Release Notes: The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Dec/03). Because the "ip=frommedia" boot parameter made Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live's vmlinuz boot slowly, it was replaced with "ip=", which is accepted by live-boot with same function and is shorter. When creating a recovery zip file, if an image is included it is not compressed. When a recovery ISO/zip file is created, Clonezilla now honors the original splash mechanism.

Release Notes: This release brings a couple fixes related to handling errors during database updates. Constraint violations now have a separate exception type to distinguish them, and row adds/updates have been reworked so constraint violations do not leave behind partial updates.

Release Notes: This beta version brings a pack of new features, including screensavers associated with the nodes (for volunteer comping models), numerous improvements in the administration console, native ability for the tasks to notify local and remote listeners, and a lot more.
decotengu is a dive decompression library to experiment with various implementations of the Buhlmann decompression model with Eric Baker's gradient factors. The results of decotengu calculations are decompression stops and tissue saturation information. Third party applications can use those results for data analysis purposes or dive planning functionality.
Release Notes: All calculations are now performed using pressure instead of depth. This release implements a decompression model validator to check whether the first decompression stop is at an ascent ceiling.
LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. LAM was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user. It abstracts from the technical details of LDAP and allows persons without technical background to manage LDAP entries.

Bio and Links
July 17,2013 Today was one of the hardest day of my life My husband passed away, he got up and sat in his recliner and laid back I was doing something with one of the grand kids and was talking to him when he didn't respond to me a feeling came over me that something was wrong, I went to him and he was gone. He had been a heart patient for several years. He just went to sleep, no suffering, for that I am glad, besides me he left 3 sons and 8 grand kids and 2 great grand kids, 2 brothers 1 sister many nieces and nephews, many good friends and a wonderful church family, all of the was much loved by him and they all loved "PAP", I have asked a friend to manage his account.
His name was Calvin Mallory and was buried in Paradise Cemetery in Livingston Co. Ky, Please visit his memorial.
I live in Mayfield, Ky. was born in Livingston
County KY,, My husband is from Paducah, ky After we married in 1968 we lived in Louisville, Ky South Carolina and in Florida,spent time in Michigan, Indiana, Texas,South Carolina,As a child I lived 7 years in Ypsilanti Michigan with my parents, but the best Place in the world was home in Western Ky. There are very few people in Livingston County that I am not related too.
I enjoy find a grave very much, my main goal is to put flowers on as many memorials as possible, because I believe every body should have a flower, I just finished a cemetery with 38 grave that had been posted since 2008 and there was not one flower on any of them, that's why I think if you create a memorial take a extra minute and give them a flower, I would rather have the numbers for flowers then memorials posted. No one should be forgotten, I don't want any one I know to go without a flower.
I also like to post as much info. as possible.If I post from a cemetery or from other finds I will run on ancestry and try to find information, because everybody has a history and if I can find anything for family members looking for information, I have a lot that someone else had posted for my family and I appreciated it very much. I want more the name n birth, and death date
I want the families who see my memorial, and know that someone cared enough to do a little research to find out who their families really are, those who don"t look for additional info. to me are just out for the numbers for names posted.
I have traced 37 generations of my maternal grandfather.,They are the Day's from England, to the hills of Tennessee, Virginia to Livingston County Ky. I have 9 generations of my mothers mother, they are the Heltons, and the Ringstaff as the main ones. The Heltons are of Cherokee Indian background. My faternal grandparents are Driskills, Southern, and Ringstaff as the main ones.
I have two sons, 8 grandchildren 5 boys 3 girls .
I had a granddaughter born April 12,2012 day before my birthday, what a great present, She sure is beautiful and sweet.
9/10/2012 healthy baby girl born today 6lb 3oz 18 inches long My first great grand daughter.
9/17/2012 2nd great granddaughter born today 7 lb 1oz 18 1/2 inches long both are very beautiful little babies.
I an now fully retired, so I could have more time to enjoy things I like to do, one is doing find a grave and doing the genealogy research which I enjoyed very much , I love seeing all the names falling in line with each other. I have tried to make visits to a lot of older members of my family, before they are all passed away.Some of them still have a lot of knowledge about the family, they have enjoyed seeing the information I have gathered, because they have forgotten or else never knew about it, I found a picture of my grandfather at the age of 14 that my aunt had never seen, and it made her cry, also had pictures of grandparents she never knew. I have found a lot of pictures of my deceased grandparents and great, and great great grand parents, we spend a lot of time wondering who they look like, it has been a great joy to me to find so many old pictures, The oldest is my 5th great grandfather who was in the Revoluntary war > I also have a picture of a grandfather in the War of 1812 .

