A truck driver from Canada could face charges from Monday's accident that left a Charlotte man dead.
The Eaton County Sheriff's Office says 53-year-old George Comrie died when the semi slammed into his vehicle on I-69 in Windsor Township.
Traffic was a standstill at the time, because of another accident involving a pop-up camper that rolled over in the median.
Four other people were taken to the hospital and all are expected to be okay-- including an man who was pulled from a burning car by Deputy Jody Mann.
The highway was shut down in both directions for nearly 8 hours.

The Big Projects
These smaller societies lacked personnel and resources for significant meteorological research. The great projects of the late Enlightenment were carried out by institutions that enjoyed generous funding and the full support of the state: the Societas meteorologica palatina and the Société royale de médecine. The Royal Society of London, whose connection with the state was more tenuous, provides an interesting counterpoint.
The Royal Society had maintained its interest in meteorology after the end of Jurin's group, publishing about 150 meteorological papers between 1750 and 1770.[67] Most of these were brief notices of spells
of unusual or hard weather or of rainbows, haloes, and other optical phenomena, submitted by provincial correspondents. Typical were "Observations of the late severe cold weather" of the winter of 1753–4 and "Concerning a very cold day, and another very hot day" in 1748—observations of at most a few days' weather, reporting only its temperature and general character and using outdated instruments.[68] Between 1750 and 1770 brief reports like these outnumbered meteorological registers (weather diaries covering a longer period) by almost two to one.
The contrast with the two decades after 1770 is striking. Between 1770 and 1790 registers and theoretical and experimental papers on meteorology outnumber brief, descriptive reports by eight to five. Several registers covered five or six years' weather; one spanned ten times as much. Contributors used instruments from the best artisans—Nairne and Ramsden, for example—and took care to describe their construction, calibration, and exposure.[69] Several contributors were on assignment for the East India or Hudson's Bay Companies and observed the weather at their employers' and the Royal Society's request. The arrangement reflects the kind of relations the Society enjoyed with semigovernmental commercial and exploring ventures.[70] The Society published their registers and those of provincial English correspondents in full.
In 1774 the Royal Society began keeping its own register of observations. Henry Cavendish submitted the Society's instruments to an
exhaustive exact experimental investigation prior to the institution of twice-daily observations, which continued until 1843.[71] The registers, printed in full in the Philosophical transactions , included readings of exterior and interior thermometers, barometers, hygrometers, and instruments to measure wind, magnetic variation and dip, and rainfall. Together with the contributions of the Society's correspondents, they constituted a far more extensive, detailed, and reliable source of data than had been available earlier in the century. The Society's registers were analyzed by its secretary Samuel Horsley, who calculated monthly mean, extreme, and mean morning and evening temperatures, extreme and mean pressures, the number of days on which the wind blew from each of the sixteen points of the compass, and the proportional rainfall in each month and season of the year.
Horsley also tested for the influence of winds and of the moon on the barometer. The moon was supposed to affect the weather by causing atmospheric tides; because its motions were periodic, a long enough series of observations might reveal correlations that would enable meteorologists to predict the weather. The theory ("so improbable, so destitute of all foundation," wrote Horsley) was eventually discredited, although adherents could be found well into the 19th century. As for the influence of wind direction on the barometer, this hypothesis contributed in the 19th century to the theories of wind rotation of H.W. Dove and others. Counting mean monthly barometer heights and corresponding directions of monthly prevailing winds, Horsley found a correlation: the barometer stood higher in months with winds in the semicircle WSW-W-N-NE; W and NE winds accompanied the greatest mean heights, and in seven months out of twelve the highest barometer reading occurred during a NE wind. Horsley must have been surprised when his count of the number of changes in the weather occurring within three days of the moon's syzygies and quadratures supported the hypothesis of lunar influence. He remarked only that the observations had not continued long enough to draw a firm conclusion.[72]
While Horsley was calculating, an epidemic—or, more properly, an epizootic—of cattle plague was raging through France. The quarantine and slaughter of thousands of infected cattle became necessary. Anne-Robert Turgot, Louis XVI's minister of finance, encountered bitter resistance from the peasantry; faulty communications between the central authorities and physicians in the provinces further inhibited effective action. In order to direct and enforce the necessary measures, Turgot called forth a Commission de médecine aux maladies epidémiques et epizootiques in 1776. It received letters patent in 1778 as the Société royale de médecine.[73]
The Society was charged with the medical police of France, formerly the responsibility of the intendants. Working through them, it centralized public health policy in a single state agency staffed by trained physicians. Its duties were varied: to regulate the distribution of patent medicines and mineral waters; deploy a network of provincial physicians to gather information on public health and the environment; establish sanitary measures and regulations; advise provincial physicians on the prevention and treatment of epidemics; and, in cases of epidemic outbreaks, coordinate and enforce appropriate measures.[74] The Society also took on all the attributes of a learned academy: titles of membership signed by its president and secretary, medals, prize questions, éloges , and a journal whose title, Histoire de la Société royale de médecine, avec les mémoires de médecine et de physique médicale, echoed that of its elder sister, the Paris Academy of Sciences.
Two aspects of the Society's operations concerned climatology. The first was the construction of "a medical and topographical map of all of France," toward which physicians "of all the cities of the realm" would contribute memoirs "on the nature of their climate (de aere, acquis, et locis ), and on the temperament of those who live
there."[75] The best of these medical topographies, as they were called, won annual prizes from the Society. They might cover nearly 100 pages of text with complete environmental and geographical descriptions of the author's region, including climate and topography, economy, hygiene, and endemic diseases.[76] By the outbreak of the Revolution, 226 topographies had been collected.[77]
The Society's network of provincial physicians also carried out a grand program of meteorological observation. Already in 1775, in the midst of the epidemic, Turgot had tested the waters by distributing questionnaires via the provincial intendants, asking physicians in their jursidictions for "the temperature and the [epidemic] constitution of the years 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775."[78] The resulting medicometeorological correspondence was continued by the Commission for Epidemics. After 1778, the authors of this correspondence became the Society of Medicine's network of observers.[79]
The direction of the network was undertaken by Louis Cotte, Oratorian priest and France's foremost meteorologist. Just a few years earlier Cotte had published the first textbook of meteorology based on observations—that is, the first to include many observations at all and to derive its discussions of the weather from them.[80] Cotte was especially interested in agricultural applications of meteorology. He had originally planned his Traité de météorologie as an extension of Duhamel's "botanico-meteorological" investigations; it is agriculture, he wrote, "which I have had principally in view in this work." He included medicometeorology as well, excerpting Malouin's
memoirs extensively. The goal of meteorology, he believed, is "the perfection of the sciences of agriculture and medicine."[81]
In the Royal Society of Medicine, Cotte had observers to pursue that goal. The requirements he imposed upon them were, in the words of one modern meteorologist, "very strict," and, in the judgment of another, comparable to mid19th-century standards.[82] "It is necessary first of all," Cotte warned, "to have good instruments." A Réaumur mercury thermometer was to be calibrated if possible against the Society's standard; the barometer, calibrated "with the greatest exactitude," should be equipped with a vernier and readable to an accuracy of tenths or twelfths of a line. The Society would recommend reliable artisans on request. Cotte specified the proper exposure for the instruments and set fixed times for observation.[83] "Great exactitude and a spirit of order—these are the principal requirements of the physicist who devotes himself to these sorts of observations."[84] These words might serve as a motto for late-Enlightenment physical science.
Cotte complained more than once that his observers' instruments were not comparable, that observers were not providing "an exact description" of their instruments, that the instruments were "defective. . .supplied by travelling barometer-peddlers." But he had to admire his observers' zeal.[85] By 1785, 150 provincial physicians were participating in the project; about 50 of them observed for more than a decade.[86] Modern climatologists agree that the Society's observers were the elite of the medical profession—otherwise they could not have followed Cotte's instructions at all. They generated a great mass of observations over the whole of France—the largest collection, most likely, prior to the foundation of national meteorological bureaus in the mid19th century. From these observations
meteorologists have been able to reconstruct the climate of France in the last years of the Old Regime.[87]
Cotte did not publish these observations in full; "Tables are not pleasant for the reader," he said, echoing Derham across a half-century.[88] Instead he published monthly summaries of the weather at each reporting location, including its "temperature" in terms of the Hippocratic categories cold and wet, cold and dry, warm and wet, and warm and dry, along with the usual means, extremes, and descriptions of diseases. Although the summaries resembled those of Derham's time, they were more plentiful and more consistent. Cotte arranged them in great tables (tables were not to be dispensed with entirely) that amounted to the first descriptions of the climate of a nation based on detailed, regular observations.
