Site Studio Contributor provides numerous options for editing the web pages of your Web site. It offers an editing environment that looks a lot like a word-processing application and provides most of the commonly used word-processing functions. You can write text, format it, add images, create tables, and much more.
The available options may vary from one web page to another, and from one Web site to another, depending on how the site designer set up the site. Working in Contributor, you might be working in one or several editing areas, each one used to add and edit bits of content. The available editing options in each area may vary as well, depending on what the site designer made available.
Note:By default, the editor used with Site Studio Contributor is based on FCKeditor. This guide assumes the use of this default editor. Your content server administrator may have chosen to set up an alternative editor. If that is the case, your editing environment may look slightly different than shown in this guide. Also, there may be minor differences in the editing experience (for example, some editing features may not be available or work slightly differently).
This section covers the following topics:
Further information regarding specific areas of editing can be found in following sections:
The site designer can make particular areas on a Web site available to site contributors (the 'contribution regions'), so they can edit or update the content in these contribution regions. The first step to edit or update content on a web page is to open that page in contribution mode. This is done by pressing a special key combination while viewing the web page in a web browser. The default key combination is Ctrl+Shift+F5, but the site administrator may have set up a different combination. Contact your site designer or administrator if you are not sure what key combination to use to activate contribution mode.
When you press the assigned key combination, you may be prompted for your login credentials (user name and password) to connect to the content server that the Web site resides on. After you log on, the Contributor application is launched and the page is displayed in contribution mode (see "Contribution Mode"). Please note that pressing the special key combination is the only way to launch the Contributor application; you cannot launch it from the Windows desktop or the Start menu.
After you press the correct key combination (Ctrl+Shift+F5 by default), the web page is displayed in contribution mode. You see two changes in your web browser: the page now has a Contribution Mode bar at the top (Figure 2-1) with one or more options for the web page as a whole, and the page includes several contribution graphics, one for each of the contribution regions (that is, the areas on the web page that can be edited) (Figure 2-2). See "Contribution Graphic" for more information on the contribution graphic.
Figure 2-1 Contribution Mode Bar
Figure 2-2 Contribution Graphic
Editing the Contribution Region
To edit the selected contribution region, click its edit icon, or click the menu icon and choose the Edit option. The Contributor editor then opens in a browser popup window, and you can start editing the content in that contribution region. Please note that this browser popup window may be suppressed by popup-blocking software, so you must configure that software to allow pop-ups on your site. Also, when the Contributor editor opens, the web browser displaying the original web page becomes temporarily unavailable. You can return to the web browser when you close the Contributor editor.
Important:The Contributor editor may show more editable data segments than are actually displayed in the contribution region being edited. This is because the current display definition for the contribution region may have been set up to use only a portion of the data file associated with it. The other information may be used elsewhere on the Web site, so editing that information may affect other pages on the site.
Once you are done editing and save the contributor data file, the Web site is automatically updated to reflect the changes.
Design mode is used to allow some functions of Site Studio Designer to be accessible through Contributor. Since design mode is only made available for certain, specific roles, it is not typically used or accessible by contributors.
Design mode does not allow you to edit the data file. Design mode does let the user edit, add, and delete placeholders, region templates and subtemplates, data files, and even placeholder definitions. A designer can set up a contributor to change the region template or data file, but in those cases the contributor is limited to the templates and data files determined by the designer. Those users with design mode access can select site assets without being limited in the search. It is also possible to work with the replaceable regions while in design mode.
Users in design mode cannot edit or modify site assets. Changes to the data file itself cannot be made; that is done in contribution mode. Additionally, the region templates, placeholder definitions, and other site assets themselves cannot have any of their properties changed via design mode; they can only be added, replaced or removed. Placeholders can be modified, however.
For more information on design mode, see the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Site Studio Designer.
With a web page in contribution mode (see "Contribution Mode"), each editable contribution region on the page has a contribution graphic (Figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3 Contribution Graphic
The contribution graphic shows (from left to right) the name of the contribution region, a status/edit icon, and a menu icon. If you hover your mouse cursor over a contribution graphic, its associated contribution region is marked in a yellow box. This is the content that can be edited using the selected contribution graphic.
The contribution graphic may include the following icons, depending on the status of its associated contribution region:
|This icon means that you can change the content file assigned to the contribution region. The site designer controls what kinds of files you can assign (contributor data files, native documents, local files, files on the content server). If you click this icon, the Switch Content wizard is launched (see "Switch Content Wizard"), which enables you to switch the content file assigned to the contribution region.
|This icon means that the contribution region currently has no content file assigned to it. If you click this icon, the Switch Content wizard is launched (see "Switch Content Wizard"), which enables you to assign a new or existing content file to the contribution region.
|This icon means that none of the situations above apply and the contribution region can be edited. Click to start editing the file (contributor data file or native document) associated with the contribution region. See Chapter 3, "Editing Web Pages in Contributor" for more information.
|This icon means that the content of the contribution region is currently in a workflow. See Chapter 12, "Working With Workflows" for more information.
|Click this icon to see a menu of context-sensitive options.
After you choose to edit a contribution region on a web page, the Contributor editor launches in a browser popup window (Figure 2-4), and you can start editing the content in the current contribution region. Please note that this browser popup window may be suppressed by popup-blocking software, so you must configure that software to allow pop-ups on your site. Also, when the Contributor editor opens, the web browser displaying the original web page becomes temporarily unavailable. You can return to the web browser when you close the Contributor editor.
Figure 2-4 Contributor Editor Window (FCKeditor)
The Contributor interface is very similar to the interface of a word processing program. You can add, remove, and edit text, images, hyperlinks, and more. There is even a list option that enables you to manage simple or complex lists. The appearance and behavior of Contributor varies depending on how each contribution region and associated elements were set up by the site designer.
The main editor window contains various elements:
Data file, which shows the content ID of the data file associated with the editable contribution region on the content server.
