In my last blog-post I described how to create a new linux_base port. This blog-post is about the other Linux-ports which make up the Linux-infrastructure in the FreeBSD Ports Collection for a given Linux-release.
What are linux-infrastructure ports?
A linux_base port contains as much as possible and at the same time as little as possible to make up a useful Linux-compatibility-experience in FreeBSD. I know, this is not a descriptive explanation. And it is not on purpose. There are no fixed rules what has to be inside or what not. It "matured" into the current shape. A practical example is, that there is no GUI-stuff in the linux_base. While you need the GUI parts like GTK or QT for software like Skype and acroread, you do not need them for headless game servers. While you may need various libraries for game servers, you may not need those for Skype or acroread. As such some standard parts are in separate ports which are named linux-LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX-NAME. For GTK and the Fedora 10 release this results in linux-f10-gtk2. Such generic ports which depend upon a specific Linux-release make up the Linux-infrastructure in the FreeBSD Ports Collection. Those ports are referenced in port-Makefiles via the USE_LINUX_APPS variable, e.g. USE_LINUX_APPS=gtk2.
If you created a new linux_base port, you need most standard infrastructure ports in a version for the Linux-release used in the linux_base port, to have the Linux-application ports in the FreeBSD Ports Collection working (if you are unlucky, some ports do not play well with the Linux-release you have chosen, but this is out of the scope of this HOWTO).
Updating Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk
First we need to set the LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX variable to a value suitable to the new Linux-release. This is done in the conditional which checks the OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS variable for valid values. Add an appropriate conditional, and do not forget to add the new valid value to the IGNORE line in the last else branch of the conditional.
The next step is to check the _LINUX_APPS_ALL and _LINUX_26_APPS variables. If there are some infrastructure ports which are not available for the new Linux-release, the conditional which checks the availability of a given infrastructure port for a given Linux-release needs to be modified. If at a later step you notice that there are some additional infrastructure ports necessary for the new Linux-release, _LINUX_APPS_ALL and the check-logic needs to be modified too (e.g. add a new variable for your Linux-release, add the content of the variable to _LINUX_APPS_ALL, and change the check to do the right thing).
After that two tedious parts need to be done.
For each infrastructure port there is a set of variables. The name_PORT variable contains the location of the port in the Ports Collection. Typically you do not have to change it (if you really want to change it, do not do it, fix the naming of the infrastructure port instead), because we use a naming convention here which includes the LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX. The name_DETECT variable is an internal variable, do not change it (if you create a new infrastructure port, copy it from somewhere else and make sure the name in value of the variable matches the port name in the name of the variable). Then there are several name_suffix_FILE variables. Leave the existing ones alone, and add a new one with the correct suffix for your new Linux-release. The value of the variable needs to be an important file which is installed by the infrastructure port in question. FYI: The content of the name_suffix_FILE variables are used to set the name_DETECT variables, depending on the Linux-relase the name_DETECT variables are used to check if the port is already installed. Ideally the name_suffix_FILE variable points to a library in the port. The name_DEPENDS variable lists dependencies of this infrastructure port. If the dependencies changed in your Linux-release, you need to add a conditional to change the dependency if LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX is set to your Linux-release.
Normally this is all what needs to be done in PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk, the rest of the file is code to check dependencies and some correctness checks.
The second tedious part is to actually create all those infrastructure ports. Normally you can copy an existing infrastructure port, rename it, adjust the PORTNAME, PORTVERSION, PORTREVISION, MASTER_SITES, PKGNAMEPREFIX, DISTFILES, CONFLICTS (also in all other Linux-release versions of this infrastructure port), LINUX_DIST_VER, RPMVERSION (if set/neccesary) and SRC_DISTFILE variables, generate the distfile checksums (make makesum), and fix the plist. I suggest to script parts of this work (as of this writing Freshports counts 68 ports where the portname starts with linux-f10-).
Adding new infrastructure ports, or removing infrastructure ports for a given Linux-release
If your Linux-release does not come with a package for an existing infrastructure port, just do not create a corresponding name_suffix_FILE line. You still need to do the right thing regarding dependencies of ports which depend upon this non-existing infrastructure port (if your Linux-release comes with packages for them).
To add a new infrastructure port, copy an existing block, rename the variables, set them correctly, add a new variable for your Linux-release in the first _LINUX_APPS_ALL section, add the content of this variable to _LINUX_APPS_ALL, and change the check-logic as described above.
Final words
If you have something which installs and deinstalls correctly, feel free to provide it on email@example.com for review/testing. If you have questions during the porting, feel also free to send a mail there.