Cotte's tables represented a collection of data dense enough over a sufficient area to reveal something of the importance of space for the weather. "These extreme temperatures take place," he said, "at the same time over a very great extent of country."[89] This remark, made early in the Society's career, sounds like one of Derham's coincidences, only it covers more ground. A few years later Cotte wrote that the tables showed clearly "the influence of great variations of the atmosphere over a very great extent of country on the thermometer, and principally on the barometer."[90] These isolated suggestions mark the limit of Cotte's insight. He did not draw from the tables a description of the climate of France. Moreover, the tables' monthly means and extremes could not reveal the density of the weather in time. Because Cotte did not publish the full record of observations, his observers' efforts were of as little use to other meteorologists as they seem to have been to himself. They lay hidden in the Society's archives until climatologists began to explore them around the middle of the present century.
The Societas meteorologica palatina has enjoyed greater fame than its French sister, in part because it was an international organization whose members were the chief scientific institutions of Europe (more on this below). More significantly, the Palatine Society published the full record of its members' observations, which were excellent and became a valuable resource for 19th-century meteorologists.[91] The Society was a product of a late 18th-century enlightened state, the principality of the Palatinate or Kurpfalz. Cultural life flourished there under the patronage of the Elector Karl Theodor, who was keen on science and its contribution to his subjects' welfare.[92] Mannheim, Karl Theodor's capital, was one of Germany's centers of culture; the Elector lavished on it an Akademie der Wissenschaften, a Deutsche Gesellschaft, and a Deutsches Theater, and brought Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to write and play for him. He furnished an astronomical observatory with English instruments, then the best in the world, and directed his court chaplain and ecclesiastical councillor, Johann Jakob Hemmer, to assemble a cabinet de physique and offer lectures and demonstrations.[93] In the 1770s Hemmer investigated the electricity of flames, of dew, and of the atmosphere, and he was largely responsible for the erection of lightning rods throughout the Elector's extensive realm. His book on the subject went through two editions. Many German rulers bought it for distribution in their principalities.[94]
The idea for a Palatine meteorological society may have come from neighboring Baden. There, in 1778, the Karlsruhe professor of mathematics and physics Johann Böckmann founded the Badische
Witterungsanstalt, a network of sixteen observers within the margravate.[95] The project failed for lack of funds, but it probably inspired Hemmer, who hired Böckmann's instrument-maker and placed his own plans before the Elector.[96] Karl Theodor, who himself kept a weather diary, approved, and in 1780 the Societas meteorologica palatina received its charter as a three-member "Meteorologische Klasse" in the Mannheim Akademie der Wissenschaften. Hemmer, the Society's secretary, recruited observers, oversaw the construction of instruments for them, and edited the annual Ephemerides meteorologicae .
The Society's work was a model of exact experimental method. Hemmer followed Deluc closely in specifications for instruments. "We shall always search for ways to make observations more exact," he declared, "both for the sake of agriculture and for our health." Tubes of barometers and thermometers were to be exactly cylindrical, carefully cleaned, and filled with pure, boiled mercury, and the scales carefully prepared and exactly measured. Barometers were to be read to tenths of a line with the vernier against the cusp of the meniscus and thermometers to tenths of a degree. Care was to be taken to prevent disturbances from the observer's breath or candle. Observers could use their own instruments if they met these standards. Hemmer nonetheless dispatched to each of them a packet of instruments "whose comparability has been assured, sparing no expense": a barometer with correcting thermometer (the thermometer to correct for the effect of heat on the barometer), two thermometers (for exposure in sun and shade), and a hygrometer of Deluc's design (using a goose-feather quill that expanded with humidity). Selected observers received a magnetic declination compass as well. Hemmer also asked participants to observe wind direction and strength, cloud cover, precipitation and evaporation, river level, lunar phase, and medical and agricultural conditions. Hours of observation were set at 7 a.m., 2 p.m., and 9 p.m.; Hemmer supplied scales for wind
strength and cloud cover and symbols for precipitation and other "meteors."[97]
Along with these exacting specifications went a new strategy of recruitment. In order to secure continuity in observations, Hemmer invited scientific institutions rather than individuals to participate; each institution would appoint one of its members to observe. No fewer than thirty-seven academies, universities, and monasteries in Europe and America responded, and Hemmer soon had an international network staffed by the world's capable workers. Their registers—reliable, uniform, and, in a number of cases, extending over a decade—appeared in extenso in the Society's Ephemerides . This was a "princely plan of operations," in the words of the 19th-century meteorologist John Daniell,[98] carried out at princely expense: 1,500 gulden annually for the Ephemerides alone, or about a third more than the salary of a senior member of France's Académie royale des sciences.[99] The resulting collection, wrote Daniell, "contain[ed] more data for a correct history of the weather than all other works on the same subject taken together."[100] Such was the stature of the Palatine Society that its hours of observation—the so-called "Mannheim hours"—and the "Mannheim cloud cover and wind scales" were widely adopted and remained in use for more than a century.
Several of Hemmer's observers carried out extensive climatological analyses of their own weather records. Typical was the contribution of Nicholas de Béguelin of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. He reported monthly maxima and minima for the thermometer and barometer, their monthly ranges, and annual and monthly means; the same for morning and evening thermometrical observations, together with maximum diurnal range; for the hygrometer and magnetic needle monthly mean morning, afternoon, and evening values, the mean of all three, and monthly extremes and extreme ranges; and monthly
frequencies for each direction and degree of wind strength and for each degree of cloud cover, all according to Hemmer's scales.[101] Participants contributed a wealth of other material, which Hemmer published indiscriminately: ten years' tidal observations from Padua, hourly barometric measurements over an entire month, hourly observations of magnetic declination from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Hemmer's own measurements of atmospheric electricity, and van Swinden's collection of temperature observations taken four and five times daily in nine Belgian towns during a cold spell in December 1783. From analyses of contributors' registers, Hemmer's assistant Karl König published tables like Cotte's but far more complete. A single table for each reporting location presented monthly summaries. A "general table" of all locations showed annual extremes, means, and ranges; extremes of monthly means for barometer, thermometer, and declination-needle; annual rainfall and prevailing winds; monthly sums of degrees of heat; and frequencies of wind strength and direction, "meteors," and cloud cover.
Although the collection was something of a miscellany, the observations and analyses were more consistent and rigorous than anything earlier in the century. In them we can see the first hints of a discipline of climatology: a standard and consistent practice in the gathering and analysis of weather data. This practice is reflected in the emergence of a standard set of climatological variables calculated by meteorologists such as Béguelin, König, and Horsley. Their work marks the beginning of a quantitative climatology.
The new climatology provided some definitive answers to old questions. Van Swinden, in an independent investigation, and two contributors to the Society's Ephemerides examined barometric observations taken five, six, and eighteen times daily over a year or more. They refuted the hypothesis of lunar influence but confirmed the diurnal variation, a daily fluctuation of the barometer that several earlier meteorologists thought they saw in their data.[102] These analyses
exploited the density of observations in time . The coverage of observations in space led meteorologists to a greater appreciation of its role in the weather. They could now trace the paths of weather events from one end of Europe to the other: the cold wave of the winter of 1775–6, for example, and the famous hailstorm of 13 July 1788, which by destroying crops across the most fertile regions of France contributed significantly to the trouble preceding the Revolution.[103] And they arrived at a clear statement of the spatial extent and of the motion of barometric variation. "Anyone who carefully examines and compares the barometric observations in volume I of the meteorological Ephemerides ," proclaimed Coelestin Steiglehner, "cannot fail to conclude that oscillations longer than one day extend over many places of diverse longitude and latitude."
From observations at London, Regensburg, and St. Petersburg, Steiglehner determined that a barometric minimum occurring around Christmas 1775 had traveled from west to east, striking each town in succession. Further analysis of data from London, Regensburg, St. Gotthard, Buda, Mannheim, and Vienna confirmed the rule "early in the west, late in the east."[104] F.X. Epp had drawn a similar conclusion from the observations of the network of twenty-four Bavarian observers he directed. The Churbayrische Akademie der Wissenschaften, a sister society to the Mannheim Academy after Karl Theodor inherited Bavaria in 1777,[105] established the network in the same year that the Palatine Society was chartered. From parallel barometric motions recorded by his observers Epp concluded that the causes of barometric variation extend over wide regions, perhaps over
hemispheres. He confirmed this conclusion by examining one month's barometric variations in five European towns, the data for which he found in the Palatine Society's Ephemerides.[106]
Finally, a few meteorologists began to synthesize descriptions of regional climates from observations. The Society of Medicine's medical topography project aimed at a "medical and topographical map of all of France." Van Swinden planned to determine the climate of Frisia from his own observations, and from others' observations throughout Holland he began to construct a picture of its provincial climates.[107] Epp expected from his collection "a more exact knowledge of [Bavaria's] climate" and of the "physical character of the land."[108] If the stations were properly distributed the observations would yield information on local climates as well.[109] None of these projects, however, was completed.