Thank you
Thank you so much for your efforts. Many of my father's family were born and buried in 2 or 3 counties in Kentucky - Harden's in Shady Grove, Marvels and Walkers in Sugar Grove and Baker Cemeteries as well as McDowells and Simpson's whom I'm still locating. You work and kindness has been appreciated. Sorry to hear about your loss�

Patricia, I sent you an e-mail, but it was returned. Infant Male Houser is actually Albert, and he is buried, along with his parents, in Houser Grove C of C. And Alfred Houser's death certificate lists "Houser Grove" as the burial place . . . Actually, I'm not sure if the "Houser Cemetery" actually exists because it has the same coordinates as the Houser-Harper cemetery...

RE: welcome
Patricia, I was so glad to hear from you. I do not know much about doing this, but am really interested. I was trying to leave a message and flower for Calvin, and as you could see I only left a flower. I appreciate so much what you did for Jack. My neighbor Susan does this, and hopefully she can help me. Would love to be able to get with you.
Love Your Cousin,

Banks Family in Wood county, Ohio
First let me say I'm so very sorry for you loss, and hope day gives you a bit more peace. It's never easy to loose a loved one.
I noticed you posted a good number of memorials for The Banks Family in Wood County, Ohio Ray, Alice and some of their children. I'm looking for Ralph who was born in 1901 and married Esther Mae Treasure. Do you know where or when he died? Did he and Esther have children. I've not been able to locate anything on them. Thank you.
Again my deepest condolences.

Red 5 confirms lay-offs, but all may not be as it seems
Yesterday, we reported that Red 5 Studios had cast a number of its employees back into the choppy seas of unemployment, and today, the developer released a statement that more or less amounts to "Yeah, we laid-off some people, but look! There's a butterfly – over there, right behind that giant stack of normalcy and never-been-better!"
According to Kotaku's ever-useful sources, however, something's amiss.

Shanghai: Q3 revenue drops 94% for The9 after losing WoW
Shanghai-based MMO operator, The9, has reported that Q3 sales dropped 94 percent after loosing World of Warcraft to NetEase in China.
However, the company remains optimistic, as revenues for Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Jiu Zhou Zhan Ji, Granado Espada, and FIFA Online 2 increased 55 percent compared to the previous quarter, while attracting 3.4 million active users when compared to last quarter's 3.2 million active users.
While that is good news for the company, it just goes to just how massive the WoW beast really is no matter where you go.
More through Gamasutra.

WoW goes back online in China
WoW's now fully up and running in China again after over two months downtime, as you can see here.
Local operator NetEase has also confirmed that the Chinese language version of Wrath of the Lich King is complete and is about to be submitted to the Chinese government for approval.
There more on Gama about the amount of money Blizzard and NetEase have burned through the transition period from previous operator The9. In short – "a lot".

Weekly MMO news round-up: Trouble Edition
It's Saturday again, and time for your dose of MMO news.
This one has been branded the "trouble" edition, because certain MMOS were either in trouble, or getting out of it this week.
First off, Stargate Worlds is rumored to be in massive trouble, Age of Conan isn't in as much any more, and China has ungrounded World of Warcraft but only a tiny bit. It can still go out on dates, but not whore about the countryside like it had been doing. What a tart.
Other than those bits, the week in MMOs was a bit uneventful. Yeah sure, the major news hit the front page as usual, but there are a few things you may want to know about that didn't. For that, and the rest of it, along with a song devoted to Second Life, read on below.

Chinese WoW down since June 7, no date for game to come back online
The Chinese version of World of Warcraft is still offline, according to this Yahoo! report, having been taken off the air on June 7 when Blizzard's contract with The9 expired.
As the piece notes, new operator NetEase wasn't ready to have the game up and running at the time, and clearly still isn't. No one appears to have a set date for play to recommence.
Whoops. Full details through there.