Town Hall's season: It's all about big, old musicals
At the Town Hall Arts Center, it's always all about about big musicals. And next year, it'll be all about big, old musicals. The traditionally conservative Town Hall's recent foray into more contemporary material will for the most part take next season off. The closest Town Hall will come to envelope-pushing in 2011-12 will be staging The Who's rock concept musical, "Tommy," and Mel Brooks' now ubiquitous "The Producers," both of which trace their roots all the back to 1969.
Recent stagings of "Rent" and "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at least hinted at a bit more adventurousness from Town Hall than it had shown in the past. Next year, not so much. Then again, in a down economy, Town Hall is among the few companies setting box-office records with its primarily traditional fare. So this is more observation than criticism. But as one of the last producers of big musicals in the metro area, you'd hope Town Hall would be willing to slate more current titles than those that come with mothballs.
"Brigadoon," "The Wizard of Oz," "A Funny Thing on the Way to the Forum" and "Evita" (newer, yet still done to death) will appeal to Town Hall's existing, older audience base, but will do little to bring new and younger faces into the fold. If anything, more likely the opposite. It's a shame because Town Hall was really on the verge of becoming a more urgent voice in the larger theatrical dialogue in this community.
The season at a glance:
Sept. 16-Oct. 16, 2011: "Evita"
Nov. 11-Dec. 31, 2011: "The Wizard of Oz"
Jan. 13-Feb. 5, 2012: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
Feb. 17-March 18, 2012: "Brigadoon"
April 6-May 6, 2012: "The Who's Tommy"
May 18-June 17, 2012: "The Producers"
More on each offering (descriptors provided by Town Hall):
Sept. 16-Oct. 16, 2011: "Evita"
Lyrics by Tim Rice, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, Eva Peron was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
Nov. 11-Dec. 31, 2011: "The Wizard of Oz"
Book by L. Frank Baum, Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg
Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. This classic musical of her journey to the wonderful world of OZ, is both magical and meaningful. A perfect holiday experience for the entire family.
Jan. 13-Feb. 5, 2012: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. This perfect escape from life's troubles takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest.
Feb. 17-March 18, 2012: "Brigadoon"
A Scottish fantasy about a mysterious village that disappears into the Highland mist and returns for only one day every one hundred years. To the villagers, the magical passing of each century seems no longer than one night. This tribute to simplicity, true love and goodness, has been revived on Broadway several times and has earned both a Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.
April 6-May 6, 2012: "The Who's Tommy"
Book by Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff, music and lyrics by Pete Townshend
After witnessing an accidental murder, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia. When his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he shows himself to be an international pinball superstar. Based on The Who's rock opera, TOMMY, this tale of a young boy's journey from pain to triumph is the most electrifying evening of rock and roll ever to play in a theatre!
May 18-June 17, 2012: "The Producers"
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, music and lyrics by Mel Brooks
Outrageous, hilarious, off the wall, and the winner of a record 12 Tony Awards are just a few things that The Producers is. But it is never boring and you will find yourself holding your sides with laughter as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom sing and dance their way through the greatest show biz scam that there ever was.

Single tickets go on sale July 1. Reserved seating tickets priced $21-$36 at the Town Hall Arts Center box office, 303-794-2787 ext. 5 or online at www.townhallartscenter.com

Facebook stock avoids steep drop as Street rethinks results
Shares of Facebook Inc recovered from an 8 percent slide on Thursday, finishing the regular session down less than 1 percent, as Wall Street's initial alarm over mobile revenue results and spending plans subsided.business Updated: Feb 01, 2013 15:14 IST
Shares of Facebook Inc recovered from an 8 percent slide on Thursday, finishing the regular session down less than 1 percent, as Wall Street's initial alarm over mobile revenue results and spending plans subsided.
Facebook said on Wednesday that fourth-quarter mobile advertising revenue doubled from the third quarter, but the results failed to live up to some investors' high expectations. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's comments about boosting spending in the coming year signaled that profit margins will be under pressure, adding to concerns.
"The initial fast money said earnings are going down, numbers are coming down, the stock is going to get hit," said Macquarie Research analyst Ben Schachter.
"But the more people thought about it throughout the day, the momentum changed and longer-term investors won out, saying these are investments we think they should be making," he said.
Facebook has long established itself as one of the most popular websites with more than a billion users, but investors have worried that until the company's mobile advertising strategy takes off, revenue growth will remain shaky.
Three brokerages downgraded the stock, but most analysts said investor expectations were too high and Facebook's mobile advertising business was a good long-term bet.
Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser upgraded Facebook to a "buy" rating on Thursday, calling Wall Street's reaction to the results "downright dazed."
The stock market incorrectly interpreted Facebook's "mobile revenue figures as a negative when in fact they are part of a story that we can see as qualitatively more favorable," Wieser said.
Shares of the company finished regular trading on Thursday down 0.8 percent at $30.98 on the Nasdaq. Earlier in the session, the stock fell as low as $28.74. Facebook stock has lost more than a quarter of its value since its botched debut in May.
The company reported a better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday and said mobile advertising revenue doubled to $306 million, suggesting it was making inroads into handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Investors were looking for at least $350 million in mobile advertising revenue, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said in a note to clients.
"While the trajectory of mobile growth may not be as steep as some investors were hoping, the theme of mobile as the future of Facebook remains intact," Munster said.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Salmon, however, said Facebook's 2013 stock performance would not be dictated by its ability to generate mobile ad dollars. He downgraded the stock on Thursday to "market perform" from "outperform."
Salmon said new catalysts were necessary to drive Facebook's stock price up.

The classic novel by Jules Verne "Around the World in Eighty Days" comes to life on the Penobscot Theatre Company Stage! A true treat for audiences of all ages, we spoke to some young folks who saw the show to see what they thought of the performance:
"As a fan of the book when I was young, I was excited and nervous to see the show. The challenges of the set alone are enough to make anybody run for the hills with their tail between their legs. By the first few seconds, though, the set was hardly my focus.
For someone who went into the theatre stressing about how well the show would be done with the set I saw, I'm happy to say that by the end of the show, I sat corrected– or rather, stood, as did the rest of the audience, all applauding as the cast received the praise, deservedly so." – Macey Jennings, Bangor, ME. PTC Teen Council Member"This show was an immense success on many levels; it was kind of reminiscent of a past PTC show, The 39 Steps, in that it involved a few key players taking on an extremely impressive number of roles. The actors were constantly switching characters, making split-second costume changes, and moving set pieces throughout the show. Just as the actors were involved with the technical aspects, the techies were also incorporated into the performance. It's clear that this was a particularly demanding show, but the entire thing flowed together seamlessly and everyone made it look effortless. No one ever stepped out of character and the energy level was through the roof the entire time. Dominic Varney always amazes me because he can maintain the same goofy expressions and poses for entire scenes without faltering for a second. Arthur Morrison was great in all of his roles, but I especially loved the moment when he began channeling Chico Marx. There were a few PTC regulars but they all outdid themselves in this show, which was hilarious and full of surprises. One of the most creative choices was the elephant. Creating the impression of riding an actual elephant on stage is kind of a daunting task, to say the least, but these guys definitely pulled it off. The entire show was incredibly imaginative, and lots of fun to watch." – Emma Howard Bangor, ME.
Around the World in Eighty Days will be performed at the Bangor Opera House through June 2. For more information visit our website. Each full price ticket purchase will be accompanied by a free student ticket! To purchase tickets, please visit our website or call our Box Office at 942-3333. We'll see you at the theater!