University President Luis Proenza and David Cummins, the vice president for finance and administration, sent a memo to faculty and staff today explaining Moody's actions:
Dear Colleagues,
We end the year with some good news from the investors service, Moody's, which has affirmed the A1 rating on our bonds, while upgrading our outlook from "negative" to "stable." Comments from Moody's in its investor report include recognition of our:
Moody's acknowledged the challenges and pressures facing our university and higher education, in general, as we all cope with state funding cutbacks, implementation of a funding formula tied to higher retention and graduation rates, and a statewide reduction in the number of high school graduates, creating a more competitive environment.
Moody's also commented on the challenges we face here at The University of Akron due to our significant level of debt, or a "highly leveraged balance sheet" as we have borrowed to fund our campus expansion and the significant improvements that have made us such an attractive urban campus.
While noting that a drop in enrollment this past year presents financial challenges, Moody's also comments on efforts to attract more prepared students and provide more degree options to non-traditional students (through weekend and evening courses, for example).
It is gratifying that this respected voice in the investor community recognizes our efforts during the last year to meet increasing financial challenges, strengthen our competitive position by responding to market demands and maintain our prominence among public research universities.
Separately, Cummins was quoted in Crain's Cleveland Business about the upgrade:
"It comes down to how well we can manage through the challenges we're currently facing," Cummins said. "I'm encouraged at a time like this that they'd change (our outlook). It's a point of pride for us."