Elements tab, which provides the editing environment for all elements in the contribution region. Please note that all elements in the associated Region Definition file are shown.
Metadata tab, which shows the content information (metadata) for the data file associated with the editable contribution region (only if the site designer opted to make the metadata available for the contribution region).
Contribution toolbar, which provides a set of functions that apply to the contribution region as a whole. You can save or preview the data changes, refresh the current view, open a usage report for the data file, and view the changes made to the web page. See "Contribution Toolbar" for more information.
One or more editing areas, one for each element in the Region Definition file associated with the contribution region on the page. These editing areas are where you type in your text and format your document. See "Element Editing Areas" for more information.
Element toolbars in the editing areas, which provide editing functionality relevant to the type of content you are editing. The site designer controls what editing options are available for each element type. See "Element Toolbars" for more information.
The contribution toolbar is provided at the top of the Contributor editor window (see "Contributor Editor Window"). It provides a set of functions that apply to contribution regions as a whole.
Each toolbar option is described below:
|Toolbar Option
|Previews the content as it will appear in a web browser.
|Removes the changes made since you last clicked the Save and Close icon.
|Opens a report that you can use to see where this data file is used on the Web site (and other sites in the content server). See Chapter 11, "Working With Site Reports" for more information.
|Opens a browser window that shows the differences between the unsaved version of the data file you are working on and the saved one on the content server. See "Comparing Different Versions of a Web Page" for more information.
|Save and Close
|Saves the changes made in Contributor and closes the Contributor window.
|Cancels all changes made in Contributor and closes the Contributor window. If there are unsaved changes, a dialog verifying this opens before changes are canceled.
The Contributor editor window (see "Contributor Editor Window") has one or more editing areas, one for each element in the data file associated with the current contribution region on the web page (or more specifically, its display definition) (see Figure 2-6). Please note that the Contributor editor may show more editable data elements than are actually displayed in the contribution region being edited. This is because the current display definition for the contribution region may have been set up to use only a portion of the data file associated with it. The other information may be used elsewhere on the Web site, so editing that information may affect other pages on the site.
Figure 2-6 Element Editing Area (Expanded)
If on-demand editing has been enabled for the Web site, then a preview of the content of each element will be displayed. As you move the mouse cursor over each element, it will highlight in yellow. Each element must be clicked to begin editing.
Each editing area has the element title at the top, one or more toolbars (see "Element Toolbars"), and the content area (where you type in your text and format your document). Each separate element in the contributor data file has its own editing area. If there is a red ball in the top-right corner of an editing area (Figure 2-7), then the site designer has marked this element as required, which means that the editable contribution region must have associated content (that is, it cannot be empty).
If you hover your mouse cursor over the element title, a tooltip appears which shows additional information about the element, as specified by the site designer (if available).
You can use the plus or minus symbol next to the element title to expand or collapse its editing area (Figure 2-8).
Figure 2-8 Element Editing Area (Collapsed)
You can also use the resize handle symbol below an editing area (Figure 2-9) and drag it to change the height of the area.
You can navigate and work with the contents of an editing area in much the same way as in most other text editors using the customary key combinations and mouse movements. Each editing area also has one or more toolbars (see "Element Toolbars"). In addition, you can use your right mouse button in the editing area to see a menu of context-specific options.
This section covers the following topics:
Each editing area in the Contributor editor has one or more toolbars that provide several editing options for the element in that area. The site designer decides what editing options are available for each specific element type. Some element types, such as plain-text elements, may have very limited options, whereas WYSIWYG elements typically have a full set of editing features (including advanced text formatting, images, tables, hyperlinks, and the like). Many of the toolbar options are very similar to those of a word-processing application such as Microsoft Word, and are easily recognizable. You can format text and images; cut, copy, and paste content; create lists and tables; and so on.
You can use the arrows on the left of the toolbar area to expand or collapse the element toolbars (Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-11).
Figure 2-10 Element Toolbar (Expanded)
Figure 2-11 Element Toolbar (Collapsed)
To use a toolbar function, place your cursor in the editing area where you would like to perform a task, such as formatting text, and then click the desired icon in the toolbar. Or, highlight the text first and then click an icon in the toolbar to format that text.
The element toolbars may offer the following functions, depending on the element type and what the site designer chose to make available:

Bill Schuette secures conviction of former MSP lieutenant
Luke Davis Pleads No Contest to Criminal Charge, Will No Longer Be Able to Serve in Law Enforcement
LANSING – Attorney General Bill Schuette announced Tuesday that his Public Integrity Unit (PIU) has secured the conviction of Luke Davis, 50, of Monroe, former Michigan State Police Lieutenant, who pleaded no contest to one count of Racketeering, a 20 year felony, before Monroe County's 38th Circuit Court Chief Judge Michael W. LaBeau on May 13, 2013. Davis' felony conviction will result in the permanent revocation of his MCOLES certification, consequently ending his career in law enforcement.
"Law enforcement officials who abuse their position for personal gain dangerously undermine public safety for everyone," said Schuette. "No matter your title, if you break the law, there are consequences, and we will hold corrupt officials accountable."
"I am pleased Attorney General Bill Schuette was able to secure these convictions and that justice has been served," said Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. "Now that all three men will be held responsible for their criminal behavior, we can finally close the chapter on this lengthy investigation."
Davis was charged in February 2011 for coordinating an extensive scheme to systematically embezzle property and money seized from suspects from March 2006 to December 2008. Emmanuel Riopelle, former Michigan State Police Lt., 44, of Grosse Ile and Monroe County resident Lawrence Dusseau, 44, were also charged in February 2011 for their roles in the scheme. On March 26, 2013, Lawrence Dusseau pleaded guilty to two counts of Title Jumping to avoid the State Use Tax, a five-year felony. Dusseau's sentencing is set for May 30, 2013. Riopelle pleaded no contest to one count of Misconduct in Office, a five year felony, on May 13, 2013 before Monroe County's 38th Circuit Court Chief Judge Michael W. LaBeau. Riopelle will be sentenced on July 11, 2013 at 1:15 p.m before Judge LaBeau. Davis faces sentencing before Judge LaBeau on August 8, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
The alleged embezzlement was uncovered by the MSP following a Nov. 28, 2008 complaint from a suspect alleging Davis stole property from his home. An MSP search of Davis' home on Dec. 4, 2008 revealed the stolen property, as well as Vicodin, Oxycotin, steroids, a wall covered with a large quantity of men's and women's jewelry, 30 designer purses, 22 cell phones, computers, televisions, motorcycles, and a golf cart, among other property.