Cinderella's Royal Family
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Families
This homemade costume for families entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Rebecca, the 'Cinderella's Royal Family' costume creator:
Our daughter Carrie LOVES Cinderella, so I decided to take that as a Halloween challenge. I made her dress from scratch out of poly satin. For my fairy Godmother costume, the cape is made from scratch and worn over a blue maxi dress I already had in my closet. Prince Charming's costume was an old white button up. I cut off the collar, hot glued gold satin on the collar, cut out shoulder pad shapes from an empty diaper box and covered them with gold satin and fringe. A gold rope completed the shirt. The pants are windbreaker pants I found at goodwill. A little gold ribbon down the side dressed them up so much, you couldn't tell they weren't royal slacks. We had a blast dressing up as Cinderella's Royal Family!

Following up on a previous tutorial, here is another way to enhance PowerPoint Presentation with annotations in conjunction with Tegrity to create a more interactive online course recording for students to view. In this example we use a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet which lets instructors easily annotate, hand write, and draw in applications such as Photoshop or PowerPoint using a stylus. This is useful for courses that are math-heavy with lots of equations or where natural hand motions present a superior figure to using the mouse such as in an art class.
The video below goes through the basics of using the Wacom Tablet as well as some possible uses for instructors. Before getting started, you will need a Wacom Tablet which is available for checkout in the Learning Tech Studio.

Pies-in-face attack roils anarchist-vegan world
An ex-vegan who was hit with chili pepper-laced pies at an anarchist event in San Francisco said Tuesday that her assailants were cowards who should direct their herbivorous rage at the powerful - not at a fellow radical for writing a book denouncing animal-free diets.
Lierre Keith, a 45-year-old Arcata resident, was attacked at 2:15 p.m. Saturday at the 15th annual Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair while discussing her 2009 book, "The Vegetarian Myth." A 20-year vegan, Keith now argues that the diet is unhealthy and that agriculture is destroying the world.
As Keith stood at a lectern at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, three people in masks and black hooded sweatshirts ran from backstage, shouted, "Go vegan!" and threw pies in her face. While they fled, some in the audience cheered or handed out leaflets.
The attack, midway through a 30-minute talk, was captured on a video posted to YouTube and prompted blistering debates on radical Web sites.
Many people defended Keith - or at least her right not to be attacked. Others said she was dishonest and abusive to vegans and should not have been invited by the event organizer, San Francisco's Bound Together bookstore.
Police are investigating the incident but have made no arrests, a spokesman said. Keith said she did not go to a hospital and was able to speak at a second engagement later Saturday, but had sore eyes for a few days and developed an ear infection.
"The whole thing was designed for social humiliation," said Keith, speaking Tuesday from her sister's home in Kansas. "We're supposed to be against sadism and cruelty and domination, and these people were willing to do this to me."
Keith said her values are similar in most ways to those of her attackers. She believes in militant action, even property destruction, if it can lead to change. In her book, she said, she railed against factory farming and promoted the restoration of prairies and forests.
"It's insane. My entire book is about how the world is being destroyed," Keith said. She said the first pie hit her just after she uttered the sentence, "You should not eat factory-farmed meat."
Among those rejoicing in the pie attack was the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, which often prints communiques from activists taking credit for attacks on animal researchers.
The group said Keith was wrong about veganism, referred to her as an "animal holocaust denier," and scolded her for calling the "agents of state oppression" - the police.
Her assailants were "masked marvels" who "made their statement very eloquently and succinctly on behalf of the billions of animals she advocates killing," the group said.
Keith said the attack appeared to have been planned on Internet sites dedicated to veganism. She called it a case of infighting that harmed activist causes.
"If this is what is considered radical action," she said, "this movement is dead."

This column first appeared nearly seven years ago after one of my less successful attempts to expand my culinary repertoire and be creative with fresh produce. Let's just say it wasn't "millennial-simple" — and I haven't tried baking with pomegranates since then. But I'm always up for more experiments; read and laugh at the saga of pomegranate pie, then let me know your favorite unique ways to incorporate fresh produce into your holiday menus.
With Thanksgiving behind us and December rushing madly toward Christmas and New Year, home bakers across the country are finding themselves knee-deep in butter and flour as they crank out the holiday goodies.
Or I am, at least, given the way I bake.
Though winter is still a couple of weeks away — and here at the Lenexa, Kan., offices of The Packer it feels more like early April than December — we are in the midst of one of the most wonderful times of the year: pie season.
After sampling a slew of pumpkin, pecan, apple and blueberry pies at Thanksgiving I found myself tasked with making a pie of my own for a fundraising contest. The recipe hunt was on.
I wanted to make something unique. There's a reason for the phrase "American as apple pie" — everyone makes it, according to the 34,100,000 results I got for Google searching for apple pie recipes.
However, I also wanted to use fresh fruit and make my own filling. So I considered my options.
Peach or cherry? The domestic stone fruit seasons were long over. Grape? We seldom get fresh concord grapes, which my recipe called for, here in Kansas.
Strawberry rhubarb? I didn't have time to tackle rhubarb ribs.
Wondering if I should just go the easy route and make an apple pie after all, I poked around the refrigerator, hoping to find something inspiring (or at least something for lunch). There I saw two bottles of pomegranate juice left over from a batch of pomegranate red velvet cupcakes I'd made at a coworker's request.
"Aha!" I thought. "I'll use this juice in my pie!" After all, pomegranate season was also in full swing and I could find the fresh arils the grocery store hadn't carried when I made the cupcakes. I decided to add fresh cranberries, another tart, red, seasonal fruit, to the equation. I always make the fresh cranberry sauce for our holiday dinners, so I figured some variation of that would work nicely as a pie filling.
I mentioned my bright idea to my mom, who is the acknowledged pie master in our family. She raised her eyebrows a bit at the sketchy details of how I planned to craft this concoction and said "Maybe you'd better find a recipe first."
It seems most people who bake with pomegranates or cranberries add them to other fruits instead of making them the featured filling. I found dozens of recipes for apple-cranberry or cranberry-pear pie, and several more for cherry-, pear- or apple-pomegranate pie, but next to no recipes for either fruit used exclusively. I finally settled on a recipe for raspberry-cranberry pie that also used fresh orange juice and an apple, and decided to swap in arils for the raspberries and the pomegranate juice instead of orange.
I put the pomegranate juice in a pan to reduce on the stove while I prepared the crust. We're all familiar with the phrase "a watched pot never boils." Well, an unwatched pot always burns. There went my pomegranate juice.
I still had the orange, though, and thought maybe it was safer to follow the recipe a bit more closely after all. Into a clean pan went the orange juice and zest, sugar, cranberries and half of the arils I'd purchased. As the berries started bursting and mixing with the orange, the fragrance of scorched sugar gave way to more pleasant aromas and I started to feel pleased with myself.
When the cranberry mixture cooled I poured it into the crust and topped it with the other container of pomegranate arils, then slid it into the oven. I hadn't cooked all of the arils with the cranberries because I thought it might cook the pomegranate flavor out, but when I sampled a slice of the pie later during the contest I concluded I should have after all. The cranberry-orange-pomegranate flavor was wonderful, but the less-cooked arils made the fruit filling crunchy. The next time I make it, I think I'll cook all the arils equally. And maybe I'll try using fresh raspberries, too, like the recipe originally called for.
Do you have some good ideas or favorite ways to use fresh pomegranates or cranberries in your holiday baking? E-mail me or leave a comment at [email protected] and let me know. I'm always up for experimenting with new ways to use fresh fruits and vegetables.