The Islamic world is filled with barbarians and people that worship death. This is but another instance of a naïve Westerner thinking that these people think like we do. They don´t!
It a shame it ended this way - she leaves behind a husband and children. But why would a young woman go running around Turkey by herself? There´s more to the story that we may never know about.
At least the family knows now that she is not returning to them. A terrible ending to a story that has not yet been revealed.Turkish authorities had a man in custody and they may have ´helped´ him reveal the whereabouts of the woman.Very sad. Americans are far too trusting.
There may be more here than we Realize. On 1/7/13, Sarai Sierra flew to Istanbul. On 1/15/13, she flies from Istanbul to Amsterdam. The next day, 1/16, she flies from Amsterdam to Munich. On 1/19, she flies back to Istanbul from Munich. On 1/20, she was last seen by the owner of the Istanbul hostel where she was staying. On 1/21, she fails to board the flight for her return trip to NYC.Odd travel activity for a woman "vacationing alone in Istanbul". .
If you´ve traveled in that region, or talked to any who have, you hear thehorror stories about violence in Turkey.Getting stabbed or slashed is a typical way for unlucky tourists to die.Maybe they´ll ban knives there... ?Maybe not.Hard to imagine anyone, let alone an American female, would travel alone there.And a tragedy for her family and friends.
We do not have enough information to form an opinion on this sad story.On the face of it it appears that this woman went off looking for some kind of adventure, using her camera and photography as an excuse. It may have something to do with her online contacts with the man who is now a person of interest.We´ll see.
#4 been following too...this woman was either a covert agent ...undercover for this country or another ...on some kind of mission....crazy doesn´t explain her travel schedule...the fact husband turned over her computer so authorities found her communications with the suspected murderer gives pause ...Poor children
Just weird.
Programs on tax-funded ´Public,´ Broadcasting routinely portray an unrealistic view of traveling in many dangerous areas of today´s globe.
very sad outcome but I cannot say I´m surprised...
Yahoo story mentioned that she may or may not have contacted a Turkish man that she was corresponding with via email/internet.As the previous said, there´s more to the story.

10/100/1000 Multi-Segment Bypass Switch
Insert or remove any in-line appliance without downtime
10/100/1000 Multi-Segment Bypass Switch
Insert or remove any in-line appliance without downtime
The Multi-Segment Bypass Switch provides a 1U, high density, access solution for in-line network security appliances. Each of the four stations operates independently to ensure link protection monitoring of one to four critical network links at any one time. Individual IPS appliances can be connected, maintained or removed without affecting the operation of the remaining stations.
An exclusive Heartbeat feature monitors link status between the Bypass and monitoring tools for enhanced reliability. A configurable Heartbeat packet is injected into the monitor port link to help determine availability of attached monitoring tools. For instance, the Bypass Switch can automatically switch network traffic around an unresponsive IPS appliance – even if the IPS is still powered on. Once the IPS re-establishes a connection, traffic is re-routed to the monitor port for continued operation.
Fail-open Link Fault Protection
For added reliability, each of the stations feature active fail-open network link technology. In the event of power loss to the Bypass Switch, traffic continues to flow through the network links, but is no longer routed to the monitoring tools. Additionally, redundant power supplies are a standard feature.
Each of the Bypass Switches also supports fail-open protection via the Heartbeat packet, in the event power to the monitoring tool fails.
Use of a Bypass Switch ensures that important data on critical links does not fail due to in-line devices. This allows attached monitoring tools to be removed and replaced without network downtime. This alleviates issues with traffic congestion affecting performance and link behavior caused by an IPS. Once an IPS behaves as expected, network traffic is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device again, allowing it to resume its critical functions.
High Performance, Low Latency
The Net Optics throughput and real-time data forwarding hardware helps monitoring tools ensure data protection and does not cause interruption to critical applications like VoIP communications. A Bypass Switch and in-line monitoring tool create a comprehensive solution for improved Infrastructure Prevention and network health.

This evening's episode of BBC's quiz programme QI ("Quite Interesting") is running with the theme of hoaxes.
They have just covered the moon hoax - a quick-fire demolition of all the idiotic reasons-for-thinking-it-didn't-happen, delivered by Stephen Fry with undiluted contempt for HBs. Comedian David Mitchell was unable to laugh about it - to paraphrase him, he said something along the lines of, "The human race is in trouble when people cannot believe anyone achieved something that they cannot achieve themselves." He also expressed dismay at the stat that 25% of Brits believe nobody ever landed on the moon.
They covered the movement of the flag, the lack of a crater under the lander, and the footprint that would have been similar had the regolith been made of flour. In a couple of minutes they delivered material that would not have embarrassed the likes of Jay or Jason or Phil - in a popular programme.