Subsequent investigation revealed Davis allegedly developed a system of embezzling seized property from the OMNI unit he commanded. According to MSP policy, seized property is to be sold at public auction, put to official use, or destroyed. However, in March 2006, Davis with the help of Riopelle and Dusseau, began diverting some property for his own use or giving it away rather than selling it at auction. It is also alleged Davis used Dusseau as a "straw buyer" at the auctions, falsifying receipts to show Dusseau purchased the property at auction, but Dusseau would later sell the property to a third party and then split the profits with Davis. Embezzled items included flat-screen televisions, designer purses, furniture, cell phones, automobiles and electronics.
Upon issuance of the charges, Davis and Riopelle were placed on unpaid suspension.

Teenage Jewish boys dressed as gorillas or past presidents dance in the streets. Younger boys wear costumes and masks identifying them as either Mordechai or Haman or Achashverosh. And of course, every little girl is dressed up in a Queen Esther masquerade. Once again we are celebrating the supremely joyous festival of Purim – but why all the masquerades?
The very name of this festival – Purim – also leads us to ask: What does this mean, and what is its significance? The Megillah tells us that the name derives from Haman's having thrown lots, purim, to determine the fate of the Jewish people. This seems very perplexing. Why is this festival, which celebrates the miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people from the threat of total annihilation, named for a seemingly minor detail like the casting of lots?
Further on in the Megillah (9:27) we read, "The Jews upheld and accepted upon themselves, and on their offspring and all their adherents." Our Sages infer from the words "the Jews upheld and accepted upon themselves" that "the Jews upheld what they had previously accepted." The Jewish people had stood at Mount Sinai a thousand years before, and they had accepted the Torah directly from Hashem. But there had always been a small element of reservation in their commitment to the Torah. In the aftermath of the miracle of Purim, however, they cast all their earlier reservations to the winds and reaffirmed their acceptance of the Torah in a new spirit of love and enthusiasm. What was so significant about the miracle of Purim that it inspired such an outpouring of love for Hashem, even more so than at the spectacular revelations at Mount Sinai?
The answer lies in the very ordinariness of the miracle of Purim. There were no splitting seas, no smoking mountains, no thunder and lightning, no celestial visions or manifestations. There was only the hand of the Creator micromanaging events down to the smallest detail, manipulating the affairs of state in Persia to bring about the deliverance of His chosen people in a seemingly natural manner. The divine providence was concealed but exceedingly active and this inspired a spontaneous outpouring of love from the Jewish people. Why?
Let us consider for a moment the following two scenarios: A poor man knocks on a rich man's door and asks for a meal. "Come in," says the rich man. "Have a seat. You'll have something good to eat in a few minutes." He then calls the finest restaurant in town and orders the most expensive meal on the menu. He puts a rush on the order and tells the restaurant to charge it to American Express. Another day, the same poor man knocks on the same rich man's door and asks for a meal once again. This time, the rich man invites him into the kitchen and asks him to take a seat. He peels fresh vegetables to make a pot of soup. He puts up a steak to broil and prepares several delicious side dishes. Then he takes out a fresh loaf of warm bread and slices it. When all the preparations are done, he places the meal in front of the poor man.
In which case does the poor man feel better, more esteemed, more loved? Without question, it is in the second case. By taking the trouble to attend to all the details himself, the rich man shows his affection and concern for the poor man. And the poor man, in turn, is inspired to feel a much stronger gratitude and affection for his benefactor.
Hashem could quite easily have sent down lightning bolts from the heavens to strike down Haman and all the other oppressors of the Jewish people. But instead, He chose to take the trouble, so to speak, of manipulating ordinary events to effect their miraculous deliverance. The Jewish people were stunned by the Creator's display of transcendent love for His people, and in turn, they were inspired to respond with their own outpouring of love and a renewed acceptance of the Torah without any reservations whatsoever.
This is the significance of the purim, the lots. Lots represent randomness and unpredictability. They are a denial of divine providence in the smallest details of life. Haman's denial of Hashem was manifest in his reliance on lots, and this gave him the audacity to attempt to destroy the Jewish people. But by their miraculous deliverance, the Jewish people saw the hand of Hashem in the very smallest details, and this realization was established at the heart of the celebrations for all future time.
For this reason, as well, many of the traditions of Purim symbolize concealment – the masquerades, the sweet cores of the hamantaschen. No matter how bleak things may appear on the outside, we can rest assured that underneath the hand of Hashem is guiding everything with divine wisdom and benevolence.

A success story in the recent past has been the growth of the Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition. Originally a class in the instrumental section, the Competition is now a world class event for aspiring young concert pianists aged 16-30.
The Competition is now held biennially in Hastings and offers the people of the town and surrounding area a unique opportunity to hear music of the highest quality. In 2019 over 170 pianists from 29 different countries entered the competition, auditioning in China, Japan, USA and Italy as well as in the UK. 45 were chosen, competing in Hastings in 4 rounds over 10 days in front of a panel of distinguished international judges. The 6 finalists each played a concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and the winner, Fumiya Koido from Japan, received a £15,000 cash prize and professional engagements in the UK and abroad, including two concerts with the RPO.
There is enormous benefit to the contestants who play in Hastings and a boost to their professional career. They have the opportunity to receive feedback from some of the best performers and teachers in the world, and if they are prize winners there are financial rewards and professional engagements. Overall this is a world class event taking place on a local stage.