Test adds an additional "balancing of the competing interests" element to the Cahill test
Mobilisa, Inc. v. Doe, — P.3d —-, 2007 WL 4167007 (Ariz. App. November 27, 2007)
Plaintiff filed suit in Washington state court against an anonymous ("John Doe") defendant which it accused of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Stored Communications Act. Doe allegedly accessed the plaintiff's computer system and obtained a copy of an "intimate" email which he forwarded to a number of people.
Plaintiff served a subpoena on Doe's Arizona-based email provider, seeking to uncover Doe's true identity. The email provider and Doe individually, through counsel, objected, but the Arizona court ordered that Doe's identity be revealed. The court looked to the 2005 case of Doe v. Cahill which requires (1) that the anonymous party sought to be unmask be given notice of the proceedings, and (2) that the party seeking the identity of the anonymous party put forth sufficient facts to survive a motion for summary judgment.
Doe appealed the lower court's order which required he be identified. On appeal, the Arizona Court of Appeals remanded the matter back to the trial court. It held that although the court correctly applied the two Cahill factors, it should have considered a third factor, namely, a balancing of the relative interests of the parties. Consideration of this third factor, the court held, would help ensure that the important First Amendment rights at issue in anonymous speech cases would be adequately protected.

High-tech equipment could aid local law enforcement
July 30, 2008
Area law enforcement may be better able to track serious offenders following the approval of a $55,155 expenditure for Livescan fingerprinting equipment by the Leavenworth County Commission Monday.
Undersheriff Ron Cranor presented the board with information on Livescan, which county administrator Heather Morgan said "allows our (the sheriff department's) information about fingerprints, tattoos and other scars to be transmitted to the KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation) and processed in a centralized database."
Cranor said the equipment - to be used for serious offender documentation as well as conceal/carry licensing at the Leavenworth County Justice Center - will replace a 10-year-old Printrak device that is no longer compatible with the KBI's current system.
"They (the KBI) want all of this in a package deal, sent through electronic means to get to their files," Cranor said, explaining that the biometric Livescan devices would record fingerprints, palm prints and other recognizable tattoos, marks or scars on an individual.
He said with $54,999 in the jail's depreciation account for Printrak replacement and $16,200 from the KBI in direct grant funding, the expenditure "was kind of a no-brainer."
He noted the KBI funding would only be available if the Livescan devices were operational by Sept. 30, 2008.
Ultimately, the board voted, 2-0, with commission chairman Clyde Graeber abstaining, to waive normal bidding requirements for the purchase from Cross Match Technologies, utilizing the state's contract to purchase the equipment.
In other business Monday, the board:
¢ Unanimously approved the hiring of an additional officer for the county's community corrections department.
¢Discussed whether or not to divulge certain classified information concerning courthouse and justice center security that was recently received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to City of Leavenworth officials.
Graeber said the information "does affect them (the city) in that they're one of the major occupants of the (justice center)," but he added that certain recommendations for the jail or district courts, for instance, should be redacted.
"In order to gain their support, they (city officials) are almost going to have to have full knowledge of the whole project," commissioner Dean Oroke said.
Morgan noted that, after speaking with Leavenworth City Manager Scott Miller, "the city has concerns about the need for increased security."
Morgan also reiterated the need for city and county officials to review an operating agreement for the justice center to clarify which entity is financially responsible for repairs at the center.

Kershaw continues progress in injury recovery
Ken Gurnick is a reporter for MLB.com.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, currently on the disabled list, came out of his bullpen session Tuesday well enough to play catch from 100 feet Wednesday and flip breaking balls on flat ground.
Manager Don Mattingly said Kershaw will throw another bullpen session Thursday as he continues his recovery from a strained teres major muscle in his upper back.
"He's moving forward and feeling better about it," Mattingly said.
Mattingly, however, said there still is no timetable on Kershaw's return and the medical department is still calling the shots.
"Stan [Conte, athletic trainer] decides how far and how fast," Mattingly said. "It's not in Clayton's hands."