Why did Blizzard switch to NetEase in China? For $90 million a year, says Pachter
Blizzard didn't specifically say this morning why it's dropped The9 in favour of NetEase to run its Chinese WoW operation, but Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter's claimed the answer's simple: it's going to make a mother-trucking boatload more money from the new deal.
"The company had previously contracted with The9, but the current arrangement will expire in June 2009," said Pachter in a note this afternoon.
"Under the terms of its contract with The9, Activision Blizzard received a royalty of 22% on revenues generated in China. We estimate that the current arrangement generated revenues of around $50 – 55 million annually (using most recent subscriber figures), at close to 100% margin. Although the terms of the new arrangement were not disclosed, we estimate that the royalty rate will increase to at least 55%, and that the new arrangement will generate revenues of over $140 million annually."
$90 million is probably a good reason to kick a partner into touch. But don't shit the bed just yet, share-buyers: Pachter said he believed the upside – approximately $0.04 per share – has already been factored into forecasts.

The Chinese government has rejected two applications to launch Wrath of the Lich King in the country, as the WoW expansion's content did not "meet requirements" thanks to a city raid and skeleton characters — the submitted version left out the Death Knight class.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
John Stuart Mill, the English utilitarian, concerns himself in this work with the problem of defining the limits of the power of the state to interfere with personal liberty. The result is one of the most important statements in the history of Western democracy. The essay is distinguished by its clarity and the orderly arrangement of its persuasive argument. The work reveals Mill's interest in the happiness and rights of all people and his serious concern that happiness may be threatened by governmental power unwisely used.
Mill states concisely that the purpose of his essay is to assert one very simple principle, as entitled to govern absolutely the dealings of society with the individual in the way of compulsion and control, whether the means used be physical force in the form of legal penalties, or the moral coercion of public opinion.

Another statement of the author's intention is found in the last chapter, "Applications," in which Mill states that two maxims together form "the entire doctrine" of the essay. The first maxim is "that the individual is not accountable to society for his...

God , I wish someone would say that this sheets do not stay at all on the bed !!!
I bought this for my granddaughters bed, which is a full, and had to return it and purchase a queen. The width of the full isn't really wide enough to supply any overhand on the sides of the bed, so if you need that overhand, order the next size up.
I am very thrilled with the bed in the bag set and my grand babies loved it. The sheet sets are very soft to the skin which I am very very pleased with.
I surprised my daughter with a new bedroom set. Pink and Purple are her favorite colors. So I def got a steal having to get them both in one comforter as well with it having matching sheets and pillow casses. She loved it and so did I.
its ok! my daughter likes it! the color could have been brighter

Use some common sense for once, the Jets were never going after Peyton. They were working on an extension w/ buttfumble for a while, they hired Tony Sparano as OC when we had Peyton's former OC on staff. Some common sense please.
Your memory would be incorrect, there was media speculation. The jets were nevers erious about Peyton, all you have to do is see who they hired as OC. Do you really think they thought they could get Peyton then hired Tony Sparano as OC?

Fourth-grade students at Horace Mann Laboratory School finished up their Rescue Reader book donation program Thursday.
Youngsters in Sara Rogers' class loaded up well over 1,000 books that will be sent to the African nations of Ethiopia and Uganda.
Students involved the entire school and spent time speaking to each class and encouraging donations. They also posted fliers throughout the school.
With just over 100 students in the kindergarten-through-sixth grade school, the total amount of books given averaged out to about ten per student.
The idea for taking part in Rescue Readers came from Rogers' practicum students — Northwest Missouri State University students preparing for careers in education.
"We were doing a lesson on community involvement," practicum student Amanda Capps said. "While talking about how groups can help meet the needs of a community, Jake (Krutzer) brought up the Rescue Readers, and the students wanted to help."
As the book drive progressed, the elementary students began learning about where the books will be going.
"We tied it in to culture lessons," said Krutzer, another practicum student. "We learned about Uganda and Ethiopia, and the kids saw where they were sending the books."
The African children who will receive the books are learning English as a second language.
Horace Mann fourth-graders turned the drive into something of a school-wide competition, which they won hands-down.
Horace Mann also raised roughly $80 to help offset the cost of shipping the books overseas.