In 2020, Hastings International Piano will be launching the first Hastings International Piano Festival- more details coming soon.
The Competition returns in 2021.

Memorial Day traditionally means picnics, barbecues, and parades. We're no exception in our house- we've got picnics planned, and I'll be marching with my Daisy Scouts come Monday morning. The first place I head for when I have to grab supplies for cookouts is BJ's- I can get some great deals for my money and have enough to feed everyone!
We love the produce at BJ's. I'm so happy to see watermelons coming in, because it means summer is finally HERE!! We also eat a ton of fruit in my house, so having the chance to buy in bulk helps me save myself multiple trips to the store per week.
These strawberries were purchased Monday morning by me. It's Thursday morning- they are gone. The kids and Mr. Bargains devoured them. Guess I'm heading back to the store for one more package of these before the weekend!
Sunscreen and bug repelling products are a MUST in our yard!! I'm thinking we may try the clip on products this year.
This party cooler is great! I'd love to have it for my patio (and someday, my pool deck…)
These gazebos are so pretty. I'd love one, to offer some shade, and I feel like you could make a romantic table setting under one of these, with candles lit and some pretty glasses?!
Tons of choices for your BBQ grill cooking- burger meat, hot dogs, ribs, pork chops- and a family favorite, the bacon cheddar chicken burgers (they are delicious!)
I didn't realize before Monday that there was charcoal available at BJ's as well. My brother Tony prefers to use a charcoal grill so he'd be glad to see that for sure!
You really can find everything you may need for your cookout- cookbooks, charcoal, propane tanks, even the grill itself!!
Don't forget about AFTER dinner when you're at BJ's! What's more fun than some S'Mores after the sun goes down- and maybe some glow sticks? My kids could use glow sticks every single day of the year if we let them.
BJ's would like to send one of my readers a $25 BJ's Gift Card to get some supplies for YOUR cookout this holiday weekend!
To enter, simply leave a comment below with your name. That's it. This giveaway will end at 5pm EST TODAY May 24, 2012. I'll draw a winner and they'll have 24 hours to respond or a new winner will be drawn. Winner to be chosen randomly.
I received a gift card to purchase some groceries at BJ's to check out their Memorial Day offerings. Opinions are my own.

Everyone has seen the horror movies and heard the campfire tales, but not everyone has a true ghost story. We tracked down a pair of true and unpublished haunted house stories for your scaring pleasure. (The ghost stories are from actual friends of mine. These are true, first-person accounts, not hearsay.) We also offer a travel guide to four of the most haunted homes in the United States.
Not alone in the studio apartment
When Heather Douglass was 21, she rented a studio apartment in Fox River Grove, Ill. She thought she was living alone, but was soon convinced otherwise. Douglass and her friends and neighbors all heard strange noises and saw and felt strange things in a small room off the kitchen.
The studio was in a block of apartments above a row of shops. The building, which still stands today, is at least 120 years old and is built on the site of an old farm where a farmer allegedly killed his family.
Douglass is unsure if that farmer's family still haunts the place, but she said the small room, which she used for storage, was always cold, even in the punishing Illinois summer heat.
Items she stored in the room would disappear, and her dog refused to enter the chilly, haunted space. Douglass said she always felt someone watching her, and heard banging and other strange noises from the room. Neighbors would even tell her to quiet down and stop the banging when she wasn't making any noise.
Douglass saw a ghost only once — she and a friend both saw a ghostly white man dressed in all black sitting at the kitchen table. He clearly said, "get out." Shortly thereafter, she did get out. She gave her notice and left within two weeks, after slightly less than a year in the apartment.
The landlord asked why she was breaking her lease, and Douglass hesitated. According to Douglass, the landlord said, "I think I know why," despite not having mentioned anything spooky about the place when she first rented it.
A haunted farmhouse
Brandon Geer has never seen a ghost, but his family has had plenty of strange experiences at his family's farm in Belle Plain, Kansas.
The farmhouse was built in the late 1920s, and Geer knows of at least one death in the home — his grandmother's little sister died in the farmhouse as a young child.
Geer said his mother, aunt and other relatives were always scared to spend the night at the farmhouse, and regularly heard the sound of chains dragging across the attic floor. Brandon and his sisters were scared to sleep alone in the house, so they would all spread out sleeping bags at the foot of their grandparents' bed.
Geer said his dog, Reuben, was spooked by the place. He took Reuben out to the farm to get "some country time," and because he didn't want to be in the farmhouse alone. While filling Reuben's bowl, the dog suddenly whipped his head around and looked upward with large, scared eyes.
More recently, Geer's aunt went to check on the empty house and water the plants. When she was getting back in her car to leave, she felt someone watching her, and turned around to see an upstairs curtain fall back into place after being lifted by a seemingly invisible hand in a house she had just left empty.
In another incident, Geer's cousin clearly heard somebody opening the nightstand drawer where he was stashing a handgun he took to the house for protection.
Belle Plain must be a welcoming place for ghosts, as Geer also heard a story of another man who lived on a farm about a mile south of Geer's family farmhouse. This man saw two ghosts at the same time — both dressed in 1890s clothes. He saw one man standing on the lawn and watching him through an upstairs window. When he turned around, he then saw a woman inside the room.
Four more haunted houses
To see some haunts for yourself, check out "The Field Guide to North American Hauntings" by W. Haden Blackman. The book lists the 15 most haunted sites in North America, including these four houses, which are all open to the public.
• The LaLaurie House is a French Quarter landmark in New Orleans. It is reportedly haunted by the ghosts of up to 25 slaves and servants, along with the deranged and murderous ghost of Madame Delphine Macarty LaLaurie, who built the home in 1832. Passersby say they hear shrieks and screams from the house. Several French Quarter ghost tours include a peek inside the home and a chance to see LaLaurie's ghost. However, Blackman warns "only experienced ghost hunters should attempt to establish any form of communication with this spirit, whose evil nature cannot be ignored."