Unix Interactive Tools
Unix Interactive Tools enables users to view and handle their file-system with ease. The software package itself is made up of three main components: a file browser, process viewer/killer, and a Hex/ASCII viewer. With these tools, new system administrators can complete the necessary duties of overseeing their new kingdom more quickly and efficiently.
The file system browser is made up of two side-by-side panels. Each displays the current working directory of the user who initiated the UIT session. Inside the panels, along with the directory listing, is info about the files themselves (permissions, size, etc). The windows can be easily navigated using the cursor keys and the page-up and page-down keys. These keys move a highlighted bar which shows the current file/directory selected. The ENTER key is used as well, to move in/out of the highlighted directories. Lastly, the file browser contains a shell-like command line, for typing in normal shell commands, and also has a status bar which contains optional "hot-keys". These keys contain such commands as move, copy, and mkdir.
The UIT package also includes a process viewer/killer. Like the file browser, this process utility can be navigated by the user via the cursor keys. Similar to the file browser, the viewer has a status line with certain hot-keys that can be used. The process viewer/killer lists all the current processes the user is running, or if you are running UIT as root, it shows all the processes that are running. Other things listed are the PID (Process ID) number and the TTY (terminal used by the process). The viewer's ability to examine/manipulate a process quickly and efficiently serves a functional purpose in the lives of new (and experienced) system administrators. This tool wouldn't be used for a "quick glance" of the processes running, such that ps -aux would provide. It is more of a detailed outlook at the processes.
The last component of the UIT package is a Hex/ASCII file viewer. It can be used to view and edit executables or data files. This is a great tool for those who have done assembly in DOS, for they can recognize the structure that the Hex/ASCII viewer resembles.
I highly recommend the UIT package for new administrators because of its usefulness in providing a global view of any particular filesystem. This package enables users to maintain their system efficiently, without having to worry about which shell command to use, how to pipe to an output file, etc. It's all in there, and the UIT package makes it simple. I don't recommend using the UIT package without first learning some of the basic Unix commands, though, because there are times when you may want to use that nifty shell command line that comes in the file browser!
Unix Interactive Tools was written by Tudor Hulubei and Andrei Pitis. The current version for UIT is 4.3a. The complete source to the UIT package can be found at ulise.cs.pub.ro, in the /pub/public/linux/uit directory. Check it out, and tell me what you think!
Clarence Smith, Jr., is a pre-communications student at the University of Washington, studying Public Relations and Sociology. He is a Linux Hobbyist, and hopes one day to become a developer of software packages for Linux.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Risk Reduction in the News – Response from the NLN Medical Advisory Committee
2012 Conference featured in Oncology Times
Clinical Trials - Patient Participation
NLN Position Papers: Risk Reduction, Risk Reduction Summary, Diagnosis and Treatment, Exercise, Training, Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema, Supplement BC-Related LE
The NLN is thrilled to announce the debut of the NEW Lymphedema Awareness Butterfly Pin!
Gradually becoming a nationally recognized symbol for lymphedema awareness and the inspirational movement behind it, the transformational butterfly represents the journey of lymphedema over the past 15 years, from complete obscurity to the gradual light of awareness that is beginning to shine on this largely unrecognized and under-treated epidemic.
Designed by Jeanne Tassis (who chose the butterfly as the symbol for lymphedema awareness and created the first pin), Mitchelle Tanner (NLN Assistant Director) and Cheryl Feeney of Healing Ribbons, the pin is a smaller, more detailed version of the original butterfly pin. The new pin features both ribbon and butterfly in finely polished silver steel with sleek turquoise enamel on the ribbon. Our first all-in-one butterfly pin, its petite dimensions and tasteful design are perfectly suited for both women and men of all sizes, young and old.
By wearing our pins, we are making the butterfly and turquoise ribbon a universally recognized symbol for lymphedema awareness, in the same way that the pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness and the red ribbon, AIDS awareness, and making a difference in the lives of millions of lymphedema patients by creating awareness about this long-overlooked and often disabling condition — one person at a time.
In addition, by purchasing your pin from the National Lymphedema Network (NLN), you help support new and ongoing nationwide outreach programs and services. Your purchase today helps ensure that information, education and guidance will be available tomorrow and everyday for lymphedema patients, those at risk, family members, health care professionals and the general public across the country.
For those who prefer an alternative to the butterfly, a small brushed pewter NLN Logo Pin featuring a stylish rendition of the distinctive NLN logo, with a turquoise fabric ribbon attached behind it (can be worn with or without the ribbon), is now available at a special clearance price of $5.00 (includes s/h - California residents add 9.75% tax)! An attractive and inspirational accessory for any wardrobe. Available while supplies last.
Stock up for birthdays, holidays and special occasions, and wear your pins proudly!