Duchess Kate's baby gender slip
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 10:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 10:07 a.m.
Here is what's happening over at SantaRosaMom.com this week:
It's coming up fast, with egg hunts coming up even faster. Do you know of a family Easter event? Or perhaps you are planning an Easter event and want to let other families know about it. Share over at SantaRosaMom.com!
A mom of an 18 month old is preparing for when her daughter's father comes to visit by seeking out fun places for them to go. If you have any suggestions, please share them in the forums.
The big news of the week was the baby who was born with HIV, and who was successfully cured of the infection.
A mom was shocked when she came upon her young daughter's diet plan, and questions where she - and society - failed her by making her believe her body wasn't perfect.
It appears Kate Middleton accidentally revealed the gender of her baby. What do you think - prince or princess?
The Village
This story caught my eye - a tale of an abandoned baby that turned into a beautiful story of adoption.
With more than one kid, it's easy for one of them to feel left out. This was apparent when my daughter moved back home, and suddenly Taz was no longer center stage.

It can be hard to discuss money matters with older family members. Many of us may prefer to avoid such a sticky subject entirely. This reluctance can make it easy to overlook a potentially serious problem: financial abuse. It's a type of elder abuse, which affects more than 5 million older adults each year. And experts believe it's becoming more common.
Victims of financial abuse have money and belongings stolen from them. But it isn't simply about scams, cons, or identity theft. Older adults can face financial abuse even from those closest to them. Examples include a family member using an older adult's credit card without permission or changing the name on a victim's bank account, will, or title.
Like all types of elder abuse, financial abuse is a crime. It can happen anywhere - in an assisted living facility, a family member's house, even in the victim's own home. More than 90 percent of abusers are family members or close friends. These people may have drug or alcohol problems. They may also feel entitled to the older adult's money and possessions. Other potential abusers include caregivers, neighbors, or strangers scamming for financial gain.
Older adults who depend on others for care are more at risk for financial abuse. Other risk factors include:
Being a woman
Being older than 80
Feeling isolated or lonely
Suffering a recent personal loss
Having trouble managing finances
Having a physical or mental health problem
Recent research suggests older adults may be more prone to financial abuse because of changes in the aging brain. Through behavioral testing and neurological imaging, researchers compared how well younger and older people perceive trust. They found that older adults had a harder time determining when certain facial cues indicated untrustworthiness. The results may be related to the area of the brain that acts as an early warning system.
Determining if your loved one is the victim of financial abuse isn't always easy. Many victims are reluctant to discuss the abuse. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed. They may depend on the abuser for care.
With a little sleuthing, though, you may find clues that point to financial abuse, including:
Unpaid bills
Unexplained withdrawals from bank accounts
Piles of unsolicited mail asking for money
Changes to property titles, deeds, or mortgages
Suspicious new friends
Caregivers who ask excessively about monetary issues
You can help prevent financial abuse by keeping in contact with loved ones. Talking with them can help ward off feelings of isolation or loneliness. In turn, they will be less likely to suffer from any type of elder abuse. For these same reasons, encourage them to connect with friends or volunteer.
If you suspect abuse, don't ignore it. Call law enforcement or your local adult protective services agency. You can also find help through Eldercare Locator, a government service that connects older adults with local aging resources. Call 800-677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.

Globalization, Human Rights & Security
Women make up a majority of the world's poor; more than half of immigrants, refugees and casualties of armed conflicts; and they are often the first to feel the brunt of economic, political, environmental and humanitarian crises. At the same time, women are essential partners for promoting conflict resolution, reducing extremism and promoting post-conflict reconstruction and sustainable development. However, governments and international organizations often overlook the significant contributions and vital perspectives of women and girls, thereby undermining effective security policies and peace-building initiatives. Human rights advocates and security experts are calling for more efforts to invest in women, implement gender-sensitive laws and policies and ensure that women are included at decision-making tables.