• The Spy House in Port Monmouth, N.J., is haunted by at least 24 specters, including the pirate Captain Morgan, Lord Charles Cornwallis and several playful children. The building has more than 350 years of history as a home to pirates and colonists alike, and has been a tavern, inn, bordello and more. It is now a museum, and Blackman quotes ghost hunter Arthur Myers calling the Spy House "one of the most haunted places I have ever visited or heard about."
• The Whaley House in San Diego is haunted by the reportedly pleasant but restless Whaley family and some neighbors, including children and a family dog. A thief who was hanged at the site also haunts the home. The home is currently a museum.
• The White House (yes, that White House) in Washington is widely believed to be haunted by former presidents and relatives who don't want to leave the world's most famous address. The L.A. Times reported that Michelle Obama experienced supernatural happenings at the White House. Former resident Hillary Rodham Clinton said, "There is something about the house at night that you just feel like you are summoning up the spirits of all the people who have lived there and worked there and walked through the halls there."
Many, most notably Lady Bird Johnson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Winston Churchill have seen or felt the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Abigail Adams is known to haunt the East Room, and William Henry Harrison is often heard in the attic. Portions of the White House are open for tours, but many of the haunted areas are off-limits.
The other "most haunted" sites include ships, cemeteries, prisons and theaters, as well as Highway 666 in the southwestern United States, and Salem, Mass.

One they build the libcrypto incorrectly. I tried to figure out how to report a bug to them, but to no avail.
At Red Hat we build the libcrypto library in openssl with the following qualifiers.
./Configure \
--prefix=%{_prefix} --openssldir=%{_sysconfdir}/pki/tls ${sslflags} \
zlib no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-ec no-ecdh no-ecdsa shared \
--with-krb5-flavor=MIT --enginesdir=%{_libdir}/openssl/engines \
-I%{_prefix}/kerberos/include -L%{_prefix}/kerberos/%{_lib} \
# Add -Wa,--noexecstack here so that libcrypto's assembler modules will be
# marked as not requiring an executable stack.
RPM_OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -Wa,--noexecstack"
make depend
make all build-shared
This eliminates the execstack flag on the shared library. Obviously google does not do this. If anyone
can figure out how to send in a bug report please do.
So this causes an execstack failure in Rawhide, or if you do not have the allow_execstack boolean set.
You can execute
execstack -c /usr/local/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
To clear the flag and eliminate the problem.
This tool seems to use realplayer also which seems to require execmem, if you have the allow_execmem flag
turned off you can execute
chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin
So that it will be allowed to execmem.
I am updating policy to define this file context.
This allowed me to run google-earth with SELinux in enforcing mode. (Of course the application hung my XServer after a few minutes,
but I don't believe this was a SELinux problem. YMMV)

Additional Series Box Extras
Friday, 16 September 2005 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
We've received several reports about additional extras for the Series One Boxed Set, due out this November containing all 13 episodes from series one of the new TV series starring Christopher Eccleston. According to the British Board of Film Classification, the "Doctor Who Confidential Cut Down" specials -- the BBC3 documentaries shortened by removing all references to the original series and focusing solely on the new -- will be included, though the BBFC only reports the first seven have been cleared; however, it was reported earlier that all thirteen plus one additional special, that of the "extra" Confidnetial episode being specially produced for the DVD, would be on the discs. Amazon.co.uk, meanwhile, is reporting additional extras including commentaries, "Billie PiperÆs Video Diary," "Making Doctor Who with Russell T Davies," "Waking The Dead (Mark Gatiss' video diary)," "Exclusive featurettes: Destroying the Lair; Mike TuckerÆs Mocks of Balloons; Designing Doctor Who,; Laying Ghosts û The Origins of The Unquiet Dead; Deconstructing Big Ben, The Adventures of Captain Jack"; "BBC Breakfast Interview with Christopher Eccleston" plus the Confidential specials, 5.1 surround sound, a collectors' booklet and subtitles. Additionally, the boxed set will feature a variety of pre- and post-broadcast trailers including the "Time Is Up" teasers, the "Saturdays at 7pm" series of trailers, the trailers aired in conjunction with "Strictly Come Dancing" and the "Countdown" trailer. Outpost Gallifrey has been told that there will be an official press release on the set's final contents later this month.

Natasha Barnes is a South African artist, born in 1969.
She has been painting since the age of seven. Her natural talent and pure passion for painting has led this self-taught artist to develop a profound style, exhibiting unique expressionism, colour and movement. Her paintings are inspirations found in her travels and her love for the rich African landscapes surrounding her life.
Apart from a few art lessons as a child, Natasha has had no formal art training. After completing school, she studied Cordon Bleu cookery and worked as a cookery editor and food stylist for a leading South African Magazine, before opening her own cookery school. Her love for the brush finally led to the decision to give up everything and paint professionally.
Natasha works in Acrylic and Mixed media and her endless inspiration is absorbed through the mind and transferred to the canvas without looking at the subject.
Her work is exhibited extensively internationally and can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide. Natasha is considered to be one of Africa's most published artists and will soon be adding Published author to that title, her book, A Journey of food is due for release in September 2014.
"I am consumed by painting. The moment I enter into my creative space a world different to the one now present emerges and I live in her embrace for those hours in front of my canvas. I work at speed and without interruption - believing that every brushstroke is a Journey, sometimes we get lost, if we didn't the end would always be the same"

Professional and friendly service
Custom dance and athletic apparel in our Shop
We offer over 350 classes weekly, taught by some of the world's most renowned teachers and choreographers. Our continued dedication to the international dance community, state-of-the-art studios, and our location in the heart of the New York City Theater District make us the ultimate destination for dancers around the globe.