Good daytime location staff were very friendly
Street noise - but its a central location and it didnt spoil our trip
The staff are great. The staff are always great. I was shocked when I read reviews saying "rude staff." When we checked in/out the front desk staff were wonderful. Room service staff were fast and polite. Even the cleaning lady was really nice. We arrived late and were upgraded to a suite with separate living room and two bathrooms with free wifi at no charge. Everyone was very friendly and personable. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Top rate linens/pillows. The location is great. Two blocks to cable cars and a five minute walk to the subway and great food. It is so close to the subway we took the Bart from the airport for $8 a person. The Warwick has the best prices for that quality of a hotel in San Fran especially being so close to Union Square. It's quaint. It has an old fashion feel to it. It's a unique hotel.
The rooms do not have a/C. This is normally not a problem in San Fran. But our window faced Geary street. It was very loud. People were partying until 4 am every night; car music so loud the room vibrated, drunks were screaming in the street - so we had the choice of a hot stuffy room or noise keeping us from sleeping - which is a huge draw back from being so close to Union Square. We couldn't get to sleep at all until about 4 am when it all quieted down. This was my sixth visit to San Fran in four years and my fourth stay at the Warwick - so obviously we like the hotel. But this was he first time our window faced Geary street. It was horrible. A fan in the bedroom would have helped a lot.
I didi enjoy the restuarant as the brack was good
It could have been nearer to Union Square
Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Short walk to Union Sqaure/shopping/Cable Cars. Other amenities within a block..Starbucks, Walgreens, Deli. Reasonably priced breakfast in the adjoining dining room. Convenient for a quick 'fueling' before setting out in The City.
The only issue we encountered was a less than friendly waitress in the dining room.
the location was central and staff friendly
no ac and with open windows it was very noisy very early. The mattresses need to be renewed.
Only location!
Renovation in the hotel. Dirty rooms.Deposit 150$
nothing :(
- no warm water for several days during our stay - not friendly staff at all - room was dirty!!!! - furniture in the room is older than your grand-grand mother!!!!! - valet parking price is too high!!!
Rooms were beautifully decorated and a great value for a Union Square hotel. They offer smoking rooms, which is a rarity in SF.
No coffee maker in room and lobby coffee ends at 7:30 am.
The Hotel has a good position, it is really close to Union Square. If you don't have a car, you can use cable car or just walk around the area.
The room was really small (it was not possible to open completely the wardrobe because there wasn't space enough). The parking was really expensive, 37$ + taxes, and you have to wait 20 min to have your car ready), and also the wi fi connection. At the end we paid nearly 200$ in addition to the original price! (that was already high) only for 2 days of parking, 2 days of wi fi, 1 breakfast and one bottle from frigobar. It would be better to go in a Motel in Lumbard Street!
friendly and helpful staff.
quaint rooms but little closet/drawer space or surfaces to put "stuff"
The staff were incredible, the attention to detail regarding providing a comfortable stay was outstanding. They also showed genuine interest to how the trip for us was going and offered any help and advice openly.
Lack of tea making facilities.
- the staff were wonderful !! - we shared a suite and it was fantastic. The sliding doors allowed each of us privacy at night, and a sizeable, comfy space in the day. - room facilities were great: 2 TVs, 2 bathrooms, desk, coffee table, bureaus, lovely armoires in each room -nice bathrooms very comfy beds
-I liked everything, but would say that the furniture is a little past its prime. Nicks and chips on the wood, a few tears on the drapes, etc.
Short walk from union square
Paying for wifi
Not what I expected for the price. Booked a room for double occupancy and got single, had to get two roll away's brought in.
hotel was quaint and in good location. Dining room was very nice.
the room was dusty, not very clean. Inch of dust on door jams. Massive dust in between partition doors in suite. Room on street side was horribly noisy. Not enough towels for 3 people sharing a suite.
great location, really friendly staff, quaint, nice sheets
rather high priced for what you get (200+ per night), room is a little old which is in character with the historic location but I think there then has to be a strong emphasis on cleanliness (I found some hair in a drawer and small pieces of garbage under the bed)
Awesome boutique hotel in the heart of Union Square. Great staff and very accommodating.
Nicely decorated and maintained rooms, clean. Very friendly staff.
A little noisy at night due to location right near Union Square/Tenderloin.
Desk staff were excellent and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable and not too noisy
No facilities for coffee or tea in the room. Restaurant closed both nights we stayed
staff, location
noise, no coffee maker or microwave, parking was expensive
I liked the old-world charm of the Warwick
The room was pretty good but there was an old TV in the sitting area inside the wardrobe. Don't know why it was there really.
This place is so elegant. The location is PERFECT! The staff are among the nicest we have ever met-so helpful! We stayed in a suite and it was great.
I liked everything about this hotel!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room. Very good in house restaurant. Convenient location to shopping and business.
We really had no negatives in regard to the Hotel.
It's located nicely across a theatre and very close to restraunts, also a parking garage around the corner, staff is very nice and would stay there again!
Would like a to see a small gym

5 Great Cover Songs!
Just like movie remakes, cover songs can be really tricky. Some are fantastic while some are truly god awful that should have never even considered "paying homage" to the original. But when they nail it, oh boy is it something special. Look at the remakes of John Carpenter's The Thing or Dawn Of The Dead, films that took elements of the original and created something new and exciting. Films like these got me thinking, "What are some of my favorite cover songs? What are songs that payed homage to a classic while creating something original?" So I put together five cover songs that I feel met these requirements for your enjoyment. Head on below for my 5 Great Cover Songs! READ MORE

The newest arrivals to the Bay Isles swan family will most likely arrive April 19 or April 20, according to unofficial "swan keeper" David Novak.
After seeing Wendy the swan alone two days in a row, Novak searched for her mate, Stan, and discovered him filling in for Wendy at their nest, sitting on the eggs.
Alan and Beverly were hard at work on their nest this morning, according to Novak, who expects eggs to follow shortly. Beverly's nest will hatch at least four days after Wendy's nest.
Swan eggs have a 35-day incubation period.
"Once hatched, the drama of survival begins. Last year, only one cygnet made it a year but has not been spotted since," Novak wrote in an email.
Neither pair's nest is in the public view.