But now W. Randall Jones, the founder of Worth magazine, is about to change all that. He's traveled to one hundred different towns and cities across the country and interviewed the wealthiest resident in each. No, these are not those folks who inherited their wealth, or happen to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Rather, these are the self-made types who, through hard work and ingenuity, found their own individual paths to financial success.
Remarkably, during his research, Jones found that these successful people were not so different from one another. They all shared many of the same traits and followed what the author calls the Twelve Commandments of Wealth: stay hungry (even when you're successful) . . . you really do learn more from failing than you may think . . . absolutely be your own boss, the sooner the better . . . understand that selling is the key to success . . . where you live doesn't matter . . . never retire, and other, more surprising revelations.

Digital Orthophotos (DOP)
Production of Orthophotos
The original is an aerial photograph showing an image of the earth's surface with a central perspective.
The central projection contains geometrical displacements caused by the tilting of the camera (i.e. when the airplane was swaying when taking the photo) and terrain relief. Therefore it does not have a uniform scale and does not allow to measure true distances.
Prior to the use of an aerial photo for measuring purposes like a map or for integration into a Geographic Information System, it is necessary to correct it geometrically and to establish a reference to a coordinate system. A digital terrain model has to be added and identical control points on the aerial photo and on the reference surface have to be identified.
Such a corrected and geo-referenced aerial photograph is called orthophoto.
There is a great number of possible applications for orthophotos like
- Town and village planning,
- Ecological, pedological, agricultural, geographical or archaeological studies,
- Hydro-engineering work,
- Identification of coastal changes,
- Detection of contaminated land,
- Historical comparisons,
- Preservation of evidence,
- Identification of sealed surfaces,
- Visualization of planned buildings and commercial sites,
- Monitoring of regulations for the protection of trees.
Digital orthophotos for Germany
Due to an administrative agreement, the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy manages the nationwide, state-overlapping distribution of the Digital Orthophotos from the survey institutions in the federal states.
Nevertheless this rule does not affect the direct data distribution option by the federal state survey institutions. And it remains the customer's decision where to get the data.
Offer and data description
The inhomogeneous datasets contain the Digital Orthophotos (DOP) for Germany as geo-referenced and differentially corrected aerial photos delivered by the survey administrations of the federal states.
The distributed units are referenced on tiles with 2 km x 2 km size. The ground resolution of the orthophotos is 40 cm or 20 cm, depending from the tiles.
Georeferencing in the reference systems of the German national survey is also depending from the tiles: Gauss-Krueger in the stripes or UTM in the respective zone.
The orthophotos are available in a colour version with 24 bit colour depth in the uncompressed TIFF format.
DOP distribution
The enormous data volume of the Digital Orthophotos is one of the reasons why we suggest to use our online service where the image data are available via standardized exchange procedures.
It goes without saying that it is also possible to contact our Dienstleistungszentrum and place an order directly with our service staff. There you will also find more information concerning data specifications and questions of charges and licenses, if needed.

Radio show host and attorney Warren Ballentine indicted
your black world
An attorney out of Chicago and national radio show host for the Radio One Network has been indicted after being accused of defrauding lenders out of more than $10 million. The indictment has been announced by the US Attorney's Office, where Ballentine is being accused of working with others to secure mortgages that were later deemed to be fraudulent.
The indictment includes six counts, including bank and wire fraud. Each count with a maximum prison term of 30 years. He could also be fined up to $10 million dollars on every count. He is set to be arraigned on February 5.
Prosecutors claim that Ballentine owns a law firm in suburban Country Club Hills, but he lives in Durham, North Carolina right now.
Dr. Boyce Watkins, a Finance Professor who has appeared on Ballentine's show, says that people shouldn't judge until the evidence is presented.
"Mortgage fraud is a complex issue where anyone going through documents with fine tooth comb can come up with something that you might have done illegally. I think people should wait until the evidence comes out before passing judgment," said Watkins.
Watkins also admits that with Ballentine's strong financial activism in the black community, there are a lot of reasons that federal prosecutors might want to see him go away.
"I don't presume to know if Warren is guilty or innocent, but I do know that the city of Chicago is about as corrupt as they come, so anything is possible in this situation," he said. "I've seen a lot of people get into serious trouble for less-than serious offenses."
