for the championship.
During the regular season, Athletics infielder Marco Scutaro led the league with a .367 average while playing for Zulia, and prospects Wladimir Balentien (Mariners) and Carlos Gonzalez (Diamondbacks) finished with nine home runs apiece.
Giants righthander Chris Begg finished atop the pitching leaders with 4-1, 1.08 numbers in 50 innings. Begg, who signed with the Giants out of the independent Northern League in 2003, went 13-10, 3.40 in 175 innings last year at Double-A Connecticut.
Moving on to the host country of this year's Serie del Caribe, the regular season wraps up Wednesday, with the playoffs beginning over the weekend.
The top four teams advance to the postseason, and currently Mayaguez is leading the league with a 19-14 record. Mickey Negron, who spent the 2006 season between the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks systems, was leading the league with a .441 average and was slugging .645.
Finally, in Nicaragua–which does not participate in Serie del Caribe–Rangers outfielder Jake Blalock is the highest-profile American player currently in the league. Blalock, a fifth-round pick of the Phillies in 2002, was hitting just .202/.358/.323 in 62 at-bats for Chinandega.
Boer outfielder Clyde Williams, who played at independent Atlantic City in 2006, was leading the league with seven homers.
The Nicaraguan League is full of Cuban players, most notably 18-year-old outfielder Ryde Rodriguez, who has yet to sign with a major league club. Rodriguez is reportedly expected to command a signing bonus in the $1 million range, but his performance hasn't helped his cause much so far.
Sidelined by nagging hamstring injuries, Rodriguez was hitting .269/.387/.346 in just 26 at-bats.
Rodriguez's teammate Danilo Alvarez recently signed with the Braves for $100,000 and was 0-0, 2.61 in 10 innings.

What is a campus associate appointment?
Campus Associate appointments are used primarily to allow access for independent contractors to campus buildings (requiring key access), and other UO services needed for them to perform the agreed work. These include individuals associated with the UO to perform work on a short term or ongoing basis independently and are not employees, examples include the UO Bookstore, ROTC instructors, etc. This appointment is not intended for the sole purpose to provide a UO email address. To request a campus associate appointment, submit an Unpaid Appointment Form (UAF)
What is a courtesy appointment?
Courtesy faculty appointments may be offered to persons who visit the university from other institutions or work outside the university and who contribute without compensation to a department's program. Courtesy appointments are allowed for one year at a time and should normally cycle with the academic or fiscal year. The position number is BUOXCO for faculty and researchers and BUOXPD for postdoctoral fellows. More information on unpaid appointments can be found on the Banner Guide.
New Appointment
To request that a new courtesy appointment be offered, the department submits an Unpaid Appointment Form (UAF), indicating that a courtesy appointment is requested. Academic rank is required. The rank should be commensurate with the visitor's academic qualifications, present rank, and expected duties or activities. In the "Remarks" section, or by a separate memo, a statement should be provided outlining in detail the individual's proposed service to or connection with the department or division and university.
The name of the faculty sponsor or supervisor is required.
The department uploads a current vita or resume (no more than 3 years old).
With the approval and signature of the department head or supervisor, and the dean or director, the UAF and attachment are routed electronically to Human Resources-Operations. If the request is approved, either the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs or the Vice President for Research will email a letter to the visitor extending the courtesy appointment.
Renewal Appointment
Each year, Human Resources will send each unit a list of active courtesy appointments by the beginning of May. The unit will be asked to indicate appointments to be terminated and which are to be renewed. This list will be reviewed and approved by the Senior Vice Provost of Academic Affairs or the Vice President for Research. Units will be notified of these approvals and are encouraged to send renewal notices via letter or email.
New courtesy appointments and renewals requiring a letter for Visa purposes will still be processed using the Unpaid Appointment Form (UAF).
Review the Renewal Process for Courtesy Appointments guidelines for more details.
UO Services for Courtesy Appointments
Individuals who have a courtesy faculty appointment will be issued a picture ID card by the UO Card Office. The following services will be available to them:
- Library privileges.
- An email account. Contact the Computing Center to set up the account.
- The right to purchase a parking permit for the lots designated for Faculty/Staff.
- The right to rent a locker and use a variety of indoor and outdoor recreational facilities available throughout campus.
It is important that individuals being granted a courtesy appointment are made aware that requests for these privileges cannot be processed until the individual's courtesy appointment is in BANNER.
A postdoctoral fellow on an independent research fellowship who receives a stipend through the Business Office is eligible to participate on a voluntary basis in the medical and dental insurance plans offered to faculty. The appointing department should inform any Courtesy Postdoctoral Research Associate who wants to enroll in the medical and dental plans to contact Employee Benefits, ext. 6-3086.

Anthony Calvillo can't help but laugh at the concept of the tough questions he'll be forced to face this week.