Do we need multivitamins and minerals tailored to our age and gender? Do we need supplements at all?
Looking for a quick fix to a poor diet?
After a few too many days of missed breakfasts, rushed lunches or takeaway dinners, there's something appealing about the idea that you can pop a multivitamin and boost your depleted stores of nutrients.
Should you be looking for a multivitamin that's tailored to your age and gender, or is that kind of product segmentation just a marketing ploy? And do you really need to take multivitamins in the first place?
The "worried well"
A young woman consults a dietitian, concerned her diet is inadequate. She says she takes a number of different multivitamin products each day because she feels they help. On closer inspection, the dietitian discovers three of the products contain B vitamin complexes, and that they are delivering 17 times the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of vitamin C.
The dietitian determines she has a perfectly adequate diet – she doesn't need to take pills as well. She's a typical example of the "worried well", and this group – indeed Australians in general – are enthusiastic consumers of multivitamins.
Pills vs produce
"There's good evidence to suggest that if a vitamin or mineral supplement replaces a deficiency, it will be beneficial," says Dr Trent Watson, accredited practising dietitian (APD) and spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia. But aside from a few specific situations or groups of people, most people who have a balanced diet have no need for supplementation.
"In the western world, even those not following such great diets are usually getting adequate nutrition, and it's not necessary to take multivitamins for general health," says Watson.
Associate Professor Tim Crowe of Deakin University's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences agrees: "Most people don't need multivitamins – particularly the 'worried well' of the population who eat reasonably well most of the time – and their money is better off spent on good food".
Taking multivitamins as a nutritional insurance policy may impact more than just your wallet. According to nutritionist Rosemary Stanton, "it may contribute to neglecting healthy food choices", and this has consequences for long-term health.
Real food has several big advantages over supplements. Whole foods contain:
- fibre and polyphenols, which can help protect against conditions such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease,
- vitamins and minerals in different forms, all of which range in their ability to be absorbed by the body (known as their bioavailability). Vitamin E occurs in nature in eight different forms, for example, but supplements usually contain just one,
- a host of other substances that help vitamins and minerals be absorbed by the body and do their job inside cells.
Supplements: who needs them?
Specific vitamin and mineral supplements may be beneficial for the following groups of people, but bear in mind that individual requirements vary and it's best to get advice from a health professional before self-prescribing.
- Pregnant women and those trying to conceive (one month prior to conception and three months after): Folate (see pregnancy supplements for more information).
- People with limited exposure to sunlight such as institutionalised or bedbound elderly, dark-skinned people and veiled women: Vitamin D.
- People on a strict vegan diet and the frail aged who may be eating poorly and/or absorbing less from their food: Vitamin B12.
- People on restrictive diets (including those with eating disorders, food allergies or intolerances and those on low-kilojoule weight-loss diets): supplement depends on the nature of the diet.
Product segmentation
People of different genders and ages do require more or less of certain nutrients according to their varying body sizes, metabolism rates, activity levels and food intake levels. Adult women, for example, require more iron than men up to the age of 50, and as both men and women get older their vitamin D needs tend to increase.
"The government's RDIs for each vitamin and mineral are set out by gender and age, and manufacturers are mirroring these RDIs in their formulations. This is a good thing," says Crowe.
But in some cases, the fragmentation is more about marketing than genuine need. For example, there are numerous small differences in nutrient levels between Swisse Women's Ultivite 50+ and 65+ formulas, but in reality the RDIs for most nutrients are the same for women at both ages. And both the boys' and girls' Bioglan Kids Gummies Multivitamins products are identical – it just depends on whether you want packaging featuring Disney princesses or characters from the movie, Cars.
Can you overdose on vitamins?
There are situations when multivitamins might not always be safe. There's some evidence that high levels of iron supplements prescribed to pregnant and lactating women may decrease zinc absorption.
"A leading cause of poisoning in children is iron poisoning," says Crowe. "While the quantity in one multivitamin tablet is perfectly safe, if a kid thinks they're lollies and eats the whole packet then there's the potential for harm."
According to Watson, 'the law of toxicology suggests that anything in the right doses can be toxic. There's an increasing body of evidence that suggests large doses of vitamin A increases the risk of lung cancer, for example."
If you're taking vitamin or mineral supplements or natural or herbal remedies along with prescribed medicine, it's also important to be aware of possible interactive effects.
Little pill, big promises
Although over-consumption of certain vitamins or minerals can be dangerous, ingredients are generally at such low doses in a multivitamin it's harder for them to be over-consumed and cause damage.
'There's only so much of each nutrient you can pack into a multivitamin pill – in that way they're self-limiting – and often it's not even close to the recommended dietary intake (RDI)," says Crowe. "Taken as directed there's little chance of harm as a dose is unlikely to contain levels of nutrients above the recommended upper level of intake."
In fact, the dose of an individual vitamin or mineral in a multivitamin may be so low as to render it useless. For example, a dose of glucosamine sulfate – a substance thought by some to help relieve the pain of osteoarthritis – is typically 1500mg in clinical trials. Nature's Own Mega Potency 50+ Years Multivitamin contains just 100mg.
Confusing labels
To complicate matters, it's very difficult for a lay-person to know what they're getting in a multivitamin and to compare products.
Vitamins are listed under their vitamin name on some bottles (e.g. vitamin B3) and their chemical name (e.g. niacin) on others. Different brands produce the same basic supplement from different compounds, any of which may appear on the bottle. For instance, calcium can be derived from calcium phosphate, calcium pantothenate, calcium ascorbate, calcium carbonate or calcium orotate (amongst others).
Some companies list the weight of the ingredient (which could be a compound), while others state the vitamin or mineral equivalent of that ingredient. And manufacturers of products sold in Australia don't need to list how much of each ingredient relates to a recommended dietary intake (RDI).
Vitamins and minerals: how much and which foods?
Aside from a few specific situations or groups of people, most people can fulfill their vitamin and mineral requirements by eating a healthy, balanced diet.
To check the RDI of all macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibre) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) for your gender and age, use the NHMRC's Nutrients & Dietary Energy Calculator.
For a summary of key vitamins and minerals, their function in the human body and the best dietary sources, see this table.
Multivitamins for kids
It's particularly important for parents to provide a healthy selection of foods for their children rather than give them a multivitamin to cover up for possible nutritional shortfalls. Stanton stresses that it's not OK for kids to eat junk just because they're getting multivitamins: "A recent study of Australian preschoolers found that 31% were overweight or obese, and their diets lacked fibre and had too much saturated fat – problems that a multivitamin won't fix."
"Don't offer something that will distract from consumption of real food," says Watson. "Children become consumers of everything you serve them eventually, so it's worth persisting with good food."