Porcello, Tigers look to thwart Royals' sweep bid
For Porcello, it will be all about salvaging some sort of momentum as the Tigers head into a crucial weekend set at Comerica Park against the American League Central-leading White Sox.
Porcello will first need to break a trend set in his past two starts. Although he's been quite good -- perhaps even pitching the best he has all season -- he's got two losses to show for it.
Facing the Orioles on Aug. 18, the right-hander allowed three runs but they came in the sixth inning and broke a 0-0 tie, ultimately resulting in a loss for Porcello. The second came Friday vs. the Angels, when one double -- again in the sixth inning of a scoreless game -- plated two runs.
"Both pitchers made mistakes. [Ours] came with guys on base," said catcher Alex Avila summing up the loss, and essentially both of Porcello's past two starts.
The Royals will counter with Jeremy Guthrie, who faces the Tigers for the second time this season. On June 17, he allowed four runs on eight hits in three innings. However, that was with the Rockies and since being traded to the American League, the 33-year-old's performed much better.
Guthrie put together a string of three consecutive scoreless starts, not allowing a run in 22 2/3 innings. That streak came to an end his last time out against the Red Sox, when he gave up six runs and failed to get out of the third.
"I wasn't sharp," Guthrie said after the game. "I really didn't execute too many pitches."
Tigers: Fister officially named starter
Manager Jim Leyland officially declared Doug Fister (groin strain) the starter for Friday night's series opener against the White Sox. Fister threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and said he felt fine after. As a result, he was named starter and left-hander Drew Smyly will pitch out of the bullpen.
The rosters for the Arizona Fall League were announced Wednesday and for the Tigers, that list included seven prospects. Nick Castellanos, Detroit's No. 1 prospect according to MLB.com, will be joined by James McCann, Aaron Westlake, Tyler Clark, Matt Hoffman, Michael Morrison and Luke Putkonen. They will play for the Mesa Solar Sox.
Royals: Slumping Francoeur gets day off
With Jeff Francoeur only 3-for-35 (.086) in his last 10 games and hitless in his last 18 at-bats, the outfielder was given a night off Wednesday. Francoeur is batting .232 on the season with 11 homers and 34 RBIs, but has just one RBI during his slump.
"I think there's some urgency to try to catch up all in one week which never works," manager Ned Yost said.
Jarrod Dyson took over in center field and Lorenzo Cain in right.
When the Major League rosters expand on Saturday, don't expect to see an influx of talent from Triple-A Omaha right away. With the Storm Chasers (81-57) in the Minor League playoffs, Yost said the squad will be allowed to defend its Pacific Coast League title.
Worth noting
Porcello is 5-2 with a 4.56 ERA in 12 career starts against the Royals and is 3-1 with a 4.42 ERA at Kauffman Stadium. Billy Butler has faced the sinkerballer most, going 10-for-35 (.286) with two doubles and five RBIs.
Guthrie is 3-3 with a 4.18 ERA. Miguel Cabrera is 5-for-15 vs. Guthrie with two home runs, four RBIs and four walks.

In 1982 the founders of Great Clips had an idea. People shouldn't have to wait around all day to get a great haircut from trained stylists at a reasonable price. The philosophy caught on quickly. Within a year Great Clips started franchising and today, Great Clips, Inc. is the world's largest salon brand. Our secret is not thinking like a big company.

The Woman Who (Maybe) Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
Of all the strange baseball exploits of the Depression era, none was more surprising than Jackie Mitchell's supposed feat
- By Tony Horwitz
- Smithsonian magazine, July-August 2013, Subscribe
One spring day my son came home from school and asked, "Do you know about the girl who struck out Babe Ruth?"
I smiled indulgently at this playground tall tale. But he insisted it was true. "I read a book about her in the library," he said.
"Must have been fiction," I churlishly replied, before consulting the Baseball Almanac to bludgeon my 10-year-old with bitter fact.
Instead, I discovered the astounding story of Jackie Mitchell, a 17-year-old southpaw who pitched against the New York Yankees on April 2, 1931. The first batter she faced was Ruth, followed by Lou Gehrig, the deadliest hitting duo in baseball history. Mitchell struck them both out. There was a box score to prove it and news stories proclaiming her "organized baseball's first girl pitcher."
For a lifelong baseball nerd, this was like learning that a hamster once played shortstop or that Druids invented our national pastime. The Sultan of Swat and the Iron Horse couldn't hit a girl? Why had I never heard of her?
This led me, a month later, to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, where I learned that Jackie Mitchell's story was even stranger than I'd supposed, with subplots involving donkeys, long beards and a lingering mystery about what transpired when she took the mound in 1931.
The Hall of Fame remains a pretty macho place, filled with plaques and exhibits honoring thousands of men who have played the game. But after touring the Babe Ruth Room and paying homage to Lou Gehrig's locker and Stan Musial's bat, I found a small exhibit on women in baseball, titled "Diamond Dreams." As with so much of baseball history, determining "firsts" and separating fact from lore can be tricky. All-women teams competed against each other as early as the 1860s, and in later decades traveling squads such as the Blondes and Brunettes drew paid spectators. But most of these early players were actresses, recruited and often exploited by male owners. "It was a show, a burlesque of the game," says Debra Shattuck, a leading expert on women in baseball.
Around the turn of the century, however, women athletes of real ability began competing with men and sometimes playing on the same teams in bygone semipro leagues. The first to appear in baseball's minor leagues was Lizzie Arlington, who wore bloomers while pitching for the Reading (Pennsylvania) Coal Heavers against the Allentown Peanuts in 1898.
So Jackie Mitchell wasn't the first woman to play organized baseball, but her appearance on the mound in 1931 became a Depression-era sensation. As a girl in Memphis, she'd allegedly been tutored in baseball by a neighbor and minor-league pitcher, Charles Arthur "Dazzy" Vance, who would go on to lead the National League in strikeouts for seven straight seasons. Mitchell's family moved to Chattanooga, where she became a multisport athlete and joined a baseball school affiliated with the city's Class AA minor-league team, the Lookouts, and attracted attention with her sinking curveball.
The Lookouts' new president, Joe Engel, was a showman and promoter whose many stunts included trading a player for a turkey, which was cooked and served to sportswriters. In 1931, he booked the Yankees for two exhibition games against the Lookouts as the major leaguers traveled north from spring training. A week before their arrival, he announced the signing of Mitchell to what's believed to be one of the first professional baseball contracts given to a woman.
The prospect of a 17-year-old girl facing the mighty Yankees generated considerable media coverage, most of it condescending. One paper wrote, "The curves won't be all on the ball" when "pretty" Jackie Mitchell takes the mound. Another reported that she "has a swell change of pace and swings a mean lipstick." The tall, slim teenager, clad in a baggy Lookouts uniform, also posed for cameras as she warmed up by taking out a mirror and powdering her nose.