Broadway Dance Center's rich history starts in New York City in the early 1980s, when dancers flocked to NYC to train and vie for a spot on the fabled Broadway stages. The unitards roamed free and shows like A Chorus Line and Cats created a new niche for beautifully trained dancers. Choreographers like Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse, and Jerome Robbins were creating brilliance on stage, while teachers like Luigi, Jamie Rogers, Henry LeTang, Phil Black, David Howard, and Frank Hatchett were preparing dancers to become the versatile and technical performers needed for these great choreographers. With the emergence of MTV and the music video era, even more dancers came to train in NYC, and BDC evolved to become the one-stop shop for dancers of all levels, styles, and dreams.
Business-owner and avid dance fan Richard Ellner assumed ownership of Hines-Hatchett Dance Studio located at 1733 Broadway (corner of Broadway and 55th Street), renaming it Broadway Dance Center. He then set out to create a studio that would provide a true home for teachers and dancers. Each instructor was carefully selected and encouraged to contribute his or her personal style and expertise. Students converged in droves to enjoy the convenience of attending one studio for diversified training rather than having to travel throughout the city. In the early years, renowned teachers joined BDC's faculty and solidified the studio's standing in the dance community. Word of the studio quickly spread and brought students from around the globe. Mr. Ellner's dream to share the joy of dance with everyone brought recreational dancers and professionals together beautifully in their mutual love. Over the next 15 years, the studio grew and flourished under Richard's leadership. His daughter Allison came on board and together they formed a strong partnership.
Under standard NYC real estate pressures, the studios relocated to 221 West 57th Street. Richard passed away just three weeks after the move at the age of 69, but would have been proud of the new space that inspired so many dancers. Determined to honor the legacy that her beloved father left behind and to move the business into the next millennium, Allison brought on an even more impressive roster of teachers, and vastly expanded the studio's educational offerings and programming. It was on 57th Street that many of the programs and workshops that have made BDC famous were born: International Student Visa Program, Children and Teens Program, Dance Teacher Workshop, and Music Video Jam (now known as The PULSE on Tour). During our time on those five floors, our business evolved as well – our Front Desk left behind the paper sign-in procedure to embrace the computer age, and we developed the first iterations of what has become our now legendary web presence. BDC's ability to change with the times and deliver both the training and technology our students need has kept us current throughout our years of operation.
Under the direction of the current Executive Director, Diane King, and with heartwarming support from the dance community, faculty, and staff, BDC relocated again to its current state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Times Square, maintaining the integrity and generosity for which we're known. With the support of a talented and dedicated staff, the studio provides a palpable abundance of creative energy that invigorates the minds, bodies, and souls of all who enter. To this day, our staff holds true to the founder's original intent: an open-door policy gratefully welcoming all those who wish to dance. BDC's class offerings continue to grow and provide an enormous and unprecedented variety of talented faculty and styles. These include innovative and groundbreaking workshops, programs, and events that create positive opportunities for children and adults. It has often been said that BDC is a second home for dancers – this is indeed the dream Richard sought to attain, and it is our honor to keep this dream in our sights.
We're far from finished! We expanded our space on 45th Street to seven state-of-the-art studios, and now offer over 350 classes a week. With even more innovative workshops, master classes, and programs as well as our expanded Shop and social media presence, we are always carefully crafting new and exciting offerings for dancers of every path in our endless effort to inspire the world to dance! Just as Broadway Dance Center became the fulfillment of Richard's dreams, we know that, somewhere within the walls of our dynamic studios, BDC can do the same for you.
Comprising more than 80 professionals, our faculty is fully committed to your development and training. You're sure to find a favorite teacher in this diverse group! Our teachers work professionally in various aspects of industry and bring their expertise and knowledge into the classroom. View Faculty
All members of our staff work as a team to ensure the studio is run in a highly efficient and well-organized manner.

Alphasig brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 203 Designs von 49 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Design a logo for my new company, Pendulum Financial Strategies, that will be able grab one's attention with a design that is simple, yet creative and bold enough to have resonance
Pendulum Financial Strategies
I am a young thirty-something executive that has recently made the difficult decision to leave Corporate America to take charge of my own destiny by pursuing a new venture - Pendulum Financial Strategies. My very first marketing task is to design a logo to build my company's image upon. The idea for the name Pendulum Financial Strategies came about last August, at the onset of what is now popularly known as "The Credit Crisis." As past history has shown, financial markets often act in ebbs and flows, bulls and bears, peaks and valleys, etc. etc. - and as events such as the S&L Junk Bond Crisis (80's), implosions of Derivatives (90's) and Dot.Com Bubble (2000) have demostrated, unbound greed in conjunction with a general lack of knowledge and irrational responses lead to hysteria levels that can massively snowball and lead to poorer and poorer decision-making - thereby prolonging and feeding events to a catastrophic scale.
The premise of Pendulum is a company that recognizes that great swings in financial markets often occur, and if one were to use a pendulum as a metaphor, they often swing out widely only to eventually return. Thus, if one is intelligent, logical and savvy enough, they may capitalize on that golden moment that exists as the pendulum swings far past what is expected, the rational or status-quo, and travels outwards a peak of irrationality ruled by emotions and unsound judgement before swinging back again.
Without going into too much detail, the function of this company is to provide an innovative product/service to regional and national financial institutions. The term "strategies" was intentionally used instead of something more mundane as "consultant" to demonstrate more of a partnership with the client and reflect an end goal. The logo should have an easily recognizable symbol that may be replicated relatively simply, and provide font/colors that recognize/reflect the conservative culture of the end-client to an extent, but should also be bold enough to resonate and instill confidence with a straightforward message, while also demonstrating some overall dynamic quality that reflects the company's highly-motivated management team and unique approach to an industry in flux.
- The phrase "Pendulum" must be emphasized and possibly positioned above "Financial Strategies" (though not required)
- A simple symbol that is well-incorporated into the overall design, but may also stand alone as a recognizable icon
- Bold approach with a slightly dynamic quality, keeping in mind a relatively conservative client base
- A minimum of two colors
- Nothing childish or comical
- No cursive or flowery fonts
- No "hot" or particularly bright colors such as red, pink or neon green.