Inspired by The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. This is an interpretation of Eddie's dream. He sees the tower on a field of roses with a blue sky behind it.
Although this is a photo manipulation it involved a lot of drawing. The original tower image was of only a fraction of the tower you see here and it didn't have any windows. The only meadow with red flowers I could find was of poppies so all the roses have been put in by me. There are literally hundreds of masks in this image to blend it all together. LOL I love The Dark Tower series and wanted to get it right. :-)

Farmington Field Office Resource Management Plan Amendment
- Details
- Category: Farmington
- Published: Tuesday, 12 April 2016 14:01
Need for a Resource Management Plan Amendment
The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Farmington Field Office (FFO) is in the process of amending their 2003 Resource Management Plan (RMP) to address potential expansion of oil and gas development in the Mancos/Gallup Formation. The Mancos/Gallup Formation lies beneath millions of acres of federal, state, private, and tribal lands in northeastern New Mexico. The FFO Resource Management Plan Amendment will apply to all surface and subsurface mineral estate under BLM jurisdiction within a 4.2 million acre planning area extending into eastern San Juan County, western Rio Arriba County, northern Sandoval County, and northeastern McKinley County. At the time the 2003 RMP was completed, it was believed this formation had been fully developed. However, with advancements in drilling technology and hydraulic fracturing, development has again become economically viable. By law, the BLM is required to either amend or revise a RMP when new information becomes available that may have a significant impact on one or more resources. An Environmental Impact Statement accompanies these RMP changes. The Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) will amend sections of the 2003 RMP that address fluid leasable minerals, vegetation management, lands and realty, and Lands with Wilderness Characteristics. The associated EIS will outline the environmental impacts of a range of management alternatives within each of these categories.
Lands with Wilderness Characteristics and BLM Planning
Over 30,000 acres of Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWCs) have been documented on lands managed by the Farmington Field Office during inventories conducted by the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance in 2014 and 2015. Although these lands may meet the BLM's wilderness characteristics criteria, this alone does not guarantee their wilderness qualities will be preserved. The BLM can formally recognize these areas as having wilderness characteristics in the RMPA, and can also decide to manage them for preservation of these characteristics for the life of the plan. Without this recognition, these wilderness-quality lands become fair game for oil and gas leasing or other uses that could alter their cultural and ecological integrity and future wilderness potential. Protection of LWC units adjacent to the Bisti-de-na-zin Wilderness and current Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) contributes to preservation of a contiguous corridor of undeveloped landscapes – both natural and cultural – in an area under great pressure from oil and gas development.
Protecting the Greater Chaco Landscape and Visual Resources of Chaco Culture National Historic Park
About one-third of LWCs identified in the Farmington area are adjacent to existing Wilderness or WSAs. The remaining 10,000 acres encompass a portion of Crow Mesa. With close proximity to Chaco Culture National Historical Park and location within the greater Chaco landscape, many of these units contain archeological resources similar to those found within the park.
Current planning for oil and gas development includes BLM lands adjacent to Chaco Culture National Historical Park and within the range of known Chacoan archeological sites. In addition to advocating for recognition and protection of Lands with Wilderness Characteristics, the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance has protested oil and gas lease sales within the viewshed of Chaco Culture National Historical Park to protect archeological resources outside of the park and the scenic vistas and dark night skies that contribute to the overall park experience.
What Makes These Areas Special?
Geological and Paleontological Resources
Layers of interbedded sandstone, shale, mudstone, coal, and silt have eroded into an unusual landscape comprised of strange rock formations. Amid these geologic layers, a diverse assemblage of well-preserved fossils (petrified logs, leaves, and turtles to name a few) reveal a slice of Earth's biological history.
Cultural Significance
Contiguous human occupation in this area dates back over 10,000 years. Diverse cultural resources are present throughout this region of northwestern New Mexico.
These areas are considered part of the greater cultural landscape of the Chaco Culture and hold cultural significance for Puebloan and Dineh peoples, as well.
Wildlife and Habitat
Diverse vegetation combines with rugged terrain to provide habitat for an array of species including turkey, mule deer, black bear, elk, and raptors such as the ferruginous hawk, a candidate endangered species.
Recreational Opportunities
Preserving these lands enhances recreational opportunities for local communities and area visitors and helps retain the unique scenic value of these often surreal landscapes. Activities such as hiking, sightseeing, backpacking, climbing, hunting, camping, birdwatching, and photography could all be enhanced by protection.
Public Involvement is Key!
Federal law requires the BLM to involve the public throughout the planning process. Public scoping for the RMPA occurred from February through May of 2014; the Final Public Scoping Report was released in November of 2014. The Assessment of the Management Situation, which lays the groundwork for the RMPA, was completed in March 2015. At this point in time, the RMPA draft is slated for release in fall of 2016 (note, this is one year later than previous timelines released by the Farmington Field Office). Its release will trigger a 90-day public comment period. This extended timeline provides an excellent opportunity to increase local and national support for protection of these lands. Your help is needed to spread the word about this planning process and recruit supporters for land protection. Add your name HERE to stay updated on Action Alerts.
Participate in the Management of YOUR Public Lands
The 90-day public comment period provides an opportunity for YOU to express your concerns about the management guidelines proposed in the RMPA. By law, the BLM must consider and address these concerns in the RMPA finalization process. The Farmington Field Office will also hold a series of public meetings during this time. You can find updated information about the RMPA process on their planning page at http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/fo/Farmington_Field_Office/ffo_planning/farmington_rmp/rmpa_mancos.html.
What You Can Do
- Stay informed via our Farmington Action mailing list. Add your name HERE.
- Visit the Farmington Field Office Planning page online.
- Review the posted public documents.
- When it is released, take time to review the draft RMPA.
- If you wish to comment, consider attending one of our comment writing workshops. These will be ongoing in the local area throughout the comment period.
- Attend public meetings to stay informed, learn about the perspectives of community members, and talk directly with BLM personnel.
- Encourage your friends, family, and larger community to get involved and stay involved. After all, these are OUR public lands!