I believe the book Tony Horwitz's son read in the school library was, "The Girl Who Struck Out Babe Ruth" by Jean L.S.Patrick, published by Carolrhoda Books, Inc./Minneapolis in 2000. It is a favorite of mine since the author is my niece and it is dedicated, "to my grandma, Louise Schmidt, who slid into home plate when she was fourteen and captured the heart of my grandpa".

How is it possible that this article, especially the "House of David" part, fails to mention the other Babe: Mildred Ella Didrikson Zaharias.
Posted by Charles E Sudranski on July 11,2013 | 12:29 AM
The idea that Dale Gear was a woman is another hoax. Dale Dudley Gear actually broke into major league baseball with the Cleveland Spiders in 1896. Despite a brief major league career, is not an obscure figure in baseball history. Gear spent great deal life in organized baseball in some capacity. He played 15 minor league seasons and was also a manager and part-owner. An 1898 graduate of the Kansas University School of Law, Dale Gear served as president of the Southwestern League, the Western League and Western Association and was on the National Board, an appeal body for minor league baseball. He died in 1951. His wife, Pearl, is buried beside him at Mount Hope Cemetery in Topeka.

Joe Engel, sometimes called the "P.T. Barnum of Baseball" or the "Baron of Baloney," admitted on more than one occasion that it was a ruse which Ruth and Gehrig agreed to be part of, but one in which Jackie Mitchell herself was probably not aware. Checking contemporary news coverage, I find no evidence that a Landis' ruling "widely reported." In fact, Babe Ruth, not Landis, was quoted as saying that baseball was "too strenuous" for women. the Commissioner's office has confirmed Landing made no such ruling. Jackie Mitchell remained on contract to Chattanooga but never appeared in a regulation game. Joe Engel essentially rented her out for exhibitions and barnstorming events. In late April 1931, another woman, Vada Corbus, signed a minor league contract, so no ban existed.
Posted by Dan O'Brien on July 11,2013 | 11:31 AM
I enjoyed the article on Jackie Mitchell, but did you know there was a woman who actually played in the major leagues? Her name was Dale Gear and she played briefly for the Washington Senators in 1901.
Posted by Dave Deal on July 6,2013 | 05:30 PM
"Hell, better hitters than them couldn't hit me." That gives it away right there. If this lady was too dumb to realize that Babe Ruth is the greatest hitter in the history of the sport, she was clearly not smart enough to realize he struck out on purpose.

I responded to a survey earlier saying that paid advertising and links were not disruptive. That was before I saw some links (presumably paid) for stories attempting to attract readers with women in swimsuits, one in a rather compromising position - not exactly what I want to have to explain to the 10 year old looking over my shoulder.
Posted by Bee on July 3,2013 | 09:50 AM
Interesting article; one thing I'd note is that the difference in power between adult males (especially large pro atheletes) and females compared with preteen boys and girls in little league is much bigger in the former, so it's not surprising that there are many girls who can play at the same level with boys. In our ridiculous modern PC society, if there were women who could compete in the majors, they would be most certainly be doing so, but even today there are none.I'm pretty sure that the Babe and Gehrig just went along with the gag.

Since there wasn't a gas station along the previous block, he's obviously out of fuel.

Classic Car News
Nevada classic cars at Christmas
Image: Collector Car Ads 2010
Spanish Springs in sunny Nevada has played host to what will is likely to be its final event for classic cars of 2011, with hundreds of people turning out to celebrate their vehicles in a suitably festive style.
The Villages Christmas Cruise event certainly made the most of the spirit of the season, with many of the participants choosing to decorate their vintage motors with the kinds of things you might normally expect to find hanging from trees at this time of year.
Amongst the cars on display was a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, which owner, Alex Szuch, said was inspired by Burt Reynolds' movie Smokey and the Bandit.
Mr Szuch has gone as far as to equip his Trans Am with a mannequin he intends to represent movie star Sally Fields and the character she portrayed in the film. The model has a permanent place in the front seat of the car, which may disgruntle potential passengers but certainly wins the approval of fans, he told the Village Daily Sun.
The Christmas treats were rounded off by a visit from Santa and his wife, enthusiastically portrayed by a local couple, so there was something for the whole family at the event.

The first commercial discovery of oil was made in north Sumatra in 1885; subsequent exploration led to the finding of many more fields, especially in southern Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan.
Proved recoverable reserves at end-2005 have been based on published data, and reflect the consensus view of Oil & Gas Journal, OAPEC, OPEC and BP, at a level of 4 300 million barrels. World Oil, while ostensibly excluding NGLs, quotes a significantly higher figure at 5 025 million barrels.
In 2004 Indonesia exported over 40% of its output of crude oil and condensate, as well as about half of its production of gas-plant LPGs. The bulk of its oil exports are consigned to Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia and China. It has been a member of OPEC since 1962.

boot almost back to bare metal. i've been stripping the paint with orbital air-compressed sanders. which you can see in one of the following pics of the roof. in the spray bottle is rust converter. only small rust spot on bottom right corner but i still sprayed the whole boot and then wipe it down with a rag. with the spray bottle you can spray in to all the crooks and crevices and i've found you get better coverage and rust converter lasts longer.

the roof is nearly back to spray standards. bit dusty though.. sanders: red one is bought from supacheap for $30 and is wicked for stripping with the right sanding pad on. ran at 50 to 60 PSI. the other one is also an orbital (borrowed from a mate) but has a smaller rotation circle as it is retanglar shaped and it seems to cover just as much area as the red one and is perfect for getting a nice smooth finish, ready for spraying. feels glassy

rear EJ screen, glass removed
i have popped out both the front and rear windscreens. i've found the easiest way to remove these windscreens is to use soapy water and spray it around the seals before you start. makes the rubber nice and soft and you dont need to cut it. mine is soft and undamaged ready to re-use. this is the only rust that was underneath this seal. i think its pretty good considering this car was left in the weather out bush for nine years uncovered for the majority. the old car canvas tarp had disintegrated around it. probably a good thing in the end.