- Otherwise, wery much open to any ideas during the initial stages

The Employment of PhDs
To the Editor:
Ted Margadant's article on "The Production of PhDs" in the May 1999 Perspectives, like the surveys of job prospects you have published in recent years, gives a salutary warning about the continuing competitiveness of the academic job market. Nevertheless, Margadant's gloomy statistics on the job prospects for PhDs from smaller PhD programs do not square with the track record of my department, and I think I know the reason why—not that we at the University of Kentucky are so much better than other schools in our category at finding jobs for our graduates, but that the database Margadant has used omits many of the institutions where we and other small PhD programs place many of our students.
From 1992 to 1997, 67 percent of our new PhDs eventually found tenure-track placements in four-year institutions, nearly double the rate that Margadant's figures would suggest. Moreover, perhaps as many as half of our students found employment in institutions that are not listed in the AHA Directory and that apparently do not have web sites listing their faculty. Many of these are small private institutions, but some are good-sized public campuses. (I note that three of the eight public four-year institutions in Kentucky are not listed in the Directory, along with about half of the state's private colleges, and that only three institutions of any sort in the state of Mississippi are listed, although there are many more.)
Undoubtedly, the majority of the institutions omitted from Margadant's survey are in the category of "teaching institutions," with relatively low salaries and high teaching loads. They are, nevertheless, colleges and universities that need well-trained faculty, and many of our PhDs who go to such schools report that their careers are challenging and satisfying. All of us, top-20 PhD programs and smaller ones alike, need to be honest with graduate students about the difficulties of finding jobs and the nature of the jobs that PhDs are likely to be offered, but Margadant's statistics overstate the case when they imply that PhDs from any but the top 20 programs face a less-than-even chance of finding any kind of tenure-track teaching job. It would be a shame if such figures deter motivated and well-informed students from pursuing their career goals.

Urania's Well: Astrology for Changing Times
PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
Magickal Monday: Your Guide to the Week Ahead - 9/24/12
Well, I think it might be time to take a look at Mr. Romney's chart. After what is being billed as "Romney's Hell Week" — now turning into "Hell Ten Days" as I write this — it would be most instructive to check the astrological aspects that are in effect in his natal chart (click here for the chart). As usual, I'll bold my conclusions, so those who are not interested in the astrological details can cut to the chase.
There are a number of astrological approaches one can take to understand and predict current and future events in a person's life. I mostly use secondary progressions, solar arc directions, and transits to the natal chart. I sit up and pay close attention when more than one of those areas are suggesting essentially the same thing.
Let's look at what's been going on in Mr. Romney's chart over the past couple of weeks and what will happen between now and the election.
We'll begin at the end of August, with the last Full Moon. Recall that the Full Moon generally is influential over the following two weeks — until the next New Moon. This Full Moon conjuncted Romney's natal Mars, and in the chart of the Full Moon, Mars is squaring Romney's Midheaven/IC axis. Mars rules, among other things, conflict, arguments, and impulsiveness. The Midheaven is one's public presentation, as well as the career. Two days before the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, transiting Mars squared Romney's Pluto, which co-rules his 6th house of public service, and the day before, his progressed Moon opposed his natal Neptune. Neptune is the dispositor* of his natal Mars, Mercury and the Sun.
Transiting Neptune is currently square Romney's Ascendant/Descendant axis, widely conjunct his natal Mars, and still square his natal Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio. His natal Neptune is being opposed/squared by the current Uranus-Pluto square. The New Moon on the 16th coincided with the release of the infamous "47 percent" video. This New Moon was closely opposed his natal Sun, and sesquiquadrate** his natal Venus and Midheaven. Do you see the repeating themes of the Moon, Mars, and Neptune closely tied to Romney's chart, both by transit and progression?
Let's not forget Saturn. Saturn usually shows up when there are restrictions, obstacles, and defeats, as well as responsibilities and honors. Transiting Saturn is in Romney's natal 6th house, already in orb of a square to his natal Saturn — exact just after Election Day — and a wide square to his Midheaven/IC axis. Also, solar arc Saturn is in opposition to the Node/Midheaven midpoint, a configuration that Noel Tyl defines as "being comfortable in the loner's position". This would relate to Romney's refusal to back down on his statements, both about the situation in the Middle East, and the 47% video.
Now, how does this all boil down? Well, you may remember that a couple of weeks ago, when I was discussing Bill Clinton's chart, I mentioned that Mars and Neptune can indicate personal charisma, and certainly there are those who find this candidate charming and somewhat glamorous, with his extreme wealth and privilege. But there are negative manifestations of this combination as well, and they speak of impulsiveness, illusions, fighting through deception, and an over-idealized view of reality. Over-idealization is not necessarily all sweetness and light, particularly when combined with Mars. In Romney's case, it would seem that he idealizes the power America has on the world stage, perceiving us as somehow invincible and always able to enforce our will on others. Instead of erring on the side of caution in an extremely delicate, dangerous and highly volatile situation for Americans in the Middle East, he suggested that our President, his political rival, sympathized with the people who attacked our Libyan consulate. Nor did he bring any insight or clarity to what he would have done differently. "It's never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans, and to defend our values." he said, but, as Time magazine noted, "His broader policy toward the Libyan conflict, however, has never entirely been clear…"
This is unmistakably Mars with Neptune. Even the whole silliness around the orangy-tan makeup with the defined foundation line and his un-tanned hands reflects the deception of Mars-Neptune, and that conjunction is going to continue in within a 7-degree orb***, right through Election Day, as will the aspect of transiting Neptune to his Ascendant, and the progressed Moon to Neptune. Mr. Romney will be idealized by some, but for the most part, with these aspects, he's going to have a tough time getting people to see him as honest and straightforward, much less as a statesman.