New scholarships announced for high achievers, VA residents
Liberty University has increased its college scholarship offerings for both high academic achievers and Virginia residents by nearly $9 million. Beginning with the Fall 2013 semester, Liberty is offering new scholarships for select salutatorian and valedictorians. It is also increasing its Liberty Academic Scholarship and scholarship amounts awarded to Virginia residents.
The Salutatorian Scholarship and the Valedictorian Scholarship will award full tuition to 100 students (50 valedictorians and 50 salutatorians) each academic year, totaling about $4.2 million in scholarships.
"Liberty University is committed to ensuring the best and brightest are rewarded for their academic achievements," said Chris Johnson, senior vice president for enrollment management. "These new scholarships are designed to help future Champions for Christ start pursuing their dreams and impacting the world. As Liberty continues to grow, so does its academic prowess and reputation among other institutions."
The Liberty Academic Scholarship offerings will be increased by nearly $2 million. These scholarships reward high academic success, based on cumulative GPA, as well as scores on the SAT and ACT tests.
Liberty's Virginia Scholarship will increase to $1,500 for all new students from the commonwealth. This investment, expected to be more than $2.8 million, reflects Liberty's continued commitment to staying competitive among Virginia schools.
"By offering this scholarship increase for Virginia residents, Liberty is showing its commitment to making education affordable and available to anyone, especially those who are in our own backyard," Johnson said.
Liberty anticipates the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant to increase, which would give even more aid to Virginia prospective students.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Face it: DNA can paint a portrait
Q. Blood found at the scene of a murder is probably the killer's, but the DNA doesn't match any in the database. So how can authorities draw up a sketch of the murderer's face for their search? Assume it's sometime in the future and the science of genetics has progressed accordingly. –J. Teixeira
A. Forensic experts say that if features such as eye and hair color are determined by one or a few genes, identifying these traits of a suspect may be relatively simple, though height and weight may be harder, says Nigel Calder in Magic Universe. A fascinating line of research regarding faces blends fundamental and forensic science. No two faces are ever exactly the same, not even those of identical twins. If Mother Nature varies human faces by shuffling a reasonably small number of genes, each definable face should be genetically traceable.
In fact, says Calder, researchers at University College of London have experimented with matching 3-D scans of volunteers' faces with their DNA samples. As medical physicist Alf Linney put it, "Sometime in the future we hope to be able to produce a photorealistic image of an offender's face, just from the DNA in a spot of blood or other body fluid found at a crime scene," i.e., leaving one's face in a DNA fingerprint.
Q. Egyptian mummies of 6,000 years ago– people and pets–you've heard about. But how about mummies out of "Nature's freezer" from 10,000-40,000 years ago? –E. Hillary
A. In Egypt, some 70 million people over a 3,000-year span wound up going through the elaborate two-month mummification process, and not just the pharaohs but virtually everyone who could afford it, says Jocelyn Selim in Discover magazine. Millions of animal mummies were buried right alongside their owners.
Nature did it cheaper and simpler. Animals such as woolly mammoths, stag moose, and steppe bison were preserved in the perennially frozen tundra, or permafrost, of northern Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Canada and Alaska. They underwent a form of natural mummification, resulting in desiccated or dried-out bodies, says Ian M. Lange in Ice Age Mammals of North America. Not freeze-dried in the camping food sense, but rather with body moisture frozen in place, and in time the ice separated from the carcass, leaving behind a shrunken, dried body. This happened to early people as well, such as the "bog men" of Scandinavia. The remains of hair, skin, innards, and facial features add greatly to our knowledge of Pleistocene life.
Preservation of some animal cadavers is so good, adds Val Geist of the University of Calgary, that a friend made soup from well-preserved horse bones (awful!) and the neck of a 35,000-year-old Alaska long-horned bison (not bad).
"Some 18 ice ages have come and gone over the past 2 million years, with only mummies of the last ice age still around," he says.
Q. You hear a lot about the 'wind chill factor' on the Weather Channel. How do you figure WC anyway– what's the formula? –P. Michaels
A. It'll be a cold day in Helena or anywhere else before people start committing this one to memory, or the Celsius version either: Windchill (F) = 35.74 + .6215T - 35.75(V to .16 power) + .4275T(V to .16 power), where T is temperature and V is wind speed in mph, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service. Uggh! You can use your calculator to figure that a 15 mph wind will make 0 degrees F feel like -19F to people or animals (far easier is to consult a WC chart!). Though your car's radiator won't "feel" the WC, it will drop to the ambient temperature faster. For example, if it's -5 outside with -26 WC, your car will feel only the -5 but will chill down faster once leaving the garage.
Q. Why is vitamin C called vitamin C, and what is a vitamin anyway? Whatever happened to vitamins F and G? –G. Wald
A. The C indicates it was the third vitamin ever identified, say Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson in
Napoleon's Buttons: 17 Molecules That Changed History. The naming system has some flaws though: The word "vitamin" comes from a contraction of "vital" and "amine," meaning a nitrogen-containing organic compound, because it was originally thought all vitamins contained at least one nitrogen atom. But only the B vitamins actually do. The original B vitamin was later discovered to consist of more than one compound, hence vitamin B1, B2 etc (but no 4, 8, 10, 11). Also, several supposedly different vitamins were found to be the same compound, and thus the terms vitamin F and vitamin G have fallen out of use.
Now for a pet curiosity: Why don't your dog and cat need as much dietary vitamin C as you do?Actually, they need none at all, says Le Couteur. In both-and most other mammals– ascorbic acid is made in the liver from the simple sugar glucose. Humans are one of the exceptions and would do well to get their "RDA" of C.