They'll be about rest versus rust, about not having played in three weeks.
They'll be about the pressure of having to win this weekend to get the Alouettes into next week's Grey Cup game in Montreal or having Ricky Ray and the Edmonton Eskimos move into their dressing room Grey Cup week.
Last year, the questions were tougher.
Would his wife Alexia live?
Would he be left raising two kids, including a newborn baby girl, on his own?
Would he ever play football again?
Last year, Calvillo had left the Alouettes without his services as they went down the stretch and into the playoffs.
This year, the Montreal quarterback came back, had as good a season as he's ever had and is about to collect the hardware as the CFL's most outstanding player.
Far more than any other player on either team, 36-year-old Anthony Calvillo has his name on this game before the opening kickoff.
"I feel blessed," said A.C., returning my call yesterday prior to Alouettes team meetings to begin preparations to play Edmonton in the Eastern final while the Eskimos were meeting here, mostly trying to figure out a way to stop Anthony Calvillo.
"I had the bye week to think about where we are as a family compared to where we were last year," he said. "My wife and I were talking about it, about how fortunate we are to be in this situation, not only in football but in our own personal lives."
Calvillo didn't feel so blessed last year.
"One week after our daughter Olivia was born on Oct. 15, they were doing some tests and discovered that my wife had a massive tumour in her chest. Hearing that news at the hospital was devastating with not knowing what it meant for her and now having two kids at home. It was the toughest thing she and our entire family has had to go through."
Having to leave his football family in the most important stretch of the season wasn't something that required any thought, he said.
"Once we found out the news, that my wife had cancer, I told the Alouettes, 'I can't come back right now.' My main concern was my wife, our new baby and our daughter Athena. At that moment, football didn't matter to me."
It wasn't that he was abandoning the Alouettes. To keep playing football would have been to abandon his family.
The response from the football family blew him away.
"People talk of football teams as family but I always thought of that as lip service," said Calvillo. "And I never realized there was such a thing as the CFL family, at least not like it was revealed to us.
"It was overwhelming, truly overwhelming. We received support messages, more than 2,000 of them from throughout Canada. We read every single one. They all took football out of the equation."
Calvillo stayed at home the entire time.
"I was the one who got up all through the night with the baby, but my wife's family, from here in Montreal, were over living with us. We all wanted to make sure she got all the rest in the world.
"She's done all the chemo and radiation. She's doing excellent."
Calvillo is headed into the playoffs experiencing the joy of football like never before.
"My intention was always that I wanted to come back and get back to life. My wife wanted us to be looking forward to more than her next chemotherapy treatment. But I wanted to be mentally able to handle the situation if she had to go back to the hospital."
Having all that time in the off-season to think resulted in Calvillo coming back with a different perspective.
"This was the first year I really took everything to heart. Now I know all the records and where I stand. Before, I wouldn't think about it. Now I'm thankful. I knew how close I was to not coming back."
He also thought about Grey Cups.
He's been in five Grey Cup games in the 2000s winning only one of them.
"Without a doubt, one of the things I've been thinking about is 'How many more chances am I going to get?' "
Calvillo doesn't know the answer to that. But he knows the answer to the question: How many chances will he get to play one in Montreal?
"This opportunity isn't likely to come around again. I have to take advantage of this."
It seems such a shame the Eskimos, who have managed to beat Montreal in eight of 11 Grey Cup games, are headed to Montreal intent on taking that opportunity away from him like they have twice before, including the heartbreaker in double overtime in 2005. Then again, that one Grey Cup he did win was against the Eskimos in Commonwealth Stadium.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department reports an 8-year-old girl was abducted from her Carmichael home early Sunday morning, but was able to return home safely.
The incident was on the 5000 block of Adelaide Way about 3 a.m. Sheriff's spokesperson Sgt. Lisa Bowman said a man entered the girl's home through an unlocked door and forced her to go with him to a wooded area nearby.
"She was taken while she was asleep," the victim's mother, who did not want to be identified, said.
"She didn't realize what was happening until she was out the door," she added.
While in the wooded area, the suspect released the girl, and she ran back home without serious injury.
The kidnapper was described as white in his late teens or early 20s. He had short brown hair combed back and dark brown eyes. He was 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall and weighed between 120 and 160 pounds.
The girl, who is in h the third grade, described the abductor as clean-shaven with acne marks that were healing. He wore a black shirt and blue jeans.
"Take extra caution, lock your doors and check on your kids a couple of extra times," the victim's mother said.
Anyone with information about this incident or who may recognize the individual shown in the accompanying composite sketch was asked to contact sheriff's detectives at (916) 874-5115. Tips may also be left at the sheriff's website, by texting to 274637 (CRIMES) and entering the keyword SSD, or at (916) 874-TIPS (8477).