There are ways of taking aspects like this and consciously turning them to one's advantage. For instance, he could consciously restrain his impulsive reactions, knowing they are likely to be mis-directed during this time, and make every effort to get the facts straight in any situation. He also might unfurl a broadly spiritual standard to march under, focusing on ideals and values (which could even be done inclusively, without dragging the First Amendment through the mud). That would be playing to the strengths of these aspects, and the ability to figure out how to do this is one of the great values of astrology. But I don't see that happening in Mr. Romney's case.
I'll take a look at President Obama's chart, as well as the Election Day chart, in the coming weeks, but for now, let's take a look at what's on deck for the upcoming week:
The only major aspect on Monday is the Capricorn Moon's square to Saturn at 5:20 p.m. (all times EDT). It's a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of day — use it to get your ducks in a row for the rest of the week, which is likely to have some surprises and upheavals. The Moon moves into Aquarius early evening, and Mercury semi-squares the North Node, bringing the focus onto friends, groups, and communication networks.
Tuesday starts with a Mars sesquiquadrate to Uranus early in the a.m. This is the opening move in a series of aspects that will be perfecting over the next two days involving Mars, Venus, and the Moon. If you have natal placements close to 22 degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) these transits will particularly affect you, and they will also be triggering the Uranus-Pluto square. I expect some headlines over issues of women's rights with these aspects.
(A note for more advanced astrology students: the current midpoint of the Uranus-Pluto square is right around 22 degrees Aquarius, and so that is a sensitive, triggering point. Anyone with natal placements there will be feeling the U-P square strongly. The Moon will be conjuncting that point Wednesday, and Thursday's Venus-Mars square is at 23 degrees Leo-Scorpio)
Later on Tuesday, Mars in Scorpio semi-squares Pluto. This can be a real back-stabber of an aspect, but it also gives a lot of energy that can be directed towards solving problems and creating new structures. Look under the surface of things — a lot will be hidden — and be careful to do no harm. By all means, don't forget to do whatever daily energetic cleansing and protection techniques you use, and take extra precautions on a physical level as well. Venus sesqui-quadrates Uranus in the evening, challenging relationships and bringing a lot of intensification of emotions. The Moon trines Mercury, then Jupiter late in the evening, a lovely aspect for the writers among you, and good for any kind of emotionally-based communication.
Wednesday, there are three sesquiquadrate (also known as sesqui-square) aspects in the wee hours: Venus to Pluto, Mercury to Neptune, and Moon to Sun. The sesquiquadrate is a dynamic and challenging aspect, and while its effective orb*** is smaller than that of the square (2 degrees or so), it still tends to present with a bit of a punch. Again, I expect these configurations to manifest somehow in the arena of women's rights, and also around honesty in communication. If you are an artist, this could be a productive, if somewhat frustrating, day.
Wednesday also features a nice, flowing trine between Mercury and Jupiter, excellent for both learning and teaching, and communication in general. It will help to moderate the jumpy, irritable and generally disturbing effects of the Moon semi-squaring Uranus, then Pluto, then opposing Venus, then squaring Mars. WHEW! Ground. Center. Then do it again. This is likely to be an intense day, and we could see fanatical, out-of-bounds behavior, vanity, jealousy, and pursuit of instant gratification. Turning this around to a more harmonious manifestation will involve — besides grounding and centering — creative work and active, physical outlets for the energy. Sports, gardening, and good sex all qualify.
Thursday, the Moon moves into Pisces early in the a.m., then conjuncts Neptune. Not long after, the Venus-Mars square becomes exact. Mid-afternoon, after making a sesquiquadrate to Mercury, the Moon conjuncts Chiron, which is currently sextile Pluto. This points to a tense start to the day, but gives opportunity for some healing later in the afternoon.
Friday, watch out for over-emotional communication and unrestrained, odd behavior, as the Moon squares Jupiter, while the Sun inconjuncts Chiron and moves into orb of opposition to Uranus and square Pluto, exact tomorrow. The weekend's aspects are pretty intense, so you might want to use the trine of Moon to Mars in the evening to do some magickal work for personal cleansing, protection, divination, and communing with your ancestors, gods and/or other allies.
Saturday, the Sun opposes Uranus early in the morning, then the Moon moves into Aries, and sets up for the Full Moon later in the evening (11:20 p.m.) So the picture is this: Sun oppose Uranus and the Moon, square Pluto, and, of course, the Moon is conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. This is a major trigger for the Uranus-Pluto square, particularly since Full Moons generally affect the following two weeks. Add to that the fact that the Moon-Uranus conjunction is in a stressful aspect (quindecile) to Mercury, and it's a good guess that communication, travel, learning, and all things Mercury-related are also likely to be subject to upheavals over the next couple of weeks.
By now, if you've been reading this blog for a while, and following along with your own chart, you'll have some idea of what areas of your life are being most affected by the Uranus-Pluto square. Pay close attention to how you communicate in those areas of your life, and how your personal perceptions and mindset affect your experiences.
The Moon continues through Aries on Sunday, and it may seem as though everyone wants to do it their way, so it may not be the best day to do anything that requires a lot of cooperation, unless you can tap into some of that Mars in Scorpio energy, and convince people that doing it your way is, in fact, their way, too. Like this:
Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:
"What do you call work?"
"Why, ain't that work?"
Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly:
"Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer."
"Oh come, now, you don't mean to let on that you like it?"
The brush continued to move.
"Like it? Well, I don't see why I oughtn't to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth – stepped back to note the effect – added a touch here and there – criticised the effect again – Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said:
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Until next week!
*Dispositor: The planet that rules the sign another planet is in. For example, if Neptune is in Libra, then Venus is the dispositor of Neptune, because Venus rules the sign of Libra.
**Sesquiquadrate: A 135 degree aspect that is similar to a square in its effect, though not as powerful
***Orb: the distance, in degrees, between planets or planets and points in a chart that is considered to still be within the parameters of a particular aspect. Strong aspects, like the conjunction or square, are generally considered to still be "in orb" with a larger separation that less powerful aspects, like the sextile.