Paris, Mon Amour (I)

Adevarul este ca Parisul e un oras superb, iar o vacanta de o saptamana nu e nici pe departe suficienta pentru a-l vedea cum se cuvine.
L-am vizitat pentru prima data in primavara. De atunci, am mai fost de doua ori, dar din pacate doar in tranzit, n-am avut vreme sa ne oprim. E unul din orasele pe care l-as revedea oricand cu drag.

Hi Wind. It was exactly 5 years ago yesterday when I last left Paris. These images are so stunning that I may never convert my photographs to digital !
Composition on Tour Eiffel, Notre-Dame & second last (lamp) shot are amazing but special mention for Boulevard image... Wow. I loved Montmartre as I know you would and you have done the area justice here. It's sad that in such a great city of wealth that poverty exists. I'm pleased you showed Affiche......or is that an idea for people who do not understand French to start donating money towards your blog !! ha ha

My only Paris adventure was six years ago and lasted only a few days, Wind, but your photographs brought back a few pleasant memories. I especially enjoy seeing photos of the Seine River.
As usual, your photography is outstanding and a pleasure to view.

Yes, probably the best city in the world, right after Prague ;)
About two decades since last I've been there. Thank you for the memories, and there's still something left for me to do in Paris ... Great, great photography of yours !
Please have a good Tuesday.

Hi all
I have two problems. When I shutdown my computer [Start > Turn off Computer] [XP SP2] ; as I do this my PC freezes around two minutes and then the options come up [Turn off, restart etc].
What could be the cause of this.
Also when trying to delete certain programs using the program uninstaller or ADD/REMOVE programs an error comes up with "Unable to uninstall , check that its not safe mode etc etc"
I also use CCleaner and have tried to uninstall through this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you .

Linda was fantastic as soon as she arrived she engaged with the children. Both children loved her and it was there first time being left with someone they didnt know as normally family have looked after them. We would love to have Linda back again as we had a worry free evening out and knew that the children were in safe hands. My daughter asked on waking this morning where Linda was as she wanted to play with her again. Thank you a truly fantastic service and a lovely sitter and two happy children.
First & foremost I would like to say Megan was a great hit with the children. They loved spending time with her and enjoyed the day. Megan impressed me greatly a telephone call the day before to find out more about the children likes & dislikes. A text to inform me she was on her way. Arriving early to get to meet the children before I left for work. Megan is an absolute gem and I do hope we are able to see her again.
Elizabeth was brilliant with our young baby and our ten year old. He said she was fun, friendly, kind and comforting while little one was upset. They played games and chatted. Very pleased with her service and would book again, recommend her. N.b was our second time using sitters and first time during day hours so was quite anxious about how it would go. Glad we had her.

Ride the Rockies gets dirty: Leadville to Granby
After yesterday's long day of climbing, today's 94 miles and 4,000+ of elevation gain actually looked slightly mild on the map. I took my time rolling out of Leadville on Highway 91 towards the old mining town of Climax, and the first ascent of the day, Fremont Pass.
Though the pass rises to just over over 11,300 feet, the climb from the south is not incredibly challenging due to the elevation of Leadville (10,152 ft — highest incorporated city in the U.S.).
One aspect of Ride the Rockies I've come to genuinely appreciate is the friendships that can be formed in a short time. On my first night of the trip, I shared a table and O'Dells 90 Schilling with "Vince" from Alexandria, VA. Vince, like a lot of the riders on this journey, has a great story on why he got in to cycling and what made him choose Ride The Rockies as his big trip of 2012. We hit it off well and have ridden together the last few days. As I crossed the top of Fremont, I saw Vince again and we agreed to ride together for the remainder of day four.
The descent from Fremont Pass to Copper is typically fast, but since this side of Highway 91 is under construction, we were warned to take caution on the recently milled road. After reaching Copper, we headed northeast on the Ten Mile Recreational Pathway through Officer's Gulch and into Frisco.
From Frisco we wrapped around Dillon Reservoir, which offered spectacular views, then north through Silverthorne and on to the final big climb of the day at Ute Pass.
The Ute Pass climb is 5.3 miles and averages around a 5% grade. The top of the pass, at mile 58, was again festive with food vendors, music, and an emcee offering prizes. The descent down the other side, now CO Road 3, was rough. Off in the distance we were treated to views of the Gore Range, which runs 60 miles through several Colorado counties.
After the descent, we reached a 15 mile section of hard packed dirt roads. We were prepped about this heading in to the trip, and I was quite looking forward to it. Riding the Rockies would not be complete without a section of back-roads riding.
The Rockies are a rough and challenging place, and I'd not want to have a tour of them without experiencing such a section of road. As a bonus, it also provided some of the best views of unadulterated open space the ride has crossed yet. No doubt this section of the day was challenging, but in my opinion, that is exactly what Ride the Rockies should be.
After the dirt road ended, Vince and I kept a solid pace heading toward Granby. We reached Granby with about 96 miles on our computers, so we decided to head out past the town some just to get to the century mark. Our first and only 100 mile day of the trip.
Now it's time to wash the dirt off, down some grub at the festival, and toast a pint to another great day of riding in the Rocky Mountains.

In the last few years, Steel Vintage Bikes have sold over 1000 complete bicycles, over 300 bicycle frames and many, many parts to our customers from all over the world. All the bicycles you see here have been meticulously restored by our team of mechanics, serviced at our workshop in Berlin and safely shipped via our global delivery service.
Faliero Masi – the founder of Masi – will be forever known as 'the tailor'. He had a very modern approach to bicycle design, as he thought it necessary for a bicycle to be made exactly for the rider and their chosen discipline, hand-building the frames himself like a suit. Models like the Gran Criterium and Prestige were born out of this mould, and are still revered by racers and enthusiasts around the globe.
Here you can find a catalogue of every Masi we have sold to date. However, we regularly update our website with new products; subscribing to our newsletter means you are first to see what is coming soon.
